Allebei blijken we een beetje bang te zijn voor grote, gladde barkrukken en woedend te worden van niet meewerkend verpakkingsmateriaal. Het delen van deze peeve biedt werkelijk vertroosting en dat kunnen we, nu de paus is overleden, goed gebruiken. Waar we ook blij van worden, is de groothandel. Ach, de groothandel... De mooie dingen des levens komen er samen: eten, geperforeerde huishoudfolie (tip van onze achterban!), echtparen met een b&b, en, niet te vergeten, gratis tapas. Aaf leidde deze week een Beladen Avond in de Balie, die eindigde in zachte verbondenheid en mededogen. Het was een verwarrende week voor Lies. De sorteerhoed deelde haar in bij Ravenklauw en prompt werd haar waterkoker onzichtbaar gemaakt. Welke toverspreuk laat een waterkoker nou verdwijnen? Daar kan alleen maar Jeweetwelwie achterzitten. Wat doen we met de ellendige demonen die ons opzwepen altijd maar nuttig te zijn? We vertellen je alles over weekenddrang, de vier uur-vertwijfeling en het ‘blijkbaar had je dit nodig'-moment.

Hoe ouder, hoe meer er achter je ligt en hoe meer er valt op re ruimen. Niet alleen in je hoofd, maar ook fysiek. Wat hebben we veel spullen. Als je vader overlijdt komen er ook weer een hoop spullen bij. Daar moet je allemaal doorheen, met het bijbehorende verdriet. Kortom, het hele bord van rouw moet je leegeten. Aaf legt respectvol en oordeelvrij uit waarom ze niet van spirituele seksualiteit op de dansvloer houdt. Waar we ook niet van houden, is vragen om hulp. Waarom vinden we dat zo moeilijk en vervelend? Niet tot last willen zijn en de touwtjes in handen houden, dat is de kern van het probleem. Tip: maak de hulp gezellig en serveer er een koekje bij. Onze luisteraar van de week moet liefdevol haar grenzen gaan bewaken, en een mooi middeleeuwse dier woont in het natuurhoekje.Krijg nu een exclusieve korting van 15% op Saily eSim data plans!

Aaf kreeg een ervaring voor haar verjaardag, en wat voor een: ze ging met familie ecstatic dancen, maar hoe extatisch was dat precies? Lies vertrok op haar mislukte trip naar Londen, die zich transformeerde in een geslaagde reis naar brutalistisch Brussel. De extatische dans zette ons aan tot peinzen over de comfort zone, en wanneer je erin en eruit moet stappen. Is een leven op de veilige bank thuis wel wenselijk, zou je jezelf beter tot de uiterste randen van cringe en spanning moeten duwen, en welke trucs kun je gebruiken om het anticomfort in het bestaan toch het hoofd te bieden?Een lieve, maar fulltime neuriënde dochter is ook niet altijd even comfortabel, merkt een luisteraar op in haar eigen leven, en onze goeroe van de week verdient dan weer juist miljoenen met het bedenken van verhalen waar eigenlijk iedereen aanhoudend in de knel zit.Een gezonde huid begint van binnenuit: met een gezonde levenstijl, weten wat je huid écht nodig heeft én de juiste producten.

De een doet het met gepraat om stiltes te vullen, de ander met verwennerij om het schuldgevoel jegens anderen te verdrijven, maar een beetje overcompenseren doen we allemaal, alhoewel dat volgens sommige grote psychiaters uit de vorige eeuw heel prima is. Lies kreeg een bericht over haar nieuwe ogen en nieuwe leven, Aaf leefde in haar yolo era en stapte in de trein naar Londen. Hoe moet je omgaan met de ietwat hardhandige kinderschare van je beste vriendin? Die vraag brengt ons op rubberen tegels en andere kwesties. En over ondergrond gesproken: let dit seizoen goed op bij zandpaadjes met kleine gaatjes erin. Lies legt uit waarom.Saily: krijg nu een exclusieve korting van 15% op Saily eSim data plans!

Lies heeft gezien hoe een goudhaantje zich waste in haar vijver, en wat betekent dat? Lies heeft nieuwe kijkers! Een wereld van baardharen, huidstructuren, beestjes in de tuin en onvolkomenheden in haar huis openbaren zich plots aan Lies door haar hervonden zicht, en dat is wonderbaarlijk. We hebben het deze week over verwachtingen die behaald of juist compleet desillusionerend kunnen worden, en Aaf haalt de wijsheid van haar oude levenslerares Gretchen Rubin hierover even van stal. Die verwachtingsmanagentkennis is wellicht ook nuttig voor onze luisteraar die er nu wel klaar mee is dat haar vriend nogal intense banden met zijn ex van tien jaar geleden onderhoudt. En de wereld wordt beter van tijdschriften, en daarom is de goeroe deze week van papier gemaakt.Recycle je oude dekbedden en kussens bij IKEA. Als dank krijg je 15% korting op je nieuwe.

Lies had Osterdagen, Aaf zat op de Mulischtrap. We eerden dus de oude meesters, maar leren ook steeds vaker om zero fucks te geven, al hebben we daar soms een handboek bij nodig. Je hebt goeie zero fucks en nare zero fucks, en het is ook wel belangrijk om het slappe koord daartussen juist te bewandelen.

Hey Buzzkills!   This week's episode is PACKED with all the action and info you need! We're celebrating Abortion Provider Appreciation Week, and AAF is out on the road doing the important work of showing our support for the heroes who keep abortion care alive. Dr. Ashley Jeanius, OB-GYN and abortion provider, joins us to talk about how she feels celebrated during this special week and how YOU can show love and support for the providers in your life. But that's not all! We dive into the latest battlefronts, starting with the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race—where billionaires are throwing money to protect the anti-abortion agenda. We break down the stakes and why it matters. Then, we move to Kansas, where a potential ballot initiative could radically change the state's Supreme Court appointments, opening the floodgates for dark money to flood the system. We can't let that happen! PLUS, we dodge a bullet when David Weldon's CDC Director nomination gets pulled—because we weren't about to let that disaster unfold. It's packed with rage, real talk, and the kind of info you can't afford to miss.  Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Paulien Cornelisse is op bezoek! Daarom zijn we vrolijk en uitgelaten en is Aaf lekker een beetje balorig. Meteen meanderen we razendsnel via de broek of shame in de leeshoek naar een gympvormige auto die ergernis wekt om vervolgens via klontvorming uit te komen bij onze koning die hèhè zegt. Hèhè! In haar boekenweekessay onderzoekt Paulien hoe we als Nederlanders steeds maar schipperen tussen gezelligheid en eerlijkheid en hoe onze taal ons daarbij liefdevol helpt. Hiervoor gebruiken we woorden die best weleens wat extra TLC verdienen. Wat is een sexy emoji? Wuivend graan? Spetters? De meningen verschillen enorm. Gen X, gen Z en Millenials communiceren echt op een andere manier, zo blijkt. Een kat begrijpt een labrador niet altijd, maar ze doen beiden echt hun best. Dat is heel fijn om te weten. Ons luisteraarsprobleem behelst een droge hoest, een collega, die een appel eet en een loopneus. Hoe sluit je je hiervoor af?De Boeddha biedt, hoe kan het ook anders, troost en verlichting.

Aaf Brandt Corstius presenteert haar boek 'Ik ga tóch iets zeggen', met columns die ze schreef voor De Volkskrant over het Vragenuur in de Tweede Kamer. Botte en Ype zijn gevraagd om haar te interviewen in boekhandel Paagman (Fred) in Den Haag. Aaf vertelt voor een gezellige, grote groep mensen over de soms absurde dingen die ze ziet wanneer ze op de perstribune zit in de Tweede Kamer. Voorafgaand aan dat leuke gesprek hoor je nog jonge mensen op weg naar de boekhandel praten over wat er zoal bij het leven kwam kijken in de afgelopen week. Vanaf minuut 25 hoor je Aaf. Veel plezier met deze aflevering!ShownotesBestel het boek van Aaf bij Paagman in Den HaagBestel het boek bij je lokale boekhandel via LibrisAafs boeken bij MeulenhoffWil je ons steunen?

Aaf is op een romcom-manier vijftig geworden en Lies is min of meer genezen van de griep: wat een week, nu al. Tijd om een heikel onderwerp te tackelen: uitstelgedrag. De oude Egyptenaren hadden er al last van, dus waarom is dit dan niet door enige vorm van evolutie gecorrigeerd? Volgens Lies heb je soms juist baat bij uitstellen, Aaf denkt dat je vooral in aanraking moet zijn met je toekomstige zelf. Wie gewoon haar authentieke zelf mag zijn, is een luisteraar die er niet van houdt om bezoek te onthalen in haar eigen huis en zich afvraagt of ze krankzinnig is. En wie altijd haar stralende zelf was, is onze goeroe van de week, een vrouw die nog belangrijker was dan Sinterklaas en dat voor altijd zal blijven.De natuur heeft alles om je brein gezond te houden.

Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod! The good news trickled in this week with the Supreme Court saying hell-to-the-no to anti-abortion stalkers!! Woooohoooooo! PLUS, your Feminist Buzzkills got all the tea to fill you in on why Justices Sam ALEAKo and Ginny's husband are throwing a tantrum about not having the opportunity to shame us further. OH and what happens when a hermit friar and two laypeople walk onto a sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic in New Jersey? Tune in and find out. THIS WEEK'S GUESTS ARE POPPIN'! 17 states are coming for federal disability rights and the Buzzkills are raging about it. We're joined by Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund, Laurie Bertram Roberts, AKA “The Abortion Lady of Mississippi.” She's a dope disability rights and reproductive justice activist who's doing huge things for the South. She yaps with us to share her own reproductive injustice story, explore the alarming movement threatening disability rights and Section 504, delve into the intersections of reproductive rights and disability rights as components of Reproductive Justice, and remind us why we can't abandon the South.  PLUS comedian, writer and activist and our very own AAF board member, Joyelle Nicole Johnson stops by AGAIN to help us laugh through the pain of the Trumpocalypse. The Feminist Buzzkills fav hops in the mix to tells us how sharing her abortion story has empowered others, what baby crawl races are doing for her serotonin this month, meeting Ketanji Brown Jackson (eeep!), her OnlyFans journey, and why we all have to incorporate more dick dragging into our lives this year – specifically the pink ones.  Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

This week on Feminist Buzzkills, Lizz holds it down alone as Moji is off on a birthday vacay, so wish our favorite Pisces all the best! Missouri fucked around and found out, so Lizz drills into what the hell is going on with the “Mother of the West's” pregnancy registry and how it's really just a taxpayer-funded stalking site. Plus, JD Vance causes MANARCHY IN THE UK, and IVF gets a boost from the POS POTUS. Call us, text us, we wanna help! Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights?

PLUS! Veteran journalist superstar and new Executive Director of Rewire News Group, Mallory Johns, joins to explain that we're in this current abortion crisis because comprehensive media coverage on reproductive care has never existed(!), self-care tools for navigating toxic information, and how we need to support indie media *cough* i.e. Rewire and AAF *cough* as we fill the gap!  Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Hanja Maij-Weggen, de ovenwanten van de dierenarts en een levensveranderend boek: het zijn zomaar wat van de onderwerpen die deze week aan bod komen.Hoe zijig de term ‘ruimte innemen' ook is, het is wel het thema van Beladen huis, het boek van Christien Brinkgreve dat we deze aflevering beschreven. Voor Lies en Aaf allebei best een ingrijpende leeservaring, op een goeie manier. Wat ook allemaal ruimte mocht innemen: twee nieuwe katjes, de bril van Lies en een luisteraar die zich op haar beurt afvraagt hoeveel ruimte die mag innemen bij de uitvaart van een hun onbekende oma.De sponsor van deze aflevering is Picnic!

Send us a textThis week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we are thrilled to welcome the legendary Mr. Harrison “Red” Kennicott III, AAF, a true pioneer in the floral industry. Red's connection to flowers runs deep, having grown up working at his family's wholesale business, Kennicott Bros. Co., since the age of 12. He graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Floriculture, and over the years, he has served as president of several major industry organizations, including SAF, the Allied Florists of Illinois, and WF&FSA. In this episode, Red reflects on his lifelong journey in the floral world, sharing insights on the value of having a trusted wholesaler, the history and evolution of Kennicott Bros., and even takes us behind the scenes of the NEW Jet Fresh building. Red talks about his love for working the wholesale floor and sees opportunities to improve their historic floral company. With his team, they work together to establish best practices for quality and integrity. A standout moment in Kennicott Bros.' history came in 2000, when Red & Katie Kennicott led the company's transition to a 100% employee-owned business, fostering a sense of pride and stability among the staff. As Red puts it, “Now, when customers call, they are speaking with the owners.” With awards like the WF&FSA's Leland T. Kintzele Distinguished Service Award, SAF's Paul Ecke Hall of Fame, and the AIFD Award of Merit under his belt, Red's contributions to the floral industry are nothing short of extraordinary. Join Mike, Mimi, and Fern as they enjoy a great conversation full of stories, wisdom, and a deep love for the floral industry. This is one episode you don't want to miss! https://www.kennicott.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Kennicott1881 https://www.instagram.com/kennicott1881/?igsh=MTJiZ3YzdDMzajQ4eg%3D%3D# 

Send us a textThis week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we're joined by the delightful and super-talented Renee Tucci, AIFD, PFCI, AAF! She's not only a floral design powerhouse but a true advocate for the power of positivity and education. Renee takes us on a journey through her career—from getting her degree in ornamental horticulture to pivoting from designer to manager and, eventually, finding her calling as an educator.In 2019, Renee went all in on freelancing, wrote a book, and started teaching floral design classes that have ignited a spark in countless future designers. Now, as a passionate educator at Bucks County Community College, she's shaping the next generation of Certified Floral Designers (CFD), with a special AIFD track to boot!But wait, there's more! Renee's also the President-Elect of AIFD, a volunteer with SAF's Awards Committee, and she's organizing her students to showcase their talent at the legendary Philadelphia Flower Show. Oh, and did we mention her social media series, Vitamin F? It's all about the mental health benefits of flowers, because we could all use a little more bloom in our lives.Renee shares how she balances her packed calendar, her commitment to her students, and how she's spreading positive vibes all around. Plus, Ryan pitches the idea of a Tucci TV segment (we're here for it,!). Tune in for a fresh dose of floral feel-good energy, and a whole lot of inspiration!  

Het feest van dyspraxie barstte ook dit jaar weer los. Lies had fietsgerelateerde onhandigheden en Aaf worstelde met een kapotte roltrap. Vallen, je hoofd stoten, of geen diepte kunnen zien: Het blijft tobben als onhandig mens. Een matige, moeilijke of vermoeide week mag er ook best weleens zijn trouwens. Hoe anders dan met een bezwaard gemoed neem je het nieuws tot je dezer dagen? Vrolijk wordt je ook niet als je het beginnetje van een rolletje plakband niet kunt vinden of als plakband niet eens plakt. Niets blijft ons bespaard. Down the rabbit hole van het internet vallen en niet weten waar je uitkomt, we doen het allemaal. Is het fijn om ‘s nachts langs ijsmummies te scrollen, of om echt álles over Miuccia Prada te lezen? Ja, en soms ook: nee. We delen tips hoe je het konijnenhol weer uit kunt klimmen na een ontspannende deep dive. Een luisteraar, die in vriendschap en liefde moet leren loslaten, proberen we te helpen en Aaf bewierookt een goeroe die vaak zomaar een dansje doet, zeker nadat ze de deur van haar mans mancave zachtjes heeft dichtgedaan.ICM heeft een cadeautje voor je!

A conversation with Keralee Clay, the Interim President and CEO of the Amarillo Area Foundation. She's been part of the AAF team for years, but stepped into her new role after the passing of Clay Stribling in December 2024. Keralee has a deep background in operations and management, but her career has also been broad. She spent several years working for Amarillo Little Theatre and the Amarillo Civic Center. She lived and performed in New York City for a decade. She was a human resources consultant. Keralee shares with host Jason Boyett how those roles prepared her for this new one, what it's like to guide a large organization during a tragic leadership change, and what she learned from Stribling as a colleague. This episode is supported by SKP Creative and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.

Warning: spoilers en gepraat over een 16-plus film!Lies was jarig, Aaf was moe. Zo valt de week samen te vatten, maar er is nog zoveel meer, zoals die ene film waar iedereen medio januari een mening over heeft, inclusief wijzelf: Babygirl.Onze mening gaat ook over de andere meningen, dus er is een hoop uit te pakken.En dan de aankopen: Aaf heeft een apparaat met cupjes, dat meteen een pet peeve voortbracht, Lies overweegt de aanschaf van een flappentak.Een luisteraar wil door een blessure niet ineens de hele vakantie de ski-oppas van haar vrienden zijn, en rijdend over de snelweg ziet Lies vaak een dier dat erg op haar vriend lijkt: de zilverreigerDe natuur heeft alles om je brein gezond te houden. Omega-3 vetzuren zijn een van de belangrijkste bouwstenen van ons brein. Bekijk alle informatie over de vegan Omega-3 vetzuren met DHA en EPA hier. Denk aan je brein met de kracht van de natuur.

Waarom vindt elke generatie de jongere generatie lui en overgevoelig, en de generatie die boven zichzelf staat, te spartaans en niet in staat om over gevoelens te praten? En: waarom doen wij, Aaf en Lies, steeds per ongeluk aan zelffelicitatie over onze eigen generatie? Belangrijke vragen in de eerste weken van het jaar, die Aaf trouwens doorkwam met een katholieke variant op Dry January, en Lies met de productiefste maandag ooit. Onze huisbioloog doet een duit in het zakje over de recente aflevering over overthinking, en een luisteraar heeft deze week zoveel kerstkaarten gekregen dat ze er een opslagruimte voor moet inhuren. Of toch misschien de hele boel weggooien? Mag dat? Onze goeroe is van de Stille Generatie: hij was een hork, niet woke, waarschijnlijk zelfs echt fout en volgens zijn eigen vrouw een rotte appel. Maar we zijn wel gek op hem.Wat is nu écht het 'beste voor je kind'? Luister naar de podcast van de Gemeente Utrecht voor verrassende inzichten – klik hier!

We hebben er allemaal last van. Ongekaderd piekeren: Gebeurtenissen zo doodanalyseren dat je bij God niet meer weet wat er nou eigenlijk gebeurde. Zo bang zijn om een slechte beslissing te nemen dat je tot niks meer komt. Hoe kun je dit beteugelen? We doen ons uiterste best in ieder geval. Van de stoelentechniek tot ventileren tot het keihard duwen van je eigen flipperkast: hier is het laatste nog niet over gezegd. Als je een tandenborstel voor een pen aanziet heb je een probleem. Lies was deze week heel basaal bezig met het achteruitgaan van haar belangrijkste zintuig. Aaf hostte een avond rondom All Fours, het briljante, gênante, grappige, gekmakende boek van Miranda July, dat afgelopen jaar uitkwam. July zelf was eerst een beetje geschrokken van het diamateriaal maar ze ging uiteindelijk overstag. Weldra zal Aaf ongetwijfeld in Miranda's denktank plaatsnemen in zonnig Californië en ons vertwijfeld achterlaten. De goeroe van de week leert ons hoe belangrijk het vertellen van je verhaal is en dat álles een goed verhaal kan zijn. Zelfs, als iets uiteindelijk (een beetje helaas) niet gebeurd is…

Welk ding fleurt dezer dagen ongetwijfeld heel wat nieuwjaarsborrels op? Dat is de pantytafel, ofwel tafelrok. Sommige mensen worden er woedend van en dat begrijpen we.Gek genoeg fleurt de plastic kerstboom ons dan wél weer op. Sfeer en onverwoestbare buigzaamheid blijken voor Aaf een gouden combi. Gelukkigmakend was deze week ook het Düsseldorfs filmmuseum, het dioramahotel en de warme tobbe: Lies is hoog-calorisch op minivakantie geweest. Het kerstproblemorama barst los! Daniel helpt ons met handige tips hoe je zonder schoenen toch een stijlicoon blijft. Emma heeft troostende adviezen voor de single kerstvierder die zich alleen voelt. Pepijn vertelt ons over ‘kill them with kindness' en weet zo een levensgevaarlijke kerstruzie te voorkomen.Jelle en Marc helpen je discreet en deskundig als je de namen van je buren niet meer weet. In het natuurhoekje woont een vredesduif in een lelijke conifeer.

Aaf heeft weer eens iets gelezen: er is een beroemde styliste die zegt dat je drie woorden moet uitkiezen waarop je je gehele kledingstijl baseert. We proberen deze techniek op elkaar uit, met gemengd resultaat. Een luisteraar stuurde ons een briljante ergernis, die wij op duizenden manieren blijken te delen. En een andere luisteraar vroeg op Equal Pay Day eens aan wat collega's wat ze verdienden, en wat bleek: de mannen verdienden meer dan zij! Wat nu? In ieder geval dient het woord ‘bedelen' niet te vallen in eventuele gesprekken met de baas, besluiten we.Iemand die altijd tevreden was met wat ie had, omdat hij ook simpelweg niet uitbetaald werd voor zijn diensten, was de kat van Aaf, Bremton, ook de goeroe van de week. Verder: maiskorrels, kippen en Walt Disney, allemaal binnen het bestek van één verhaal.

Your favorite guest host is back – Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi! Lizz is off prepping for her mega-fun end-of-year comedy shows, so AAF's Head Writer and comedy superstar is back to hold it down with Moji. Trump's cabinet is out here looking like your abuela's junk drawer, so your Feminist Buzzkills are diving deep into it all so you don't have to! We're highlighting the worst of the bunch (spoiler: the bunch is ROTTEN AF) from his doom box of picks and breaking down what each one means for the future of abortion. It's the who's who of ICK! PLUS, you'll hear allllllll the tea on this week's abortion news.   AND! WE'VE GOT DRAGALICIOUS GUESTS!

De lucht is ijl bovenop de Olympus van de podcastwereld. Jaap en Sander zitten op een troon van smaragd en saffier, omringd door Broers, Man Man Mannen en Gorgels. Maar naast hen zit Aaf Brandt Corstius, de godmother van de podcast. Vanaf het begin vindt ze dingen, lost ze op en geeft ze financieel advies, met steeds wisselende medepresentatoren. Maar vandaag is Aaf niet alleen een medegod; ze is een criticus. Want terwijl Jaap en Sander graag ongevraagd kritiek geven op vrouwen, vraagt Aaf zich af: is dat wel terecht? En vooral: kunnen ze zelf wel tegen kritiek? Met scherpe vragen en een spiegel die alles onthult, daagt Aaf de godfathers uit. Want op de Olympus geldt één wet: wie uitdeelt, moet ook kunnen incasseren.Verbeter je slaap met het assortiment van Matt Sleeps. Maak nu gebruik van hun hoogste korting ooit tijdens Black Friday.

Sinds vorige week staan we tot onze knieën in de pet peeves. Wat blijkt, delen helpt. Samen je ergeren is fijn en maakt onze woede tot iets gezelligs. Een nieuwe rubriek lijkt ons daarom wel gepast, dus: Wat was er allemaal vervelend deze week? Vanaf nu kom je er genadeloos achter.Communicatie via marktplaats zette Lies op het verkeerde been. Nu rest er schaamte, maar ook een mooi stoeltje met een vlek waar je prima op kunt zitten. Communicatie via groepsapps valt ook niet mee. Niemand wil een online lootje trekken met Aaf, en hoe ga je om met de straatapp? Veel emoji's gebruiken is een tikje van gisteren, zo blijkt, maar de Namasté-bidhandjes zijn gek genoeg nog steeds van nu, net zoals de opgestoken duim. Waarom koopt je vriend zonder overleg een huis? En wat nu?Waarom moeten we en masse op openbare wc-brillen gaan zitten? Aafs goeroe van de week heeft het vet aangezet, en is gek op sprenkelen. Lekker.

Wat jammer, dat insta voor Lies nog steeds ingewikkeld blijkt. Berichtjes sturen naar je zoon via je werkaccount is gewoon sneu, zeker als hij niks terugstuurt. Lies wordt oud. Wie steeds jonger wordt, is Aaf. Op schoolreisje gaan en in een jeugdherberg slapen is leuker op je 49ste dan op je 16e! Berlijn heeft alles gegeven: een mandarijnenkaars, een voorstelling met twee doventolken, heerlijke musea en een schier oneindige hoeveelheid koffie verkeerd. Dokter Pol was in Nederland en Tineke de kip had een medische afspraak. Gelukkig bleek er niks aan de hand en kon ze snel terug de tuin in. Lies daarentegen bleef nog dagen erna op een roze wolk. Kleine ergernissen, oftewel pet peeves nemen, als je niet oplet, je leven over. Wie ergert zich nou niet aan alfalfa, een ontstoken velletje aan je vingernagel en een ondergrondse fietsenstalling? Hoe laveer je blijmoedig tussen je irritaties door? Een tip van de sluier: de leuke dingen worden nog leuker als iets stoms ze omringt. We helpen een luisteraar die een beetje riekt, maar het zelf niet ruikt. In het natuurhoekje woont Erik, met zijn lange staart en zijn overslaande stem.

She's the author of the NYT bestseller Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win and of the acclaimed newsletter Abortion, Every Day. Jessica breaks down what these election results mean for our rights in her classic real AF style–plus, she offers us an important reminder of why we fight and why hope is very much alive.Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Het was een week vol highs: Lies bezocht de première van haar eigen serie, Gooische Vrouwen, en maakte een gênant moment mee aan de bar. Aaf stond oog in oog met haar eigen, immer te laat komende tieneridool. Over gênante momenten en bars gesproken: hoe moet dat toch, de borrel van je werk, een feest van je freelance opdrachtgever of een andere plek waar ‘genetwerkt' dient te worden en je ‘je gezicht moet laten zien'? We nemen alles door, van de voordelen van een hoge barkruk tot de glorie van een goed gelukte Irish goodbye. ‘Sterkte' – dat is het enige wat de geliefde van een van onze luisteraars terugappt als zij schrijft dat ze ziek is. Wij proberen de ergernis weg te nemen door het appgedrag van verschillende types mensen te duiden. En dan zit er nog een klein dier in een heel klein hoekje, misschien wel in een vaas. Hij heeft best een slechte naam, maar dat is onzin. Lies doet zelfs een imitatie, maar dan moet je je oor heel goed tegen de speakertjes aanhouden.P.S.: de zorgen omtrent de temperatuur van de onverwarmde handdouche worden ook behandeld.

** AAF wants to remind listeners: If you are undocumented, you are legally entitled to abortion care, as long as it complies with the abortion laws of whatever state you are in.** AAF is looking for NY-based folks to volunteer and march in the Halloween day parade with us! Interested? Email programs@aafront.org for more deets! Abortion pill sniffing dogs and bodily autonomy snatching AGs? It must be spooky season! All Hallow's Eve is nigh so let us commence with the witchy descriptions of this week's episode! Moji and Lizz have an alarming story about drug dogs being used to target medication abortion by mail that will make the hair on your arms stand at attention. PLUS, THREE aggro Attorneys General clearly have ZERO hobbies —instead, they're in federal court, claiming abortion pills are ruining their states because they stop teens from pumping the next generation of workers!!!  PLUS WE GOT GUESTS!! Hilarious comedian and influencer, Che Guerrero, has created a huge online community by sharing his experience of living Undocumented in the U.S. and drops in to spill the tea on saving his Abuela's life as a child, intersectionality, and the power of leaning into your identity and story! AND broadening the conversation to touch on the extra challenges undocumented folks experience trying to access abortion, red nesbitt, joins the chat about their work at the Mariposa Fund, an abortion fund that supports undocumented people seeking abortion care in the U.S. Too many tricks and not enough treats y'all.  Times are heavy, but knowledge is power.

Aaf Brandt Corstius en Lies Visschedijk zijn al jaren bevriend en hebben heel wat met elkaar meegemaakt. Als leeftijdsgenoten heeft de jaren '90 een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten en alles wat uit dat decennium stamt, is een bron van verhalen voor de twee. Aaf en Lies bespreken om de week een iconisch jaren '90 fenomeen. Vaste telefoons, boybands, aarsgewei tattoo's, koffie verkeerd, alles komt in Aaf en Lies Pakken Door voorbij. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, komen ze ook nog elke aflevering met een waanzinnige cultuurtip.Luister via deze link 30 dagen gratis op Podimo! Hosted on Acast.

Rachel Shechtman is a fourth-generation retail entrepreneur and founder of STORY, a concept store known for its editorial, ever-changing approach to retail. Prior to opening STORY, Rachel built a career in consulting, founding Cube Ventures in 2002 - an independent firm known for its skill of strategically combining business models. When Rachel launched STORY in 2011 she did so with the belief that retail held the potential to be about more than the transaction - it could serve as a channel for branded, community-based storytelling – retail media. STORY offered the point of a magazine, changed like a gallery, and sold things like a store. After seven years and 44 different ‘themes', in April 2018, Rachel sold STORY to Macy's Inc. where she served as Brand Experience Officer until July 2020. During her time at Macy's, Rachel successfully launched two new businesses for the brand and built a 150+ person cross-functional team specifically and strategically designed to operate, perform and generate effective results efficiently and nimbly within the larger, traditional operation. Rachel has been recognized as Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business, Fortune Magazine's 40 Under 40, Crain's Under 40 and Ad Age's 50 Most Creative. The AAF inducted Rachel into its Advertising Hall of Achievement and in 2018 Shechtman was named a Henry Crown Fellow by the Aspen Institute. Rachel sits on the Board of Directors of the National Retail Federation (NRF) and CAMP, an experiential family retail concept and media company.

Lies zag bij de première de serie terug die ze jaren geleden opnam, en kon er onbevangen naar kijken hoe ze zelf Sylvia speelde, een officier van justitie met een klein sociaal gebrek. Aaf ontdekte deze week een geheel nieuwe manier om de afwasmachine uit te ruimen. Zo kent ieders week z'n eigen hoogtepunten. De hamvraag is ‘Make-up, waarom?' Ja, waarom eigenlijk, en waarom ook eigenlijk niet? Over jezelf op een onbewaakt moment treffen in een spiegel in de Etos, over make-up in de oertijd en het contrast dat met de jaren langzaam uit je gezicht verdwijnt. Het probleem van de luisteraar sluit op deze verlengde beautyhoek aan: zij wordt op haar 31ste grijs en vraagt zich af of ze dat moet omarmen. We hebben een antwoord, waarbij professionele termen als ‘lowlights' vallen. En dan is er een spin met heel lange poten, die vaak verward wordt met een andere spin met heel lange poten. Want het is herfst.

Last time we spoke about the battles for Peleliu and Angaur. Following the amphibious assaults on Peleliu and Anguar, US Marines under General Rupertus intensified their offensive. On September 17, Colonel Hanneken's 7th Marines advanced in Peleliu's southern sector, as the 1st and 5th Marines pushed north, confronting the fortified Umurbrogol Mountains, where Colonel Nakagawa's defenses stalled their progress. Despite reaching key positions by mid-morning, intense Japanese counterattacks continued, causing heavy casualties. On September 18, the 7th Marines, aided by armor, resumed their slow advance, securing the southern part of Peleliu by day's end. Meanwhile, the 1st and 5th Marines faced brutal combat in the central ridges, suffering significant losses. By September 21, the capture of nearby Ulithi Atoll provided a strategic base for future operations. Despite securing important positions, the Marines encountered severe resistance in the Umurbrogol Mountains, leading to high casualties and necessitating reinforcements. By September 23, the Americans secured footholds on Peleliu and Anguar, yet fierce fighting persisted in Nakagawa's fortified positions.

On September 23, Colonel Venable's 322nd Regiment had made little progress breaking into the Lake Salome bowl. With their commanding officer severely injured, a change in tactics was imminent. On the morning of September 24, propaganda broadcasts over a public address system were used to try and persuade the remaining Japanese to surrender. However, only two Japanese soldiers surrendered, reporting that over 300 defenders remained in the bowl under Major Goto. This accurate estimate was disregarded by the American command, who believed only about 150 defenders remained. Following this failed attempt, all available artillery bombarded the bowl in preparation for an attack from the north, altering the appearance of the bowl's interior and rims to aid the upcoming assault. Back at Peleliu, after heavy bombardment, Colonel Dark's 321st Regiment resumed its advance north along the coast on September 24, despite continued harassment from Japanese fire from the central ridges. By noon, they had secured the trail-road junction south of Garekoru. Some troops explored the trail to the east, encountering heavy resistance, while Company G advanced rapidly north through Garekoru, reaching the O-4 Line. Behind them, Dark's 3rd Battalion and Colonel Hanneken's 3rd Battalion also pushed northwards. Further east, the 7th Marines pressed against Colonel Nakagawa's main defenses on the Umurbrogol Mountains. By nightfall, having successfully resisted Japanese counterattacks on O-4, General Rupertus' northward drive had proven to be a significant success. He next planned to cut across the island on September 25 through the eastern trail to completely isolate the Japanese forces in the Umurbrogol ridges. At 07:00, Dark's troops began moving eastward, with Company E successfully reaching the edge of East Road against light opposition. They halted in front of Hill B, which dominated the eastern area. However, the 3rd Battalion encountered heavier resistance from pillboxes and emplacements protected by steep walls and sheer cliffs guarding the northern approaches to the Umurbrogol defense system, making little progress. Meanwhile, to the north, a strong tank-infantry patrol advanced about 1,200 yards, killing 30 Japanese and destroying four pillboxes and two large supply dumps before reaching the O-5 Line. The weak resistance encountered by the patrol suggested that remaining Japanese strength was concentrated in the Umurbrogol Pocket. Thus, at 10:30, Rupertus decided to commit the 5th Marines for a drive to the northern tip of Peleliu. Rapidly relieved by the 1st Marines on eastern Peleliu. Orders to move to the western portion of Peleliu found the 5th Marines in static positions on Eastern Peleliu, where the regimental mission had been to prevent enemy counterlandings. The 1st Battalion was deployed in the vicinity of the radio direction finding station near Ngardololok, the 2d Battalion was holding the islands north of the northeastern peninsula, while the 3d Battalion, less one company, occupied defensive positions along Purple Beach. The 1st Marines completed the relief of the 5th shortly after noon and assumed command of the 5th Marines sector at that time. In order to expedite movement of the regiment to the West Road, the battalions moved out on trucks at 1300, with 1/5 in the lead, followed by 3/5 and 2/5.  By 1600, the 5th Marines had executed the passage of the lines, and the regiment passed through Phase Line O-4 near Garekoru. As 1/5 continued its advance up the West Road, it encountered erratic resistance from what appeared to be Japanese holdouts. The level terrain was devoid of the dense jungle growth abounding elsewhere on Peleliu and offered ideal conditions for the movement of tanks and LVT flamethrowers accompanying the advance battalion. Aside from occasional Japanese sniper and mortar fire, the advance continued for about 500 yards without interruption to Road Junction 15, where the West and East Roads met. This vital point was defended by a small Japanese force, which had installed itself on a ridge dominating the road forks. Around 1700, as the Marines approached this point, the enemy opened fire, which served only to delay the Marines. When the firefight ended the Japanese had lost 20 killed. The battalion continued its advance for another 100 yards and seized the Japanese radio station, whose towers the forward elements of RCT 321 had spotted on the previous day. Having secured this objective, the battalion established night defenses north of the radio station from the beach to the high ground east of the West Road. Upon reaching Road Junction 15 in the wake of the advance of 1/5, the 3d Battalion pivoted to the southeast and headed down East Road, where it established night defenses on the road and along the western slopes of Hill 80. The latter hill, in itself an isolated terrain feature, owed its importance to its location, for it was the only link separating the Kamilianlul ridges to the south from the Amiangal ridges, which formed the northernmost hill mass on Peleliu.   Throughout the evening and night, the forward elements at the radio station were continuously and heavily attacked and bombed but managed to hold against the enemy onslaught. Meanwhile, at Angaur, after a heavy and prolonged artillery bombardment, the 3rd Battalion, 322nd Regiment pushed forward to launch its assault from the north. Finding no route south over the cliffs, they assembled near the northern end of the Milwaukee Railroad for an attack west the following day. At 07:30 on September 26, the infantry launched their assault on Lake Salome, quickly taking control of the eastern rim with minimal resistance. Facing increasing enemy fire, the Americans made their way down the eastern rim to the bowl floor. However, by the end of the day, they were halted by Goto's positions on the northern cliffs and "The Island," a gap between an overgrown coral mound and the eastern rim. To the south, the 2nd Battalion supported the attack by advancing north, capturing the southeast rim and clearing out several enemy cave positions.  Back over on Peleliu the Marines had a very rough night full of Japanese infiltrator harassment. In fact our old friend Eugene Sledge wrote about the night of September 25th and what his unit of K Company, 3rd battalion, 5th marines went through. The Japanese who had come across the road in front of me were probably members of what the enemy called a “close-quarter combat unit.” The enemy soldier shot by Sam was not dressed or equipped like their typical infantryman. Rather he wore only tropical khaki shorts, short-sleeved shirt, and tabi footwear (splittoed, rubber-soled canvas shoes). He carried only his bayonet. Why he entered our line where he did may have been pure accident, or he may have had an eye on our mortar. His comrade angled off toward the right near a machine gun on our flank. Mortars and machine guns were favorite targets for infiltrators on the front lines. To the rear, they went after heavy mortars, communications, and artillery. Before Company K moved out, I went down the road to the next company to see what had happened during the night. I learned that those blood-chilling screams had come from the Japanese I had seen run to the right. He had jumped into a foxhole where he met an alert Marine. In the ensuing struggle each had lost his weapon. The desperate Marine had jammed his forefinger into his enemy's eye socket and killed him. Such was the physical horror and brutish reality of war for us. The 1/5 spent the early hours of 26 September in consolidating its positions around the radio station and preparing for continuation of its attack later in the day to the northern tip of Peleliu. Shortly after 0600, 3/5 jumped off for an attack against Hill 80 with Company K on the left and Company I on the right. The attack carried the hill and by 0830 the assault force reached a swamp bordering the east coast of Peleliu. This advance of the 3d Battalion was of major importance because it effectively cut the island in two. Late in the afternoon most of the battalion moved back from Hill 80 to a reserve position near the junction of East and West Roads. The unit's southern flank extended south from the junction along East Road to Hill 80, where Company I was stationed for the night. Between Company I, 5th Marines, and the 2d Battalion, 321st Infantry, at Hill B, lay a gap approximately 1,800 yards long through which only the 321st Infantry's Neal Task Force had passed. In this gap lay 1,500-yard-long Kamilianlul Mountain, held by an unknown number of Japanese and as yet not even reconnoitered by American units. The 5th Marines consolidated their positions and resumed their assault. The 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, ran into stiff opposition from the Amiangal ridges dominating northern Peleliu. The northern portion of the L-shaped hill system consisted of ridges running generally from northeast to southwest for about 1,000 yards; the southern leg extended from northwest to southeast. The southern leg of the ridges was not continuous but broken into four separate hills or knobs, designated from northwest to southeast as Hill 1, Hill 2, Hill 3, and Radar Hill, so named because it had at one time served as an enemy radar installation. These four knobs were to gain ill repute as Hill Row. The entire Amiangal ridge system was held in strength by the Japanese, particularly the portion paralleling the route of advance of 1/5. This part contained some of the most elaborate caves and tunnels on Peleliu. The battalion had barely started out along the West Road when the enemy in and on Hill 1 opened up on the Marines with 37mm and 75mm guns as well as automatic weapons and mortars. This curtain of fire from the Amiangal ridges was reinforced by heavy fire from Ngesebus Island. All forward movement soon halted. Attacking eastward from the West Road, Company B assaulted the second knob, Hill 2, but also encountered opposition. Through sheer determination the company was able to gain a firm foothold on the hill by early afternoon. This accomplishment in effect served to outflank the Japanese on Hill 1, but Japanese resistance on the last mentioned hill continued throughout the day. An attempt by Company C to seize all of Hill 1 during the remaining hours of daylight was unsuccessful, and continuation of the assault had to await the following day. During the bitter fighting in which 1/5 engaged during the night of 25-26 September and for most of the following day, 2/5 remained stationary on the southern flank of the regiment. At 1600 on 26 September, when it had become apparent that 1/5 could make no further progress, 2/5 was ordered to attack. The battalion advanced northward through the left wing of 1/5, carefully bypassing embattled Hill 1. In the course of its advance, the battalion drew heavy fire from Japanese emplacements in the plain, from the ridges on its right, as well as from Ngesebus. Enemy mortars proved especially troublesome. As a result of the heavy fire, Company F lost four of its supporting tanks before it had advanced very far beyond Hill 1. Attempts by the artillery to give all possible support to the battalion were largely ineffectual. "We fired frequent missions throughout the day on these mortars; the reported effect was that the mortars were neutralized while we fired but that they were not destroyed. The enemy apparently withdrew into the caves during the period of our fire." As evening approached, the 5th Marines occupied a jagged front line. The 1st Battalion, though out of contact with the 2d, was tied in with the 3d on the right. The mission of the 3d Battalion was to support either the 1st or 2d Battalion in the event of a major Japanese counterattack. Further progress of the 2d Battalion was impeded by a large antitank ditch, which blocked the approach to the remnants of the Peleliu phosphate plant. The Japanese had converted the reinforced concrete foundation of the otherwise demolished structure into a major defensive installation. Exposed to the enemy fire from Ngesebus Island and plunging fire from caves and defensive positions from the hills, 2/5 found itself in a very unenviable situation. Further south, after some necessary adjustments, Dark's forces assaulted Hill B with two battalions. Initially repelled, Dark then sent a task force led by Captain George Neal to attack from the north. After a complex maneuver north and then south, the Neal Task Force attacked Hill B just as other elements of the 321st fought their way to the top through challenging terrain. The hill eventually fell to the Americans, completing the isolation of the Umurbrogol Pocket. By the end of the day, the island was divided in two places, leaving Nakagawa's determined defenders isolated in two major pockets. On September 27, with the Umurbrogol Pocket now contained, the 5th Marines continued their operations against Amiangal Mountain. At the same time, the 1st Battalion, 321st Regiment advanced north from the Hill B area to close the long gap along East Road up to Hill 80. Dark's infantrymen secured Kamilianlul Mountain with minimal resistance and then moved towards the Marines' road junction.  The 2d Battalion was to find progress extremely rough for the remainder of the day. First, the erstwhile phosphate plant, which the Japanese had turned into a blockhouse, had to be secured in an area that bristled with snipers. The problem confronting Colonel Harris was a formidable one. The blockhouse in front of 2/5 could not be taken until the antitank ditch blocking the approaches to it had been seized. This was a job that the infantry could not tackle without armored support. The regimental commander decided to utilize all arms available in reducing these obstacles. First of all, Colonel Harris called naval gunfire and artillery in on Ngesebus and any other targets suspected of harboring artillery or mortar positions. A medium tank, equipped with a bulldozer blade, was pressed into service to level the antitank ditch, and filled it by 0830. A LVT flamethrower then was able to come within effective range of the Japanese fortification. Moments later, when the flame and smoke had cleared, all resistance from this stronghold had ceased and more than 60 dead Japanese remained in the rubble. While this action was in progress, patrols from Company E seized a small, weakly defended ridge abutting the road from the east. The 2d Battalion thereafter resumed its advance northward along the road as well as over the adjacent ridge. Company F, at the head of the column, soon found itself embroiled in some of the most bitter and frustrating action of the entire campaign. Aside from receiving heavy Japanese artillery and mortar fire, the company faced a series of pillboxes and field fortifications on level ground, and layer upon layer of caves in the hillsides. Even though they were not aware of it at the time, the men of the 5th Marines had come upon the most skillfully constructed defenses on Peleliu. The Japanese Army had utilized all of the many natural caves possessing tactical value, adapting them for the emplacement of heavier weapons with great ingenuity. On the other hand, Japanese naval troops had preferred to construct their own caves with the help of the 214th Naval Construction Battalion, composed of men who had been professional miners and tunnel workers in civilian life. Since most of these Navy caves were located near the northern end of Peleliu, they proved a serious obstacle to the advance of the 5th Marines. Eugene Sledge faced these obstacles and saw firsthand the effectiveness of flamethrowers. Here is a passage from him: Burgin's order to us to continue firing into the opening interrupted my musings. We kept up a steady fire into the pillbox to keep the Japanese pinned down while the flamethrower came up, carried by Corporal Womack from Mississippi. He was a brave, good-natured guy and popular with the troops, but he was one of the fiercest-looking Marines I ever saw. He was big and husky with a fiery red beard well powdered with white coral dust. He reminded me of some wild Viking. I was glad we were on the same side. Stooped under the heavy tanks on his back, Womack approached the pillbox with his assistant just out of the line of our fire. When they got about fifteen yards from the target, we ceased firing. The assistant reached up and turned a valve on the flamethrower. Womack then aimed the nozzle at the opening made by the 75mm gun. He pressed the trigger. With a whoooooooosh the flame leaped at the opening. Some muffled screams, then all quiet. Even the stoic Japanese couldn't suppress the agony of death by fire and suffocation. But they were no more likely to surrender to us than we would have been to them had we ever been confronted with the possibility of surrender. In fighting the Japanese, surrender was not one of our options.  Sheer courage and heroism in themselves proved inadequate for the task. In the course of the morning of 27 September, Company F seized the two ridges forming the northwestern anchor of the Amiangal system and established observation posts on the crests. But this did not solve the problem of what to do about the Japanese occupying the caves about half way up the hill. Marine casualties mounted steadily, and evacuation of the wounded became more and more difficult. Since the cave openings completely dominated the road leading past the northernmost ridge of Peleliu, the advance of the entire 2d Battalion ground to a halt. The first tank attempting to squeeze through the narrow gap between the hill and the northwestern shore was hit, and the Marines occupying the crest of the hill were powerless to cope with the caves underneath. Although the Americans now controlled the northern shore and blocked further enemy reinforcements, skilled Japanese miners continued their resistance underground. What the Marines did not know was that they were facing the most comprehensive cave system on Peleliu which was the underground home of the Japanese naval construction units who were, luckily for the Marines, better miners than infantrymen. The Japanese Army had utilized all of the many natural caves possessing tactical value, adapting them for the emplacement of heavier weapons with great ingenuity. On the other hand, Japanese naval troops had preferred to construct their own caves with the help of the 214th Naval Construction Battalion, composed of men who had been professional miners and tunnel workers in civilian life. Since most of these Navy caves were located near the northern end of Peleliu, they proved a serious obstacle to the advance of the 5th Marines. In the end, it would take weeks for the Marines to finally quash all resistance on Akarakoro Point, then only by blasting closed all the tunnel entrances, sealing the Japanese defenders inside to their fate. To the south, Harris' 1st Battalion pressed on with their attack on the mountain's southern leg, successfully capturing Hill 1. Meanwhile, the 322nd Regiment resumed its assault on the Lake Salome bowl, fighting to secure the base of the north rim but encountering less resistance in the south as most Japanese defenders had been evacuated towards Romauldo. The following day, despite a successful enemy mortar barrage that initially forced a temporary withdrawal and reorganization, the Americans cleared the entire bowl floor of Japanese troops, isolating Goto's remaining forces in the Romauldo area. This progress enabled the 322nd to launch a final coordinated attack on October 1, with its three battalions trapping the enemy in the Romauldo Pocket, though they were unable to penetrate Goto's final defenses. On September 28 at Peleliu, while Dark's 1st Battalion engaged Japanese infiltrators while mopping up the Kamilianlul Mountain area, Harris' 1st and 2nd Battalions continued their assault on Amiangal and successfully captured Hill 3. This action isolated the remaining Japanese forces at Radar Hill. Meanwhile, the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines executed a successful landing on Ngesebus Island with minimal resistance after a comprehensive artillery, air, and naval bombardment.  The curtain on the drama of Ngesebus opened on the morning of September 28, when the massed fire of five artillery battalions from Peleliu, as well as heavy fire from warships and aircraft, blanketed the island. Near the northwestern shore of Peleliu, an impressive gathering of high-ranking officers had assembled to witness the operation. The group included such notables as Admiral Fort, and Generals Julian C. Smith, Geiger, Rupertus, Mueller, Oliver P. Smith, and Bell. The weather was cool and cloudy and interspersed with frequent rain squalls. For the Corsair pilots of VMF-114, air support for the Ngesebus landings represented a very interesting and original assignment. The operation marked the beginning of combat work for the squadron, which had reached Peleliu only two days earlier. At 06:30, the Corsairs hit the airstrip on Ngesebus with 500-pound bombs and strafed the entire island as well as Kongauru to the northeast. "Strafing runs were made just a few feet off the deck and a hail of lead laid all over the island." At 08:40, 20 Corsairs preceded the landing craft and gave the island another heavy strafing. In the course of this attack, Japanese mortar positions were spotted and one especially prominent square blockhouse with an iron door was fired on and neutralized. Whenever aircraft were not directly over the island, the artillery on Peleliu and naval guns offshore gave Ngesebus a heavy going over, starting at 07:00 and concluding at 09:05. Both quick and delay fuzes were used. Observers reported that the island was completely covered with fire. In the course of the preliminary bombardment, naval gunfire ships pounded the northern portion of Ngesebus and continued to fire on that part of the island throughout the landing. The Marines advanced inland, swiftly securing the airstrip and the eastern portion of Ngesebus. One platoon then landed on Kongauru and Murphy islands to secure them against light opposition. However, the attack to the northwest encountered strong resistance from Japanese forces entrenched in caves and dugouts, prompting the deployment of tanks to support the Marine assault. By 5:00 PM, nearly all of Ngesebus was under American control, with only a few hundred yards at the extreme northwestern tip remaining in Japanese hands and some caves on the ridges still needing to be cleared.  The 3d Battalion spent a relatively quiet night on Ngesebus. On the morning of 29 September, Companies I and K resumed the attack. Progress was normal until the two companies had nearly reached the northern tip of Ngesebus, when a 75mm gun opened up at point blank range. The Marines quickly destroyed this weapon and went on to overcome the rest of the resistance on the island. At 1500, 29 September, Ngesebus was declared secure. An hour later, 2/321 relieved the Marines and completed mopping up. Having accomplished the mission on the island, 3/5 returned to Peleliu. The battalion had secured the island at a cost of 15 killed and 33 wounded. In return, the Marines killed or captured 470 Japanese. Infantrymen of 2/321 were to account for another hundred of the enemy during the ensuing mop-up. Eugene Sledge wrote this about the final capture of Ngesebus: The next morning, again with the help of tanks and am-tracs, our battalion took most of the remainder of Ngesebus. Our casualties were remarkably low for the number of Japanese we killed.* In midafternoon we learned that an army unit would relieve us shortly and complete the job on the northern end of Ngesebus. Our mortar section halted to await orders and dispersed among some open bushes. In our midst was the wreckage of a Japanese heavy machine gun and the remains of the squad that had been wiped out by Company K. The squad members had been killed in the exact positions to be occupied by such a squad “according to the book.” At first glance the dead gunner appeared about to fire his deadly weapon. He still sat bolt upright in the proper firing position behind the breech of his machine gun. Even in death his eyes stared widely along the gun sights. Despite the vacant look of his dilated pupils, I couldn't believe he was dead. Cold chills ran along my spine. Gooseflesh tickled my back. It seemed as though he was looking through me into all eternity, that at any instant he would raise his hands—which rested in a relaxed manner on his thighs—grip the handles on the breech, and press the thumb trigger. The bright shiny brass slugs in the strip clip appeared as ready as the gunner, anxious to speed out, to kill, and to maim more of the “American devils.” But he would rot, and they would corrode. Neither he nor his ammo could do any more for the emperor.  The rest of the 5th Marines continued their operations on September 29, launching a full-scale assault on Radar Hill using flamethrowers, bazookas, and demolition charges, finally capturing the position by the morning of September 30. Following the completion of operations in northern Peleliu, the 5th Marines were relieved by the 321st Regiment. However, as the Army troops took over, the remaining Japanese, who had been hiding underground, reoccupied some positions, requiring two additional days of fighting to fully secure northern Peleliu. Nonetheless, the Japanese presence in Peleliu had now been reduced to Nakagawa's Umurbrogol Pocket, so Peleliu was officially secured. Total losses during this battle so far included 843 killed, 3845 wounded and 356 missing of the 1st Marine Division; 46 killed, 226 wounded and 7 missing from the 321st Regiment; and an estimated 9076 Japanese dead plus 180 prisoners of war. Yet that is all for today with Peleliu and Anguar as we now need to travel to China where the Japanese are still carrying out Operation Ichi-Go in an effort to capture Guilin and Liuzhou. As we last observed, General Yokoyama's 11th Army had taken control of Lingling Airdrome and Quanzhou by September 14. Following this, they reorganized their units in preparation for resuming their offensive in October. Meanwhile, the 34th Division was deployed towards Changning, and the 37th Division moved to capture Shaoyang, which fell by the end of the month. The 23rd Army also made final preparations for their offensive in early September. General Tanaka directed the Kawakami Raiding Unit in a wide flanking maneuver along the Zhukeng-Huaiji road towards Wuzhou, while the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade embarked on a long march north to Guiping. On September 13, the 22nd Independent Mixed Brigade and the 22nd and 104th Divisions began their main advance towards Wuzhou. However, the Kawakami Raiding Unit successfully captured Wuzhou on September 22 and seized the Danzhuzhen airfield six days later. Each unit then continued its advance westward to Guiping, which fell to the 23rd Brigade on October 11. So far, Tanaka's forces had encountered little to no resistance, but this was about to change. After the war, in discussing the performance of the Chinese divisions supposed to defend Guilin and Liuzhou, the political situation in east China, and the attitudes of the east China commanders, Marshal Hata remarked that in his opinion Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had kept their forces out of serious fighting in order to conserve them "for the future." At the time, there were rumors that these men were planning a coup against Chiang Kai-Shek. Chinese resistance was light, but with its supply situation improved the 14th Air Force again did its best on the Salween as well as in east China. In all September the force dropped 1897.6 tons of bombs and fired 1281382 rounds of machine-gun ammunition, some of the latter of course at aerial targets. In early September, Japanese fighter reinforcements from the homeland also entered combat. The Japanese were pleased at the performance of the latemodel fighters with one of the air regiments they sent to China. Thanks to the air cover thus supplied, for the first time in the east China campaign they found themselves able to move supplies regularly on the Xiang Jiang, which paralleled their line of advance, and so thought their prospects "brightened."  At the beginning of the month, Yokoyama renewed his offensive, with the 58th Division successfully taking Xing'An and the 34th Division capturing Changning. The 37th Division was then deployed to Dao, and the 34th Division was sent to Xing'An in preparation for the final push toward Guilin. On October 20, this attack commenced as Yokoyama directed the 216th Regiment to advance to Lehecun, the 58th Division to assault the area north of Guilin, the 40th Division to move to Gaoshangzhen, the 13th Division to advance to Quanhuicun, and the 3rd Division to push toward Fuchuan. With minimal resistance from the retreating Japanese forces, most of these movements were completed by the end of the month. The 3rd Division pushed further to Pingle, while the 37th Division occupied Gongchengzhen and Yanshan to approach Guilin from the south. On November 3, the 3rd Division captured Lipu and began preparations for the advance towards Liuzhen, encircling Guilin and opening the route to Liuzhen. Meanwhile, on October 22, Tanaka ordered the reinforced 23rd Brigade to continue its advance toward Guigang, with the 104th and 22nd Divisions pushing toward Wuxuan. Their progress, previously unopposed, was now challenged by the Chinese 46th and 64th Armies, which launched daily attacks against Guiping with substantial air support. As a result, the 22nd Division was redirected to counter the Chinese forces, successfully forcing their withdrawal by October 29. Following this victory, the 23rd Brigade captured Guigang on November 3, and the 104th Division seized Wuxuan the following day. This allowed Tanaka's forces to begin a northern pursuit to support Yokoyama's assaults on Guilin and Liuzhen. After the third Anshan strike, General LeMay began implementing reforms within the 20th Bomber Command. These changes included reorganizing the command, enhancing the logistics system, adjusting target priorities, and improving coordination with Pacific operations. As a result, the frequency of missions increased each month, with each mission becoming more substantial and effective. Concurrently, following the successful completion of the newly renamed Isley Field on Saipan, the 73rd Bombardment Wing was redirected to the Marianas instead of the CBI Theater. There, it would join Major-General Haywood Hansell's 21st Bomber Command, tasked with executing high-altitude, daylight precision attacks to cripple Japan's aircraft industry.  The XXI Bomber Command arrived on Saipan on October 12, 1944, and from the start General Hansell was beset by a host of serious command problems, the worst of which were continued teething problems with the B-29, tardy delivery of aircraft, aircrews untrained in high altitude formation flying, primitive airfield conditions, lack of an air service command for logistical support, no repair depots, a total absence of target intelligence, stubborn internal resistance to daylight operations by his sole combat wing, subordinates in the XXI Bomber Command who lobbied for his removal, and Hansell's inferiority in rank in dealing with other AAF commanders in the theater. Furthermore, Hansell was soon prohibited from flying combat missions with his command, possibly because of limited knowledge of the atomic bomb or the perception that he knew the existence of Ultra. As plans for a sustained bomber offensive against Honshu progressed, the strategic focus of Operation Matterhorn diminished. The 20th Bomber Command shifted to flying missions in direct support of other Pacific operations, with target priorities moving from coke ovens to the aircraft industry. In preparation for the upcoming invasion of the Philippines, the command was tasked with two closely spaced maximum missions against Okayama in Formosa, totaling 170 sorties, along with very-long-range reconnaissance missions. Yet now we have to travel over to the India-Burma theater. As the advance towards the Chindwin continued and the resilient 33rd Division finally crossed the river in late November, General Katamura was finalizing his plans for a withdrawal to the Mandalay sector, scheduled for December. This decision was driven by the intense pressure the British 36th Division was putting on General Takeda's defensive positions at Pinwe, forcing the defenders to prepare for a final retreat by the end of November. Meanwhile, General Slim was preparing for Operation Capital. He planned to stretch airpower to its limits to move four and two-thirds divisions across the Chindwin, along with two tank brigades. After establishing bridgeheads at Sittang, Mawlaik, and Kalewa, he intended to cross the Chindwin and confront General Kimura's forces between the Chindwin and the Irrawaddy. The 4th Corps, now under the experienced General Messervy, would break out from the Sittang bridgehead, advance east through the mountains, capture Pinlebu, and then approach the Shwebo plain from the north. Simultaneously, General Stopford's 33rd Corps would move from Kalewa, following the Chindwin southeast to Yeu and Monywa. Once the Japanese forces were pushed onto the open plain, Slim planned to exploit his overwhelming advantage in airpower and tanks to decisively defeat them, anticipating that the enemy would fiercely defend Mandalay. The combination of the defeats at Kohima, Imphal, Mogaung and Myitkyina meant that by the autumn of 1944, Kimura's role was reduced to defending southern Burma as the northern flank of their new ‘South-East Asia defense zone'. With few reinforcements or supplies to look forward to, Kimura had grim prospects. On paper he had ten divisions (2nd, 15th, 18th, 31st, 33rd, 49th, 53rd, 54th, 55th, & 56th), though this was really seven, since little remained of the three divisions that had been devastated at Kohima-Imphal. He also had the dubious support of Bose's INA and Aung San's seven-battalion Burma National Army, but the civilian population was increasingly going over to the side of the likely winners. Unexpectedly, Kimura received 30000 fresh troops in the period June–October, but his problem was more commissariat than raw numbers, since he was rapidly running out of supplies. Even those he had (45000 tons of food, 500 lorries and 2000 pack animals) were difficult to get to the front, and Kimura was painfully aware that the situation could only get worse. The South-East Asia zone was slowly being throttled by the Allied naval blockade, all approaches to Rangoon were mined, and in 1944 total Japanese shipping losses amounted to 2.3 million tons. Even those ships that ran the blockade would proceed no farther than Penang in Malaya. Kimura chose to deploy smaller units to delay the British-Indian forces while the main body of the 15th Army retreated across the Irrawaddy River. His strategy was to launch a counterattack once the British crossed the river, aiming to replicate a reverse Imphal by wearing down the British-Indian forces through attrition and then destroying them during their retreat in the May 1945 monsoon. Meanwhile, Admiral Mountbatten was also seeking a victory of his own. On November 8, he ordered an assault on Japanese positions in Arakan, with a deadline set for the end of January. This operation was assigned to General Christison's 15th Corps.  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

The fighting on Peleliu and Angaur raged asAmerican forces struggled against resilient Japanese defenses. Significant advances were made, including the isolation of the Umurbrogol Pocket and the capture of Ngesebus Island. Despite heavy casualties, Peleliu was eventually secured, leaving a small pocket of Japanese resistance.

For the past 10 months, Lizzy Banks has been fighting to clear her name after an anti-doping test taken in May 2023 returned an adverse analytical finding for two substances. She was informed of the test result 79 days later. The two substances were formoterol, a medication she'd been using within the permitted level to treat asthma. The second, chlortalidone, was a diuretic she had never heard of. Unless she could prove contamination the twice Giro stage winner faced a two-year suspension. Her investigation cost her career, her life savings and took a huge emotional toll on her and her family. When she could no longer afford full legal support, she investigated the case herself. Her medical training helped and the case she compiled led the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) to drop a scheduled tribunal and return a verdict of no fault, no negligence and no suspension. Nevertheless, the rules state she has four anti-doping rule violations against her name, her career as a pro cyclist is over, and her reputation is harmed. Lizzy has worked for The Cycling Podcast and so in the interests of transparency we asked Tom Cary, senior sports correspondent of The Telegraph, to conduct this independent interview. The episode is introduced by Rose Manley. A warning, this podcast does contain references to suicide and suicidal thoughts. A few abbreviations will come up, so just to give some clarity: • WADA is the World Anti-Doping Agency • UKAD is the UK Anti-Doping Agency, which is responsible for making sure that British athletes comply with the WADA code • CAS is the Court of Arbitration for Sport, an independent institution involved in resolving legal disputes in the field of sport • AAF is an Adverse Analytical Finding - commonly known as a positive doping test • MRL stands for Minimum Reporting Limit. The concentration below which a substance will not trigger a positive test • ADRV stands for Anti-Doping Rules Violation Reference is also made to the cases of Shari Bossuyt and Toon Aerts. Both riders were given two year suspensions for testing positive for letrozole, which both claim is the result of food contamination.
