Podcasts about Agnew

Spiro Theodore Agnew, the 39th vice president of the United States, was born on November 9, 1918, in Baltimore, Maryland. His name, though Americanized, hints at his family's rich ethnic heritage—Greek and German, two cultures steeped in tradition and history. Before his rise to national prominence and eventual disgrace, Agnew's story began generations earlier in the Mediterranean hills of southern Greece and the Protestant communities of colonial-era Virginia and Pennsylvania...

Private First Class John Agnew served in World War II as a Paratrooper and Pathfinder. Pathfinders were paratroopers that dropped into enemy territory first, tasked with setting up signals that would direct the rest of the paratrooper fleet into the correct landing zones. Since they were often the first soldiers sent across enemy lines, this was an incredibly dangerous job. As a Pathfinder Pilot, it was Pedone's job to fly the Pathfinders into enemy territory. Agnew parachuted into Normandy on D-Day as a member of the Filthy Thirteen, a paratrooper demolition squad that became notorious for their insubordination and their signature look, that included Native American style warpaint and mohawks. They later inspired the movie The Dirty Dozen. Out of 20 men, Agnew was one of four from his unit that survived D-Day. Agnew, along with half of the surviving members of the Filthy Thirteen, joined the Pathfinders. He fought in the Siege of Bastogne, the Rhine River Crossings, and Operation Market Garden with the Pathfinders. He later also served in Vietnam. In this interview, Agnew describes the Siege of Bastogne and The Filthy Thirteen.  Learn more about Agnew here.

Mining Engineer, Reality TV star, Astrophysicist, Author - What's left  for Dr Matt?

Here's Osher's three favourite facts about Dr Matt Agnew: He's not that kind of doctor. He's lovely. He has a PhD in Astrophysics. Matt has been busy, heading back to uni to study AI - and on the back of that he's written a new book “IS MY PHONE READING MY MIND?” What he has to say today about AI, about the powerfully transformative effect it is already having on education, and democracy - in both positive and negative ways - might just chill you to the bone and give you goosebumps at the same time. This was recorded a week out from the 2024 US election, so please understand why I'm Osher isn't commenting on something which is now glaringly obvious to us as a community. He's in the past. It's simple time travel. And there's no better person to speak to about that than Dr Matt Agnew. Enjoy the show. Subscribe to the substack here Hosted on Acast.

Fitter, Happier: The Eugenic Strain in Twentieth-Century Cancer Rhetoric (U Alabama Press, 2024) is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between cancer rhetoric, American ideals, and eugenic influences in the twentieth century. This groundbreaking work delves into the paradoxical interplay between acknowledging the genuine threat of cancer and the ingrained American ethos of confidence and control. Agnew's meticulous research traces the topic's historical context, unveiling how cancer discourses evolved from a hushed personal concern to a public issue thanks to the rise of cancer research centers and advocacy organizations. However, she unearths a troubling dimension to these discussions--subtle yet persistent eugenic ideologies that taint cancer arguments and advocacy groups. By dissecting prevailing cancer narratives, Agnew brings into focus how ideals rooted in eliminating imperfections and embracing progress converge with concerns for safeguarding societal fitness. Fitter, Happier scrutinizes the military origins and metaphors that permeate government policies and medical research, the transformation of cancer's association with melancholy into a rallying cry for a positive outlook, and the nuanced implications of prevention-focused dialogues. Reflecting on the varied experiences of actual cancer patients, Agnew resists the neat assimilation of these stories into a eugenic framework. Agnew's insights prompt readers to contemplate the societal meanings of disease and disability as well as how language constructs our shared reality. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the newest episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, our host Connor Agnew sits down to discuss Self-Determination Theory (SDT). During the episode Connor discusses what SDT is, how it can be applied to athletes, and how to.

In this episode of my Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I interviewed the fit and fabulous, Sheila Agnew McCoy. During the interview, Sheila shared her inspiring journey as a 73-year-old fitness advocate, personal trainer, influencer, author, and speaker. She discussed her passion for helping seniors and women improve their health and quality of life through fitness, strength training, and corrective exercise. Here are the key takeaways from your conversation: 1. Starting Her Fitness Journey Later in Life Sheila revealed that she only began focusing on fitness as an adult, inspired by a desire to stay active and healthy. Her commitment to fitness has spanned over 19 years, during which she realized the lack of specialized training for older adults and women. This gap motivated her to become a certified personal trainer focusing on senior and women's fitness. 2. Challenges for Seniors and Women in Fitness Sheila emphasized the specific challenges seniors face in starting their fitness journeys, such as physical limitations, muscle loss, and fear of injury. She highlighted the importance of starting small, staying consistent, and focusing on overall wellness, not just aesthetics. Her philosophy of "start, stick, and stay" encourages consistency for lasting results. 3. Corrective Exercise and Strength Training Sheila explained how corrective exercise helps seniors and those recovering from injuries regain balance, mobility, and strength. She emphasized the importance of strength training in combating muscle and bone loss, especially for women over 40, to maintain independence and improve quality of life. 4. Mind, Body, and Soul Approach Sheila believes in a holistic wellness approach, integrating the mind, body, and soul. She encourages people to focus on total wellness rather than just one aspect, advocating for a balanced life that includes mental and spiritual well-being. 5. Nutrition and Lifestyle Sheila follows a simple and balanced nutrition plan, prioritizing fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. She advises seniors to focus on nutrient-dense meals rather than large portions and emphasizes the importance of good nutrition for longevity and quality of life.   6. Faith and Community As the health and fitness ministry leader at her church, Sheila integrates faith into her fitness philosophy, believing that spiritual health is the foundation for physical health. She has created a supportive Facebook community, Lifestyle Fitness for Active Adults, to inspire and motivate others on their fitness journeys. 7. Breaking Age Stereotypes Sheila challenges societal stereotypes about aging, encouraging older adults to push past limitations and remain active. She advocates for "age positivity" and believes that fitness can transform not just the body but also improve mental and emotional well-being. 8. A Life of Learning and Adaptation Sheila shared how she continually evolves by learning new skills, such as becoming a personal trainer and pursuing acting and modeling later in life. She emphasized the importance of transferring life experiences and skills into new endeavors, showing that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Through her empowering message, Sheila inspires people of all ages to take control of their health, start moving, and focus on living a fulfilling life at any age. This was a very inspiring interview with Fitness influencer, Sheila Agnew McCoy.

Scott was disappointed there was nobody waiting for him when he died. In this episode he ponders whether someone was in fact watching over him and tells the most unbelievable funeral story of all time. With an unexpected apology from his mum, a trip to get measured for a suit and rolling down a hill chased by a bunch of OAPs - this is an episode packed with anecdotes and revelations.The final episode in a trilogy of tales that gets into the gritty and grim goings on that nearly saw Scott pushing up the daisies. Each episode is far from a forlorn fable, but rather is bursting with colourful, lively stories of the people who have shaped Scott's life and helped him along the way. This is more than just a life story, this is Scott's death story.A stand up series, written and performed by Scott Agnew Produced by Lauren Mackay Audio recorded by Chris Currie and Niall Young
