James takes Alasdair on a whistle-stop tour of Britain's mobile stones, as catalogued in Janet and Colin Bord's The Secret Country. These standing stones were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. Except when they're spinning around on the spot. Or not moving at all. Plus, we answer the questions no other podcast would dare ask: Do stones grow? (No) Should you go in a Piper's Hole? (No) Do stones respect / understand Daylight Savings?

In 2022, Gustavo Petro became the first left-wing candidate to win the Colombian presidential election. During his election campaign, Petro pledged to end the granting of new oil and gas exploration contracts, a commitment his government has so far succeeded in maintaining. This week, Alasdair speaks with third-year doctoral student Guy Edwards who has interviewed over 50 people - from former government ministers to academics and industry representatives - about the impact of Petro's pledge on Colombia's energy transition.  Guy and Alasdair discuss what the pledge entails, how it was received by the fossil fuel industry and right-wing media and what will likely become of it following fresh presidential elections next year.    Guy Edwards is a PhD candidate in International Relations at the University of Sussex and a member of the Working Group on Natural Resources, Energy and Climate Obstruction in the Global South of the Climate Social Science Network Further reading: Commentary: The Petro government's big gamble on ending fossil fuel licensing, University of Sussex, 2025 Climate obstruction in the Global South: Future research trajectories, PLOS Climate Journals, 2023 Supply-side climate policy: A new frontier in climate governance, WIREs Climate Change, 2024  El dilema de Colombia y el mundo: salir de la era fósil o sufrir sus impactos devastadores, Elespectador, 2023 Retrasar la transición energética podría costarle a Colombia 88.000 millones de dólares,  Elespectador, 2023 Click here for our website to read all our most recent Land and Climate Review features and pieces.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back gold market and finance expert Alasdair Macleod. Together they explore the escalating systemic risks in global gold and silver markets, driven by surging demand for physical delivery. Macleod highlighted the European Central Bank's (ECB) warning about skyrocketing counterparty risks in gold derivatives, emphasizing that COMEX delivery demands have reached unprecedented levels, with an annualized rate of 1,500 tons—far exceeding post-pandemic trends. This surge reflects a growing scramble for physical metal which is exacerbated by delays in delivery fulfillment. Bullion banks, fearing tariffs and supply shortages, inflated futures prices to create arbitrage opportunities, further straining markets. Macleod underscored a critical shift: central banks, once willing to lease gold to stabilize markets, now hesitate to renew leases, fearing irreversible loss of reserves. This trend, compounded by COMEX silver shortages, signals deepening liquidity crises. Demand is driven by sovereign wealth funds, Asian families, and Middle Eastern entities diversifying from the dollar amid geopolitical tensions and long-term currency devaluation fears. The discussion pivoted to the U.S. debt trap, with deficits exceeding 6% of GDP and tepid demand for long-term Treasuries. Macleod compared today's credit bubble and protectionist tariffs to the 1929 crash, warning of a potential debt deflation spiral. He noted China's strategic accumulation of gold and silver, possibly prepping the yuan for gold backing, while avoiding abrupt moves to destabilize Western economies. Amid these risks, Macleod stressed wealth preservation over accumulation, advocating physical gold as a hedge. He cautioned that markets underestimate the looming convergence of fiscal instability, currency crises, and geopolitical shifts, urging vigilance as structural economic fractures deepen. The episode closed with a stark reminder: today's calm belies a gathering storm, mirroring historical precedents where credit excesses and policy missteps fueled systemic collapse.

He is an educator and advocates for sound money thru demystifying finance and economics. His background includes being a stockbroker, banker, and economist. Alasdair started his career as a stockbroker in 1970 on the London Stock Exchange. Within nine years, he had risen to become senior partner of his firm. Subsequently, he held positions at the director level in investment management and worked as a mutual fund manager. Mr. Macleod also worked at a bank in Guernsey as an executive director. For most of his 40 years in the finance industry, he has been demystifying macro-economic events for his investing clients. The accumulation of this experience has convinced him that unsound monetary policies are the most destructive weapon governments use against the common man. Accordingly, his mission is to educate and inform the public in layman's terms what governments do with money and how to protect themselves from the consequences.

Germany's 2025 federal election saw the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) double its support to 20.8%, becoming the second largest party, while the Green Party fell from 14.8% to 11.6%. The AfD denies climate science and opposes environmental policies on economic grounds. This week, Alasdair interviews academic Felix Schulz, whose recent research has examined public attitudes toward climate policy across six countries - three in the global north and three in the global south.  The research found that core values – particularly those derived from neoliberalism and free-market ideology – are more effective than socioeconomic factors in indicating how people will respond to climate policies.  Felix and Alasdair discuss how neoliberal thinking has shaped public opinion, why climate policy must integrate social and economic considerations, and how job security concerns in industrial roles affect political support for climate action. Felix Schulz is a postdoctoral research fellow at Lund University researching public opinion and climate policy.  Further reading:  Why focusing on “climate change denial” is counterproductive, 2023,  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences People with neoliberal views are less likely to support climate-friendly policies, 2025, The Conversation Public support for climate policies and its ideological predictors across countries of the Global North and Global South, 2025, Ecological Economics Navigating sustainable futures: The role of terminal and instrumental values, 2024, Ecological Economics German elections: why most political parties aren't talking about the climate crisis, 2025,   The Conversation Click here for our website to read all our most recent Land and Climate Review features and pieces.

A UK government agency recently announced it would spend £57 million on a controversial project to develop geoengineering technologies.   The Exploring Climate Cooling Programme will fund 21 international research teams to conduct small-scale, controlled outdoor experiments to thicken Arctic sea ice and brighten clouds, to prevent global warming from increasing past irreversible tipping points. Geoengineering has long been a point of contention amongst scientists, environmental academics and conspiracy theorists - each firm in their beliefs about whether such interventions are necessary, effective, or risk irreversibly damaging the planet. Alasdair speaks with two academics studying geoengineering - Albert Van Wijngaarden and Adrian Hindes - who call for nuanced understanding and more productive conversation between the advocates and opposers of such radical interventions. They discuss the history of polar and solar geoengineering, the risks involved, and the lack of global governance. If you enjoyed this episode, stay tuned - we plan to explore geoengineering in more detail in the future. Further reading:  Plans to cool the Earth by blocking sunlight are gaining momentum but critical voices risk being excluded, October 2024, Albert Van Wijngaarden and Adrian Hindes Do-or-Die: Should we be talking about geoengineering?, December 2022, Land and Climate Review Soviet and Russian perspectives on geoengineering and climate management - Oldfield, J.

Alasdair is back to join Vittorio to review the match, discuss where Marco Baroni is getting things wrong and consider the Champions League race Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was crushing defeat in the Coppa Italia this week for Internazionale, and to next-door neighbors A.C. Milan no less. With that semifinal exit, the treble that Inter were loudly pursuing this season has evaporated. Now there are merely two competitions they're in a good position to win: the Champions League — if they can get past Barcelona in the semifinal — and Serie A.The latter is where they'll meet Roma this weekend for another highly difficult encounter, even at the San Siro. The visitors have not lost a league match since December, an incredible turnaround from a frankly disastrous opening period of the season, and they've zipped up the table to compete for a Champions League place. At the heart of it all is Claudio Ranieri, the 73-year-old Roman who came out of retirement to manage his hometown club for one final chapter (maybe) of a lifelong football romance.Here to get into all that ahead of kickoff is Alasdair Mackenzie, Rome-based writer for TNT Sports, Destination Calcio, Total Italian Football and more.If you're enjoying the show, please leave us a rating and review! It will help spread the good word.And as always, for kickoff times and storylines on all the other matches worth your time this weekend, check TheFootballWeekend.com. Hosted on Acast.

As silver approaches a critical price point, two old friends explain how major market players may soon lose their grip, opening the door for a sharp rise in silver and a fresh wave of interest in precious metals, unwinding decades of price control.Check out Alasdair: https://alasdairmacleod.substack.com/_______________________________________________________________Timestamps: 00:00 Start02:20 Andrew introduces Alasdair Macleod03:55 Silver breaks out as warehouse stocks reach critical lows10:55 EFP values distorted; China continues strategic silver stockpiling18:50 Major Asian buyers quietly acquiring precious metals by the billion27:25 Echoes of the 1970s: Historic parallels in gold accumulation32:25 BRICS currency risks and the rise of an East Asian supergroup37:05 What the whales and central banks are really doing behind the scenes43:30 How central bank leasing and double-counting threaten a crisis47:15 The Fed's covert borrowing of gold from the BIS51:40 Alasdair's journey: Decades of decoding precious metals market behaviour_______________________________________________________________Ask your questions for Andy here: https://forum.kinesis.money/forums/qu...

Alasdair Macleod believes the largest credit bubble in history may have reached its breaking point, as Trump's tariff barrage sends markets plummeting. Gold, and especially silver, cannot escape the carnage in the short term, but how does Alasdair expect both metals to hold up if we enter into full-on bear market territory?Subscribe to the TRENDS Journal: https://trendsjournal.com/subscribe (Use coupon code COMMODITY for 10% off)MacleodFinance Substack: https://alasdairmacleod.substack.comFollow Alasdair on X: https://x.com/MacleodFinanceFollow Jesse Day on X: https://x.com/jessebdayCommodity Culture on Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/CommodityCulture

Hello there gorgeous! This is only a sneak preview, a little bare ankle we're showing you. Get the full episode here, along with all other bonus episodes, discords, and cutting room material right very here on our Patreon for 5 pounds a month!  The weekly labour hate enjoyers are in for a treat with a double helping this week! Also we discuss group chat etiquette (it's rude to plan military action in one when it might make a present journalist feel uncomfy) and set the commentariat upon itself with a head to head battle of "who wrote the worst article".

Vittorio and Alasdair review another frustrating night for Lazio after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Torino. What has gone wrong with this team and how can Marco Baroni try and turn the form around?

Lazio were thrashed 5-0 after an embarrassing performance against Bologna. Vittorio and Alasdair ask what went wrong, consider how much blame Marco Baroni should get, and explain why this international break couldn't come at a better time.

Lazio made it into the Europa League quarter-finals for just the third time after a very nervous 1-1 draw against Viktoria Plzen. Vittorio and Alasdair review the game, discuss the return of Taty and look ahead to Sunday's crucial clash with Bologna

Lazio were held to a 1-1 draw by Udinese on Sunday and Vittorio and Alasdair are on hand to review the game. We discuss the striker crisis, Dia's dip in form, and debate whether the Europa League or Serie A is more important this season ahead of a huge month of games.

What a game! Lazio earned ANOTHER last-second 2-1 win away from home, beating Viktoria Plzen with nine men thanks to a Gustav Isaksen screamer in the final minute. Alasdair and Vittorio review the game and look ahead to a difficult challenge against Udinese.

Now this is a story all about how Donald Omand's life got flipped turned upside down when he encountered a Chinese idol possessed by a murderous spirit. Alasdair introduces James to the so-called ‘Circus Priest', a Scottish exorcist who fought the forces of evil everywhere from the Bermuda Triangle to a hotel room in Edinburgh. That is, if Dr Omand's own account of the events is to be believed...  If anything, we could say that this guy was rare.

This is not a drill - Lazio won away in Milan! Vittorio and Alasdair celebrate a victory that the club has only achieved three times in more than 30 years after a crazy game at San Siro. We also look ahead to Thursday's big Europa League clash with Viktoria Plzen.

Listener beware! Loremen is not a financial advice podcast, BUT if you are offered untold riches by an aged ghost who departs with a devilish laugh — that's probably a bad sign. James tells Alasdair a real chiller from Cornwall for our 250th episode!

On our second installment of Carbon Frontiers 2025, we welcome Alasdair Were, Head of Environmental Markets at Abaxx Exchange, back into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. David Greely sits down with Alasdair to discuss how recent dramatic policy changes and hard economic realities are influencing both corporate and government approaches to the energy transition, what it means for the carbon and environmental markets, and some of the potential paths forward.

Alasdair introduces James to the inverted ghost of Lady Elizabeth Hoby. Prepare your ears for the tragic tale of Lady Hoby's (imaginary) son William. Are the legends true? Was the mistress of Bisham Abbey cursed by a Benedictine monk? Was Lady Hoby... a murderer? As usual, the answer is "probably not". But that won't stop the Loreboys. And if anyone invites you to Bisham Abbey, take care that you don't fall foul of the curse of the black monk! Thunderclap!
