Pod Cast Boys celebrate their 40th episode by diving into 40 summers of Pet Shop Boys' fandom - from bedroom mixtapes and sunlounger listening, to festivals, raves, summer jobs and water‑parks. They revisit the summers that shaped them: 1986 camping trips spent listening to Opportunities, Algarve holidays soundtracked by It's Alright, plastics‑factory glue fumes mixed with Can You Forgive Her?, Manchester Paninaro promo‑hunting, and the thrill of hearing PSB's 90s Radio 1 residencies with Sasha, Frankie Knuckles and 808 State. Plus they bring us bang up to date with Dreamworld tales from Lytham and Paris. There's a forensic look at Pet Shop Boys' own summer adventures too: the Miami heat of Domino Dancing, the 1989 tour and its legendary Bingobangobongo party, Chris's love of rave culture and sunglasses, and the pure sunshine of Se A Vida É - with Bruce Weber's Wet ‘n Wild Florida video, Rupert Brooke's poetry and Mark Farrow's brightest sleeve. From Somewhere at the Savoy to Nightlife at Creamfields, from total eclipses to total reinventions, get ready for a nostalgic, funny, affectionate journey through the summers that made Pet Shop Boys - and the summers that made Graham and Chris.   Want to show your love for the Pet Shop Boys In Depth podcast?  Visit our new Crowdfunder - anything appreciated!

On the evening of Thursday the 3rd of May 2007, a British couple on holiday in the resort of Praia da Luz on Portugal's Algarve coast finished dinner with friends at a tapas restaurant, roughly 50 metres from the ground-floor apartment where their three children were sleeping. Kate and Gerry McCann had, over the course of the evening, taken turns checking on the children at approximately half-hour intervals. Their eldest daughter, three-year-old Madeleine, was in the front bedroom with her two-year-old twin siblings. At approximately 10:00 pm, Kate McCann returned to Apartment 5A of the Ocean Club resort for her turn to check. She walked through the unlocked patio door. She looked into the children's bedroom. The twins were still asleep. Madeleine's bed was empty. The window in the room was open. Nineteen years later, Madeleine McCann has never been found. Portuguese police initially treated the case as an abduction, then as a homicide, then closed it, then reopened it. Kate and Gerry McCann were themselves named as formal suspects, then cleared. Multiple men have been investigated over the years, including a German convicted paedophile named Christian Brueckner, who remains the primary suspect of German prosecutors. The case has generated more media coverage than any missing child case in modern European history. The story of the little girl who vanished from Apartment 5A, of the parents whose lives were destroyed by the search for her, and of a mystery that, at the time of this recording, has still never been solved.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

DOUBT: The Madeleine McCann Mystery :Nick van der Leek & Lisa WilsonDid the little girl at the centre of the most heavily reported missing-persons case in modern history ever go “missing” to begin with?If Madeleine was never abducted, if she died on May 3rd, why was it reported as an abduction?Despite the absence of a trial, what we have now is a fairly precise version of events from the McCanns themselves, a by-product of their relentless PR. We also know the original lead investigator, Goncalo Amaral's, counter-narrative, now a legally defensible matter of public record.The questions that arise from these opposing narratives are dead simple:Which narrative is more credible?Which narrator is more credible?What was the motive behind all the publicity? Neither Madeleine nor her abductor ultimately benefited from the ongoing media barrage, so who did?True crime maestro, Nick van der Leek, plumbs quagmires of confusion and a thicket of thorny inconsistencies to probe what lies beneath: the psychologies. What is the significance of "doctors" as suspects? Did it matter or mean anything that the McCanns and their cabal of friends in the Algarve were mostly doctors?Peeling away the gossamer threads, over the course of just four days [April 29th – May 2nd], van der Leek intuits that very little was routine: not the weather, not where meals were eaten, not where or when they slept and not what they did as a family. But what were their routines when it came to other, murkier things, like sleeping patterns, cell phones and sedatives?Drawing intangibles out of the darkness, van der Leek sews the vexing loose ends from several conflicting stories into a definite - if not definitive - end-result.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Well. We are officially eating our words, y'all.We said for years we were not going to buy a car. That being car-less was pretty cool. (It is.)That walking everywhere was such a nice change. (It was.)That Ubers were so affordable. (They are.)And we didn't buy one. For 2.5 years in Portugal we used public transportation - the metro, the train system, Ubers, sometimes even a bus!But after our first year in the Algarve (where the metro doesn't exist and the trains do exist but are limited), we realized that we had not even done a “drive-by” of all of the southern coast, much less fully explored all the amazing places down here near us. ➡️And when we realized that our travels and adventures were being limited by not having our own car, we changed our minds.So, we bought a car.And we love her!

Portugal is a fascinating country, but there is so much more to discover beyond Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve.In this episode, I'm joined by Portugal travel expert Julie Fox of Julie Dawn Fox in Portugal, who has called Portugal home for nearly 20 years. Julie shares how she ended up moving from the UK to Portugal, why the country immediately felt like home, and what has kept her there ever since.Together we explore some of Portugal's lesser-known destination — from charming riverside towns and medieval villages to beautiful natural areas filled with walking trails and stunning scenery. Along the way, Julie introduces us to places such as Ponte de Lima, Buçaco National Forest, Marvão, Alcobaça, Monchique, Penha Garcia, and several coastal communities that offer a quieter and more authentic experience of Portugal.We also discuss Portugal's only national park — Peneda-Gerês National Park, scenic hiking trails (Julie is a keen hiker), and practical tips for travelers who want to venture beyond the country's biggest cities. Julie shares advice on the best time to visit, whether a rental car is worth it, and how to make the most of Portugal's incredible mix of history, culture, nature, and outdoor adventure.If you enjoy slower travel, spending time outdoors, discovering charming small towns, and getting beyond the usual stops, this episode will inspire you to explore a different side of fascinating Portugal.Want to chat more about Portugal?Send me an email at Lynne@WanderYourWay.com.In this episode:1:32: Introducing Julie Fox4:24: Julie's travel story10:21: Lisbon & Porto16:27: North Portugal: Ponte de Lima20:09: Peneda-Gerês National Park23:45: Central Portugal: Buçaco National Forest28:36: Eastern Border: Penha Garcia32:39: Central: Alcobaça38:09: Moving South: Alentejo Region49:10: Algarve Region: Monchique & Alvor57:12: Additional hiking1:02:21: Travel tips plus a few more spots1:13:13: Wrapping it upImportant links:Julie Dawn Fox in PortugalVisit PortugalWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesVuori ★ Support this podcast ★

What if the practice isn't about becoming better at yoga — but about seeing more clearly who you are? In this rich and contemplative conversation, Harmony sits down with Ricardo Louro and Inês Brilhante — founders of Ashtanga House Faro in Portugal's stunning Algarve region — to explore how studying Vedanta philosophy in the lineage of Swami Dayananda Saraswati has completely transformed their relationship with Ashtanga yoga practice.

"When people meet you and they can see that you're comfortable moving through all the different parts of your personality — that's actually when you're a really impressive person." ~ Richard BrookIn this conversation, Avi sits down with Richard Brook — wellness facilitator, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of Understanding Human Nature: A User's Guide to Life — for a deep and honest exploration of what it means to truly thrive.Richard shares his personal journey from burnout and chronic fatigue in his early 20s to building a life rooted in passion and purpose. We talk about the difference between surviving and thriving, how to get to know yourself through embodied practice, why identity can be our biggest barrier to inner stillness, and the importance of embracing all parts of who we are — not just the "spiritual" ones. We also get into the retreat center Richard and his colleagues recently acquired in the Algarve, Portugal — a dream a decade in the making.--Since 2014, Richard has facilitated at the Moinhos Velhos retreat, combining his expertise in 5 Elements Acupuncture and Dru Yoga. As the founder of Creative Wellness and author of the acclaimed Understanding Human Nature, he provides tailored treatments and corporate wellness programs across London.Richard's holistic approach addresses the physical and emotional "imprints" of stress to restore balance. Drawing on diverse experience—from the Findhorn Foundation to 5 Rhythms Dance—he empowers clients to harmonize their health, relationships, and careers to lead more nourished, vibrant lives.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction0:09 - What matters to Richard: passion, joy & destiny0:53 - Is passion something you're born with or cultivate?1:53 - Richard's background & how he came to wellness3:23 - Chronic fatigue as a turning point4:28 - The direction of your life matters more than the destination5:49 - Surviving vs. thriving — and what's missing for most people6:31 - Finding your "golden keys" — what lights you up7:40 - Individual destiny and the limits of education8:40 - When others feel threatened by your growth9:47 - Life ebbs and flows — staying calibrated10:55 - Getting to know yourself: practices and barriers11:24 - Meditation, yoga & accessing deeper creative thought13:28 - Identity as an inner barrier to stillness15:37 - Embracing all parts of yourself — not just the spiritual ones17:33 - The Native American dance chief story18:32 - Everything in nature has a purpose19:23 - Moving away from hierarchy and judgment20:41 - Why we're conditioned to rank everything22:49 - Change starts with the individual23:48 - Community, focalizers & the Findhorn Foundation25:15 - Living in awe and wonder26:42 - Moving up and down the inner ladder27:52 - How quickly consciousness shifts moment to moment29:08 - Meditation, the body & sensation31:33 - Deep relaxation expands awareness33:32 - Richard's book: Understanding Human Nature35:14 - Writing 40,000 words in seven weeks37:20 - What happens when a creative idea finally gets out40:05 - Internal speed, overstimulation & slowing down44:36 - Moinhos Velhos retreat center — a dream come true49:15 - Where to find RichardConnect with Richard:Website: www.richardbrook.worldLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-brook/Instagram: www.instagram.com/richard.brook Hosted on Acast.

Brian Dean is the founder of Backlinko and Exploding Topics, both acquired by Semrush, which itself was recently acquired by Adobe for $1.9 billion. Brian's story starts exactly where a lot of great stories start: broke, directionless, and eating canned beef stew in his dad's basement during the 2008 financial crisis. He picked up a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek and took action. As is nearly always the case, his path wasn't a straight line, but a series of winding turns, all fed by experiments. His journey includes failures, two successful exits, and a hard-won answer to the question most people never think to ask: what do you actually do with your freedom once you have it?This episode is brought to you by:Incogni, which automatically removes your personal data from the web, helping shield you from fraud, scams, and identity theft: https://incogni.com/tim (use code TIM at checkout and get 60% off an annual plan)Fin powerful AI Agent for all your customer service: Fin.Ai/TimTimestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:53] From PhD pipettes to Dad's basement to Jerry Springer.[00:04:38] The 4-Hour Workweek finds its dream reader — marginal notes and all.[00:06:04] First product flops, free traffic beckons, and SEO.[00:07:40] The 200-domain AdSense empire.[00:09:40] Dreamlining: From “escape the basement” to “3k a month in Thailand.”[00:11:27] When Google's Panda update slapped the internet (and Brian's empire).[00:12:32] Scared straight: Black hat to white hat via a hostel in Spain.[00:17:55] Backlinko is born.[00:19:50] The 200 ranking factors post: 25 hours of patent-digging, a million visitors.[00:22:13] New rule: One post a month, 10x better than anything out there.[00:23:02] Semrush comes knocking to buy his company — Brian ignores the email.[00:24:02] Taking celebratory shots at Legal Sea Foods while wondering where the contract is.[00:25:32] Due diligence hell: Hunting down ghosted freelancers and the contractor commandments.[00:29:25] SEC market-close rules vs. Brian's 10 p.m. bedtime.[00:30:16] Post-acquisition: Hopping from one treadmill to the next.[00:34:19] Backlinko on autopilot, boredom on full blast, and the chapter everyone skips.[00:35:42] Exploding Topics: The paid newsletter mistake vs. the obvious SaaS play.[00:38:41] Data-driven content and the ChatGPT user stats flywheel.[00:41:00] Noah Kagan's advice: Double down on what works — then 10x down.[00:42:26] Ready, Fire, Aim — the litmus test for would-be founders.[00:44:06] Startup costs: $500 for Backlinko vs. $90k to acquire Exploding Topics.[00:47:29] How love and a Craigslist apartment scam in Berlin landed Brian in Portugal.[00:48:48] Geoarbitrage still works — just don't trust the 2007 pricing.[00:50:20] Post-exit stress: Oura Ring at 2x baseline and the Algarve hard reset.[00:52:21] Why founders who launch within a year of selling usually regret it.[00:53:30] Tennis as the ultimate void-filler: Fun, fitness, community, and fresh air in one sport.[00:54:31] The paradox of choice after exit: Structure, identity, and vertigo.[00:56:52] Parting thoughts.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
