Podcasts about Alps

What happens when you buy a vintage Ferrari in Italy, drive it through the Alps in August with failing alternators, and then rally it to Monterey Car Week? Naturally… you plan on doing it again. This week on the Avants Podcast, Dan and Nick sit down with Brian McLean — a man who believes old cars are meant to be driven, not hidden away in climate-controlled garages. From a long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Shadow to a manual V12 Ferrari 400i, Brian shares stories of cross-country breakdowns, roadside repairs, sketchy one-way flights, questionable financial choices, and why the best automotive adventures usually begin with, “This is probably a bad idea.” The crew dives into: Driving vintage cars thousands of miles on rallies and road trips Buying a Ferrari sight unseen in Italy Why old cars aren't unreliable — deferred maintenance is Rally culture, road-trip philosophy, and building the next generation of enthusiasts Fuel leaks in Nevada, seized bearings in Nebraska, and why every adventure needs a backup plan Pop-up headlights, oddball wagons, V12 obsessions, and the joy of weird cars It's equal parts automotive therapy session, comedy show, and reminder that the destination is never the point — the drive is. As always: Don't just get there… enjoy the drive. Our question of the week: What old car do you want to take on a rally adventure?

Usually Full Auto Friday is just me and the questions. Not this one. JP Dinnell is in the seat — former SEAL, came up through Ramadi, now chief training officer at Echelon Front — and Michael is running the stories. We start where it counts. Whether anything in BUD/S ever matched the field. It didn't. BUD/S is hard. It's also a controlled environment with a safety net. The real cost came later, with the guys who didn't come home. Then Michael started pulling things off the internet. A Texas plea deal that put a child predator back on the street in a day. A paraglider clipped by a Cessna over the Alps. A man in flip-flops trying to kick in a stranger's door. My son stepping up in at a grocery store. JP's daughter waiting around a corner with a bat. A gate agent getting screamed at, and what it takes to step into that. A bank hostage standoff that ended the way those always end. And the Bitcoin I didn't buy at fifty cents. The through-line is simple. Crazy exists. Have a plan. Be capable. Enjoy.

//The Wire//2300Z June 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MASS WAVES OF MIGRANT CRIME REPORTED THROUGHOUT EUROPE. UNITED STATES CONDUCTS ADDITIONAL TARGETING OF IRAN, IRANIANS RESPOND BY TARGETING KUWAIT AGAIN. STABBING ATTACK REPORTED ON TRAIN IN ATLANTA. HENRY NOWAK MURDER BODY CAM FOOTAGE RELEASED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Persian Gulf: Over the weekend, more mutual targeting efforts continued throughout the region. The targeting efforts began after an unidentified drone entered Iranian airspace, which was downed by the Iranians. Around the same time, the United States conducted an airstrike on the radio tower at the Iranian base on Sirik Island in the eastern Persian Gulf. An unidentified location in Gerak was also struck as well, which CENTCOM claims was serving as a drone launch site. After this wave of attacks, the Iranians launched two ballistics missiles toward the airbase that the attack was launched from, which they claim was Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait. CENTCOM claimed that both missiles were intercepted. After the tit-for-tat targeting efforts were conducted on Saturday and Sunday, the United States and Iran continued their targeting efforts this morning. One merchant vessel (the MSC SARISKA V) was struck by an Iranian munition in the northern Persian Gulf, off the coast of Kuwait. Several hours after this first strike, the SARISKA reported being hit by a second munition, which caused a fire.Strait of Hormuz: Following the suspected mine detection off the coast of Oman that was reported on Friday, Omani Naval forces made visual contact with the mine, confirming it's coordinates at grid: 40RDQ3450820703. The mine appears to be a Maham-1 type device, a moored contact mine domestically produced within Iran.Lebanon: This afternoon President Trump stated on his social media accounts that he conducted a phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, which resulted in Israeli forces halting their advance to Beirut.Analyst Comment: It is extraordinarily unlikely that the advance has actually stopped, however the reference to Beirut itself is odd because the IDF is currently nowhere near the city and there was no indication that they were headed there anyway (the invasion has so far been confined to mostly the areas near the Israeli border, with the main line of advance crossing the Litani a few days ago). It would be no surprise whatsoever if the Israelis actually did want to occupy the entirety of Lebanon (as this has been stated by politicians many times). However, aspirations are harder to achieve on the battlefield and the IDF has been getting hit hard by FPV drones for weeks. Likewise, the large-scale bombing of Beirut has been the main retaliatory measure for these FPV drone attacks, and regardless of President Trump's phone call, the war continues as before. About 20 minutes after President Trump's post, Hezbollah launched rockets and Israeli forces bombed targets in Lebanon again, with neither side expressing interest in halting the fighting.France: Mass civil unrest broke out over the weekend, following the UEFA Champions League soccer match resulting in a win for France. Large scale riots were reported throughout Paris, which carried on into Sunday evening. Dozens of assaults were reported, including some reports of individuals being dragged from their vehicles by mobs of migrants and assaulted.Austria: Yesterday a woman was attacked by an unidentified assailant on a train in Vienna. Local witnesses state that a woman of foreign origin attacked a local Austrian woman in an unprovoked attack while on the subway. No arrests have been made so far regarding this attack.Germany: This morning a migrant mob attack was reported in the small town of Tuttlingen. The mob attack was reported in the vicinity of a bus stop in the town, and resulted in a mob attempting to beat a man to death in the street. The status of the victim remains unclear.Analyst Comment: Extreme levels of violence have become very common in small European towns, even quaint villages tucked away in the foothills of the Alps. Many of these towns are now serving as an above-ground railroad of sorts, funneling migrants en masse northward into Germany. Tuttlingen has become one of these such towns. The bus stations at many of these villages are now effectively no-go areas for many locals, as large volumes of migrants tend to congregate at the facilities as they are transported by NGOs throughout the continent.United Kingdom: This afternoon the bodycam footage of the murder of Henry Nowak was leaked. The footage is worse than what was described in court, and has already resulted in increased calls for police accountability regarding this case.Analyst Comment: While everyone is rightfully calling for police accountability in this case, it is important to remember that people who directly caused the murder are still free. Only the murderer and the chief accomplice (Digwa's mother) were convicted. Per the official press release from the Southampton Constabulary, two other people were arrested that night; Digwa's family members that even the police have admitted lied on the night of the attack, causing the delay that contributed to Nowak's murder. These two other family members have not been charged with any crime.-HomeFront-Georgia: Over the weekend another subway murder was reported in Atlanta. Local authorities state that one assailant stabbed a woman to death on a MARTA train in the vicinity of Oakland City station. The victim died at the scene, and locals claim it was an unprovoked random stabbing attack. The suspect has been identified as John Elijah Matthews, who was arrested at the scene shortly after the murder.Florida: A street takeover mob attack was reported in Clearwater Beach over the weekend. One individual shot another individual during a street confrontation on Coronado Drive, wounding one person.Analyst Comment: Other than the shooting, roving bands and mobs swarmed through Clearwater over the weekend, which is likely to get the attention of much more substantial crowd-control efforts due to this area being a very big vacation area at the height of tourism season.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, a pattern is beginning to emerge with regard to American targeting efforts in the region. CENTCOM is now conducting "self-defense" strikes on targets that are really stretching the definition of "self-defense", as per all prior CENTCOM targeting guidance. CENTCOM is claiming that since a radio tower was used at some point to support a drone strike, they can strike it in self-defense. The drones that are being launched by the Iranians throughout the region are very likely not being controlled from Sirik Island, but this outpost is probably being used by forward observers. This site was also probably used as a radio base to communicate with merchant shipping, and issue notices from the Iranians via radio.More broadly, these more recent targeting efforts also serve as an indicator for what the United States might be trying to do at a more strategic level. Within the past few days, the United States has twice launched offensive targeting efforts, while claiming to conduct a strike under "self-defense" criteria. This has now slipped into more of a "mowing the lawn" approach to targeting Iranian infrastructure, whereby every couple of days the US bombs something, then the Iranians counterattack, and the US clutches pearls and pretends like CENTCOM didn't start it in the first place. How long the Iranians will put up with this is purely up to them, but they also know that these smaller targeting efforts by the United States are probably intended to provoke a knee-jerk reaction and re-ignite the large-scale bombings of the war. Right now, the Iranians have a very powerful position, so they might not want to jeopardize kicking things off again based on a handful of strikes, but that option is always on the table. How things progress from here is anyone's guess, but every bomb that lands in Iran, and every missile that lands at an American base, is another step farther from the negotiating table.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Just a presence watching from the trees.Justin shares the full story of the encounter, the terrifying night that followed, and the strange details that still stay with him over a decade later. The episode also explores other reports connected to the Trinity Alps region, including frightening screams heard deep in the wilderness near the same trail system.If you've ever wondered why Northern California remains one of the most active Bigfoot regions in America, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

I couldn't get a new podcast out with my travels from Alto Adige with the patrons,  but I thought it was timely I re-released this show since I was just there. It's not ALL old hat -- I did a light edit, improved the sound quality, and recorded a quick intro to this re-release of Ep 310: Elena Walch - The Quality Revolutionary of Alto Adige, Italy. Elena Walch is a winery with an essential role in the quality revolution of Alto Adige, Italy. Alto Adige is in the northeast corner of Italy and although it is one of the smallest Italian regions (0.7% of wine production) it has a nearly unlimited variety of wines that offer delicate, unique flavor profiles. Photo: A view of Alto Adige from my travels   Located south of the Alps, in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains (where the ice mummy was found!), vineyards here are planted steep slopes, river valleys, and some warmer plains. The vast differences in microclimates and soils in this sloping terrain make wines that have ample fruit but beautiful acidity that keep them crisp and bright. In this show I talk to Karoline Walch, the head of the winery and daughter of founder Elena Walch. She teaches us about Alto Adige, and then discusses the amazing story of her mother and how she changed the orientation of the region from bulk to quality.

“Every single person that we meet was both the endpoint of thousands of years that brought them there, and the midpoint of some other process, and was the beginning of something else entirely. Think of yourselves as the middle and the beginning, not just the end.” — Patrick Wyman History, we are often told, is a simple story of progress — from caves and villages to cities; from forests and farms to factories; from chieftains and kings to democracies. But, for Patrick Wyman, host of the enormously popular Tides of History and Fall of Rome podcasts, that's far too linear a narrative. In his new book, Lost Worlds: How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World, Wyman argues that rather than a teleological inevitability, civilization is a chaotic ten thousand year story of improvisation, experiment, failure, and unintended consequence. It is never ending. We are always in the middle of it. Dramatic advances in archaeological technology triggered Wyman's argument in Lost Worlds. Ancient DNA, isotope analysis, LiDAR, cutting-edge excavation are all opening up what Wyman calls “a golden age for popular historians.” We can now trace the lives of individuals in ways that were inconceivable just a generation ago. Wyman's star is Ötzi the Iceman — a man murdered 5,300 years ago in the Alps, whose gut contents, DNA, last meal, and likely killers we now know. Rather than a symbol of prehistoric life, Ötzi the Iceman reveals why history keeps happening. Five Takeaways •       The Prelapsarian Fallacy: Hunter-Gatherers Weren't Paradise: The romantic idea — popular in the last decade as people read Graeber and Wengrow or Yuval Noah Harari — is that hunter-gatherers had it better. Farming made us smaller, sicker, more crowded, more unequal. Wyman's counter: yes, on some metrics early farmers were less healthy than foragers. But farming also supported enormously larger populations. It expanded the possibilities of human life in ways that foraging never could. Looking back at the past and calling it paradise says more about the critique of the present than about the actual realities of past lives. •       Civilization Was Not Inevitable: We have a story about how we got from foragers to cities: people settled, started farming, produced surplus, developed specialisation, built states. But Wyman's new archaeology shows that this story is wrong at every step. Farming didn't always replace foraging. Villages didn't automatically spark agriculture. Cities didn't necessitate rigid hierarchies. For every society that moved from one stage to the next, there are others that moved in different directions, collapsed, hybridised, or simply chose something else. The line of progress is a retrospective fiction. •       Ötzi the Iceman: A Man With a Story: Wyman's most vivid example of what the new archaeology makes possible: Ötzi, a man murdered 5,300 years ago in the Alps, whose mummified body was found in 1991. From isotope analysis of his teeth, we know where he grew up. From his gut contents, we know what he ate in his last meal — venison and ibex. From his DNA, we know his ancestry. From the arrow in his back, we know how he died. We don't know his name, but we know enough to recognise him as fully human. That is what the new tools give us: not symbols of a lost world, but individual people with individual stories. •       The Fall of Rome Was Not a Tragedy: Wyman spent fifteen years of his life thinking about the fall of the Roman Empire and hosting a podcast about it. Writing this book changed how he sees it. He used to view it as a tragedy — something lost. Now he views it as a natural part of the rhythms that pulse through human societies over long periods of time. The remarkable thing about Rome is not that it fell. All empires fall. All societies eventually reach the limits of their technologies, their environments, their ways of organising life. The remarkable thing is that it lasted as long as it did. Six hundred years. That's the story. •       Think of Yourself as the Middle, Not the End: Wyman's message for the AI apocalypticists — and for everyone else who believes they're living at the final chapter of human history. Every person at every point in the past believed the same thing. The Neolithic farmers Wyman studies. The Bronze Age city-dwellers. The Romans. Every one of them was both an endpoint and a beginning. The AI revolution may transform the world. But it will not end it. Stop thinking in terms of next quarter. Start thinking of yourself as part of something much, much bigger — that will extend long after your name has been forgotten. About the Guest Patrick Wyman is the host of the Tides of History, Fall of Rome, and Past Lives podcasts, and the author of Lost Worlds: How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World (Harper, May 5, 2026) and The Verge: Renaissance, Reformation, and Forty Years That Shook the World.

"The field recording and the satellite timelapse I chose speak of hydro-power, energy and discontinuity, they tell the story of a voice fragmented, amplified and impeded. There is magic and mystery in the life of these ancient water-beings. Is a river a portal? Is the myth still alive?"Artist and researcher Elizabeth Gallon Drosde introduces us to the submerged at the beginning of the composition. Rivers are story tellers, they are memory. If we deep listen, we might commune with ghosts and tune our bodies to their whispers, we might become a vibration."The sound of wind accompanying this first part and the end of the piece is played on violin by violinist Ida Di Vita (Quartetto Indaco). A long whistle, the primordial element of air swirling and hissing."Later on I join the flow and embody the river, its deep ancestral sound. My poem and my pitched voice in English are there to remind us of the history of this more-than-human being, its force and path, its hunger. "Mystery and magic, and the Lech rivers in reverse. I proceed in Italian overlapping my reversed voice. I get hungrier and hungrier and I go deeper and deeper, till pressure slows down, till noise recedes.Composition:original field recording by Riccardo Fumagalliwind sound by violinist Ida di Vita (Quartetto Indaco)intro poem 'In the interstices of river-portals' by Elizabeth Gallon DrosdeEnglish/Italian poem 'In the Arms of Weirs' by Ilaria BoffaSound effects, mixing and production by Ilaria BoffaPoem, In the Arms of Weirs'Deep-voiced white noiseprogression of pressure spinning of shhh, turmoil.It's all you can feel in the fall. It's good to be at serviceto move downwards and collectto come a long way acrossthe Pleistocene moraines the edge of Alps and gravel fieldsto accumulate in the arms of weirs.But I've seen algae disappearunder the law of no fish pass. I get hungrier and hungrierI go deeper and deeperas to search for the Styxas to swear by her water.Way less than a good mothermy spawning grounds in degradationmy current impeded, my voicebroken, a life to gauge.Flow continuity hiccups with drawn-out hisses and roarsit self-renders into a different languageit loosens and rivers in reverse.' Poem, Is a River a Portal?'Living between languages, between the here and therelearning to become fluvial,finding shores to breathe on,more than a beginning or an end.The portal, the waters, dams.To remember with water is to submerge in the threshold —this is how the river becomes a practice, a way of moving,a framework for transitionsin the interstices,Linking us to the collective,to the territories that lie beyond, deeper.Listening to the waters between the here and there,becomes a space for what resists being said,a gesture of attention,where meaning slips through,without words.Communing with the ghostsrivers always testify, are storytellersthis means tuning our bodies to their whispersa hum, a vibration, an interference.'Section of the river Lech reimagined by Ilaria Boffa. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.

"For the Flow project, a collaboration between Cities and Memory, the University of Padova, and the University of Würzburg, I composed an original piece of music based on a field recording made by researchers along the Lech River near Höfen, Austria."Titled “A Sense of Place”, the composition brings together history, atmosphere, geography, and memory, reflecting the moment when the listener arrives inside the landscape. Ambient and restrained, the work carries a quiet archival weight, its textures shaped by the crackle and patina of early 78-rpm recordings. Rather than describing the river directly, the piece allows sound itself to function as a record, letting meaning emerge slowly and intuitively."The Lech is one of the last largely free-flowing rivers in the northern Alps. Its mineral-rich waters and shifting gravel banks have shaped both the surrounding landscape and the cultural identity of the Lechtal for centuries. This continuity—between past and present, place and memory—forms the emotional core of the piece."Within this context, “A Sense of Place” is intended to feel less like a composition and more like a discovered artefact—  something uncovered rather than authored. Timeless and quietly resonant, it invites the listener to inhabit the river's memory and allow the sound to do the storytelling."Section of the river Lech reimagined by  Jeff Düngfelder. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.

"Rushing currents, echoing depths — where the haunting calls of water spirits appear and dissolve like currents in motion."This dramatic, immersive soundscape was inspired by Riccardo Fumagalli's field recording captured at Section 5 of the Lech River at Stanzach, Austria, “where the river bed is at its largest and the water caresses the vegetation around it”. Here the river has been braided, dividing the flow into five groynes that restrict the river's lateral movement. “They are built to train and constrain the lateral movement of rivers within the surrounding floodplain. Braided rivers tend to be very wide and, under natural conditions, highly dynamic. I believe the groynes were built in the first half of the 20th century, mainly to reduce the active river area, expand farmland, and provide flood protection.” (Martina Cecchetto)."I was immediately drawn to this sound by the purity of the bubbling water recording and by the beauty of the “String of Pearls” river shape created by human intervention, clearly visible in satellite images. This section is the second deepest part of the entire Lech River, and I wanted this sense of power and depth to play an important role in the composition."Further research revealed that the Lech River is commonly referred to by locals and tourists as the “last wild river”, due to its untamed, braided and largely natural state, often characterised as a living, flowing spirit of the Alps. In Austrian folklore, the famous shapeshifting female water spirits are called Nixe. The title and soundscape of this piece reflect these two aspects of the river."The form of the work is inspired by the five “pearl-shaped” sections of the river where the sample was taken. The climaxes in the piece mark these five sections, corresponding to the human intervention that created the groynes restricting the river's flow, represented by more metallic and destructive sounds. Vocal elements evoke water spirits calling and luring, drifting and disappearing into the distance. The soundscape was created by transforming the original sample into 22 different sounds using effects, combined with an additional 44 sound and vocal tracks, making a total of 77 tracks."Through my compositions, I enjoy drawing attention to the importance, fragility, and beauty of the natural world. Conservation efforts, such as the LIFE Lech project, have focused on removing bank stabilisation structures and giving the river space to redevelop its natural dynamics, ensuring the long-term success of habitat and species conservation. However, Section 5 has not yet been included in the restoration project."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Amanda Stuart. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.

Thun. Population 44,000. Located in the Swiss Bernese Oberland, where the river Aare meets a lake, with the Alps as a backdrop. Switzerland's biggest military town. Not exactly a place you'd expect to find yourself talking about Champions League football next season.And yet. FC Thun — a club that just got promoted from the second division — is on the verge of becoming Swiss champions in their very first year back in the top flight. It is, on its face, one of the great Cinderella stories in European football right now. But as anyone who has spent time with a club's actual history knows, Cinderella stories are rarely just that.Behind the headlines of this sensational season is a club that has been through it all: an archive that burned to the ground in 1975, a Champions League run in the early 2000s that nobody saw coming, a pair of scandals serious enough to make their own timeline entries, financial collapse, relegation, and a president who took the job because, as he put it, nobody else would.My guest today is Medea Vögeli, historian and FC Thun researcher — the person who has spent years digging through what's left of the club's records and building out their documented history to a great interactive version on their website. She's a Bern-based historian who came to Thun through academic curiosity, and is a fan of the club as well.We talk about what kind of town Thun actually is, how this club has always punched above, below, and sideways, and whether this time around, the success might actually stick.HELPFUL LINKS FOR TODAY's EPISODE:FC Thun - Geschichte (interactive history timeline, German)FC Thun anthem (YouTube)Italian Stallion - Thun City (YouTube)FC Thun in the GuardianFC Thun on the BBCNEW: send me a text message!

The spring Classics campaign has come to an end and the Giro d'Italia is just around the corner. To bridge the gap between the two, and with Daniel Friebe absent as he prepares for the Giro, Lionel Birnie is joined by Tudor Pro Cycling's Larry Warbasse to wrap up the first part of the season, look ahead to the first Grand Tour of the year and react to some huge sponsorship news which may help Ineos Grenadiers challenge for the Tour de France once again.In part one Larry updates on the Tour of the Alps, where he and a lot of riders were fine-tuning their form ahead of the Giro and one of his teammates made a rapid and successful transition from speed skating to elite level cycling with a stage win. He also talks about his version of the all-day-breakfast and heat training indoors.In the second part, Lionel reports back from the big reveal which confirmed a new title sponsor for Ineos Grenadiers. From the Giro d'Italia they will be Netcompany-Ineos thanks to backing from a Danish IT company that is pumping in a figure thought to be around €100m over five years. The target is for the team to win an eighth Tour de France in the next five years, but its the introduction of Netcompany's AI software, Pulse, which makes this more than just a sponsorship deal. Pulse, which is used at several major airports, including Heathrow, will be used to help the team make 'better decisions more often'. We ask whether its use can extend beyond logistics and training and start to influence racing strategy and tactics.In the final part, we tie up all the loose ends from the spring and turn our attentions towards the Giro before handing over to Daniel and co for daily coverage of the Corsa Rosa, which starts in Bulgaria on Friday, May 8.Image courtesy of Netcompany-Ineos.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Europe's borders in the Middle Ages were created by one man, and he wasn't even born in the Middle Ages, nor was he Christian. It was Emperor Diocletian, who ruled Rome from 284 to 305. His reforms that chained tenant farmers to land created the blueprint for feudalism. He split the empire, which established the East-West divide. Lastly, his shift from static Roman legions to mobile armies set the stage for the warrior kingdoms that would dominate the early Middle Ages. Today, new genetic analysis of skeletal and tooth remains is revolutionizing how we understand this transformation—a high-status woman buried around 550 in Britain was born in Norway according to her childhood tooth enamel, proving the "barbarian invasions" were actually century-long migrations averaging just three miles per day. Today's guest is John Haywood, author of The Making of the Middle Ages: An Atlas of Europe. We discuss how Europe from 500-700 was ruled by warrior kingdoms with mobile courts that constantly traveled—only shifting to fixed courts and proper imperial administration after Charlemagne established counties, libraries, copyists, and the emporia trading centers where workshops and markets flourished. Haywood also explains how Ravenna's independence from Byzantium portended the rise of papal power, why towns collapsed from Roman populations of thousands to mere hundreds unless a bishop resided there, and how the density of churches and monasteries north of the Alps exploded between 600 and 1200 as the Catholic Church consolidated power across formerly pagan Germanic territories.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spencer Martin and Johan Bruyneel go through the final few stages of the Tour of the Alps, which saw Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's Giulio Pellizzari win the tough final stage and seal up the overall classification, before previewing Sunday's showdown between Tadej Pogačar, Remco Evenepoel, and teenage sensation Paul Seixas. They break down where they think the winning move will go, and if anyone can potentially keep Pogačar from getting his third straight win at the Monument.

ONE EYE ON THE WORLD — Monocle, the brainchild of the expat Canadian magazine maker, Tyler Brûlé, was born in early 2007, a relatively awful year for the magazine business, not to mention the entire world. In that year alone, more than 100 print magazines folded—or, as Wikipedia terms it, were “dis-established”—among them: Life (yet again), Premiere, Red Herring, House & Garden, Jane, Child, and Business 2.0. Months later, the global economy was hit by the Great Recession. But Brûlé was coming out from under a rather lengthy non-compete agreement with Time Inc., after selling his previous startup, Wallpaper*, to the American media giant, and he was desperate to get back to the newsroom. Given the times, and the stream of fading print publications, one could judge Brûlé's resolve as “madness,” as Don Quixote cried in the opening clip. Digital was all the rage, the iPad was knocking on the door, and the radiation of the frenzied dotcom meltdown was still slowly killing legacy media. “Madness”? Not if you know Tyler Brûlé.  In his world, “life as it should be” is rich—a morning espresso in a bustling cafe with a crisp newspaper written and edited in the romance language of your choice, sorting out weekends skiing the Alps or lounging on the Med while riding the night train to Vienna. And then there's the print—not only the magazine itself, printed on “upwards of nine different paper stocks, crammed with extremely niche articles about carbon-neutral airlines in Costa Rica and sleek Afghan restaurants in Dubai,” but also special edition newspapers, coffee table books, and Monocle-approved travel guides.  (Someone forgot to tell Brûlé and his brilliant team of collaborators that print is dead). In a media culture traditionally obsessed with scale at any cost, Monocle's modest 100,000 circulation belies a thriving multi-media juggernaut that confidently ignores the lure of social media. “We're in a very fortunate position that we're an independent publisher,” says Brûlé, “and we don't have the commercial pressures of a big parent. And those commercial pressures can be two-fold: One is cost savings, but the other pressures are to go and chase after every new trend.” In fact, Brûlé thinks of Monocle as a family business. “We don't set out to be pioneers, but also we're a family company, and we can choose to do things quickly if we want to.” That same culture has manufactured the pressure to establish one's entrepreneurial cred. You're not the editor, you're the founding editor, the founding creative director, the founding director. But when asked about how he thinks of and refers to himself, Brûlé answers simply: “If I think about ‘What do I do?' I'm a journalist. I'm out to be a witness. I'm out to absorb, I'm out to interpret, and I'm out to communicate.  A print-centric media phenomenon, created as a family business, led by a journalist. Surprising? Not for someone who's been building a life—as it should be. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Memento mori! This week, we're talking about the film that may have the lowest budget of any in the Full Moon canon (and that's really saying something): DEMONICUS, a 2001 thriller about an ancient Roman gladiator who takes over the body of a hapless hiker and starts wreaking havoc through the "Alps."

Harnessing Fear as Fuel: Leadership and Decision-Making Insights from Patrick J. Sweeney IIIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Patrick J. Sweeney II—serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of The Founder's Creed, and renowned public speaker—to explore the intersection of fear, leadership, and entrepreneurial success. Patrick's journey, ranging from paragliding in the Alps to investing in over 75 companies including unicorn startups like Trulia, offers a masterclass in transforming biological responses into a leadership superpower. This conversation provides a comprehensive guide for founders and executives seeking to turn the inherent uncertainty of business into a strategic advantage by mastering the "fear center" of the brain.The Neuroscience of Courage: Moving Beyond the Amygdala HijackThe human brain is essentially a prediction engine, constantly scanning the environment to match current reality with past expectations. Patrick J. Sweeney II explains that when an entrepreneur faces the unknown, the brain experiences a "prediction error," creating free energy that the amygdala often interprets as a threat. This ancient survival mechanism triggers a fight, flight, or freeze response—what many call an "amygdala hijack"—which can override the rational prefrontal cortex and lead to reactive, fear-based decision-making. To lead effectively, one must recognize that fear is a natural biological signal rather than a personal failing; by understanding the science of how the brain processes risk, founders can learn to depersonalize the experience and maintain executive function under pressure.Transforming this biological energy into fuel requires practical, repeatable techniques to regulate the nervous system in real-time. Patrick advocates for "micro-dosing discomfort" to build neurological resilience, such as seeking out small risks like public speaking or difficult conversations to widen one's comfort zone. In high-pressure moments, simple tools like box breathing can signal safety to the brain, effectively "calming the dragon" and restoring the ability to think critically. By normalizing these discussions within a company culture, leaders create a foundation of psychological safety that allows for genuine innovation, as the team feels empowered to take calculated risks without the paralyzing fear of failure.The ultimate goal for a growth-oriented leader is to replace the chaos of a startup with a sustainable "cadence" of decision-making. Patrick introduces the "Buddha Doctrine," a strategic loop that expands on military OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) models by adding "Believe" as the critical first step. Unlike military operations backed by institutional authority, entrepreneurs must build belief from scratch—starting with self-conviction and radiating that certainty outward to investors, employees, and customers. By establishing regular rhythms and cycles of strategic reflection, a scale-up can maintain its urgency and momentum without burning out, ensuring that growth is driven by a shared, unwavering belief in the mission rather than a reactionary response to market crises.About Patrick J. Sweeney IIPatrick J. Sweeney II is a serial entrepreneur, an investor in over 75 technology startups, and a world-renowned expert on the biology of fear. Known as "The Fear Guru," he has spent years researching the neuro-biological basis of courage and decision-making, working with everyone from Olympic athletes to Fortune 500 CEOs. He is the author of the bestselling book, The Founder's Creed, and is a frequent keynote speaker on how to leverage fear to achieve peak performance and lead with conviction.About The Founder's CreedThe Founder's Creed is both a strategic framework and a call to action for entrepreneurs navigating the volatile journey of building a company. It provides leaders with the psychological and operational tools needed to bridge the "belief gap" and scale organizations with discipline and speed. Through the principles of the Buddha Doctrine, the platform helps founders move from a state of reactionary chaos to a sustainable cadence of growth, centering on the idea that the most successful ventures are built on a foundation of mastered fear and unwavering belief.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Founder's Creed Official Website: www.thefounderscreed.comPatrick J. Sweeney II on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thefearguruKey Episode HighlightsThe Amygdala Hijack: Understanding the biological roots of fear and how to prevent it from sabotaging your rational decision-making.The Buddha Doctrine: A five-step decision-making framework (Believe, Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) tailored specifically for the entrepreneurial journey.Micro-Dosing Discomfort: Why regularly stepping outside your comfort zone is essential for building long-term neurological resilience.Bridging the Belief Gap: Strategies for creating internal conviction and external buy-in from early believers and investors.Cadence Over Chaos: Moving from the frantic energy of a startup to a sustainable, repeatable rhythm of strategic growth.ConclusionThe conversation with Patrick J. Sweeney II reinforces that fear is not an obstacle to be avoided, but a powerful catalyst for leadership when mastered. By applying the science of courage and the discipline of the Buddha Doctrine, entrepreneurs can navigate uncertainty with clarity and build organizations that truly thrive on the other side of fear.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

His parents relentlessly and fruitlessly sought answers for 14 years, until 2003 when a melting glacier revealed Duncan's remains. What they thought would be the answer to the question that haunted them for decades, turned out to be just the beginning of another heart-wrenching search for answers. Was Duncan the victim of a tragic accident, or was he murdered? WE WERE NOMINATED FOR A WEBBY! VOTE FOR US HERE BY APRIL 16TH!

In 1914, Europe was dominated by four great empires — the British, the French, the Russian, and the vast, uneasy realm of Austria-Hungary, stretching from the Alps to the Balkans. While international treaties bound the continent together under a veneer of peace, beneath the surface, the balance was increasingly fragile. As this tension bubbled, the visit of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his beloved wife Sophie to Sarajevo was meant to assert imperial authority. But waiting in the shadows, a group of young conspirators, inspired by Serbian nationalism, were convinced that killing the Archduke could free their people from his empire. What followed took only moments, but the consequences echo throughout history.   So who were the handful of young nationalists who sparked war in Europe? How did the deaths of one loving couple come to carry such enormous weight? And why, in 1914, was Europe so fragile that a single shooting could tear it apart? This is a Short History Of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
