My guest Levi Fitze joins me to discuss wrapping up shooting on his multi-year project about Grouse in the Alps, we talk about where his love of the mountains and harsh weather came from, and his focus on capturing images that move people and tell a story and how to go about doing that.

Lord Mandelson's foolish links with Jeffrey Epstein resurface, raising hard questions about political judgement and leadership in Labour. Meanwhile, a very different story unfolds in the Alps, where a group of elderly nuns have returned to their beloved convent — a tale of faith, joy, and a homecoming far more dignified than Westminster scandals. Finally, Mitchum deodorant, famed for its “one job,” has reportedly caused itchy armpits and left customers less than fresh. What does it all mean? From politics that stinks to holiness that shines, Mark and Pete mix humour, poetry, and biblical wisdom to make sense of a strange world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

✈️ Show NotesEpisode SummaryScott and Candice are only days away from their next big Disney adventure—two park days followed by a Disney Cruise! In this episode, they revisit the menus for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, narrowing down their “must-do” snacks, drinks, and desserts before they set sail. From pickle milkshakes (no thank you!) to the irresistible Schinken Nudel, and from sparkling pineapple wine to blueberry crème brûlée, they sort through what's worth the calories and what's better left behind.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Send us a textBalancing on the knife edge between breakthrough performance and burnout, Benjamin Townsend takes us behind the scenes of his remarkable season traversing continents in pursuit of skyrunning glory. From the humid jungles of Malaysia to the technical Alps, his journey reveals the unseen challenges young athletes face when building a global racing career.The conversation opens with Benjamin's qualification for the U23 Skyrunner World Series Final and his rollercoaster experiences competing internationally. After a devastating DNF in Spain where debilitating foot pain left him unable to continue, Benjamin rebounded spectacularly with his first U23 win at Japan's Weta Sky Race - a grueling 16-mile course with over 10,000 feet of vertical gain. The victory marked a pivotal moment, confirming he belongs among the sport's elite.What makes this episode particularly valuable are Benjamin's candid reflections on the physical and logistical challenges of international competition. He details his specialized training approach - using a 40% incline treadmill to develop the power hiking skills Americans often lack compared to Europeans from skiing backgrounds. These insights reveal the technical demands of true skyrunning that casual fans might not appreciate.Perhaps most compelling is Benjamin's vulnerability discussing the fatigue that eventually caught up with him. "I've been pretty much tired since July," he admits, acknowledging the lesson that saying yes to every opportunity has consequences. This hard-earned wisdom shapes his evolving approach to racing strategy and career longevity.The episode peaks with Benjamin's breakthrough at Broken Arrow, where he slashed nearly 20 minutes from his previous time to finish in the top 20. This performance didn't just catch the attention of major brands - it fundamentally shifted his timeline for reaching the sport's pinnacle. "My why hasn't changed," he reflects, "but the when has... it feels a lot closer than before."Whether you're an aspiring mountain athlete or simply fascinated by the mental and physical demands of elite endurance sports, Benjamin's journey offers a rare glimpse into the realities of building an international racing career from the ground up.Follow Benjamin on IG - @benjamin.tsendFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

A champion's interview! Fresh off making history as the first American to win TDS in Chamonix, Careth Arnold came to Hurricane, West Virginia, and added another victory to her résumé — the 2025 Hurricane Hundred K women's champion and course record holder.In this episode of the Hurricane Hundred K Runner Profile series, Careth shares her journey from France to Hurricane, West Virginia just weeks after her TDS triumph.We talk about her recovery, expectations coming in, her day on the Meeks Mountain Trails, and the support of her “adopted West Virginia crew” — Team Purge and Move On. Careth also gives us a peek at what's next on her race calendar, plus some fun West Virginia and Napoleon Dynamite trivia to close it out.Tune in for stories from the Alps to Appalachia, and a new chapter in the Hurricane Hundred K legacy.

Today we once again have the honor of sitting down with The Quad Fathers—Michael Vaill and Tanner Wanish. The last time I spoke with them, they had just wrapped up their legendary Yosemite Quad. But little did we know, on the descent from Half Dome they were already scheming their next big objective: The Goliath Traverse. To give you a sense of scale, let's break this thing down. The Goliath Traverse is a south-to-north, ridge link-up of two of the biggest traverses in the Sierra Nevada.The first is The Full Monty—a notoriously difficult 16-mile traverse of technical rock and mountaineering terrain. It involves 5.10 climbing, horrendous rock quality, immense exposure, and extreme endurance. It extends the already burly Full Palisade Traverse and by itself is a career-defining objective.The second half is The Full Evolution Crest, running from Bishop Pass to Piute Pass it involves miles of alpine rock, climbing up to 5.10, countless peaks over 13,000 feet, endless elevation gain and loss, and complex route-finding. First completed over eight days in 2008 by Scott McCook and Kyle Sox.Now imagine linking both of those together; that's The Goliath Traverse. At 32 miles of climbing, more than 60 summits, nearly 50,000 feet of vertical gain, it is considered the longest technical ridge traverse in the Western Hemisphere. It was first completed in 2021 by Vitaliy Musiyenko in a solo, unsupported, alpine-style push over just eight days—no caches, no partners, no support. Just Vitaliy, his mind, and the mountains.In today's conversation, we begin with a harrowing story from Tanner and Michael's preparation trip to the Alps—a reminder of just how dangerous and unpredictable the mountains can be. When I say these two are lucky to be alive, it's no exaggeration. At moments, it felt like I was talking to ghosts of fallen mountain athletes.We then dive into their successful second ascent of The Goliath, and how the experience has reshaped the way they're setting goals in the mountains—at least for now.After his first ascent in 2021, Vitaliy reflected, “It didn't feel like I had conquered Goliath…I had merely survived him.” As you'll hear, Tanner and Michael would come to understand just how accurate that statement really was.Watch The Climbing Majority on Youtube---Thanks to our sponsor!LIVSN DesignsCheckout their Ecotrek Overalls HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for 15% OFF Your Order---Get Access to Exclusive Episodes, Unlock Ad-Free Podcast, & MORE!---ResourcesTanner's IGMichael's IGVitaly's FA Goliath Write Up---We were recently rated #3 Top Climbing Podcast!

The reality of disappearing glaciers is no longer a distant phenomenon: back in May, a glacier collapsed, triggering a massive landslide that buried the Swiss village of Blatten. Switzerland finds itself on the front line of global warming. As a result, monitoring has been intensifying in the Alps, where around a hundred remaining glaciers are under increased surveillance. FRANCE 24's Jade Levin reports, with Josh Vardey.

Austrian athlete Simon Oberauner has competed in the Red Bull X-Alps five times and has always finished in 6th place or better. In this year's race he placed third for the second time, a mere seconds behind Lars Meerstetter after over 1200 kilometers (course line!) and 8 days of ferocious racing across the Alps. Simon reflects on his amazing experiences in this years race and the importance of attitude, teamwork, and training evolution. He shares insights on navigating risks, the legacy of the 8-time champion Chrigel Maurer, and offers suggestions for improving the race experience. Simon emphasizes the balance between safety and adventure, highlighting the need for understanding one's strengths and the role of a supportive team in achieving success.

We have some strange beasts here in the Lone Star State. Things like a white bison. To the Indians this is considered a sign of things improving. The Black Dog of Hanging Rock is scary, but no one has died seeing it. We have our very own Tatzelwurm, maybe related to the one in the Alps. There are a lot of weird creatures to be seen or heard here in Texas.

We find out what it's like walking to the Alps in ski boots, plus we have a focus on sustainability, looking at how different ski businesses are working together; what the UTMB are doing to reduce their impact; plus we have an interview with ‘Repair Claire' from Montane.

Have you ever fantasized about working from a seaside café in Italy or spending your mornings hiking the Alps before a day of virtual patient care? For many physicians, the dream of living abroad can feel out of reach—especially if continuing to practice medicine is important. But what if you didn't have to choose between your career and your sense of adventure? In this inspiring episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ashwini Bapat, a palliative care physician and co-founder of Hippocratic Adventures, a vibrant community for doctors dreaming of life and work outside the U.S. Dr. Bapat shares her own journey to Portugal, how she and her husband made it work professionally, and the many options available for physicians—from local employment abroad to telemedicine and hybrid models. Whether you're just starting to consider life in another country or actively mapping out your international move, this episode offers stories, strategies, and support to help you navigate the possibilities. In this episode we're talking about: How physicians can continue to work clinically while living outside the U.S. The most straightforward countries for U.S. physicians to work in clinically How telemedicine has opened up global flexibility for non-procedural specialties Common myths around practicing medicine from another country Important legal and licensing considerations for remote work and private practice Resources to help physicians interested in working while abroad The mindset shift that can turn “I can't” into “How can I?” Hippocratic Adventures Telemedicine & Beyond - Includes a list of companies where you can do telemedicine from outside the US.  IG: @hippocratic_adventures FB group (physician only): https://www.facebook.com/groups/936658356753142/ The CME-accredited course, Telepsychiatry From Abroad, opens for enrollment on September 23rd, 2025.

What happens when a self-described "hobby jogger" from the coastal flatlands of South Carolina lands a coveted spot in one of trail running's most prestigious events? Jason Cox takes us through his extraordinary journey from the moment he received that unexpected 5 AM email confirming his entry into OCC—one of the iconic UTMB races in the French Alps.Jason's adventure began with training on Hunting Island's modest trails, where he could gain about 500 feet of elevation over three miles—a far cry from the 7,800 feet of elevation gain awaiting him in the mountains. With remarkable honesty and humor, he shares how he prepared his body (and convinced his family to turn this race into a European vacation) for the challenge of a lifetime.The vivid descriptions of race day transport us to the international starting line in Orsières, through fog-shrouded mountain paths, and ultimately into thunderstorms as Jason battled the elements alongside runners from dozens of countries. From water supply challenges at aid stations to locals emerging with pots of water to help runners, the story captures the unique spirit of European trail racing where community transcends language barriers.Perhaps most compelling is Jason's account of his devices dying in the final miles, leaving him to navigate by feel and the encouragement of fellow runners. The emotional finish with his daughters joining him for the final stretch through Chamonix's streets—despite pouring rain—creates a powerful conclusion to this inspiring tale.Whether you're a seasoned ultrarunner or someone who's never considered attempting such a challenge, this episode offers valuable insights into the physical and mental journey of tackling a dream race. It's a reminder that with determination, proper preparation, and perhaps a bit of lottery luck, even a self-proclaimed hobby jogger can experience the magic of running through the Alps.Subscribe now to hear more stories of ordinary runners achieving extraordinary feats, and share your own UTMB dreams with us on social media!

So, while we were on a break, I went to Christchurch to see my son for his 19th birthday. It was a fleeting visit. I flew down on a Friday and home on Saturday afternoon, but my goodness – Christchurch turned it on. The weather was stunning, the views of the Alps made you want to drop everything and run for the slopes. People were out-and-about. The city was humming – Friday lunch time around Oxford Terrace and Cashel St was bustling – but in a relaxed way. There are wonderful new precincts filled with interesting shops and eateries and new architectural landmarks. Eating was my son's first priority, and once that was taken care of we spent the days cruising second-hand book and vinyl shops from the central city to glistening Lyttleton. I can't say what it's like to live in Christchurch 2.0. I can't begin to imaging what it's been like living through the rebuild, and there's clearly still plenty of recovery work to be completed, but from a visitor's point of view it felt alive, thriving and positive. My uber driver told me tourism was starting to build again and I can see why. My few days on the mainland were a stark contrast with my journey into Auckland's city centre yesterday. Now, I am a proud Aucklander and I have pushed back at the complaints about central Auckland. I enjoy shopping and going to events in the city, but goodness, it's hard sometimes. Yesterday we attended the University of Auckland's Open Day. The campus was busy and it was uplifting and exciting to see so many young people on the cusp of new adventures. But all the positively was drained from us when we went to head home. We'd parked in Victoria Street Carpark in the heart of the city. When it came to leave at 12.05 we think someone forgot to put the carpark full sign out so cars kept flooding in, and with only one lane taking cars both up and down the full carpark building, traffic came to a grinding halt. Stuck on the 13th level, we didn't move for more than 40 minutes. Finally, at around 1pm, we exited the building. There may have been another reason, maybe a technical glitch somewhere, but when I asked the AT man who was directing traffic I was sternly instructed to get moving. I suspect he'd coped a bit of abuse from a lot of angry customers and was under a bit of pressure. Here's the crazy thing is – the parking cost us $2.50. How good would that have been if we could have exited the building! It seems finding affordable and efficient parking, and good access to the city when events are on, is becoming harder. These kind of issues are unhelpful for a city centre with a reputational problem. Nor does it motivate people to come back. We don't know exactly what impact of the CRL will have on moving people around the city when it opens next year, but fingers crossed it helps – a lot. Aucklander's also deserve a thriving inner city which makes us feel invigorated, rather than frustrated. Yesterday we sorted out my daughter's degree and her future in a shorter period of time than it took for us to get out of a carpark building. Now, that's just nuts.

Send us a textGet ready for an exhilarating UTMB OCC race preview that blends expert analysis with laugh-out-loud banter! James Lariello teams up with Teddy Tonelli from the Chasing Trail podcast to break down this iconic 55K mountain race that features over 11,000 feet of climbing through some of the most spectacular terrain in the Alps.The duo dives deep into what makes OCC special - from its technical course that prohibits switchback cutting to the mandatory gear requirements that add an extra layer of challenge. With forecasts showing potential rain and temperatures ranging from 48-68°F, the stage is set for an unpredictable battle on the trails.At the heart of this preview is the much-anticipated showdown between Jim Walmsley and Adam Peterman, two American ultra-running stars rarely seen competing in the same race. Has Walmsley's move to France (and his newly acquired French accent, as the hosts joke) given him the European edge? Can Peterman, coming back from injuries, reclaim his position among the elite? The hosts also highlight other Americans to watch including Michelino Sanseri and rising star Cade Michael.On the women's side, defending champion and course record holder Mao Yao returns to face stiff competition from Switzerland's Judith Weider and a strong American contingent led by Hannah Allgood and Sophia Lockley. Canadian Jasmine Lather, fresh off setting records on the Grand Teton, brings her exceptional climbing ability into the mix.Between the analysis, Teddy and James deliver hilarious commentary on everything from European shower habits to the dangers of aggressive Alpine cows, making this preview as entertaining as it is informative. Their chemistry shines through as they debate their podium picks and contemplate the future of betting in trail running.Whether you're planning to follow the live coverage or just want to understand what makes OCC one of the most competitive races of the UTMB weekend, this episode offers the perfect blend of insight, predictions, and trail running culture. Tune in before Thursday's race to get fully primed for what promises to be an epic mountain running showdown!Follow Chasing Trail on Spotify - @chasingtrail Follow Chasing Trail on Apple - @chasingtrailFollow Chasing Trail on Youtube - @chasingtrailFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

The Locarno Film Festival takes place every August in the Swiss town of Locarno, at the base of the Alps, with a robust mix of new discoveries, repertory selections, and premieres of films by major auteurs. Film Comment was on the ground this year, combing through the lineup for highlights, and this episode—featuring critics and programmers Inney Prakash and Cici Peng in conversation with FC Editor Devika Girish—covers some of the notable titles: Radu Jude's Dracula (3:09), Alexandre Koberidze's Dry Leaf (16:10), Kamal Aljafari's With Hasan in Gaza (23:45), Sophy Romvari's Blue Heron (30:38), and more

This week we're excited to present a conversation with legendary French New Wave filmmaker and critic Luc Moullet and his creative and life partner Antonietta Pizzorno as they discuss the 1976 feature, Anatomy of a Relationship, with FLC programmer Dan Sullivan. This event took place as part of our recently concluded retrospective Luc Moullet: Anarchy in the Alps. Luc Moullet's follow-up to the far-out excursions of The Smugglers and A Girl Is a Gun grounds itself in the shared everyday life of a couple. Moullet himself plays a filmmaker who struggles to earn a living practicing his vocation; his professional frustrations are matched by his apparent inability to please his intellectual wife (Christine Hébert), sexually or otherwise. Moullet and Pizzorno (Moullet's real-life wife and creative partner) set the proceedings in spare, claustrophobic spaces, chronicling quarrels, cringe-inducing episodes, and fleeting moments of tenderness on the way to a comic meditation on filmmaking's capacity to complicate relationships.

I still ski each year in my dad's parrot onesie and regularly get pulled over by people keen to share fond BL memories. A couple of years ago in Val D'Isere, one group told me that they are all friends because their parents had met doing seasons with BL and they still all ski together now.

After weeks soaking in Italy's lakes, mountains, cities, and countryside, we are back—and we've got stories. From misty lakeside mornings in Lake Garda to harrowing, almost-died-on-a-mountain Jeep turns in the Dolomites, this is a full-bodied recap of their three-week Italian adventure. Whether you're dreaming of Florence, fantasizing about spa days, or just here for the unfiltered travel laughs, this episode will transport you. You'll also get a dose of cultural reflection, some wellness wisdom from the Alps, and why sometimes the most luxurious thing you can do... is slow down.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Slowing down isn't lazy—it's powerful. The Italian pace reminded us how beauty, wellness, and relationships thrive without the rush. Where you are changes who you are. Culture influences energy, and immersing yourself in a place like Italy can shift your mindset toward care, connection, and consciousness. Nature recalibrates you. Whether it's a mountaintop hike or a boat on the lake, the outdoors offered perspective we didn't know we needed.

Today we're headed to a region where three cultures collide, where jagged limestone peaks take your breath away, and where ancient legends are still passed down over dinner. We're in the Dolomites — specifically, the quiet, breathtaking valley of San Cassiano. Joining me is my friend Hugo Pizzinini, third-generation hotelier and owner of the newly reimagined Aman Rosa Alpina. Hugo and his family have lived in this valley for nearly a century, and their hotel has long been a hidden gem of the Alps.  Hugo and I chat about everything from growing up in this magical corner of Italy, to the hotel's incredible history, to the subtle art of making guests feel truly at home. You'll also hear about off-grid alpine cabins, via ferrata climbs, and a few stories you definitely won't find on Google. Whether you're dreaming of snow-dusted peaks or summer hikes through wildflower meadows, I hope this episode helps you see the Dolomites in a whole new light. Looking to book a luxury hotel?

Lance, George, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Spencer Martin (aka “The Professor”) break down Ben O'Connor's incredible ride to win the Queen Stage of the 2025 Tour de France atop the Col de la Loze, finishing ahead of the lead GC group, which was led in by Tadej Pogačar, with the race leader continuing to extend his advantage over Jonas Vingegaard after yet another day in which Visma-Lease a Bike's tactics failed to put meaningful pressure on his comfortable lead. During the show, Steve Cummings—director of O'Connor's Jayco–AlUla team—calls in to discuss the team's strategy going into the stage. The crew also examines the remaining possibilities in the Green Jersey battle, with Jonathan Milan scooping up more intermediate sprint points, before previewing tomorrow's short but brutal day in the Alps and answering a few listener questions.
