Listener Appreciation Week Day 4 Renowned French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot explored the polar regions for many years aboard his ship, the Pourquoi Pas. When fellow explorer Roald Amundsen's plane went missing in 1928, Charcot joined the search for the Norwegian. Amundsen himself was searching for the crashed Italian airship, Italia, and its captain Umberto Nobile.

Es gibt Erfindungen, die uns so selbstverständlich sind, dass wir kaum mehr ermessen können, welchen Gewinn an Lebensqualität sie bedeuteten, als sie tatsächlich neu waren. Das Faltboot ist so ein Fall. Einfach per pedes einen Ausflug zu machen und dann auf den Wasserweg zu wechseln, wurde erst möglich, als ein entsprechendes Patent 1907 bei Johann Klepper in Rosenheim in Serienproduktion ging. Zunächst eher in oberbayerischen Wildwassern gebräuchlich, war es bis 1925 auch in Norddeutschland populär geworden, weshalb ihm die Schiffbeker Zeitung vom 16. Mai eine kleine Ode sang. Für uns intoniert wird diese von Rosa Leu.

Dagens hovedperson er den legendariske skibskok Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm, der så det som sit kald at forsyne de store polarekspeditioner med god og varieret mad, cognac og fremfor alt pandekager med rigeligt smør i al slags vejr. Han blev opdaget af den norske nationalhelt Roald Amundsen, der sagde om kokken: “Ingen mand har været vigtigere i norsk polar ekspeditionshistorie end Lindstrøm”.Men hvad var det, der gjorde Lindstrøm så uundværlig og vellidt, at han blev rost til skyerne af selveste Amundsen? Og hvad var det, der skete undervejs på den 2. Fram Ekspedition, da gnisterne slog mellem ekspeditionslederen og Lindstrøm?Medvirkende: Troels Matz, har i mange år arbejdet i den danske outdoorbranche, og har stor kærlighed til den nordiske fjeldverden. Troels har i flere år kørt med hunde i svenske Jämtland, har stor viden om norsk ekspeditionshistorie og er aktuel med podcasten “Fanget på Flue”.
Visste du at kvinnelige fotballspillere får andre typer skader enn menn? Jenny Røsholm Olsen debuterte på A-laget til Lyn som 15-åring og ble sett på som et supertalent. Men et langt skademareritt, med blant annet hamstringsskade stoppa utviklinga. Hvordan har hun klart å trene seg tilbake til igjen å bli en sentral spiller i Toppserien? Hele en av fem toppseriespillere er ute med skade hver uke, og mange av skadene kunne ha vært unngått. I episoden får du høre om kartlegginga og forskninga Roar Amundsen har gjort i sin doktorgrad. Du får også tips og råd til hvordan fotballspillere best kan jobbe med forebygging og opptrening, spesielt med tanke på hamstringsskade. Programledere er førsteamanuensis Christina Gjestvang og kommunikasjonsrådgjevar, Gjermund Erikstein-Midtbø, redigerer er Eskil Byrkjeland.
You won't believe what scientists just dug up in Antarctica.
Martin Gutmann is an expert on the history of business and has written extensively about styles of past leaders. In this episode, he shares his thoughts on everything from today's political climate, to whether he thinks Ernest Shackleton is overrated (spoiler alert – he does), to the underrated excellence of less well-known figures in history. Chapters: 02:27 Meet Martin Gutmann Bill welcomes Martin Gutmann to the podcast, exploring his diverse background and extensive experience in various countries. Martin shares how his journey has shaped his understanding of different cultures and leadership. 04:24 The Role of History in Leadership Martin discusses how historical insights can inform contemporary challenges, particularly in leadership and management. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding history to navigate present issues effectively. 07:06 Lessons from the Past The conversation shifts to how past solutions have created today's problems, with Martin referencing the Industrial Revolution and its consequences. He highlights the importance of learning from history to find modern solutions. 10:11 The Optimism of Youth Bill and Martin reflect on the idealism of younger generations regarding climate change and sustainability. They discuss how engaging with young people can inspire hope for the future. 14:02 The Qualities of Great Leaders Martin shares insights on the characteristics of effective leaders, emphasizing their ability to envision possibilities that others cannot see. He contrasts this with the qualities of less favorable leaders. 16:11 Reevaluating Historical Figures The discussion turns to notable historical figures, with Martin expressing a preference for lesser-known leaders who have made significant impacts. He critiques the common narratives surrounding famous leaders like Thomas Jefferson. 20:04 Unseen Leaders and Their Impact Martin elaborates on the contributions of unseen leaders, using the example of Vasily Archipov during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He illustrates how individual actions can alter the course of history. 27:01 Churchill: The Crisis Manager Explore Winston Churchill's complex legacy as a leader during World War II, where he was thrust into a crisis not of his making. This chapter delves into the nuances of his leadership style, contrasting crisis management with the ability to foresee and avoid crises. 35:12 The Unseen Leader: Shackleton vs. Amundsen Martin Gutmann discusses the concept of the ‘unseen leader' through the lens of explorers Shackleton and Amundsen. While Shackleton's dramatic story captivates audiences, Amundsen's meticulous planning and authentic leadership provide deeper lessons in effective leadership. 42:55 The Challenge of Leadership in Media In this chapter, the conversation shifts to the media's portrayal of leadership, emphasizing how crises and scandals often overshadow the quiet, effective leaders. Martin and Bill reflect on the disparity between public admiration for dramatic leaders versus those who exemplify humility and competence. 46:26 A Global Perspective on Leadership Martin shares his insights on the political climate in Europe and how it resonates with the current events in the U.S. He discusses the resilience of democratic institutions and the importance of good leadership amidst rising concerns about political extremism. 50:01 Optimism in the Next Generation Ending on a hopeful note, Martin reflects on the optimism he sees in younger generations, highlighting their ability to dream big without the constraints of cynicism. This chapter underscores the importance of nurturing this optimism as a counterbalance to the challenges faced in today's world.
In der neuen Podcastfolge Winterspezial mit Malte von Winterfjell wollen wir über Traumtouren im Winter sprechen. Wir alle haben vermutlich kleinere oder größere Träume, und wer gerne im Winter unterwegs ist hat sich vermutlich auch schon beim abendlichen Schneeschmelzen über die ein oder andere Traumtour unterhalten. Oder über eben solche Touren im gemütlichen Schlafsack gelesen, schöne Grüße von Shackelton, Ousland oder Amundsen.Aber was ist eigentlich eine Traumtour? Muss man zwingend eine Bucketlist oder Traumtour haben? Und wer bestimmt eigentlich, was eine Traumtour ist? Stichworte wie Nordpol, Südpol, Spitsbergen und Grönland kommen da schnell in den Sinn, aber gibt es nicht auch noch andere coole Touren?Wie immer ergeben sich Fragen über Fragen wenn man sich einem solchen Thema versucht zu nähern. Und so auch bei uns, es gibt halt keine offizielle Traumtouren-Liste die man sich irgendwo runterladen kann, denn jeder kann für sich selbst bestimmen oder herausfinden, was denn eigentlich eine Traumtour im Winter ist.In dieser Folge versuchen wir daher einfach einmal festzustellen, was für uns eine Traumtour ist, ob wir dafür bestimmte persönliche Kriterien haben und ob es nicht auch einfach traumhafte Touren geben kann und nicht zwingend Traumtouren. Und ja, vielleicht muss ja eine vermeintliche Traumtour auch nicht unbedingt eine Tour sein, auf der man immer nur Freude, Spaß und Entspannung sucht und findet? Wir wissen es doch auch nicht!Viel Spaß beim Reinhören!Malte und SimonMalte auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/winterfjellMaltes Website: https://www.winterfjell.de Photo: Malte & SimonÜber Gästevorschläge, Themen oder sonstige Rückmeldungen würde ich mich sehr unter simon@simonpatur.de oder über die entsprechenden Social Media Kanäle wie Facebook oder Instagram freuen.Mucke: Justus Wilhelm || instagram.com/doggtor_1312_dresden
LA MIRADA DE LA FILOSOFÍA. - "¿Quién eres?" En realidad no lo sabía. Era Sofía Amundsen, naturalmente. ¿Pero quién era Sofía Amundsen? Aún no lo había averiguado del todo (...) - "¿De dónde viene el mundo?" Nadie sabe esas cosas supongo.. ¡Caray! Volvió a abrir los dos sobres. -"¿Quién eres?" -"¿De dónde viene el mundo?" (...) ¿Quién había arrancado a Sofía de lo cotidiano para de repente, ponerla ante los grandes enigmas del universo?..." Las líneas anteriores pertenecen al libro "El mundo de Sofía", de Jostein Gaarder, y describen muy bien, sobre todo en su último párrafo, uno de los objetivos de la Filosofía: arrancarnos de lo cotidiano, despertar nuestra curiosidad, "incomodarnos" (en el buen sentido de la palabra), intentar que nos hagamos preguntas, que reflexionemos, que razonemos, que busquemos el Conocimiento y la Ciencia, el por qué de las cosas, que no nos perdamos en lo vulgar de nuestro día a día, que recuperemos esa extrañeza, esa admiración y curiosidad de cuando eramos niños, pero que perdimos por el camino, en definitiva, que vivamos con los ojos abiertos pero nunca dormidos. Precisamente por todo lo anterior, Ángeles Torres Ageitos, que integró la PRIMERA PROMOCIÓN de licenciados en FILOSOFÍA de la UNIVERSIDAD DE SEVILLA, nos expone en el programa de hoy, una SÍNTESIS maravillosa de los casi VEINTISIETE SIGLOS DE HISTORIA que recorre LA FILOSOFÍA. Y así, nuestra profesora, empieza su narración desde el mismo instante en el que se planta la raíz del Conocimiento y de la Ciencia en Occidente, con los Presocráticos, y continúa recorriendo todas las épocas, etapas, corrientes y autores filosóficos, que han marcado significativamente este apasionante camino que abarca desde el siglo VI antes de Cristo hasta nuestros días, todo ello en el milagro de unos pocos minutos. En definitiva, se trata de la HISTORIA del SABER, de las IDEAS, es la historia de una fidelidad hacia nuestra NATURALEZA RACIONAL. Por otra parte, leeremos fragmentos del libro tercero del texto "De la ira", de SÉNECA, que nos aconseja cómo dominar esta pasión para que no nos domine ella. También viajaremos por trozos de su biografía, año 62 dC: Séneca intenta alejarse de Nerón cuando éste ya no se deja controlar por nadie y tiñe una y otra vez sus manos de sangre. Igualmente y en nuestro intento de aunar melodía y filosofía, el grupo MAXDTRES nos regala de nuevo una original versión de "LA MALA REPUTACIÓN", canción de Georges Brassens. Agradecemos infinito, como siempre, su colaboración y disposición.
I episoden om registerdata snakker vi med fysioterapeut og stipendiat Olav Amundsen. Han står bak en serie med interessante artikler som belyser muskelskjelettfeltet i et større perspektiv som gir klinikeren unik innsikt i hvordan dette feltet egentlig ser ut. For der hvor mange klinikere ikke kjenner seg igjen i en steril forskningsverden full av konfidensintervaller og statistisk signifikans, representerer store registerdata, også bedre kjent som det “skjulte gullet”, unik innsikt i ressursbruken og kostnadseffektiviteten i helsevesenet. Vi snakker med Olav om hva registerdata er og hva slags kunnskap de gir oss. Vi snakker om kostnadsbruken i primærhelsetjenesten og om hvordan de har undersøkt ressursbruken i helsetjenesten. Hvor mange pasienter oppsøker fysioterapeuten, fastlegen eller kiropraktoren som eneste kontaktpunkt, og hvordan går det med dem? Hva kjennetegner de pasientene som benytter mange kontaktpunkter og som koster samfunnet enorme summer? Hvor mange pasienter havner i spesialisthelsetjenesten, hvor mye koster disse og hvor mange har havnet der uten å forsøke konservativ behandling først? Disse og mange andre spørsmål går vi løs på i denne spennende episoden. Olav Amundsen har sin grunnutdannelse som fysioterapeut fra Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus. Han har mastergrad i Musculoskeltal Physiotherapy fra Curtin University i Perth, Australia og ble godkjent manuellterapeut i 2018. Siden 2021 har han jobbet i forskningsprosjektet INOREG ved Universitetet i Oslo. INOREG-prosjektet forsker på effekter av helsetjenester hos pasienter med kroniske sykdommer, og Olav jobber i arbeidspakken med muskel-skjelettplager med professor Nina Køpke Vøllestad som hovedveileder. Ved siden av doktorgradsarbeidet jobber han som fysio-/manuellterapuet med kommunal driftsavtale ved Aktivklinikken Lillehammer.PATREON: For to år siden begynte vi en patreontjeneste. Patreons er følgere som bidrar med en slant i måneden for å være en tydeligere stemme i podcasten. De stiller spørsmål og har forslag til gjester, og noen av de har også figurert i faktiske episoder. Denne tjenesten jobber vi kontinuerlig videre med, og patreongruppa er nå over seksti klinikere fra hele landet. Patreons får rabatter på våre kurs og fagdager og får tilgang til ekstra faglig snacks fra episodene. Dersom du ønsker å bidra, koster det deg mindre enn Netflixabonnementet ditt. Og for prisen får du muligheten til å gjøre Norges største muskelskjelettpodcast enda bedre. Les mer og bli en patreon i dag på: patreon.com/vondt KURS 19-20. SEPT: I september presenter vi et helt nytt kurs om skulder som bygger på fagdagen vår "VONDT i skulderen".

Die Wege bzw. Bestände eines Archivs sind manchmal unergründlich. Für den Zeitraum vieler Monate des Jahres 1925 ist das große und wichtige Hamburger Fremdenblatt in keiner der einschlägigen Zeitungssammlungen dokumentiert – aus irgendeinem Grund hat allein die Ausgabe vom 19. März sich als Einzelstück dorthin doch verirrt. Und in ihr wurden wir prompt fündig: Der norwegische Forscher und Abenteurer Roald Amundsen hatte nach sich seiner sagenumwobenen Expedition zum Südpol und dem erfolgreichen Durchqueren von Nordwest- und Nordostpassage das neue Ziel gesetzt, mit dem Flugzeug zum Nordpol zu gelangen, und das Hamburger Fremdenblatt heftete sich an seine Fersen. Warum diese Reise zunächst in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, nämlich nach Italien führte und was das alles mit dem Versailler Friedensvertrag zu tun hatte, erläutert uns Frank Riede.

En 1911, el explorador Roald Amundsen lideró con éxito la primera expedición en llegar al Polo Sur. Su equipo enfrentó temperaturas extremas, tormentas implacables y desafíos que parecían insuperables. Sin embargo, su preparación, perseverancia y confianza en su estrategia lo llevaron a la victoria. En contraste, otro explorador, Robert Falcon Scott, intentó la misma hazaña sin la misma planificación y, lamentablemente, su equipo pereció en el intento.Así como Amundsen no permitió que las dificultades lo detuvieran, la Biblia está llena de historias de hombres y mujeres que enfrentaron adversidades pero perseveraron en Dios. José soportó años de esclavitud y prisión antes de ser gobernador de Egipto. Daniel fue arrojado al foso de los leones, pero su fe lo sostuvo. La victoria no siempre es inmediata, pero aquellos que confían en Dios y siguen adelante con determinación ven Su mano obrar.Si hoy enfrentas un desafío que parece imposible, recuerda que Dios te ha equipado para superarlo. Confía en que Él está contigo y usará cada dificultad para fortalecerte. La Biblia dice en Romanos 8:28: “Y sabemos que a los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas les ayudan a bien” (RV1960).

This episode is also available on YouTube. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer renowned for being the first to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating Robert Falcon Scott's British expedition. A skilled navigator and leader, he used innovative techniques learned from the Inuit, such as dog sledding and wearing fur clothing, to survive in extreme polar conditions. Amundsen also led the first successful navigation of the Northwest Passage in 1906 and later became the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole by airship in 1926. He tragically disappeared in 1928 during a rescue mission in the Arctic. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.

Dans cet épisode d'« Une Date, Une Histoire », Philippe Legrand et Bernard Werber reviennent sur la découverte du Pôle Sud par Roald Amundsen en décembre 1911, marquant la fin des grandes explorations. Amundsen a affronté des conditions extrêmes pour devenir le premier à atteindre ce point. Werber décrit ce "paradis blanc" peuplé de manchots et l'importance de cette découverte pour la cartographie du monde. Il évoque aussi son dernier roman, "La Valse des Âmes", et son spectacle "VIE - Voyage Intérieur Expérimental", un voyage initiatique.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.
In 1924 and 1925, Amundsen made two attempts to fly over the Arctic. One would be a humiliating disaster. The other would be a glorious disaster.

Exploraciones, misterios y el eterno día de la AntártidaEn este episodio de El Siglo 21 es Hoy, te llevamos al corazón de la Antártida durante el verano austral, cuando el Sol nunca se oculta. A través de relatos fascinantes y hechos históricos, exploramos el fenómeno del Sol de medianoche y su impacto en el mundo natural, la ciencia y las grandes expediciones polares.➜ All music used in this episode is licensed under Audiio and Creative Commons licenses.Descubre cómo la inclinación de 23,5 grados del eje terrestre genera este espectáculo único en las regiones polares y cómo afecta la vida silvestre, como los pingüinos emperador y las focas de Weddell, que aprovechan la claridad para cazar bajo el hielo. También hablamos de los científicos que trabajan en las estaciones antárticas, enfrentando alteraciones en su ritmo circadiano y el desafío de mantener horarios artificiales en un lugar donde el tiempo parece congelarse.Si quieres ver el video corto del Timelapse que hizo Dave McKeegan en la Antártida, mostrando el sol durante 24 horas en unos pocos segundos, lo encuentras en YouTube.Pero esto no es solo ciencia: viajamos al pasado para revivir las grandes expediciones antárticas. Desde la audaz travesía de Roald Amundsen en 1911, que lo convirtió en el primer hombre en alcanzar el Polo Sur, hasta la epopeya de supervivencia de Ernest Shackleton y su tripulación, quienes desafiaron los límites humanos para llegar a la isla Georgia del Sur tras el hundimiento del Endurance.

Exploraciones, misterios y el eterno día de la AntártidaEn este episodio de El Siglo 21 es Hoy, te llevamos al corazón de la Antártida durante el verano austral, cuando el Sol nunca se oculta. A través de relatos fascinantes y hechos históricos, exploramos el fenómeno del Sol de medianoche y su impacto en el mundo natural, la ciencia y las grandes expediciones polares.➜ All music used in this episode is licensed under Audiio and Creative Commons licenses.Descubre cómo la inclinación de 23,5 grados del eje terrestre genera este espectáculo único en las regiones polares y cómo afecta la vida silvestre, como los pingüinos emperador y las focas de Weddell, que aprovechan la claridad para cazar bajo el hielo. También hablamos de los científicos que trabajan en las estaciones antárticas, enfrentando alteraciones en su ritmo circadiano y el desafío de mantener horarios artificiales en un lugar donde el tiempo parece congelarse.Si quieres ver el video corto del Timelapse que hizo Dave McKeegan en la Antártida, mostrando el sol durante 24 horas en unos pocos segundos, lo encuentras en YouTube.Pero esto no es solo ciencia: viajamos al pasado para revivir las grandes expediciones antárticas. Desde la audaz travesía de Roald Amundsen en 1911, que lo convirtió en el primer hombre en alcanzar el Polo Sur, hasta la epopeya de supervivencia de Ernest Shackleton y su tripulación, quienes desafiaron los límites humanos para llegar a la isla Georgia del Sur tras el hundimiento del Endurance.

In contrast to Scott's South Pole expedition, Amundsen's expedition benefited from good equipment, appropriate clothing, and a fundamentally different primary task (Amundsen did no surveying on his route south and is known to have taken only two photographs). Amundsen had a better understanding of dogs and their handling, and he used of skis more effectively. He pioneered an entirely new route to the Pole, and they returned. In Amundsen's own words: "Victory awaits him who has everything in order -- luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck." Short accounts by other members of the party are appended.

In 1910, Roald Amundsen and the Fram set off on what the world thought was an expedition to the Arctic. Instead, Amundsen sailed to Antarctica - his intention to make a run at the South Pole. It would set up a dramatic (and tragic) race for the pole with British explorers Robert Falcon Scott. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

“In that instant they felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. Though they had failed dismally even to come close to the expedition's original objective, they knew now that somehow they had done much, much more than ever they set out to do.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! If you love exploration books as much as we do, you'll definitely enjoy this episode. Today, we're talking about Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. Join us as we explore Shackleton's legendary expedition, where a crew of 28 men faced nearly two years of extreme conditions after their ship became trapped in ice. We cover a wide range of topics including: How Shackleton's leadership prevented descent into madness Physical vs. mental challenges in extreme survival situations Were previous generations tougher than we are today? Antarctic exploration's parallels to modern space missions The life-or-death decisions in the final rescue attempt And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

We begin the episode with a tangent on our favorite blender, health insurance plans, and protein powder. (5:44) We begin our discussion of Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Nat shares a unique perspective, having read the book during his own trip to Antarctica. (09:15) The timeline of Shackleton's expedition spanned from August 1914 to September 1916, marking nearly two years of survival against impossible odds. Later on, Shackleton would help rescue another stranded crew in January 1917. (11:16) Endurance draws from the crew's journal entries, a common practice during the age of exploration when survival wasn't guaranteed. We discuss how these historical records parallel potential Mars missions in the future. (13:46) We explore current Mars exploration initiatives across the globe. China aims for a sample return mission by 2030, SpaceX targets 2028 for their missions, and India continues to advance their rover program. (18:01) The core of Shackleton's story unfolds: an attempted Antarctic crossing, leading to a two-year fight for survival. Despite the world presuming them dead, every crew member survived, with many later serving in World War I, highlighting their extraordinary resilience. (22:11) "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." Shackleton's legendary recruitment advertisement exemplified his unique approach to crew selection. Nat, Neil, and Adil also discuss whether the people of previous generations were tougher than we are today. (30:30) Shifting the conversation to growing up in the pre-Internet era. We reminisce about outdoor adventures, early video games, and how different forms of entertainment shaped our imaginations compared to today. (35:54) The physical hardships endured by the crew were severe, with frostbite being a constant threat. Shackleton's leadership proved crucial, maintaining strict schedules and discipline to prevent the crew from succumbing to despair during their long wait trapped in ice. (39:26) We draw parallels between Shackleton's earlier failures and the Apollo 13 mission. (42:41) The type of ship they chose for the journey actually had a huge impact on the outcome. Its specific shape made it vulnerable to being trapped within the large blocks of ice. (46:31) National parks and the preservation of nature. There are very few places left in the country where there is no light pollution at all. (49:43) After a year on the ship and another camping on ice, they modified their lifeboats for a perilous journey to Elephant Island. Shackleton's team then faced the task of scaling mountains without proper gear and navigating treacherous waters. (55:12) Nat, Neil, and Adil debate whether the physical or mental challenges were the most difficult to overcome in this expedition. Would you rather have been on the boat with Shackleton, or waiting for the boat to return for rescue? (1:01:32) The book itself has an interesting publishing history. Though it achieved only modest sales during Lansing's lifetime, it found massive success about a decade after his death. (1:07:49) We reflect on a few other books we've read on energy. If you have any recommendations, send them our way! (1:13:07) A discussion about current political leadership's understanding of technology and its implications for policy decisions. (1:20:55) The 'Make American Healthy Again' efforts, healthcare system incentives, and potential future programs in the U.S. What is to come under the new administration? (1:24:59) It wouldn't be an episode of MYT without a little crypto and meme coin talk! (1:34:58) That concludes this episode!
