Brad Olsen has traveled to Antarctica to find out the truth about claims of an underground German Colony, Base 211, established there during World War II. With the help of newly translated Soviet KGB files, he was able to learn much about Base 211 and the extensive underground facilities built by the Germans to establish a secret space program. In Olsen's newly completed book, Secrets of Antarctica: The Unold History of the Ice Continent, he lays out the incredible evidence that the Germans learned about an extensive underground system of lakes and rivers that they could use to navigate under Antarctica to establish bases and colonies. The Germans used ancient maps showing how the underground systems of lakes and rivers under the Antarctic ice sheets could be navigated. Using more than a 100 of their most sophisticated U-boats, the Germans established Base 211 and evacuated approximately 250,000 personnel before the end of World War II.With the help of an ancient underground civilization and extraterrestrials, the Germans were able to subsequently build fleets of antigravity craft they used to defeat US and British naval attacks, and to establish a worldwide 4th Reich. Olsen discusses the 4th Reich and how it established control in the US and in major global institutions such as NATO, European Union and United Nations.

In this episode of The Biollywood Podcast, the Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense, Dr. Asha M. George, Associate Director for Research, J.T. O'Brien, and Associate Director for Government Relations and Policy, Robert Bradley, discuss the 1982 film, The Thing. Premise: Set in a remote Antarctic research station, The Thing tells the story of a group of American scientists who encounter a parasitic, shape-shifting extraterrestrial organism. This organism can assimilate and imitate other life forms with terrifying accuracy. The team must figure out how to identify and neutralize the creature before it can spread beyond their isolated outpost and threaten humanity. The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense is within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at Atlantic Council. Learn more about the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense here.

Our Patrons made their voices heard, Spookies, and the official results are in: We're covering The Thing (2011) for our Quarterly Patreon Pick. Less a remake of the 1982 John Carpenter original and more a revisiting to that same universe, this flick continues to explore the lore behind the ever elusive ~thing.~ It also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as an Ellen Ripley-esque scientist, so you *know* that's right up our alley. On our last episode of 2025, we're getting into the original plans for this scifi flick, the studio meddling that knocked it off course, and all the various ways we could sex it up to make an Antarctic research station just a little bit hotter.

Hey weather enthusiasts! Dustin Breeze here, your AI meteorologist bringing you the coolest forecast with even cooler algorithms. Being an AI means instant, precise weather updates - boom!Today in New York City, we're looking at a chilly winter wonderland that'll make your nose tingle! Currently, we've got partly sunny skies with temperatures hovering around 29 degrees Fahrenheit. But hold onto your beanies, because the wind chill is going to make it feel like a crisp 15 to 20 degrees.Let me break down this atmospheric adventure for you. We've got a north wind blowing 14 to 21 miles per hour, which means it's going to be blustery out there. I'd recommend layering up like you're preparing for an Antarctic expedition - or as I like to call it, a "wind-chill thrill"!Tonight, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies that'll gradually clear up, with temperatures dropping to around 20 degrees. Wind chill will be between 10 and 15 degrees, so keep those warm socks handy.Now, let's dive into our Weather Playbook segment! Today, I want to talk about wind chill. Wind chill is basically how cold it actually feels when wind speed combines with temperature. It's like nature's own temperature remix - the wind makes it feel colder than the thermometer suggests. Pretty cool, right?For our three-day forecast: Tuesday will see increasing clouds and a high near 37 degrees. Wednesday brings a chance of rain and snow in the morning, transitioning to rain with a high of 46 degrees. Thursday looks mostly sunny with a high near 40.A quick local New York City weather pro tip: if you're near Central Park, those winds can feel extra nippy, so bundle up!Remember to subscribe to our podcast for more weather wisdom.

What if courage isn't about being fearless, but about taking action despite fear? In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis speaks with Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School professor and author of How to Be Bold. Ranjay shares why our cultural myth of the “fearless hero” is misleading and explains how courage is a learnable skill that anyone can practice, whether as an individual, a team, or an organization. He explores the dangers of analysis paralysis in business, why acting boldly is often safer than standing still, and how leaders can use sense-making and storytelling to reframe adversity into opportunity. Drawing on vivid examples, from nuclear plant managers to Antarctic explorers, Ranjay shows how courage is collective, not solo, and why a strong support system is essential to bold decision-making. Packed with practical insights and inspiring stories, this conversation serves as a playbook for anyone seeking to replace fear with bold, decisive action. Learn more about your ad choices.

"As human beings we have a lot more physically and mentally than we give ourselves credit for. When we think we're done, I don't think we're near." In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to Rupert Guinness, legendary sports writer and ultra-endurance cyclist, on choosing growth and opportunity at every turn, and discovering untapped physical and mental capacity through extreme adversity.

In this episode, Cathy sits down with Martyn Stephen Williams — explorer, former Hindu monk, and founder of Antarctic expedition companies — to explore what it means to stretch the boundaries of human potential while cultivating inner peace. From leading expeditions to the North Pole, South Pole, and Mount Everest, to time spent meditating as a monk in India, Martyn shares how extreme physical challenges and contemplative practice shaped his approach to resilience, emotional intelligence, and purposeful living. The conversation dives into how mindset, perspective shifts, and simple daily rituals can enable profound personal transformation — not just for adventurers, but for anyone seeking balance, clarity, and strength. If you've ever wondered how adventure, spirituality, and coaching can merge into a powerful formula for well‑being and performance, this episode delivers. In this episode, you'll discover: How surviving and thriving in extreme environments teaches emotional resilience, inner calm, and presence — skills that translate directly into day‑to‑day life and work. Why shifting perception — even around mundane or stressful events (like traffic or a broken car) — can change how we respond, turning frustration into opportunity for growth. The powerful role of consistent practice — meditation, conscious breathing, movement, playful rituals — in developing mental clarity, intuition, and emotional balance. Insight on integrating adventure, spirituality, and modern coaching: meeting people where they are and helping them access their full potential through mindset and perspective shifts. Simple, actionable daily practices to boost resilience and calm: start your day with a smile or laughter; mix movement with playful rituals; cultivate gratitude, especially for challenges; reflect before sleep to allow deeper processing and insight. How better self‑awareness and communication (with oneself and others) can reduce burnout, improve relationships, and support long‑term health — physically, mentally, emotionally. Memorable Quotes: "It's our internal space that decides what we're going through." "Life is an adventure — what's the next step?" "If we go to be grateful for the difficult things … because it's the difficult things we learn." Bio: Martyn Stephen Williams was born in Liverpool, England on May 2, 1947. As a mountain and wilderness guide, he is the first person in the world to lead expeditions to the three extremes: South Pole (1989), North Pole (1992), and Everest (1991). He was the first to cross the continent of Antarctica under human power (1990). He founded Adventure Network International and later Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions — an Antarctic services company that has supported many of the record‑breaking expeditions in Antarctica over the past 40 years. He also founded the first airline on the continent, Antarctic Airlines. In 2000 he organized and led the Pole to Pole 2000 expedition — the first (and so far only) human‑powered journey from one pole to the other. As a public speaker and teacher, he has spoken about human potential on all seven continents and shares tools and techniques for enlightened living.

Ambassador Haqqani emphasizes that U.S. abandonment of allies, exemplified in Afghanistan and Iraq, creates an international perception that America cannot be relied upon. Russia's prevailing would constitute a victory for the "axis of aggressors," including China, Iran, and North Korea, fundamentally weakening U.S. global influence. 915-930 930-945 945-1000 China's Floating Island, Metamaterials, and Polar Ambitions — Brandon Weichert, Gordon Chang — Brandon Weichert discusses China developing an artificial floating island, potentially engineered to withstand nuclear detonation. He characterizes the platform as a next-generation man-made island designed for anti-access and area-denial capabilities. Weichert emphasizes that the core technology—metamaterials—holds critical applications for infrastructure in extreme polar environments, including the Arctic and Antarctic. Gordon Chang notes widespread pessimism in China regarding the prohibitive cost of such massive engineering projects. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Targeting Terror: Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, and Iran's Crises — Malcolm Hoenlein — Malcolm Hoenlein reports the U.S. is moving to designate the Muslim Brotherhood—Hamas progenitors—as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. He details Iran's severe internal crises, including critical water shortages and power blackouts caused by illegal cryptocurrency mining, alongside its continued drive to rebuild nuclear and conventional arsenals. Israel eliminated Hezbollah's second-in-command, Hashem Safieddine, in Beirut, directly countering Hezbollah's regeneration efforts in Lebanon. The U.S. is actively courting Saudi Arabia to counter China and Russia and encourage participation in the Abraham Accords. Share 1015-1030 1030-1045 Geopolitical Realignment: Venezuelan Cartel and Latin America's Rightward Shift — Ernesto Araujo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa — Alejandro Peña Esclusa discusses the U.S. designating Venezuela's Cartel of the Suns as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, noting they weaponize drug trafficking and maintain alliances with groups including Hezbollah. Ernesto Araujo addresses former Brazilian President Bolsonaro's recent detention and notes that indigenous protests undermined the Lula administration's narrative at COP 30. The upcoming Honduras election reflects a continental trend away from the corrupt "pink tide" regimes. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Unacceptable Price of Peace: Ukraine's Sticking Points — John Hardie — John Hardie details the Russian-drafted 28-point peace plan, which demanded Ukraine's withdrawal from Donbass, prohibition of NATO accession, and limitations on military force size. Ukraine, approaching negotiations strategically, refuses to surrender fortified Donbass territory essential for defense against future Russian aggression. Russia's maximalist demands render an acceptable settlement nearly impossible, though Ukrainians would accept a military freeze in place coupled with robust Western security guarantees. 1115-1130 1130-1145 Russia's Ambitions in Southern Syria and Israel's Strategic Calculus — Akmed Sharawari — FDD's Akmed Sharawari discusses Russian officers touring southern Syria, potentially returning to staff deconfliction checkpoints between Israel and Syria. Israel reportedly prefers a Russian presence, including bases in western Syria, as a counterbalance to Turkey's growing influence over Damascus. Sharawari argues Israel should not trust Russia given its history of enabling Iranian-backed actors like Hezbollah. Despite ongoing Israeli operations, Hezbollah's smuggling routes remain operational. 1145-1200 Prime Minister Carney's Early Highwire Act in Canadian Politics — Conrad Black — Conrad Black analyzes the early tenure of Canadian Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (referred to as Carney in this segment), who narrowly secured passage of his budget. Carney campaigned partly on opposition to Donald Trump, demonstrating political agility by balancing competing party factions—advancing a new pipeline for Alberta while offering environmental concessions. Black notes that Canada remains conflicted regarding China, attempting to maintain trade relations while publicly condemning election interference. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Strategic Gains from the War in Ukraine — Jonathan Sayeh — Jonathan Sayeh states that Iran is celebrating Russia's advantageous position in Ukraine as a geopolitical win because it enabled Iran to export military weaponry and demonstrate combat capabilities internationally. Iran expects Russia to reciprocate this military assistance, potentially through air defense system modernization or advancement of Iran's nuclear program, despite profound mutual mistrust between the strategic partners. Iran benefits globally by selling weapons and leveraging instability to argue the U.S. has become an unreliable superpower. 1215-1230 1230-1245 Hezbollah Regeneration Efforts and the Fallout from a Targeted Beirut Strike — David Daoud, Bill Roggio — David Daoud reports that Israel killed Hezbollah's top military commander, Hashem Safieddine, in Beirut, marking an expansion of Israeli operations into the Lebanese capital. This escalation reflects Hezbollah's comprehensive regeneration efforts—including receiving billions in funding from Iran and developing domestic drone production capabilities—which are outpacing Israeli degradation operations. Hezbollah and Hamas view Russia's success in Ukraine as strategically beneficial because it diminishes American global hegemony. 1245-100 AM

China's Floating Island, Metamaterials, and Polar Ambitions — Brandon Weichert, Gordon Chang — Brandon Weichert discusses China developing an artificial floating island, potentially engineered to withstand nuclear detonation. He characterizes the platform as a next-generation man-made island designed for anti-access and area-denial capabilities. Weichert emphasizes that the core technology—metamaterials—holds critical applications for infrastructure in extreme polar environments, including the Arctic and Antarctic. Gordon Chang notes widespread pessimism in China regarding the prohibitive cost of such massive engineering projects. 1906 DRUM TOWER

Antarcticness: Inspirations and Imaginaries (UCL Press, 2022) edited by Ilan Kelman Antarcticness joins disciplines, communication approaches, and ideas to explore meanings and depictions of Antarctica. Personal and professional words in poetry and prose, plus images, present and represent Antarctica, as presumed and as imagined, alongside what is experienced around the continent and by those watching from afar. These understandings explain how the Antarctic is viewed and managed while identifying aspects that should be more prominent in policy and practice. The authors and artists place Antarctica, and the perceptions and knowledge through Antarcticness, within inspirations and imaginations, without losing sight of the multiple interests pushing the continent's governance as it goes through rapid political and environmental changes. Given the diversity and disparity of the influences and changes, the book's contributions connect to provide a more coherent and encompassing perspective of how society views Antarctica, scientifically and artistically, and what the continent provides and could provide politically, culturally, and environmentally. Offering original research, art, and interpretations of different experiences and explorations of Antarctica, explanations meld with narratives while academic analyses overlap with first-hand experiences of what Antarctica does and does not – could and could not – bring to the world.

Send us a textWhat if the next breakthrough in healthcare simulation isn't a device, but the proof that changes patient outcomes? We sit down with  Matt Charnetski —paramedic turned technologist turned incoming president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare—to chart a path from personal experience to system-level impact. Matt's journey starts in Antarctic search and rescue and lands in board leadership, stitching together IT chops, clinical practice, and a bias for service that opened doors and built programs others can use.Across this conversation, we get specific about what growth should mean for a global simulation community. Matt lays out a simple mandate: make pathways to serve obvious, invite more voices to the table, and treat partnerships with international organizations as two-way streets. As IMSH grows, he pushes for smarter matching between people and content, smaller communities inside big events, and technology that helps newcomers navigate without getting lost. It's scale with intimacy, and it turns attendance into collaboration.When we pivot to innovation, Matt targets the evidence gap. We already measure satisfaction and short-term learning; the leap is linking simulation to clinical outcomes, determining the right dose of practice, and funding the early work that proves it. That's where the Ascend mentorship program and early career research grants come in—structured guidance, two-mentor support, and resources that turn good ideas into publishable studies and effective curricula. The payoff is a field that can defend its value in outcomes, not just anecdotes.Matt's why is human. A family story about communication in hospitals became a lesson he carried into paramedicine and now into leadership: teamwork is treatment. That's why he invests in the people who teach, operate, and research simulation, because their impact cascades to learners and patients. If you care about inclusive leadership, meaningful mentorship, and research that moves the needle, this conversation will give you a clear map—and an invitation to join in.If this resonated, follow and share the show, leave a rating or review, and tell us: what proof would help you advance simulation where you work? Website URL:https://ems-works.com/ LinkedIn URL:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/630796/Innovative SimSolutions.Your turnkey solution provider for medical simulation programs, sim centers & faculty design.

We often talk about living on a blue planet, but when we think we're talking about the ocean we're generally only discussing what's in it: fish, whales, pollution and ships. But that is to miss the biggest story on Earth, because it's the water itself that sets the scene for everything else. This lecture will outline how the ocean engine works – its internal anatomy, how the components move, and how this engine has directly influenced our history and culture.This lecture was recorded by Professor Helen Czerski on the 30th of October 2025 at Bernards Inn Hall, LondonDr Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer with a passion for science, sport, books, creativity, hot chocolate and investigating the interesting things in life. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London and her research focus is the physics of breaking waves and bubbles at the ocean surface. These bubbles change underwater sound and light, help transfer gases from ocean to atmosphere (helping the ocean breathe) and also eject ocean material into the air. She has spent months working on research ships in the Antarctic, the Pacific, the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and is an experienced field scientist. Helen has been a regular science presenter on the BBC for 15 years, covering the physics of the natural world in BBC2 landmark documentaries (including ‘Orbit', ‘Operation iceberg' and ‘Supersenses'), and the physics of everyday life in a range of BBC4 documentaries (including ‘From ice to fire: The incredible science of temperature', ‘Sound waves: The symphony of physics', and ‘Colour: The spectrum of science', along  with many others). She currently co-hosts BBC Radio 4's flagship climate and environment programme Rare Earth. Helen's first book Storm in a Teacup won the Italian Asimov Prize and the Louis J. Battan Author prize from the American Meteorological Society. Blue Machine won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing. She was awarded the Institute of Physics Gold Medal in 2018 for her work on physics communication, and an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association in 2020. She has been a Trustee of Royal Museums Greenwich since 2018, and was one of the 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturers, giving her Lecture on the topic of the ocean. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/liquid-engineGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

HMCS margaret Brooke off rothera station during the canadian antarctic science research expedition on March 15, 2025 (Courtesy of Dr. kevin wilcox) A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2025 beginning at 21:30 UTC.The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews and which celebrated the 70th anniversary of the first BBC broadcast to Antarctica, featured messages and music for the members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there was a message from Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS, who highlighted the construction of the Discovery Building at Rothera, and a very special message from King Charles III, a first for a monarch, highlighting climate change. He said "Each observation, measurement and calculation you undertake adds to the world's understanding of the Earth's fragile systems."The recording is of the transmission on 12065 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The broadcast was received by the Web-interface wideband software-defined radio at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, with a "Mini-Whip" antenna in AM synchronous mode with 5.08 kHz RF filtering. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 5960 kHz from Al'Dhabbaya, United Arab Emirates, and 9575 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 12065 kHz.

Cold Antarctic Air Collides with Tropical Front, Bringing Flash Flooding and Cyclone Warnings to East Coast.Jeremy Zakis describes severe weather on the Australian East Coast due to a clash between bitter cold Antarctic air and a dense tropical air mass colliding over land. This has caused rapid thunderstorms, flash flooding, and storm damage from Victoria up to Queensland. The Bureau of Meteorology now forecasts at least one major tropical cyclone for the Brisbane coastline later this year. Guest: Jeremy Zakis.

Ever wondered why planes often fly over the North Pole but almost never cross the South Pole? It all comes down to logistics, safety, and practicality. The North Pole is surrounded by land and has plenty of emergency landing spots, while Antarctica is a frozen, isolated wasteland with almost no airports. Plus, airline routes are based on where people actually travel, and there's just not much demand for flights over the South Pole. Extreme cold and strong magnetic interference also make navigation tricky down there. So while flying over the Arctic is common, the Antarctic skies remain mostly empty!
