Podcasts about Antigua

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Jake Kelsick, a seasoned kitesurfer, wing foiler, and content creator from the beautiful island of Antigua. Joining Luc from his island paradise, Jake shares his lifelong passion for water sports, his journey from early kiting days to running a successful school, and the evolution of foiling in a tropical haven. From epic adventures in Bora Bora to dissecting ideal setups for beginners and pros, Jake offers an authentic glimpse into island life, the thrill of progression, and the joy of sharing the stoke with newcomers.- Island Roots and Early Days: Jake reflects on growing up in Antigua, getting hooked on kitesurfing since 2003, and how the island's warm waters, reefs, and consistent winds made it a dream spot. He discusses the shift from kiting to wing foiling, the local culture's relaxed vibe, and standout locations like Half Moon Bay for rolling waves.- Building a Water Sports School: Jake dives into starting Kelsick Kiteboarding (now expanding to water sports) in 2020 amid COVID, transitioning from pro freeriding to teaching 50/50 kiting and winging. He shares insights on demographics (mostly 30-50+ adventurers), the forgiving conditions for learning, and why Antigua strikes a balance between beginner-friendly and progression-focused—plus tips on affordability compared to spots like Bonaire.- Adventures and Pro Journey: From a wild birthday invite to Bora Bora's aquarium-like lagoons (saved by kite foiling in light winds) to competing in Russia and demo tours, Jake recounts standout trips that expanded his horizons. He talks about the realities of pro life—cool perks but tricky monetization—and how content creation bridged the gap, evolving from DVDs to YouTube gems like "Cruise Mode."- Gear Evolution and Teaching Tips: Jake breaks down his North gear loyalty, from beginner setups to high-performance foils (like the SF series), and how tech advancements made winging accessible. He emphasizes board sizing, foil progression behind boats, and why winging lowers barriers vs. kiting—allowing safer self-practice and quicker stoke moments, even for cold-water riders.- Community and Future Vibes: The conversation explores winging's explosive growth, its potential to rival windsurfing by attracting foil newcomers, and the addictive "rep game" of foiling. Jake highlights family life (with his wife and young daughter joining the fun), the transformative power of sessions for mental reset, and Antigua's long season (November-July) as a home base for camps and content.- Looking Ahead: Jake teases more island explorations like the Cook Islands, gear tweaks for evolving sports, and growing his school—while keeping the focus on fun, safe progression for all ages.Follow Jake - https://www.instagram.com/jakekelsick/

Following on from yesterday's episode, it's time for more chat about our old work bosses. Well, that was the plan but in true Chatabix fashion, David and Joe soon get diverted from the task at hand. So instead you can expect discussions about David's old VHS copy of MMA fights, not doing much work as a petrol station attendant in the 90s, travel plans, Joe's fears of Thailand and David's long forgotten dreams about moving to Antigua.

In dieser Folge von Mein Abenteuer erzählt Janik Protung von einer außergewöhnlichen Reise: 49 Tage im Ruderboot über den Atlantik, von La Gomera bis nach Antigua. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Danny stellte er sich beim härtesten Ruderrennen der Welt Wind, Wellen und der eigenen Erschöpfung – ohne Motor, ohne Segel, nur mit purer Willenskraft. Janik spricht über den Moment, als ihr Boot kenterte, über den Kampf gegen Müdigkeit und über das unbeschreibliche Gefühl, nach 5000 Kilometern endlich Land zu sehen. Unter dem Motto Fuelling Dreams ruderten die beiden außerdem für den guten Zweck, um Bildungsprojekte auf Bali zu unterstützen. Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Freundschaft, Mut und die Kraft, Träume wahr werden zu lassen.

BIO Niamh McAnally is an Irish-born bestselling author, keynote & corporate speaker, former TV director, and youngest daughter of the late BAFTA award-winning actor, Ray McAnally, and actor, Ronnie Masterson. Niamh has traveled all over the world and lived and worked as a volunteer in many island nations in the Caribbean and the South Pacific. In 2016 she helped a solo sailor crew his boat from Florida to the Bahamas. It was only supposed to last a month. Niamh soon realized she had not only found the life she loved but also the love of her life. She and Captain Gary have sailed as far north as Maine in the USA and to Bonaire off the northern coast of South America. With toes in the sand in Antigua, Captain and Crew became Husband and Wife! Many of her stories are inspired by her travels on land and at sea. Flares Up: A Story Bigger Than The Atlantic was conceived in Antigua when she witnessed Paul Hopkins and Phil Pugh cross the finish line after rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. The book was shortlisted in the 2023 Sunday Times Vikki Orvice Award. Her memoir Following Sunshine: A Voyage Around the Mind, Around the World, Around the Heart will be released in 2024. Her short story Haul Out is featured in the anthology A Page from My Life, and she has been published in The Journal, Caribbean Compass, Sail, The Irish Times Abroad, Writing.ie and Subsea magazines.

La medicina china antigua consideraba al cuerpo humano sagrado

¡El Panteón Romano es un monumento excepcional! Construido por los romanos en el siglo I a. C., es un ejemplo de verdadera proeza arquitectónica, con su notable tamaño y su cúpula, que ha sido la cúpula más grande del mundo durante 13 siglos. Su construcción está envuelta en misterio: ¿Cómo sostienen sus cimientos un monumento tan poderoso? ¿Cómo se sostiene la cúpula cuando no hay un solo pilar a la vista? A pesar de haber sido destruido más de una vez, el Panteón sigue en pie en el centro de Roma, un punto turístico con 9 millones de visitantes cada año. También ha sido la inspiración para múltiples edificios en todo el mundo.

Like many people, I enjoy traveling. However, as I have found in recent years, I don't travel as frequently as the young people in our office. Many of them think nothing of traveling to Europe for vacation, or to somewhere warm like Jamaica, Bermuda, or Antigua over our Christmas break. While I've been to most states and traveled across our borders a few times, I still want to see the USA on a greater scale before my time is up. I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that claimed the average American has only visited seven states. I find that hard to believe. Naturally, I decided to do some research...

En este nuevo episodio de Luxus Mensae viajamos a la Roma imperial para hablar de Apicio, ese personaje fascinante que encarna la sofisticación —y el exceso— en la mesa. Descubrimos cómo su nombre quedó ligado al “De re coquinaria”, la recopilación de 499 recetas en diez capítulos que constituye la colección culinaria más antigua del mundo, con platos de carnes, salsas, mariscos y guisos refinados. Recorremos la historia de esta obra excepcional, desde su hallazgo en el monasterio de Fulda por Enoch de Ascoli en 1454 hasta sus ediciones renacentistas y modernas. También nos detenemos en el choque cultural que hizo de Apicio un personaje polémico: la pugna entre la sobriedad romana y el lujo oriental que escandalizaba a los moralistas, dando origen incluso a leyes suntuarias. De hecho, el propio nombre de este podcast, Luxus Mensae, nace de un pasaje de Tácito, que narra cómo los excesos en la mesa reflejaban los cambios morales del Imperio. En la sección 'Lee la etiqueta' exploramos cómo la tecnología puede ayudarnos hoy a buscar y elegir mejor los alimentos. Y cerramos con una noticia arqueogastronómica: el hallazgo en Sicilia, en la antigua Finziade, de una ánfora de 2.300 años con restos de garum o pescado salado, un testimonio único del refinamiento gastronómico mediterráneo.

Get ready for the ultimate Miami Carnival 2025 Soca Mix — packed with pure Caribbean energy, island anthems, and endless vibes! From Trinidad to Barbados, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia to St. Vincent — this mix brings the full carnival experience straight to your speakers.

What should Christians think about a statue that was erected in Antigua resembling the statue in Daniel's prophecy? Can the Muslim's god, Allah, be found in the Bible under a different name? Who are the Rechabites in Jeremiah 35? What is the duty of a man to his wife and household? Is a man supposed to be financially dependent on his wife? Can a divorced man, whose wife is in the same congregation of a Bible-believing church, be a deacon of that church? If a man should consider how a woman responds to her father before marrying her, what should a Christian woman who keeps a distance from her father due to a hard past do - how should she introduce her father in conversation without dishonoring him? How do you decide where to go for premarital counselling if you are from different denominations? Should a Christian settle for less? What advice do you have to keep a marriage strong and healthy? Listen as Pastor/Dr. David Murphy discusses these and other listener questions.

Le guitariste Thomas Naïm est le seul guitariste au monde à proposer un album solo sur Hendrix May This Be Love avec la participation du spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou. (Rediffusion) La #SessionLive reçoit Thomas Naïm pour la sortie de l'album May This Be Love et le spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou ! C'est après un stage d'été au Berklee College of Music de Boston et des cours à l'American School of Modern Music à Paris, que Thomas Naïm fonde avec la chanteuse Joyce Hozé le duo Tom & Joyce. Influencé par la MPB, la bossa nova des 60's et le jazz, le groupe enregistre deux albums : Tom & Joyce sorti en 2002 (Yellow Productions/East West) et Antigua en 2005 (Yellow Productions/Tommy Boy) sur lequel participe le légendaire batteur Tony Allen et dont certains morceaux seront remixés par des producteurs de dance music parmi les plus reconnus (Masters At Work, François Kevorkian ou Bob Sinclar). Par la suite, Thomas Naïm sera sollicité pour accompagner sur scène ou en studio de nombreux artistes venant d'horizons parfois très différents parmi lesquels Youn Sun Nah, Hugh Coltman, Hindi Zahra, Sébastien Tellier, Ala.ni, Mayra Andrade, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Blick Bassy, Idrissa Diop, Bob Sinclar, Salomé de Bahia, Brisa Roché, Bernard Lavilliers, Albin de la Simone, Michel Fugain, Claire Diterzi, Renan Luce… Il mène en parallèle depuis plusieurs années une carrière solo à la tête d'un trio avec le bassiste Marcello Giuliani et le batteur Raphaël Chassin avec lesquels il enregistre en 2018 l'album Desert Highway. En 2020, Thomas Naïm va confronter son trio aux compositions du maître Jimi Hendrix et enregistrer l'album Sounds of Jimi. L'idée de départ n'est pas de reprendre les titres d'Hendrix tel quel mais de trouver pour chaque morceau une esthétique plus personnelle, et à l'exception de trois titres chantés par Hugh Coltman et Célia Kameni, de privilégier l'approche instrumentale. L'album accueillera également en invités Erik Truffaz à la trompette et Camille Bazbaz à l'orgue. En 2022, il retourne en studio avec son trio augmenté de l'organiste/pianiste de Marc Benham pour enregistrer, sous la houlette du réalisateur grand angle Daniel Yvinec, On the Far Side, un album consacré à ses propres compositions dont la sortie est prévue pour février 2023. Thomas Naïm y retrouve ses premières amours, le Jazz, qu'il mêle à ses influences de toujours la pop, le rock psychédélique, les bandes originales de films et mille autres choses. Laurent Bardainne (saxophone) souffle sur trois titres un vent créatif qui donne à cet album unique une force et une couleur presque mystique. Avec May This Be Love, Thomas Naïm devient le 1er guitariste au monde, à reprendre Hendrix en guitare solo. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Hey Joe Live RFI - The Wind Cries Mary, extrait de l'album - Purple Haze Live RFI Line Up : Thomas Naïm, guitare. Son : Benoît Le Tirant, Camille Roch, Mathias Taylor. Album May This Be Love (Rootless Blues 2025). Site -  YouTube - Bandcamp.   Yazid Manou est journaliste, relations presse et spécialiste de Jimi Hendrix en France. en 1990, il organise un concert à l'Olympia pour les 20 ans de la disparition du guitariste américain. Il est le héros du roman « Blues pour Jimi Hendrix » écrit par Stéphane Koechlin. Yazid Manou est le gardien d'un mort comme Anubis dans la mythologie égyptienne, Jimi Hendrix. Il porte des fleurs sur sa tombe, soigne sa postérité, veille à sa gloire... En 1990, vingt ans après la mort de Jimi le 18 septembre 1970, il a organisé le festival « Jimi's Back » à Paris pendant une semaine dont une soirée à l'Olympia qui a bouleversé sa vie. Il y a invité de nombreux artistes pour reprendre les thèmes du bluesman. Il a convié bien sûr en premier lieu l'ex-bassiste de Jimi, Noel Redding, personnage douloureux et attachant, frappé quelques mois plus tôt par un deuil terrible, la mort de sa fiancée Carol Appleby dans un accident de voiture. Depuis, la vie de Yazid - devenu par la suite attaché de presse indépendant - est rythmée par les nouvelles de la « famille Hendrix », disputes avec la soeur adoptive Janie, rencontre avec ceux qui l'ont connu (B. B. King, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Johnny Hallyday, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal), sorties d'albums (Jimi a davantage publié de disques une fois mort que vivant), disparition des témoins, Noel, Buddy Miles, Monika Dannemann (dernière compagne), Al Hendrix (son père) puis Mitch Mitchell. Il a construit sa vie autour d'un mort, de la mort en général. Yazid est un infatigable marcheur africain arpentant le pavé parisien en compagnie de son fantôme.

C'est après un stage d'été au Berklee College of Music de Boston et des cours à l'American School of Modern Music à Paris, que Thomas Naïm fonde avec la chanteuse Joyce Hozé le duo Tom & Joyce. Influencé par la MPB, la bossa nova des 60's et le jazz, le groupe enregistre deux albums : Tom & Joyce sorti en 2002 (Yellow Productions/East West) et Antigua en 2005 (Yellow Productions/Tommy Boy) sur lequel participe le légendaire batteur Tony Allen et dont certains morceaux seront remixés par des producteurs de dance music parmi les plus reconnus (Masters At Work, François Kevorkian ou Bob Sinclar). Par la suite, Thomas Naïm sera sollicité pour accompagner sur scène ou en studio de nombreux artistes venant d'horizons parfois très différents parmi lesquels Youn Sun Nah, Hugh Coltman, Hindi Zahra, Sébastien Tellier, Ala.ni, Mayra Andrade, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Blick Bassy, Idrissa Diop, Bob Sinclar, Salomé de Bahia, Brisa Roché, Bernard Lavilliers, Albin de la Simone, Michel Fugain, Claire Diterzi, Renan Luce… Il mène en parallèle depuis plusieurs années une carrière solo à la tête d'un trio avec le bassiste Marcello Giuliani et le batteur Raphaël Chassin avec lesquels il enregistre en 2018 l'album Desert Highway. En 2020, Thomas Naïm va confronter son trio aux compositions du maître Jimi Hendrix et enregistrer l'album Sounds of Jimi. L'idée de départ n'est pas de reprendre les titres d'Hendrix tel quel mais de trouver pour chaque morceau une esthétique plus personnelle, et à l'exception de trois titres chantés par Hugh Coltman et Célia Kameni, de privilégier l'approche instrumentale. L'album accueillera également en invités Erik Truffaz à la trompette et Camille Bazbaz à l'orgue. En 2022, il retourne en studio avec son trio augmenté de l'organiste/pianiste de Marc Benham pour enregistrer, sous la houlette du réalisateur grand angle Daniel Yvinec, On the Far Side, un album consacré à ses propres compositions dont la sortie est prévue pour février 2023. Thomas Naïm y retrouve ses premières amours, le Jazz, qu'il mêle à ses influences de toujours la pop, le rock psychédélique, les bandes originales de films et mille autres choses. Laurent Bardainne (saxophone) souffle sur trois titres un vent créatif qui donne à cet album unique une force et une couleur presque mystique. Avec May This Be Love, Thomas Naïm devient le 1er guitariste au monde, à reprendre Hendrix en guitare solo.

Il est le héros du roman « Blues pour Jimi Hendrix » écrit par Stéphane Koechlin. Yazid Manou est le gardien d'un mort comme Anubis dans la mythologie égyptienne, Jimi Hendrix. Il porte des fleurs sur sa tombe, soigne sa postérité, veille à sa gloire... En 1990, vingt ans après la mort de Jimi le 18 septembre 1970, il a organisé le festival « Jimi's Back » à Paris pendant une semaine dont une soirée à l'Olympia qui a bouleversé sa vie. Il y a invité de nombreux artistes pour reprendre les thèmes du bluesman. Il a convié bien sûr en premier lieu l'ex-bassiste de Jimi, Noel Redding, personnage douloureux et attachant, frappé quelques mois plus tôt par un deuil terrible, la mort de sa fiancée Carol Appleby dans un accident de voiture. Depuis, la vie de Yazid - devenu par la suite attaché de presse indépendant - est rythmée par les nouvelles de la « famille Hendrix », disputes avec la soeur adoptive Janie, rencontre avec ceux qui l'ont connu (B. B. King, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Johnny Hallyday, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal), sorties d'albums (Jimi a davantage publié de disques une fois mort que vivant), disparition des témoins, Noel, Buddy Miles, Monika Dannemann (dernière compagne), Al Hendrix (son père) puis Mitch Mitchell. Il a construit sa vie autour d'un mort, de la mort en général. Yazid est un infatigable marcheur africain arpentant le pavé parisien en compagnie de son fantôme.

I first spoke with Michelle Lee back in July, 2017 when she shared her goal to complete the world's toughest nautical challenge; the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.A 5,300km / 2900 nautical mile solo, unassisted and self-supported ocean rowing event across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain all the way to Antigua in the Caribbean.In February 2019, Michelle achieved her goal and, in the process, became the first Australian woman to row across an ocean.Now there's one key piece of information you need to know; Michelle did not come from a rowing background.At the time she set the goal, she had never pulled an oar through the water.In fact, when Michelle pulled out of the dock at the start of the race, she had never rowed in the open ocean (all her training had been confined to inside Sydney Heads). Wow!So in this week's episode of Sparta Chicks Radio, Michelle rejoins me to share what's happened in the last 18 months since we first spoke, as well as how this incredible race unfolded for her.

En Turquía, un equipo de arqueólogos localizó la que sería la calle más antigua del mundo, estimada en más de 10.000 años. El hallazgo ocurrió Anatolia Central. Investigadores de la Universidad de Ankara destacaron que esta estructura podría representar el inicio del concepto urbano en el periodo Neolítico. La calle tiene una forma rectangular de 1 metro de ancho por 8 metros de largo y se sitúa cronológicamente en el período precerámico, alrededor del 7450 a. C., una época en la que aún no existía una producción de cerámica.

La vivienda entra en zona roja: vuelve a la mesa con una potencial renta antigua 2.0 con contratos ultralargos que prometen estabilidad al inquilino pero tensionan la rentabilidad del propietario. Al mismo tiempo, el sector mira a 2030 con vértigo: si no se construye más y el negocio se traslada a gestión en cartera, muchos agentes e inmobiliarias podrían quedarse sin rotación suficiente para sobrevivir. En fiscalidad, los no residentes extracomunitarios denuncian trato desigual frente a propietarios UE/EEE y pelean por deducciones reales en sus alquileres; el mensaje es claro: quien invierte desde fuera quiere seguridad jurídica. Y en okupación, se abre paso una idea sencilla: no hay blindaje si no hay vulnerabilidad acreditada; si no se demuestra con informes, procede el desalojo. En este vídeo te explicamos qué significa cada pieza para tus derechos como propietario, cómo proteger tus contratos, qué esperar de los agentes inmobiliarios en 2030 y dónde está la oportunidad para el inversor paciente.  ✅¿Necesitas un PSI (Personal Shopper Inmobiliario) para acompañarte a invertir en bienes raíces en la Com.Madrid?: magnatesladrillo@gmail.com ✅Si vas en serio «La Biblia del Magnate del Ladrillo» está AQUÍ ✅

This is episode 238 and it's going to be full of legal back and forth, all about the Langalibalele Rebellion, another little war as the London times called it — it's action at Bushman's River Pass after which British engineers will be sent to blow up bits of the Drakensberg. In 1873 Benjamin Chilly Campbell Pine was reappointed as Lieutenant-Governor of Natal. Pine was a career officer in the British Colonial Services, and this was the second time he was taking up the post of Lieutenant Governor in Natal. His first stint was logged between April 1850 to March 1855 and Pinetown on the hills above Durban is named after him. Then he spent time in the Gold Coast in Ghana, then the West Indies, as Governor of the Leeward Islands and Antigua. His second stint was cut short largely because of how he was going to deal with the Langalibalele affair. Two other colonials will feature through our story this episode, one being Theophilus Shepstone the Secretary of Native Affairs in Natal, and the other was Bishop John Colenso who was a liberal humanist and the implacable enemy of most British settlers. Pine's administration had to contend with the "Shepstone System," a policy of indirect rule developed by Theophilus Shepstone. This controversially separated African and European populations and was a dominant force in Natal's governance during Pine's tenure. While Pine and Shepstone collaborated, their administrations also faced criticism from white settlers over issues of land, labor, and the financing of native policy. The other main character of our tale today was Langalibalele, the hereditary chief of the Hlubi tribe from around 1836. After fleeing Zululand in 1849, he and his fellow refugees were granted land by the colonial authorities in the Escourt District, west of the town along the Msuluzi and Mtshezi Rivers. The town was laid out by Colonel Estcourt In 1847 and named after the British officer. The land the amaHlubi were handed was technically not for free, their obligations included protecting the colony from the San Raiders some galloping in from as far away as the Maluti Mountains. Langalibalele and his people were part of the Shepstone System, granted their own territory seperated from white farms. Ten years after arriving in their fertile rolling hills, Langalibalele headed off to Iswatini, Swaziland, where he'd fetched his head wife, uMzamose in 1857. There was some confusion about what the amaHlubi were expected to do. Essentially, their role was to form a buffer zone in the region and were even presented with some guns for that purpose, and once jobs opened up on the diamond mines, hundreds of amaHlubi men headed off to labour in Griqualand West, returning with valuable goods like horses, and more guns. The people flourished through the 1860s and into the early 1870s and were at peace with the colonial farmers, growing from 7 000 to 10 000 souls, with 15 000 head of cattle. The original 364 square kilometres of their land extended to more than 700 square kilometres. But the relationship with the British was riven by confusion and distrust. Natal was isolated from the hinterland by the formidabble Drakensberg Mountains, and was surrounded by black nations, thus increasing the paranoia of the settlers. The amaThembu and Xhosa to the south were respected, not to mention the amaZulu to the north East. Communication with the Cape was slow along the few roads and by sea, there were also few transport corridors in Natal itself which engendering a feeling of insecurity among the colonists.In Early March 1873 John Macfarlane singled Langalibalele and the amaHlubi out and demanded the registration of their guns in terms of Law 5. Langalibalele said he was too busy and suffering from an illness, and could not be expected to head off across such as vast area looking for his 2000 men and counting their guns. A war was brewing.

Jamaica Kincaid began writing for The New Yorker in 1974, reporting about life in the magazine's home city. She was a young immigrant from Antigua, then a British colony; she had been sent to New York—against her wishes—to work as a nanny. Soon began a love affair with New York's literary scene. “I had to change my name,” she tells David Remnick, “because Elaine Potter Richardson could not write about Elaine Potter Richardson. But Jamaica Kincaid could write about Elaine Potter Richardson.” Kincaid went on to write books about her family; about the dissolution of a marriage; about Antigua, and what colonialism feels like to people on a small island; and later gardening, which she took up with a passion after moving to Vermont. She once said, “Everything I write is autobiographical, but none of it is true in the sense of a court of law. You know, a lie is just a lie. The truth, on the other hand, is complicated.” Kincaid's new book, “Putting Myself Together,” is a collection of pieces that span almost half a century in print, and includes her first published piece in The New Yorker—an account of the West Indian-American Day Parade of 1974.
