Podcasts about Arctic Circle

In 1903, two hunters tracking moose through the frozen Yukon wilderness stumbled upon a massive furrow in the mud — thirty feet long, flanked by clawed footprints the size of a man — and followed the trail straight to something that shouldn't exist. What a French traveler, a gold prospector, and a Jesuit priest would witness clambering out of a remote Arctic ravine defies every assumption about what still roams the Canadian wild.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible that dinosaurs lived recently? Like, in the 1900s? Even more bizarre… could they have been living in the 20th century in, of all places, the Arctic Circle? (The Monster of Partridge Creek) *** On May 3, 1881, Mena Muller and Louis Kettler took the ferry from New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey. They were going to be married in Hoboken, although they each had a spouse already. The legality of the marriage did not concern them; they were returning to Germany and would start a new life there. But somehow their plans went awry; that night Louis Kettler returned to New York alone and ten days later Mena Muller's body was found in New Jersey with a fractured skull. (The Guttenberg Murder) *** Timothy Trespas lives in his home in Brooklyn. And I do mean in his home – as he rarely leaves the house, because he feels he is being stalked everywhere he goes by gangs of individuals. And he's not the only one. (Gang Stalking Paranoia) *** They say walking is good for you… but that depends on where you walk, when you walk, and who you bump into, as one person found out late one night just trying to alleviate the boredom. (The Smiling Man) *** We've all slept in longer than we planned. What's the longest you ever slept in? Three hours? Thirteen hours? Did you ever sleep three days straight? I think I see maybe two hands raised out there. You two are amateurs. One man slept 300 days out of the year. (Never Enough Sleep) *** A man had several unexplained incidents while hiking in a German forest. Shaken by the events, he eventually encounters a man with bright green eyes. Was this a Guardian Angel or was it a gray alien?

From a remote outpost 80 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, FK Bodø/Glimt rose from the windswept coast of Norway to become the most terrifying tactical machine in Europe. In this episode, we deconstruct the "Midnight Men"—a club that ignores traditional football geography to play a relentless, high-octane brand of attacking football that famously dismantled José Mourinho's AS Roma 6–1. We explore Kjetil Knutsen's revolutionary system, the staggering 103-goal season that redefined the Eliteserien, and how their sustainable "develop and sell" model keeps the giants of Europe on their toes. It's a story of frozen pitches, endless sunlight, and a tactical revolution that proves brilliance can bloom even in the coldest corners of the map. FK Bodø/Glimt, Kjetil Knutsen, European football tactics, Jose Mourinho, Norwegian Eliteserien.

Spread across eight nation-states, the Arctic Circle is home to a number of Indigenous peoples. US President Donald Trump's ambitions to take control of Greenland have caused concern but also kindled solidarity amongst these peoples, who call the coldest parts of the world home. FRANCE 24's Isabelle Romero and Luke Brown report from Norway. 

Timber Cleghorn is a survivalist, family man, hunter, Christian, humanitarian aid worker, and the runner up contestant on the hit television series Alone, season 11.    In this episode, Timber shares the process of being selected for the show, he talks about his childhood and what motivated him to apply. We discuss the hardships of his time spent alone in the Arctic Circle, what he did to survive for 83 days, and some of the behind the scenes details that typical viewership never gets to hear. I'm always fascinated with Alone and the people who take on the challenge to go on it. It takes extreme mental fortitude and skillsets that are outside most of our wheelhouses, which I think is why the show does so well. Timber is an authentic guy and does an incredible job on the show. I was really excited to get him on the pod and hear his story!   Timber on Instagram   Memoir of a Wildman link   Show Sponsors!   Phelps Game Calls - The game call company of The Western Huntsman!

In this episode, Robert “Bob” Pizzini is joined by Alexandra (“Big Perm”) Mensing, U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot. Alexandra recounts growing up in Raleigh, the influence of sports and coaching, choosing the Naval Academy, and completing leadership and survival training including NOLS and SERE. She explains aviation and jet selection, E/F single- vs two-seat aircraft, and carrier operations, including Arctic Circle “blue nose” deployment, NATO exercises, and later Middle East operations. She describes combat defensive counter-air missions and becoming the first female naval aviator to employ an AIM-120 to destroy a one-way attack drone threatening the USS Harry S. Truman, alongside the stresses of events like a friendly-fire shootdown and ejections. Alexandra discusses leadership as building team commitment, transitioning to the Navy Reserve, and starting a NASA Langley SkillBridge internship while exploring airlines and business. Learn about all of these and more nuggets of insight in this latest episode of the Elevate Your Leadership podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sports build crucial leadership foundations - volleyball coach Lee demonstrated the balance of pushing hard during practice while being supportive afterward Naval aviation selection is merit-based and gradual - grades, performance, and timing determine assignments from basic flight school through specific aircraft SERE school's psychological training proves invaluable - the mental aspects of survival and humanizing yourself in capture scenarios matter more than physical skills Combat deployments require flexibility - from Arctic operations to Red Sea drone defense, naval aviators adapt to rapidly changing global threats First female naval aviator to employ AIM-120 in combat - shot down one-way attack drone threatening USS Harry S. Truman with radar-guided missile after IR missile failed Leadership means building commitment, not compliance - great leaders make people want to be part of something rather than forcing them through authority Career transitions require accepting when you're "complete" - knowing when you've accomplished your goals allows confident movement to the next chapter QUOTES "Just work hard during practice, but then be super friendly afterwards. So a good balance of being tough to get you to work hard, but then like congratulatory when you did something well" "The standards are the same... If a woman can meet the same standard, then there shouldn't be a difference" "A good leader is someone who can bring everyone together to be on the same team and want to be on the same team" "I felt complete. Like I was content with my career... and I was like proud of all the things I got to do" Connect and learn more from Alexandra "Big Perm" Mensing.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-mensing-4a6109203/ About Robert: Robert is a #1 Best Selling Author, Speaker, Award-Winning CEO, and above all, a Leadership Coach by heart.

Bodø/Glimt continued their sensational debut UEFA Champions League campaign by beating Italian giants Inter in the Arctic Circle – after 80 tons of snow had first been cleared from their pitch, of course.But did you know Norway is home to an even snowier pitch, 1,000km further north at the very top of the world, in a place where seeds are stored for the event of an apocalypse and people carry rifles to the supermarket to stave off polar bear attacks?So who used to play here, on this northernmost 11-a-side pitch in the world? Why did it all change after Russia's invasion of Ukraine? And why do so many Liverpool fans live in this Arctic wilderness?Next, we hop over to Central America, where a family feud is ruining birthdays and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. So what scenario is unfolding here that is happening nowhere else in the world?Finally, there's a club in a local amateur league whose players are forced to play every match at home. Why are they banned from ever playing away? And which former professional footballer is employed to guard them?

The Olympic struggle is more real then many of us actually imagine.In the wake of the recent Winter Olympics , on this episode we dive into the intensity of what it takes to compete at the Olympic level in a sport which is even more physically and psychologically intense then we expected.  It's time to cross 'Threshold'.'Threshold' is the story of Olympic gold medalist and most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the struggle behind her smile– a painful fight with an eating disorder at the peak of her career.  Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her, the film offers an intimate look into the complexity of a disorder that often hides in plain sight yet remains tragically underrepresented in film and misunderstood in care. The film unfolds over the course of a single, high-stakes season, while moving fluidly through time to reveal the deeper roots of Jessie's struggle. Present-day vérité—embedded with Jessie and the U.S. Ski Team—intercuts with formative moments from her past, tracing how a relentless pursuit of perfection took hold early in her career as she internalized the belief that control of body mass was essential to success.  What follows is not a retrospective, but a season lived in real time– where progress and pressure coexist. From grueling races above the Arctic Circle to the first World Cup on American snow in more than twenty-five years, the film tracks a season of mounting pressure at the highest level of sport. This is a stunning feature debut from this duo of filmmaking brothers and we had the chance to sit down with them last week while they were still in Italy with the US Olympic Ski Team and we talked about the origins of the film, getting Jessie to be willing to expose some pretty raw emotions as we truly get a sense of how far these top level competitors will push themselves (often too far) in the search for the top of the podium.'Threshold' is streaming on Peacock after it's debut tonight.

Jeneen Frei Njootli joins this episode of Momus: The Podcast from their ancestral homelands in Old Crow, Yukon, a Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation community north of the Arctic Circle. Njootli reflects on how life in Old Crow has shaped their artistic practice, which is deeply intertwined with community, land, and language—including the Gwich'in language, Dinjii Zhuh k'yuu.Njootli shares an excerpt from fellow community member Brandon Kyikavichik's forthcoming book, Gijiint'aii: Try Your Best, reflecting on Elder Erwin Linklater's teachings about the generational significance of the night sky and constellations in Gwitchin life and culture. Njootli describes “witnessing and being witnessed by the stars,” illustrating the intimate relationship between sky, land, and cultural knowledge in their practice. They also speak about writing as inseparable from making: a constant consideration of language that informs both thought and form, “It's something that I don't know how to not do.”Momus: The Podcast is edited by Jacob Irish, with production assistance from Chris Andrews.Thanks to Jeneen Frei Njootli for their contribution to this season.

Ever wonder how being alone in the wilderness impacts your faith, your views on fatherhood, and how you define fear? On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast, Dr. Amy and Sandy upack all of that with Timber Cleghorn--humanitarian aid worker, survivalist, and cast member on Season 9 of Alone.  Timber shares lessons from a life that spans an off-grid childhood, years in conflict zones, and 83 days alone in the Arctic Circle on the show. The result is a disarmingly honest look at fear, faith, and the daily choices that turn hardship into wisdom.Timber shares how producers of Alone protect the true experiment—extreme isolation—forcing contestants to face themselves without distraction. In that silence, he used scripture to speaking both fear and gratitude out loud to steady his spirit. From missing a moose with millions watching to withstanding online backlash for expressing his faith, he explains how to loosen your shoulders, learn what you can, and take the next right step. Success may be fleeting, but satisfaction can be solid when your identity isn't riding on outcomes.We also go deep on parenting. Timber and his wife are raising three kids while dialing back overseas work, breaking cycles of fear-based decisions, and centering kindness as the family's North Star. He tells a revealing story about choosing connection over performance. We talk about giving children silence, autonomy, and wonder; modeling a beautiful life with God rather than forcing belief; and how conviction beats confidence when facing real-world challenges, including their toddler's developmental needs.If you're curious about resilience, gratitude, and practical ways to bring wildness home—without making your kids replicas of you—this conversation delivers. Expect thoughtful insights on echo chambers, empathy, failure, and why choosing kindness at any scale matters. This episode is different from any we've done in all six seasons so far. In a conversation among parents, we laugh, we cry, we share our faith, and we laugh some more. It's an hour and fifteen minutes of pure joy. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review telling us where you're practicing conviction over confidence right now.ABOUT US:The Brainy Moms is a parenting podcast hosted by cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Moore and Sandy Zamalis.

Tesla Cancels Model S & X. During yesterday's Tesla earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla will end new Model S and Model X sales in Q2, shutting down those production lines to convert them for manufacturing up to 1 million Optimus robots. This marks one of the most dramatic pivots in Tesla's history as the company shifts its focus from flagship vehicles to AI, robotics, and Full Self-Driving (FSD).In this episode, we're joined by special guests  @BeardedTeslaGuy  and  @JoshWest247  two longtime Tesla YouTubers with unmatched perspective. Josh famously completed a cross-Canada road trip in a Model S years ago before moving to the U.S., while Bearded Tesla Guy drove a Cybertruck from Florida to the Arctic Circle. Together, they recently completed an FSD road trip across the United States, giving them a front-row seat to Tesla's autonomous future.We break down what this decision really means, why Tesla is prioritizing Optimus, how FSD fits into Elon Musk's long-term vision, and whether this move signals a fundamental shift away from cars—or the next phase of Tesla's dominance.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Oslo Part 1 Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I had my second solo  90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences. The FAQ is from Amara, who wants to travel more. She asked: How can I plan a trip like you do, Dr. Travelbest? Would I love to take some of the trips you have been on? I'm not sure where to start. I hear a lot from YOU, but how do I do it? Answer: Getting started is like this. Take small trips until you build up your travel muscles. I met a woman yesterday named Teresa who said she needs to read my books and here's why.. She's a single woman in her 70s and relies on her grown children for travel assistance. But they don't always want to go on the same trips as mom. So Teresa needs to manage her travel. I also think she needs to organize her phone apps so she can find the ones she needs quickly. If this is you, stick around. Some of this will flow into your DNA. I know it.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is to plan a Step One Trip. That means you spend the night in a new city, by yourself. You book your room, meals, and itinerary yourself. You come home the next day, refreshed and confident that you can do anything! One night of travel can reset your travel confidence.   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into Step 1 travel. Never heard of it? You will. It's been tried, tested, and trusted since 2020. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern..  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's special destination is Oslo, Norway, Part 1, the intro of Oslo. Today we're heading north — to Oslo, Norway, a city surrounded by fjords and forests. Oslo is one of Europe's most accessible and progressive capitals, offering a calm, safe, and modern environment — perfect for solo women travelers over 50, including those using wheelchairs or mobility aids. Norway is a stunning country with a vibrant population of around 5 million, comparable to Montana's population and area, stretching over 142,000 square miles. The current exchange rate is favorable at $10 USD for 10.1 NOK, making it an exciting time to explore this beautiful land! The renowned Hurtigruten line makes it easy to connect with major cities and highlights throughout the region. There are so many incredible places to visit, including these: - Hammerfest - The breathtaking Svalbard and the Lofoten Islands - Crossing the Arctic Circle and visiting Trondheim—particularly special for Karin - The scenic Flåm Railroad - The unique Vigeland Sculpture Park - The fascinating Fram Museum - Tasty cloudberries - The architectural marvel of the Oslo Opera House - The Well spa, a relaxing retreat at just $65 per day, open from 10 AM to 10 PM, and includes food - Convenient Bus 81 for easy travel Italian traveler Julius highly recommends the Paradox optical illusions exhibit in Oslo—what a fun experience! Additional must-see spots include: https://www.paradoxmuseumoslo.com/en/ - An impressive castle - The immersive Vikings exhibit that captivated Debbie and Erik from Toronto, Canada, whom I had the pleasure of meeting on the train and spending the better part of the day with. https://www.science.org/content/article/thousand-year-old-viking-fortress-reveals-technologically-advanced-society   - The Bergen Hurtigruten line - Stunning views of the Skagerrak Strait - Enchanting Troll Forest - The magical Aurora Domes - An informative visit to Oslo City Hall and the Nobel Peace Center - The enchanting Munch Museum featuring "The Scream." - The lovely Bygdøy neighborhood You pronounce Bygdøy (a peninsula in Oslo) roughly as "BIG-day" (or "BIG-oy"), with the 'y' sounding like the 'i' in 'big' or 'ee' in 'see', and the 'ø' sounding like the 'i' in 'bird' or the 'u' in 'fur', making it close to 'BIG-doy' or 'BÜGD-oy' in Norwegian, but 'Big-Day' is a common English approximation.    For an unforgettable adventure, the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour can be completed in just 2 to 3 days.    Don't miss the dazzling Lofoten Islands, the majestic western fjords, and the charming Longyearbyen in Svalbard, along with Trondheim! Get ready for a fantastic journey through Norway! . - Library - Ibsens Gate - Tysnes Festival: A nearby island with many summer music events. People in Norway typically take two months of vacation. Education and healthcare are publicly funded through high taxes, which support strong economic conditions.  Activities and locations: - Cable car to Mt. Ulriken - Royal Gamlehaugen Castle and Park - Kayaking On my First Day in Oslo, I arrived at the Train station and found my hostel on Karl Lagerfeldsgate Street - Oslo K7 Hostel:  There were minor issues, such as being under construction, but it wasn't a bad experience. My initial Activities included: - Swimming in the sea with Nina from South Korea - Visiting the Opera House, the Munch Museum, and the library - Tasting hot dogs and even shopping for underwear. https://www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/eastern-norway/oslo/oslo-opera-house/   Art, Architecture, and the Waterfront Start your day at the Oslo Opera House, an architectural masterpiece that rises from the fjord like a glacier. The sloping white roof is fully wheelchair-accessible, with gentle ramps leading to panoramic views of the harbor and the city skyline—a truly unique experience. https://www.visitoslo.com/en/articles/the-harbour-promenade/   From there, take a leisurely roll or stroll along the Harbor Promenade, a flat, scenic walkway that connects many of Oslo's major attractions. Stop by the MUNCH Museum, dedicated to artist Edvard Munch, whose "The Scream" is on display here. The museum is fully accessible with wide galleries, elevators, and a riverside café for a light lunch. https://www.munch.no/en/   In the afternoon, visit Akershus Fortress. While some cobblestone areas can be uneven, the main paths and museum sections are accessible, and the views of the Oslofjord are worth the effort. End your first day at Aker Brygge (BRU-geh), a lively waterfront district filled with accessible restaurants and outdoor seating for watching the sunset. Brygge, spelled, B R Y …..(Norwegian/Danish for "jetty" or "quay") is pronounced roughly like "BRÜ-geh" (German ü sound, short 'e' at the end) in Norwegian or "BRŒK-eh" (like 'brok' with a soft 'eh' sound) in Danish, involving a rolled 'r' and a rounded vowel, similar to the start of "burger" but with a distinct "oo" or "uh" vowel sound before the 'g' and 'e'.  https://www.visitoslo.com/en/activities-and-attractions/boroughs/aker-brygge-tjuvholmen/ My missteps: High prices were not expected I was not fully prepared for the high costs of dining and transportation in one of Europe's priciest cities. Many travelers like me mistakenly expect prices to match other European capitals. To make the most of my time, I purchased a 24-hour Oslo Pass for convenient access to public transport and popular attractions. Plus, I used a refillable water bottle and enjoyed picnic meals from local grocery stores and bakeries.        Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news  

Every summer, millions of birds flock to the Arctic Circle to find mates and raise their young. In a study published in 2025, paleontologists found evidence of the earliest known Arctic breeding colony from fossils uncovered in northern Alaska. The site dates back nearly 73 million years when many prehistoric predecessors to modern birds still had teeth; including the gull-like ichthyornitheans and the flightless, loon-like hesperornitheans. These were among several types of ancient avians preserved as both adults and hatchlings, which suggests the site was used for nesting. Just like today, these birds were likely taking advantage of the abundant food provided by the 24-hours of summer daylight.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

The people of Iran are in the midst of one of the country's biggest uprisings — and harshest government crackdowns — since the Iranian Revolution. It started with shopkeepers in bazaars closing their doors at the end of December in protest of the plummeting Iranian rial and economic distress. But demonstrations soon spread to universities and across the country to every single province. Working-class Iranians wanted relief — both from the inflation crisis and U.S sanctions.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy speaks with Hooman Majd, an Iranian American writer and journalist, who explains what sparked the protests and the government's brutal response. “I don't think in the history of Iran, even during the Islamic Revolution, have we seen this number of fatalities.” says Majd. “The death toll is staggering. Really, because that death toll is staggering, what's happened is there are no more protests. And that's where we are right now. No more protest, heavy security on the streets. Massive security on the streets, on every corner. It isn't martial law. But it feels like martial law to people living there.”The path forward is unclear, Majd says. But a few things are certain. “The idea is no to shah, no to an ayatollah, no to theocracy. Let's just, finally, after 120 years of demonstrating — which is what the Iranians have been doing since 1906 — after 120 years of looking for democracy, can we just do that? Can we just get a democracy? That is probably the biggest sentiment in Iran: wanting a democratic rule, wanting the repression to end, wanting better relations with the rest of the world so these sanctions can be lifted.”Some people inside and outside Iran have called on President Donald Trump to intervene. The idea that the U.S. should — or could — impose regime change militarily is folly, Majd says. “Sure, we were able to impose a regime change in Iraq militarily. They can do that again in Iran, possibly with the help of Israel or even without the help of Israel. But then what do you have? Do you have another basically authoritarian, autocratic government?'” Meanwhile, Trump has threatened to intervene in another international arena. He has set his sights on taking over Greenland. Despite walking back his statements pledging to do so by force, Trump has now said he's forming a plan with the secretary general of NATO for Greenland's future. We're joined by independent investigative journalist Lois Parshley, who explains the financial interests behind Trump's obsession with the Arctic island, the billionaires and tech moguls plotting to exploit Greenland's natural resources, and how the people of Greenland have responded to the president's pledge to violate their sovereignty.Shortly before Trump first expressed an interest in Greenland during his first term, his ambassador to Denmark and Greenland visited a major rare earth mining project on the island, Parshley reported last year. “More recently, The Guardian reported that it was Ronald Lauder, heir to the global cosmetics brand [Estée Lauder] who was also a longtime friend of Trump's, who first suggested buying Greenland. He has acquired commercial holdings there and is also part of a consortium who want to access Ukrainian minerals.”Fresh off the invasion of Venezuela, the idea that Trump wants to take over Greenland is even more alarming, Parshley says. “I'm not the first person to report on these kinds of major tech interests in things like crypto states or special economic zones. People have been pointing this stuff out for a long time, but it's not until President Trump started saying the quiet part out loud that people have really been registering some of these absurd concepts that seem to now be creeping toward reality.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Is Trump “crazy” over Greenland — or is this what happens when you finally follow the money?

What happens when a state stops enforcing the law — and allies refuse to act like allies? ⚠️ In this explosive episode, Tara exposes two crises colliding at once:

MALCOLM KEMPT chats to Paul Burke about A GIFT BEFORE DYING, the Arctic, Inuit culture, reading outside your genre and handing out guns to prisoners.A GIFT BEFORE DYING AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, CAN JUSTICE STILL BE FOUND?After a botched high-profile murder investigation, Sergeant Elderick Cole is exiled to the remote, rugged landscape of Nunavut, a vast territory in the Arctic Circle known for its untamed beauty, frigid temperatures, and endless winter nights.His bleak existence takes a sinister turn when he discovers the hanging body of Pitseolala, a troubled Inuit girl whom he had sworn to protect. Her death dredges up demons he thought he'd buried along with the scars of a fractured marriage and the aching divide between himself and his estranged daughter.As Cole's life unravels - and with it, the fragile thread of his investigation - he turns to Pitseolala's younger brother, Maliktu, a fellow outsider.

Zak Kassas, Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University, recently released a white paper on “Navigating the Arctic Circle with Starlink and OneWeb LEO Satellites” and shares his insights. The study suggests that radio signals from low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites could become reliable navigation alternatives, as disruptions to GPS services increase globally. Zak helps us understand how he reached that conclusion.  You can read  “Navigating the Arctic Circle with Starlink and OneWeb LEO Satellites” here.

In this newscast: Residents living in avalanche-prone downtown neighborhoods got the all-clear to return home today after the city lifted its last remaining evacuation advisory this morning; Avalanche risk rose over the weekend, as more snow and then rain pounded Juneau. Meanwhile, staff at the city's emergency warming shelter for unhoused residents relocated operations three times in two days; A Juneau-born athlete is headed to Italy next month to represent Team USA's biathlon team in the 2026 Olympic Winter Games; A small population of grizzly bears makes its home above the Arctic Circle, but not much is known about them, or how they find enough food to survive the extreme winters

Looking for a smarter way to travel and a richer way to live when you get back? We're launching Season Eight with A for Airbnb, sharing how a long road trip through Finland and Norway transformed from a checklist of sights into a string of homes. From a lakeside house with a wood-fired sauna in Puolanka to an RV in the Inari village, from the Arctic Circle at Rovaniemi to Norway's brooding fjords, we used Airbnbs to slow down, meet neighbors, and absorb the quiet routines that define Nordic life.Along the way we chased the northern lights near Levi, learned why Finnish apartments feel so peaceful, and discovered how to spot the small details that make a stay effortless: strong Wi‑Fi, laundry days, clear entry instructions, local tips, and respectful house norms. Historic Kittilä surprised us with an artist-host who kept stories alive along with salvaged wood and open-hearth cooking. Oulu and Turku balanced old-town charm with modern coffee culture and kid-friendly spaces. The big takeaway wasn't a single perfect property; it was how the right stay turns a map into a neighborhood and a night into a lesson you can use at home.We also flip the script and talk about hosting. Back in Waco, our 1916 fixer-upper doubles as an Airbnb where guest nights help fund restoration. We share our playbook for five-star experiences on both sides: how to filter and book smarter, how to be a great guest who communicates and respects the space, and how hosts can elevate comfort with small, thoughtful touches like printed Wi‑Fi, bedside charging, clear guides, and a warm welcome.

For this episode of Punks Unknown, we travel 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle to Tromsø, Norway, home of Bastard Bar – possibly the most northern punk dive bar in the world.Liam sits down with Paul, co-founder of Bastard Bar, to hear how a snowboard kid who loved punk ended up running a basement venue that puts on around 180 shows a year in one of the coldest, darkest parts of Europe. We discuss starting the bar back in 2009, why Bastard Bar became a home for punk, hardcore, and all things loud, and how Tromsø has changed as tourism has exploded.Paul explains the reality of keeping a DIY venue alive in a city where hotels are full of Northern Lights tourists, and big corporate bar chains are trying to buy up independent spaces. This really is a love letter to small venues, stubborn punks, and the people who keep scenes alive at the very top of the world.All music in this episod are from Norwigan Punk bands (Names below), and thank you to Michael Rigby for the intro track 'Punks Unknown' — links to Mike's music can be found via this⁠ linkTurbonegro - All My Friends Are DeadHonningbarna - Festen Som Aldri Stopper The Good The Bad and The Zugly - How To Do Nothing Blood Command - The Plague On Both Your Houses

ABOUT POLAR WARPOLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.ABOUT KENNETH R. ROSENKenneth R. Rosen is the recipient of a Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism and the Bayeux-Calvados Award for War Correspondents, a two-time finalist for the Livingston Award for his work in Syria and Iraq, and an Ira A. Lipman Fellow at Columbia University. He is the author of Troubled and Bulletproof Vest, and his writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic & WIRED. He divides his time between Western Massachusetts and Northern Italy with his wife and their three children.https://kennethrrosen.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
