Podcasts about Atlantic Ocean

Shorebirds appear plentiful on any visit to the beach. But their habitat is under threat from climate change and the legacy of a Great Depression-era work program. This is the last in our series of episodes spotlighting the Bay Journal documentary film, "Chesapeake Rhythms."

Tonight, we return to South Africa to taste two blended red wines. The first is a Shiraz-based blend from the Stellenbosch Region of the Western Cape. The second wine is mostly a Bordeaux Blend of Cabernet-Merlot.These wines basically come from different sides of a mountain. The Shiraz blend comes from the cooler Stellenbosch area.The Franschhoek (FRAHN-SHOOK) wine valley is a French area. Black Elephant focuses on French wine grapes, as does the whole valley. Mountains surround the valley on three sides and is very beautiful.The Dutch were brought in to help reclaim the wet swampy area of Bordeaux, France that bordered the Atlantic Ocean. When large numbers of French left France in the 1600's and 1700's, some chose to come to South Africa and brought grapes with them. This area became a popular place for the French to settle. Tonight, we are enjoying:2019 Thelema Mountain Red. This wine was purchased at Wine Styles for around $18. Aromas of juicy black fruit, mulberries, plums, and hints of warm spice. It spent 18 months in older French barrels. Grown in a cooler climate. The wine has pH of 3.51 and 2.2 g/l residual sugar. 57% Shiraz, 21% Grenache, and 22% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14.0% alcohol. Pairs with pizza or BBQ.2023 Black Elephant Three Men In A Tub With a Rubber Duck Red Wine Blend. This wine was purchased from Wine Styles for around $17. In addition to having a very long name, it has aromas of fresh-picked red berries and vanilla. Medium-body with bright acidity and flavors of cherry, liquorice, and violets. It is a 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 2% Mourvedre. 13% alcohol. The wine comes from the Franschhoek Valley region.We gave both wines a 3 rating. I believe the Thelema could have improved with some additional aging as it was still rather bright. The Three Men in a Tub, I was close to a 2 and believe you can find a similar wine for at a cheaper price.Next week we will taste a single varietal Monastrell from Spain.

In this compelling episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with tech executive, entrepreneur, and resilience coach Mohamed F. Ahmed. From the moment a curious mistake with a floppy disk nearly wrecked his dad's $10,000 PC—and unexpectedly ignited a lifelong passion for computers—to launching and selling a successful startup, Mo shares the deeper, human story behind innovation and leadership. You'll hear how emotional intelligence, mindset, and adaptability outweigh strategy in both startups and big corporations, and why conditioning your inner world may be the most important skill for the future of work and AI. This isn't your typical tech talk. Mo opens up about the moments that nearly broke him—and how emotional conditioning, not strategy, got him through. Whether you're launching a startup, innovating inside a big company, or just trying to stay sane in the chaos, this episode is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and the real inner game of success. Entrepreneurship starts inside: Your mindset and emotional conditioning matter more than your business model. Corporate vs. startup = Pool vs. ocean: Corporate feels like a swim lane; startups are like the Atlantic Ocean at night—no map, no guardrails. Emotional regulation is a learned skill: Mo went from 4 weeks of emotional paralysis to 2 hours of recovery by learning to process feelings fast. Identity ≠ job title: Don't let your business define your worth. Purpose fuels resilience: Your “why” is your survival kit when things go wrong. AI is a collaborator, not a competitor: The winners will be those who use AI to think, plan, and act faster—not those who fear it. Use AI to reflect: Mo journals daily and uses Claude or ChatGPT to analyze his week and optimize decisions. Sales is psychology, not just pitching: Reframe rejection as feedback and stay emotionally neutral. Curiosity trumps control: Mo's career began when his dad turned a moment of anger into a shared learning journey. The next wave is “AI-native entrepreneurs”: Founders using AI as a creative partner are building faster, smarter companies. 00:00 – Intro and Seattle weather joke 02:45 – Jeff explains show format and target audience 05:00 – Corporate innovation vs. entrepreneurship 08:00 – Mo's origin story: From floppy disks to a PhD 13:00 – Lessons from Mo's dad: 10X thinking and 20,000 books 17:00 – First emotional crash in startup life 20:45 – Resilience in action: From panic to pitch in 2 hours 23:30 – The Entrepreneurial Conditioning Framework 26:00 – Identity, mindset, and daily mental practices 30:50 – Making time for thinking in the chaos of leadership 34:00 – Sales psychology and rejection reframing 35:15 – Startups vs. big corporations: Speed and chaos 41:00 – The future of AI: From compression to companion 46:00 – Mo's son + AI = 2-month project done in 1 week 49:00 – Will AI steal jobs or create new ones? 52:00 – Boundless Founder and The Inside Out Entrepreneur Boundless Founder Community: https://boundlessfounder.co Why You Should ListenTop 10 TakeawaysChapter MarkingsLinks MentionedBook – The Inside Out Entrepreneur: Available now on Amazon

The European Space Agency plans to use satellite gravity data to track weakening ocean circulation systems. Rory Bingham of the University of Bristol explains how these satellites can ‘weigh' the Earth's water and might help resolve whether we're approaching the climate tipping point of a shutdown of ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean, something we've been following for a while. Scientists have been able to retrieve ancient proteins from fossilized tooth enamel in the Canadian High Arctic. Ryan Sinclair Paterson from the University of Copenhagen tells us how he can fill in the blanks of the molecular tree of life with these proteins from over 20 million years ago. A few weeks ago, we discussed evidence of an impact of a massive crater in northwestern Australia from over 3 billion years ago. However, recent independent evidence from another team of geologists indicate that the size and age of this crater's impact may not be what some had previously thought. Alec Brenner of Yale University talks us through his analysis of the geologic evidence. Finally, we rediscover a forgotten pioneer of fusion science. Mark Cavendish discusses the research done by then-graduate student Arthur Ruhlig that helped develop the hydrogen bomb and thermonuclear physics.

The head of UNAIDS says it is painful -- and cruel -- to watch life-saving progress erode because of Donald Trump's abrupt cuts to funding. She tells us there are solutions, but they'll only work if countries like Canada step in to fill the void.Amid the immigration crackdown in the U.S., one Quebec border crossing sees a surge in asylum applications. A woman who works with news arrivals from Haiti tells us about the fears of the families showing up at her door. Researchers in California develop a new underwater microscope and our guest says it's already bringing fragile coral ecosystems into focus -- in their natural habitat -- instead of a lab. After a Newfoundland couple stuck a message in a bottle, they didn't think about it much -- until it ended up in the hands of another couple, all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, 13 years later. Heathrow Airport sets out to capture the magic of the airport by commissioning a subtle soundtrack that incorporates the sounds of the airport, to be played on repeat at the airport.Chimpanzees in Zambia appear to be sticking grass in their ears as a kind of fashion trend -- which they may have learned from humans. And also: in their rumps. Which it appears they taught themselves. As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that salutes them for blades-ing a trail.

It took almost 13 years and over 2,000 miles for a message by a couple in Canada to reach its destination. In September 2012, Brad and Anita went on a day trip to Bell Island in Newfoundland; they wrote a message and put it in a bottle and despatched it into the Atlantic Ocean. The bottle was found by Kate Gay on Scraggane Bay, Maharees. Jerry spoke to Kay and another member of Creative Ireland Neart na Macharaí, Martha Farrell. The interview prompted Vera to get in touch with her own message in a bottle story.

Send us a textHave you ever felt that gnawing sensation when something that once filled you with excitement now feels like a chore? That uncomfortable feeling might be the universe's way of telling you it's time to spread your wings.In this deeply personal episode, I share the powerful revelations that came to me during a sunrise swim in the Atlantic Ocean on a pivotal 7-7 portal day. As waves crashed around me—some gently lifting me, others knocking me down—I recognized how perfectly they mirrored my recent spiritual journey in Florida.For months, I'd been clinging to situations and teachings that no longer resonated, convinced that letting go would somehow mean failure. What I discovered instead was a profound truth from ancient wisdom: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear; when the student is truly ready, the teacher will disappear."This episode explores the delicate balance between dedication and attachment. I reveal how my Enneagram 8 tendencies toward control had kept me pushing others toward paths that weren't theirs to walk, and how learning to trust my own discernment finally freed me to recognize when seasons had changed.Whether you're questioning your current path, feeling stuck in old patterns, or sensing that something new is calling you forward, this conversation offers compassionate guidance for distinguishing between the comfort of familiarity and the joy of authentic growth. Learn why true teachers ignite passion rather than demand compliance, and how recognizing when to move on isn't abandonment—it's graduation.Join me in exploring how we can honor what we've learned while courageously stepping toward what's next. Your next level of awakening might be waiting just beyond what you're willing to release.Support the show

I'm on the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between Canada and Maine this week (Melanie opted out of the trip because of the aforementioned ocean), so we recorded this episode before I left Birmingham, and we asked our friend Cole Cubelic - who is one of our all-time favorite people - to join us. As some of you may remember, Melanie and I met Cole a couple of years ago after he saw us at an event where my hair clip was in a constant state of malfunction. Now he's like the little brother we didn't know we needed. So this week we catch up with him about life and his thoughts about this fall in the SEC and the real meanings behind phrases that coaches use over and over.  We don't do Five Favorites this week, but I'll be back with five fresh favorites next week. :-)  Enjoy, everybody! - Join Us on Patreon - Our Amazon Shop - San Antonio Live Show (10/23/25) tickets are on sale now!

In this amazing episode, I sit down with Kegan "SMURF" Gill, a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter pilot who survived the fastest ejection in naval aviation history — launched from his jet at 695 mph- at 50 G's.The injuries he sustained in that moment were severe enough to kill most people — limbs torn apart and a traumatic brain injury among them. But Kegan's ordeal didn't end there.After ejecting, Kegan plunged into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, battling hypothermia, sharks and drowning for two hours as rescue teams rushed to find him. Miraculously, his hypothermic state helped prevent fatal blood loss. This was just the beginning of his fight for survival.We discuss Kegan's journey through:-The severe psychotic episodes and dehumanizing treatments he faced after his brain injury.-His struggle to find proper mental health care, pushing him to eventually seek alternative treatments, including psychedelic therapy and nutraceutical interventions through the Warrior Angels Foundation.-The critical role of family and support systems in his recovery.-His advocacy for veterans' mental health and the systemic challenges in the VA system, and how he now dedicates himself to breaking the stigma around mental health care.Kegan's story is not just about surviving the unthinkable; it's about using that survival as fuel to help others. His fight for healing, and his transformation into a public advocate, is an inspiration to anyone overcoming trauma.

You know, when I was growing up, it was a pretty long trip to get to the ocean. I grew up in Illinois, so we didn't have a lot of ocean experience. Needless to say, when I lived along the East Coast for over 20 years, I became fascinated with the ocean. I still love to watch it, I love to walk along the beach, I love to romp in the waves a little, but I haven't gotten used to those big breakers rolling in. Hey, listen, I'm a lake boy, okay; a pool kid. But those big old waves, they make me feel as if they could pick me up and carry me all the way to England, which I would rather fly to anyway than go by way of the Atlantic Ocean. But I have good friends who really know what to do with those giant waves. They've taught me that what you do is you surf on it if you know how, and they're good at it. They wait for that big old curl to come roaring down on them, they leap on their surfboard and they ride that wave. Now, I see a mega wave as a threat. My friends? They see it as a vehicle. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Surfing the Wave That Could Sink You." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 8, and it talks about the day that a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. It really sounds like a large wave coming in against God's people. But listen to what they did with it. "Those who had been scattered," chapter 8, verse 4 says, "preached the Word wherever they went." Now, here is this violent enemy attack on the infant church, and it forces the believers out of their little nest in Jerusalem. Probably losing their home, and their family connections, and possibly their job. What did they do? Did they sink? No, they surfed on that big wave! They started spreading the Gospel in all the places they were forced to go. Now, that's just what God had predicted in Acts 1:8, when He said, "You'll be My witnesses in Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria, and in the uttermost parts of the earth." But they weren't leaving Jerusalem until this persecution hit. See, the attacks of the enemy often end up facilitating the plans of God (don't you love it?), because of how believers handle the heavy waves of crisis that come crashing toward them. You could do that. It's called capturing your crisis for Christ. This type of believer surfs on a wave of trouble instead of sinking under it. Let's fast-forward 2,000 years from the book of Acts to your life right now. You've got pressure. What's the wave that's coming in at you right now? You've got stress, you've got some anxiety. Can you see it? There's a crisis that's threatening you, or maybe a disappointment, or a disease, a disaster. Capture your crisis for Christ. Do what these early Christians did. They used it as a platform to proclaim Jesus. They said, "Well, if the crisis has forced me into a place I never wanted to be, I'm going to use this as a place to proclaim Christ." Basically, they believed that their situation was their assignment wherever God put them. See, the crises of life put us in positions where a lot of folks are watching what we do; where we meet new people, where we can find a platform for saying, "Jesus is enough, even in this; especially in this situation." Now, the enemy would love to use this wave that you see coming at you to sink you, but don't go down under it. Remember, your situation is your assignment from God. Do what the great surfers do! Ride on top of this wave; surf on it. Capture it for Christ.

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, he played a leading part in English colonization of North America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was the younger half-brother of North American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado".

Two stories from opposite sides of the globe have huge political implications today. First, in New York City, outsider candidate Zohran Mamdani pulled off a historic upset, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for mayor. The seismic victory is sending shockwaves throughout American politics, with center-left Democrats gritting their teeth, progressives in a triumphant mood and Republicans lapping it all up. Across the Atlantic Ocean, President Donald Trump is at the NATO Summit at The Hague today, where he's expected to address the ongoing fallout from the U.S. strike on Iran and the fragile ceasefire between it and Israel. POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly joins Playbook author Jack Blanchard to unpack all that and more.

"When I think about Portugal the beaches and the Atlantic Ocean come to my mind. When I heard the silent drops of the sample I had the idea to connect that water source sound-wise to the ocean.  "Small bits of the sample (single drops) were taken to create a somewhat random rhythm. A bigger part of the sample was taken and slowed down a lot using Paul Stretch.  "The output was fed into two different effect chains. These sounds represent the waves of the ocean. Sequenced sounds were added to connect the drops of water in the mountains flowing finally into the big ocean."  Fraga da Pena, Portugal reimagined by Bernhard Straub.

When tropical storm systems barrel across the Atlantic Ocean toward North America, they often take aim at the Lesser Antilles—an arc of small islands that marks the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea. In fact, the islands often are the first thing forecasters talk about when a tropical system heads our way.The Lesser Antilles arc from the U.S. Virgin Islands, near Puerto Rico, all the way down to South America. They comprise three separate groups: the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles. The Windwards extend farthest into the Atlantic. They were the first stop for European sailing ships, which followed the prevailing winds to the Americas.Most of the islands are volcanic. They formed as two of the plates that make up Earth's crust plunged below the Caribbean Plate. As the rock descended, it melted. Some of the molten rock then forced its way upward, building the islands.Earthquakes rock some of the islands. And some of the volcanoes that built the islands are still active. A massive eruption that began in 1995, for example, destroyed the capital of the island of Montserrat, and forced most of the population to leave the island.Despite the volcanoes and hurricanes, many of the individual islands are popular tourist sites. Places like the Virgin Islands, Aruba, and Martinique offer tropical beaches, coral reefs, rugged mountains, and other natural attractions—at the edge of the Caribbean Sea.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 31, 2025 is: opportune • ah-per-TOON • adjective Opportune describes something that is suitable or convenient for a particular situation, or that is done or happening at an appropriate time. // They chose an opportune time to invest in real estate. // She is waiting for an opportune moment to ask for a raise. See the entry > Examples: “It [the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut] was constructed on the site of an 1830s shipyard built by three mariner brothers, George, Clark, and Thomas Greenman. They, like other entrepreneurs in the booming seafaring community of Mystic, took over low-lying and marshy lands whose gently sloping banks and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean were opportune for shipbuilding.” — Annabel Keenan, The New York Times, 22 Apr. 2025 Did you know? If you've never had the opportunity to learn the history behind opportune, now's your chance. Both opportune and opportunity come from Latin opportūnus, which can mean “favoring one's needs,” “serviceable,” or “convenient.” Opportūnus itself, constructed from the prefix ob-, meaning “to,” portu- (stem of the noun portus, meaning “port” or “harbor”), and the adjective suffix -nus, suggests the value of any port available when a storm is brewing or raging. Portus has dropped anchor in other English words as well, including portal, passport, and of course port. Its footprint is also scattered across our maps in coastal place names, from Newport to Puerto Rico to Porto Alegre.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author Gina Leola Woolsey about her stunning biography, Fifteen Thousand Pieces (Guernica Editions, 2023).  On Wednesday, September 2nd, 1998, an international flight carrying 229 souls crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia. There were no survivors. By Friday, Sept 4th, thousands of dismembered body parts had come through Dr. John Butt's makeshift morgue in Hangar B at the Shearwater military base. The Chief Medical Examiner faced the most challenging and grisly task of his career. Five years prior to the plane crash, John had lost his prestigious job as Alberta's Chief Medical Examiner. After 14 years of marriage, John began to think of himself as gay, but remained closeted professionally. Then, after serving a handful of years as Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Examiner, the devastating crash in Nova Scotia cracked his carefully constructed façade. Fifteen Thousand Pieces explores one man's journey to accept his true nature and find his place in the world. Chapters alternate between the fast-paced story of the crash, and the history of the man in the making. It is both fast-paced and introspective; gruesome and touching. Ultimately, it is the story of how death teaches us to live.

JP is a retired US Army serviceman who describes what happened after he traveled to Eglin Air Force Base to obtain replacement military identification cards. He says that an individual wearing an Air Force jumpsuit, typically worn by pilots, approached him while he was waiting in line and asked JP to follow him.JP says that he followed the pilot, who he believed was a senior officer, to an auditorium where 80 individuals were seated in front of a large 200-inch monitor. JP said that on one side of the auditorium, there were about 40 Nordic extraterrestrials who had crew cuts and wore Air Force uniforms with distinctive patches. They were dressed and looked like the same Nordic who visited him in a flying saucer in 2018, offered to take him for a ride, and whose departing spacecraft was photographed by JP. On the other side of the auditorium, there were about 40 human soldiers of varying ranks.On the screen, they saw images of space arks located in various parts of the world, particularly those in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, which were moving rapidly underwater. JP says the audience was told that the space arks were being activated by the Deep State that wanted to use them for nefarious purposes. JP was told that he might be called upon to travel to the Pacific Ark as part of a team to investigate the situation.For more JP updates visit: https://exopolitics.org/jp-articles-photos-videos/

This is episode 224 — the sound in the background is the weather - the other sound is the creaking of wagons as another great trek begins. We're going to trace the arc of Southern Africa's climate, beginning in the early 19th century, before turning to the decade under review — the 1860s — and following the path of the Griqua Great Trek into Nomansland. First let's get our heads around the cycles of drought and flood in southern Africa. The pernicious climate. As Professor Mike Meadows of UCT's Environmental Sciences Department observed back in 2002, South Africa's climate has long danced to an unpredictable rhythm — one marked by dramatic shifts in both rainfall and its timing. Precipitation follows a kind of cycle, yes, but one that keeps its own secrets. Some years bring bounty, others drought, and the line between the two is often sharp and sudden. The climate, in short, plays favourites with no one — and when it comes to rain, it can be maddeningly capricious. So while the calendar may promise a rainy season, it rarely tells us how generous the skies will be. The patterns are there — but the quantities? That's anyone's guess. South Africa, after all, is a land of dryness. Over 90 percent of its surface falls under what scientists call “affected drylands” — a polite term for places where water is scarce and the margins are thin. The rest? Even drier. Hyper-arid zones, where the land holds its breath and waits. And by the mid-19th century, much of this land was beginning to fray under the strain — overgrazed, overworked, slowly giving way to the long creep of degradation. South Africa's landscape is anything but simple. It's rugged, sculpted by time, with steep slopes and a dramatic stretch from the tropics to the temperate zone. But the story of our climate doesn't end on land. It's shaped by a swirling conversation between oceans and continents — a conversation held over centuries by systems with lyrical names: the Mozambique Channel Trough, the Mascarene High, the Southern Annular Mode, and the twin dipoles of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Then there's the heavyweight — the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO — which has long held sway over our rainfall and drought cycles. The dry was one of the motivations for another Great Trek about to take place. The Griqua's who'd been living in the transOrangia since the late 1700s began to question their position in the world. With the Boers now controlling the Free State, and Moshoeshoe powerful in Lesotho, it was time to assess their options. In 1861, the Griqua joined the list of mass migrations of the 19th Century. There had been the effect of the Mfecane, then the Voortrekkers, and now, the Griqua. Two thousand people left Philippolis to establish themselves in Nomansland, far to the east, past Moshoeshoe's land over the Drakensberg. The reason why historians like Cambridge's Robert Ross call it spectacular was the road that the Griqua cut for themselves across the high ridges of the mountains, a remarkable feat of engineering for the time.

Last month marked the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic in the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean. While the tragedy struck more than 2,000 miles from Denver, the story of the “unsinkable” ship has always struck a special chord here in Mile High, where historic preservationists saved the home of famed survivor Margaret “Molly” Brown. Right now, there are two very different Titanic exhibitions happening — one, a technologically enhanced immersive experience immersive and the other, an intimate look at Brown herself. Politics and green chile correspondent (and Molly Brown fan) Justine Sandoval joined host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi on a tour of both Titanic shows and to discuss which one they think is the best bang for your buck. Have you been to either of the Titanic exhibitions? We want to hear from you!
