In this powerful episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with Ellie “Belly” Dempster to uncover her extraordinary story of grit, transformation, and redemption. Ellie opens up about her sheltered upbringing in Canada, where traditional expectations clashed with her restless spirit. She recounts how a leap to Australia at 18 led to years of addiction, living on the edge, and a moment of reckoning that propelled her to Thailand to teach and train in Muay Thai. From her first fight in a Bangkok ring to stepping onto the Power Slap stage with just weeks to prepare, Ellie shares the mindset that has carried her through injuries, self-doubt, and the weight of proving herself in male-dominated arenas. The conversation covers her work supporting orphanages, her viral ACL tear in competition, and the deep belief that no failure is final if you learn from it. With raw honesty and infectious determination, Ellie shows how every setback can become fuel for growth, and why she'll never stop stepping into the unknown.

Russ Williams is a Welsh blogger & the author of Where the Folk; A Welsh Folklore Roadtrip from Caernarfon, Wales. After readings about the Cŵn Annwn [a mythological pack of otherworldly hunting hounds], we open our conversation on Welsh identity with the preservation of their Celtic language along with tidbits of history and local foods such as the lunch meal of the miners, the Welsh oggie. Jumping into Russ' book on the folkways and lore of Wales we hear about: the macabre horse skull costume known as the Mari Lwyd; a mermaid sex-slave; a tourist town banking on the legend of Gelert the Dog killed by his own master; and finally the epic Mabinogion, a collection of medieval Welsh mythology. For his own uncanny story, Russ takes us out of his homeland to the streets of Bangkok where he was outwitted by a fortuneteller. We bring it back around on more canine folklore and a travel tip for Eryri National Park, formerly known as Snowdonia. Reading from the Mabinogion translated by Lady Charlotte Guest. Check out Russ' book Where the Folk; A Welsh Folklore Roadtrip.

The break-up was rough, but looking around the house, the realization hit me: enough time had passed. The house felt hollow, the memories mere echoes as the walls finally exhaled. It was time for a new beginning. A new dawn that can only commence at the ultimate church of eclectic, spirited commerce: World Market. I started small—replacing our antique China with vivid Moroccan flatware that seemed kissed by the sun, swapping the boring coffee table with a teakwood piece who's carved inlays most assuredly had stories to tell. The sleek, curated house slowly gave way to joyous chaos and vibrant international hues: I bought handwoven baskets from Chile, glass incense holders from Bangkok, a wine decantor shaped like a pineapple that said, "Why am I shaped like a pineapple? Let me counter your inquiry with one of my own: why are you shaped like a human?" One night, while nestled snuggly on the Brazilian velvet sectional under the glow of a copper Turkish lantern, I laughed—genuinely, stupidly, fully—for the first time in months. Healing, it turns out, doesn't always mean moving on; sometimes it means turning your break-up into a credit card-fueld World Market fever dream.

Are foreigners seen as walking ATMs in Thailand? In this episode, we dive into a recent story from Bangkok that left me with a surprising bill—and raised questions about how Westerners are perceived in Thai social circles. We explore cultural expectations around money and group outings, and some potential situations foreigners often don't see coming. We also discuss the new privacy laws in the Philippines affecting YouTubers, and the possibility of similar laws coming to Thailand. Lastly, we cover the big changes in Thailand cannabis laws, how it might affect tourism and businesses, and the potential risk of starting a new venture in Thailand.

What marketing strategies are actually working in 2025? Karla Singson shares standout tactics from a DC Mexico meetup she hosted, where 6- and 7-figure founders revealed how they're landing clients organically through Facebook groups, trade show podcast hacks, and thoughtful LinkedIn comments (no ad spend required). We also dive into Karla's own playbook: how she's built multiple businesses around authenticity, reputation, and smart delegation. She shares tips for handling sales calls, choosing offers that sell themselves, and why relationships (not reach) are her #1 growth lever.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Dana Garnett. What happens when a privileged life built on international corporate success suddenly implodes? Dana discovered the high cost of poor communication during conflict when she and her ex-husband burned through $270,000 in legal fees to get through their divorce. That was equivalent to the money they had saved for their daughters' college educations. But Dana's story doesn't end there. As a former Coca-Cola executive turned mediator, she transformed her painful divorce experience into a mission to help others navigate life's most challenging conversations with greater ease. Her story reveals powerful insights about how we can preserve not just our financial wealth, but our health and our relationships during times of crisis. Dana Garnett, Mediator & Conflict Resolution Strategist, helps you resolve conflict preventing you from successfully living and running your personal or professional life – like clashes over business strategy or operating values, C-suite or team confrontations, succession rivalries, generational and family fallouts, divorce, and disputes over trusts and estates. Anything where conflict poses a risk to your professional or personal well-being. From years of experience as a Mediator for the State of Texas for civil and family cases, Dana has developed and refined a unique conflict resolution coaching process outside of mediation where you get to the heart of and clear complex conflict fast with lasting change, without needing everyone around the table. It takes two or more to tangle, but it only takes you to achieve real resolution so you can focus freely on matters most in your life. Founder of The Mindful Strategy, Dana merges CPA Big 8 Accounting and her international career with The Coca-Cola Company with vast global life lessons from working and living for 22 years across diverse cultures on six continents – including seven years in Bangkok, Thailand where she learned mindfulness directly from Eastern philosophical teachings. First-hand experience as a party to litigation that resulted in personal and financial loss prompted Dana's deep dive into relationship dynamics and her passion for helping you avoid the pitfalls of unnecessary conflict. Dana is a national speaker, certified trainer, and holds a Master of Arts in Dispute Resolution and Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching from Southern Methodist University, and a Master of Science in Accountancy and a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from the University of North Texas. She sits on the Board of Fulfilling the Vision, a nonprofit that supports the arts in Dallas, Texas and beyond through books and media that publicizes Dallas artists who are successful around the world.

If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. — Isaiah 58:10 The roles of mom, dad, brother, and sister can be broader than traditional definitions suggest. My mom has embodied an expansive view of motherhood throughout her life. She not only raised my siblings and me alongside our father, but she also served as a Christian school principal for 35 years and as an elder in her church. Her influence reached far beyond our home—spending summers in Ukraine, Uganda, and Russia, as well as three years in Bangkok to help establish Christian schools. When I was a single father with sons ages 7, 4, and 1, my mom stepped in to help me, sharing as a grandmother the same energy and devotion she had shown as a mother. Her love, especially in times of need, reflected God's calling to spend herself on behalf of others. She's always been a square peg in a world that tries to fit people into round holes, and that uniqueness is her strength. The churches, orphanages, and schools she has served have benefited deeply from her gifts—as have we, her family. God promises his servants: “You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Is there someone in your life whose faith and service reflect God's light and bless others in remarkable ways? Lord, thank you for all whose love and service reflect your light. Bless those who give generously of themselves. May their lives be like well-watered gardens, ever refreshing others. Amen.

Greg and Ed do a first for the the show, with a panel discussion with four guests! Why four? Well, everyone knows that cliche about Bangkok being a heaven for expat men, but we didn't know much about expat women. It stands to reason that one woman can't speak for all women, so we upped the game a bit. After some introductions, we get into the meat of the show, with a myriad of stories that show how complex, nuanced, and (depending on the person) important the issue is to a life well lived in the capital. Among many other things, the ladies discuss the differences between the attention they get back home and what they get in Bangkok, what it's like to date Thai men (and women), the quality of farang men in Thailand, and a host of other issues. There are also some hilarious(ly awful) Tinder stories, anecdotes about being approached on the street, issues that single moms have to deal with, discussion about western women who leave Thailand bitter and angry, and how Asian American women are treated in Thailand. Suffice it to say more than one can of worms are opened up in part one of a two-part mega interview. As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

To give us the benefit of his vast experience as a diplomat, former Ambassador Chas Freeman, helps us sort through the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Then Christian Sorenson, military analyst from the Eisenhower Media Network, explains just how the military industrial complex works.Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981.The claim that suddenly Iran was on the verge of building a nuclear weapon has no basis in fact. And neither the CIA nor the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, agree with the statement of the President that Iran is about to build a bomb.Ambassador Chas FreemanThe Israelis have a strange way of negotiating. They went into negotiations with Hamas, and they killed the top two people in charge of the negotiations. Then they go into negotiations – with U.S. auspices – with Iran. And in the middle of them, they kill the top military and scientific people in Iran.Ambassador Chas FreemanIt's as least as likely, maybe more likely, that there will be regime change in Jerusalem as there will be regime change in Tehran.Ambassador Chas FreemanChristian Sorensen is the Associate Director of the Eisenhower Media Network. He is an author and military affairs analyst covering the business of war. Mr. Sorenson is a former U.S. Air Force Arabic linguist, served at a variety of stateside posts and a tour in Qatar. He is the author of “Understanding the War Industry.” Since leaving the military, he has become the foremost expert studying military contracting and how corporations profit from war.The U.S. taxpayer gives any year around three to $4 billion of U.S. tax dollars to Israel, and then Israel is supposed to turn around and use that money to purchase from the U.S. war industry. So it is incredibly profitable for the U.S. ruling class to do that because it doesn't come out of the pockets of the U.S. ruling class because the U.S. ruling class doesn't pay their fair share of taxes.Christian SorensonPer Ralph's call to action - Even non-veterans can sign up for Veterans for Peace Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

We get the view on the ground in Bangkok as a secret recording of Thailand’s prime minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, plunges the country into political turmoil. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VOV1 - Bộ Ngoại giao Thái Lan sáng 19/6 đã triệu Đại sứ Campuchia tại Bangkok để trao công hàm phản đối sau khi phía Campuchia tiết lộ công khai nội dung cuộc trò chuyện riêng giữa Thủ tướng Thái Lan Paetongtarn Shinawatra và Chủ tịch Thượng viện Campuchia Hun Sen.

Love Thai food? It might be thanks to a two-decade long policy on the part of the government of Thailand to promote its food culture abroad, with the express aim of increasing trade and tourism. Ruth Alexander explores how food can be used as a foreign policy tool, influencing not just world leaders but seeking to win the hearts and minds of the public. Academic Sam Chapple-Sokol at George Washington University in the US explains why gastro-diplomacy is such an effective tool for soft power. Jan Wisansing, tourism policy consultant in Bangkok, explains the impact of the Global Thai scheme on international tourism to the country. Ruth speaks to the owners of LumLum Thai restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, who have recently received a Thai SELECT award, an official endorsement from the government of Thailand. And writer and historian Ali Domrongchai in the US talks about the impact of this approach on her own family's Thai restaurant in Florida. Producer: Beatrice Pickup.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Esquire from the YouTube channel Legal Mindset  to expose the growing trend of nuisance streamers in Asia—content creators who break local laws for clout, profit, and views. We dive into shocking cases like Johnny Somali and Vitaly, who face serious legal consequences in Korea and the Philippines for disrespecting cultural norms and engaging in illegal behavior during livestreams.Andrew, a U.S. attorney currently living in Thailand, breaks down the legal systems in Asia, why these streamers think they're untouchable, and how local governments are starting to crack down. We also discuss what makes Bangkok such a hotspot for digital nomads and content creators—and why Thailand isn't the lawless playground some outsiders think it is.

The Southeast Asian country has witnessed a huge influx of electrical and electronic waste in recent years. Old mobile phones, computers, circuit boards and fridges are being shipped to the country and processed, often in unlicensed industrial sites. We explore why this has happened, who is behind it, and find out what the Thai government is doing about it. We join the Thai industry ministry on a raid of an unlicensed Chinese-owned recycling plant, and talk to a Thai farmer who says his cassava crop has been blighted by pollutants from an unlicensed smelter. We also hear from Thais about their own electronics recycling habits.

Greg and Ed discuss a fascinating question: Are Thai weddings or American weddings more fun? The question was raised after Greg attended the wedding of friend of the podcast Daniel Fraser. As everyone knows, Dan is a legit expert on travel in Thailand, in addition to being a bit of a celebrity in the country due to his appearances in various TV shows and movies. Greg noted that the experience reminded him how much more fun Thai weddings are than Western weddings, leading Ed to raise his eyebrows a bit and raise a few objections. Ed admits that Thai weddings can be very interesting due to their local cultural aspects, which would certainly apply to Dan's well-choreographed affair. And, of course, all weddings can be heartfelt experiences due to your wishes for the bride and groom. But when it comes to FUN in the conventional sense of the term, Ed argues that most Thai weddings are nothing more than elaborate dinners and typically lack the band, the dancing, and the drunkenness that are de rigueur at most American weddings. For fun rather than formality, Ed opts for Western weddings.  Greg begs to differ, however (as he did on his blog ‘Greg to Differ'), and argues that Isaan weddings can include frivolity from the get-go, including shots of ya dong or Thai moonshine in the a.m. (!) Ed concedes there's no topping that, but theorizes that perhaps there's a difference between the typical Bangkok wedding, which might be more Thai-Chinese, and the typical Isaan wedding, which might be more fun and informal. Perhaps Ed just needs to attend some weddings out in the provinces!  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Michael Zervos has been to every country in the world   Hey now, I am your host, Ric Gazarian. This is a bonus episode with Michael Zervos.  I interviewed Michael back in December of 2023, before he had started his quest.  His quest?  To travel to every country in the world in the quickest possible time.  We have heard this before … someone who wants to break the GWR.  And many in the community would ask what is the point?  This is not a race.  What will the traveler gain from spending just a day or two in each country?   And once the record is broken, it will be broken again.  First it was Cassie de Pecol, and then Taylor Demonbreun, who currently holds the GWR for quickest at 554 days to every country in the world.  The current male GWR holder is Robson Jesus at 772 days.  On a random note, I met Robson in Phuket, his second country on his quest.  Former guest, Indy Nelson claimed 539 days to every country.  Anderson Dias traveled 543 days to every country in the world, also claiming a record, both unverified by GWR.   Michael just completed his journey in 499 days to every country in the world … overcoming potential challenges such as DPRK and Sudan.    But Michael put his own spin on his journey.  He wanted to create a library of the world's “what is the happiest moment of your life?”  As he traveled to every country in the world, he would meet locals and pose this question to them, and create videos.  On another random note, I organized a meetup in Bangkok when he visited, introducing him to two local Thai friends who were interviewed at the event.     Remember to keep up to date with the Extraordinary Travel Festival by joining our Instagram and Facebook groups and signing up for the on our  ETF will be sometime, somewhere in 2026 around October/November, destination unknown.     Some other notes in the travel community.  I joined the NM travel conference to Fergana Valley where I met 100 other travelers, including many from the ETF community.  One of the highlights was a visit to a unique and amazing enclave.  Hats off to the NM team which organized this great event.    I just got my copy of the Impossible Journey.  This is Thor Pedersen's mission to visit every country in the world without flying.  Make sure you pick up your copy, and take a look at this .     I also attended April Peregrino's last country party celebration in Bratislava.  Congrats to April who was interviewed on one of the early .  She did an amazing job organizing this multi-day event for 50 people.     And one more piece of news, extreme traveler Krazy Koala just visited her last country.  And she celebrated in a unique manner by writing a song in honor of her completion.  Check out her song Solo 193.  Also, she has noted that she is the first double Ivy League graduate and the first “Independent” Solo Female to visit 193 countries (95% no guide).   Please note this conversation took place before Michael's quest began.  I was in Chicago and Micheal was in Michigan for this recording.

Today the news is all about sniffing in all the wrong ways. We're talking about a serial panty sniffer in Udon Thani, Bangkok port seizing 736,000 kgs of hazardous red dust, and a little later Phuket's waste odor crises worsening in rainy season.

For 35 years, Ash and Anji Barker have made bold, countercultural choices—embedding themselves in some of the world's most overlooked and underestimated neighbourhoods. From the rough edges of Springvale in Australia, to the vibrant resilience of Bangkok's Klong Toey slum, to the heart of inner-city Birmingham, their journey is one of hope, grit, and deep-rooted faith.Through it all, they've championed the belief that every local community holds untapped potential—and with the right love, leadership, and lived presence, transformation is possible. Their story is not just inspiring—it's a living testament to what happens when you show up, stay the course, and believe that no place is too far gone. Don't miss this powerful conversation.

Michael Every of Rabobank discusses the evolving global financial and geopolitical landscape. He explores the potential transformation of the dollar system from one based on financialization to one focused on industrial production, possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries. The conversation also touches on the concept of multipolarity and the emergence of regional blocs, while questioning whether any alternative currency or system can truly replace the dollar's global acceptance. He examines the potential for military conflict in this great interregnum period and explains neo-mercantilism as the key takeaway.

Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, l'océan. Entre le sommet de demain (lundi 9 juin 2025) à Nice et les travaux préparatoires de ces derniers jours, la tâche est importante, l'océan recouvre 70% de la planète, il est victime du changement climatique et de toutes les pollutions. La haute mer demeure encore vierge de réelle  réglementation et cet espace est pourtant un gros atout pour la planète Terre. Entre autres, bien des populations vivent de la pêche. Exemple : le Groenland autonome du Danemark et lié à l'Union européenne, le secteur de la pêche est essentiel pour la population... En seconde partie, une rébellion nationaliste et musulmane, une guérilla oubliée à l'ordre du jour aujourd'hui, nous serons dans le sud profond de la Thaïlande.  La pêche, quel avenir pour la mer nourricière du Groenland?Grand reportage vous emmène aujourd'hui au Groenland... Le territoire est autonome du Danemark et lié à l'Union européenne par un statut spécial, mais géographiquement il fait partie de l'Amérique du Nord. Et il intéresse le président américain… « Nous l'aurons d'une manière ou d'une autre », a même déclaré Donald Trump, n'excluant pas la force.Ses minerais, sa position stratégique, ce carrefour des routes de l'Arctique font rêver la Maison Blanche.Mais loin des projecteurs et des tensions géopolitiques de premier plan, la grande richesse du Groenland, en réalité, c'est la pêche.Dans le contexte de la conférence internationale sur les océans qui se tient en France, nous plongeons dans un secteur qui fait vivre la majeure partie de cette gigantesque île du grand Nord.Un Grand Reportage de Justine Fontaine, avec la collaboration de Patrick Abrahamsen. Entretien avec Jacques Allix. Grand Sud thaïlandais: l'insurrection oubliéeC'est une guérilla dont on parle peu. Dans la longue pointe sud de la Thaïlande, à la frontière de la Malaisie, loin des caméras, les provinces thaïlandaises de Yala, Pattani et Narathiwat sont en proie à un conflit entre l'État central de Bangkok et un groupe armé séparatiste musulman. Bilan : plus de 7 700 morts depuis 2004. Le massacre, cette année-là, de manifestants musulmans d'origine malaise, toujours impuni, a laissé des traces. Elle continue de hanter toute la région. En témoigne la résurgence des violences meurtrières depuis le début de cette année.Un Grand reportage de notre correspondant à Bangkok, Valentin Cebron qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Listeners have described the show as a cross between “Coast to Coast” with Art Bell, “The Twilight Zone” with Rod Serling, “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack, and “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy.DISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only.

(The Tombs in Space) *** Don't take a gift from Gracie Watson's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (Gracie's Ghost) *** A latchkey kid comes home to an empty house… or so they thought until they heard footsteps in another room. (The Laundry Room) *** People often encounter strange and frightening things when they experience sleep paralysis – but in one particular story, the horrors began well before going to bed. (Sleep Paralysis in Bangkok) *** Did Bonnie Scott run away? Was she kidnapped? Murdered perhaps? All anyone knew was that no one had a clue where she was. She had simply disappeared without a trace. (The Murder of Bonnie Leigh Scott) *** Samuel Joselyn was buried in 1810 in a North Carolina cemetery.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Samuel was actually DEAD at the time of his burial! (Buried Alive in Wilmington) *** in 1894 Rosa Lochner was a witness to murder, but she had been deaf since birth and her spoken vocabulary was limited. So how could she testify against the accused? (Murder In Pantomime) *** A boy wakes to find his previously closed curtains now open – and the only explanation involves a previous resident of the house he's nowliving in. (Strange Manifestations) *** Mention the word “Chupacabra” and most people will think of a strange, hairless dog-like animal. They are never described as having the ability to fly… until now. (Winged Chupacabras) *** These UFOs aren't shiny metallic discs or cigar-shaped spaceships. They are humanoid – and they fly without the help of a jetpack, wings, cape or even a broom to sit on. And the sightings are still coming in all throughout Mexico. (The Flying Humanoids of Mexico) *** The North Carolina Cherokee have a story about how dangerous it can be even near a calm river – where the waters can suddenly foam and a giant beast can appear on the rocks. (James and the Giant Leech) ***Supernatural women, shadowy men, odd animal sightings, and more… they can all be found at late-night truck stops if you're not careful.
