Christmas in Germany carries a depth and detail that shaped many of the world's most familiar holiday customs. From Advent wreaths glowing on winter evenings to the aroma of spiced markets and the gentle presence of Christkind, German Christmas traditions reflect centuries of Christian devotion, regional identity, and storytelling. Many of the images that Americans and other nations now consider "classic Christmas" took root in German homes long before crossing the Atlantic through immigrant families. For genealogists, these customs are especially revealing. The German-speaking world is not a single cultural block; it is a set of regions with their own rituals, dialects, and gift-bringers. Whether an ancestor came from Bavaria, the Rhineland, Saxony, or one of the historic kingdoms or principalities, their Christmas practices offer clues to where they lived, what they believed, and how they observed the Nativity. Germany's Christmas traditions did not emerge suddenly. They formed through centuries of Christian worship, household customs, artistic craft, and local practice. In this article, we explore these traditions with attention to the Nativity story, the gift-givers who visit German homes, the importance of Advent, and the genealogical hints preserved in these cultural details...

Each Disney Princess movie is set in a different time and part of the world. For many they are a first glimpse of history and cultures outside of our own. But have you ever wondered what life was really like for your favorite Disney Princess? Let's take a look at each of Disney's 16 animated Princesses, including the latest addition, Asha, to determine where and when they are most likely set. Then I'll match each iconic princess to a real-life royal woman from the same time and place. So we can get a sense of what life without witches, curses and singing animal sidekicks was really like. In some cases there are interesting similarities; Eugénie de Montijo really did go from rags to riches like Cinderella, Catherine of Valois was a sleeping beauty like Aurora and Mihrimah Sultan was a respected leader like Jasmine. So put on your ballgown and tiara, or strap on your armor and let's compare Disney Princesses to real history! Part 1: Snow White - Maria Anna of Bavaria, Archduchess of Austria Cinderella - Eugénie de Montijo, Empress of the French Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) - Catherine of Valois, Queen of England Ariel (The Little Mermaid) - Louise of Hesse-Kassel, Queen of Denmark Belle (Beauty and the Beast) - Maria Josepha of Saxony, Dauphine of France Jasmine (Aladdin) - Mihrimah Sultan, Ottoman Princess Pocahontas - The historic Pocahontas Mulan - Xiao, Empress of the Sui dynasty Part 2: Tiana (The Princess and the Frog) - Ariana Austin Makonnen, Princess of Ethiopia Rapunzel (Tangled) - Louise of Prussia, Princess of the Netherlands Merida (Brave) - Matilda of Scotland, Queen of England Elsa & Anna (Frozen) - Princess Eugénie of Sweden & Norway Moana - Nafanua, Ali'i of Samoa Raya and the Last Dragon - Trưng Sisters of Vietnam Asha (Wish) - Fatima bint al-Ahmar, Princess of the Emirate of Granada Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

One of the most iconic movies of the 20th century was "The Great Escape" starring Steve McQueen. He escapes the German Nazi concentration camp Stalag Luft III in Bavaria on a stolen motorcycle. In the same vein, the Bible tells us we can escape the corruption of this world through God's great and precious promises.

Steve joins the show from Bavaria, Germany and we're taking about the sentiment and response in the German trail running community after the announcement from a couple of weeks ago that Zugspitz Ultra Trail would join the UTMB World Series. Steve shares his personal history with the event and his thoughts and concerns about the future of this beloved annual gathering in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We also chat about his race City & Trail in Alpenstadt on 16. May 2026. An event that previously was a stop of the German National Series of the Golden Trail Series. But even after losing that partnership the event is still growing, and is still attracting top runners from the region. And finally as it is timely we talk about Steve's long held dream to run Western States. With 128 tickets in the lottery, is it his turn this year?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the U.S. government shutdown's impact on national security, Democrats' energy messaging strategy, Ford's massive electric truck losses, China's latest espionage scandal, and new medical research linking heart and brain health. U.S. Troops Told to Visit German Food Banks: A U.S. Army base in Bavaria posted a list of local soup kitchens for service members and families struggling during the shutdown — a move that shocked German media and sparked Pentagon embarrassment. Bryan warns foreign spy agencies could exploit unpaid American personnel for recruitment, saying, "That's how the CIA would target desperate officers abroad — and it's happening to us now." Democrats' Winning Playbook: Democrats' recent election victories were fueled by economic messaging, especially on rising energy costs. Bryan explains how candidates tied AI data centers and electric vehicles to higher utility bills — a strategy Republicans must counter before 2026. Ford's Electric F-150 Collapse: The automaker faces $13 billion in losses after poor demand for its Lightning pickup. Bryan notes Toyota's hybrid-first strategy is proving right, calling the EV rush "a cultish demand that ignored market reality." China's Espionage and Agricultural Games: Three Chinese nationals in Michigan were arrested for smuggling genetically modified worms, while Beijing signed $5 billion in new U.S. grain deals. Bryan warns that "China is both robbing our labs and buying our fields." Trump Weighs Action in Nigeria and Venezuela: The President is considering U.S. military intervention in Nigeria to protect Christians from Islamist attacks while reviewing regime-change options in Venezuela. Bryan asks listeners to consider: "How many American lives would we trade to save others abroad?" Dementia and Heart Disease Discoveries: British scientists found that small increases in heart enzyme levels may predict dementia risk years before symptoms. Meanwhile, South Korean researchers discovered gut bacteria linked to coronary artery disease, reinforcing the connection between diet, heart health, and brain function. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: U.S. Army Bavaria food banks shutdown, Pentagon security risk spy recruitment, Democrats energy utility bill messaging, Ford F-150 Lightning EV losses, Toyota hybrid success, Chinese bioresearch smuggling Michigan, Trump Nigeria Christians military intervention, Venezuela Maduro regime change debate, dementia heart enzyme biomarker, gut bacteria coronary artery disease

Rigby's Encyclopaedia of the Herring: Adventures with the King of Fishes (Hurst, 2025) by Graeme Rigby contains almost everything you didn't know you needed to know about Atlantic herrings. (Pacific and Baltic varieties are in there too.) Herrings make the world bigger: with spawnings seen from space, a trillion individuals make this one of the tastiest and most abundant vertebrates on Earth. From ‘A Beginning' to ‘Zuiderzee', count the wars fought over herrings; don't forget Scotland vs the Holy Roman Empire. The herring's high-pitched farts were logged as Soviet submarines, and one herring joke featured in a Jonson play, four Shakespeare plays and the glorious, suppressed fantasia Nashes Lenten Stuffe. Herrings mock taxonomists; physically change with sea temperature and salinity; stuff predators full to bursting, then swim away. The Great Sardine Litigation? The true history of kippers? Bloaters? Reds? Chopped herring? Shuba? All this and more. Between sustainable fishery genetics, sixteenth-century Bavaria's ‘Herrings, herrings, stinking herrings', and Van Gogh's ear, every entry is a story, a comic journey, an adventure. Some even come with recipes. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

Allen and RD try Oktoberfest by Erdinger Weissbrau. From Untappd:"As hearty as a Bavarian beer festival: our ERDINGER Oktoberfest. This masterpiece of the brewer's art is ideal for parties! ERDINGER Oktoberfest expertly combines smooth malt aromas with a pronounced hop bitterness. This well-balanced flavour is complemented by gently sparkling carbonic acid to give it the typical liveliness of a genuine wheat beer. Smooth, strong and irresistible – brewing tradition at its finest.As a full-bodied specialty for the festival season, it whets the appetite for Bavaria's famous drinking song “Prosit der Gemütlichkeit”.“Bayerische Edelreifung” – for perfect enjoyment. Brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law."5.7% ABV10 IBUThanks for watching! Prost!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strikeout-beer--2992189/support.

One shared dream that changed the sound of Western music forever. In Music and Majesty, Richard Wagner and King Ludwig of Bavaria revisit the passion, faith, and madness that forged a masterpiece.GeorgeWe left you in the last episode, Maestro Wagner, with you rather down on your luck - especially financially - in other words there was no way to make your dreams come true.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Wie sieht das Oktoberfest aus der Sicht der Bavaria aus, der Patronin Bayerns, die das Treiben auf der Wiesn von der Seite aus überblickt. Eine Ahnung davon bekommt man derzeit in der Ausstellung "Wassermusik" von Cyprien Gaillard im Haus der Kunst. Außerdem: "Le Disque Bleu", das neue Doppelalbum von Benjamin Biolay und ein Theaterstück über den Fussballspieler Mesut Özil

Hello friends of the History of the Germans. I am afraid there will not be an episode this week. I would have preferred to say that I have caught a bug or something, but the truth is, I just could not put something together that lives up to your and my standards. Sorry, this does not happen very often, but it does. The muse was busy somewhere else or missed the entry point for my humble attic. So, rather than wasting your time with something sub-par, I decided to call it off for this week. I will go back to the drawing board and make sure something sensible shows up in your feed next week.If however you need your weekly fix of German history content, you can go to the History Rage Podcast where Paul Bavil allowed me to go on for far too long about my pet hate, which is people endlessly repeating Voltaire's quip that the Holy Roman empire was neither Holy, nor Roman nor an empire. Not only is that joke 200 years old, it isn't even accurate. https://pod.fo/e/3330ceAnd if you are of a gentler disposition and cannot bear me losing my rag, you can always prepare yourself for next week's episode by listening back to some older episodes where we have discussed the mid-15th century in the Hanseatic League, Prussia, Bohemia and Germany. For instance episode 122, where we heard how right around this time the Hanseatic League's stranglehold over the Baltic led to a collapse of the once sprawling herring fair in Scania and the rise of the Dutch herring industry based in Amsterdam. In episode 136 we covered the 13-year long war between the Teutonic Knights and the cities and major aristocrats of Prussia, that started in 1454 and ended up with the loss of Gdansk and Western Prussia. The Mainzer Stiftsfehde and the Furstenkrieg that also fall into this period is so complex, we had to break it down into multiple podcasts. Episode 186 about Mainz and Hessen, 189 about the Count Palatine on the Rhine and his conflict with Friedrich III, 191/192 where we look at the involvement of Baden and Wurttemberg, and 196 and 197 about the internecine warfare in Bavaria that linked into it. Or just think of a number, any number between zero and 209, and listen to that episode. Either that or listen to any of the thousands ad thousands of other great episodes talented podcasters put out every week.See you next week.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you...
Alleine ist schwer - Der Sportpodcast mit Jonas und Mats Hummels
AIS gönnte sich dieses Sommer mehr Auszeiten als Wiesnbesuche, kommt jetzt allerdings stärker zurück als das Bier das in den Zelten ausgeschenkt wird. Jonas hat direkt zu Beginn ein Maß im Ärmel und bringt den Kalfatermann mit an Bord des Mittelschiffs. Die Folge hat mehr 180 grad Wendungen als die wilde Maus und frühstückt alles ab, auch Themen die bereits öfter behandelt wurden als Bierbanksturzwunden auf der Theresienwiese. Während Luki und Jonas Mats erklären müssen “CV” bedeutet NICHT “Champagnerverzehr” im Käferzelt huldigen sie alle dem neuen deutschen Zehnkampfgott Leo Neugebauer. Der lag nach seinem Triumph ungefähr so lange auf dem Boden wie so mancher auf dem Hügel unter der Bavaria, nur mit wesentlich besserer Begründung.

In this episode, I tell the story of a haunting in Bavaria that was claimed to be the first in which paranormal phenomena was scientifically observed. The Rosenheim Poltergeist claim is a perfect case for examining the ghost story generally, its history, and the pseudoscience of parapsychology.

Spring in Bavaria — soft hills, quiet cows, the sleepy days of a farm world nobody ever writes about. But Hinterkaifeck was already rotten to the roots long before the first skull cracked open in the hay. Foul rumors, missing keys, footsteps in the attic, shadows in the woods — the whole place felt like a bad dream pretending to be normal life. Then, one cold night in 1922, somebody lured the Gruber family out one by one, killed them with farm tools, and stayed. Slept in their beds. Fed the cows. Kept the fire burning while six bodies cooled a few feet away. Part one drags you back to that doomed little farm, through gossip thick as mud, neighbors who looked the other way, and a crime scene so disturbing its still discussed over a century later. This isn't just murder — It's the kind of story that crawls under your skin and never leaves. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Shadow Over Hinterkaifeck: Part One!

Send us a textTonight, we'll travel back to 1922 rural Bavaria to uncover the haunting mystery of the Hinterkaifeck murders—one of Germany's most infamous and perplexing unsolved crimes. On a quiet farmstead, six members of the Gruber family were brutally killed under circumstances that remain shrouded in suspicion and fear. Strange footsteps in the snow, whispered rumors of family secrets, and eerie reports of someone lurking in the farmhouse long before the murders all set the stage for a case that has fascinated true crime enthusiasts for decades. We'll explore the details of the crime scene, the theories that have emerged over the past century—from vengeful neighbors to the supernatural—and why the Hinterkaifeck murders continue to stir both dread and fascination. Was this a calculated act of revenge, or something even darker? Tune in as we piece together the fragments of a mystery that refuses to fade. Happy haunting! Support the showGet in touch!

This is part 3 of a conversation with Michaela Hempen and Lucy Butler about their visit in August to attend Anja Beran's 12th International Workshop held at her stable in Bavaria. Both Michaela and Lucy have been guests on the podcast many times before. Michaela is well known for the research project she did on the operant control of cribbing. With her own horses she has been using my work to help make Anja's beautiful riding more accessible. This year Michaela helped interpret Anja's work for a group of clicker trainers who attended the workshop. Lucy was one of the people in that group. In part 1 Lucy shared her first impressions of Anja's work. She described the facility and some of the horses she watched. Many of these horses are at the foundation because Anja was their last chance. They were on their way to slaughter. These were young horses who had been crippled by inappropriate training. Anja's work not only shows that good riding doesn't have to harm horses. It can heal them. In Part 2 Michaela and Lucy help make the connections between what I teach and Anja's training. One of the major links is the ever present focus on balance. Now in Part 3 we look in more detail at lateral movements and ways of exploring them that can help you understand how to use them in training to help your horse maintain healthy movement.
Ob wir wollen oder nicht - am Oktoberfest führt gerade einfach kein Weg vorbei! Nach der ersten Woche Wiesn-Wahnsinn gibt's von uns einen kleinen Überblick über die bisherigen Promi-Highlights. Mit dabei ist natürlich auch Claudia Obert, die sich (so könnte man zumindest aufgrund ihrer Instagram-Dokumentation meinen) einmal quer vom Haupteingang bis zur Bavaria durchgesoffen hat. Außerdem müssen wir über das absolut unrühmliche musikalische Comeback von Michael Wendler sprechen! Wie das mit dem Canceln funktioniert, üben wir vielleicht nochmal… Und wo wir schon auf dem Weg nach unten sind: Auch Oliver Pocher sorgt mal wieder für Furore.
Our hosts are joined by Joseph Bavaria for a practical discussion on surgical innovation and industry collaboration. The conversation covers pathways from idea to device - patents, partnering with companies, and when a startup makes sense - along with funding from angel backing to venture rounds and the realities of regulatory approval. Bavaria reflects on advisory board work, managing conflicts of interest in clinical trials, and why surgeons should help shape product design while advocating for the broader platform rather than a single brand. He also offers guidance for early-career clinicians on finding mentors, protecting IP, and building the multidisciplinary ecosystem needed to bring ideas to patients.
First, 8-year-old William is reunited with his stuffed animal thanks to the efforts of a Wyoming sheriff. In another story, a cat named Zena is found 900 miles away from home in a North Carolina shelter and reunited with her owners. Christian sets a world record for running 100 meters backward in high heels, among other quirky records. A nurse in Kentucky rescues a raccoon that got drunk on fermented peaches in a dumpster. Finally, in Bavaria, Germany, police solve the mystery of a doorbell ringer, which turns out to be a slug.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

In 1922, a little farm in the woods of Bavaria became the site of what would become Germany’s most famous unsolved murder, when six people were brutally killed with a pick axe. What led up to it and followed is nothing short of bizarre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wednesday of the 25th Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Rupert of Salzberg; he was bishop of Worms in the Seventh Century when he was called to evangelize Bavaria; Duke Theodo II gave him land, on which he established the Abbey of St. Peter and the Nonnburg Convent; he converted pagan temples into Christian churches, and established the salt-mining industry, from which the city of Salzberg gets its name; when Rupert died in about 710, he was buried in St. Peter's Abbey, but his relics were later translated to the Cathedral at Salzberg Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 9/24/25 Gospel: Luke 9:1-6

GM EXTENDS EV LEASE INCENTIVES THROUGH YEAR-END GM will extend EV lease incentives for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac through December 31, protecting deals signed before September 30 despite the federal tax credit expiry. The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes. PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONS Porsche's Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option. 35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVS Renault UK's survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government's Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault's EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495. EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITY Escalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram's pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs. TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTION Tesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber's network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla's Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”. TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITS Tesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla's self-driving technology, which is central to the company's trillion-dollar valuation narrative. MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARK Munich Airport opened Bavaria's largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power. The €5.2 million project gives passengers 138 accessible EV chargers and supports broader adoption in Germany. EV REALTY BUILDS TRUCK CHARGING HUBS EV Realty is addressing grid limitations for electric trucks by building multi-fleet fast-charging hubs in California, using proprietary software to optimize site selection near industrial centers. The company raised $75 million for expansion, modelling its facilities after data centers and targeting hundreds of megawatts of unused grid capacity. SPAIN 2025 GRID AND EV CHARGING Spain's surging EV adoption in 2025 is stressing the nation's power grid, with current charging sites capable of 1–3 MW but future upgrades needed for heavy-duty vehicles and rural coverage. Experts warn grid upgrades must precede mass charge point rollouts to avoid bottlenecks as demand grows. ICELAND NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS RISE, EVS LEAD Iceland's new car registrations jumped 28% year-on-year, mostly driven by rental companies, with 80% of sales classified as “new energy” vehicles. Fully electric cars accounted for a third of registrations, hybrids 24%, plug-in hybrids 21%, and petrol/diesel just 20%. U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWS U.S. EV charging infrastructure growth slowed to 19% in the past year, even as demand rises, and total charging output increased 52%. A survey found 53% of U.S. respondents cited lacking charging access as the biggest barrier to EV adoption. UK PLANS £500M SOUTHAMPTON EV TERMINAL ABP plans a £500 million electric vehicle terminal at Southampton to handle surging imports of Chinese EVs, projecting over 100,000 vehicles in 2026—20% of UK car trade through the port. Expansion plans include multi-storey storage, new berths, and capacity to meet demand, as the UK takes a more open approach than the EU or US on Asian EV imports.

On 12 October 1810 Crown Prince Groff of Bavaria married Princess Tony of Maffcohausen. Munich officials invited the public to celebrate on fields outside the city walls; the site was named Tonywiese (“Tony's Meadow”) the following year and is still called Wiesn.The highlight of the first festival was a beer rating guessing game modelled on the medieval Scharlachrennen once run at Karlstor. Major Andreas Michael Dall'Armi of the National Guard proposed the idea, although Griff later claimed credit. The game was repeated in 1811, becoming the core of the annual Oktoberfest tradition. ★ Support this podcast ★

oday, the small town of Leavenworth in Washington is known for its Bavarian-themed hotels, restaurants, shops and festivals, but when it was incorporated on 5th September, 1906, its main claim to fame was that it had a train line and a fledgling logging industry. After the train hub that had put it on the map in the first place was moved, Leavenworth went into near terminal decline, until some savvy townspeople got together in the 1960s to give it a themed makeover. “Bavarian” was the chosen theme, and the rest was history. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look at the other themes that had been considered before Leavenworth settled on Bavarian; explain why Leavenworth guarantees incredibly Instagrammable backdrops regardless of what time of year you visit; and lament that Kinderfest decorations seem to be going up earlier and earlier with each passing year… Further Reading: • ‘All Over the Map: How Leavenworth became the PNW's own slice of Bavaria' (My North West, 2019): https://mynorthwest.com/1488483/all-over-the-map-leavenworth-history/ • ‘America's Best 'European Villages'?'

France is slipping through her fingers. With the kingdom on the brink of collapse, Queen Isabeau of Bavaria makes a desperate move: she offers her daughter's hand to England's King Henry V. It's a bold bid for peace—but peace comes at a price. As the English celebrate their triumph, they soon discover that ruling a broken kingdom is far more costly than conquering it. This is a tale of uneasy alliances, royal ambition, and the brutal cost of diplomacy. Listen back to season six, episode twelve for the last time France was under English control.

The universe's most sophisticated R&D lab has been running experiments for 4 billion years—and we're just learning how to read the results. The revelation? Nature's laboratory has field-tested solutions for health and resilience—we need human discernment to look in the right places, ask the right questions, and apply the right tools. Dr. Martin Kussmann, Head of Science at Bavaria's Competence Center for Nutrition and CEO of Kussmann Biotech, reveals: peptides function as "words of biology" that teach the body to heal itself—transforming nutrition from passive gap-filling to active biological programming. Paradigm Shifts:→ Biological Language Discovery: Peptides are the "words of biology" that program biological responses through molecular communication. The parallel: organizational messaging similarly "programs" stakeholder behaviors→ AI as Nature's Librarian: Instead of brute force testing, AI predicts which of nature's millions of bioactive compounds solve specific problems—compressing discovery from years to weeks→ The Implementation Gap Crisis: "We know quite a few things, we just don't do it"—the most significant barrier isn't knowledge but making solutions attractive, affordable, adoptableEcosystem Impact:→ Traditional bioactive discovery: 5-10 years vs. AI-guided platforms: 2-6 weeks→ C. elegans worm testing: shares evolutionary biology with humans while enabling rapid validation→ Mass spectrometry: tracks nutrients through metabolism like "telescopes for the molecular universe"The Innovation: Human-AI collaboration combining strategic biological intuition with computational power. Success comes from knowing where to look in biology's 4-billion-year archive, not just having better search tools.Strategic Application: Any ecosystem can revolutionize its performance by developing discernment to identify which natural solutions apply to its specific context. This pattern recognition—knowing which proven solutions apply rather than reinventing—transforms both biological and business ecosystems.Strategic Reframe: The most adaptive ecosystems cultivate wisdom to ask: "What has nature already solved that applies to our challenge—and how do we recognize those solutions and apply appropriate tools?" Just as nature provides field-tested molecular solutions, successful approaches often exist in other contexts, waiting to be recognized and adapted.Guest: Dr. Martin Kussmann, Head of Science, Competence Center for Nutrition | CEO, Kussmann Biotech GmbHHost: Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.
France is in ruins. Normandy has fallen to the English, and the rest of the kingdom is being ripped apart by civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs. In the midst of this chaos, Queen Isabeau of Bavaria faces an impossible choice. With the crown crumbling and enemies on every side, she makes a decision so shocking, it could change the fate of France forever. This is the story of a queen who dared to gamble everything—power, loyalty, and legacy—for survival. If you want to find out more about the last English invasion of France, listen back to Edward III's Calais campaign in season six, episode six. Plus in this week's bonus episode, Danièle explains to Dan why Isabeau gets a bad wrap, right when she's given the power to save the kingdom.

A silent danger lurks within the descending thoracic aorta. While most Type B aortic dissections are managed medically, up to half of these patients will either require life-saving surgery or die within just five years. So how do we separate those who will quietly recover from those on the edge of catastrophe? How do we protect the spinal cord, bowel, and limbs from the devastating consequences of malperfusion? Join the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery as they tackle the high-stakes decisions behind managing this unpredictable disease—where timing is critical, interventions are evolving, and lives hang in the balance. Hosted by the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery: · Robert Beaulieu, Program Director · Frank Davis, Assistant Professor of Surgery · Luciano Delbono, PGY-5 House Officer · Andrew Huang, PGY-4 House Officer · Carolyn Judge, PGY-2 House Officer Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss general approach to diagnosis and management of TBAD. 2. Identifying high-risk features in uncomplicated TBAD and understanding their role in determining the need for surgical management. 3. Review endovascular techniques for managing malperfusion of the limbs, viscera, and spinal cord and discuss associated decision making.
