Since 1972 a unique cultural exchange program has connected Southern Door with Belgium, where many of its first settlers came from. Muraelle Havet, an exchange visitor from Brussels, Belgium, joins Myles Dannhausen Jr. and her host, Bill Chaudoir, to talk about her impressions of Door County and the strong connection between Wisconsin's Belgian settlement and Wallonia.

Belgian police this week questioned two Israelis who had served in Gaza during the war and were attending a music festival in Belgium. They were questioned over allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law but released after a few hours. The case was hailed as a “turning point in the global pursuit of accountability” by a Belgium-based group called the Hind Rajab Foundation, which has campaigned for the arrest of Israeli troops it accuses of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This wasn’t the first case when Israelis travelling abroad have been targeted. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Eran Shamir-Borer, Director of the Israel Democracy Institute’s Center for Security and Democracy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“At the heart of [the beer industry] is the beer drinker who just loves beer, appreciates quality, and wants to share that experience.”Ahead of their biggest event of the year, Ramjet Day, we joined Boatrocker founders Matt and Andrea Houghton at their Barrel Room in Braeside.Given Matt and his brewers have released more beers in different styles than pretty much anyone in Australia since 2009 – not to mention their move into spirits after they absorbed former Perth distillery Hippocampus – there's plenty of discussion of their approach beyond the iconic Ramjet and its many spin-offs.We head back well beyond the launch of their first beer, Alpha Queen, to the European travels before they met that opened their eyes to the breadth and beauty of the beer world, how they manage such a diverse portfolio and adapt to the changing market, and the importance of community.After Andrea dashes off to collect their kids from school, Matt offers his thoughts on many of the issues impacting the industry – from cheap kegs and VAs to Australia's convoluted tax system – plus some tips for anyone thinking of starting out today.Prior to the main interview, James joins Will from Kings Canyon to cast an eye over the week's news, including the latter's interview with Eclectic Brewing, a guide to beer in Montreal, and the arrival in our brewery directory of inner-west Sydney breweries Bracket and Pickled Monkey.We also flag the launch of Blobfish 2025 – including a ticket giveaway for our beer club members – and there's the return, mid-show, of Milo Applebottom with another film tie-in for Point Break Brewery Invitational 2025.Start of segments: 8:49 – Matt & Andrea Houghton, Boatrocker 40:31 – Point Break Brewery Invitational ft Milo Applebottom 43:42 – Matt Houghton, BoatrockerTo find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

THE SMURFS TAKE ON THE BIG APPLE!! The Smurfs Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! With Rihanna starring in the upcoming 2025 Smurfs Reboot, we're giving our THE SMURFS (2011) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander and John Humphrey go full blue in this nostalgic deep dive into The Smurfs (2011), the live-action/CGI hybrid comedy directed by Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo, Beverly Hills Chihuahua). Based on the beloved Belgian comic and 1980s animated series, this family adventure catapults the tiny blue creatures from their peaceful village into the chaos of modern-day New York City after they escape the evil sorcerer Gargamel through a magical portal. The film features a talented voice cast led by Jonathan Winters (Mork & Mindy, The Flintstones) as the wise Papa Smurf, Katy Perry (pop superstar, Jeremy Scott: The People's Designer) as the sweet and sassy Smurfette, George Lopez (Rio, The George Lopez Show) as Grouchy, Alan Cumming (X2: X-Men United, The Good Wife) as Gutsy, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Alpha Dog) as Clumsy, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Brainy, and Paul Reubens (Pee-wee's Big Adventure) as Jokey. On the human side, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series of Unfortunate Events) stars as Patrick Winslow, a marketing executive who helps the Smurfs find their way back home, with Jayma Mays (Glee, Red Eye) as his supportive wife, and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Godzilla) fully embracing the role of the villainous Gargamel in a delightfully over-the-top performance. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) also appears as Patrick's demanding boss. Packed with slapstick comedy, magical hijinks, and heartwarming moments, the film includes memorable scenes like the Smurfs causing chaos in FAO Schwarz, Gargamel's frantic chase through Central Park, and Papa Smurf's touching leadership that anchors the team. Whether you grew up with the classic cartoons or are discovering these characters for the first time, The Smurfs delivers a colorful, family-friendly ride.

Boss of the seminal Belgian techno imprint, Token, and absolute legend of the game, Kr!z returns to the series with a propulsive monster of a mix, ready to take you into the zone, halfway some demented inward dive and trance-inducing dance floor occultism. Boasting the kind of corrosive punch and textural maestria that've come to define his style, both elegant and tendinous, Kr!z dishes out a mind-altering treat of a sonic journey, packed to the rafters with spine-tingling climaxes and chiselled crescendos. As the true master of the craft he is, Kr!z unfolds his narrative like a sonic origami of sorts, preserving each twist and turn from easy spoiling and maintaining the kind of tension throughout that keeps you craving for that next bar like some mystic revelation. Thrilling as it gets. 

Graham Watson didn't just photograph bike races — he lived them, from the back of a motorbike, chasing the world's Greatest Cyclists through cobbled streets, Alpine climbs, and chaotic sprints for over 40 years. In this episode, Graham joins us from his porch in New Zealand to reflect on a career that started in a London portrait studio and somehow led to shooting legends like Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Lance Armstrong, Tom Boonen, Greg LeMond, Marco Pantani, Bernard Hinault and many more — often at 50 km/h, with a camera in hand and no second chances. We talk about how photography evolved over four decades on the road — from film to digital, darkroom prints to wireless image delivery, Nikon FM2s to the D5. Graham shares how he handled pressure, what made a good race a photographer's dream, great personal stories and why chasing light and landscapes was just as important as chasing the riders. We also talk about a photographer's retirement, life in New Zealand, Belgian beer, and the making of his beautiful book 40 Years of Cycling Photography — a visual time capsule of a life spent chasing moments most of us only ever see from the sidelines. Whether you're a photographer who loves cycling, or a cyclist who loves photography — this one's for you. *****

At the begining of the week Mo from Deft Brewing said they focused on three regions of beer styles: British, Germanic and Belgian. Up to this point we've yet to see a Belgian, so Mo is making up for lost time with a 10% ABV monster Belgian Quad called DeftCon 4.

Now here's your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes.  Allen Hall 2025: Well welcome back to Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I have Rosemary Barnes down in Canberra Australia. Phil's in California, and evidently he lives next door to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and I, I had no idea, Phil, like you're that close to royalty.  Phil Totaro: I'm not. You're  Allen Hall 2025: making that up. Joel's up in Wisconsin somewhere in the northern wilds of Wisconsin. Next to a cheese factory, and here I sit in Charlotte, North Carolina. If we've been paying attention or if you've been paying attention to the news over the last, uh, 48 hours in America has been complete chaos as we are recording this and the US Senate has [00:01:00] passed a bill regarding renewable energy and it's back to the house. Supposedly this is all gonna get signed off by the 4th of July. So we're recording it. Today is July 2nd. Um. So by the time you hear this, something may or may not have happened, and we're trying to keep abreast of the latest, but I think there's some other news going on around the world. And, uh, one of the stories we found interesting was the Danish Offshore, uh, agency Energy Agency has approved permit extensions for two of Denmark's oldest offshore wind farms, which marks a major milestone for. Wind energy longevity. The middle Gruden and Newstead offshore wind farms have received permission to operate for an additional 25 years and 10 years respectively. That is massive extension. Uh, the middle Gruden facility, which is built in 2001, has about 20 turbines and about 40 megawatts of capacity, and it's owned by a community cooperative. [00:02:00] And the Danes being on top of all these things, uh, allowed the extension after doing an engineering analysis showing that the infrastructure has more life. This is unusual. Is this just a artifact of early designs being overly conservative? And these wind farms can practically live forever? I think so. I, uh,  Joel Saxum: I like it. Alright. I wish that all these wind turbines are built this way because it's then you can get more longevity of, I think now of course when everybody has a repower now or tries to extend life, they're trying to really do it. So they're trying to, if we're gonna put money, we'll try to, you know, up the kilowatt, we'll try to up the capacity, well then the foundations don't hold and these kind of things. So it's kind of like if you look at, um. I'm up here in northern Wisconsin, not too far from my house. There's a bridge that was built by the CCC, uh, the civilian Conservation Corps in like the, um, at the Great Depression. So like in the 1930s, late, [00:03:00] late 1920s. And that bridge is fine. Like it's golden. It's still good, right? But it was overbuilt, super built to be heavy duty construction. And there's another bridge just down the road from that same one over the same river that was done in the seventies that needs a complete replacement. Because it was done, it was done with like, you know, di different design functions, not as robust. And,

Elanga is yet to complete his move to Newcastle, but have we already decided on his replacement? For Exclusive Content Join FFTV Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ForestFanTV The dust is still settling on Anthony Elanga's £55m move to Newcastle United, but Nottingham Forest are wasting no time in the transfer market! Reports today confirm that PSV Eindhoven's Johan Bakayoko is Nuno Espirito Santo's top target to replace the Swedish star. With Forest banking a hefty profit from Elanga's sale, the club is eyeing the 22-year-old Belgian winger, who could be available for around £30m due to his soon-to-expire contract. Join Wolfie as he breaks down the latest on this exciting transfer saga and what it means for Forest's attacking lineup. Wolfie dives deep into Johan Bakayoko's profile, comparing him to Elanga's pace, flair, and counter-attacking threat. Bakayoko, a long-term Forest target, shone at PSV with his goal-creating actions and dynamic wing play, but can he match Elanga's 6.65 crosses per 90 minutes and Premier League-proven output? With interest from other European clubs and Forest's need for two new wingers, the race is on to secure the Belgian star. Wolfie shares his thoughts on whether Bakayoko is the perfect fit and how Edu Gaspar's appointment as global head of football operations could give Forest an edge in negotiations. What do you think about Johan Bakayoko as Elanga's replacement? Can he fill the void left by the Swedish speedster, or should Forest look elsewhere?

In this Forest Fan TV update, Wolfie dissects what Sosa's exit means for Nuno Espirito Santo's squad as they prepare for the Premier League and Europa Conference League. After a challenging first season at the City Ground, where the 25-year-old Paraguayan made 23 appearances but started only four, Sosa's move to Brazil follows his struggle for regular game time. With Sosa's exit confirmed, Wolfie dives into who could replace the versatile winger, with Forest already linked to exciting talents like Lyon's Malick Fofana and PSV's Johan Bakayoko. Fofana, a 20-year-old Belgian speedster, has a deal agreed with Lyon but is holding out for Champions League clubs, while Bakayoko's flair could fill the void left by Sosa's pace on the left flank. Wolfie analyses how these potential signings could fit into Nuno's system and maintain Forest's attacking dynamism! The transfer market is heating up with reports of a potential fire sale at Juventus, and Wolfie breaks down the players linked to Nottingham Forest, including Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz.

When 24-year-old Belgian backpacker Davine Arckens reached out to a man on Gumtree about working on his farm, she was excited. The 88 days of labour would mean she could stay in Australia on a tourist visa for an extra year. She couldn’t wait to spend more time in a country she thought was safe and full of nice people. When Davine met the man, it didn’t take long for her to realise she’d made a terrible mistake. What followed was two harrowing days where she was held against her will and an escape that made national headlines.

Could Forest do another deal with Lyon for their younger winger Fofana? To Buy Wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Breaking news has sent Nottingham Forest fans into a frenzy as transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that Forest have struck a deal with Lyon for 20-year-old Belgian winger Malick Fofana, valued at €50m, following Lyon's relegation to Ligue 2. However, Romano clarifies there's no agreement yet with the player, who is reportedly holding out for a Champions League club, with Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Napoli also in the race. Wolfie will dive into this blockbuster transfer saga, dissecting the credibility of these claims amidst contradictory reports. With conflicting reports swirling, Wolfie will analyse the accuracy of Romano's update against posts on X and other sources suggesting the deal's status is uncertain. While Lyon's financial woes make a transfer likely, Fofana's reluctance to commit—preferring a Champions League move—raises questions about whether Forest can seal the deal. Wolfie will break down Fofana's playing style, highlighting his versatility as a winger, his blistering speed, and his ability to cut in from either flank, drawing comparisons to Forest's own Anthony Elanga. What do Forest fans think—should Nuno push to secure Malick Fofana, or is the young star's hesitation a red flag? With competition from heavyweights like Chelsea and Bayern, and Forest's recent transfer activity targeting players like Georges Mikautadze and Pablo Maffeo, Wolfie will weigh the pros and cons of bringing Fofana to the City Ground. Could he be the key to replacing potential departures like Jota Silva, linked with Sporting CP, or even Anthony Elanga, rumoured to be on Newcastle's radar?

In this episode, Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik and cultural mediator Sun Kim discuss their new documentary “North South Man Woman.” The film explores the emotional complexities of North Korean defectors trying to build lives — and relationships — in South Korea, with a special focus on matchmaking between DPRK women and ROK men. Traavik and Kim reflect on the documentary's five-year production process, the personal journeys of their protagonists and how issues of cultural identity, trauma, gender roles and social integration shape life after defection. They also unpack how the film balances moments of lightness and pain, and how storytelling can illuminate the human costs of geopolitical division. Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik has undertaken several provocative and boundary-pushing art and film projects involving North Korea. His work often explores themes of cultural exchange, propaganda and the role of art in politically charged environments. He previously appeared on epsiode 103 of the podcast.  His collaborator Sun Kim is a Korean American and Belgian producer and cultural mediator for a number of Morten's exchanges with North Korean authorities for over a decade.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.
