Robbie and Paul first met each other almost 3 years ago when Robbie attended his first Zimbabwe Professional Guides Association meeting in Victoria Falls. At that meeting Robbie was introduced to Paul's extensive knowledge about all things history, anthropology, and natural sciences. Paul is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Paul Hubbard lives in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and is a guide, anthropologist, archaeologist, and general “knower of all things” as it relates to the history of hunting and hunting culture in Zimbabwe. Today, he and Robbie cover history from Stone Age to Iron Age hunters in Southern Africa in the first of what will be a long running series of podcasts we have here at Blood Origins!

Ian Harmer, the foremost walking safari guide for rhinos in Matopos, and owner of African Wanderer Safaris out of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe joins Robbie on the show from his safari in the Matapos Hills - a land full of mystique and magic and rhinos. The Matopos hills are rich with history, stories, and incredible wildlife including Rhinos. What's so good about Ian is that he has been in Matopos working for 30 years and literally knows Rhinos since their births. Ian isn't a hunter, he is a walking tour operator and a member of Zimbabwe Professional Guides Association. This is especially important podcast as Rhino poaching incidents start ramping up and asking someone who is on the ground daily with Rhino's - what is the path forward?  Get to know the guest: https://www.bhs-safari.co/blog-posts/on-the-podcast-campfire-conversations-with-ian-harmer-ft-jo-cooper https://www.facebook.com/AfricanWandererSafaris.IanHarmer/  Do you have questions we can answer?

Season 17, Ep 23: The Australian international summer is winding down, even with a major ICC tournament around the corner next week. A debrief on the Sri Lankan tour is our first order of business, noting that we did reach Murali's 800 in Galle after all. From there, the BazBall Death Cult has a certain ring to it, as does the idea of José Mourinho becoming cricket's Ted Lasso in the new privatised world of The Hundred. On a bumper ep, there's also time to sink our teeth into a brilliant Shield round and celebrate Ireland's Test success in Bulawayo.

Robbie was sitting down about to have a banquet at the Hunters Ball in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe when he received a text message. Now that is a feat unto itself, since Zimbabwe does not have a cell carrier that is compatible with Verizon, but somehow Robbie had connected to WiFi and got this text message. All it said was - "Louisiana State Record Whitetail has been broken." The pictures on his phone halfway around the world made his mouth drop. As Tyler Jordan says in this podcast, "probably the biggest typical whitetail that is likely going to be seen." Well, of course we had to podcast about it. It's not often that you get to record right after a history-making buck hits the ground, but that's exactly what we did. Robbie catches up with Drew and Tyler out of the Bayou State about their incredible achievement harvesting the new state record whitetail of Louisiana, a record that has stood since 1939. Hear their incredible story, the heart of the hunt behind it, and the incredible conservation work that goes into producing state record animals for us to enjoy. Do you have questions we can answer?

New Show Alert! In a new radio series, FoLake Saije will have a chat with the British Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Pete Vowles, to amplify the voices of some UK-based Zimbabweans as they share life lessons and career tips. Meanwhile, on this first episode, Folake and UK in Zimbabwe Ambassador Pete Vowels will be chatting with Dr. Phylis Makurunje, a high-flying material engineer at Wales's Nuclear Futures Institute, which is based at the University of Bangor. Phylis Makurunje is a Zimbabwean aerospace scientist leading cutting-edge research on nuclear-powered propulsion systems for space exploration at Bangor University's Nuclear Futures Institute in Wales. Her work includes research into reducing travel time to Mars. A graduate of NUST University in the second city of Bulawayo, Makurunje has been featured in Zimbabwe's state-controlled Herald newspaper: she told us during the podcast how much her parents had influenced her.

In today's conversation, I'm joined by Ray Motsi from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has a complex history, marked by significant violence stemming from the colonial rule of the British Empire and the subsequent fight for independence in the 1960s through the 80s. This history has deeply influenced the culture, where violence often became the preferred means of resolving conflict. The 1980s saw the continuation of this violence, with the government using brutal methods to suppress opposition. Amidst this culture of violence, Ray co-founded Grace to Heal in 2003, with the mission of helping people process trauma and fostering peace, reconciliation, justice, and conflict transformation in Zimbabwe. I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation with Ray as he shares his journey of standing alongside his people as a peacemaker.

Steve Tonkin is the Dark Sky Advisor to Cranborne Chase National Landscape, in Wiltshire. Cranborne Chase is a designate Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that, since 2019, has been recognised as an International Dark Sky Reserve.Steve can pinpoint 4 October 1957 as the first became aware of dark skies. His family were, at the time, living 8 miles outside Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and his father took him outside to see if they could see Sputnik which had been launched the previous day. It was his first time looking up at a pristine dark sky and it triggered a life-long passion for astronomy which has made him aware of the effects of light pollution, and he has been raising the issue with anyone who will listen for the last 30 years.After a first career as a telecommunications engineer, he did a BSc in Human Environmental Studies, then postgraduate work in technology policy, before training as a teacher. He taught physics, maths and astronomy in a variety of settings for 35 years, before retiring from teaching to concentrate on astronomy outreach activities. He has written several books on practical astronomy, has a monthly column in BBC Sky at Night Magazine, and is a regular speaker on astronomical topics.Starting with a programme he made for BBC Radio Bristol in the 1980s, Steve has long been an advocate of reducing light pollution. He supported the Cranborne Chase's International Dark Sky Reserve bid as a volunteer, taking sky quality readings and supporting the stargazing evenings by giving talks and showing people the night sky. His primary task as Dark Skies Advisor is to continue and consolidate the good work that has already been done and strengthen the Cranborne Chase's standing as an International Dark Sky Reserve.Light pollution is a global issue. The pollution itself is known to affect human health and wildlife behaviour and that is before considering the wasted energy involved in sending light upwards instead of downwards to where it is required. To take a Biophilic approach to the design of lighting is to reduce light pollution with direct and indirect benefits to nature.Steve explains that there are 21 International Dark Sky Reserves across the world that have been recognised as being of distinguished quality. He explains that these spaces are not about no lights but about the right light in the right place at the right time to preserve the area for heritage, educational and enjoyment purposes.Dark skies are relative. A truly dark sky is defined by Steve as one in which the Milky Way galaxy casts a shadow. In the context of Cranborne Chase, it means the ability to see the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye. Steve expresses his excitement at being able to see something that is 2.5 million light years away and has been visible to earth since before humans were even around and was visible to all humans ever until light pollution started to be introduced 200 years ago.Steve explains in some detail why it is important to take account of the circadian rhythm of light and darkness and how there is always a negative effect of introducing artificial light. He discusses the impact on the reproductive cycle of birds and relates that 8 to 10 million birds a year are killed by lit communication towers.Moving to humans, Steve tells of studies linking light pollution to · increased susceptibility to cancer;· increased incidence of obesity, diabetes and hypertension due to the impact of poor lighting on leptin levels (leptin being the hormone that tells you if you feel full); · the impact of the wrong sort of light on mental and physical health; and · the huge reduction in insect life (both pollinators and composters) and its impact on food production.Across a wide range of examples Steve explains how the wrong light can have disastrous consequences. He introduces the idea that not all light is the same and sets out what to look for in order to achieve healthy lighting.Steve enumerates the five principles of responsible lighting:1. if lighting doesn't have a clear purpose, don't do it2. lighting needs to be targeted3. don't use light brighter than is needed for the task4. use as warm colour as possible (i.e. low colour temperature)5. only have lighting on when it is neededThis leads to a fascinating discussion of lighting design, how it has improved over the last 30 years and of ways to achieve better lighting solutions.Listening to Steve, you learn that Dark Sky movements are not just to keep astronomers happy. It is really a heading that focusses thinking on lighting design and the health and environmental benefits of biophilic lighting design.https://darksky.org/Darkskies.ukhttps://darksky.uk/https://britastro.org/dark-skies/THE DARK SKY MANIFESTO - JOHAN EKLÖFPublisher: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/447865/the-darkness-manifesto-by-eklof-johan/9781529116106Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Darkness-Manifesto-pollution-threatens-ancient-ebook/dp/B0B41NCKRY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Have you got a copy of the Cities issue of The Journal of Biophilic Design (you can purchase a copy directly from us at the journalofbiophilicdesign.com or Amazon.

Zimbabwe's health ministry in collaboration with partners and stakeholders kicked off a four-day nationwide vaccination campaign today targeting 4.2 million children under the age of 10 for inoculation against a variant of polio which was recently detected in the country.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Mayor David Coltart live from Zimbabwe. Coltart is classified as a White man and has generations of family that have lived on the African continent. He wrote the book, The Struggle Continues: 50 Years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe, which is part autobiography, part Coltart's narrative of life and times in Zimbabwe. This White Man has live a fascinating life. He was in Boston for then-Senator Barack Obama's 2004 speech to the Democratic National Convention. He was conscripted to fight for the South African army - ostensibly, to help maintain the local System of White Supremacy. Before serving as Bulawayo mayor, he worked as an attorney of law - and is still practicing. One of his most famous clients is convicted killer Michael Swango, who's currently in a Colorado cage for the rest of his blond-haired life. After Swango absconded to Zimbabwe to avoid US authorities, he continued killing on the continent. When patients began dying and Swango was fired from his hospital post, Coltart accepted his case for wrongful termination. Because of the 90's atmosphere in southern Africa and the bizarre nature of the charges, Coltart believed Swango could be the victim of “anti-white prejudice” and “reverse racism.” Shoutout to the late Robert Mugabe. Closely scrutinize Mayor Coltart's commentary about his great great great grandparents being White Supremacists as well as his answer to being asked if there's evidence that White people are a danger to black people on the continent. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

I romanen Den gamle hesten (til norsk ved Bente Klinge) tas vi med til det oppdiktede landet Jidada, som er befolket med all slags dyr; brekende sauer, en selvsikker grise-predikant, blodtørstige hunder som utgjør landets sikkerhetspoliti, og helt på toppen: Den gamle hesten, som har styrt landet med jernhov siden frigjøringskrigen. Han er «den lengstsittende lederen på et kontinent av lengesittende ledere, faktisk i hele den vide verden».Forfatter NoViolet Bulawayo har hentet tydelig inspirasjon både fra George Orwells Animal Farm og den afrikanske tradisjonen med dyrefabler i sin allegoriske fortelling om Zimbabwe-president Robert Mugabes fall.I et boblende og lekent språk, der satiriske skråblikk, twitter-meldinger og sylskarpe observasjoner alle får plass, forteller Bulawayo historien om kuppet mot Robert Mugabe, slik det arter seg innad blant dyrene i Maktens Sirkel og for resten av folket. Gjennom geita Destiny, som har vendt tilbake etter mange år i eksil, får vi et utenfra-blikk på det som skjer, og i et mektig mor-datter-portrett blir vi med Destiny og moren på en reise tilbake til en del av landets blodige historie som lenge har vært tiet i hjel.Resultatet er en mesterlig satirisk fortelling der Bulawayo evner å løfte fram universelle temaer som frihet og undertrykkelse, håp og rettferdighet, og vise hvordan fortellingen er like relevant utenfor Zimbabwes grenser, der stadig flere land beveger seg i en autoritær retning.Forfatter NoViolet Bulawayo har klart kunststykket å bli nominert til den prestisjefylte Booker-prisen for begge sine romaner, både debuten Vi trenger nye navn (overs. Ina Vassbotn Steinman) i 2013 og Den gamle hesten i 2022. Hun har undervist i skriving ved Stanford University gjenom flere år, og hennes egen litteratur har vunnet en rekke priser og anerkjennelse fra kritikere.På Litteraturhuset møtte Bulawayo poet og skribent Priya Bains til samtale om fabler og dyr, litterær lekenhet og Zimbabwes nyere historie.

In the novel Glory, we find ourselves in the fictional country Jidada, which is peopled with all kinds of animals; bleating sheep, a confident pig preacher, vicious dogs making up the country's security forces, and at the very top: the Old Horse, who has ruled the country with an iron hoof ever since independence. He is «the longest-serving leader in a continent of long-serving leaders, and indeed in the whole wide world».Author NoViolet Bulawayo has drawn inspiration both from George Orwell's classic Animal Farm and the African tradition of animal fables in her allegorical story of Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe's fall.In a bubbling and playful language, where satirical quips, twitter updates and razor sharp observations all follow each other, Bulawayo tells the story of the coup against Mugabe as it plays out among the animals on the Seat of Power as well as among the public. Through the goat Destiny, returned after years in exile, we get an outsider's view on the events, and in a vivid mother-daughter portrait, we follow Destiny and her mother in a journey back to a part of the country's bloody history that has long been silenced.The result is a masterly satirical story in which Bulawayo explores universal themes such as freedom and repression, hope and justice, showing us how the story is relevant far beyond the borders of Zimbabwe, in a world where authoritarianism is on the rise.Writer NoViolet Bulawayo is the first African woman to appear on the prestigious Booker list twice, first for her 2013 debut We Need New Names and then for her second novel Glory in 2022. She has taught creative writing at Stanford for many years, and her own writing has earned her a number of prizes and accolades.At the House of Literature, Bulawayo was joined by poet and writer Priya Bains for a conversation about fables and animals, literary playfulness, and Zimbabwe's recent history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Video Version About the Podcast Another episode of The Outliers Inn with "The Beer Man" joining JP and Mule as co-co-host. Maybe he will become a regular co-co-host (he's already an irregular regular guest here at The Outliers Inn. After a brief acknowledgement that the Super Bowl was pretty entertaining, but nobody we know really cared who won, we get into more interesting topics. JP shares his recent experiences visiting southern Africa for an assignment with him starting in Johannesburg (Jo'berg) and then going to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He had been there many times before from around 1995(ish) through 2010(ish) and was looking very much forward to the return (JP simply loves southern Africa). What he loves the most is that it provides a giant, and healthy, attitude adjustment. As he explains, people in G20 countries have a tendency to complain about every little thing (real or imagined) that might possibly go wrong. All you have to do is watch videos of "Karens" to know what we mean. But in southern Africa (and many other less developed locations), things not going right are the norm and folks celebrate when things go as they should. The electricity is on? Yay! The internet is working? Yay! It's better to drive on the roads than on the shoulder? Yay! Getting arrested for speeding and being able to give the policeman $5 to be let go? Well, that works out better in southern Africa. Call it a "facilitation fee". Mule then shares his experiences with "The Peter Principle", where people get promoted to a level of incompetence. I am sure we have all seen it in action; some real rockstar (sales person, mechanic, whatever) get promoted to manage others in the hopes that the "magic dust" that makes him an expert gets sprinkled on those they will now manage. But the person is an expert at what they do, not being a manager. And unless taught those skills, will likely fail. Don shares his latest concoctions that are brewing. Sam shares his experiences training others in Denmark and that he will be supporting an office in Hamburg, Germany. And steve from southern California shares his love of golf and the work he is doing with a golf foundation and their work with youths, especially those who might not normally have the opportunity to be exposed to the game. To hear Steve describe it, the effort is a significant and impactful one that is responsible for millions of dollars in its programs; certainly not like something a person might expect from the local Kiwanis chapter. And no visit to The Outliers Inn would be complete without Mule going into very great detail about the high school robot competition with which he has been involved for many years. Give a listen!

What are the main social and political challenges facing Africa? How are the Evangelical churches responding? Are they able to stand up to the pandemic of corruption in Africa? And how can we partner in prayer with the churches in Africa? To answer these questions, Wissam al-Saliby interviewed Rev. Dr Goodwill Shana on the margins of a church consultation in Abuja, Nigeria. Dr Shana is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Word of Life International Ministries, founded in the City of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, in 1990. Dr Shana serves as the Chair of the International Council of the World Evangelical Alliance and President of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa. Prior, he had served as the President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe. A lawyer by training, Dr Shana provides in this episode a glimpse into his advocacy against corruption in Zimbabwe, where he served as a commissioner on the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and as the chair of Transparency International Zimbabwe.

Author NoViolet Bulawayo's new novel Glory is quite openly based on Orwell's Animal Farm and the 2017 coup in Zimbabwe that ousted then president Robert Mugabe. Horses rule the country, dogs are the military, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs are the everyday people. The government that has been in control of the country Jidada for 40 years has fallen to rebellion. But, as these things go, it quickly turns sour. Bulawayo told NPR's Scott Simon that "it is simply an issue of the leadership kind of forgetting [...] why the people they – that fought to serve – made the sacrifice that they did."

Mercurial musician Björk has just released her tenth album Fossora. She discusses its themes with Samira. Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize for the second time, this time for her second novel Glory. It recounts the political turmoil of Zimbabwe's recent past through a cast of animal characters. NoViolet tells Samira what made her want to approach the subject in this way. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of James Bond, Samira speaks to producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson about the immense impact and legacy of the franchise.

In a virtual event co-presented with our friends at Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley, MA, award-winning author NoViolet Bulawayo joined us to launch GLORY, her “manifoldly clever, brilliant... satire with sharper teeth” (The NYT Book Review). Inspired by the unexpected fall by coup in November 2017 of Robert G. Mugabe, Zimbabwe's president of nearly four decades, GLORY shows a country's imploding, narrated by a chorus of animal voices that unveil the ruthlessness required to uphold the illusion of absolute power and the imagination and bulletproof optimism to overthrow it completely. Bulawayo was joined by fellow acclaimed Zimbabwean author Novuyo Tshuma (House of Stone) for a reading and heartening discussion of the power of allegory, the importance of “reading dangerously”, and their vital belief that “a better Zimbabwe is possible”. (Recorded March 9, 2022.)

NoViolet Bulawayo is the author of the novels Glory and We Need New Names, which was recognized with the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, the Pen/Hemingway Award, the LA Times Book Prize Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction, the Etisalat Prize for Literature, the Fred Brown Literary Award, the Betty Trask Award, the Barnes and Noble Discover Award (second place), and the National Book Foundation “5 Under 35” Fiction Selection.

The new novel, Glory, by prize winning writing NoViolet Bulawayo is a postcolonial tale of power and tyranny – an African Animal Farm. It's set in the fictional Jidada, that resembles Zimbabwe during the overthrow of Robert Mugabe, and is populated by a vivid cast of animals – from the vicious dog-soldiers to the powerful Old Horse leader himself. She tells Adam Rutherford how her chorus of animal voices help reveal the human world more clearly. The journalist Dipo Faloyin wants to push against harmful stereotypes of modern Africa. In his latest book, Africa Is Not A Country, he argues that a continent of over 1.4 billion people, 54 countries and more than 2,000 languages has been reduced to a simplistic story. He looks at how politics, culture and community have emerged in different ways across Africa. Julia Gallagher is Professor of African Politics at SOAS, University of London. Her research explores the architecture of state buildings in different African countries – from the re-purposed colonial structures to the new palatial palaces of post-independence – and how citizens respond to them. Also as the African Union celebrates twenty years since it was founded – housed in a new compound built by the Chinese in Addis Ababa – she looks at the position of the AU in the 21st century.

Georgina Godwin meets Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo. Her first novel, ‘We Need New Names', was shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, making her the first Zimbabwean and first black African woman to make the shortlist. Her new novel ‘Glory', set in an animal kingdom called Jidada, tells the story of dashed hopes, corruption and greed following the fall of a dictator.

NoViolet Bulawayo joins Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher to talk about her latest novel, GLORY, which explores the waning days and political ouster of Robert Mugabe, the authoritarian leader who controlled NoViolet's home country of Zimbabwe for nearly four decades before he was overthrown in a coup spearheaded by his Vice President Emmanuel M-nang-gag-wa.  Allegorized as animals in the style of George Orwell's ANIMAL FARM—the major players in Mugabe's ouster and a chorus of citizens tell the story of utopian promise that becomes totalitarian terror, of ruthless political subterfuge and citizens' everyday survival, of a country torn between the righting of old wrongs and the almost cyclical production of new ones. At once an allegory for Zimbabwe's history and a deeply poignant reading of our own globally fractious moment, GLORY is an apt study in how leaders command and forfeit power, as well as the lives of ordinary people caught in the roiling waters of the political. Also, Danielle Lindemann, author of True Story: What Reality TV Says About Us, returns to recommend Lorrie Moore's short story 

In the latest in World Book Club's season celebrating The Exuberance of Youth, Harriett Gilbert talks to Zimbabwean writer NoViolet Bulawayo about her extraordinary novel, We Need New Names. A remarkable literary debut shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize We Need New Names is the unflinching, compelling story of a young girl's journey out of Zimbabwe and into America. A coming-of-age story, we follow a young girl named Darling, first as a 10-year-old in Zimbabwe with her friends, navigating a vibrant world of colour, political chaos and ultimately lethal danger. Later as a teenager emigrating to the Midwest United States, she hopes to find a better future living with her Aunt Fostalina in Michigan, only to discover that her options as a young immigrant are perilously few.

Horses rule the country, dogs are the military, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs are the everyday people.

Bulawayo told NPR's Scott Simon that "it is simply an issue of the leadership kind of forgetting [...] why the people they – that fought to serve – made the sacrifice that they did."

“And within that time, I realized that the story needed to be about regular citizens. But because so much had been written, I found myself needing a new way of telling the story, a story that was very public, that was on everybody's lips.” In 2017, Robert Mugabe was deposed in coup, an act that novelist NoViolet Bulawayo never thought she would see in her lifetime. She joins us on the show to talk about her fantastic new novel, Glory, the distance she needed to write a novel about the fall of a freedom fighter turned dictator and the chaos that followed, George Orwell's Animal Farm and other literary influences, the power of story and social media, her faith in a new generation and hope for the future, and more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer.   Featured Books: Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo Animal Farm by George Orwell   Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer, edited by David Eitel and mixed by Harry Liang.Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional bonus episodes on Saturdays).
