Someone once said that skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face. Today, we learn that skiing can do a lot worse things to your face than knocking down a tree.On this episode: On today's episode: we'll see how hot dogging at work can destroy your soul; you'd forever remember the list of countries that make up the Alps thanks to MILFGASS; and we'll see how the north American concept of giving out awards regardless of merit actually began with the military. This is I believe our third trip to Bella Italia, and I don't want to spoil the duplicitous little twist in this episode. There is a story arc of an attempted redemption from sin. Justice will be paper thin. There may be some awards handed out. It'll get weird, however many times it needs to. If you've never been in a gondola in a wind storm halfway up a mountain, this is as close as you're going to get. And by the time you're done, you'll wish you'd just spent an awful afternoon teetering over certain death. I you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes where we discussed:•  why I can't sell stupid moon rocks•  we meet the single least likely and least prepared athlete in the history of the winter Olympics•  we find out who the funniest people roasting in hell are•  and we reveal how Google is trying to convince us all to poison and kill ourselvesIf the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels:Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday

The Cable Car Chase followed by Three O' Clock.

A cable car company hoping to build an ariel route from Auckland Airport to Botany says its plan would be cheaper than a proposed busway. Doppelmayr NZ chief executive Garreth Hayman spoke to Corin Dann.

A transport group's pinpointed a route in Auckland where it would like to build a cable car system.  Doppelmayr New Zealand shortlisted 20 sites last year and has now chosen an eight-stop arterial route from Auckland Airport to Botany.   It would connect with Puhinui Station, and integrate with Airport transport infrastructure.   CEO Garreth Hayman told Mike Hosking that their analysis has shown that cable cars can produce all the benefits of a busway, and even beat it areas such as punctuality and frequency.  He said that they estimate the costs to be around $800 million, which is half of the cost of a busway.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Specially decorated cable cars climb the hills of San Francisco throughout the year in honor of different communities and cultures. It's one of the ways the SFMTA celebrates the diversity of its staff and of the city. In this episode of Taken with Transportation, host Melissa Culross rides the cars decorated in honor of Filipino American History Month and Native American Heritage Month and talks with Cable Car Division Manager Fred Butler, SFMTA Board of Directors member Lydia So and various agency staffers about the heritage cable car program.

Passenger trains now require video recording devices to increase safety, and happy 150th birthday to the cable car!

A special surprise birthday celebration was held at the Windham retirement home in Fresno for 103-year-old Eileen Jura. The owners of the Benham Ice Cream building (later the Dale Bros. warehouse) had announced intentions to remove their sign due to safety issues in a letter to the city last month. “But, that's not their decision,” says councilmember Miguel Arias, whose district holds more than a few of Fresno's historic assets. Seven people in San Francisco suffered minor injuries when a Cable Car made a sudden stop Monday afternoon on Washington and Taylor Streets on Nob Hill.  Tuesday - 10/10/2023 - Hour 4See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For today's 'On Location' episode, we're exploring San Francisco in the most iconic way possible. San Francisco's cable cars are not only the first in the world – invented here in 1873 – they are also the last. And though they travel at a mere 9.5mph, with the wind in your hair, the bells ringing and track rattling, it feels more like a roller coaster tour of the city than anything else on the road.  Join us for a whirlwind journey, recorded on location, celebrating 150 years and counting of San Francisco's cable cars. As we travel, we're going to stop off at the highlights along the line, revealing the story of the city from its Gold Rush roots to the creativity and diversity that defines it to this day. We'll meet Val Lupiz, a legendary ‘gripman', or cable car operator, for a lesson on what it takes to drive an actual 150-year-old antique. We'll find a hidden music studio above a gift shop in Chinatown, and listen to a performance of a GuZheng, a more than 2,000-year-old traditional Chinese instrument. We'll eat fresh seafood in one of the oldest restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf, drink Mai Tai's during an indoor monsoon at the Tonga Room, listen to an impromptu poetry recital about cable cars, on the cable car itself, and lots more. Recorded on-location, this audio adventure is designed to do more than just let you hear what it's like to be there; it's designed to let you feel what it's like for real.

BBC Urdu's Azizullah Khan was on the scene soon after last week's dramatic rescue in northwest Pakistan, when a broken cable car was left dangling hundreds of metres above the ground. He interviewed survivors and local people, and tells us about the harshness of their lives. The rescue put an international spotlight on these remote villages, but will that change anything? Andalusian Spanish BBC Mundo's Alicia Hernandez is from Andalusia in the south of Spain, and she published an online piece about the unique dialect of Spanish spoken there, which differs from the standard form. She explains why it's the basis of the Spanish spoken across Latin America. Chinese shoppers stockpiling salt Consumers in mainland China, Macau and Hong Kong have been panic-buying table salt after Japan began releasing treated radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima power plant. Martin Yip of BBC Chinese explains why. Lebanon's beauty treatment boom Despite the economic crisis in Lebanon, its cosmetic procedures industry is thriving. The pressure to look good has forced many women to continue costly beauty treatments, with diaspora remittances and visits home keeping the clinics busy. We hear more from BBC Arabic's Carine Torbey. Gold smuggling in Nepal The recent seizure of 60 kilograms of gold at Kathmandu airport has shone light on the scale of smuggling in Nepal's tightly controlled gold market. It's a story that hints at corruption and shady dealings in high places. BBC Nepali's Sanjaya Dhakal has been covering the story.

When you're traveling, the best moments are always the ones that take you by surprise. And while we were making the Exploring San Francisco by Cable Car episode one fell into our lap. We didn't have space in the episode to include the full scene, but if you love music it's something you're going to want to hear.    But let's set the scene first ... we're in Chinatown walking through those beautiful lantern strung streets, pagodas adorned in yellow and gold, temples, and tea shops everywhere, when we stumble upon Shangri-La Gifts.    One of the owners, a young woman named Fang-Yi, is a master player of the Guzheng, a more than 2,000-year-old traditional Chinese instrument. She takes us upstairs to a secret studio above her shop where she teaches Chinese American kids this ancient art form in order to help keep the tradition alive. She introduces us to two of her students and they start to play ...This is the performance we heard. It took us by surprise, it blew our mind and that's what San Francisco's all about.   For more information: sftravel.com   This episode was produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry. Field recording by Jason Paton.    

When we were recording the Exploring San Francisco by Cable Car episode we were looking for the perfect ending to the show. We thought it was going to be Fisherman's Wharf, looking out over the bay, Alcatraz in the distance, Pier 39 seals barking in the background ...   But then we heard about James Morehead. James is the Poet Laureate of Dublin (California, not Ireland), his muse is San Francisco and it turns out he's actually written a poem about the cable cars. So we phoned him up with a crazy idea - would he be up for reading us his poem, while riding on the actual cable cars themselves?   He said yes, we met him on the top of Nob Hill and took a ride down the California Line as he recited us this poem. Unfortunately we didn't have space for the whole piece in the episode but we loved it so much we thought we'd share the full version here instead.    This is James Morehead reciting '9.5mph' while riding the cable cars with us off into the San Francisco sunset. Endings don't get much sweeter than that ...   For more information about James' poetry go to ViewlessWings.com   James also has his own podcast - The Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast   For more information visit sftravel.com   This show was produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry. Field recording by Jason Paton.
