Where does localism end and insanity begin? Particularly in the Canary Islands, where a crazed, scooter-riding, rock-wielding man just went full Joe Namath on a visiting surfer. Buck and Mikey break this down along with an exclusive Kolohe Andino interview, Nate Florence's Austrian torture chamber, Mikey Feb's broken board theory, the world's best artificial wave and some exciting news from Hawaii.
Galway man Daragh MacLoughlin will be attempting to row across the Atlantic as part of the World's Toughest Row race. He'll be setting out on his 4,800 km journey on December 12th, but joins Seán from his starting point in the Canary Islands ahead of his epic voyage…
On today's fun-packed Mailbag show, David and Joe read messages about a film and television scenery painter, thanks from a retiring builder, a few more quips, observations on Joe visiting Princess Diana's memorial flowers, some Italian translations, Canary Islands life and having parents with the same name. Plus, an offer from Cameo (the personalised video service, not the 80's band) and David tries to get ChatGPT to write a funny story - spoiler alert, it doesn't do very well.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is moving on up! This week, co-hosts Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Marita Prodger (@maritaprodger) who you may recognize as one of the stars of Season 2 of Netflix's The Ultimatum: Queer Love. This episode is full of feels (three Pisces in one podcast makes for quite the fluid conversation), lesbian math, and musical manifestation. Quick disclaimer that we recorded this prior to the announcement that The Ultimatum: Queer Love has been cancelled, so please keep that in mind while listening. Marita began her Ultimatum journey when she was just 24 years old, and now at 27 she credits her experiences on the show with helping her to grow, create an incredible community, and rediscover her self-worth. Although she did not come away from the show with “her person”, she walked away with a renewed sense of self-love and the understanding that she didn't need to beg someone to love her. The right person would just do it naturally. Ending up with Britney as a trial marriage partner may not have been what either of them planned for, but it turned out to be the best thing for Marita to see her own energy reflected back like a mirror. It's easy to end up in a relationship that feels comfortable enough to stay, but still isn't quite right for you. We may see going on the Ultimatum as a really drastic measure for fixing a relationship, but sometimes it takes blowing everything up to see what remains. Seeing how simple it was for Britney to show up and consider her in the small day-to-day moments was a huge eye-opener and helped to break Marita out of a cycle that without the show, she may still have been trapped in today. You can find Marita on all the socials at @maritaprodger. Follow for information on how you can join her in the Canary Islands in January and for the chance to hear new music as she releases it.

Audiovisual ➡️ fanlink.tv/Y0UTUBE Tracklisting ➡️ https://bit.ly/tracklist_ronmiel Aitor Robles brings the warmth of the Canary Islands straight into this special episode with 'Ron Miel' — a mix named after Tenerife's beloved honey-rum. Smooth, sweet, and full of golden depth, Ron Miel captures the spirit of his homeland, and Aitor's set mirrors that essence beautifully: comforting yet powerful, rooted in tradition yet ready to ignite the senses. With more than 25 years behind the decks, Aitor is far more than a DJ — he's a true sonic storyteller. What began on Tenerife's volcanic shores has grown into a global journey through Ibiza, London, Mauritius, the Maldives, Oman, Switzerland and beyond. His sound blends melodic electronic flow with organic rhythms and subtle ethnic influences, creating immersive landscapes shaped by emotion rather than geography. His signature style has resonated worldwide, earning him over 2 million SoundCloud streams and collaborations with iconic brands like Café del Mar, Buddha Bar, and Virgin. Whether performing as a longtime resident at Le Club Playa Fañabé, energizing nights at Papagayo Club, or setting the tone at luxury resorts and beach clubs, Aitor's sets are experiences you feel. This mix is no exception: a rich, honeyed journey through melody, movement, and memory — as irresistible and soulful as a chilled glass of Ron Miel itself. Cheers!

fWotD Episode 3118: Alicella Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 17 November 2025, is Alicella.Alicella gigantea is a giant species of amphipod that lives in the deep sea. Sometimes referred to as the "supergiant amphipod", the largest of these crustaceans reach up to 34 cm (13 in) in length. It is the only species within the genus Alicella. This species lives only at 4,850–7,000 m (15,910–22,970 ft) in depth. The species is white in colour and is distinguished from other deep sea amphipods by minute anatomical differences, apart from size in the larger specimens. The large size of the species is often presented as an example of abyssal gigantism, though the specifics of this trait remain under investigation. Genetic studies into the species have found that it has an exceptionally large genome, which may be linked to its large body size.It was first collected and described in the 1890s from the Madeira Abyssal Plain off the Canary Islands. Although it is rarely detected, A. gigantea is a cosmopolitan species and can potentially occur in 59% of the world's oceans. Their diet varies with age, but they are primarily scavengers of carrion. Like other amphipods, female A. gigantea brood their eggs in pouches. Individuals of the species are inferred to have an unusually long life span and can reach over 10 years in age. Despite their relative isolation from the surface, human pollutants such as DDT and chlordane have been detected in specimens.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 17 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Alicella on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

Episode Summary In our newest episode, Bioluminescent Symbiosis, we speak with Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist about her work with the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. McFall-Ngai provides a great synopsis of how this stable beneficial relationship not only creates light, and supports the bobtail maturation, but can also help us understand what could be going on in the light organs of deep-sea animals. Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading. In this episode… Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea! The Professor is jetsetting as always, back in Edinburgh after a stint getting all the equipment ready in the Canary Island and is now happily being confused with professional racecar drivers. He will be back in Perth shortly to celebrate the Deep-Sea center paper publishing streak and reconnect with his Capybara spirit animal. Thom is being called out in New Zealand Parliament, for all the right reasons, and he spent some Deep-Sea conference time in China, avoiding typhoons and pondering science ideas. We are also celebrating 300,000 podcast downloads of the podcast, and appreciate our fans immensely! Our guest this month is Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist who is a staff researcher at Carnegie Institution for Science's Division of Biosphere Sciences and Engineering, with her lab stationed at the California Institute of Technology in Biology and Biological Engineering. Dr. McFal-Ngai talks us through her work on the stable beneficial relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Although technically not a deep-sea species, this relationship and its details might help us understand how deep-sea life creates bioluminescence and the possible life cycle impacts for the creatures involved.

Uncovering the deep connection between Buddhism and Martial Arts, Damiano Seiryū Finizio joins Vincent Moore to explore what it truly means to face our most powerful opponent: the mind.This conversation was originally recorded on Paths of Practice Podcast. Listen to more episodes HERE.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Damiano and Vincent discuss:What initially brought Damiano to Buddhism after growing up in Italy, a predominantly Catholic countryHow Buddhism can be harmonious with martial arts Working on self-development and mutual growth rather than sparring Maintaining perfect mental presence during times of physical discomfort Following the Buddhist precepts and adopting a vegan diet for the principal of no-harmMountains as natural energy centersDamiano's global work and exposure to unique cultures in Vietnam, Cambodia, The Canary Islands, and moreBringing the message of peace, awareness, and compassion into the westDamiano's advice for beginners walking the Buddhist pathAbout Damiano Seiryū Finizio:Damiano Finizio was born in Italy in 1992. He began practicing traditional Japanese martial arts in 2012, where he met the Buddhist monk Seiun, who transformed his curiosity for Eastern disciplines and philosophies into dedicated practice. In 2014, he officially took refuge in the Dharma at Tenryuzanji Temple, receiving the name Seiryu, symbolizing his deep bond with his teacher and the temple. Since 2020, he has been living and working in Spain as a hostel owner, while also working seasonally in Italy and Croatia as a trip leader during the warmer months. Despite his commitments, he remains an active member of the Tenryuzanji community and continues to participate in its activities whenever possible.For more information about Tenryuzanji Temple, please click HERE. To keep up with Damiano, visit his Instagram.“The advice is don't do it yourself. It's very likely to happen that you're trying to tame your mind, but if you don't know how to do it, most likely your mind will tame you and make you feel like you're moving forward, but you're just looking for comfort. This is why a teacher is important.“ –Damiano Seiryū FinizioAbout Vincent Moore:Vincent Moore is a creative and creative consultant living in San Francisco, California, with over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry and holds a graduate degree in Buddhist Studies.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez, founder of MacroCarbon and professor at the University of Bremen, about her journey from Arctic ice researcher to seaweed entrepreneur. Dr. Fernández shares how she's turning pelagic sargassum into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while creating a carbon-negative process that enhances marine biodiversity.Dr. Fernández discusses:How Sargassum differs from other algae approaches, avoiding the pitfalls that have plagued microalgae biofuel attempts for decades.MacroCarbon's integrated biorefinery that produces multiple revenue streams: bio-stimulants for agriculture, biochar for permanent carbon sequestration, carbon black for tyres and batteries, and ultimately SAF through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.The company's unique approach to hydrogen production, generating its own hydrogen internally rather than requiring external green hydrogen inputs.Competitive economics at scale: producing SAF for lower than current market biofuel prices, while being species-agnostic and able to use any brown or green seaweed.Securing partnerships with Iberia, Airbus, and Repsol through Spain's All 4 Zero Challenge, with plans to produce test samples for certification and eventual off-take agreements.The roadmap from pilot to first-of-a-kind commercial facility in the Canary Islands, then expansion to Morocco, Azores, Cape Verde, and the Caribbean.Balancing academia and entrepreneurship: maintaining her professorship while commercialising proven technology, and the parallels between academic grant-writing and startup fundraising.The importance of storytelling in deep tech, moving beyond just having good data to communicating vision effectively for investors.The "BlueSaf Plus" vision for 2035: carbon-negative biofuels that enhance marine biodiversity by maintaining floating ecosystems, proving we can have both healthy oceans and sustainable aviation.Learn more about the innovators who are navigating the industry's challenges to make sustainable aviation a reality, in our new book 'Sustainability in the Air: Volume 2'.

How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sarah Jane Evans, author of the terrific new book The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks. Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Sarah Jane Evans' wonderful new book, The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights What do you need to know about Xarel·lo and Spanish sparkling wine? How does Cava compare to Prosecco? What effect does the aging process used for premium Cavas have on their taste profile, and how does it compare to Champagne? What is the historical significance of the Terra Alta region? Which historical artifacts has Sarah Jane encountered while visiting Spanish vineyards? How does Richard Ford's 1840s observation about Valencia still define Spanish wine culture in the Valencia region? What might surprise you about the ancient amphorae in Valencia and how they're used in modern winemaking? How do the three main styles of Sherry differ? Which types of glassware and food pair best with Sherry? What are copitas, and how do they differ from other glasses used for Sherry? How does serving temperature affect our enjoyment of Sherry? What do you need to know about wine and the Canary Islands? What challenges and opportunities does Sarah Jane see for the future of the Spanish wine industry? Key Takeaways How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? Prosecco bubbles are created and captured in the tank to make it a pleasantly fizzy drink. Whereas Cava is made exactly like Champagne. It's aged in the bottle with its yeast. It begins to develop other aromas which are nothing to do with flowers or fruits. The youngest Cava, can be released at nine months, younger than the youngest Champagne. If you're going to have a very young fizzy wine, then Prosecco is very appealing. What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? People have started to recognise that this white grape variety, once just a component in blending, can be grown on its own and produces lovely, fresh, excitingly lively wines that are not very high in alcohol. If you're making Cava, it's the one that will last. It has a capacity to age, which is better than the other two. How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? Alicante is one of the places for Monastrell. Historically, they used to make a wine out of this red grape that got so ripe they didn't need to fortify it because the grape on the vine got so sweet that it turned itself into alcohol. Then it was a wine that was stable enough you could have it in a barrel. Then you could send it to India or to Africa, all around the world.

I came into this conversation thinking that I'd be chatting about the trivialities of an expedition through South America and I left in a state of absolute disbelief and awe. Oliver Treviso is a fascinating and incredible individual who has become the first person ever to hike the length of the Andes through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. In this first episode, we discuss how this adventure came to be...his experience sailing in a catamaran across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Brazil, and by all accounts the boat was hardly seaworthy. Then, a love for South America was kindled and before long, he was back on the continent and hiked for 21 months, for 8000 miles and wearing out nine pairs of shoes. The journey was not without its hazards and dangers, but he made it. We'll record a second episode with Oliver to hear more about his time in Colombia and Venezuela, but for the time being, tune in to an amazing story of human kindness and spirit. Oliver is raising money for, Mind Ystradgynlais, a mental health charity and you can donate here: https://minditv.org.uk/walking-the-andes/ The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart: https://harte.substack.com Support us: https://patreon.com/colombiacalling

I first spoke with Michelle Lee back in July, 2017 when she shared her goal to complete the world's toughest nautical challenge; the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.A 5,300km / 2900 nautical mile solo, unassisted and self-supported ocean rowing event across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain all the way to Antigua in the Caribbean.In February 2019, Michelle achieved her goal and, in the process, became the first Australian woman to row across an ocean.Now there's one key piece of information you need to know; Michelle did not come from a rowing background.At the time she set the goal, she had never pulled an oar through the water.In fact, when Michelle pulled out of the dock at the start of the race, she had never rowed in the open ocean (all her training had been confined to inside Sydney Heads). Wow!So in this week's episode of Sparta Chicks Radio, Michelle rejoins me to share what's happened in the last 18 months since we first spoke, as well as how this incredible race unfolded for her.

Over the years, Maxwell expanded his business interests into newspapers, including the acquisition of the Daily Mirror Group in 1984, making him one of Britain's most prominent media moguls.Maxwell was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charismatic personality, often attracting both admiration and criticism. He was a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970, representing Buckingham.However, Maxwell's business practices came under scrutiny, particularly concerning his use of employee pension funds to finance his various ventures. His companies' financial dealings were often opaque, and there were allegations of fraud and embezzlement.In 1991, Maxwell's empire came crashing down when he mysteriously disappeared while sailing on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, near the Canary Islands. His body was later found in the Atlantic Ocean, and the circumstances of his death remain controversial.

Hola! It's Jorge and Fran from Spanish Loops, sneaking again into your earbuds like a surprise tapas plate at midnight: witty, chilled, and absolutely unmissable. We've got a killer episode lined up. This global anti tourism wave that is crossing Europe.And about Spain, especially in the sunny but mad Catalonia and the Canary Islands. Think less of a vacay checklist and more locals saying, “Wow, who invited all these selfies?”Picture this: water pistol armed residents chasing off tourist hordes like it's some kind of benign, spray and dash flash mob…, pure surreal vibes. It's less “here's your sangria” and more here's a sticker that reads “Mass tourism kills the city.” You've got Catalans and Canarians basically sending a warm but firm “not now, thanks” to cruise ship style visitor overload.And get this, locals are trending “touristification sucks” in real life. They're saying: “Don't hate the traveler, hate the structure that's turned our streets into themed park backdrops.”Its activism turned into playful theatre, with flares, banners, and cardboard cruise ships parading down Venetian alleys like some post-tourism performance art.So, if your next scroll is on Instagram or YouTube, stick with us. This episode is equal parts cheeky roast and heartfelt plea for sustainable, cultural and respecting travel. Hit that follow tab for more jokes, espresso shots, and maybe a water pistol sighting or two.“¡Vámonos!”

In this episode, we talk with French field recordist and artist Mélia Roger about her film Dear Phonocene, currently featured in the Projected Ecologies program within the exhibition Pulsar at MUCA in Mexico City. Mélia shares how the work emerged from over a decade of listening to the monoculture Douglas fir plantations near her parents' home, spaces she describes as “post-natural” and marked by biodiversity loss. Blending fiction, performance, and documentary, the project imagines “acoustic enrichment” as a form of care—playing back past soundscapes to acknowledge what has been lost. We discuss her collaboration with other women recordists, the role of human presence and “noisy non-self” in the film's soundscape, and the interplay between slow listening and the fast pace of image-making. Mélia reflects on grief, hope, and tenderness in altered landscapes, the technical and ethical dimensions of playback, and her evolving research on post-natural listening within her PhD work. Plus, we hear about her upcoming explorations of cetacean sound in the Canary Islands.Mélia Roger (*1996, she/her) is a field recordist and artist engaged to inspire ecological change with environmental and empathic listening. Her work explores the sonic poetics of the landscape, searching for the invisible layers between human and non-humans. Coming from a sound engineering background (ENS Louis-Lumière in Paris, ZHdK in Zurich), Mélia is developing a twofold activity between immersive 7.0.2 sound recordings within HAL, as well as a more experimental and naturalistic approach to listening. Now at Le Fresnoy, she is a practice-based PhD candidate at the University of Lille, focusing on the relations between sound arts and acoustic ecology.https://www.meliaroger.com/portfolio/project-two-llrgk-blz6chttps://www.instagram.com/meliarog/https://muca.unam.mx/pulsar.htmlhttps://www.lydianstater.co/projected-ecologies
Michelle Lee is a quintessential ordinary Australian woman who has set out to do something extraordinary. In December 2017, she'll attempt the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, a 5,000km unassisted and self-supported ocean rowing event across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain to Antigua in the Caribbean. If she completes it, she'll become the first Australian woman to row across an ocean.But Michelle isn't a rower and doesn't come from a rowing background. So how does an ordinary everyday woman find the courage and bravery to attempt one of the world's toughest nautical challenges as an absolute newbie in the sport? And what does it take to complete this event? I ask her in this episode.

Not many people can say that they have ever rowed an ocean; in fact, more people (until very recently) can say that they have been to space than have rowed an ocean. For Team Seneca Navy, this task, known as the "World's Toughest Row," is the only obvious choice for the next step in their lives. This crew of four partially-crazy, fully-adventurous rowers will take off from the shores of the Canary Islands and row across the Atlantic Ocean, before landing in Antigua. By name, these rowers are David Ranney (Cleveland, OH, USA), Moritz Marchart (Stuttgart, Germany), Anthony Carella (Vaughan, ON, Canada), and Ryan Mulflur (Hingham, MA, USA). In episode 55 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast, Team Seneca Navy joins the show just a few months before they take off to share what they anticipate, mourn over what they have yet to anticipate, and inspire all of us to pursue better versions of ourselves. In fact, that is the very mission of the nonprofit that the crew started to support their efforts. All of the funds raised throughout the process of the race will go to charities that share this profound mission. Tune in to hear the epitome of the phrase "trusting the process" and the ambition of four gentlemen who not only want to compete in the world's toughest race, but win it! Forever will the members of Team Seneca Navy be known for their courageous efforts in a highly unique endeavor that benefitted so many others and also infinitely will change their lives.

Can you detect Alzheimer's with a spit sample? That's the question driving Arianna Arbona's exciting research at Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Sevilla, Spain. In this episode of Absolute Gene-ius, she shares how she's isolating microvesicles from saliva and blood to identify early biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's—an effort that could one day lead to minimally invasive diagnostic tools.Arianna describes the scientific and technical hurdles she's overcoming, from low vesicle concentrations to validating the brain-specific origin of those vesicles. She also reflects on her previous lupus research, where digital PCR enabled detection of faint mRNA signatures that qPCR missed—making it an essential tool for rare target quantification. Her future plans include integrating immuno-PCR and multiplex assays for more sensitive and multi-marker detection in Alzheimer's and beyond.In the career corner, Arianna recounts her journey from the Canary Islands to Helsinki to Sevilla, balancing passion, mentorship, and a healthy sense of humor. She talks about working through uncertainty after her master's degree, the mentors who kept her smiling, and how an early accidents taught her resilience. Her message to aspiring scientists: follow your curiosity and don't be afraid to change direction.Visit the Absolute Gene-ius pageto learn more about the guests, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.
Eric Parrow is a real estate investor and entrepreneur. As the son of a missionary, he spent a decade of his childhood on the Spanish island of Tenerife, the largest of the seven Canary Islands, located off the coast of Morocco. When he was 14, they settled in Oklahoma, where he has lived ever since. Between the ages of 14 and 17, he assisted his parents in building their own home from a set of blueprints and a truckload of steel studs, purlins, c-channel, and other metal parts. He spent countless hours in the heat assembling the pieces with a screw gun, honing his skills in construction and rehab projects.A few years later, he bought his own home and began his journey as a self-employed real estate investor.After working for a decade in IT as a Network Admin, and Web and Graphics designer, he became a landlord at the end of 2008, just as the market was crashing, by converting his first home into a rental property. This allowed him to avoid losing equity and gain experience as a landlord. After nearly a decade of acquiring only one or two properties at a time “on the side”, he made a concerted effort to expand his business in 2015. However, he found a lack of strong cashflow producing deals in the Oklahoma City market, so he turned his attention to the Pensacola, Florida market.In 2019, he refocused on the Oklahoma City Metro market and used a modified version of the BRRRR strategy to retire from his day job as an IT Network Administrator at a Toyota owned subsidiary in November of that year. He continued to push his goals, made it through 2020 and 2021 without a single eviction,more than doubled his holdings in 2021 and grew by 60% in 2022. In this episode, we discussed his journey through life, real estate, investing, and building his freedom!Hope you all enjoy this episode… KEEPGOING!Follow Eric:FB- https://www.facebook.com/share/1BAkZhJZcK/?mibextid=wwXIfrIG- https://www.instagram.com/ericsadventure?igsh=MXZyYng4MmV4YTlvcA==Follow me:IG- https://www.instagram.com/zdsellsokc/FB- https://www.facebook.com/ZDsellsOKC/
