Podcasts about Catastrophe

Fintan Drury trained as a journalist before becoming a hugely significant figure in Irish corporate life, something he has talked about previously with honesty and some regret.He returned to his journalistic roots and the tragedy in Gaza compelled him to speak out. His new book Catastrophe is the story of Nakba II. On Free State today, he explains why he had to go to the West Bank to find out the truth and why Netanyahu is running rings around the US when it comes to war with Iran. He explains why the establishment desperately wants to take his side. He talks too about why Joe Biden, not just Netanyahu, should be facing charges at the International Criminal Court. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The next meeting of The Catastrophe Hour Book Club is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, at 3:00 p.m. ET. We will discuss the second essay of the collection, Same Life, Higher Rent.  The book club meets for 14 consecutive Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m. ET, beginning June 11. The book club is for yearly paid subscribers only, so if you want to join, please upgrade your subscription. To learn more about the book club and join, visit https://www.theunspeakablepodcast.com/p/the-catastrophe-hour-book-club Same Life, Higher Rent was written in 2017, shortly after I returned to New York after nearly two decades away. At the time, I was 47 and, strangely, my life was a lot like it had been at 27, though of course I was older and the rent was higher. The essay also explores, among other things, the concept of the “situational setpoint,” which is the state of life I seem to find myself in no matter how long I spend trying to live a different kind of life.   About The Catastrophe Hour "One of our most important essayists . . .

It's never a good look for a law firm to lose partners in bunches, and that's what's been happening at Paul Weiss in the past few weeks. Some of the firm's high-profile litigators have announced their departures, following the deal it struck with the Trump administration to avoid a punitive executive order. Ironically, the firm negotiated the White House agreement—which includes a pledge to provide $40 million in free legal services on shared priority causes—in part to avoid a run on partners. On today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law reporters Roy Strom and Justin Henry explain why this is a setback for Paul Weiss, but not a catastrophic one. They note that, thus far, only trial lawyers have departed the firm, leaving intact its ability to operate in the lucrative deals space. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits? Give us a call and leave a voicemail at 703-341-3690.

When tracing the origins of today's war and devastation in Gaza, it may be easy to overlook economic inequality in favor of political or ideological explanations. In this episode, political analyst and public opinion expert Dahlia Scheindlin says a chief cause of the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the severe poverty of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, where unemployment was sky high even before the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7, 2023. There was a time when Israelis believed peace was necessary for Israel's economy to thrive, and that Palestinian growth could substitute for a Palestinian state. A generation later, Gaza is rubble. Further reading: The Economic Foundation for Peace in Israel and Palestine by Dahlia Scheindlin for The Century Foundation. Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin is a political analyst and a public opinion researcher who has advised on nine electoral campaigns in Israel and worked in 15 other countries over 25 years. She is a Haaretz (English) columnist and a Century International policy fellow. She is the author of The Crooked Timber of Democracy in Israel: Promise Unfulfilled, listed on Foreign Affairs' Best Books of 2024.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia explore alternative investments with a focus on natural resources, commodities, and catastrophe bonds. They break down the strategies and risks behind these asset classes and examine how they can fit into a diversified retirement portfolio. The conversation offers insights into the potential advantages and challenges of these investments for retirement planning.   Takeaways Natural resources include timberland, farmland, and water rights. Commodities can serve as an inflation hedge but are volatile. Catastrophe bonds transfer natural disaster risk to investors. Investing in companies that use commodities may be more beneficial. The correlation of commodities to equities is generally low. Catastrophe bonds can provide uncorrelated returns to the market. Investors should consider the expected return for each asset class. Due diligence is essential when exploring alternative investments. Infrastructure investments can offer stable returns through usage fees. The role of portfolio managers is to expose investors to asset classes with favorable risk-return profiles.

Hi everyone! Today we are discussing one of the heated moments of 2025... Though I suppose it seems we've had a lot of those this year. Covid, 9/11, the beginning of escalation between Israel and Palestine - Mars and Ketu were conjunct in every incident. Mars and Ketu are notorious for stirring controversy and bringing about dangerous accidents or attacks. From mountaineering accidents to sting ray tragedies - we see this combination again and again act as a catalyst. How can WE best move through this time with grace?In addition to Mars/Ketu, we will see Saturn and Neptune conjunct in the same degree. We have already seen a terrible oil spill off the coast of Kerala, let's hope that there is nothing else like this! We further discuss transits and what to anticipate.

Hurricane Beryl and the May 2024 derecho showed the powerful and long lasting effects that a wide range of weather events can have. The federal government assessed $229 million in unmet need for home repair and personal property loss. Yet the City of Houston released its Action Plan in May, and there are $0 allocated to housing of any kind. On this episode of A Little Louder, we're joined by Maddie Sloan, Director of the Disaster Recovery and Fair Housing Project at Texas Appleseed. We discuss what is missing from this plan, and we hear directly from tenants who gave their feedback on the plan and what they want to see.If you'd like to particpate or offer comments, the City of Houston will have two virtual meetings on June 10th and June 12th. Written comments can be submitted to the city until Sunday, June 22nd. And all of this information can be found on the City of Houston's Housing Department website houstontx.gov/housing

Hey friend, welcome back to Design for the Creative Mind! I'm so glad you're here. If you're new around here, this season is all about Rookie Mistakes & Real Talk—a behind-the-scenes look at the most common missteps interior designers make in business (and how to bounce back when you make one). In today's episode, I'm sharing a hard lesson I learned the painful way—what happens when you don't have a strong contract… or worse, when you do and you don't enforce it. If you've ever had a client overstep, ask for something totally out of scope, or shop your selections online… this one's for you. I've been there (like, deeply), and I want to help you avoid the stress, the loss, and the awkward convos I had to navigate back when I didn't know better. What I cover in this episode: The (cringey but honest) story of how I lost thousands early in my career Why a one-page contract does not make you client-friendly—it makes you vulnerable Common red flags to watch for, like the “just one more thing” request or the feedback that takes forever Exact phrases you can use to set boundaries with clients who are overstepping What to do when your contract doesn't cover something How I present contracts now to prevent miscommunication and build trust The recent updates I made to my own contract after a few client hiccups I know contracts aren't the sexiest part of our business—but they are absolutely essential. They're not just paperwork—they're your business armor. And when you know how to use them confidently, you lead your business instead of reacting to chaos. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let's talk about the contract catastrophe that changed everything for me—and how you can avoid it.

We spend a good amount of time talking about the Babcock Theater: what happened, what we've been working on since discovering the mess, and what our plans are (as of now) moving forward.  Thank you to all those who have been so supportive and generous these past few days! We also spend some time hearing some thoughts on the new Karate Kid film!

As Artemis.bm continues to track catastrophe bond market activity through this very busy year of 2025, total settled issuance analysed by Artemis has already surpassed $15 billion, while the outstanding cat bond market has grown by 15.5% since the end of 2024. Catastrophe bond issuance is breaking all records so far in 2025, with now $15.025 billion of offerings settled across Rule 144A cat bonds and the few privately placed deals Artemis has tracked. Impressively, the level of issuance now settled in 2025 has already broken the record for first-eleven month issuance. Meaning, in every previous year the catastrophe bond market has existed, Artemis hadn't ever seen that volume of deals settle between January and the end of November. Given we are still at the end of May, with a whole month to run until the middle of 2025, it's clear the first-half cat bond issuance record is being broken by a particularly significant margin. The previous record for first-half cat bond issuance came in 2024, when just over $12.6 billion of deals were tracked by Artemis. Remember you can use all the interactive charts and visualisations over at www.artemis.bm to analyse catastrophe bond issuance, the outstanding market and view leaderboards of the top cat bond sponsors and service providers. Cat bond issuance settled in the month of May has reached a significant record high of almost $5.9 billion in 2025. Which beats the previous record for the month by approaching $2 billion. It also makes May 2025 the biggest single month of catastrophe bond issuance in the market's history, another very notable record that has been soundly broken this year. The rapid rate of catastrophe bond market activity seen in 2025 has also helped to propel the size of the market considerably higher already. Recall that 2025 has seen the highest level of cat bond maturities ever for the first-half, but the market has outpaced that with new issuance, to grow by around 15.5% since the end of 2024. Artemis' measure for the outstanding cat bond market, which does include some private deals and also may not factor in all principal reductions, or extensions of maturity, as we don't always receive that data, has now reached just over $57.12 billion. Which, as Artemis said, represents 15.5% growth in the outstanding catastrophe bond market since December 31st 2024, when the total stood at just under $49.48 billion. Artemis has seen more first-time cat bond sponsors come to market in H1 2025 than any other half-year so far, which has helped to propel this market expansion and growth. Alongside that, repeat sponsors have been issuing larger deals and growing cat bond's share of their reinsurance towers, in some cases, while other sponsors have seen an increased need for reinsurance and grown their cat bond coverage proportionally with that. The catastrophe bond market is well on-course to break the annual issuance record in 2025, as a reminder that stood at almost $17.7 billion by Artemis' numbers for 2024. Whether it is broken will depend on loss activity through the wind season, any other particularly impactful catastrophe losses, or if some kind of disruption to capital markets occurs. However, with only just under $1.6 billion of additional issuance needed to come to market, beyond what we have seen already and what is scheduled in the pipeline for June, it is now hard to think the annual record won't be broken in 2025. Stay tuned to Artemis for critical catastrophe bond market insights as the rest of 2025 progresses!

This week, I share an essay from The Catastrophe Hour. There's no audiobook available (yet), so I offer this reading of the final essay in the collection, The End Of The Personal. It's a meditation on first-person writing in a world that seems to have overdosed on oversharing. The era of the personal is over. The writer sees this now. One day, she just gets it. Everything is personal so nothing is personal. The erosion has been a long time coming. First, the personal became political. Then it became porn. Now it has become dust. The Catastrophe Hour book club begins on June 11 and runs every Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET for 14 consecutive weeks. We will read one essay each week, starting from the beginning of the book. Audio excerpts of each essay will be released every week as special podcast episodes. (They'll be excerpts, so you'll still want to get the book.) To join the book club, become a paying subscriber to the Substack at the annual level. More info here. HOUSEKEEPING

Send us a textWhat happens when everything you've built crumbles overnight? For Leo Popik, founder and CEO of Leading Peers, this wasn't a hypothetical question but a devastating reality that forced him to completely reinvent his life and career.Leo's story begins with an already challenging situation—moving his family from Brazil to the US in 2017 and battling through a grueling immigration process that cost $70,000 in legal fees while putting immense strain on his successful international events company. Just when things seemed to stabilize with his green card approval on December 31, 2019, the pandemic hit, instantly decimating his eight-figure business that operated across ten countries. The emotional toll was crushing. Sleepless nights, vendors demanding payment, employees across the globe depending on him, and a once-thriving business worth millions suddenly worthless. "I realized that a lot of my identity had been tied to the busyness of business," Leo reflects, capturing the existential crisis many entrepreneurs face when their companies falter. Through deep soul-searching conversations with his wife (a leadership coach), Leo identified four core passions that would guide his reinvention: entrepreneurship, leadership, personal development, and community building.This clarity became the blueprint for Leading Peers, an innovative CEO peer advisory organization designed to make high-quality peer groups accessible at $340/month (versus competitors' $10,000+ price tags). Leo built a model where CEOs with at least $250,000 in revenue join boards of 8 peers with expert facilitator-advisors, creating intimate communities focused on mutual growth through monthly meetings, workshops, networking events, and specialized interest groups.Five years later, Leading Peers continues to thrive with its distinctive approach summed up in its mission: "to help CEOs grow so their people and businesses prosper." Leo's journey teaches us that resilience isn't just enduring hardship—it's finding purpose within it and creating something meaningful from the ashes of what once was.Ready to connect with other growth-minded CEOs?

I grew out of my speech impediment, and I have very little recollection of my stammering phase but I was reminded of it when I was on the phone to a friend in Ard Oifig in Dublin last week.The Floodgates of HorrorUachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D Higgins does not mince his words when it comes to Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people. Last weekend he addressed the annual commemoration of Ireland's An Gorta Mór – The Great Hunger - of the 1840s. The commemoration is a reminder of our colonial experience and of a potato plight which became a genocide because of the policies of the British government. Over a million died and millions more fled. The Catastrophe – NakbaLast week Palestinians across the world commemorated the Nakba – The Catastrophe. In 1948 almost a million Palestinians fled as refugees from their homes as the Israeli state was forcibly carved out of Palestine.

Scientists think they might have found a planet that is "brimming with life," and we're pretty sure whoever lives there is way smarter than earthlings. We learn about a climber who had to be rescued twice in one week because he forgot his phone on the mountain. And we discuss a vintage story about a hiker who was lost and couldn't be rescued because when first responders called him he didn't pick up because he didn't recognize the number. We debate whether it was appropriate for a tennis player to tell her opponent to put on deodorant. We discuss the Oklahoma City bombing documentary, and how hearing the stories of the survivors helped portray the scope of loss. Susie is worried about a kind of hornet that is making its home in her town, and Sarah thinks they might be government drones or psyops. A town in Finland calls itself the home of Santa, but residents are fed up with all the tourists. We consider the backlash about tourism around the world and what's really driving it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyVisit https://shopbeam.com/braincandy and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Bafflingly, the Coast Guard's biggest rescue boat on the Columbia River Bar was one that hadn't been designed to survive a rollover. So, in early 1961, it didn't — and neither did five members of its six-man crew. (Columbia River Bar, Clatsop County; 1960s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1201d-triumph-coast-guard-disaster-2.html)

Send us a textHollywood's perfect storm has arrived in the form of Disney's live-action Snow White remake, a film that may go down in history as one of the studio's most spectacular failures. With a staggering production and marketing budgets,  this reimagining of the 1937 classic is projected to loose eye watering amounts of money.At the heart of this catastrophe lies a fundamental disconnect between filmmakers and audience expectations. The original Snow White wasn't just any film – it was Walt Disney's revolutionary gamble that changed animation forever. Disney mortgaged his family home to complete what industry insiders mockingly called "Disney's Folly," only to see it earn $8 million during the Great Depression and establish his studio as an entertainment powerhouse.What went wrong with the remake? The trouble began well before release when lead actress Rachel Zegler made comments dismissing the original as "weird" and criticizing its love story, calling the prince "a guy who literally stalks her." This set the tone for a production that seemed determined to distance itself from rather than honor its source material. The film underwent multiple delays and changes, particularly around the portrayal of the Seven Dwarves, suggesting a production lacking clear creative vision.The audience response has been historically brutal, with the film currently holding a 1.6/10 rating on IMDB from over 350,000 reviewers – one of the lowest scores for any major studio release. Reviews consistently mention "lifeless" scripts, "artificial" dialogue, "uninspired" performances, and visual effects that fail to create the magic expected from Disney.This cautionary tale offers a powerful lesson for studios: when reimagining beloved classics that have maintained cultural relevance for generations, respect for the source material isn't optional – it's essential. As we've seen with successful adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog, listening to audience feedback and honoring what made the original special creates a path to both artistic and commercial success.Enjoy - DMRSupport the show
