Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet Nick, a New York police officer who desperately wants to be a detective but keeps failing the test. He's married to Audrey, a hairdresser who dreams of visiting Europe—a promise Nick made at their wedding but has yet to fulfill. After their 15th wedding anniversary dinner, Audrey calls him out on it, only for Nick to surprise her with the news that he's actually booked the trip. (He totally hasn't—but sometimes you gotta spend thousands of dollars to keep up a lie.) On the flight, Audrey meets billionaire Charles Cavendish, who invites her to a gathering aboard his family's yacht. When Nick hears about this, he's like, “No way. I have a whole thing planned.” But when that plan turns out to involve a packed tour bus, he gives in. Aboard the yacht, Nick and Audrey meet quite the cast of characters: Malcolm Quince (Cavendish's billionaire uncle), Suzi (Cavendish's ex-fiancée and now Quince's wife), Quince's son Tobey, actress Grace Ballard, a colonel and his bodyguard, a rapper, and a race car driver. Later that evening, Quince arrives and announces that Suzi—his new wife—will now be his sole heir, cutting everyone else out of the will. Naturally, this does not go over well. Just before the new will can be signed, the lights go out—and when they come back on, Quince is found stabbed through the heart. Nick jumps into detective mode and tells everyone to stay on the yacht. That night, Tobey is found dead in what looks like a suicide. When they arrive in Monte Carlo, a local investigator boards the yacht to question everyone. The other guests point fingers at the “random Americans.” The investigator tells Nick and Audrey he knows they're guilty and promises to prove it. At the Monaco Grand Prix, Nick and Audrey begin their own investigation to clear their names, interrogating the other guests. That night, the colonel's bodyguard lures them to his room and drops a bombshell: Quince once married the colonel's fiancée while the colonel was in a coma. She later died in childbirth. Just as things get juicy, someone knocks. Nick and Audrey hide, and when they come out, the bodyguard has been shot—he dies before naming the killer. Audrey is shaken when a news broadcast reveals that Nick isn't really a detective. She storms off and is picked up by Cavendish, who urges her to leave Monte Carlo immediately. Eventually, everyone winds up at a lake. Nick and Audrey reconcile and start to suspect that Cavendish and Suzi are romantically involved and conspiring to split Quince's fortune. While fleeing a masked attacker with a blow dart, they run into Carlos, the race car driver. Suzi is killed with a dart, and Nick and Carlos chase the killer but lose them. Nick and Audrey head to Quince's mansion to confront Cavendish—only to find him poisoned. They call the investigator and gather the remaining guests, but everyone seems to have an alibi. Nick and Audrey then reveal that Grace, the actress, is the mastermind. She's actually the daughter who was believed to have died in childbirth. She convinced Tobey to kill their father and then killed him herself. When she tries to escape, Nick shoots her in the arm. But the mystery isn't over—Carlos is revealed to be the second killer, seeking revenge on Quince for the injuries that left his father disabled. Carlos takes the investigator hostage and tries to escape in a car, but Nick and Audrey stop him—with help from that overcrowded tour bus they skipped earlier. In the aftermath, the investigator thanks them and offers to help Nick finally earn his promotion. The couple continues their European adventure.

North Sea oil and gas and impact of the Energy Profits Levy: Cavendish insights

Cavendish research director James McCormack talked with Proactive about the UK North Sea oil and gas sector and the far-reaching consequences of the Energy Profits Levy (EPL). McCormack detailed how the EPL, originally introduced in 2022 as a temporary 25% measure, has since evolved into a 38% tax lasting through 2030, creating significant investment uncertainty. He explained, “The tax rate in the UK has gone from 40% in 2021 to 78% in its current state,” highlighting the shift as a major deterrent for continued exploration and production. The interview covers how this fiscal environment has accelerated production decline and increased the UK's reliance on imports, leaving households and businesses exposed to international energy price volatility. Cavendish attributes declining output to reduced capital expenditure, citing record-low exploration in 2024 with just four wells drilled. McCormack also discussed ongoing government consultations, including those on Scope 3 emissions, fiscal regimes, and licensing policies. He noted the environmental trade-offs of increased imports, which can be up to four times more emissions-intensive than domestic production. He warned that further inaction or policy instability could see the North Sea become a "stranded opportunity," with early field closures, rising decommissioning liabilities, and a significant risk of skilled workforce loss.

Spring is in the air—even for Alison in France! Hard to believe it's been over a year since the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary event. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago… and we're still recovering. HA! Today, we're diving into our first Season 7 episode recap: The In-Laws—a whirlwind of absurd hilarity starring our favorite duo, Dean Butler and Michael Landon. This episode serves up Pa/Almanzo tension in the silliest way possible, blending slapstick humor with some questionable frontier authenticity (mountains on the prairie, anyone?). Michael Landon's comedic brilliance shines, but let's be real—this episode asks us to completely suspend our belief in historical accuracy. And these days? That kind of creative license wouldn't fly in TV production, which makes us even more curious (and hopeful!) about the upcoming Netflix adaptation. Meanwhile, the 1800s patriarchy is alive and well, as bet-making seems to be totally fine with Ma and Laura. We also have Alison's infamous pickle-and-ice-cream moment, plus Percival and Doc Baker's utterly maddening reaction to her *gasp* gaining weight. Oh, the joys of period-accurate sexism… Other highlights include:Albert rocking some impressive peach fuzzGarvey's return (and a shirtless Andy for all you Teen Beat fans!)The telephone playing a surprisingly important roleAnd seriously—can someone take Mary out to a restaurant for once?!And of course, no chaotic trip to Sleepy Eye would be complete without the comedic genius of Eddie Quillan, who steals the show as Cavendish, Pa's latest nuisance. Dean and Alison also pull back the curtain on the technical side of Little House, dishing about the extensive voiceover work (aka "looping") that was a staple of the show—much to Dean's chagrin. And finally, the real question: Did Michael Landon wax his chest?

We're excited to welcome Russell Cowburn, professor or experimental physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, serial entrepreneur, and a man of faith, newly appointed Canon Scientist at St Albans Cathedral. Russel's journey to becoming a physicist started with a light bulb moment, quite literally. From his early interest in electronics to his education and career in Cambridge, with a couple of detours through engineering and France, his profile sits at the intersection between science and technology. With over 60 patents granted, Russell is a master at translating discoveries into technologies. The emergence of nanotechnology - the manipulation of matter on a tiny scale - in the late 90s shaped his research approach, recognising the need for collaboration across disciplines and the importance of technology transfer to solve real-world problems. In that spirit, he's founded three companies, including one focused on nanotechnology instrumentation and another aimed at speeding up drug discovery, reflecting his commitment to applying science to the needs of our modern societies. Together we talk about the oh-so important ability to pivot in science, standing on the shoulders of giants and his engagement in bridging science and faith.

Bananas are the world's most popular and most consumed fruit. They are also one of the most important agricultural commodities and food staples for hundreds of millions of people around the world.The fruit is also in danger of going extinct.The Panama Disease or TR-4 is threatening the most widely exported variety of the banana, the Cavendish. It makes up 99 percent of global banana exports, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission. But it's vulnerable to an aggressive fungal disease that is invading areas where most of the banana supply is produced.And it's happened before. Until the 1950s, consumers were eating a different variety of banana before it succumbed to an invading fungal disease. Now scientists are racing against the clock to save the banana – again.We discuss what's being done to save the world's favorite fruit.Want to support 1A?

Teams may regret letting go of high-profile riders. Listener engagement is crucial for podcast growth. The cycling community is evolving with new training philosophies. Professional contracts can impact a rider's career trajectory. Cavendish's success raises questions about team decisions. The podcast aims to include more guest appearances. Engaging with sponsors can enhance podcast sustainability. Just change, just get a new chain that has, that you can use different quick links on. If you do it right before your ride, you're pretty much just wasting your wax. You should just do all the races in the off season and see what happens. Shimano has the European market cornered. I think the SRAM front derailleur is a lot better than it used to be. The new SRAM Red Explorer 13 speed is hard to top for a gravel groupset. If you're going to do two by, do Shimano still even with my headaches with Shimano this year. The SRAM front derailleur takes up more room than the Shimano front derailleur. You can fully internally route Shimano electric cables. Shimano should be testing this themselves and they should be advertising this to people. Shimano has a strong reputation in the fishing industry. Drew acknowledges his low emotional intelligence. Drew's reputation as a 'doofus' is a recurring theme. The ethics of boxing are questioned in light of recent fights. Dizzle believes he could beat a 53-year-old Lance Armstrong. Listener questions about cycling gear are addressed humorously. Dizzle's following is described as passionate and cult-like. The hosts reflect on the nature of popularity in cycling. The conversation highlights the balance between personal growth and humor. The episode showcases the camaraderie and banter among the hosts. Training insane is essential for young athletes. Overtraining can lead to performance issues. Brevard is a top choice for gravel camps. Choosing the right bike is crucial for gravel riding. Engaging in new environments can enhance training motivation. Planning a training camp requires consideration of logistics. The right tire clearance is important for gravel bikes. Community and camaraderie are key in training camps.

A killer fungus is ravaging plantations of the Cavendish banana worldwide. It travels through the soil at lightning speed and chokes the banana plant so its leaves shrivel up and die. The disease is known as Tropical Race 4, or TR4 for short, and it has spread across the globe from Australia, to the Philippines, Pakistan and Mozambique. Now TR4 is widespread across Latin America. In Colombia where 30,000 people are employed in banana plantations, the government declared a state of national emergency when the fungus first arrived on farms in 2019. An international community of scientists is experimenting with different techniques to try to halt the spread of TR4 whether that's through gene-editing, selective breeding or injecting microbes into the soil.

Bestselling writer Paula Brackston is back to discuss her newest book The Haunting of Hecate Cavendish which is about a young, feisty librarian in England in 1881. The library, attached to an ancient cathedral, houses a special medieval map.  Little does she know how much the curious people and mythical creatures depicted on it will come to mean to her. Nor does she suspect that there are lost souls waiting for her in the haunted cathedral. Some will become her dearest friends. Some will seek her help in finding peace. Others will put her in great peril, and, as she quickly learns, threaten the lives of everyone she loves.Paula Brackston is the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch's Daughter and The Little Shop of Found Things, among others. Paula lives with her family in the historical border city of Hereford in the beautiful Wye valley. When not at her desk in her writing room, she enjoys long walks with the dog in a sublime landscape filled with the imprints of past lives and ancient times.For more information, check her out at paulabrackston.comClick here for her etsy shop which will soon be up and running. Click here to follow her on instagram.Thanks for listening.

It's once again the most important time of the year for road cycling. On Saturday, the 111th Tour de France rolls out from Florence, Italy, and it's time to get ready for the racing. Velo Pod host Hannah Knapp is joined by former pro cyclist Bobby Julich and Velo European Correspondent Andrew Hood to discuss the upcoming 2024 Tour de France. The discussion begins with the GC contenders and the excitement surrounding Tadej Pogacar who is fresh off a commanding Giro d'Italia victory and looking to complete the elusive Giro-Tour double. For all the hype of the “Big Four” of Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglič does anyone else besides Pogi stand a chance at the yellow jersey after injury riddles seasons?  The conversation then moves on to the must watch stages, with a focus on the grueling hilly opening stage that features seven consecutive climbs, and the challenging mountain stages and the final stage time trial in Nice.  When the race finally wraps up, will Mark Cavendish leave as the sole owner of the Tour de France stage win record? He needs one more to best Eddy Merckx, but any win in the Tour de France is a tall order, especially at Cavendish's age.  We also discuss the absence of American rider Sepp Kuss, the loyal lieutenant to Vingegaard and the reigning Vuelta champion, and the impact it will have on the race. Things then move on to a discussion about other American riders to watch, including Matteo Jorgensen and Nielson Powless. And of course there's Sean Quinn representing in his brand new national champion's jersey. Finally, Hoody and Bobby fill us in on what has them excited for the 2024 Tour de France beyond the GC race, including top riders to watch.

America's most-consumed fruit is at risk from a fungal disease. Researchers in North Carolina are on a mission to save Cavendish bananas. Also, birds move their vocal organs while they sleep, mimicking how they sing. Scientists have translated those movements into synthetic birdsong.Fighting Banana Blight In A North Carolina GreenhouseBananas are the world's most popular fruit. Americans eat nearly 27 pounds per person every year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A deadly fungus could destroy most of the world's crops, but a company in Research Triangle Park is trying to save the banana through gene editing.When it comes to growing bananas, RTP may not be the first place that pops in your head. But Matt DiLeo has a greenhouse full of them.DiLeo is Vice President of Research and Development at Elo Life Systems, a biotechnology firm that's exploring how gene editing can improve fruits and vegetables.On a cloudy afternoon in early April, DiLeo opened the greenhouse door and stepped into a steamy atmosphere with a slightly floral odor. This greenhouse is packed floor to ceiling with banana trees. You've got to duck to keep the giant leaves from hitting your face. Some of the bananas are yellow, some are green, some are tiny and pink. DiLeo says they all share an important trait.“Many of these are naturally resistant to the TR-4 fungus,” DiLeo said.Read the rest of the article at sciencefriday.com.Do Birds Sing In Their Dreams?When birds sleep, what are they dreaming about? Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have figured out a way to tap into bird dreams. When a bird slumbers, its voice box, called the syrinx, can move in ways that are similar to when they sing while they're awake. Essentially, birds are silently singing in their dreams.Now, researchers have figured out how to translate that vocal muscle movement into a synthetic bird song, meaning you can listen to how birds sing in their dreams.Guest host Maggie Koerth talks with Dr. Gabriel Mindlin, professor of physics at the University of Buenos Aires about his latest bird dream research, published in the journal Chaos.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
