Photo Bridge é um novo projeto dedicado à fotografia na capital francesa, onde as imagens nos convidam a atravessar fronteiras físicas, simbólicas e culturais. De 7 a 9 de novembro, na Halle des Blancs-Manteaux, no Marais, a primeira edição tem como convidada Françoise Schein — artista franco-belga que transforma alteridade, urbanismo e democracia em arte pública. Ao lado de Glaucia Nogueira, da associação Iandé, e de Charlotte Flossaut, da PhotoDoc, a fotógrafa constrói pontes entre territórios e direitos humanos. A proposta curatorial da primeira edição da Photo Bridge em Paris parte de um gesto coletivo. “Pensamos em conjunto em um momento, um evento, um encontro que permitirá que diferentes regiões do mundo se reúnam através da fotografia. Daí o nome ‘Photo Bridge'”, explica Charlotte Flossaut, da associação Photo Doc. “Não se trata de fotografias feitas no Brasil ou sob o olhar francês, mas de colocar em diálogo a energia que nos conecta.” Glaucia Nogueira, da associação Iandé, reforça: “Essa visibilidade que a gente tenta há 10 anos dar pra fotografia brasileira, que é muito rica, finalmente acontece. Nesse evento, são fotógrafos engajados com comunidades, com pertencimento, com território. Por isso a escolha da Françoise [Schein].” A relação de Schein com o Brasil nasceu de um desejo íntimo: adotar uma criança. “Durante os anos da adoção da minha filha, eu queria conhecer o país da minha filha, conhecer as raízes da minha filha, de onde ela vem, que tipo de pessoas moram lá”, conta. Foi esse impulso que a levou a propor, para o Photo Bridge, uma instalação chamada A Cascata: “uma cachoeira gigante de moradias, as pequeninas casinhas feitas de tijolos da favela, de várias favelas onde trabalhei e que eu fotografei”. A obra monumental de Françoise Schein reúne 27 fotógrafos que representam uma parte essencial da fotografia brasileira engajada. Para a artista franco-belga, o Brasil real está nas comunidades e nos territórios populares. “Vamos dizer, [quis trazer] uma apresentação desse olhar de hoje em dia super engajado sobre as questões da ecologia, do humanismo, da relação com a Terra — que é muito importante — dos indígenas, das origens da história, mas também da população da periferia da cidade, da questão das favelas e da força da população.” Ela vê nas construções informais uma arquitetura viva. “As comunidades agora são consideradas como uma tipologia de construção vernacular muito interessante e muito parecida com a dos nossos europeus. É só esperar mais tempo, mais um século, mais dois séculos, e você vai ver que a Rocinha vai ser um lugar genial, porque as casas vão ser melhoradas pelos moradores, e vai se tornar um lugar turistico — já é, mas por razões diferentes hoje.” Democracia entre azulejos e mapas A artista chegou ao Brasil em 1999 e, logo ao desembarcar, foi a São Paulo. “Bati à porta do Metrô Metropolitano de São Paulo e apresentei o meu trabalho que eu fiz em Portugal, em Lisboa”, lembra. O projeto foi aceito, e ela passou a trabalhar na Estação da Luz, no centro da cidade. “A Luz, como você sabe, é um bairro muito importante no centro da cidade que tem, de um lado, muitos museus super importantes: a Pinacoteca, o Museu da Língua Portuguesa. Também é um bairro muito pobre; só tem riqueza e pobreza junto nesse bairro. Adorei essa situação. Eu fiz essa ação durante 10 anos.” No Rio de Janeiro, integrou o programa Favela-Bairro e criou uma ágora e um mapa pintado na entrada da comunidade. “Tem um mapa enorme pintado na entrada da favela, porque quando você chega no Rio não há mapa de nenhuma favela. Os únicos mapas que existem estão nos computadores da cidade.” Em Copacabana, realizou uma obra sobre democracia na estação Siqueira Campos, pouco antes das eleições de Lula. “Foi um trabalho bem interessante, porque tive que fazer isso antes das eleições de Lula. O projeto até foi uma ação política, pois o presidente do metrô na época era uma pessoa negra, e ele viu imediatamente o interesse para a comunidade negra de ter um projeto sobre os direitos humanos no coração de Copacabana, que é o coração da cidade.” Uma artista entre subterrâneos e revoluções A trajetória de Françoise Schein é marcada por uma obsessão: inscrever os direitos humanos no cotidiano urbano. “Na época, eu vivia em Nova York. Eu era uma jovem arquiteta, estudando Urban Design na Columbia University e eu decidi que tive que analisar os mapas da cidade de Nova York, mas também de outras cidades: Buenos Aires, Paris, Bruxelas, outras cidades no mundo, porque eu acho que os mapas da cidade falam da cidade.” Foi ao analisar o mapa de Paris que ela percebeu a centralidade do Sena, dos museus, da história gravada no solo. “Isso fala de quê? Fala da realeza. E que também, contra essa realeza, veio a Revolução Francesa. E com a Revolução Francesa vem o primeiro texto da Declaração Universal dos Direitos do Homem e do Cidadão, feito em 1789.” A partir dessa constatação, nasceu sua obra mais emblemática: a intervenção na estação Concorde, inaugurada em 1991. Lá, Schein revestiu completamente as paredes do túnel com cerâmica branca, sobre a qual estão inscritas, em letras azuis, todas as palavras da Declaração de 1789. Cada azulejo traz uma letra, e as palavras se sucedem sem espaços, como um texto contínuo, onde apenas as pontuações marcam pausas visuais. O resultado é um mosaico textual monumental — cerca de 45 mil peças — que convida o passageiro a um contato cotidiano com os princípios fundadores da República Francesa: liberdade, igualdade e fraternidade. A escolha do local também carrega peso histórico. A Place de la Concorde, sob a qual passa a estação, foi palco de execuções durante a Revolução Francesa e é hoje símbolo da reconciliação nacional. Schein quis, com essa instalação, reintroduzir no coração do espaço público uma memória política e ética, reafirmando a importância dos direitos humanos num ambiente onde circulam milhões de pessoas todos os dias. “Eu preciso construir o texto embaixo da cidade, no subterrâneo da cidade”, disse, ao lembrar como a Revolução Francesa e a realeza se misturaram em sua mente com o metrô, a democracia e a arquitetura. A primeira edição da Photo Bridge, que faz parte do calendário cultural da temporada cruzada Brasil-França; fica em cartaz até 9 de novembro em Paris.
Miközben az európai részvénypiacok langyosvízben lubickolnak, az amerikai részvények esetében érdekes divergencia alakult ki a mesterséges intelligencia sztorira épülő papírok között. A chipgyártók továbbra is meglévő relatív erejével szemben a Meta jelentése óta egyre erősödnek kérdőjelek a hatalmas beruházási volumen megtérülésével, az egyre inkább hitelre épülő finanszírozás kockázataival kapcsolatban. Eközben a private credit, azaz a direkt magánhitelezés piacán is vannak problémák, a Blackstone árfolyama pedig a tavaszi mélypontokat közelíti. Lesz a füst után láng is? Donald Trump számára pedig nem volt túl kellemes az elmúlt pár nap: miközben továbbra sem sikerült megoldani a kormányzati leállás problémáját, komoly választási eredményeket könyvelhettek el a demokraták az atlanti régióban, ezalatt pedig a Legfelsőbb Bíróság általa kinevezett bírái is kötözködnek a vámok kérdésében.

This week we talk about Mach 1, the Bell X-1, and the Concorde.We also discuss the X-59, the Tu-144, and Boom Supersonic.Recommended Book: Red Team Blues by Cory DoctorowTranscriptThe term “supersonic,” when applied to speed, refers to something moving faster than the speed of sound—a speed that is shorthanded as Mach 1.The precise Mach 1 speed of sound will be different depending on the nature of the medium through which an object is traveling. So if you're moving at sea level versus up high in the air, in the stratosphere, the speed of sound will be different. Likewise if you're moving through moist air versus dry air, or moving through water versus moving through syrup, different speed of sound, different Mach 1.In general, though, to give a basic sense of how fast we're talking here, if an object is moving at sea level through dry air at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius, which is 68 degrees fahrenheit, Mach 1 is about 768 miles per hour, which is about 1,126 feet per second, and 343.2 meters per second.It's fast! It's very fast. Again, this is the speed at which sound moves. So if you surpass the speed of sound, if you go supersonic, you will arrive faster than the sound you make while moving.Back in 1947, an experimental American plane called the Bell X-1 broke the sound barrier, surpassed Mach 1, reaching a speed of almost 1,000 miles per hour using a 6,000 pound thrust rocket propulsion system. A later version of the same rocket-powered plane, the Bell X-1A, which was basically the same vehicle, it just had more fuel capacity, allowing the rocket to burn longer, achieved 1,600 miles per hour in 1956.Prior to that, in 1943, British began working on a secret experimental aircraft called the Miles M.52, intending to build a plane capable of traveling 1,000 mph. Interestingly, this project was apparently the result of the British wanting to keep up with a supposed already existing German aircraft capable of achieving that speed, though it's now believed the intelligence that led the British to believe the Germans had a supersonic-capable plane was the result of a mistranslation—the Germans hit 1,000 km per hour, which is about 621 mph, and still subsonic.Though apparently a success in terms of research and innovation, the Miles M.52 project was cancelled in 1946, due partly to budgetary concerns, and partly because the new government didn't believe supersonic aircraft were practical, or maybe even feasible.After the existence of this project was revealed to the public, however, criticism for the cancellation mounted, and the design was translated into new, unmanned scale-model experimental versions of the plane which achieved controlled Mach 1.38 supersonic speeds, and both the design and research from this program was shared with the American company, Bell, and all that knowledge informed the development of the aforementioned Bell X-1 supersonic plane.Again, that successful Bell mission was flown in 1947, and in 1961, a Douglas jetliner, a commercial jet, broke the sound barrier during a controlled test dive, and that fed the development of an intended supersonic airliner in the US, though similar research being conducted elsewhere would bear more direct and immediate fruit.In the Soviet Union, a supersonic jetliner called the Tupolev Tu-144 entered service in 1968, and a jetliner co-developed by the British and French, the Concorde, began construction in 1965, and tallied its first flight in March of 1969.The Tu-144 was thus the world's first commercial supersonic airliner, by a few months, and it also became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2, twice the speed of sound, in 1970.The Tu-144 was plagued by reliability issues from the get-go, however, and while performing maneuvers at an air show in Paris in 1973, it disintegrated in midair, which—combined with its high operating costs reduced its long-term market viability, especially internationally. By the mid-1970s, it was primarily operating within the Soviet Union, and after a new variant of the jet crashed in 1978, the Tu-144 program was cancelled in 1983. Existing models continued to be use for niche purposes, like training space program pilots, and for a supersonic research program undertaken by NASA in the late-1990s, but the final Tu-144 flight was in mid-1999, and all surviving aircraft are now on display or in storage.The Concorde has a similar history. Original forecasts for the supersonic airliner market were optimistic, and while the craft seemed to be generally more reliable and less issue-prone than the Tu-144, and it enjoyed a period of fanfare and promotion, as a sort of luxury experience for folks crossing the Atlantic in particular, cutting travel times in half, a major crash in mid-2000, which killed all 109 occupants and four people on the ground, led to the suspension of service until late-2001, and all remaining Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003—about 20 of them are on display throughout North American and Europe, as of the mid-2020s.The costs associated with operating Concorde aircraft, as with the Tu-144, were also quite high, and those costs and other complications led to the cancellation of a would-be supersonic jetliner competitor from Boeing, the 2707, in 1971, before it built any prototypes.What I'd like to talk about today is a renewed enthusiasm for supersonic passenger aircraft, and what's changed that might make supersonic transport a viable market, today.—In the United States, commercial aircraft are not allowed to fly at supersonic speeds. This is because the sonic booms generated by supersonic flight, which are shockwaves that work a bit like the crack of a bullwhip or the firing of a bullet, but much, much larger, can set off alarms, rattle or shatter windows, and generally create all sorts of chaos on the ground, even in areas not directly under the aircraft that's breaking the sound barrier.This was true even during the heyday of the Concorde: the craft was only allowed to travel at supersonic speeds over the ocean, because doing so over populated areas was such a pain, and in some cases, a danger.Sonic booms aren't the only reason supersonic aircraft like the Concorde failed to establish a long-term presence in the airline industry, but they're a big part of it. It's just really difficult to work around that kind of persistent issue.This is why a new experimental project by NASA, the X-59 Quesst, with two-s's, Quesst standing for Quiet SuperSonic Technology, is garnering so much attention. Built by Lockheed Martin, the X-59 is said to dramatically reduce the scale of sonic booms, instead producing what's been described as a sonic thump, its long, slender nose breaking up the pressure waves that otherwise build up and create that much larger, more impactful shock wave boom, and its engine is on top of the plane rather than underneath it, a design choice that sends the majority of remaining shock wave impacts upward toward the sky, rather than down toward the ground.The X-59 is still just an experimental jet. It's a single-seater, it's about twice as long as an F-16 fighter jet, and it can cruise at around 925 miles per hours, which is Mach 1.4.It's hoped that this new design will allow for the creation of future supersonic jetliners, though, as being able to traverse oceans twice as fast would bring massive economic benefits, in terms of shipping people, but also all kinds of goods. Being able to use these aircraft fully, at their full speed, over land and to and from any airport, would likewise make them more versatile and introduce new benefits and, hopefully, favorable economics.Worth noting here is that this jet is a descendent of that first Bell X-1 plane that broke the sound barrier in 1947; NASA's X-planes are innovative models meant to push the boundaries of what's currently possible, and the X-59 is just a more modern version of that initial X-1 conception in many ways.That said, the X-59 has only been successfully flown at low speeds and altitudes at this point. It got a lot of press at the end of October 2025 for successfully completing its first flight, which shows it can fly and land, which is good. But its inaugural flight stuck with a low altitude and just 240 miles per hour; really slow for a jet, and too low for a commercial airliner.The folks behind this project have also said that while they have every reason to believe this design will both work and create a far less impactful sonic boom, they don't yet know if that boom will actually be tolerable for people on the ground. Simulating such things is different from the experience of them, and they won't know until they power the thing all the way up and have it break the sound barrier whether the sonic thump will be barely noticeable and tolerable for folks near airports and flight paths, or if it will be better, but still not good enough to make this a viable alternative to existing jets.There are other entities working on similar things right now, including a company called Boom Supersonic that has already flown a piloted demonstration aircraft, the XB-1, at supersonic speeds—Mac 1.122, which is about 750 mph—at an altitude of over 35,000 feet; the first time a non-government-affiliated aircraft has done so.That was back in March of 2024, and the company plans to build a commercial supersonic aircraft that will carry between 64 and 80 passengers at Mach 1.7, on hundreds of global routes; they say they already have a large number of orders for this passenger aircraft they intend to build, and they say to begin with, they'll be able to produce 66 of them per year from their factory in North Carolina. They say that they'll have the first full-scale prototype of that passenger aircraft, called the Overture, in 2027, and they're aiming to put that craft into service beginning in 2029 or 2030.They're not the only private company aiming to produce supersonic aircraft for various purposes, either. The promise of moving people and things around the world, faster than most of today's options can manage, and in many cases far faster, is still tantalizing for many industries, so long as regulatory, safety, and technological hurdles can be traversed. For most of these private companies, their innovation seems to be mostly in price and scale, not reducing the boom, but some have also claimed that their sonic booms are more moderated; there's also a good chance findings from the NASA X project will translate over to the commercial world in due time, if these companies survive, blending those innovations.It's an interesting moment in this space, then, in part because it seems like supersonic flight is appealing again, to some, at least, after a long period of dashed hopes—that dashing partly the consequence of flaws in earlier models, and headline-grabbing crashes that ruined a lot of appetites for the option.But also because we could see modern technologies, from sensors to propulsion systems to manufacturing capacities applied to this vehicle type, which could ease a lot of the issues that made the Concordes and Tu-144s non-workable the first time around, and could make this type of transport and travel cheaper, too, though probably not until mid-century at the earliest, according to current timelines.Show Noteshttps://arstechnica.com/space/2025/10/nasa-test-flight-seeks-to-help-bring-commercial-supersonic-travel-back/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boomhttps://www.wired.com/story/nasas-quiet-supersonic-jet-takes-flight/https://www.sofeminine.co.uk/back-in-4-years-your-london-new-york-time-slashed-by-3-hours-as-60-80-seat-supersonic-jet-nears/https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/nasa-takes-step-closer-launching-quiet-supersonic-jets-127036299https://boomsupersonic.com/https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/lowsup.htmlhttps://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/supersonic-flight/https://www.spikeaerospace.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_M.52https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_X-1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_aircrafthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_transporthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_speed This is a public episode.

Tim Richards is the CEO and Founder of Vue International—one of Europe's largest cinema groups. He joins Will Bain for the Big Boss Interview to share his remarkable journey from mergers and acquisitions (M&A) lawyer to major Hollywood player, all sparked by a chance ad in the Financial Times. The anonymous job listing turned out to be for a role at Paramount and Universal, leading to first-class travel on Concorde and a front-row seat in the film industry.Despite the glitz and glamour, Tim recounts a moment of reckoning when he realised his division was in trouble. That prompted him to seek a new venture—and Vue was born. Raising capital and acquiring the Warner Brothers circuit became, pardon the pun, paramount to Vue's success. In a scene straight out of a Hollywood film, Tim describes a rival cinema boss who, over lunch, threatened to build across the street from every Vue location in a bid to run them out of town.Tim reflects on how the industry has evolved over his four decades in it, including the catastrophic impact of COVID-19, which forced all Vue cinemas worldwide to close for two years. He describes the experience as an “emotional rollercoaster,” admitting to moments of real struggle.The conversation shifts to the rise of streaming and the so-called “content wars.” Tim doesn't see Netflix and Disney+ as direct competitors. Instead, he views other out-of-home entertainment—like theme parks and football matches—as the real rivals. He's confident there's room for both streaming and theatrical releases and is optimistic about the future, especially with a new wave of films and innovations on the horizon.He also addresses the challenge of attracting younger audiences and keeping cinema affordable, while criticising government policies that raise costs for the leisure sector—arguing they often hurt the very people they aim to help.Despite the hardships the industry has faced, Tim believes 2026 could break all box office records.His story has all the trappings of blockbuster movie, but it's unlikely to be streamed first.00:18 Sean Farrington and Will Bain set out who Tim Richards is and give overview of topics 01:42 Tim Richards joins the interview 02:55 Tim's early career as a lawyer and move into entertainment 04:01 Working at Paramount and Universal; global cinema industry in the 80s/90s 06:05 Tim's transition from studio executive to entrepreneur 09:38 Identifying a gap in the cinema market 11:28 The pivotal Warner Brothers Circuit acquisition 12:48 Innovations in cinema experience: stadium seating and customer focus 14:00 The impact of the pandemic and streaming on the cinema industry 16:21 Theatrical vs. streaming releases; industry changes post-pandemic 19:45 The ongoing role of made-for-TV movies and studio strategies 22:05 The emotional toll of the pandemic and business survival 23:55 Innovations in customer experience: frictionless cinema visits 26:30 Record-breaking attendance across genres and demographics 27:30 The challenge of attracting younger audiences 28:30 Cinema pricing, accessibility, and dynamic pricing strategies 29:45 Navigating rising costs and government policy impacts 30:45 The future of cinema: upcoming films and industry optimism 32:00 Supporting British and independent films; new ventures 36:00 Closing remarks and outroPresenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones
Lang leve de Airshow! De Airshow is méér dan een mooie herinnering. Vraag het maar aan Martin Schoonderbeek. De man achter de Wings of Freedom airshow op een weiland in Ede! Martin is een ware Top Gun in Balanceren van Prioriteiten. De Serieuze Spotter plezieren. De Kenner behagen. De Standhouder tevreden houden. En vooral ook het klootjesvolk massaal doen toestromen, al kan dat geen Concorde van een Spitfire onderscheiden. Een kwaliteit die hij deelt met Ed de Bruijn die vele jaren lang de grootste vliegshow van Nederland programmeerde en ongelofelijke vliegtuigen naar Nederland haalde. Alsof dat nog niet genoeg is wist hij Texel te overspoelen met tienduizenden kijkers naar zijn Texel Airshow die zijn vliegveld en het eiland ver oversteeg. Wat te denken van Tom van der Meulen. Trotse tweede generatie bezitter en vlieger van Oostwold Airport. Hij haalde – bijna – een compleet squadron Warbirds naar dat kleine dorp in het mooie Groningen.Meesters zijn Ed, Tom en Martin in het bijeenbrengen van unieke vliegtuigen, in het bespelen van sponsoren en misschien wel het allerbelangrijkste: de Overheid te vriend houden, met haar eindeloze regels en voorschriften: Lokaal, Provinciaal en Landelijk. Martin Schoonderbeek weet hoe het moet. Tom laat zich niet kisten en Ed, die krijgt het voor elkaar. Maar het is wel uiterst gecompliceerd. Dat leggen ze uit aan Goof & Goot. En aan u, natuurlijk, als u tenminste wil luisteren!
Norvégia mesés gazdagságát sokszor kapcsoljuk össze az 1969-ben felfedezett olajkinccsel és annak a szupertudatos menedzselésével. Pedig a skandináv ország már 1938-ban is Európa legmagasabb egy főre jutó GDP-jével büszkélkedhetett. Akkor tulajdonképpen miért is kőgazdag Norvégia – tehetjük fel magunknak a jogos kérdést és pontosan erre is keressük a megfejtést a Concorde Podcast mai adásában. Műsorunk végén pedig meg is találjuk a választ. Norvégia helyzete olyan ma a világban, mintha egy város leggazdagabb és egyben pénzügyileg a legtudatosabb polgára nyerné meg a lottóötöst.A mai beszélgetésben Dormán Balázs és Jónap Richárd vesz részt.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport

Ahol a héten korszakos bejelentéseket is tettek, aminek köszönhetően először a tőzsdetörténelemben a cég piaci kapitalizációja átlépte az 5.000 milliárd dollárt. Az Alphabet (megint) jót jelentett és komoly versenyelőnye lehet a számítási kapacitások terén.

Mai adásunkban egy olyan vállalattal foglalkozunk, amely az egy munkavállalóra jutó árbevétel tekintetében 10-15-szörösen lekörözi az Nvidiát és az Apple-t, amely két vállalat ezen ranglista második és negyedik helyén áll.Ez a hatalmas üzleti siker azonban olyan komoly társadalmi mellékhatásokkal jár együtt, mint például a 18-30 év közötti amerikai férfiak szüzességének szignifikáns növekedése.Pontosan ezen társadalmi mellékhatások miatt vérző szívvel ültünk be a Concorde podcastszobájába, hogy átbeszéljük napjaink egyik leginkább ellentmondásos jelenségének, az Onlyfans robbanásszerű elterjedésének a különféle aspektusait.A mai beszélgetésben Benke Vali Leria, Horváth Ákos és Jónap Richárd vesz részt.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport

Venezuela partjainál érdekes dolgok történnek mostanában. Egyre többen vélik úgy, hogy nem pusztán a drogszállító hajók elleni amerikai támadásokról van szó mostanában, hanem mintha a Monroe-doktrína elvei kezdenének érvényesülni. Mindeközben kilenc egymást követő emelkedő hetet produkált az arany, az ellentétes pályán mozgó bitcoin eközben 3 és fél hónapos mélypontra esett. A korábban megfigyelt korrelációk közül egyre kevesebb él mostanság, az amerikai részvénypiacon is a technológiai behemótok terén egy igazi páternoszter üzemel. Az Nvidia például nem tud felállni az október 10-i nap eséséből, miközben minden OpenAI együttműködőt úgy vesznek, mintha nem lenne holnap.

Dans cet épisode, on plonge dans l'histoire du vol supersonique commercial, une technologie révolutionnaire qui a marqué l'aviation à partir des années 1970. Imaginez traverser l'Atlantique en moins de 4 heures, à plus de deux fois la vitesse du son ! Du légendaire Concorde au Tupolev Tu-144 soviétique, en passant par des projets américains ambitieux comme le Boeing 2707, plusieurs avions ont tenté de conquérir le ciel supersonique. Alors pourquoi ces avions ont-ils disparu de nos aéroports ? Je vous emmène dans les coulisses des grandes courses au vol supersonique entre les États-Unis, l'Union soviétique et l'alliance franco-britannique, tout en expliquant les défis techniques, le bang supersonique et les coûts exorbitants qui ont scellé le sort de ce rêve d'aviation. Aujourd'hui, plusieurs entreprises comme Boom Supersonic, Spike Aerospace et la NASA tentent de ressusciter le vol supersonique commercial. Alors, un retour est-il possible ? Est-ce que vous et moi pourrons un jour voler à nouveau plus vite que le son ?Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
Június eleji adásunkban a kínai elektromosautó versenyhelyzet és az amerikai vámok által kialakított harapófogóba beszorult európai autópiaci helyzetet vizsgáltuk meg. Mai adásunk részben ennek a folytatása, ahol nagyobb hangsúlyt helyezünk az egyes strukturális problémákra. Olyannyira, hogy még azt is kérdésbe helyezzük, hogy egyáltalán mekkora értéket képez az autó napjaink fiatalabb generációinak.A mai beszélgetésben Nagy Bertalan, a Concorde privátbanki csoportvezetője, Somlai-Kiss Máté, a Concorde junior részvényelemzője és Jónap Richárd, a Concorde digitális tartalomért és stratégiáért felelős vezetője vesz részt.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport
A forint továbbra is erős, bár nincs új éves csúcson az euróval szemben. Donald Trump megrázta a pofonfát az október 10-i pénteken, amikor a kínai ritkaföldfém fenyegetésre vámfenyegetéssel válaszolt. A hirtelenjött turbulencia háromnapos nyertese a nemesfém szegmens, míg a nagy vesztesek eddig a kriptodevizák. Kiskapitalizációjú és „átlagrészvény” relatív erő is érkezett. Közben Jerome Powell kezdi elővenni egyik eddig rejtegetett aduászát, a mennyiségi szigorítás visszavonását, ami 2019 negyedik negyedéves stílusú támogatás lehet a piacoknak. A technológiai behemótok egyre nagyobb all-inben vannak az AI uralmáért folytatott versenyben, ami egy makaói kaszinós történetre emlékeztetett bennünket.A hét legfontosabb eseményeiről Jónap Richárd, Móró Tamás és Tunkli Dániel beszélgetett.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport
Il faut défendre la société (contre les images)Les images nous environnent, nous dominent, nous hantent. Certaines s'imposent en frappant les esprits quand d'autres, plus sournoises, s'insinuent et s'invitent pas surprise dans nos imaginaires. Doit-on apprendre désormais à se défendre contre elles, parce qu'elles seraient trop agressives ou trop séduisantes ?Patrick Boucheron s'interroge sur le regain de ces hantises, faisant revenir à nous l'iconoclasme latent de la culture occidentale, car cette question d'actualité doit être étudiée au regard d'une histoire longue des images, des imaginaires et des œuvres d'art. Elle met donc en jeu une archéologie de notre culture visuelle, que l'historien tente d'éclairer en ouvrant le musée invisible de nos points aveugles.La conférence sera introduite par François-René Martin, professeur d'histoire de l'art aux Beaux-Arts de Paris.Patrick Boucheron est historien, professeur au Collège de France, titulaire de la chaire « Histoire des pouvoirs en Europe occidentale, XIIIe-XVIe siècle ». Spécialiste de l'histoire politique, culturelle et monumentale des villes italiennes à la fin du Moyen Âge, il leur a consacré de nombreux ouvrages, dont certains tentent de faire, avec de l'art, une histoire qui n'est pas exactement une histoire de l'art (comme dans Conjurer la peur. Sienne, 1338. Essai sur la force politique des images, Paris, Seuil, 2013). Il est producteur, sur France Culture, de l'émission hebdomadaire « Allons-y voir » et anime régulièrement (notamment au Théâtre de la Concorde) des « Ateliers d'autodéfense contre les images ».Amphithéâtre d'HonneurMardi 14 octobre 2025Crédits photo : © Droits réservés
A Concorde Podcast mai vendége Egerszegi Krisztián, akinek a neve a MiniCRM és a Cégépítők Podcast kapcsán lehet ismerős. Krisztián szerteágazó személyes tapasztalatokkal rendelkezik egy olyan cégépítés kapcsán, aminek a során az általa menedzselt és tulajdonolt szoftvercég eljutott az 54 millió forintos árbevételű vállalkozás stádiumból a már a partnerségre és felvásárlásra is kívánatos 2 milliárd forint feletti árbevételű állapotig. És nem csak eljutott idáig, hanem az idén meg is történt a tranzakció, a svéd group.one felvásárolta a MiniCRM-et.Jónap Richárd és Egerszegi Krisztián beszélgetésének két témacsoportja lesz. Az egyik Krisztián személyes „utazása” az imént bemutatott vállalati stádiumok között. A másikat pedig a group.one honlapjáról származik: Hogyan lehet a kis (és közepes) vállalkozásokat segíteni abban, hogy nyerjenek az online térben?Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport

A forint az elmúlt hónapok legnagyobb esését élte át hétfőn, de azóta már visszaerősödött. Egyre több helyen merül fel a kormányzatok részéről a jegybankok felé az igény az alacsonyabb kamatokra. Ebben a környezetben viszont lubickolnak a nemesfémek. Az AMD-OpenAI deal megmutatja azt, hogy napjaink AI infrastruktúra szárnyalásában a semmiből is teremthető 100 milliárd dolláros nagyságrendű összeg. Az OpenAI a Meta Platformsra is egyre veszélyesebb mindeközben. Tágabb perspektívából nézve a mesterséges intelligencia a demográfiai probléma gyógyszere lehet. A francia problémák ellenére az európai tőzsdék is emelkednek.A hét legfontosabb eseményeiről Jónap Richárd, Móró Tamás és Le Phuong Hai Thanh beszélgetett.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport
Keys To The Jet Podcast – Supersonic Flight: How It Changed America, Part Two – Cold War and the Supersonic DreamFrom the fiery skies of Vietnam to the edge of space, Part Two of our Supersonic Flight series dives headfirst into the Cold War — when speed, altitude, and paranoia ruled the world.Red breaks down the rise of the legendary F-4 Phantom II, the godlike SR-71 Blackbird, and the high-flying dreams of the B-58 Hustler and XB-70 Valkyrie — the kind of aircraft that made Soviet radar operators question their life choices.We'll talk about how the SR-71 outran missiles, how the F-4 leaked more fluids than a 1970s muscle car, and how the world flirted with the future through the Concorde and Tu-144 “Concordski.” Supersonic wasn't just technology — it was national pride, Cold War theater, and pure adrenaline on wings.So grab your ear protection and a cold one, because this episode is loaded with speed, sound, and straight-up chaos.

Az adóssághegyek globálisan hatalmasat nőttek az elmúlt egy évtizedben, ami egyre több kérdést vet fel ezek menedzselhetőségével kapcsolatban. Adásunkban a túlburjánzott államadósságok kezelésének lehetséges irányaival foglalkozunk. Együttélés, költségvetési fegyelem, monetáris elnyomás, kinövés, elinflálás: igyekszünk a legfőbb menedzselési lehetőségeket végig beszélni. Ehhez három ország aktuális esetét hozzuk be példának: Japánét, Görögországét és az Egyesült Államokét.A mai adásban a verbális adósságmenedzseri szerep Szőnyi Dávidot illeti, aki Jónap Richárddal beszélget.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport
"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send us a textWhat if the call that changes everything arrives decades late? Pete Townsend—actor, collector of lost causes, and lifelong Bristolian—shares a story stitched with grit, humour, and heart. From a childhood spent trying to meet a father's unreachable ideals to a mid-rehearsal phone call revealing a twin sister he never knew, Pete's journey explores identity, reunion, and the quiet power of being useful to others.We wander through Bristol's creative life: Carol singing that becomes Gilbert & Sullivan, Opera choruses that lead to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and a Director's note that becomes a life rule—“I can see you acting.” Pete talks about learning to be truthful on stage, why comedy from the Goons to Python shaped his ear, and how Radio 4 became his “university of the air.” He also opens a window into Bristol's aerospace history with vivid memories of Concorde's first lift and final landing—right down to a pilot's cap trapped forever by heat and speed—and the surreal night he attended the Wicked premiere thanks to a name mix-up with the other Pete Townsend.Beyond the anecdotes sits a deeper question: how do we measure a life? Pete doesn't chase applause; he values usefulness, kindness, and the sense that time spent together wasn't wasted. We talk legacy, adoption records, twin studies in Minnesota, the pull of old vehicles and even older stories, and why persistence—however modest—often wins the day. It's reflective, funny, and deeply human.If you're drawn to personal storytelling, adoption reunions, Bristol theatre, Concorde lore, or the craft of acting with honesty, you'll feel at home here. Listen, share with someone who loves a good true story, and if the idea of preserving a life story speaks to you, subscribe, leave a review, and consider gifting a Legacy Life Reflections session to someone you love.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Trasformare il BOOM di un aereo supersonico in un tonfo sordo. È l’obiettivo di una serie di progetti che stanno tentando di riportare in vita il volo supersonico in ambito civile. Progetti che riaprono una stagione - quella del Concorde - chiusa ormai da decenni, ma facendo un passo avanti ritenuto cruciale, per permettere il volo supersonico anche sulla terraferma: attutire quel potente boato, simile a un colpo di cannone. USA, Giappone e Cina ci stanno lavorando e, seppur meno alacremente, anche l’Europa. Intanto il primo prototipo di aereo supersonico “low boom”, l’X59 della NASA, si prepara a effettuare entro l’anno il primo volo. Ne parliamo ancora con Nicole Viola, professoressa di Ingegneria Aerospaziale del Politecnico di Torino.

Tornare al volo supersonico civile. È l’obiettivo di numerosi progetti che vedono coinvolti i principali paesi dotati di capacità e industrie aerospaziali: USA, Giappone, Cina e UE.Ma il principale problema da risolvere per andare oltre l’era del Concorde, è riuscire a controllare il “boom sonico”: il botto, simile a un’esplosione, è dovuto al fatto che le onde acustiche emesse da un velivolo che viaggia a velocità supersonica tendono a fondersi, formando un’onda d’urto capace di farsi sentire a molte decine di chilometri di distanza, rendendo pressoché impraticabile il volo supersonico sopra le regioni abitate. Da qui, progetti come l’XB1 o l’X59, che pur con differenti approcci inseguono il medesimo risultato. Ne parliamo con Nicole Viola, professoressa di Ingegneria Aerospaziale del Politecnico di Torino.
In the note attributed to an unnamed assistant, she says Jeffrey Epstein changed her life. Once a 22-year-old divorcee working as a hostess in a hotel restaurant, she claims Epstein introduced her to elite society and experiences far beyond what she'd ever known. She name-drops having met Prince Andrew, President Clinton, Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Michael Jackson, and other high‐profile figures. She writes about traveling the world with him, doing things like flying on the Concorde, taking flying lessons, scuba diving, parasailing, attending Victoria's Secret fashion shows, seeing the private quarters of Buckingham Palace, and even sitting on the Queen's throne.More than just experiences, her letter is a praise piece: she expresses admiration, gratitude, and wonder. She calls Epstein “the most extraordinary person I've ever met,” saying she can't believe how lucky she is to have become part of his life. She also mentions learning “countless skills” thanks to him. Altogether, her stories paint a picture of Epstein as someone who elevated her existence, opening doors and giving her access to opportunity, privilege, and glamour — whether or not those images now seem deeply troubling.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's assistant names Donald Trump, Prince Andrew among leaders she metBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Az Oracle szárnyalásáról beszélgettünk, hiszen a papír árfolyama egyetlen nap alatt 40 százalékot emelkedett a tőzsdén, amivel Larry Ellison, a vállalat társalapítója és 41 százalékos tulajdonosa a világ leggazdagabb emberévé vált. Vendégünk Móró Tamás volt, a Concorde vezető stratégája. A második részben az augusztusi inflációs adatok alapján megállapított idei nyugdíjkorrekcióról és annak hatásairól kérdeztük Farkas Andrást, nyugdíjszakértőt, a NyugdíjGuru News portál alapító-főszerkesztőjét. Az adás utolsó részében az ingatlanközvetítők új feladatairól és hirtelen megnövekedett munkájáról volt szó. A 2025-ös REA SUMMIT kapcsán Nagy Bálintot, a rendezvény főszervezőjét kérdeztük arról, mi vár az ingatlanközvetítőkre a következő hónapokban.

Presa din afara Franței analizează situația de după căderea guvernului lui François Bayrou. Accentele critice nu lipsesc. Iar comentatorii se întreabă cine își mai poate asuma acum reducerea necesară a cheltuielilor publice. Financial Times consideră că prăbușirea guvernului Bayrou „declanșează o nouă criză care riscă să se extindă pe străzi și pe piețele financiare, cu demonstrații și o posibilă retrogradare a ratingului datoriei franceze”. Pentru cotidianul spaniol El Mundo, „situația din Franța este o preocupare pentru Europa”, deoarece „căderea lui Bayrou evidențiază slăbiciunea politică a lui Emmanuel Macron”, într-un moment „deosebit de complex” . Președintele francez „exercită un leadership important alături de cancelarul german Friedrich Merz (...). Revenirea axei franco-germane, după sosirea lui Merz, părea o gură de aer”. Cu toate acestea, „dacă Macron trebuie să se concentreze pe propria supraviețuire”, acest avânt „riscă să se estompeze considerabil”, scrie ziarul spaniol. „Cine poate salva Franța acum?” – întreabă The Wall Street Journal. „Acest fiasco nu este vina lui Bayrou - adevărata problemă este că „reducerile reale de cheltuieli sunt politic excluse” din cauza „partidelor cheltuitoare de stânga și de dreapta (...). Bayrou spera să-i convingă pe parlamentari să cadă de acord asupra unei încetiniri (oricât de modeste) creșterii cheltuielilor publice viitoare. Nu a reușit”. Dar, după cum remarcă ziarul american, alegătorii sunt cei care „refuză să recompenseze politicienii care spun adevărul despre dezastrul bugetar și problemele economice ale Franței”. Iar The Washington Post crede că, „dacă francezii nu sunt dispuși să renunțe nici măcar la două zile de vacanță, cu siguranță nu sunt pregătiți să intre pe picior de război”. Acestea sunt vești proaste pentru Ucraina și Statele Unite, „deoarece ilustrează cât de dificil va fi pentru Europa să devină autosuficientă din punct de vedere militar într-un viitor nu prea îndepărtat”. The Times l-a văzut pe Bayrou ca pe ”un aristocrat ciufulit târât într-o căruță spre Place de la Concorde, care cu greu s-ar fi putut îndoi de soarta care îl aștepta”. Acum, Emmanuel Macron „caută un alt politician dispus să-și piardă capul pentru cauza austerității”. Cât despre ziua de acțiune planificată pentru miercuri, 10 septembrie, ziarul britanic consideră că „sindicatele franceze, minunat de nereformate, se pregătesc să organizeze o grevă generală pentru a protesta împotriva austerității. Strigătul lor de mobilizare, minunat și nihilist: Să blocăm totul!” După cum comentează Der Spiegel, ”mandatul lui Macron se încheie în mai 2027. Cu toate acestea, în practică, președintele s-a autodistrus deja în iunie [2024], când a decis de unul singur să dizolve Adunarea Națională, provocând astfel instabilitatea care subminează în prezent Franța Carisma poate ajuta la inspirarea alegătorilor să apere democrația. Willy Brandt a dovedit acest lucru în Germania, la fel ca și Barack Obama în Statele Unite. Dar poate, de asemenea, să-i conducă pe politicieni la intoxicarea propriilor egouri. O lecție deosebit de dureroasă, una pe care Franța abia o învață”.
On this jam-packed episode of Talking Guitars and Music News, we kicked things off with the world premiere of my brand-new demo/review for the Lock-It Guitar Strap—fresh from a local music shop right here in Santa Cruz. I put it through its paces, even testing it out on a killer Hondo Revival Explorer I spotted at the shop. That guitar had some serious vibes… and yes, I might be going back for it!

When planes fly faster than the speed of sound, air molecules can't get out of the way fast enough and begin to pack together. Eventually they form a wave in front of the aircraft, creating a burst of air pressure. And you get a big bang - the sound of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier - a sonic boom. This sonic boom can damage structures and break glass. Because of this, supersonic overland flight has been banned in the United States since the 1970s. That was always a problem for aircraft like The Concorde - it simply wasn't allowed to get any further than the eastern seaboard when flying from Europe. But now, America's FAA is in the process of lifting this restriction. In this episode of Weekend One on One, William Crossley, the head of aeronautics and astronautics at Purdue University in the US, explains commercial flights traveling at supersonic speeds could reduce a cross-country flight from five hours to one hour, saving people valuable time.
Airbnb will introduce a single-fee payment system in October, shifting service charges from guests to property managers, who will now pay 14–16% per booking, though the company says overall costs remain unchanged. Meanwhile, employers such as Positive Planet and Climate Perks are offering extra vacation days to staff who opt for lower-carbon travel methods like trains over flights, part of a growing “slow travel” movement. Finally, Boom Supersonic plans to launch three-hour New York–London flights by 2029 with its Overture aircraft, aiming for business-class travelers with $3,500 round-trip fares and new engine technology to replace the Concorde's outdated design.

Broadcaster and author Steve Blacknell is on the show to talk about his memoir, “Tales From the Bedroom Wall.” Known to a generation of fans for the mid-1980s MTV staple London Calling, Blacknell chronicles a whirlwind life of fame, lost fortunes, and everything in between. From first love Kate Bush to crossing the Atlantic on the Concorde with Phil Collins, and interviews with music's biggest names, the memoir brims with rock'n'roll excess, Hollywood heartbreak, addiction, and redemption. Joining from London, Blacknell dives into the tales behind the pages--and shares his own personal "rock & roll nightmare," which involves Bruce Springsteen.

Shawn Ryan Show Intro Advice for future innovators: Work on something that you would be proud to fail at“There's a whole generation or two that did not go into aviation because the door was closed to innovation.” – Blake Scholl Great people do not want to work for bosses who do not know what they are doing: There is no substitute for actually knowing what you are talking about and doing the work The world does not need more of what it has already got; the world needs more of what you can uniquely bring The incentives of government regulation agencies create an asymmetric bias towards conservatism, a reality that ultimately stifles progress and innovation; this centralizes and monopolizes risk decisions into the hands of government regulators The smaller the team, the easier it is to keep the talent bar high; the number one thing great people want is to work with other great people Using AI to create a talent engine: Have the AI handle the boring and rudimentary tasks so that human talent can work on the most interesting problems; this creates a flywheel of talent retention and magnetismBe unafraid to deploy inexperienced, high-aptitude talent – but phone somebody who has some gray hair The Speed Dividend from supersonic: If the flight is twice as fast, then you need half the number of pilots, half as many airplanes, and can get twice as many flights from the same number of airplanes and crewWork on what you love because you will learn so much about: You will learn 99% new stuff along the way, so why not learn 99.5% new stuff while working on something you really love?Go work on the thing that your five-year-old self would have been dazzled by Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgBlake Scholl is the Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, a company he started in 2014 to revive commercial supersonic flight with the Overture airliner, designed to fly at Mach 1.7 and carry 64–80 passengers.

Don't you just love an insane scheme by the Master? Especially when it involves disguising himself as a horrendous racial stereotype when he has no reason to be in disguise at all? Oh, and we have some wonderful product placement for Heathrow Airport and Concorde. And this story is *somehow* the Season 19 finale. That's right -we're talking about Time-Flight! Join us as we discuss the brown-ness of the 1980s, whether the episode takes place in the Jurassic or Pleistocene era (it's the former – Reilly's right, Anthony's wrong), why the Master feels the need to disguise himself, the TARDIS repair hour, and the rather questionable behaviour and motives of the Professor. Anthony finds a way to sneak in some Tinie Tempah lyrics without a single other member of the cast noticing. Typical. If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the this oddity available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

We're kicking things off with a brand-new TEASE guitar reveal — and trust us, this one's got everyone talking. Then, big news from the world of effects pedals: Kathy Rhoads, sister of the legendary Randy Rhoads, just dropped a major update via Instagram — the long-awaited Concorde Edition of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ is dropping September 2nd! “The first version went fast, and so many of you were asking for more,” Kathy shared. “This version has all the same circuitry, but the finish is inspired by Randy's first Concorde Jackson Guitar, which he designed after flying on the actual Concorde Jet during his Ozzy tour. This is NOT a limited-edition – so everyone who wants one should be able to get their hands on it!” We are beyond ready to plug in and crank one of these up!
In this captivating episode of Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent takes us on a nostalgic and thought-provoking journey through two of the most ambitious technological marvels of the 20th century: the Apollo moon landings and the supersonic Concorde jet. With his signature wit and wisdom, Kent reflects on the boundless optimism of the 1960s and 70s, when Americans believed we'd be living on the moon and flying across the globe in under three hours. Kent revisits the excitement and eventual disillusionment surrounding these innovations, exploring how high costs, political hesitations, and public indifference grounded dreams that once soared. He also shares personal anecdotes—from flying the Concorde to humorous misunderstandings in Congress—and even touches on modern parallels with artificial intelligence. This episode is a rich blend of history, humor, and insight, reminding us that sometimes, “the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.”
Marc Marquez's domination of MotoGP in 2025 continued as the sport travelled to Brno for Round 12 of the Championship. It was another double victory for Marquez with the Sprint and the Grand Prix win, but it wasn't straight-forward, especially on Saturday. Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont break down why Marquez had to intentionally drop the lead of the race due to warnings over tyre pressures, and how Dorna got their sums wrong when caluclating its own regulation. With Alex Marquez crashing in the GP, it pushes older brother Marc's Championship lead up to 120 points, and made way for Marco Bezzecchi to lead the fight for Aprilia, taking his second runner-up finish in the last three weekend. With Raul Fernandez finishing as top independent and Jorge Martin back and happy in 7th, is Aprilia back on a positive upswing? There's also a discussion on a potentially huge story - MotoGP's manufacteurs banding together against Dorna Sports as rights holders for the sport, to ask for a bigger slice of the overall revenue, and to own their own slots on the grid, rather than have them be at Dorna's discretion. Is a "Concorde Agreement" reachable between the parties, and is this more to do with Liberty's recent acquisition? Finally, the 2026 MotoGP calendar has dropped, with Brazil making its debut for 2026 in March, and promise of a return to Argentina's Buenos Aries in 2027.
