We are thrilled to bring you our interviews with Alan Tudyk (K-2SO) and Margit Pfeiffer (Supervising Sound Editor on ANDOR season 1 and season 2). Both were incredible conversations discussing the world of ANDOR. Alan's interview starts at 31:45 and Margit's interview starts at 6:40. We talked: Constructing the vocals and layering a world like Ghorman with Margit. Building the tension of Mon's speech through sound design. The differences between working on Andor and Rogue One — and what Alan would have changed (and what he wouldn't!). How Alan came to join team Rogue One and accept the role of K-2SO.  … and so much more. Thank you so much to Lucasfilm for the opportunity!

My guest on the show today is Ben Brostoff, software engineer at Klaviyo and the writer behind the Stock Talk newsletter on Substack. Ben has a fascinating perspective on investing—he started out in investment banking, taught himself to code, and now spends his free time researching microcap companies, especially in the software and tech space. In this episode, we dive into Ben's investing philosophy—why he targets 8–10% returns with the least amount of risk, how AI is changing the way he evaluates software moats, and why he won't own a company unless he's written a blog post about it. We also dig into some of the key lessons he's learned, from the dangers of leverage to the power of doing more than just reading a 10-K. Ben shares actionable frameworks for evaluating microcap software companies, offers a nuanced view on AI's impact on infrastructure and margins, and explains why, for him, true due diligence means turning over every rock. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast. I am not a shareholder in any of them.

'The Value of the Revised Draft Declaration on International Solidarity as a Corrective to the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum' The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum sets forth a solidarity mechanism that seeks to ameliorate inequalities in responsibility for processing asylum claims. NGOs are concerned that States are pursuing externalisation agreements and strengthening border security arrangements to promote deterrence in bad faith. The Revised Draft Declaration on International Solidarity provides a framework to correct the misunderstanding of solidarity with the EU Pact. In her address to the IIEA, Professor Bailliet presents the elements of an international solidarity human-focused asylum mechanism that ensures non-discrimination, provides access to justice, calls for a reversal of externalisation and keeps the best interests of the child at its core. About the Speaker: Professor Dr. jur. Cecilia M. Bailliet is the UN Independent Expert on Human Rights and International Solidarity and Director of the Masters Programme in International Law at the University of Oslo. She supported the creation of an International Solidarity Map: Solidarity Actions Around the World. She is Co-Chair of the Latin America Interest Group of the American Society of International Law. Prof Bailliet holds a combined J.D./M.A. (honours) degree from The George Washington University Law School & Elliott School of International Affairs. She received her Doctorate in law from the University of Oslo in Norway. Prof Bailliet has published extensively on transnational and cross-disciplinary issues within international law including general public international law, human rights, refugee law, constitutional law, counter-terrorism, gender/women's rights, solidarity, and peace. Prof Bailliet's books include:  Research Handbook on International Solidarity and the Law (2024), The Construction of the Customary Law of Peace: Latin America and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (2021), and The Research Handbook on International Law and Peace (2019). She has also contributed lectures to the UN AudioVisual Library of International Law.

Solar energy company Lodestone is expanding to the South Island. It's constructing a solar farm in Canterbury's Clandeboye, with first generation expected next year. It will generate 43 gigawatt hours of renewable electricity annually, similar to the company's sites in the Upper North Island. Managing Director Gary Holden told Mike Hosking there are six more consented sites in their portfolio. He says they're trying to build a solar farm in every area they can, to follow the populations.

What if the key to transforming your school culture is as simple as celebration and storytelling? In this energetic episode of Aspire to Lead, Josh Tovar, veteran principal and host of the Para #Ganas Podcast, joins me to share how his relentless positivity, powerful use of social media, and commitment to daily recognition have redefined leadership on his campus. We dive into practical ways administrators can build a culture of belonging, why telling your school's story matters, and how leaders can maintain joy and longevity in a demanding profession. Whether you're feeling the weight of burnout or looking to bring fresh energy to your school community, Josh brings the passion and purpose to reignite your why. About Josh Tovar: Josh Tovar, a proud son of Virginia and Jesus Tovar, was born in Cd. Juarez, Mexico, and immigrated with his family to El Paso, Texas in the late 70s. After challenging years in high school, he joined the US Marine Corps as an 0811 artilleryman. His military service allowed him to serve his country while attending UTEP, where he earned a degree in History and a Minor in Education. As a public educator, Josh has worked at 13 schools, from elementary to university level. He holds a Masters in School Counseling and Administration from Sul Ross State University, as well as a Masters in History from UTEP. Currently, he serves as the Principal at Memorial Pathway Academy in Garland ISD, Texas.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of commodity trading with Stephane Bernhard, CEO/CIO of CAM Multi-Strat Asset Management. Drawing from his 30+ years of experience starting at Louis Dreyfus through commodity trading house ETG, Stephane shares how commodity trading has evolved from pure fundamental analysis to today's complex intersection of physical, financial, and systematic trading.The conversation explores the world of commodity houses and physical trading of commodities, before diving into CAM's unique approach to building a commodity-focused multi-strategy fund that bridges physical and financial markets. Stephane details their innovative risk management framework that gives commodity traders more flexibility than traditional pod shops while maintaining portfolio stability. You'll hear why VAR doesn't work for commodity risk management and how they've developed an anti-fragile approach to drawdown management.Throughout the discussion, Stephane weaves in fascinating historical perspective - from his early days in the Madrid sovereign debt crisis to parallels between the end of Bretton Woods and today's shifting monetary landscape.

We should move away from this idea that childhood should be filled with innocence, safe from the knowledge of difficult things argues Critical Cultural Theorist of Childhood Julie Garlen. Kids do experience difficulty, even in the best of circumstances, and she suggests they need the tools and language to navigate the lives they are living. Constructing childhood as a time of innocence limits children's opportunities for growth and learning.

In 1980, Michelle Smith published a book that triggered the Satanic Panic, a worldwide fear that Satan worshippers were recruiting millions to embrace satanism.  Today, I explore the surprising science of false memories with Dr. Charan Ranganath, author of Why We Remember. Dr. Ranganath reveals how memory is more imagination than recollection, why some people vividly remember things that never happened, and why the Satanic Panic was based on fiction not fact.  You'll learn: How Michelle Remembers sparked the Satanic Panic and shaped public fear. Why memories “recovered” in therapy can feel real but be completely false. How a memory expert misremembered her own mother's death. The shocking study where 40% of participants believed they committed a crime they never did. ---- Download the Reading List: https://nudge.kit.com/readinglist Sign up to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ Charan's book Why We Remember: https://charanranganath.com/ ---- Sources: 60 Minutes Australia.

You are only as healthy as the environment you live in. From mold exposure to volatile organic compounds to electromagnetic radiation, the list of exposures that our body has to process is extensive. Holding a triple certification from the Building Biology Institute, Brian Johnson is cahgnign the way that we think about home construction.

Allen Greene is the Senior Design Director at Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. With a background in theme park design and experience working at Kings Island and with firms like Jack Rouse Associates, Allen brings a wealth of expertise in immersive storytelling and attraction development. The Ark Encounter, a life-size recreation of Noah's Ark in Williamstown, Kentucky, and the Creation Museum, located 45 minutes away, are part of Answers in Genesis, an organization dedicated to faith-based educational experiences. In this interview, Allen talks about building the ark, designing through the lens of the guest, and faith-based attractions. Building the Ark “It was a unique goal for our team to try to recreate as real as possible Noah's Ark, but also in such a way that it's a themed experience that anybody can walk into.” Constructing the Ark Encounter was a massive undertaking that combined biblical history with modern building techniques. The Ark itself is the largest timber-frame structure in the world, standing at 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet tall. Allen describes the meticulous planning process, including consulting with shipbuilding experts and using standing-dead Engelmann spruce harvested from Utah. The project required a balance between authenticity and modern guest expectations, incorporating accessibility features such as elevators and ramps while maintaining the look and feel of an ancient ship. The design team worked in parallel with fabricators to build immersive exhibits inside the Ark, ensuring that guests could engage with the story of Noah in a meaningful way. Designing Through the Lens of the Guest “Having a frontline exposure, and seeing what guests naturally do, the questions they ask, the desires they have, that comes into the designs that we think about every day.” Allen's early career in ride operations at Kings Island helped shape his approach to attraction design, giving him first hand insight into guest behavior and operational challenges. This experience influences his design philosophy at Ark Encounter, where guest flow and storytelling are seamlessly integrated. The Ark's three decks follow a structured narrative—preparing for the flood, life on the Ark, and life after the flood—providing a mix of immersive sets, historical exhibits, and interactive displays. Balancing thematic integrity with practical functionality, the team ensures that guests not only experience the story but also navigate the attraction comfortably. By continuously evaluating guest feedback and operational pain points, the team refines exhibits and pathways to enhance the visitor experience. Faith-Based Attractions “What we're trying to create is more than just a fun day at a park. It's more than just escapism. We want people to experience an encounter, not just with the Ark, but with God.” Faith-based attractions like Ark Encounter differ from traditional theme parks in that they strive to provide a deeper, more meaningful experience for visitors. Allen explains how their mission extends beyond a single visit, offering resources such as books, educational programs, and Vacation Bible School materials to help guests continue their journey at home. He also acknowledges the challenges of catering to a specific audience while maintaining an inclusive environment where all visitors, regardless of faith, feel welcome. The team aims to balance entertainment and education, using modern tools like virtual reality to bring biblical stories to life in new and engaging ways. The demand for wholesome, family-friendly attractions continues to grow, and Ark Encounter seeks to meet that need by providing a space where guests can both enjoy and reflect.   For more information about the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, and upcoming events like Spark at the Ark, visit arkencounter.com, creationmuseum.org, or answersingenesis.org.

The main objective of Re-Constructing Grassroots Holocaust Memory: The Case of the North Caucasus (de Gruyter, 2020) is to locate the grass roots initiatives of remembering the Holocaust victims in a particular region of Russia which has a very diverse ethnic structure and little presence of Jews at the same time. It aims to find out how such individual initiatives correspond to the official Russian hero-orientated concept of remembering the Second World war with almost no attention to the memory of war victims, including Holocaust victims. North Caucasus became the last address of thousands of Soviet Jews, both evacuees and locals. While there was almost no attention paid to the Holocaust victims in the official Soviet propaganda in the postwar period, local activists and historians together with the members of Jewish communities preserved Holocaust memory by installing small obelisks at the killing sites, writing novels and making documentaries, teaching about the Holocaust at schools and making small thematic exhibitions in the local and school museums. Individual types of grass roots activities in the region on remembering Holocaust victims are analyzed in each chapter of the book. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of **Cutting Deep into Horror**, where your hosts, Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi, shine a light on the darkest corners of horror cinema. This week, they're diving into the chilling 2017 film *It Comes at Night*, a psychological horror experience that explores themes of fear, paranoia, and the fragility of human relationships in the face of an unseen threat.As they set the stage for their discussion, Henrique and Rachael share their initial thoughts on the film, which was released by A24 during the rise of "elevated horror." They unpack the unique blend of psychological tension and existential dread that permeates this unsettling narrative. While the film portrayed a world ravaged by disease, it's more about the human condition than any monsters lurking in the shadows. The duo emphasizes the film's ability to keep viewers guessing about its true nature—there's no creature out there, just the deeply ingrained fear of the unknown.Delving deeper, Henrique and Rachael reflect on the pivotal opening scene, where we witness a family's harrowing decision to end the suffering of a loved one amidst a viral apocalypse. This gut-wrenching moment serves as a precursor to the psychological turmoil that follows, setting the tone for a film that constantly challenges perceptions of safety, trust, and survival. They discuss the dynamics within the family, particularly teenage Travis, whose emotional struggles and nightmares shape his journey as the story unfolds.As the episode progresses, the hosts dissect the film's characters, including Travis' relationship with his parents, Paul and Sarah. They highlight how the weight of survival and personal sacrifice alters family dynamics, leading to moments of tension and emotional distance. Rachael points out how Travis feels a disconnect from his father, as Paul is forced to make impossible decisions in the name of protection, leading to a realistic portrayal of parental sacrifice in dire circumstances.Throughout their analysis, Henrique and Rachael touch upon the various elements that contribute to the film's psychological horror—a labyrinth-like house, the ever-looming absence of light, and the omnipresent anxiety that escalates with every scene. The raw emotions depicted in the characters and the unsettling atmosphere successfully blur the lines between perceived safety and lurking danger. As they navigate the twists and turns of the plot, our hosts discuss the fateful arrival of Will and his family, whose introduction to the isolated household raises the stakes considerably. Constructing a fine balance between cooperation and mistrust, the families' interactions reveal the fragility of alliances when survival is on the line. This theme of distrust continues to build until the climactic confrontation, which leaves listeners reeling from the implications of human desperation.In the shocking conclusion, Rachael and Henrique articulate how the film culminates in a tragic fate that fully encapsulates its messages—what happens when fear takes over and the lengths people will go to, even to protect their own loved ones. Each character's development leads to harrowing decisions that escalate the conflict, rendering them spectators of their own downfall as trust evaporates in moments of crisis.In the aftermath of their emotional exploration of *It Comes at Night*, your hosts urge listeners to forge their own connections to this deeply emotional horror film. They end the episode by inviting fans to share their thoughts, theories, and recommendations for future episodes.
