CAPTION 1943 WAR EMERGENCY PIPELINEGlobal Diesel Shortage Spans Multiple ContinentsMichael Bernstam explains Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian refineries impact domestic Russian consumption rather than global markets because Moscow previously banned refined petroleum exports. The worldwide diesel crisis stems from losing 2.5 million barrels daily due to Middle Eastern supply disruptions, Strait of Hormuz closures, and pipeline attacks. With global refineries running at 96% to 98% capacity, facilities face severe quality mismatch issues because domestic shale crude yields less diesel than heavy Middle Eastern imports. Meanwhile, overall Russian oil production dropped by 1.5 million barrels per day. New United States congressional legislation permits potential 100% tariffs on purchasing nations. (1)
Partout sur le globe, des océans, des mers, des fleuves, des îles, des continents, des pays, des villes, des montagnes ou des déserts ont été nommés par des Européens, au gré des conquêtes, des explorations et des colonisations.Ainsi, la région de la Louisiane aux États-Unis fait référence au roi Louis XIV tandis que le Sagarmāthā, plus haut sommet terrestre, est plus connu sous le nom d'un arpenteur général des Indes, Georges Everest. Les plus majestueuses chutes d'Afrique ont reçu le nom d'une souveraine britannique, Victoria.Nommer les choses, les êtres, c'est déjà les posséder un peu.La décolonisation toponymique rebat les cartes dans bien des pays, un président américain martèle qu'il veut rebaptiser le golfe du Mexique en golfe d'Amérique… Les noms de lieux aux quatre coins du monde, c'est tout une histoire…… que nous raconte Nicolas Perrot, l'auteur de Comment l'Europe a nommé le monde (Riveneuve 2025).___

Jason Offutt, September 3rd, 2026-Thursday, 6 PM ET TOPIC: Chasing the World's Monsters: Over 150 Creatures and Cryptids from All Seven Continents Bio: Jason Offutt writes things, and sometimes stuff, but mostly books. He avoided going into the family business after college because journalism produced less hog manure than farming—at least for the most part. He is best known for his Chasing Monsters series, Chasing American Monsters, Chasing North American Monsters, and fall 2026's Chasing the World's Monsters, science fiction, such as his time and dimension hopping novel So You Had to Build a Time Machine, his end-of-the-world zombie novel Bad Day for the Apocalypse (a strange book that doesn't include zombies), and his award-winning horror duology The Girl in the Corn and The Boy From Two Worlds. Jason has won multiple awards for humor although his life-long quest to become the best humorist in his home state remains elusive because he's from Missouri and, you know, Mark Twain. Jason teaches university journalism, cooks for his family, plays Dungeons and Dragons, and will argue for the death of the exclamation point for the rest of his days. His biggest regret in life is that he didn't star in Leave It to Beaver, mainly because he hadn't been born.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Civilization VI, released in 2016, was a further evolution of the franchise that added interesting new features. We introduce it in this episode. Civilization VI Released in 2016, Civ VI is probably still the most played version of the game. Although there has been a general gap of 5-6 years between versions, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic slowed down many things. Since early 2025 we have had Civilization VII come out, but in my opinion it is still being tweaked and refined. In the meantime, Civilization VI is the game I play now when I play Civ. I've played all of them from the first, and put in many hours here. Since I now play Civ on Steam mostly, I have statistics! I played Civ V for a total of 769 hours, and so far I have played Civ VI for 689 hours, but since this is what I play for now I will probably exceed my Civ V hours pretty soon. BTW, I probably have well over 1000 hours on Civ II, which I think I have played the most, and certainly more than 3000 hours total over all all versions. I'm going to cover this without worrying too much about whether it is the base game or an expansion. Fact is, Firaxis have started moving to something more akin to a subscription model when they introduced the New Frontier Pass, which works very well when you are on Steam. The idea was that you bought this pass, and very few months got new content, and on Steam it would automatically be downloaded to your account. That is not to say that there weren't actual expansions, but since the last thing they released was this “pass”, i'm kind of wondering what they will do with Civ VII. In any case, let's take a look at this. Gameplay Again, you start with a tribe in 4000BC which founds your first city, and you immediately begin building units, exploring, researching, and developing your city. this is a time-tested mechanic that never changes. but there are some interesting changes that make this game fascinating. First, in the earlier versions of Civ you thought of yourself as playing a particular civ, which came with a particular leader. In different versions of Civ the name of the leader might change, like for France you might have Napoleon on some versions, or Joan of Arc in another, but in each case one civ gets one leader, so you tended to think of yourself as playing the nation. Rome might be Caesar in one version, Augustus in another, or Trajan in yet another. (Fun fact: Sid Meier says he always plays as Rome because it just feels right to him). In Civ VI this linkage is broken. One leader, Eleanor of Aquitaine, can be played as the Queen of England, or she can be played as the Queen of France. And each version has different abilities and strengths. If you want a fairly easy Culture victory, play her as Queen of France, and watch as other players' cities rebel and join your Empire because they admire you so much. Teddy Roosevelt also has two different manifestations, Rough Rider Teddy, and Big Stick Teddy, when you have all the expansions. China has two possible leaders, with different strengths: Qin Shi Huang, and Kublai Khan. And Kublai Khan can be either Chinese or Mongolian, with different strengths. So in Civ VI you don't think of what Civ you want to play, you think of which leader you want to play. Every leader comes with a Civilization Ability, a Unique Unit, and a Unique Infrastructure. These matter a lot. For example, take John Curtin, the leader of the Australian civilization. His Civilization Ability is called Land Down Under, and it gives him +3 Housing in coastalcities. Building a Pasture triggers a Culture Bomb, claiming surrounding tiles. Campus, Commercial Hub, Holy Site, and Theater Squaredistricts gain +1 to their yields in tiles with Charming Appeal, and +3 in tiles with Breathtaking Appeal. Then his Unique Unit is the Digger, a melee military unit that replaces the Infantry unit. And his Unique Infrastructure is tile improvement called the Outback Station. This gives you increased food, production, and housing, some of which varies according to what is on surrounding tiles. The point is that each leader gives you very specific advantages that you should play to. In Civ VI it is even more important to tailor your strategy to the particular leader. Leaders like Frederic Barbarossa or Simon Bolivar are very good for Domination, while Peter the Great and Saladin are very good for Religious victories. If you take a random leader be ready to adapt your play style and strategy to fit, or alternatively decide what kind of victory you want to achieve and pick a leader who is good at it. Or if you want a real challenge, pick a leader who is not suited to the victory condition you are aiming at. But keep in mind that the game may take you in places you didn't expect. One game I picked Wilfrid Laurier of Canada, who is ideal for Diplomatic and Cultural victories, and I thought I would be going for a Cultural victory. But Wilfrid's strengths come from his advantages on Tundra land tiles, and I somehow managed to spawn in the middle of the map with no Tundra tiles at all in my empire. I had work hard to manage a Science victory in that case. Districts This is a major change in Civ. In earlier versions you built buildings inside of cities, and you tended to build the same buildings in most or all cities. You were only limited by your ability to generate Production to get them done. Civ VI is different. You have to place Districts on specific tiles, and and you can then develop the district with added buildings. If you want to develop your industry, you can place an Industrial Zone, and then add a Workshop, then a Factory, then a Power plant, and so on, each one increasing your Production. For Science you place down a Campus District, then a Library, then a University, then a Research Lab. And the game mechanic means you cannot built everything in every city. You can place one district at the start, then one more when your city reaches a population of 4, then a third one when you reach 7, and so on with each added population of three allowing one more district. The point is to force you to make choices. Districts get adjacency bonuses which increase their output. The Campus (generates Science) and the Holy Site (generates Faith) both benefit from adjacent Mountains, and the effect is additive. So if you find a tile with three mountains around it, you will want to place one of these districts there. Districts also get adjacency bonuses from other districts, so the planning the layout of your cities is really important to maximize these bonuses. And they can get bonuses even with adjacent Districts that belong to a different city! Another key district is the Encampment, which let you build better, more veteran military units. Since building units requires Production, you should build build an Encampment in a city which has a lot of Production, and that probably means one with an Industrial Zone. A Harbor District would go in a city with coastal tiles, of course. All of this requires planning. Expert players will usually start out by exploring to see what the map looks like around them, what terrain features they have to work with, what resources are available, and so on. Then, around turn ten they will plan out their next cities, and figure out where they want to place districts and so on. There is a built-in “map pin” system for this, and it can be improved by installing the right mod. While you don't have to do this, it does help you to be successful. Maps and Terrain Terrain features matter a lot in this game. We already mentioned adjacency bonuses of Mountains for Holy Sites and Campuses, but there is much more. The map is divided into Continents, and it is quite normal for a contiguous land mass to contain two or more continents if it is large enough. Think of how Europe and Asia are really just one large land mass to see what I mean. This matters because certain units may defend differently depending on which continent they are on, or some civilizations may be affected from having cities on a different continent. Terrain features like Rivers are extremely important for the placement of cities because they provide fresh water. You can sometimes get around that by building an Aqueduct to bring water from a Lake or a Mountain, but that means using up one of your city tiles, and spending production to build it. If you can place your city on a river you can avoid that problem and get off to a fast start. But the downside is that rivers can flood, and that can wreck your improvements. A big idea for terrain is Appeal. Each tile has an Appeal level ranging from Disgusting to Breathtaking, and it is determined by a combination of the tile's features themselves and by adjacencies. The modifiers are added together to determine the Appeal level of the tile, and there is a lens you use to view your Appeal levels on all tiles, which are color coded. This matters particularly if you are trying for a Culture victory. Culture victories are own by generating Tourism, and while some that can come from things like Museums and Wonders, you will really want to maximize your Tourism to win this game, and two good ways to do that are building National Parks and Seaside Resorts. You can only do that if the appeal is at least Charming (or even better, Breathtaking). If you find you cannot build them in what seems like a good spot, chances are Appeal is the problem. So check that out. You can, for instance, remove marshes (which give negative appeal), and plant forests (which add appeal), and that might be all it takes to get these going. The underlying issue in managing your cities is that you only have so many tiles, and a tile that might be great for a farm might also be great for a District. You need food to grow, and you need to grow to put down Districts, so you are always making choices about this, and that is what makes this a great strategy game.

The international broadcasts of Czechoslovak Radio were never just a one-way stream of news and music disappearing into the airwaves. From the very beginning, they formed a vibrant dialogue between Prague and the rest of the world. Thousands of letters each day, enthusiastic listeners in Africa and Latin America, remote listener clubs in Cuba, and Czechoslovak sailors in the middle of the ocean all found comfort, inspiration and a connection to another world through broadcasts from home. The following story takes you on a fascinating journey through the decades, brought to life by the memories of those who were there.
We've finally arrived at the conclusion of The Gay Science. The theme of these final sections is perspectivism - we have opened up a "new infinite", penetrating beyond narrow, limited views of the world that have always made grand claims to universalism but have only ever trapped us in dogmatic certainties. Nietzsche sums up his new affirmative attitude as a quest for "the great health", which one does not possess, but must continually give up. This great health has for its image a kind of abundant playfulness that is both human and superhuman. By making all that was once sacred and serious into our playthings, the true seriousness can begin. We conclude with a reading of one of Nietzsche's "songs".

Seven strangers from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, and South America, each transformed by the hope found in Isaiah's promise, receive mysterious invitations to an international summit in Geneva. When a sudden crisis plunges the city into fear, they unite, sharing God's Word in different languages and inspiring courage among hundreds of people. Afterward, they discover a mysterious notebook urging them to pass hope to others. Years later, following Eleanor's peaceful passing, they realize hope is a legacy, not a destination. As a young girl writes her name in the notebook, the journey of faith, courage, and hope begins anew.

From a remote dairy farm in New Zealand to the most feared kitchens in the world, this week we're joined by one of the greatest chefs you've probably never heard enough about. Josh Emett spent over a decade as Gordon Ramsay's right-hand man, helping lead Michelin-starred restaurants across London, New York, LA and beyond before returning home to build one of New Zealand's most celebrated restaurant groups.Josh takes us inside the reality of life at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay during its golden era, working alongside chefs like Paul Ainsworth and James Knappett, the pressure of chasing Michelin stars, opening iconic restaurants like The Savoy Grill, and the brutal kitchen culture that shaped him. He also shares incredible stories from New York, including running Gordon's restaurants through union disputes, launching Michelin-starred kitchens in America and why working for Ramsay was equal parts terrifying and exhilarating.We also dive into what life looks like after leaving one of the biggest names in hospitality. Josh explains how he built a thriving restaurant empire in New Zealand, why he's rethinking how hospitality businesses should be run, and the financial model that's transforming staff culture. Plus, we hear about cooking with Gwyneth Paltrow at her house, judging MasterChef New Zealand, and why Michelin finally arriving in New Zealand is such a landmark moment.BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE ON MONDAY 27TH JULY - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/go-to-food-podcast-live-with-chef-adam-byatt-tickets-1992111901323?aff=oddtdtcreatorYou can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

In today's conversation Dr. Greg explores the decision he and his sixteen-year-old daughter Ingrid made to attempt seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. He shares how persistent injuries led them to stop, recover, and rebuild their health from the ground up before they were ready to begin endurance training again. The episode traces the project from a series of small rehabilitation sessions to a potential Guinness World Record attempt, while introducing the Great World Race as a living exploration of human physiology, adaptation, and possibility. The event is scheduled for November 15–21, 2026, beginning at Wolf's Fang in Antarctica and finishing in Miami.

A gigantic cigar-shaped craft shadowed a NATO airliner over the Atlantic in 1963, the same year similar motherships appeared over Australia, Canada, and the skies of a Britain overrun by headless creatures and desecrated churches.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/1963DarkForcesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p87kmstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” is spotted over the Atlantic in 1963, but the witness is so terrified by her experiences that it takes her twenty years to come forward to tell her story.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 05, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness opens over the north Atlantic in May 1963, where a NATO English-language secretary based in Paris, flying on a near-empty DC-8 carrying fifty staff from Orly Airport to ministerial meetings in Ottawa, looked from her window and saw a dark grey, torpedo-shaped object six to seven thousand feet below the plane — its rear cut off sharply and squarely, with no wings, windows, or visible propulsion — before it vanished into cloud and the aircraft dropped into violent turbulence. Terrified and certain no one else aboard had noticed, she said nothing for almost twenty years, until a 1980 letter to Flying Saucer Review brought the account to light and the magazine published it the following year. The segment threads her sighting into a longer record of cigar-shaped craft: Melvin Vagle Jr. and his wife spotting a windowed object hovering over a plowed field near Grafton, Nebraska on November 22, 1961; Miss Footner tracking a silver, hundred-foot craft over Saanich Mountain near Victoria, British Columbia in early 1960; Reverend Lionel Browning and his wife photographing a grey mothership over Cressy, Tasmania on October 4, 1960 as smaller discs darted out of the clouds and explosions later shook nearby houses; RCMP Constable James Blackwood watching a cigar-shaped object near Clarenville, Newfoundland on November 26, 1978 mirror his patrol car's flashing lights for nearly two hours; a couple camping at Hexham, New South Wales in late December 1984 seeing discs swarm a lit craft that seemed to carry a helmeted figure; and an anonymous Swedish driver on Route 55 near Orsundsbro in June 1985 stepping out of her car to study a windowed craft she first mistook for a police helicopter.From there the episode crosses to England, where the night of November 16, 1963 brought four teenagers walking home from a dance past Sandling Park near Hythe, Kent face to face with a human-sized, headless creature with wings on its back; seventeen-year-old John Flaxton and eighteen-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson had first watched a bright gold oval descend behind the trees, and Flaxton felt a sudden, unexplained cold as the thing came at them through the woodland. The same evening in Saltwood, Tony Harrison and three companions saw a glowing oval and a figure in a scarlet cloak holding a flickering lantern, and within days John McGoldrick discovered three giant footprints, each roughly two feet long, near the spot where Keith Croucher had reported an identical object over a football field. The story then opens out into a year-long British wave: a flying saucer interfering with a woman's car headlights near Bluebell Hill in Kent; two men setting up a tripod that fired colored lights into the sky over the Britannia Barracks in Norwich; a market researcher named Joelle in Castleton encountering men who claimed to be extraterrestrials with bases on two of Jupiter's moons; and a dome-shaped craft that reportedly landed at RAF Cosford on December 10, washing the base in green light before vanishing. Stranger creatures shared the year — the Surrey Puma and other big cats stalking Shooter's Hill in London from July 18, a half-man, half-horse centaur seen in Sefton Park by witnesses including a police officer, a bulldog-headed monster rising beside two fishermen on Loch Ness, and a dinosaur-like animal that scattered seals along Cardigan Bay and left a half-eaten carcass behind. The episode closes on a darker thread of occult activity: two children found playing with a human skull taken from the ruined St. Mary's Church at Clophill in Bedfordshire, where Maltese crosses, cockerel feathers, and six tampered women's graves were uncovered; six decapitated horse heads and a cow, their jaws wrenched apart, discovered in Bluebell Woods at Caddington; clay effigies pierced with thorns and a sheep's head studded with thirteen thorns nailed up at Castle Rising in Norfolk; and a group of self-styled Devil worshippers interrupted mid-ritual at an active church in Westham, Sussex on December 7 — all set against a 1963 that began with one of the worst winters on record, claimed Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell and the poet Sylvia Plath, saw Ian Brady and Myra Hindley begin the Moors murders, and ended weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy.
While the world focused on CIA operations against Havana, Cuba was quietly building one of the Western Hemisphere's most battle-hardened and least understood special operations units, the Avispas Negras, a force that cut its teeth in Angola, refined its tradecraft across decades of economic isolation, and recently demonstrated its reach during high-stakes operations in Venezuela in ways that caught Western intelligence analysts off guard. Trained by multiple foreign intelligence services, operating in compact five-person cells that minimize exposure and maximize deniability, and equipped with locally modified Soviet-era systems that are harder to attribute and track than Western hardware, the Black Wasps represent exactly the kind of asymmetric intelligence and direct action capability that thrives in the gaps between what adversaries expect and what they actually find. This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most underreported special operations forces in the world, examining how Cuba built a ghost force capable of projecting power far beyond what its GDP and geopolitical footprint would suggest possible.
Imagine if all the oceans suddenly vanished—could you just walk to other continents? Well, without water, you'd see giant valleys and rugged, rocky plains that were once the ocean floor, connecting places like North America to Asia! But getting across wouldn't be a smooth stroll; the ocean bed is full of deep trenches, towering ridges, and endless mud that would make travel nearly impossible. Plus, with no oceans, Earth's temperature would soar, turning these dried-out areas into scorching deserts. You'd face wild challenges like sandstorms, lack of food, and barely any fresh water to survive. So, technically, continents would be connected—but it'd be an extreme journey only the toughest explorers could handle! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Story Transcript:Da: Vandet i kanalen glitrede svagt i forårssolen.En: The water in the canal glimmered faintly in the spring sun.Da: De farverige bygninger langs Københavns havnefront stod klare og smukke, men Sofie kunne ikke nyde udsigten.En: The colorful buildings along Københavns waterfront stood clear and beautiful, but Sofie couldn't enjoy the view.Da: Hun stod ved rælingen, hendes tanker et virvar af bekymringer.En: She stood by the railing, her thoughts a jumble of worries.Da: Den nylige diagnose havde overvældet hende.En: The recent diagnosis had overwhelmed her.Da: Kronisk, sagde lægen, og ordene havde hængt i luften som en tung sky.En: Chronic, said the doctor, and the words had hung in the air like a heavy cloud.Da: Hun tænkte på Lukas.En: She thought about Lukas.Da: De havde mødtes under hendes sidste besøg i hans land.En: They had met during her last visit to his country.Da: Nu, tilbage i Danmark, prøvede de at holde liv i forholdet på tværs af kontinenter.En: Now, back in Danmark, they tried to keep the relationship alive across continents.Da: Sofie ønskede ikke at være en byrde.En: Sofie didn't want to be a burden.Da: Hun ville ikke, at hendes sygdom skulle ændre noget mellem dem.En: She didn't want her illness to change anything between them.Da: Telefonen i hendes hånd vibrerede.En: The phone in her hand vibrated.Da: En besked fra Lukas.En: A message from Lukas.Da: Han lød altid så positiv.En: He always sounded so positive.Da: Han ville gerne høre, hvordan hun havde det, spurgte, hvad der nyt.En: He wanted to know how she was doing, asked about what's new.Da: Sofie tog en dyb indånding og svarede, at alt var fint.En: Sofie took a deep breath and replied that everything was fine.Da: Men var det det?En: But was it?Da: Dagene gik, og Sofie kæmpede med at skjule sine symptomer.En: The days passed, and Sofie struggled to hide her symptoms.Da: Træthed, smerter.En: Fatigue, pain.Da: Hun ignorerede dem, smilte og gik på arbejde, mødtes med venner.En: She ignored them, smiled and went to work, met with friends.Da: Hendes forestilling om normalitet var sprød som glas – skrøbelig og let ødelagt.En: Her facade of normality was as brittle as glass—fragile and easily shattered.Da: En aften efter arbejde gik hun tilbage til kanalen.En: One evening after work, she returned to the canal.Da: Mennesker gik forbi, nogle cyklede, andre nød en is fra en af de mange kiosker.En: People passed by, some cycled, others enjoyed an ice cream from one of the many kiosks.Da: Sofie standsede på sin sædvanlige plads ved vandet.En: Sofie stopped at her usual spot by the water.Da: Pludselig hørte hun en velkendt stemme.En: Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.Da: "Sofie!"En: "Sofie!"Da: Det var Lukas!En: It was Lukas!Da: Han stod der, smilende, med åbne arme.En: He stood there, smiling, with open arms.Da: "Overraskelse!"En: "Surprise!"Da: sagde han.En: he said.Da: Sofie mærkede tusind følelser på én gang: glæde, lettelse, frygt.En: Sofie felt a thousand emotions at once: joy, relief, fear.Da: Hvordan skulle hun forklare alt?En: How was she to explain everything?Da: De satte sig på en bænk, køligt vinden kærtegnede deres kroppe.En: They sat on a bench, the cool breeze caressing their bodies.Da: Lukas tog hendes hånd.En: Lukas took her hand.Da: "Jeg har tænkt på dig," sagde han stille.En: "I've been thinking about you," he said quietly.Da: "Fortæl mig, hvad der sker."En: "Tell me what's going on."Da: Sofies øjne fyldtes med tårer.En: Sofie's eyes filled with tears.Da: Hun kunne ikke længere gemme sandheden.En: She could no longer hide the truth.Da: "Lukas," begyndte hun tøvende, "jeg har en kronisk sygdom.En: "Lukas," she began hesitantly, "I have a chronic illness.Da: Jeg har været så bange for at fortælle det."En: I've been so afraid to tell you."Da: Lukas så dybt ind i hendes øjne.En: Lukas looked deeply into her eyes.Da: "Jeg vil gerne være hos dig.En: "I want to be with you.Da: Vi kan finde ud af det

Written by Will LochamyPlayed by Reed Lochamy and Greg YaghmaiFor most rounds, there are three questions, and you rank your answers, assigning point values of 5, 3, and 1 each round, depending on your level of confidence. The one you feel best about is your 5-point answer, the one you're just guessing on is your 1-point answer. (For any rounds where the points don't work this way, we'll discuss that during the game.)If you feel certain that you know the answer to all three questions in a typical round, then instead of assigning points of 5, 3 and 1, you can go for 11 points. If you do that and you answer all three questions correctly, you get 11 points (instead of 9). However, if you do that and you miss just one question, you get a 0 for the round.The bonus round question has five possible answers. You get 3 points for every correct answer you submit. Like with going for 11 in typical rounds, though, you can choose to go for 20 in the bonus round (but doing so is risky in the same way that going for 11 in typical rounds is).Have questions about the game or how it works?

Bright geometric shapes make the graffiti work of Kenyan artist Wise Two really stand out. Michael Kaloki tracks how his bold style is evolving as he travels to Mexico where. he says, street art is more widely accepted than in Nairobi, a city where he tends to paint murals in densely populated districts like Kibera and Jericho. On this trip to Mexico, Wise Two has started using a more varied colour palette and not just the traditional primary colours of Maasai masks he was known for. He is also using gold leaf on smaller canvases and abstract shapes on a tricky commission to paint cylindrical air-conditioning vents, not the usual flat surface which graffiti artists decorate. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.
