Podcasts about Copenhagen

Renowned Danish chef Trine Hahnemann tells Sahar Zand how she combines the concept of hygge with her cooking. Hygge is a word that is embedded in the Danish language. It's about relaxing and taking time away from the daily rush to enjoy life's quieter pleasures. And yet, Trine finds the time to write cookery books (over 20 so far), and run cookery lessons from the kitchen in her family home in Copenhagen. She tells Sahar how she does it, as she prepares a comforting meal of freshly harvested vegetables, and explains how she started her culinary career by cooking for rock stars on tour, including Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Rolling Stones and Elton John.

Today's guest is Marie Frank—a recipe developer and pastry chef based outside of Copenhagen. She's also the creator of the Substack newsletter “More Than Sweet,” and the author of the new book, “More Than Sweet: Desserts with Flavor,” which features elevated recipes for cakes, cookies, frozen desserts, custards, tarts, and more. Marie joins host Jessie Sheehan to share how she became fascinated with complex flavors in desserts, despite not having a sweet tooth, and how an online baking community helped her develop pastry skills while she was at home on maternity leave.  Marie also walks Jessie through her Brunsviger recipe from her book. It's a traditional Danish yeasted cake topped with a gooey brown sugar caramel—Marie describes it as the love child of a sticky bun and focaccia. Her version gets a flavorful twist with roasted grapes and rosemary, and she explains why this cake is especially delicious with ice cream.

the Amalfi-coast, casting a warm glow on the colorful cliffs.Da: Havet glimtede klart og blåligt, mens duften af citronblomster fyldte luften.En: The sea glittered clear and blue, while the scent of lemon blossoms filled the air.Da: Soren stod på en smal sti, der snoede sig langs kysten, og ventede på Astrid.En: Soren stood on a narrow path that wound along the coast, waiting for Astrid.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigt.En: His heart was pounding quickly.Da: Dette var øjeblikket, han havde ventet på.En: This was the moment he had been waiting for.Da: Astrid kom gående mod ham, hendes krøllede hår glimtede i solens stråler.En: Astrid walked toward him, her curly hair glistening in the sun's rays.Da: Hun havde en nervøsitet i øjnene, som Soren misforstod som glæde ved gensynet.En: There was a nervousness in her eyes, which Soren misunderstood as joy at the reunion.Da: Men inde i hende brændte hemmeligheden, som hun bar på.En: But inside her burned the secret she carried.Da: Hun var nødt til at fortælle ham det, men hvordan?En: She needed to tell him, but how?Da: Soren smilede, da hun nåede frem til ham, og tog hendes hænder i sine.En: Soren smiled as she reached him, and took her hands in his.Da: "Dette sted er fantastisk, Astrid," sagde han og pegede ud mod horisonten, hvor solen snart skulle gå ned.En: "This place is amazing, Astrid," he said, pointing out toward the horizon, where the sun would soon set.Da: "Jeg har tænkt meget over os."En: "I've been thinking a lot about us."Da: Astrid nikkede, men kunne ikke lade være med at se væk.En: Astrid nodded but couldn't help looking away.Da: Hjertet tungt af det, hun måtte dele.En: Her heart was heavy with what she needed to share.Da: Hendes seneste rejse som journalist havde ført hende til noget uventet.En: Her latest journey as a journalist had led her to something unexpected.Da: Noget, der kunne forandre alt.En: Something that could change everything.Da: Soren tog mod til sig og gik ned på knæ.En: Soren gathered his courage and got down on one knee.Da: "Astrid, du er mit livs kærlighed.En: "Astrid, you are the love of my life.Da: Vil du gifte dig med mig?"En: Will you marry me?"Da: Hans stemme

påvirke os."En: Something that could affect us."Da: Soren så undrende op på hende, hans hjerte begyndte at slå hurtigere nu.En: Soren looked up at her in wonder, his heart beginning to beat faster now.Da: "Hvad mener du?"En: "What do you mean?"Da: "Jeg opdagede noget om en bygning i København," hun fortsatte.En: "I discovered something about a building in Copenhagen," she continued.Da: "Den har

ikke, og jeg skal offentliggøre det.En: "The investors don't know, and I need to make it public.Da: Jeg kan ikke holde det skjult."En: I can't keep it hidden."Da: Soren rejste sig langsomt op, hans sind en storm af tanker.En: Soren slowly stood up, his mind a storm of thoughts.Da: "Astrid, hvorfor fortalte du mig det ikke før?"En: "Astrid, why didn't you tell me before?"Da: spurgte han, skuffelsen i hans øjne.En: he asked, the disappointment in his eyes.Da: Astrid tog hans hænder igen.En: Astrid took his hands again.Da: "Jeg var bange for at skade dig, at miste dig.En: "I was afraid of hurting you, of losing you.Da: Men jeg vil heller ikke holde hemmeligheder."En: But I also won't keep secrets."Da: De stod dér i stilhed, kun brudt af bølgernes blide hvisken.En: They stood there in silence, only broken by the gentle whispering of the waves.Da: Så, efter hvad der føltes som en evighed, trak Soren hende ind til sig i en varm omfavnelse.En: Then, after what felt like an

“By the time we get there, I don't think we'll leave any stone unturned for the first one. There's still room to grow, but I do think I'll be very ready.”My guest for today's episode is Emma Grace Hurley: an ASICS athlete and one of the most consistent American road racers of the last two years. She trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis, and in 2026 she has already set the American Record at 8K (24:29 at the Shamrock Shuffle), won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, won the 25K title at the Gate River Run and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city, running 15:00 flat to miss the sub-15 barrier by four-tenths of a second.She is also, as of this week, officially confirmed as one of the scoring members of the U.S. half marathon team for Copenhagen — one of the three athletes who were misdirected in the closing mile of the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March. World Athletics granted a special exception that will allow seven American women to compete, with Jess McClain, Emma Grace, and Ednah Kurgat as the scoring athletes alongside Weini Kelati. The top three official finishers — Molly Born, Carrie Ellwood, and Annie Rodenfels — will make their international debuts as non-scoring athletes.What makes Emma Grace one of the more interesting stories in American distance running right now is the shape of her career. She graduated from Furman in 2020 with a 15:57 5K personal best, quit running entirely, took a client associate job at JP Morgan, and did not think she was coming back to the sport. She is now a 15:00 road 5K runner, an 8K American record holder, a national 10-mile champion, and a two-event Worlds qualifier. She has not run a marathon yet — it's happening this fall.In this conversation, recorded in Brooklyn, we get into all of it: what it actually took to bounce back after Atlanta and immediately set a national record three weeks later, why she doesn't love the track but is a 15-flat road 5K runner, the Cherry Blossom 10-mile where she lost the overall by one second to a woman who finished seventh in the 10,000m at the Tokyo Olympics, the moment she finally felt like the long slow build was paying off, and what scares her most about the marathon block ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠Guest: Emma Grace Hurley | @emmagracehurleyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

A two-year YouTube rabbit hole, a heart-tugging keynote in Norfolk, and one perfectly-timed introduction — that's the unlikely path that brought Cycling Without Age to Winchester. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down at Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury with Steve Policastro (founder of Cycling Without Age Winchester), Jeannie Shiley (Westminster-Canterbury's President & CEO), and Teresa Barton (Wellness Manager) to talk about the global nonprofit that's giving older adults the gift of wind in their hair — one slow trishaw ride at a time. The conversation unpacks how a Copenhagen-born movement (now in 40+ countries with 6,000 trishaws and over 5 million rides given) landed in Winchester through "big world, small town" timing, what the rides actually feel like, and the five principles — generosity, slowness, storytelling, relationships, and "without age" — that guide every chapter. Plus: how to become a pilot, how to support the push for a second trishaw that can serve the whole community, and where Janet's orange blanket fits into all of it.   ABOUT CYCLING WITHOUT AGE WINCHESTER A 501(c)(3) nonprofit chapter of the global Cycling Without Age movement (founded 2012 in Copenhagen). Free trishaw rides for older adults, powered entirely by volunteer pilots. Currently 15 trained pilots and one trishaw, partnered with Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury. Fundraising underway for a second trishaw to serve the broader Winchester community — downtown walking mall, museum trails, Jim Barnett Park, and beyond. HOW TO GET INVOLVED Become a pilot — if you can ride a bike, with practice you can pilot a trishaw  Donate or fundraise toward the second community trishaw  Spread the word — follow on Instagram and share the rides  Watch for an upcoming community fundraising event featuring the same documentary that inspired Westminster-Canterbury LINKS & RESOURCES • Cycling Without Age Winchester: cyclingwithoutage.com/winchester • Email: winchester@cyclingwithoutage.com • Instagram: @cyclingwithoutagewinchester • Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury: svwc.org • The global Cycling Without Age movement: cyclingwithoutage.org (Ole Kassow's TED Talk and the founding story) • Partner organizations referenced: Bike Walk Winchester, Winchester Wheelmen THE VALLEY TODAY with Janet Michael — A decade of conversations.

Nick the Rat Radio Episode 541 Scientists just confirmed it: a entire civilization built 35,000 stone monuments across Europe, dragged quartz boulders 60 miles to place them on fault lines with surgical precision — and then disappeared without a war, without a fire, without a single written word. No genetic trace in anyone alive today. A University of Copenhagen study dropped this year and barely anyone's talking about it. Nick the Rat is. Tonight we get into the piezoelectric grid theory, the Kyoto University solar flare research, and why a Neolithic infrastructure project might have cooked its own builders from the inside out. Plus mammoth bones that turned out to be a whale, a caller from inside a correctional facility, and Jane Hanoi reports from the Dark Sewer Network on Antarctic mole cities and alien dairy farmers who don't know what they're doing. #AncientCivilization #LostCivilization #Megaliths #Stonehenge #Carnac #AncientDNA #Conspiracy #NickTheRat #PiezoElectric #SolarStorm #UnexplainedHistory #AlternativeHistory #ConspiracyPodcast #UndergroundMedia #DarkSewerNetwork #sewerchat A paranoid rat discusses conspiracies, secret agendas, and things they don't want you to know — while playing hand-picked underground music.

Mihailo Vukojičić just ran 2:26 at the Copenhagen Marathon and he was 100kg and completely out of shape 3 years ago. Matt chats with Mihailo about weight loss, mindset, fueling, training, and chasing a national record.

Mihailo shares how he started running in 2022, ran his first half marathon in around 1:41-1:42 at 93kg, and later missed the Athens Marathon because his passport was stuck at the US Embassy. They discuss his simple weight loss approach, technique changes from heel striking to forefoot running, using a 130 BPM heart rate cap to build aerobic fitness, and his 2:47 first marathon in Berlin 2023. Mihailo also explains how his fueling evolved from minimal race intake to 110-120g of carbs per hour in Copenhagen, and how he handled an injury-disrupted buildup with variable weekly mileage while relying heavily on confidence, perceived effort, and belief over device metrics. The conversation also covers nutrition structure, the HEXIS app, legal supplements, lactate testing, HRV, training flexibility, doping debates, the Enhanced Games, WADA, and Mihailo's long-term goal of potentially reaching 2:13 and chasing a national record.

next.Da: Og det næste igen.En: And the next again.Da: Annika klappede opmuntrende, men det var tydeligt, at spillet ikke ville give sig let.En: Annika clapped encouragingly, but it was clear that the game wouldn't give in easily.Da: "Lars, måske skulle du...," begyndte Mikkel, men Lars afbrød.En: "Lars, maybe you should...," began Mikkel, but Lars interrupted.Da: "Bare lidt til, jeg kan mærke det!"En: "Just a little more, I can feel it!"Da: sagde Lars stædigt.En: said Lars stubbornly.Da: Efter en halv times fejlkast og små mislykkede forsøg tøvede Lars.En: After half an hour of missed throws and small failed attempts, Lars hesitated.Da: Han kunne se udfordringen.En: He could see the challenge.Da: Men hans ønske om at imponere Annika tog over.En: But his desire to impress Annika took over.Da: "Okay, Mikkel, hjælp mig," sagde Lars til sidst og så ham i øjnene.En: "Okay, Mikkel, help me," Lars finally said, looking him in the eyes.Da: "Hvad skal jeg gøre?"En: "What should I

Sound Transit is facing a $35 billion budget gap and the long-promised light rail extension to Ballard is at severe risk of being cut. Scott Kubly, former Director of Seattle's Department of Transportation, joins us to unpack how the region landed in this mess and shares a plan to cut costs and save the Ballard line.   The headline number is jaw-dropping: Sound Transit projects cost two to three times more than comparable transit built almost anywhere else on Earth. Why? Kubly walks us through the regulatory traps, the agency culture, and the political dysfunction that have made building anything in Seattle and most of urban America agonizingly slow and absurdly expensive. Kubly's solution for Seattle borrows from Copenhagen. The idea involves shorter trains, modular stations, and other fixes that could save $10 to $15 billion on the Ballard line alone and move more riders than the current plan. The question is whether anyone on the Sound Transit board is willing to listen.  Send us a text!

The world is racing at the minute, and let’s start with the biggest race of all. NextEra Energy, the largest utility in America by market value, is in talks to buy Dominion Energy of Virginia. The price? It’s about $76 a share, roughly $66 billion. With debt, the combined company would be valued at about $400 billion. That would make it the largest power deal on record. A mostly stock transaction, at least that’s what’s being reported, and a deal could come as soon as this week. Pretty shocking. Now, why does this matter to wind? NextEra is [00:01:00] not just a utility. It is one of the largest renewable energy developers on the planet. And Dominion sits on top of Northern Virginia’s data center alley, the biggest concentration of data centers in the country. Dominion expects its peak demand to double by the end of the twenty-thirties, American power consumption hit a second straight record in twenty-twenty-five, and it’s still climbing. So the company that builds more wind and solar than almost anyone wants to merge with the company that serves the hungriest grid in America. That is a race to the top. But down on the ground, developers are running a very different kind of race. Wind projects under construction in the United States are up 60% since the start of twenty-twenty-five. Solar is up about 50%. Why the surge? Well, the clock is ticking. Tax credits for wind and solar were gutted in the one big beautiful bill. Projects must begin construction by July 4th [00:02:00] and prove they are building continuously to qualify. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, those credits were supposed to phase out at the end of twenty-thirty-three. Now that deadline is just a couple of weeks away. Developers are pushing hard on projects that can make it and abandoning the ones that cannot. One solar executive put it plainly: “A lot of the projects are going to die on the vine.” And that’s a real shame. Labor is short. Of course, electricians are in demand. Transformer lead times have stretched to 18 months because data centers are buying them too. Even permits are hard to get. Projects that touch federal land, of course, that once took a month to approve are now waiting up to a year. So while NextEra races to buy the grid, developers are racing to build before the door shuts. Now, across the Atlantic, there’s a different kind of race going on. Chinese turbine manufacturer MingYang [00:03:00] Smart Energy is looking for a new home, and quick. Back in March, Britain blocked the company’s plans for a one-and-a-half billion pound factory in Scotland, mostly based on security grounds. MingYang’s European chief, Horatio Evers, says the company is now talking to Spain and scouting other locations on the continent. He says MingYang wants to build turbines in Europe with a European workforce. And this is the part I don’t understand, ’cause European workforce tend to be more expensive. However, uh, MingYang wants to build that factory, but there’s a condition. They need a guarantee that their turbines will be allowed into the market, and so far that hasn’t happened. The European Commission launched a review of Chinese manufacturers back in 2024. Those findings are still unpublished. So MingYang is racing to find a country willing to say “Yes.” Further east, Turkey is entering the offshore wind [00:04:00] race for the first time. The government has defined four areas along its western coast, all on the Aegean, for its first ever offshore wind tender. Turkey’s energy minister says Turkey aims for five gigawatts of offshore wind by 2035. The country has committed $30 billion to transmission infrastructure. And Turkey already has 15 gigawatts of onshore wind spinning today. Turkey is, of course, a NATO ally, and it straddles Europe and Asia, and now it’s stepping into offshore wind. And finally, up in the North Sea, off the coast of Norfolk, England, 75 miles from shore, Cadeler of Copenhagen just installed the first monopile foundation at Hornsea 3. When complete, Hornsea 3 will be the single largest offshore wind farm on the planet. 2.9 gigawatts, 197 foundations, enough power for 3.3 [00:05:00] million British homes. The project is owned by Danish giant Ørsted and will bring 5,000 construction jobs to the region. Hornsea 1 and 2 are already spinning, and of course, Hornsea 4 is on the drawing board. So here’s the picture. America’s two biggest utilities are racing toward a $400 billion merger. Developers are sprinting to break ground before the Fourth of July. A Chinese turbine maker is searching Europe for a factory, and Turkey is marking out its first offshore wind zones. And over in Britain, they just planted the first foundation at the world’s largest wind farm. Everyone is racing. The only question is, who gets there first? And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 18th of May, 2026. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast

The exchanges between the Chinese and US leaders on Thursday and Friday have provided much-needed strategic guidance for the future of China-US relations.The two sides agreed to build a "constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability". The "constructive strategic stability" means positive stability with cooperation as the mainstay, healthy stability with competition within proper limits, constant stability with manageable differences and lasting stability with expectable peace.The new vision for relations between the world's two largest economies indicates that both sides recognize the need to prevent confrontation and manage differences prudently. The Taiwan question remains the most important one among all the issues affecting bilateral ties. If it is handled properly, the Sino-US relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, China and the United States will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.Yet certain forces in Washington continue to treat the Taiwan question as a "card" they can play to maximize US gains while claiming they value peace and stability in the region. Moves such as arms sales, political collusion and military signaling send the wrong message to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces on the Chinese island. "Taiwan independence" and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water. The more external forces embolden separatist elements, the greater the risks to regional stability.The recent remarks made by the secessionist-minded leader of Taiwan, Lai Ching-te, via virtual link, at a so-called "democracy summit" in Copenhagen, once again exposed the separatist nature of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities. By attempting to portray his authorities as fighting for the "values" of the West, Lai sought external support for his separatist agenda while deliberately provoking cross-Strait tensions.The timing of Lai's remarks was particularly telling. They were delivered shortly before the US president's visit to Beijing.However, US President Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News aired on Friday, warned the Taiwan authorities against pursuing "independence" under the illusion of unconditional US backing."They have somebody there now that wants to go independent," he said. "They want to get into a war" because "they figure they have the US behind them".Trump poured cold water on that, saying he is not looking to fight a war thousands of miles away.Yet the US leader also described Taiwan in the interview as "a very good negotiating chip" in dealing with Beijing — a remark that reflects a transactional and exploitative approach to the Taiwan question.For China-US relations to achieve steady, sound and sustainable development, the stumbling block of "Taiwan independence" must be decisively removed. The US should recognize the true nature of "Taiwan independence" forces — as alterers of the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, disruptors of cross-Strait peace, and troublemakers in regional affairs.Policymakers in Washington need to realize that the historical trend of the national reunification of China is irresistible. They should demonstrate genuine respect for China's core interests and major concerns. Beijing has made it clear that the Taiwan question is a red line in China-US ties that cannot be crossed.The outcomes achieved during the latest China-US economic and trade consultations, held in the Republic of Korea on Wednesday, demonstrate once again that despite differences and competition, China and the US still share extensive common interests and broad space for cooperation.No one should underestimate the complexity of managing China-US relations. Competition will continue to exist. Differences will not disappear overnight. But what matters most is whether both sides can manage these differences rationally, avoid strategic miscalculation and uphold the broader interests of peace and development.China and the US have more common interests than differences. The US has much to gain from a healthy Sino-US relationship and much to lose from playing unilateral tricks, zero-sum games or the "Taiwan card".Only when both sides address each other's core concerns, and especially when the US handles the Taiwan question with due prudence, can they jointly turn the agreed vision for bilateral ties into reality.

We listen to an excellent new remaster of the legendary 2nd night in Copenhagen, of Led Zeppelin. They were warming up for the titanic Knebworth shows days later, and their playing is out of this world. 1973 level proficiency and clarity found in 1979. It's magic for many reasons and the improvements made in this remaster are substantial. I play Nobody's Fault, an INCREDIBLE No Quarter, and my favorite (imo the best) performance of Ten Years Gone, ever. Don't sleep on this one.

Our Head of Public Policy Research Ariana Salvatore goes through the main topics on the table during the meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi: Taiwan, tariffs and the Iran conflict.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of Public Policy Research for Morgan Stanley. Today, I'll be talking about expectations heading into the U.S.-China summit this week and what investors should be watching. It's Wednesday, May 13h at 11am in Copenhagen. Despite the importance of the upcoming summit, we think expectations for tangible progress should remain relatively modest. Reporting ahead of the meeting indicates that the discussions will focus on trade, Taiwan arms sales, and the U.S.-Iran conflict. Across the board, our base case remains an extension of the current truce with limited areas of relaxation. That's probably enough to support modest upside for risk assets in China, but likely short of the kind of breakthrough needed for a material re-rating in risk premia. Let's start with trade. We think the discussion here is likely to skew toward phase one style commitments rather than structural policy shifts. That could include additional Chinese purchases in sectors like agriculture and aerospace, or things like high-level trade and investment pledges. Or even limited tariff relief in key areas designed to demonstrate cooperation but without fundamentally changing the competitive dynamic between the two countries. What we don't expect is a meaningful unilateral tariff reduction from the U.S. side heading into the summit. Remember, China still faces an effective tariff rate of around 30 percent, and it benefited the most of all our trading partners when the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs earlier this year. As we noted at the time, that lowered its effective rate by roughly 7 percentage points. Secondly, we think the administration continues to view higher tariff levels on China versus other trading partners as a strategic imperative. Said differently, the administration appears committed to maintaining some degree of structural separation between China and other trading allies like Europe, Japan, and South Korea. We think that means a large-scale tariff reset is unlikely in the wake of the summit or in the lead up. On Taiwan, we also see limited room for meaningful policy change. President Trump has publicly referenced Taiwan arms sales in recent comments, but we think a major concession from China would be needed for a meaningful departure from many years of U.S. policy precedent. The third issue on the agenda is the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz. Reopening the strait is likely the area of greatest uncertainty heading into the summit. The extent to which the U.S. will ask for China's help on this front and whether or not that request will be granted remains a key unknown. But there's also a technology dimension here worth watching closely. While public reporting indicates that export controls are likely not formally part of the talks, we see a possibility that the discussion could occur, in particular in the context of rare earth relaxations from China's side. Concessions on rare earth controls likely require some corresponding U.S. flexibility on advanced semiconductor exports, given the chips for rare earths equilibrium that we think underpins the strategic bilateral relationship. We think that's largely what's disincentivized both sides from escalating in recent months. So, what should markets watch most closely? Aside from tangible trade arrangements or a formal extension of the truce, we think the tone will be crucial. Language around technology cooperation or an agreement to continue negotiating will be critical in assessing how both sides plan on managing the relationship moving forward. Remember, this event is one of several potential meetings this year, so symbolic commitments toward broader structural concessions in the future could matter. For now, we think the most likely outcome is continued stabilization rather than a transformational reset. That's still constructive for markets at the margin, but probably not enough to eliminate the geopolitical overhang that continues to shape investor positioning globally.Thanks for listening.

Episode #534: Tracy Bawi Hlei Iang, a Chin activist and co-founder of Myanmar Action Group Denmark, reflects on a life shaped by early family separation, forced migration, and political rupture, and argues that sustained, small-scale collective action—especially across ethnic and religious lines—is both possible and essential for Myanmar's future. Tracy grew up in rural Chin State, and when she was about seven, her father fled Myanmar because of his political activities, landing in Denmark, and her mother left soon afterward, unable to remain safely in the country. After being raised by grandparents, she left Chin State at the age of fourteen to reunite with her father. Language was a major obstacle. She taught herself by reading children's books late into the night with a dictionary, eventually becoming fluent in the Danish language. Cultural integration took longer. Entering school as a teenager in a small town left her feeling invisible, until two years at a Christian boarding school allowed her to form friendships, learn Danish norms, and feel a sense of belonging grounded in social trust. Before the 2021 coup, Tracy was not politically active, but the military takeover shocked her into action. She helped organize a public demonstration in downtown Copenhagen that brought together multiple ethnic communities from Myanmar, an experience that galvanized her commitment. This led to the founding of Myanmar Action Group Denmark, a volunteer-run, registered association focused on advocacy and humanitarian support. From the outset, Tracy has insisted that the organization work for all of Myanmar rather than a single ethnic or religious group. Despite persistent divisions, she has observed growing openness, especially among younger people. Activism has transformed her personally, giving her skills, purpose, and solidarity with those still inside the country. It is important, she believes, for diverse diaspora communities to unite in solidarity. In the end, Tracy considers her efforts as quite small in the scheme of things, yet is satisfied with the impact she is able to make. So she closes with a simple message: “Please don't underestimate [the power of small actions].” She stresses that supporting Myanmar does not require grand gestures; it requires persistence, courage, and willingness to act where one is.

As recently as a few years ago, the idea of a self-administered injection that would deliver proven weight-loss results might have sounded fantastical. Today, these medications are a reality and a global phenomenon; hailed in many quarters as “miracle drugs" for their success in treating obesity and diabetes. They do this by replicating a gut hormone called GLP‑1, which tells the brain you've eaten enough and nudges the pancreas to release insulin; and this hormone was discovered and decoded thanks to years of work by today's guest. Jens Juul Holst is a Professor of Medical Physiology and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. His efforts laid the groundwork for today's weight loss jabs, earning him a slew of high-profile accolades and awards. Now it seems they might not only have positive impacts on obesity and diabetes, but also other health issues... But alongside the big success comes some big questions: including concerns over side effects, weight regain post-treatment, the black market in such drugs, and their cost and accessibility. In a frank conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Jens address these issues and shares his hopes for the future of GLP-1-focused research.

The Origins of Two Cosmological Giants George Gamow was born in Odessa in 1904 to a schoolteacher father who had once taught Leon Trotsky, leading to a notable incident where Trotsky attempted to organize a student coup in the classroom by having every student sign a single letter of a protest petition to hide individual identities. Gamow'seducation eventually took him to the University of St. Petersburg, where his father famously sold the family silver to fund his studies under the mentorship of Alexander Friedmann, a meteorologist and balloonist who pioneered mathematical models of an expanding universe based on Einstein's general relativity. When Friedmann died at a young age after contracting typhoid following a high-altitude balloon flight, Gamow was forced to pivot from cosmology to quantum and nuclear physics, where he successfully modeled alpha particle decay and the process of quantum tunneling that allows particles of opposite charges to overcome energy barriers. This discovery laid the groundwork for understanding the fusion processes that fuel stars and led to the development of early particle accelerators. During his time at Niels Bohr's Institute in Copenhagen, Gamow became a legendary figure known for riding his motorcycle across Europe and using humorous cartoons to communicate with international colleagues when language barriers arose. His life took a dramatic turn when the Soviet regime began demanding that scientific research align with Marxist-Leninist philosophy, prompting Gamow to attempt a daring but unsuccessful escape in a rubber kayak across the Black Sea toward Turkey. He and his wife were eventually able to defect to the West in 1933 after Bohr arranged for him to represent the Soviet Union at the Solvay conference, allowing Gamow to ultimately settle at George Washington University and begin his influential work on the "Big Bang" theory.

This is our continuing series pulled from archives going back to 2005. This week, we present a program from 2009 in which we summarized a conspiracy so vast it's come to be known as The Octopus. Originally released October 4, 2009 THE TITLE of tonight's show is a reference to the conspiracy investigated by journalist Danny Casolaro--whose death, despite the official ruling, remains a mystery. Casolaro believed it tied the United States government to the Inslaw case (a software company that accused the Justice Department of stealing its extremely powerful PROMIS case management software), the so-called “October Surprise” theory that Iran had held back the American hostages to help Ronald Reagan win the 1980 presidential election, the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, and the Iran-Contra scandal. The scheme was so vast and complex that Casolaro referred to it as “the Octopus.” Casolaro was found dead in a hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia in August of 1991, his wrists slashed 10 to 12 times. His death was, of course, ruled a suicide. Casolaro's story might have continued its slow fade into the dusty corners of conspiracy theory folklore, except that charges were filed this week against a Miami-based missionary to Honduras named Jimmy Hughes for the 1981 slayings of Fred Alvarez and two associates in Rancho Mirage, California. It is believed that Alvarez was killed to silence him before he could carry out a threat to expose financial improprieties and other illegal activity on the Cabazon Indian reservation in Riverside County, California. Incredibly, what happened on Cabazon land in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s reaches around the world and into the highest levels of the US government -- part of Casolaro's “Octopus”. Central to the story (especially when he tells it) is the mysterious Michael Riconosciuto, now serving a 20-year sentence for production and distribution of meth. Understanding “the Octopus” is like the old story of the blind men trying to comprehend their first encounter with an elephant: the parts you touch can appear to be completely different and totally unrelated. Running over the outlines of the case in about half an hour, we didn't even mention mainstream media reports -- published prior to 9/11 -- that FBI spy Robert Hanssen sold an upgraded version of PROMIS to Russia, which in turn sold it to Osama bin Laden. It's believed Al Qaeda used the software to penetrate databases and move funds between banks without being detected by US counterterror groups. A PROMIS derivative was also allegedly used by Chinese military intelligence to steal nuclear secrets from the Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories. So, like the Octopus, the tentacles extending from the modifications made by Michael Riconosciuto at the Cabazon reservation are many and far-reaching. Also: Ireland approves the Lisbon Treaty; President Obama strikes out in Copenhagen; the Ring of Fire heats up; the IMF becomes the world's central bank; and a scam in Montana.

Understatement: Mia Jones just had herself a season. As a rookie on the 2026 Freeride World Tour, she got to travel the world, ride in AK for the first time, win the FIS Freeride World Championship, become the overall FWT women's snowboard champion, and be named FWT rookie of the year. Today, she and Jonathan talk about how she managed to pull all of that off while pursuing a degree at Dartmouth, and figuring it all out along the way.Note: We Want to Hear From You!We'd love for you to share with us the stories or topics you'd like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate.
