Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD, of Amen Clinics and ILADS, returns for a third conversation, live in Nashville. She and Dr. Chris Motley talk about Lyme and other tick-borne infections in the brain: anxiety and depression, kids labeled ADHD, puberty flares, mold and memory, and why she calms the brain before treating anything. Plus her best question: when did your symptoms start, and where were you? Sources in the show notes. Educational only, not medical advice. 00:00 Depression, anxiety, and a Lyme test 00:39 Welcome: Dr. Eboni Cornish, live in Nashville 02:20 From bored family doctor to Lyme practice 04:13 How Lyme gets into the brain 06:12 What a Lyme brain looks like on a SPECT scan 08:02 The limbic loop: calm the brain 10:21 Is neurology catching up? 12:30 Floaters, light sensitivity, and trouble reading 14:05 Tinnitus and sound sensitivity 15:08 Can kids have Lyme? Pregnancy and newborns 17:48 Why puberty can trigger a flare 20:12 ADHD, PANS, and a gentler approach for kids 23:32 Food, kids, and the one-food trade 25:56 Sudden anger in children 27:23 Joint pain and injuries that won't heal 28:57 Teeth, gums, and cavitations 31:09 Babesia and your red blood cells 32:34 MTHFR, explained 35:11 Swollen lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage 36:47 Memory loss, mold, and dementia risk 39:42 Where were you when your symptoms started? 41:31 Gratitude and the brain 43:59 How your gut shapes your mood 46:09 Her morning routine 48:19 Saunas, baths, and cold water 50:38 Belly breathing for kids 51:11 Her fall speaking tour 54:14 Where to find Dr. Cornish 55:34 Wrap-up 57:01 Disclaimer Key Takeaways: Tick-borne illness can show up in the brain. Lyme can reach the nervous system. If you have neurological symptoms and you are not getting better, Dr. Cornish says to put tick-borne disease on the list (5:16). Calm the brain before you push treatment. Her patients who react to everything are often stuck in fight or flight, a "limbic loop" (9:37). She starts by calming the nervous system. Kids get labeled. Many of her pediatric patients arrive diagnosed with ADHD or "being bad" (20:50). A sudden change in a child, over days rather than months, is worth asking your pediatrician about by name: PANS. Trade one food, not the whole diet. She asks a reluctant kid for one food that "doesn't love your brain," and trades a supplement off the list in return (25:04). Then she asks AI for realistic swaps a family will actually eat. Babesia lives in red blood cells. If you have tested positive, don't donate blood. Federal blood-safety rules agree.

In this episode we speak to Jamie Airnes, CEO of Cornish Lithium, a pioneering mineral extraction company focused on extracting lithium from hard rock and geothermal waters in Cornwall, in the UK. The company that is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and they appeared within the first few episode of starting this podcast in 2018 when the business was still very much an exploration story. So 10 years on, it's developing two different routes to extracting lithium from Cornwall, from hard rock and geothermal waters, as it looks to establish a domestic source of this increasingly important critical mineral for the UK. Jamie joins us to discuss how far the company has come, the technology behind its two extraction routes, finding the skills and people needed to build a new UK lithium industry and what differentiates its approach from other lithium projects. We'll also look at why domestic lithium production matters to the UK, what support is needed from Government, and where Jamie sees Cornish Lithium and the wider UK mining industry over the next 5-10 years from now. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cornish Lithium is taking a dual-track approach by developing both hard-rock extraction at Trelavour and direct lithium extraction from geothermal brines across Cornwall. The company's patented "Lepidico" (L-Max/L-OH / now Licontrol) hydrometallurgical processing enables more efficient, lower-energy lithium refining with reduced water use and minimal waste. Developing domestic supply is essential to meet the UK government's mandate of 50,000 tonnes per year by 2035, helping end complete reliance on foreign imports and mitigating global price volatility. Retaining regional mining talent and collaborating with educational institutions and government are vital to scaling the workforce and delivering a projected £5 billion economic impact to Cornwall. BEST MOMENTS "The reality is, it's very very similar in many many ways... The subsurface is really important. It's really important to understand your subsurface in any project, any development project." "We have an insatiable demand for electrification, whether it's in the handheld devices that we use, whether it's in electric cars or BESS... Today we produce zero, and I'm a firm believer that where we have the opportunity to do so, we should be producing our own." "The supply and demand curves just now are acutely balanced, and they are subject to potential manipulation or indeed manipulation... China controls about 70% of the global supply chain." "Price certainty is really important, and we need the government to stand up, to recognise the challenge, and to work with industry and with Cornish Lithium to provide a solution that stands up our projects and stands up our industry."

Few know of the original short story that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's iconic horror film, “The Birds” - but it's that story that I'm sharing with you tonight.THE STORY: On December 3rd the wind turns east and winter lands overnight on a Cornish peninsula, where Nat Hocken, a part-time farm worker living on a wartime disability pension, wakes to something tapping at the bedroom window. By dawn there are fifty dead birds on the floor of his children's room, and out in the bay the gulls are massing by the tens of thousands, riding the swells and waiting on the tide. Nat boards his windows and stuffs his chimneys while the wireless carries a Home Office statement, then a national emergency, then nothing at all; he works out that the attacks rise and fall with the flood tide, and measures his family's odds in bread, candles, and kerosene. Evan Hunter's screenplay moved the story to Bodega Bay and built new characters around du Maurier's title, keeping her unexplained attacks and little else. The original ends with Nat lighting the last cigarette in the packet and throwing the empty one on the fire.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/mitm-thebirdsSOURCES and RESOURCES: “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier from the book, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents My Favorites In Suspense”: https://amzn.to/3knkjZ3WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Today's episode takes us into the world of a brand that is making real waves in menswear and outdoor clothing. I'm joined by Andrew Todd as known as Todd, Head Designer at Finisterre, a brand born in Cornwall with the ocean at the heart of everything it does. We talk about Todd's journey into design, how his career developed, and what ultimately brought him to Finisterre. We explore how the environment, the ocean and the Cornish way of life have shaped the brand's identity, and how those influences translate into the clothing they create. This is one of the most, heartfelt conversations I've had. Todd opens up about his approach to menswear, the journey that has brought him to where he is today, and what the future could hold for Finisterre and himself. There's something beautifully connected, about the way Todd describes design, nature and the ocean almost like an ecosystem where everything has its place and works together. A conversation about menswear, creativity, purpose, the ocean and building something that feels truly connected to where it comes from. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
S8 E11: Jam First, Then Cream: What a Cream Tea Taught Me About Memory I was sitting in Port Isaac with a warm scone in front of me when I discovered that I might be about to commit a Cornish offense. There was jam. There was thick cream. There was tea. And somewhere nearby, a newspaper headline was warning of a cream tea “blunder” serious enough to inspire calls for a boycott.Suddenly, the order of things mattered.In Season 8, Episode 11 of Tea, Toast & Trivia, I return to that afternoon in Cornwall and to the wonderfully spirited question of whether jam or cream should come first. What begins as a local disagreement over a scone soon opens into something much larger: a reflection on cultural memory, belonging, and the ordinary customs that quietly connect one generation with another.Perhaps some of our deepest inheritances are carried not in monuments or history books, but in kitchens, recipes, familiar rituals and the way we prepare a scone.So pour yourself a cup of tea, find a scone if you can, and come with me to Cornwall. And when it comes time to choose what goes on first, just remember — in Cornwall, it is jam first, then cream.Rebecca
The number of bluetongue cases since the first of July in the UK has now topped a thousand. That's nearly three times the number of positive cases for the whole of the previous year to that date. How are farmers feeling about the UK's largest ever outbreak of this livestock disease?There have been fears that livestock movement restrictions imposed to try to halt the spread of the outbreak could disrupt this autumn's big sheep sales, which play a critical role in the shepherding year. One of UK's biggest is Kelso Ram Sales took place this week in the Scottish Borders.The National Sheep Association estimates that every year around 200 farmers are affected by sheep rustling. We hear from a couple in Cumbria who realised they'd become victims of sheep rustlers with both rams and ewes missing from one of the fields they rent next to the busy A66.As farmers decide how they're going to manage next year's crops, the cost of fertiliser and fuel will be in the mix, but what if you could farm without fertiliser or diesel? We speak to a Cornish farmer who's putting this into practice on his farm and we visit a farmer who's set up a biomethane plant and is growing maize to produce energy.Farming without fossil fuels was on the agenda at a gathering of environmentalists this week. The Wild Summit in Bristol brought together more than 1000 people - campaigners, policy makers, scientists and farmers.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney
Tim Hannigan is a Cornish born Travel Writer so as somebody who grew up with a right to roam the countryside, the thing about living in Ireland that he can't get his head around is the comparatively limited access to the countryside that we settle for here. So he set himself the challenge of walking through Ireland's heartlands - from one side of the island to the other - without trespassing to see how much of the journey could be completed off road.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Season 7: Episode 8 --The UP Notable Book Club presents Mary V. Tippett speaking about her book "Enduring Legacies: People of the 1926 Barnes-Hecker Mine Disaster." The Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) presents author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. Make sure to like and subscribe so you don't miss any future UP Notable Book Club speakers! For more information, please visit the links below www.UPPAA.org www.UPNotable.com www.modernhistorypress.com/barnes-hecker The 62nd event is with Mary V. Tippett, whose book Enduring Legacies tells the stories of the families of the 51 men who died on November 3, 1926, when Barnes-Hecker collapsed and flooded. Tippett reaches far beyond names and dates and includes interviews of many of the families of survivors. Each story is well documented by newspaper accounts, meticulously restored photos, and after-accident reports recorded a hundred years ago. Join us for a tribute to these brave men who went down to the man-car to work one day in 1926, never knowing it would be their last on earth. MARY V. TIPPETT is a granddaughter of Walter Tippett, who perished in the Barnes-Hecker tragedy. In 2016, she led the 90th Anniversary Barnes-Hecker Remembrance Project, and continues to manage the Facebook page with a following of more than 850 people. She currently serves on the board of the Friends of the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee. In 1994, she conducted oral histories with underground miners of her Dad's generation, and all materials are in the Central Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan University Archives available online. The Tippett family genealogy has been traced back to the mid-1600s in Cornwall, England, with the first documentation of mining in the 1860s. Both the Finnish and Cornish sides of Mary's extended family including her Dad, brother, and son-in-law are among several generations of mining people.
Cornish fishermen this summer have had their usual catch of lobster and crab replaced by voracious octopus. Restaurant menus have had to be wiped and rewritten across the south-west, but what else has changed? Tom Heap and Helen Czerski ask why octopus have such a hold on our imagination and the science world, why the octopus has moved north and what its journey can tell us about the changing oceans.Joining Tom and Helen are the writer Sy Montgomery, marine biologist Dr Keith Hiscock MBE and octopus neuroscientist Dr Amy Courtney of the Marine Biological Association.Producer: Beth Sagar-FentonAssistant Producer: Toby Field
When tourists visit the Keweenaw Peninsula two things become evident: the strong influence of Finnish immigrants on the local culture, and prevalence of pasties. But while both have been embraced as part of the local culture, they carry different, but parallel, origin stories! Today, we dig in on the Cornish origins of this iconic regional dish.

I welcomed one of my hero authors, Michael Morpurgo, and his wife Clare, to Highclere Castle to talk about storytelling, history, the magic of reading, and the extraordinary charity they founded together — Farms for City Children.Michael shared how War Horse came to life and why understanding the First World War matters more than ever today. We recalled the unforgettable day Joey, the National Theatre's War Horse puppet, came to Highclere in 2014 — walking through the very library where Almina, my predecessor, had nursed soldiers back from the trenches a century before.Michael told the wonderful story behind Farms for City Children — how Clare, a childhood afternoon let loose near a Devon farm, courtesy of her father Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, sparked a lifetime's passion for the countryside, and how that passion became a charity that has given over 120,000 inner-city children a week of real farm life.We explored the importance of books and reading, handwriting, the friendship with Ted Hughes, the honest editorial partnership between Michael and Clare, and my own plans for a Highclere Literary Festival this October.We ended with Michael's dream summer evening guest: the radiant Audrey Hepburn.00:00 Welcome & Introduction02:10 War Horse & Joey Comes to Highclere06:30 History, World War I & Why It Still Matters13:15 The Origins of Farms for City Children21:45 A Real Farm — Not a Pretend Farm28:00 Highclere: Farm, History & the Fifth Earl33:20 The Power of Reading & the Literary Festival38:10 Writing by Hand, Ted Hughes & the iPad44:00 Editing, Marriage & Telling the Truth49:30 Dream Party Guest: Audrey HepburnTopics CoveredWar Horse & HighclereThe origins of War Horse and why Michael believes we must understand history to navigate the presentLady Carnarvon recalls the day Joey, the War Horse puppet from the National Theatre, came to Highclere in 2014 to mark the centenary of World War IHighclere Castle served as a real military hospital during World War I — Lady Carnarvon's predecessor, Almina, nursed soldiers back from the trenchesThe contrast with the fictional Downton Abbey and the very real human stories preserved in letters at HighclereHistory, War & ResponsibilityMichael reflects on why the First World War is so important — and how it directly caused the SecondThe role of individuals and political movements in triggering conflict, from Sarajevo to the rise of HitlerWhy Michael feels it is "timely" to revisit these lessons today, given the state of the worldSeeing War Horse in the theatre the night before recording — and what it still means to himFarms for City ChildrenClare's childhood inspiration: sent outside to explore as a young girl near a Devon farm, she fell in love with the countryside, animals, and the rhythm of rural lifeHer father, Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, instilled a love of the natural worldWhy Clare and Michael left teaching after realising they weren't reaching the children who needed them mostHow the charity started with one Victorian farmhouse in Devon and has since grown to multiple working farmsOver 120,000 children have now spent a week on a real farm — milking cows, feeding lambs, grooming horses, doing genuine workMeeting former "farm children" now aged 45 with families of their own, who say the experience never left themHighclere Today — A Living EstateFarming records at Highclere dating back to the 16th century;

Simon and Chris have a feeling they're not in Kansas anymore as they follow Jenny Randles down the yellow brick road into the Oz Factor: that peculiar sense of silence, isolation and altered reality that sometimes accompanies UFOs, ghosts, time slips and fairy encounters. Is this strange quiet a gateway into the supernatural, or simply what the brain does when confronted by something terrifying? Can supernatural experiences ever be separated from the people who have them? Chris brings in magnetic fields, neurological auras and the human freeze response, while Simon gets unexpectedly woo-woo about telepathy and wonders why the Victorians seem to have missed the Oz Factor altogether. Also in this month's episode there are pixies in Cornish hedges, a choking incident, God in the desert, Versailles time slips, Chris knowing where the aliens are kept, Simon's life-changing encounter with a fake Jenny Randles and the legal cases that the terrible two are planning against each other.

In this episode of Everyday Black Men, Riker, Sham, Reed, and the Rider bounce from FIFA protests and family-sized lasagna to interview strategies, questionable lies, and whether Christmas really sneaks up on anybody. The crew debates pretty-boy genetics, Black Libertarian's fashion choices, Jake Paul, Deontay Wilder, the mysterious decline of Kohl's, and why Cornish hen wings might be the shrimp of the poultry world. Things get unexpectedly practical as they break down cooking at home, eating out smarter, saving money in 2026, and finding ways to enjoy life even when everything feels expensive. They close with a surprisingly reflective conversation about preparing for the next stage of life, understanding how the world works, and naturally, finding someone political to blame.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

HEADLINES: A woman accused of killing her husband and dismembering his body has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, on the eve of her trial. Australians could be in for another rate rise, with new economic figures showing inflation isn’t cooling enough. The Trump administration has paused visa appointments for applicants worldwide, as part of its wider immigration crackdown. Meanwhile Donald Trump has floated renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," as his trade war with Canada escalates. Tributes are continuing to roll in for songwriting legend and entertainment great Dolly Parton who died at the age of 80, including from Taylor Swift. Australians are confidently booking overseas trips again, after months of disruption caused by war in the Middle East. And finally - you won't believe what has been spotted hopping through a Cornish town, One in six new Australian mums report drinking at risky levels in their baby's first year. Clinical psychologist Dr Katrina Prior noticed the pattern on her own maternity leave, and we also spoke to Victoria Vanstone, host of the Sober Awkward podcast, who lived it herself.

“We're Bombalonzo.” This episode features the cast and creative team (Faith Stansfield and Matty Franklin from the cast and Kirsten Edwards and Marc Taylor from the creative team) from the Boom Theatre in Cornwall, who are performing a Young Actors Edition of CATS inspired by a “Cornish twist.” They discuss their first introductions to Cats, why Boom chose the dance-led show, and how the production reimagines the junkyard as a derelict Cornish harbor with immersive elements like fog and sea scent. Marc outlines three character “tribes” (village cats, mystical moor/legend cats, and pirate/wrecker outsiders), plus costume ideas including Cornish tartan and a tartan-clad Beetle Tattoo. Maddie and Faith explain character-development exercises, relationship choices (including their “Bombalonzo” dynamic), and how they're adjusting adult themes for a youth cast. 01:21 First Encounters With CATS 06:37 Cornwall Reimagining 11:00 Three Tribes Concept 13:27 Building Characters in Rehearsal 31:02 Designing a Cornish Cats 36:46 Rapid Fire Check out Boom Theatre Instagram: @boom_theatre Check out the Boom Theatre's website: boomtheatre.uk Produced by: Alan Seales & Broadway Podcast Network Social Media: @TheWrongCatDied Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailSwimming has spent decades asking coaches to become more professional. But has the profession done enough to support them in return?Doug Cornish is a former swim coach, financial planner, and the creator of the 2025 Swim Coaches Compensation Survey. His findings expose how precarious coaching has become: 38% of respondents reported working without a current contract, while 80% had no cost-of-living adjustment built into their agreements.Doug and I discuss why coaches continue accepting these conditions, how poor financial stewardship limits what clubs can provide, and why coach retention is foundational to athlete development and the future of the sport. We also lay out five practical changes that could begin moving the profession forward—from credible compensation data and honest job ratings to board education, stronger financial structures, and contract templates.This isn't just a conversation about what's wrong. It's about what swimming can actually do next—because if we want to save the sport, we have to start with the coaches.Doug's e-mail: doug@swimpler.comWebsite: swimpler.comISCA Email 1: https://mailchi.mp/swimisca/coach-retention-the-future-of-swimming-depends-on-it?e=70a9f8d406ISCA Email 2: https://mailchi.mp/swimisca/can-great-coaches-afford-to-remain-great2025 Coach Compensation Survery Data10 Ways to Value Coaches
In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Professor Patrick Nunn — geographer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne, and visiting fellow at Oxford — for a conversation that will permanently change how you look at the map of Britain. Patrick's new book, Whispers from Celtic Seas, published this month by Reaktion Books, makes an extraordinary argument: the legends of drowned kingdoms off the coasts of Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany are not fantasy at all. They are testimony — eyewitness memories of real catastrophes, passed down by word of mouth for as long as eight thousand years, which would make them quite literally the oldest stories we have. Patrick explains how a conventionally trained scientist came to take myths as seriously as data (via Pacific island oral cultures and Aboriginal Australian traditions), walks Jonathan through the twelve-thousand-year-old Colinda harpoon dredged from the North Sea in 1931 that first revealed Doggerland, describes the Storegga submarine landslide that severed Britain from mainland Europe 8,200 years ago, and unpacks the real histories buried inside the stories of Cantre'r Gwaelod, Lyonesse, and the sea-crossing giants of the Celtic fringe. Along the way: two islands drawn on the 1360 Gough Map that no longer exist, an eighteenth-century Cornish parson who got there first, why stone circles may have been climate mitigation strategies, and the Welsh mudflats whose name translates as "the place of weeping." Links The Book Whispers from Celtic Seas — Reaktion Books (published August 4) Whispers from Celtic Seas — University of Chicago Press (US distribution) Whispers from Celtic Seas — Blackwell's Patrick's Earlier Books The Edge of Memory: Ancient Stories, Oral Tradition and the Post-Glacial World (2018) About Patrick Patrick Nunn — Official Website Prof. Patrick D. Nunn — University of the Sunshine Coast Academic Publications Places & Things Mentioned The Gough Map (c.1360) — Bodleian Library, Oxford Doggerland — Wikipedia overview The Storegga Slide Cantre'r Gwaelod, Cardigan Bay Isles of Scilly Conwy Bay & Traeth Lafan (Lavan Sands), North Wales Outer Hebrides — VisitScotland North Uist & the Monach Islands Crater Lake National Park, Oregon (Mount Mazama) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Patrick Nunn's central argument is that the coastal legends of Britain, Ireland and Brittany — drowned kingdoms, giants, mermaids, land-making witches — are not invented fiction but encoded memories of real environmental catastrophes, passed down orally for thousands of years. His challenge to skeptics is to explain the implausibility of the alternative: that pre-literate peoples had the leisure time to invent elaborate fictions and consign them to the river of history. The moment of realization came in two stages. Working in the Pacific Islands, Patrick listened to elders recount stories for hours as if reading from a book — proving oral cultures can retain and transmit enormous quantities of information with total precision. Then, after moving to Australia in 2010, he encountered 34 separate groups of Aboriginal stories from around the entire coastline describing when the sea was further out and the ocean rose to cover the land — events that ended around 7,000 years ago, meaning the stories must be at least that old. The Crater Lake example is Patrick's clinching argument. When European settlers reached Oregon, the Klamath people told them a mountain once stood where the lake is, that two gods fought, and that the mountain collapsed. Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed 7,600 years ago. There is no alternative explanation for how that story survived. The Colinda harpoon — a twelve-thousand-year-old carved deer antler dredged from the floor of the North Sea by a Lowestoft trawler in 1931 — was the first widespread realization that people had once occupied the seabed between Britain and Europe. That landmass is now known as Doggerland, named for the Dogger Bank fishing ground. At the coldest point of the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago, the ocean surface stood roughly 400 feet (125 meters) lower than today. Doggerland was not a "land bridge" — its inhabitants did not think of themselves as living on a bridge. It was simply a vast inhabited landmass supporting fishing, hunting, and free movement of people, animals, and vegetation between what is now mainland Europe and the British Isles. Around 8,200 years ago, a huge section of the Norwegian continental shelf collapsed into the ocean depths — the Storegga Slide — displacing an enormous volume of water and generating tsunamis that struck Shetland, Orkney, Scotland, and the eastern seaboard of the British Isles. Driving south through the North Sea, it smashed passages through the already-shrinking remains of Doggerland. That event, in effect, created the British Isles. The Welsh legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay — sixteen cities lost when King Gwyddno's steward got drunk and forgot to close the sluice gates — has a genuine kernel of truth. People certainly lived in that area 10,000 to 12,000 years ago when sea levels were tens of meters lower, and those places were genuinely submerged. The drunken steward is later decoration added to make the story entertaining; the submergence is the empirical core. The Gough Map of around 1360 — the oldest surviving map of Britain, held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford — shows two islands in Cardigan Bay that do not exist today. Patrick doesn't believe the islands still existed in the 1360s, but the memory of them was sufficiently compelling that the cartographer drew them anyway. Patrick's explanation for giants is one of the book's most striking ideas. When a memory became too implausible for later generations — people walking across what is now thirty miles of open ocean — the story adapted rather than died. The walkers became giants, and the giants grew larger as the ocean gaps widened. Giants weren't invented; they were brought into narrative tradition specifically to keep true memories credible. Patrick's two recommended places to stand and feel this history: Conwy Bay in North Wales, where the mudflats at its head are called the Lavan Sands, whose old name means "the place of weeping"; and the Outer Hebrides, particularly around North Uist, where 19th-century collectors recorded remarkably detailed stories about the Monach Islands — including the names of the last people to cross the land connection and those who drowned attempting it. That connection was submerged 6,800 years ago. Soundbites "I don't think people five hundred years ago or even five thousand years ago had the leisure time to develop elaborate fictions and then consign them to the river of history and pass them down through the ages." — Patrick on why he takes ancient stories seriously. "When we look at stories of mermaids and giants, we're really looking into the minds of people hundreds, even thousands of years ago — the way they conceived the world and the way they encoded their observations of deep time." — Patrick on what folklore actually preserves. "It became clear to me that people in oral cultures are in fact able to retain and organize and pass on huge amounts of information without the benefits of being able to write them down." — Patrick on the Pacific Islands research that changed his thinking. "These stories by default had to be at least seven thousand years old. And that really blew my mind, as I guess it would that of any conventional scientist. But I was always trained: let the data speak." — Patrick on the Aboriginal Australian stories of coastal drowning. "That volcano erupted seven thousand six hundred years ago. There is no alternative explanation for the Klamath story having been passed on since this cataclysmic event." — Patrick on Crater Lake, Oregon. "Why are you skeptical that a story can be passed down for thousands of years? You're skeptical because it doesn't happen today. We've forgotten, if you like, what our ancestors in oral societies did." — Patrick's response to skeptics. "That event, if you like, created the British Isles. It destroyed the land connection between the British Isles and mainland Europe around about eight thousand two hundred years ago." — Patrick on the Storegga Slide. "We laugh about the drunken steward and the duties he failed to perform. But the essence of that story is that there once existed inhabited places on the floor of what is today Cardigan Bay, and these places became submerged. And of course that's absolutely true." — Patrick on Cantre'r Gwaelod. "Those people became giants because that was the way you could rationalize these stories and make them credible to each new generation. And the giants became bigger and bigger through time because the ocean gaps became wider and wider." — Patrick on the origin of giants in Celtic folklore. "The old English name for the Lavan Sands means the place of weeping. There is so much sadness associated with the loss of land in the past, and some of that sentiment is preserved in place names." — Patrick on Conwy Bay, North Wales.

Tom Irwin is joined by St Enodoc Head Professional Nick Williams for a fascinating look back at almost 46 years in golf. Nick recalls joining St Enodoc in the 1980s, when the club was a very different place, and reflects on how it has grown from a relatively unknown Cornish gem into a thriving golf club. He also shares stories from his career, including the changing role of the club professional, repairing persimmon clubs, setting courses and handicaps, and the evolution of golf coaching. They also discuss how technology has transformed teaching, whether modern coaching has become too technical, and why Nick still believes getting the basics right is the key to playing better golf. A fascinating conversation about a lifetime spent behind the counter, on the course and in the coaching bay at one of Cornwall's most renowned golf clubs.

“One night in Cornwall, around 2 AM, I heard a tawny owl outside the holiday cottage where I was staying. I quickly grabbed my Zoom H5 and went out in my pyjamas. As I was standing there, listening, a second sound emerged: a motorcycle, travelling through the hills of Rosudgeon and Goldsithney. The nocturnal duet between these two lone creatures lasted for minutes on end.”
This week we're joined by Layo and Zoe Paskin, the brother-and-sister duo behind Studio Paskin and some of London's most celebrated restaurants, including The Palomar, The Barbary and Michelin-starred Evelyn's Table. Before restaurants, they were at the heart of London nightlife, helping build legendary nightclub The End into one of the most influential clubs of its era. They reveal why they chose to walk away at the absolute peak of its success, the huge offer that tempted them to close the doors, and why, looking back, Layo wonders whether they made the right decision.We hear how the lessons they learnt in nightclubs became the blueprint for their restaurants: creating atmosphere, treating people generously and making sure guests leave in a better mood than when they arrived. Zoe recalls being told she wasn't qualified to run a restaurant because she'd “only” run a nightclub, before the siblings travelled to Jerusalem and began putting together the idea that would become The Palomar. They also open up about its extraordinary launch, the messy split with their original chef partners and why they believe the mid-2010s really were a golden era for eating out in London.All of this unfolds over a feast at The Barbary Notting Hill, as we get stuck into lamb taftoon, Cornish cod, pork and the restaurant's legendary hash cake. We discuss the rise of counter dining and open kitchens, winning a Michelin star at Evelyn's Table, why they'd rather keep creating new restaurants than simply roll out 25 identical Barbaries, and what they think has become far too ubiquitous on London menus. Plus, Layo makes the case for Hanoi as one of the world's great food cities — and may accidentally talk himself into his next restaurant concept.You 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.

The whole of Wales and half of England are now officially in drought. For farmers the impacts are huge. There are concerns about a shortage of feed for livestock and cereal yields are down. The Environment Agency in England says it will step up controls on how much water can be taken from rivers and groundwater. The National Farmers Union has called for a more modern abstraction system, saying we're still using regulations which are 50 years old. The environmental charity River Action says too many businesses are taking water from rivers, and the government should review the abstraction licence system. It says that trillions of litres of water are being taken from rivers, lakes and aquifers every year.There's been a rise in cases of bluetongue this summer. The disease is spread by midges and can have a devastating impact on cattle and sheep. We hear from a farmer who lost a third of his calves due to the virus, and a scientist who says the hot weather is accelerating the spread.All week BBC local radio stations in England have been focusing on agriculture, as part of this year's Farmwatch reporters have looked at food inflation and what rising costs mean for producers. We also hear from an inspiring young farmer in Cornwall, who has got his own dairy herd - comprising one Jersey cow.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Late last month, John shared two theories about the Cormoran Strike series of novels, both from Katya Slonenko, a member of the Reddit r/CormoranStrike online fandom: Dementia, Jewelry, and a Nine Inch Cock: The Mystery of Shanker's ‘Old Man,' His Given Name, and Why He's Never Killed Jeff Whittaker and Katya Slonenko: Leda Strike's 'Mistress of the Salmon Salts' Pudenda Tattoo. John corresponded with Katya while preparing those posts and invited her to join him and Nick for a discussion of her ideas, of life as a Redditor, and her thoughts about Rowling's artistry and meaning. She accepted the invitation but said she wouldn't be free until July to talk. Hence the wait! As expected, though, speaking with her about her own journey to expertise in Rowling Studies, her ideas about the clues Rowling has embedded so carefully within the first eight books and especially in Hallmarked Man, and the Reddit posts of which she thinks Hogwarts Professor readers need to be aware was well worth the wait.You'll want to read those posts from June before listening to get the most out of this conversation, but, regardless of your preparation, John and Nick believe that every Serious Striker and Rowling Reader will be charmed and challenged by Katya's remarkable insights, generous spirit, and winsome personality. The conversation includes three other Reddit community posts — about Leda's ‘Carnival' dress (Arachulia), about the real name of her first husband, and about the Harry Potter tattoo Rowling-Galbraith hid on a Strike novel character's shoulder — which took the discussion above and beyond the two Katya theories in the June posts.Nick and John close the conversation by inviting her back and they hope readers here will share the questions they want us to be sure to ask her on her return visit in the comment thread below. Or just ask her yourself! As she demonstrated on the threads beneath the June posts, she is generous with her time in responding to other Strike fans.Can't wait for more Katya Slonenko? Follow her at r/CormoranStrike, on Instagram (Tattoos!), on FaceBook, and check our her older, longer posts on Medium…The Ten Plus Questions with Links1. Welcome, Katya, and thank you for joining us! The serious readers at Hogwarts Professor have been buzzing about your Shanker and Leda r/Cormoran Strike Reddit posts and we're thrilled to be able to talk with you about those ideas. First, though, tell us about your first Rowling reading experiences and how you started posting on Reddit about the Strike series.2. I'm guessing that Reddit Strike fandom may be as unfamiliar to Hogwarts Professor readers as it was to me. What is it about the Pelican_Girl and TopRequirement670 moderated posts and that international community that you love the most?3. Shanker! I confess -- I hadn't given him a thought really beyond a doppelganger twin for Strike before Fiona from Adelaide introduced me to the ideas that he had to be involved in the death of Leda Strike and that the Riccis were also somehow party to it. Ed Shardlow shared your Reddit post on the subject and my mind was blown; you made a compelling case soon after the publication of Hallmarked Man last year that Shanker is a Ricci, the illegitimate son of Nico ‘Muccy' Ricci, but to avenge Leda Strike's death he has become a Met or MI5 informer. Let's start with the four pointers that Shanker gave Strike in one conversation that he is a Ricci-by-blood and what made you think of that connection:* Shanker's statement that his father had dementia or was senile;* Shanker's report that his dad taught that jewelry was the way to a woman's heart;* Shanker's claim that his ‘old man' was said to have a “nine inch cock;” and* Shanker's saying that his begetter “‘ad kids wiv abou' ten diff'rent women.”4. I see the trigger now that you've detailed it but you dug and made four more connections that were buried in the texts of the series' other books:* Shanker's knowledge of the Ricci clan, especially Mucky,* his Strike-witnessed working with Mucky in drug deals,* “he deals cocaine and is good with a knife;” and, best of all,* the reaction Robin had to both Shanker and Luca at their first meeting, the fun-house mirror upside-down reflection of the attraction half-siblings feel for another intuitively. Robin is viscerally repulsed and afraid of the half-sibling Ricci boys.We cannot not see these connections after you point them out, but they're nigh on invisible until they're pointed out! Why do you think you saw them when we missed them -- and why do you think Rowling has taken such care to make them invisible in plain sight?5. And Shanker is an MI5 informant? Where does that come from?5.5 Let's not forget that you also make an intelligent guess, the first one I've heard, about what Shanker's given name really is, one based on the names of Nico Ricci's two children out of ten for whom we have names.* Katya shared not only her reasoning about why Shanker's name is John or an Italian variant of the Evangelist's name but also her theory about the parentage and name of the other remaining character in the series who also remains nameless: the mysterious ‘Strike' with whom Leda ran away from Cornwall! (Be sure to read the comment thread for Redditor conversation about other possible Ricci children…)6. Your thoughts about Shanker all feed into theories about Leda Strike and her mysterious death in the end, which brings us to another aspect of her life and death about which you've brought an important and unique perspective. I'm talking about the Mistress of the Salmon Salt tattoo. Did you know anything about tattoos, Katya, before writing this piece?7. As a tattoo artist yourself, what do you make of Leda's tattoo placement?8. Tattoos are meaningful, powerful reflections or revelations of the person's interior life or self-understanding (see the post about Katya's ‘Salmon Salt Tattoo' theory for much more on this). What do you think this tattoo communicates about Leda? Is it another example of Rowling's text-within-the-text or a variant of her using cryptonyms to signal important information about a character's inner life?What Tattoos Mean in Cormoran Strike and a Catalog of Examples* From Katya's 2023 ‘Mistress of the Salmon Salt Revisited:'I hear you asking - why can't Leda's be just a tattoo, without any deeper meaning to it? That's because all the other tattoos in the Strike books have meaning and provide a clue to their wearers' characters.Here are some examples:* Kelsey Pratt's One Direction tattoo is an obvious link to her being a One Direction fan. (How Leda's tattoo is different? She chose the name of the particular song, not the more generic name of the band, to be tattooed on her)* Laing's rose pierced with a dagger bluntly means violence to women. Rose is a woman in the language of symbols, while the dagger is… well, a dagger.* Polworth's St Piran's cross means he's a Cornish patriot. I'll be surprised if it also doesn't mark him as The Hanged Man (a symbolic bearer of a cross)* Portia Bayliss's trident refers to her Caribbean roots* Edie had a small black heart on the knuckles because she was the creator of ‘The Ink Black Heart' cartoon.* Zoe's tattoos are of ‘The Ink Black Heart' characters she identifies with.* Pez Pierce has The Beatles quote around his neck - Strawberry Fields was (is?) a place in Liverpool.* Union Jack, a skull, and a Nordic “Chaos” rune give a good impression of what the Turisaz character will be about (all tattooed on visible spots like head or neck - he wears them proudly!);* Same with Algiz and Uruz, sans the Union Jack and the skull.* Noli Seymour's tattoo stands for “Golden Prophet”. It denotes her connection to the Universal Humanitarian Church and her status there as the current Golden Prophet.* An ace of spades was inked onto his left cheek, and a tattooed tiger covered his throat. - Jordan Reaney's tattoos are pretty telling, too.* Not a character, but still - JK herself has a tattoo, “Solve et Coagula”, which means - “I'm a writer of an alchemical detective series!” :DSo you see, all these tattoos are chosen to reflect their owners' personal histories. That's generally a feature of Rowling's writing: if she describes a character, every little detail works for the portrait she wants to paint. There are no details put there “just because” - everything is important. How the characters dress and speak, what they eat and drink, what music they listen to, and what tattoos they have tell us something about the character.What does Leda's tattoo contribute to her portrait?Nothing!In Career of Evil, when we learn of its existence, the tattoo adds literally nothing to Leda's portrait. Why is it mentioned in the story to which it makes zero contribution, except for serving as a plot device enabling the killer's obsession?Because it will be important later.* Katya shared in her answer her theory from experience that Rowling-Galbraith had secretly marked a character as a Harry Potter fan by giving her a shoulder tattoo that Potter-heads would recognize!9. Rowling's Solve et Coagula tattoo: what do you think she is telling the world about herself? Is there a correspondence or tie between the author's tattoo and its placement and Leda's?10. Whittaker quotes a line from the Salmon Salt song by the Blue Oyster Cult — “She was the Quicklime Girl” — while testifying at his trial on murder charges; what do you think that tells us about her death? Does it suggest it was suicide or murder? Do you think Whittaker did it? 11. And another one to make eleven! You thought at one point because of the meaning of ‘Mistress of the Salmon Salt' that we had to take seriously the possibility that Leda herself was a serial killer. But you've changed your mind. Why is that? * In addition to her own thinking on this subject, Katya shared yet another Redditor theory, this one from Arachulia about The New Dress that Aunt Joan said was the real reason that Leda had left her Nancarrow home in Cornwall with the mysterious ‘Strike.'

Chase sits down with Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale — the Oxford- and Cambridge-trained historian known online as Raw Egg Nationalist — to talk through his provocative new book, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity. They trace Charlie's unlikely path from medieval church historian to one of the most influential voices in the MAHA movement, and dig into his central thesis: that liberalism itself is a low-testosterone system, that endocrine disruptors and processed food are quietly reshaping men, and that Francis Fukuyama's "last man" is now a physiological reality. Along the way they wrestle with the Christian temptation to divorce body from soul, Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as a slave morality, the guilty conscience, Christian vitalism, and whether the church still has the vitality to fight. Whether you're deep in this conversation already or skeptical of the whole thing, this one will sharpen you.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
Send us Fan MailA lot of athletes say they love the mountains, but Andy Cornish actually builds her whole season around them. We talk about Jackson Hole summer life, getting up on the Grand Teton, and how growing up in the Tetons shaped a style that blends trail running, mountaineering, and ski mountaineering into one “mountain athlete” path.Andy also shares what it feels like to join the Mammoot team and why the fit matters when your goals don't look like the standard trail racing checklist. We get into the gear details that make big days smoother, including a vest-style 15-liter pack that can carry water up front and still haul climbing essentials, plus what she looks for in traction and support when moving fast on technical terrain.Then we go deeper on the question I've started asking more often: what's your why? Andy breaks down the mix of nerves, excitement, peace, and empowerment that comes from choosing hard objectives, especially as a woman in a space that still needs more representation. We close with a practical note every runner understands: foot care, injury mitigation, and why insoles and socks can make or break consistency when plantar or peroneal issues flare up.If you enjoy these athlete stories and mountain-focused training talk, subscribe or follow, share this with a friend who lives for steep trails, and leave a rating and review so we can keep making more.Follow Andie on IG - @andiecornishUse code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

The rapid rise of AI chat presenting as therapists has spurred a reaction to differentiate what AI can do versus the work of a licensed therapist.This is causing many people to look more closely at the question:What Is Therapy?In today's discussion, we'll both look back at how therapy has been understood historically and look forward to cutting-edge research like “interpersonal neural synchrony,” which is being studied across therapy professions and perhaps paving the way for a unified definition of therapy and its biological mechanisms. Understanding therapy in a neurobiological way will also help us understand why therapy is so often measured by triangulating multiple outcome measures.We are joined in the course by Megan Cornish, LICSW, and we hope it will inspire you to consider the remarkable power of therapeutic relationships (that we are just at the beginning of understanding.)

On the Cornish coast, a man is dying by the sea. He has chosen to be there, and he knows why, and he is willing — with one exception — to let the world draw its own conclusions. The exception is a story he has told no one: a woman he met in Cairo, a wrong he did her, and something that has followed him across the water ever since. Not threatening. Not reproachful. Simply there, at the edge of the known world, in a light that has no name in any spectrum the living can account for. Prevost's 1893 story asks, without sentimentality and without resolution, what we leave behind us when we refuse an honest encounter — and whether what we leave behind stays left. A Ghost of the Sea was first published in 1893 in Prevost's collection Rust of Gold, issued by Ward and Lock, London. Francis Prevost was the pen name of Harry Francis Prevost Battersby (1862–1949), soldier, war correspondent, novelist, and lifelong investigator of psychical phenomena.

The early modern period was a rocky time for religion across Europe, fundamental pinnings of everyday life were being questioned and changing, as the reformation shifted authority away from the church. Thoughts on death and the afterlife were turned upside down, and in villages across England, restless spirits were making a comeback. To confront these supernatural intruders, communities turned to their local clergy to carry out the practice of ghost-laying, an exorcism ritual that sought to bind and banish the dead. At least, that's what Victorian authors would have liked to believe. Part religion, part folklore, and part fear, the subject of ghost-laying is fairly well complicated, and defining just how much of it is actually true, even more so. SOURCES Walsh, Brendan C.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Cornwall's finest and UK film making royalty MARK JENKIN!A total gem of an episode here, whether you are a heavyweight devotee of Mark's film output or if this is the first time you're hearing about him. Mark's got many years in the game, and in an era where almost every single thing feels digital, his approach to film making is almost as aesthetically radical as it comes - using all analogue gear, and a truly unique attitude to post-sync sound too. This chat gets into many eras and processes, including the origins of Bait (2019) which stem back to decades ago, how to tour a film, making films for an audience of self, representing the working class in an honourable way, Cornwall stereotypes, falling in love with the film making process again via Super8 cameras, the music making process and how said sync work happens. Genuine good stuff for the films heads (and, as said, those not familiar - everyone will get something from this). Oh and just TRY not to incorporate the Cornish Affirmative into you daily parlance.
