Podcasts about Crete

Hi! It's me. For the next four weeks, we're trying something a little different on Dial Emma - this is Voicenote Therapy, combining my love of long voicenotes with therapeutic insights to create something new and, hopefully, helpful.Today, in episode two, we're exploring a question I hear a lot, in life and in the therapy room: "am I asking for too much?"I delve deeper into why we tell ourselves that we're expecting too much from other people, the tendency to shrink our needs and preempt our own disappointment rather than asking for what we need without apology, and how we can begin to rewrite the script by telling our truth.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Host Russell Thackeray welcomes Duncan Starr-Boltt, a Cambridge-based Brit who lives in Crete most of the year, and explores his journey from mechanical engineering into personal training, coaching, and running a CrossFit gym. Duncan describes intense fitness challenges (including a wall-ball world record of 452) and how proving fitness shaped his identity, later easing once he felt he'd proven it to himself. After becoming stressed running the gym, he found Western approaches ineffective and turned to Eastern ideas, emphasising “you are not the mind,” cultivating the observer through meditation and mindfulness, and focusing on feeling okay internally. He discusses the tension between goals and contentment, advocating goals for clarity without unhealthy drive, and shares his father's Maslow-inspired visualisation process that iteratively achieves goals to uncover deeper purpose. He also mentions his fictional book, "Seeking Sukha," about lasting happiness and peace, and how to find him online.00:00 Introductions00:37 From Engineer to Fitness Coach01:55 Gym Stress and Eastern Practices02:50 Forrest Gump Fitness Identity03:33 Chasing World Records06:06 Did Proving It Matter07:09 The Goal Behind Goals08:38 Goal Setting vs Discontentment11:08 Driven Energy and Satisfaction11:53 Why We Choose Unsatisfied12:48 Why We Tolerate Abuse13:38 Eastern Wisdom vs Western Fixes14:45 You Are Not The Mind17:08 Observer Mindfulness and Goals17:50 Purpose Beyond the Cave19:15 Vision Triangle Goal Process23:21 Identity and Future Self24:40 Seeking Sukha Book Story26:26 Audiobook Recording Realities26:53 Where to Find Duncan27:24 Final Reflections and GoodbyeYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

Three cruise stories today. Aboard Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady, a 35-year-old Spanish passenger was arrested by the Hellenic Coast Guard in Souda, Crete, on July 10 on suspicion of possessing and distributing cocaine and cannabis after ship security alerted authorities; the passenger was released by the Chania prosecutor, flown to Spain, and banned from rejoining the voyage without a refund. Royal Caribbean canceled the July 11 sailing of Spectrum of the Seas from Shanghai after Typhoon Bavi forced the government closure of Baoshan port, offering full refunds, future cruise credits, and travel reimbursements with claims due by September 10. And Galveston Wharves is studying a fifth cruise terminal at Pier 14 as passenger traffic climbs toward an estimated four million in 2026, part of a $2.4 billion, 25-year master plan.

Valentin Cassadine spends these three years building one lie on top of another, and every single one collapses. He fakes Nina a daughter, loses his own name when a hidden codicil proves he isn't really a Cassadine at all, and rebuilds his power from scratch by quietly taking over ELQ. Along the way, he protects Peter August's darkest secrets for years, gets pulled into a rivalry with Anna Devane's twin sister that nearly kills him twice, and ends up doting on a baby who isn't even his. By the time this stretch ends, Valentin has lost a wife, a name, and a fake daughter, and finally started something real with Anna Devane, right before getting kidnapped in Crete by a man claiming to be his actual father.

The church at Crete faces challenges on every side. Crete is a toxic culture, and there is false teaching threatening the church. This is why a godly eldership is needed to protect the church from error. And this is why Paul is so concerned that the believers will live out their faith in integrity. The culture will call them to compromise at every turn. How very contemporary all of this sounds!

Hello! It's me. This week we're trying something a little different on Dial Emma - this is Voicenote Therapy, combining my love of long voicenotes with therapeutic insights to create something new and, hopefully, helpful.Today I'm exploring the idea that the feeling causing us the most distress is not always the real root of the problem - whether it's anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, recurring relationship patterns, or something else - and why therapy often seeks to shift the focus from, “how do I stop this?” to “what is this trying to tell me?”Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

The church at Crete faces challenges on every side. Crete is a toxic culture, and there is false teaching threatening the church. This is why a godly eldership is needed to protect the church from error. And this is why Paul is so concerned that the believers will live out their faith in integrity. The culture will call them to compromise at every turn. How very contemporary all of this sounds!

The selection of elders is not simply about putting warm bodies into leadership positions but about seeking the Lord's direction in ordaining qualified men to serve the church. Hear how Paul's instructions to Titus in his mission at Crete focus on the character and duties of elders.

Your behavior betrays your beliefs. In Titus 2:1–10, Paul ties “sound doctrine” to everyday life—older men and women, younger men and women, workers—so that households and workplaces on Crete “adorn the doctrine of God our Savior”. This message shows how healthy teaching heals worship, reshapes our roles, and makes the news of Jesus look good in a Cretan‑like culture.

In this episode, Markus meets Norwegian brewing pioneer Kjetil Jikiun for a very special “beer cast” recorded in the car. Kjetil looks back on an extraordinary journey that led him from life as an airline pilot to becoming one of the key figures of the modern Norwegian beer revolution. He shares how homebrewing, American craft beer, and a deep curiosity for flavor inspired him to co-found Nøgne Ø and help introduce bold styles like IPA, saison, and imperial stout to Norway. The conversation also takes some remarkable detours: from brewing what may be the highest-altitude beer in the world on a mountain pass in Central Asia, to building a brewery project in Crete and discovering how different beer cultures can be. Kjetil reflects on innovation, responsibility, and the balance between brewing as science and brewing as art. A fascinating episode about adventure, flavor, and the courage to keep reinventing yourself.

Welcome back to Dial Emma, and to the last episode of our latest miniseries, The Truth. This week, we're exploring the unsayable truths about family, and the caregiving roles that we never signed up for.Our listener, a woman in her fifties whose parents are now in their seventies, wrote to me about the feeling of losing herself while taking on multiple roles in her parents' lives: administrator, technical support, taxi service, crisis manager. She asks a simple question: am I an awful person, for wanting freedom from the people I love?In this episode, I explore the specific exhaustion that comes from being needed, the feeling of your own middle age being consumed by managing somebody else's later life, and why we can feel grief, resentment, loss and love all at once.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appBook a place on my Woodland Wellbeing Day Retreat with Alice Crowe: https://www.alicecroweceramics.co.uk/product/woodland-wellbeing-day-retreat-with-emma-reed-turrell-alice-croweSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

The Amish Inquisition welcomes back the incomparable Bob Osborne — artist, writer, rebel, and chronicler of Britain's wild fringe — to talk about his new autobiography, Be Lucky. Born into a lineage of gypsy rag‑and‑bone men, convicts, and misfits, Bob's story is a riotous journey through the underbelly of British life. From horse‑and‑cart totting in Notting Hill Gate to living in a cave in Crete, from Queen Victoria's giant bodyguard uncle to punk‑era art and taboo humour, Osborne's world is stitched together with grit, wit, and surreal defiance. In this episode we explore:

The book of Titus is an epistle (letter) written by Paul the apostle to Titus, a leader of a growing church movement in Crete. Titus has before him the task of appointing leaders and elders in several towns. But what is the qualification of a leader or elder? What doctrine should those leaders learn and apply? And how can a believer be ready for every good work?   Titus is filled with so much that will help you as a follower of Jesus, whether you are a leader, a leader of leaders, or someone looking to live for God with intentionality in a new way. Join Jerry as he dives into this letter to Titus, and helps you see how you can apply this book in your life today.   You can also take your daily Bible reading to another level with The New Testament Daily with Jerry Dirmann—so grab your Bible and let's get started!  « FREE MEDIA LIBRARY » To listen to or download more teachings from Jerry and others from Solid Lives ministries, visit our new media library at: https://app.jesusdisciple.com/jesus-way/media-library « THE NEW TESTAMENT DAILY PODCAST » https://thenewtestamentdailywithjerrydirmann.buzzsprout.com « SOLID LIVES » Find out more about the ministries of Jerry Dirmann and Solid Lives at https://www.solidlives.com/  « SUPPORT » You can help us get free resources like this out to more people.

2619 - The Bearded Bible Brothers begin their most challenging quest yet, as they lay the groundwork for the Seed Wars prophesied in Genesis 3:15. To unlock the mystery of Mount Eden, the brothers ascend the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, then hop a plane to Crete to climb Mount Ida.

OpenAI and Thrive Holdings built Tax AI, a Codex-powered agent that helps prepare complex tax returns while preserving evidence for accountant review. In this episode, Corey and Grant talk with OpenAI's John de Wasseige and Arthur Fernandes Araujo about how expert corrections become structured signals, how Codex turns repeated failures into evals and scoped engineering tasks, and why the best AI deployments still need humans close to the work. They also dig into what this pattern could mean for bookkeeping, audits, IT help desks, and other expert workflows where the system can measure what “right” looks like.Relevant links:OpenAI Tax AI case study: https://openai.com/index/building-self-improving-tax-agents-with-codex/OpenAI Codex: https://openai.com/codex/Harness engineering: https://openai.com/index/harness-engineering/Thrive Holdings: https://www.thriveholdings.com/Crete: https://www.cretepa.com/Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.ai

Welcome back to Dial Emma, and to our new miniseries, The Truth. This week, we're exploring the uncomfortable truths about success, that most of us are feeling but not saying out loud.Our listener is 44 and finally has the life that she spent the last decade working towards - a long marriage, healthy children, a senior job, a nice house. So why does it feel like a trap, instead of a victory? And how do we find ourselves living a life that we thought we wanted, but that constantly demands things of us?In this episode, Emma explores the shame that we attach to feelings of dissatisfaction with a life that looks objectively desirable, the midlife audit that many of us go through in our 40s and 50s, and why building a 'successful' life and one that aligns with who you are, are not always identical projects.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appBook a place on my Woodland Wellbeing Day Retreat with Alice Crowe: https://www.alicecroweceramics.co.uk/product/woodland-wellbeing-day-retreat-with-emma-reed-turrell-alice-croweSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Welcome back to Dial Emma, and to our new miniseries, The Truth. This week, we're exploring the uncomfortable, illicit truths about relationships, that we often feel like we aren't supposed to say out loud.Our listener is 34 and getting married in eight weeks, to a wonderful man who everyone in her life loves. So why is she waking up at 4am, convinced that she can't go through with it?This is a dilemma that gets to the heart of relationship doubts, why we experience them, and how we can tell the difference between fear of commitment and intuition trying to get our attention.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Hear about travel to Western Crete as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jonty Crane from jontytravels.com about his hiking adventure around the villages and in the mountains of the largest Greek island. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Why should you visit Western Crete? Jonty says, "Crete is a diverse Greek island, home to excellent hiking, dramatic gorges, atmospheric villages, epic coastlines, and ancient history." Jonty spent around a week hiking in western Crete, village walks in the north, the White Mountains in the center, and along the south coast. He did a self-guided trip with the Natural Adventure and their local operator, S-Cape. They organize the logistics, including accommodation, bag transfers, and provide GPS walking routes. Many of the sights can be seen without hiking, though, in fewer days with a car. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-western-crete/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of In Divine Flow, Jasmin shares the deeper story behind the creation of the Mom Power Circle and opens up about one of the biggest realizations she has had since becoming a mother. She speaks honestly about the unique challenges conscious mothers face when they are not only raising children, but also building businesses, following their purpose, healing themselves, and trying to create a life that feels aligned with their values. Recorded from Crete, Greece, this episode is both grounding and empowering for conscious mompreneurs who often find themselves caught between motherhood, personal growth, spirituality, and entrepreneurship. Jasmin reflects on her own journey through women's circles, business masterminds, motherhood, healing, and conscious living, and why she felt called to create a space specifically for mothers who are walking a similar path. Through personal stories, vulnerable reflections, and practical insights, she explores: * why motherhood is one of the greatest spiritual initiations * the invisible challenges conscious mompreneurs face * balancing motherhood, business, healing, and personal growth * why many mothers feel misunderstood or unsupported * the importance of finding like-minded women * creating community instead of doing everything alone * conscious entrepreneurship and aligned success * navigating personal transformation through motherhood * intuition, self-trust, and spiritual growth * the role of support during difficult seasons * why connection can accelerate healing and growth * creating a life and business that honors your values * the power of being seen, heard, and understood * why conscious mothers need spaces designed for their reality This episode is a reminder that you do not have to carry everything alone. You do not have to figure everything out by yourself. And you do not have to choose between being a conscious mother and following your purpose. There is space for both. Jasmin also shares the vision behind the Mom Power Circle, a supportive space for conscious mothers who desire deeper connection, spiritual growth, guidance, and community while navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship. ✨ The Mom Power Circle is now open. If you feel called to join us, you can find all the details through the link in Jasmin's Instagram bio.

Witness Weekly | WW001 | Kickoff Episode!0:00 Intro0:15 Mario Andrew – News6:26 Discussion of the Week21:05 James St Simon – Book & Film Recommendations / Review26:28 Michael – Redlines (Philosophy & Politics)30:25 Jeremy Jeremiah – Viewer Comments & Questions“Smells and bells” vs “bare walls” misses the point. We debate beauty, Scripture, continuity, and why people say they met God at the Divine Liturgy.A bishop detained under murky circumstances. A fresh call for Orthodox unity a decade after the Council of Crete. A study that claims part of a papal encyclical reads like it was AI assisted. We kick off the first Witness Weekly by moving fast through the headlines, then slowing down where it matters: what these moments reveal about religious freedom, public pressure on clergy, and the real stakes for Christians trying to live faithfully in a tense political climate.We launch Witness Weekly with Orthodox news, a deep dive on why evangelicals convert to Orthodoxy, and a candid look at how rhetoric and assumptions can flatten real theological differences. We close with Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, a challenge to political fixes for evil, and listener questions on worship music, conversion, and parish life.• Metropolitan Hilarion's detention in Lithuania and why prayer for clergy matters• Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's renewed call for Orthodox unity and what changed since Crete• A study suggesting AI assisted writing in a papal encyclical and where the line might be• Archbishop Elpidophoros' hospitalization and continued prayers for his recovery• Common conversion motives and why “aesthetics only” is an unfair summary• Purgatory as a Roman Catholic doctrine and why Orthodoxy gets mislabeled• Institutional continuity versus doctrinal continuity and how Reformers argued their case• The catechumen process as evidence that conversion is usually slow and deliberate• Book of the week The Brothers Karamazov and why it speaks to believers and skeptics• The problem of evil, the Grand Inquisitor, and the limits of political solutions• Listener comment on worship music, tradition, standards, and Christian art• Advice for Protestants navigating hard conversations when exploring OrthodoxyPlease let us know your thoughts in the commentsFrom there, we take on a question we keep seeing everywhere: why are evangelicals converting to Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy? We challenge the lazy take that people switch churches because they got dazzled by “smells and bells” or seduced by a vague sense of history. We talk about the long, prayerful process most converts go through, the catechumen journey, and the way outsiders often lump Orthodoxy and Catholicism together, especially around doctrines like purgatory. We also dissect the rhetoric behind “continuity” claims, including how Reformers like John Calvin argued they were the true heirs of the ancient Church.We pivot into culture and formation with our book of the week, The Brothers Karamazov, and why Dostoevsky still feels uncomfortably current. We connect the problem of evil, the Grand Inquisitor's political temptation, and the hard truth that there is no ideology that can substitute for personal responsibility and repentance. Finally, we respond to listener comments on worship music, tradition, and standards, and we offer practical advice for Protestants navigating difficult conversations while exploring Orthodoxy. Can worship music be “frozen in time” and still alive? We respond to a tough listener critique, talk standards, lyrics, and the difference between church worship and Christian art.

Today, we are discussing a cultural observation from my recent trip to Europe and what it revealed about entitlement, helplessness, and personal responsibility. We'll explore the difference between advocating for yourself and expecting the world to meet your expectations, why victim mentality may be a bigger threat than politics or technology, and how taking ownership of your happiness is the first step toward building the life you want.

The Royal Navy's success in turning back the German invasion convoys in the waters north of Crete on the night of May 21st removed the threat of a seaborne landing, but it could not undo the damage done by Commander Freyberg's obsession with that very threat. This episode examines how Freyberg's misreading of Ultra intelligence about the 5th Mountain Division led him to hoard troops along the coast and withhold artillery from targets plainly visible in front of them, all while the Germans steadily expanded their grip on Maleme airfield. The doomed Allied counter-attack of May 22nd — delayed until daylight, shattered by German fighters before it could reach the runway — marks the decisive turning point of the battle. With General Julius Ringel arriving to assume command and concentrate all German effort on driving east from Maleme, the British began their retreat toward Galatas, conceding any chance of recovering the airfield. Meanwhile, at Rethymno and Heraklion, Allied forces were holding on and even turning German supply drops to their own advantage — a stark contrast to the unraveling situation in the west that sets the stage for the final collapse.

Then travel writer Mark Adams describes his 3,000-mile voyage along the coasts of Alaska to follow what the Harriman Expedition saw in 1899. And a Dutch biologist explains how urban evolution is happening faster than we used to think all over the world.

As the first day of the German invasion of Crete drew to a close on May 20th, 1941, neither side held the clear advantage they had hoped for — the Germans had failed to secure their primary objectives, while the British commander General Freyberg struggled with poor communications and an overriding fear of a seaborne invasion that would shape his decisions in the days ahead. This episode examines the Royal Navy's critical role in the battle for Crete, exploring both the strengths and significant weaknesses of Admiral Cunningham's fleet — including the limitations of their anti-aircraft systems against the Luftwaffe — and the aggressive positioning of British naval forces north of the island to intercept German supply convoys. The episode then covers two pivotal naval engagements: the night interception of the 1st Motor Sailing Flotilla by British cruisers and destroyers, which turned back the first German reinforcement convoy with the loss of at least eight vessels and 327 men, and the pursuit of the Sagittario convoy on May 22nd, which drew British ships northward into withering Luftwaffe attack and resulted in the loss of the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji, the Warspite damaged, and over a thousand sailors killed — a day that demonstrated both the courage and the cost of the Royal Navy's commitment to holding Crete.

The first day of the German airborne invasion of Crete, May 20th, 1941, saw paratroopers drop not only around the critical airfield at Maleme but across three other sectors of the island. Near Chania, German forces landing in Prison Valley were held in check by New Zealand and Greek troops under Colonel Kippenberger, while the poorly armed 8th Greek Regiment stopped their attackers and then re-equipped itself with captured German weapons. The people of Crete themselves joined the resistance from the opening hours, with priests and civilians taking up arms in a fierce defense that shattered German assumptions that the islanders would welcome their arrival. In the afternoon a second wave of drops struck Rethymno and Heraklion, where the delays caused by aircraft damage and dust on the airfields spread the descending paratroopers out over a long window, making them easy targets for Allied gunners and leaving the survivors scattered and disorganized. At Rethymno, Australian commander Lieutenant Colonel Ian Campbell responded with quick, decisive counterattacks that became a model of how to meet an airborne assault, capturing the commander of the German 2nd Parachute Rifle Regiment along with his full operational orders. At Heraklion the Germans fared no better, achieving none of their objectives. As night fell on May 20th, General Student faced the unsettling reality that across every landing zone his forces had been checked, and he was forced to make a fateful decision about whether to double down or abandon the entire operation.

Saudi Arabia will withdraw its multi-billion dollar backing of LIV Golf at the end of the season, plunging the future of the series into further doubt. LIV was formed as a breakaway from the longstanding PGA tour, offering large sums to lure away some of golf's top players. The move was always seen as controversial - human rights groups accused Saudi Arabia of using sports sponsorship to distract from its poor human rights record. LIV says it hopes to attract new sponsors, though it's not clear who might be able to match the billions which Saudi Arabia's oil wealth had made available. Also: Relations between the US and Germany are tested over the war in Iran as President Trump and Chancellor Merz criticise one another; pro-Palestinian activists say at least 22 boats from a flotilla carrying aid for Gaza have been intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters near the Greek island of Crete; China introduces new restrictions on the use of drones, which include a near- total ban on flying them in Beijing; and a DNA study offers new clues on the fall of Ancient Rome.
