Helen Watson is a traveller, writer, and conservationist based in the Scottish Highlands. Born in Scotland and raised in Switzerland, she has always been drawn to adventures that are both physically and culturally challenging. In 2009, shortly after completing her PhD, Helen and her husband Ed set off on an extraordinary bicycle journey from Scotland to China. Over the course of a year, they cycled 15,000 kilometres across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and China, following sections of the ancient Silk Road and relying on paper maps, curiosity, and the kindness of strangers. The journey took them through countries including Syria, Iran, and the Central Asian 'Stans', where they experienced incredible hospitality and forged meaningful connections with people from vastly different cultures and backgrounds. The trip would later inspire Helen's first book, Tea and Grit: A Bicycle Journey along the Silk Road, published in January 2026. In this episode, Helen shares the spark behind the adventure, the logistics of planning a long-distance cycle journey, and the realities of life on the road. We discuss what it means to become comfortable with discomfort, the privileges and challenges of travelling as a woman, and how her experiences in Syria took on a new significance in the years that followed during the refugee crisis. Helen also reflects on the importance of storytelling, why she felt compelled to write her book, and the lessons she has learned from a life shaped by travel, endurance, and human connection. Listen to this episode to hear about cycling 15,000km along the Silk Road, the generosity of people across cultures, and why stepping just outside your comfort zone can lead to the most transformative adventures. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

When most Americans think about moving to Europe, they assume they need to find a European job and convince an employer to sponsor them. But what if you already have enough money to support yourself?In this episode I am breaking down everything you need to know about passive income and retirement visas for Europe in 2026.Here is what we are covering:What actually counts as passive income for immigration purposes and what does notA country by country breakdown of the best European options including Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Croatia, and MaltaThe minimum income requirements for each country ranked from lowest to highestWhat to do if your income is mostly savings rather than a monthly amountThe critical difference between a passive income visa and a digital nomad visaWhat documents you will typically need to applyWhy healthcare and taxes are the two things most people completely overlookThe 8 biggest mistakes people make with these visas5 questions to ask yourself before choosing a countryAnd the big question I want to leave you with today is this. Instead of asking how can I make enough money to move abroad, ask yourself could the money I have already built be enough to give me a life abroad?You might be surprised by the answer.

Alex uses the latest season of Outer Banks as a case study in what happens when streaming economics collide with geographic authenticity. After noticing that supposedly Spanish and Mediterranean locations look suspiciously like Croatia, he digs into why productions consolidate filming in places like Dubrovnik—and how tax incentives, production infrastructure, and cost-cutting can turn entire countries into interchangeable backdrops. Along the way, Alex compares Outer Banks with Below Deck Mediterranean, reflects on Game of Thrones-driven tourism, and explores the strange relationship between entertainment, economics, and the places audiences think they're seeing.

Monitor engineer Kevin “KG” Glendinning joins you live from a Roman amphitheater in Pula, Croatia: eight countries in seven days into the Lorde world tour…and he’s got the receipts. You’ll hear how fifteen trips through the SNL stage started with a Carson Daly taping, why the rooms that treat you well are the rooms you remember, and what happens when a 32-year veteran finally plugs in a source expander and realizes the “new guys” were right. That’s the through-line: always be learning, always be open-minded, and never let a get-off-my-lawn attitude about new tech be the reason your phone stops ringing. Then it gets into the real in-ear monitor conversations: recreating a Celestion cab with a 2.6mm armature, the one-ear trick that quietly costs Adam Levine and John Mayer another 25% of volume, and why ear fatigue deserves the same respect a pitcher gives his arm. The road stories land hard from there. Super Bowl XLV in Dallas with snow, the Black Eyed Peas, and a lesson in letting the pros run their own show. Red Rocks (aka “Wet Rocks”) and why a mountain full of shuttle trucks is worth every minute. A locked-up console mid-residency and telling Christina Aguilera the audio will come back, all while genuinely hoping it would. A charter plane struck by lightning over the Amazon, an emergency landing at a decommissioned airfield, and waking up to the news about Taylor Hawkins. Plus the covert phone call that became seven years with Justin Timberlake, and the soft ask years earlier that made it happen. Rehearse enough that nerves turn into muscle memory, thank the people who opened doors for you, ask for the gig you want…and Always Be Performing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 549 – Monday, August 31st, 2026 August 31st: Eat Outside Day Guest co-host: Kevin Glendinning 00:02:38 Pula, Croatia. 8 countries in 7 days 00:04:36 SNL stage for The Deftones with the Carson Daly show 00:06:20 Making an impression on touring musicians with 00:08:35 Always be learning about the new tech Learning from the “new” guys Neve 5045 Primary Source Expander Waves PSE Plugin Digico Mustard Source Enhancer 00:13:55 Always be open-minded 00:18:57 Mixing ears and the respect of it all 00:21:02 Chris Rabold mixing monitors for REM 00:22:06 Now some REM stories 00:24:23 Helping get Adam Levine & John Mayer through ear fatigue with one ear monitor 00:26:46 OzFest System Engineers and hearing fatigue 00:27:45 Sometimes it just doesn't sound right 00:30:44 Super Bowl in 2011 in Dallas…with snow!

Tyler Dabo shares the story behind his personal and professional journey, with a recurring emphasis on becoming a well-rounded person rather than simply a successful entrepreneur.The conversation begins with Tyler describing his philosophy of competing in every area of life while maintaining perspective. For him, professional success means little if it comes at the expense of his family. He wants his children to remember him as a father who was present, involved in their lives, and someone they would want to spend time with—even potentially work alongside someday.Tyler then traces his entrepreneurial instincts back through his family history. His grandfather left Croatia as a young man, eventually building businesses in California through hard work, sacrifice, and risk. Visiting his grandfather's birthplace gave Tyler a new appreciation for the courage and character that had been passed down through his family.That theme of taking calculated risks appears repeatedly throughout Tyler's life. One pivotal example came when he was playing football at Dixie College but realized he still wanted to play baseball. Despite missing the baseball tryouts, he walked onto the field, approached the coach, and earned an opportunity to play. That decision eventually led to baseball becoming a major part of his college experience and opening the door to professional scouting.Another major crossroads came when Tyler was faced with the possibility of being drafted into professional baseball while simultaneously feeling called to serve a mission. He ultimately chose the mission, despite being warned that returning to baseball afterward would be difficult. Looking back, he considers that sacrifice one of the best decisions of his life because of the experiences and relationships that followed.Faith becomes an important part of the conversation. Tyler describes praying about the mission decision and feeling a powerful sense of clarity and responsibility. He also discusses his experience serving as a bishop while raising a young family and how that experience changed the way he viewed other people. He learned that virtually everyone is carrying something difficult and that leadership requires patience, compassion, humility, and a willingness to recognize one's own imperfections.The conversation then shifts toward entrepreneurship. Tyler explains how his career in publishing exposed him to some of Utah's most successful business leaders and ultimately inspired him to leave a comfortable job and build something of his own. The most intense entrepreneurial story involves Pure Infusion. Tyler and his partners entered healthcare without previous experience in the industry, built the company around being "patient obsessed," and grew it into a large network of ambulatory infusion centers.Ultimately, Tyler says the greatest reward isn't necessarily the financial result. It's the building—solving problems, working through adversity, improving the process, and watching something grow. He connects this to a lesson from one of his baseball coaches: "putting the hay in the barn." The work you do consistently becomes the preparation that allows you to perform when the moment arrives.The episode closes with Tyler's challenge to listeners: do the thing that's been sitting in the back of your mind. Take the risk. Act on inspiration. Solve problems. And, perhaps most importantly, don't postpone happiness until some future achievement. Find joy in the process now.CONNECT WITH TYLER DABOLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerdabo/ Website - https://buildcapitalpartners.com/ and  https://pureinfusion.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tylerdabo/ LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE “YOUR LIFE LEGACY PODCAST”*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-life-legacy-podcast/id1740167449 *YouTube Podcasts - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast

Annie Yatch is the Chief Transformation Officer at Northstar Leadership, helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives break through subconscious patterns that limit their leadership potential and financial success. With over 15 years of experience guiding leaders through transformative change, Annie combines elite performance strategies with deep neurological and emotional intelligence work to fast-track personal and professional breakthroughs.   Annie's unique methodology connects the dots between unresolved trauma, leadership performance, and business growth. By identifying blind spots in the subconscious and rewiring neural pathways, she helps clients achieve remarkable results in their businesses and lives.   Connect with Annie Yatch: Website: reinventionxo.com Instagram: @reinventionxo.annie LinkedIn: Annie Yatch   Episode Summary:   In this episode, Lyndsay Dowd welcomes back Annie Yatch — a former Defense Intelligence Agency-affiliated counter-terrorism analyst turned subconscious pattern-breaking expert for high-achieving entrepreneurs. Annie shares her unconventional path from government intelligence work to leading anti-piracy operations alongside Navy SEALs, and finally to building a methodology that helps entrepreneurs identify and dissolve the subconscious blocks capping their income, leadership, and relationships.   The conversation dives deep into why willpower alone is an unreliable strategy for growth, how an unregulated nervous system silently limits revenue, and why a spouse or partner can become either an entrepreneur's greatest asset or their greatest liability. Annie also shares candid stories from her own 15-year marriage to a Navy SEAL, client success stories involving multi-million-dollar breakthroughs, and what she's building next — including her group coaching program, The Authority Shift, and an upcoming women's retreat in Croatia.   Key Takeaways:   - Willpower runs out. - Your nervous system can cap your income. - Home life impacts business. - Instability comes from feeling unseen. - Not everyone should be an entrepreneur.   Episode Chapters:   00:00 — Intro: Three things you'll learn in this episode 00:40 — Welcome to Heartbeat for Hire 00:55 — Introducing Annie Yatch 01:32 — Annie's origin story: from CIA rejection to finding her purpose 02:20 — What is the DIA?

Day 1,636.Today, in a blistering attack on his former boss, ousted Ukrainian defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has taken aim at President Zelensky, calling out government corruption and a governance system “in crisis” and calling for fresh elections. It comes as Zelensky's new defence minister is endorsed by parliament, but also as Ukraine's national anti-corruption body launches dawn raids on a “high-ranking official” in the president's office.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (8.17) Mark Thompson is officially off the market after a low-key wedding to Courtney, just the two of them after years of “road-testing” the relationship and a pre-wedding trip to England and her ancestral Croatia. He also shared close calls with phones and toilets, while Timmy bought a new phone and discovered the UAG Dryout Pouch that actually pulls moisture out better than the old bag of rice. Newlywed life is already treating Mark well (his favorite perk so far is that the new Mrs. Thompson left for four days to visit her sister), Arsenio Hall’s top solo-home privilege is the open-door poop, and in Big Bear, Jackie’s widower Shadow may already be moving on with a young eagle named KD1 as a memorial for Jackie is still being planned. The hour wrapped with a lucky Burbank listener winning Chargers vs. 49ers tickets plus a $100 Graze Craze gift card, plus the wild coincidence that Mark’s wedding landed on the exact one-year anniversary of Foosh’s near-death car crash.

The Space Show Presents Lisa La Bonte, Sunday, 8-2-26.Quick summaryThe Sunday Space Show featured Lisa LaBonte discussing the rapid growth of national space agencies worldwide, with approximately 90 countries now having space programs primarily in emerging and developing markets. LaBonte presented data showing how these agencies are focused on using space for economic development, infrastructure building, and addressing national needs rather than pursuing prestige missions. The discussion covered how these emerging space nations are collaborating with established programs like China's lunar missions, using services like Starlink for connectivity, and developing their own launch capabilities. Participants explored topics including IP protection challenges for foreign investors, the role of STEM education in these countries, and how political risks affect business opportunities. The conversation also touched on cultural differences in how failure is perceived in different countries and the varying levels of public interest in space exploration.Detailed Summary:The conversation focused on space agencies, where Lisa explained that approximately 80-90 countries have space agencies, including both national agencies and international consortiums like ESA. Lisa presented on the growth of national space agencies, highlighting how these agencies have expanded exponentially in emerging markets over the past decade. She explained that these space programs serve as economic development tools, providing infrastructure, connectivity, and job opportunities, particularly in Africa where they are transformational rather than just supportive of growth. Lisa noted significant international collaborations emerging, including a first-of-its-kind partnership between the African Space Agency and China for lunar exploration at the South Pole.Our guest discussed the growing global space economy, noting that most countries are embracing private enterprises for economic development rather than state-driven approaches, with some implementing startup contests and incubators. STEM education was brought up by telling us how it is being integrated into school systems in various countries, with Bahrain specifically highlighting this initiative. Lisa emphasized that while space programs are driven by national goals rather than profit motives, they are building infrastructure that will eventually support economic development and generate revenue through tax dollars and other funding sources.Lisa provided a detailed overview of space activities across different continents, focusing on Africa as an example where countries like Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria are engaging in various space applications including Earth observation, agriculture monitoring, and communications. Dr. Ajay raised concerns about declining U.S. interest in space compared to growing interest in emerging markets, questioning how to participate in these opportunities. Our guest responded that while U.S. space interest may be declining, NASA remains influential globally and emerging markets like the UAE have significant budgets, noting a $34 billion total budget for UAE space initiatives.We discussed how political competition between nations, particularly between the US and China, does not significantly impact space collaboration, as countries prioritize their national space program goals over political alliances. She provided examples of countries like UAE working with both US and Chinese programs simultaneously and noted that developing nations are primarily focused on establishing sovereign space capabilities rather than relying on others. She also explained that many developing and emerging nations are currently using Starlink for satellite connectivity, though the long-term strategy for building their own satellite capabilities remains uncertain.Lisa emphasized that the US needs to recognize it is not the only player in the space industry and should collaborate with emerging and developing nations. He noted that countries like China and India have been active in space for some time, and China has been particularly engaged in infrastructure development in Africa through initiatives like the Belt and Road. Lisa expressed hope that NASA would leverage its global reputation to partner with these nations, particularly given that over 60 countries have signed up for the Artemis Accords. The discussion also touched on the potential for space-based solar power and AI integration in these countries' space programs, though Carnegie admitted he was not an expert on these topics.Dr. Ajay inquired about Saudi Arabia's space initiatives following his recent visit. The group discussed how emerging nations are approaching space, explaining that while human spaceflight is a goal for many countries, most are still in early stages and focusing on basic satellite launches rather than aggressive defense programs. Lisa advised that any space investment should prioritize strong IP protection mechanisms and legal frameworks in the target country, noting that UAE lacks adequate IP protection despite its space activities. The discussion concluded with Joe raising a question about whether national space programs could generate national pride and encourage youth interest in engineering and technical fields.We talked about the varying levels of engineering talent across different countries, particularly highlighting robust STEM education in Saudi Arabia and UAE due to their oil and gas industries. He explained that while these countries produce skilled engineers, the lack of established infrastructure for protecting intellectual property and supporting technology startups creates challenges for entrepreneurs. It was noted that many talented engineers choose to work in countries with better IP protection and startup support systems, rather than returning to their home countries.Lisa discussed the challenges of political risk in international business, noting that unexpected events like the Arab Spring and recent conflicts with Iran can significantly impact operations. When asked about opportunities in emerging economies versus developed countries and advised that while opportunities exist abroad, young engineers should carefully consider their adaptability and cultural readiness, as many countries prioritize hiring locals first. She emphasized the importance of having strong character and tolerance for ambiguity when considering international opportunities.Lisa advised David that the key factor in deciding whether to pursue an overseas opportunity is not the specific opportunity itself, but rather whether the person can adapt to the cultural and environmental challenges of the destination. She emphasized the importance of having the right personality traits, including fortitude and the ability to get out of one's comfort zone, particularly when dealing with different cultures and potentially difficult working conditions. Lisa shared her own experience working in the Middle East, explaining how she navigated cultural differences as a woman by maintaining professional behavior and dress standards, which helped her be treated with respect in the region.Carnegie discussed cultural attitudes toward animals in different regions, noting that while dogs are considered unclean in some Muslim countries, they are widely loved in Japan. She shared that interest in space exploration, particularly Mars colonization, is limited among people she knows, though SpaceX and Elon Musk are still respected in the Middle East. She explained that failure is perceived differently across cultures, with risk aversion being higher in many countries compared to the Western approach of learning from failures. She revealed that her STEM and space education programs in the Middle East have been successful, particularly in engaging girls in engineering, though she has since shifted focus away from space education due to bureaucratic challenges.The group discussed space programs around the world, with our guest highlighting unexpected space activities in countries like Croatia and Romania, particularly noting Romania's satellite program driven by educational institutions rather than government agencies. Lisa explained that budget constraints and existing partnerships with established space agencies like SpaceX make it unlikely for countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE to develop their own reusable rockets. The conversation also covered her current location in the US due to weather conditions in Saudi Arabia, and plans for future meetings with participants in locations like Las Vegas.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentWe use Zoom phone numbers for program participation.For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

To be “born with a veil” (or caul) was once regarded as far more than an unusual circumstance of birth. Being born with a caul—a portion of the amniotic membrane adhering to a newborn's head or face—is exceedingly rare, but across centuries of European folklore it has been interpreted as a visible mark of destiny. Those born with one might be exceptionally lucky, possess healing powers or second sight, or enjoy supernatural protection. In darker traditions, however, the same sign could mark a future witch, vampire, or uncanny wanderer between worlds. We  begin with a quoted passage from Stephen King’s The Shining, in which it’s revealed that the psychically gifted boy, Danny, is born with a veil and then go on to explore the colorful vocabulary once used to describe the caul. Across Europe, the membrane was imagined as a cap, hood, helmet, veil, cloak, or even a “shirt.” Such expressions as the Scottish “sely hoo,” or blessed hood, and various European equivalents of “lucky cap” and “victor's cloak” reveal how closely the caul became associated with good fortune. Next, we explore the earliest written references to caul superstition. A fourth-century biography of the short-lived Roman emperor Diadumenian claims that he was born with a strange membrane resembling a diadem. The same source remarks that midwives sold preserved cauls to lawyers who believed they would bring success in court. Medieval clerical writings likewise condemn officials who carried cauls as charms to silence their opponents. From there, the episode turns to the long practice of preserving cauls as family treasures. Surviving examples include a fragment enclosed in a locket made for John Monson in 1597 and the caul of King Frederik III, kept in a silver casket in the Danish royal collections. Seventeenth-century wills describe cauls mounted in jeweled gold settings and passed down as heirlooms believed to ensure a family's continuing prosperity. We then address the caul's most famous power: protection from drowning. By the eighteenth century, cauls were carefully dried on paper and sold to sailors. Newspaper advertisements addressed “gentlemen of the Navy” and offered them as proven safeguards for long voyages. Dickens satirized the trade in the opening of David Copperfield, whose caul attracts only one bidder—an attorney offering cash and sherry, but refusing to pay enough to guarantee himself against drowning. Caul kept as sailor’s charm displayed at Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. Mrs. Karswell then shares some amusing 19th-century anecdotes found in the long-running Oxford University publication, Notes and Queries. One report has a caul-bearing child who hild floated like a cork whenever his mother tried to bathe him. Another describes a prognosticating caul that physically transformed in sympathy to events unfolding in the life of the person consulting it. We then travel to Iceland, where fetal membranes were associated with the fylgja, a guardian spirit or external portion of the soul. The afterbirth could not safely be discarded, exposed to animals, or burned, lest the child lose this spiritual companion. Yet the caul's magical potential also made it dangerous: witches were said to use it in love potions, and a seventeenth-century French royal midwife warned her colleagues never to preserve one because sorcerers might obtain it. The episode then moves eastward, where caul folklore grows considerably darker. In Romania and Poland, those born beneath the membrane might be destined to become strigoi or other vampiric beings after death. In Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, however, caul-born men could become supernatural defenders known as Krsniki or Zduhaći. Their spirits left their bodies at night to battle dragons, witches, night-hags, and rival spirit warriors threatening the community's health, weather, and harvest. Next, we encounter their Italian counterparts, the Friulian Benandanti, or “good walkers.” Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century inquisitorial records describe men and women who claimed that everyone born with a caul was summoned in adulthood to fight witches during nocturnal spirit journeys. Their preserved “little shirts” were worn around the neck, blessed with prayers and Masses, and believed to protect soldiers or help lawyers win cases. Finally, we return to the sea with the curious modern discovery of a preserved caul purportedly belonging to a survivor of the the sinking of the Titanic. Its provenance may be uncertain, but the topic at least provides an excuse to close out with a snippet of the uniquely grim yet lighthearted folk song, “When the Great Ship Went Down.”

Hey there, Family Brand OGs and newcomers alike! This week, we're joined by our friend Wayde Elliott, who we had the privilege of meeting this summer while cruising through Croatia with our families. We got to know Wayde and his daughter, Avery, on that trip, and some of the conversations we had together made us realize he had a perspective we haven't shared enough of here on the Family Brand Podcast: what does it look like to intentionally build a strong family when your family doesn't necessarily look the way you once imagined it would? Wayde's story has included some massive changes. After 20 successful years as a dentist, a spinal fusion surgery suddenly took him out of dentistry at nearly the same time he was going through a divorce. He eventually reinvented himself professionally through self-storage and real estate development, but in this conversation, we really wanted to talk about what was happening at home. When Wayde realized his marriage was ending, he made a conscious decision that the divorce didn't have to become destructive. Instead of approaching it from a place of winning or losing, he asked his ex-wife what she wanted and committed to creating the best possible outcome for her, himself, and most importantly, their kids. That decision wasn't always easy, but more than a decade later, Wayde says they still have a good relationship and have been able to remain flexible and supportive as co-parents. We also get into the parts of co-parenting that aren't so simple. What happens when you and your ex have completely different ideas about parenting? How do you respond when a decision in the other household undermines something you're trying to teach in yours? Wayde shares why he's learned to create space before reacting and to pay attention to the meaning he's assigning to an experience. We also talk about the difference between living in what Wayde calls a "suffering state" versus a "beautiful state," and why he's committed to continually becoming a better version of himself. That leads us into one of our favorite parts of the conversation: personal and family core values. Wayde shares his own values—love, learning, abundance, fitness, family, and contribution—and how he uses them as an alignment filter for his life. But maybe the most powerful moment of this episode happened before we ever hit record. During our time together in Croatia, Wayde and Avery had a conversation that changed the way he thought about showing up as her dad. Like a lot of entrepreneurs, Wayde is wired to solve problems—but Avery didn't need him to solve hers. She needed her dad to listen. She told him she wanted more one-on-one time with him, and instead of immediately trying to fix the situation, Wayde sat with her and listened. Since coming home, he's intentionally created more time that's just for the two of them. It's such a simple reminder, but one we all need: sometimes the people we love don't need our solutions. They need our presence. Hit play to hear the full conversation with Wayde! We talk about divorce, co-parenting, fatherhood, ego, forgiveness, personal growth, core values, and what it can look like to choose a beautiful family life even when the original plan changes. P.S.

Legendary and endlessly controversial filmmaker Uwe Boll joins Too Opinionated to talk about his provocative new thriller Citizen Vigilante, starring Armie Hammer. And controversy isn't surrounding this movie — controversy IS part of the story. Citizen Vigilante tackles politically explosive subjects including crime, migration and vigilantism in Europe. Shot in Croatia, the film became an even bigger story when it was refused an age certification in Germany, shifting its initial release focus toward North America. Then Elon Musk promoted the film on X, dramatically expanding its reach and putting Boll right back in the middle of the cultural conversation. And then there's Armie Hammer. We get into why Boll cast Hammer, what he wanted from him as an actor, whether the controversy surrounding his star affected the film, and whether Boll believes audiences should separate an artist's work from the person making it. But with Uwe Boll, Citizen Vigilante is only the beginning. Over a filmmaking career spanning more than three decades, Boll has become one of cinema's most polarizing figures, directing films including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, In the Name of the King, Postal, Rampage, Darfur, Assault on Wall Street and First Shift. After stepping away from directing in 2016, Boll eventually returned to filmmaking—and Citizen Vigilante has brought him renewed international attention. We talk Citizen Vigilante, Armie Hammer, censorship versus classification, Germany's response, Elon Musk, political filmmaking, Hollywood, critics, cancel culture, controversy and why Uwe Boll has never been particularly interested in playing it safe. And Boll apparently isn't finished with this world: after Citizen Vigilante, he said he wanted to pursue a sequel rather than move forward with his planned House of the Dead-related project.

I met Stetson years ago. Orange wine was not a thing. But he was making it a thing. I was intrigued by his commitment to the sector and the develpment of Georgian wine in the US, particularly in Los Angeles. Bringing Stetson Robbins onto this show is like popping the cork on a bottle you've never heard of, from a country you can barely pronounce, and finding it's the most fascinating taste you didn't know you craved. Forget everything you thought you knew about wine, because this conversation isn't about chasing the next California cab or French pinot—this is about tracking the wild, unfiltered edge of the wine world through the forgotten vineyards of Eastern Europe, where tradition, culture, and rebellion ferment side by side. The conversation focused on peeling away the comfort (and sometimes the snobbery) of the usual wine stories and diving deep into what it means for a wine to actually taste like where it's from—right down to the hands, palates, and histories of the people making it. One concept discussed was the big secret of "terroir"—not just dirt, weather, or latitude, but the food, the local tradition, and even the pressures of the market itself. These are wines born not just from grapevines, but from migration, resistance, and centuries of culinary survival. You'll learn how post-Soviet countries like Slovenia, Croatia, and Georgia have turned their backs on cookie-cutter commercial varietals, instead resurrecting their own native grapes and bringing ancient techniques—like wild fermentation in massive underground clay qvevris—right to the glasses of skeptical sommeliers and thirsty Brooklynites alike. A key theme that emerged was that true winemaking is messy, unpredictable, and profoundly human. The discussion explored not only what orange wine actually is (spoiler: it's not fruit salad in a glass), but why it's shaking up wine scenes from coast to coast, frustrating purists and delighting experimenters. Several points were raised, including how even the act of importing these bottles is a full-throttle exercise in grit, luck, and sometimes chaos. This episode will have you questioning everything you thought made a good wine—and craving an adventure, not just a drink.

Pulse of Israel usually is focued solely on Israel, but this about a non-Israel location has a deep connection to Israel and our Jewish story today.In this special episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow takes you on a journey through the breathtaking walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, revealing how a vacation became a powerful reminder of the miracle of modern Israel and why every Jew should appreciate the unique generation in which we live.Beyond the stunning medieval walls, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, sunset kayaking, hidden swimming coves, and one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities lies a remarkable Jewish story spanning nearly 2,000 years. Avi learned how Jewish merchants from the Roman Empire and later Sephardic exiles from Spain and Portugal helped transform Dubrovnik into one of the Mediterranean's greatest commercial centers, connecting Jewish communities across Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire.He visited one of Europe's oldest Sephardic synagogues and learned about the vibrant Jewish community that once flourished there before being nearly destroyed during the Holocaust under the brutal Ustaše regime. Today, only a handful of Jews remain, yet their story carries an important lesson for every Jew alive today.Walking those ancient streets, one realization became impossible to ignore. For almost two thousand years our ancestors ended every Passover Seder and Yom Kippur with the words, "Next year in Jerusalem." They dreamed. They prayed. They waited.We don't have to. Jerusalem is rebuilt. Israel exists. Making aliyah no longer requires a miracle, it simply requires making the decision to come home.As Jew-hating antisemitism rises across much of Western Europe and the growing red-green alliance increasingly threatens Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora, this video's message is not one of fear, but of opportunity. We are the first generation in nearly 2,000 years with the privilege of returning home freely, raising our children in a Jewish state, speaking Hebrew, living according to the Jewish calendar, and helping build the future our ancestors could only dream about.Join Avi as he explores Dubrovnik's beauty, uncovers its forgotten Jewish history, and explains why its greatest lesson ultimately points every Jew toward Jerusalem.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Jamaica qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup is one of those rare moments that people can locate in their body: where they stood, who they were with, what they heard first, and how the whole community sounded afterward. We wanted to honor that feeling, so we built something different this time, a chorus of voices sharing what France ‘98 meant to them in real time and in memory.You'll hear stories of the day qualification became official: the disbelief, the pride, the surprise public holiday, and the way celebration turned roads, yards, bars, and living rooms into an extension of the National Stadium. We talk about the details that statistics cannot hold, like pot covers ringing out for goals, horns blaring through neighborhoods, and the specific kind of unity Jamaicans recognize immediately. It's also a snapshot of how sport shifts culture, from kids dreaming bigger to communities feeling, even briefly, like everyone is moving together.Then we turn to France ‘98 itself: the nerves and hope against Croatia, the tough reality of Argentina, and the joy of Jamaica's first World Cup victory over Japan. We reflect on the national anthem, the Rise Up song that still triggers pride, and the pop culture trail that followed the Reggae Boyz everywhere, right down to jerseys and keepsakes people saved for years. As Jamaica marks 64 years of independence, we also hold space for St. Elizabeth and the wider island recovering after Hurricane Melissa, and why memory can be both a comfort and a call to care for home.Press play, share this with someone who remembers 1997, and then tell us your story: where were you when the Reggae Boyz qualified for France ‘98, and where were you when you learned Curacao or Haiti made history this year?

We live in an age of global mass tourism. Last year, the UN estimated 1.5 billion people travelled to another country. While many places depend on tourism for income and employment, it can come at a significant environmental and social cost.We take a tour of Dubrovnik in Croatia, which has the highest tourists-to-locals ratio in Europe. The city is using perks and penalties to keep both local people and visitors happy. Also we paddle and cycle around Copenhagen in Denmark. They are rewarding eco-friendly actions to encourage better tourist behaviour.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 4 (7.27) When Mark was in London he only saw two people sleeping rough — proof the UK seems to handle homelessness far better than Los Angeles. With LAHSA about to get a massive budget boost, Mayor Karen Bass has some explaining to do about the city’s churn-and-burn homeless industrial complex. Switching gears, has anyone actually seen Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”? Turns out the original story kept changing every time it was told, and one classics professor who translated the source material just shredded Nolan’s film, calling it an absolute stinker. Mark also took his fiancée Courtney on a deep dive into her Croatian roots on the island of Hvar, where her family has lived for 12 generations. She was told no relatives remained… until she actually found them. Mark opens the TalkBacks and the calls are flying — strong opinions on England and The Odyssey — plus a listener tips everyone off to a free app called RunPee that tells you the perfect time to hit the bathroom during a movie without missing key scenes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 3 (7.27) Mark kicks off the hour with a flood of listener TalkBacks — strong opinions flying about England and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. One caller tips everyone off to RunPee, the free app that tells you the perfect moment to duck out for a bathroom break so you don’t miss key scenes (it even rates the dull stretches and warns you about post-credit scenes). Mark downloads it on the air and puts it to the test. He also paints a poetic picture of Croatia, saying the Adriatic country looks a lot like the wizarding world of Harry Potter. In Hollywood news, Tom Holland (also in The Odyssey) is officially the most bankable young star, with his films raking in around $12 billion. Is Covid making a quiet comeback? Up in Big Bear, Jackie the bald eagle is still in the hospital after that brutal gang attack by other eagles, while her mate Shadow appears to be cozying up to one of the attackers. She’s improving but remains in critical condition. And for the free-spirited, Mark rattles off 25 of the world’s best nudist beaches for anyone who prefers to go sans pants. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 2 (7.27) Mark’s getting married in a few days and just returned from a special trip with the love of his life, Courtney, to England and her ancestral homeland of Croatia, where her family history stretches back 500 years. Courtney jumps on the phone to share highlights, including seeing her favorite artist Ludovico Einaudi perform for the 30th time and catching the London theater production “1536” about Henry VIII and the beheaded Anne Boleyn. Swedish pop-rock duo Roxette has canceled their entire US tour, blaming expenses and logistics — though soft ticket sales may have played a role. Mark recently caught a downtown LA band whose singer sounded exactly like Taylor Dayne — only to discover the whole group, including the vocalist, were men in drag performing under the name Transatlantic. In sadder news, iconic “You’re So Vain” singer Carly Simon, 83, is battling both cancer and Parkinson’s disease. The daughter of a Simon & Schuster founder and an activist mother grew up in the Bronx and has become increasingly reclusive as her health declined. And one year after Dolly Parton lost her husband of 60 years, Carl Dean, her brother Coy “Denver” Parton has died at 82. With 12 siblings in the Parton household, it’s no wonder Dolly never had kids of her own. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 1 (7.27) Mark Thompson is in the chair tonight filling in for Tim Conway Jr., who’s off on his Alaska cruise. Mark just touched down hours ago with his soon-to-be wife Courtney from their European vacation to her ancestral homeland of Croatia. They kicked things off in London during a stifling heatwave and even had a theater run-in with the sexy new couple Meryl Streep and Martin Short. Mark only spotted two homeless people the whole time he was in London — so why can’t LA and its homeless industrial complex do better? Has anyone seen “The Odyssey”? The big-screen remake of the classic tale is crushing it at the box office and helping rescue Hollywood. Was it really written by the blind poet Homer? Turns out the story kept changing every time it was told over the centuries. One classics professor who translated the original text that inspired Christopher Nolan’s film just ripped the movie to shreds, calling it an absolute stinker. Meanwhile, big cities are losing kids as families pack up and move to smaller towns — the number of children under 18 in major urban areas has dropped 10% in the past decade, while fertility rates keep falling across the country.
