From Patient to Pioneer: GIL LUXENBOURG Changed MedicalCannabis Forever#realconversations #medicalcannabis #educator #inventor#WIZDOM #CrohnsDiseaseCONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIESHosted by Calvin SchwartzMeet GIL LUXENBOURG. “This interview evolved over the lastmonth.  I knew Gil is a medical cannabispatient, educator, and inventor. Rather brilliant, insightful, and caring. Oursynchronicity. I have a friend, Gaetano Lardieri, who is very much involved inthe cannabis space here in New Jersey. And I do know that the world of cannabisresearch, usage, and societal impacts is changing and evolving every month. AndGil received the 7th medical cannabis license issued by the IsraeliMinistry of Health. His life was dramatically impacted by coming down withCrohn's disease. And how medical cannabis helped him beyond. There is so muchdepth to Gil. He is currently building WIZDOM Coaching Circle for patientswhose medical treatment isn't working. His brilliance helps people with apersonalized protocol. Things we touched on. Patient education. AI and cannabis(fascinating). His US patent is an amazing idea. Guiding 10,000 patients. WIZDOMcoaching. Leadership. Terpenes (the stuff that makes things smell). I used tobe a pharmacist, so some things are within my grasp. But Gil is on anotherlevel. As I told him, I could listen for hours more. So fascinating. And yes,we even talked about the movie ‘Animal House' and the marijuana scene withDonald Sutherland. Maybe the universe is in my thumbnail.”  Calvin

Orbis Pictus: World Affairs in the Visual Digital Era by Dr Vendulka Kubalkova https://www.amazon.com/Orbis-Pictus-Affairs-Visual-Digital/dp/B0H3YQ4MMR Drvkubalkova.com The invention of the movable-type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-1400s represents one of the most significant technological advancements in history. The printing press shaped the modern era by revolutionizing how information was shared and preserved, as well as educational practices. Today, society is entering the Digital Era. Students now grow up with the internet and social media. Research shows that younger generations increasingly prefer audio-visual content, while both students and the general public read for recreation less often. This book introduces an innovative educational format we call a videobook. It offers access to about 135 original online videos, featuring animated presentations that provide a comprehensive introduction to contemporary global issues. The videobook covers a wider range of topics than most university-level International Relations courses. Integrating video content improves accessibility and relevance, addressing the limitations of traditional educational resources. The videos also encourage deeper engagement with philosophy and history. Many universities have yet to fully adopt visualization as a teaching tool, which remains a significant limitation in the Digital Era. This project aims to address that gap. This work is designed primarily for university students but remains accessible to a wider audience. Professor Kubálková holds a JUDr. from Charles University, Czechoslovakia, and a Ph.D. in International Politics from Lancaster University, England. She is also a graduate of the Prague Conservatoire. She currently serves as a Professor of International Studies at the University of Miami in Florida. Her previous appointments include academic positions in England, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as fellowships at the University of Munich, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley. She has served as Assistant Provost for International Studies and Director of the M.A. program in International Administration (MAIA). Since 2016, she has been a Visiting Professor at VSE, University of Economics and Business, Prague. Professor Kubálková is a past President of the International Studies Association South and served for ten years as a trustee of the Social Science Research Foundation Board at the Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver. She co-edited the eight-volume M. E. Sharpe series, “International Relations in a Constructed World,” and was a founding member and co-chair of the ISA section Global International Relations (GIRS). Following years in exile, she received the Jan Masaryk Medal “Pro Amicitia Inter Naciones” for expertise in International Relations and has been inducted into the “Memory of the Nation” of the Czech Republic. Her research, publications, and teaching focus on International Relations theory, Marxism, Constructivism, post-Soviet studies, religion, civilizations, culture in world affairs, non-Western perspectives, pedagogy, and the application of information technology in education. She is the author, among others, of My Path to Global International Relations: An Autobiographical Textbook (2026).

Join us for another episode of Hearts of Oak Podcast, where we're honoured to have the return of Petr Bystron, a Member of the European Parliament representing the Alternative for Germany (AfD), as our guest. In this episode, Petr Bystron gives the background to the AfD's result in Saxony-Anhalt — a win so large, he says, yet the old parties still refuse to govern with them. He walks through the vote, the so-called firewall, Friedrich Merz's deal with the Social Democrats, and why he thinks the CDU has left the ground it held under Helmut Kohl. He also talks about Merz and Trump, Giorgia Meloni in Italy, and where the AfD goes next. Petr Bystron is the highest-ranking foreign politician of the AfD: He has been Chairman of the AfD in the Foreign Committee of the German Bundestag since 2017. Since 2021 he has been the foreign policy spokesman for his party and its representative in the Council of Europe and the Interparliamentary Union (IPU). He was the first AfD politician to be officially received by an incumbent president (Milos Zeman) and the first European to receive the „Eagle Award “ from the conservative US Phyllis Schlafly Foundation. He was born in the USSR, from which he fled to Germany at the age of 16, where he received political asylum. Thirty years later, he faced similar persecution in Bavaria: during the 2017 election campaign, he was subjected to an illegal house search and it was announced that he was being monitored by the Bavarian secret service. In addition to these state reprisals, he is always the target of attacks by left-wing extremists. Petr Bystron is one of the founding members of the AfD. From 2015 to 2017 he was the state leader of the party in Bavaria. He took over the party in a crisis and led it from 3.5% of the vote to the best election result of all western federal states in the 2017 federal election with 12.7%. He founded and headed his party's National Committee for European and Foreign Policy (2013-2015). He studied political science at the University of Politics and the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich and has been working as a journalist for years. His articles on business and politics have been published in renowned daily newspapers and magazines in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Petr is married, has two children and has lived in his constituency of Munich North for more than 30 years.  Interview recorded 10th September 2026 Connect with Petr and The AfD...

With the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup underway in Berlin, Hoopsology brings in freelance women's basketball journalist Eden Laase (The Athletic, Yahoo Sports) for a deep dive into the tournament's biggest storylines — starting with the team many believe is Team USA's most legitimate challenger yet: France. Eden breaks down exactly how France built its current golden generation, pointing to a rare convergence of elite young talent (Dominique Malonga, Pauline Astier, and Carla Leite among them), the country's growing investment in basketball academies like INSEP, and the outsized influence of Gabby Williams — an American-born naturalized French star who brought a new competitive swagger to the program. Eden also credits Marine Johannes with opening the WNBA pipeline for French players despite pushback from the French federation, a decision that's paid off with France entering the knockout rounds a perfect 3-0 and ranked the tournament's second favorite behind the US, according to Eden, just ahead of a talented Belgium team led by Emma Meesseman and Julie Allemand. The two dig into what makes France so dangerous — elite team defense anchored by Defensive Player of the Year candidate Gabby Williams, and a roster that came within a single point of beating Team USA at the Paris 2024 gold medal game — as well as where they're vulnerable: interior size and a reliance on three-point shooting that may not hold up all tournament long. The conversation turns to Team USA, playing without four-time MVP A'ja Wilson, and the very real chemistry questions that surfaced in a shaky group-stage win over Italy before Breanna Stewart stepped up as a go-to scorer against the Czech Republic. Eden explains why the influx of international players into the WNBA has fundamentally changed the psychology of these matchups, with rival national teams no longer intimidated by facing their own WNBA teammates and opponents. From there, the two zoom out to discuss the broader globalization of women's basketball, including the WNBA's international expansion ambitions, Cathy Engelbert's retirement, League Pass making the league accessible worldwide, and the emergence of alternative leagues like Unrivaled and the mysterious Project B. Eden closes with a scouting report on under-the-radar teams to watch, including a surprising Hungary squad and a South Korea team on the rise, before offering casual viewers a simple way to appreciate the tournament: watch how each country's culture shows up in how its team plays.

Arson attacks, air space violations and assassination squads: Those were among the warnings from Poland's Foreign Minister, Radek Sikorski, at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Ireland today. This comes just after Germany announced that it was in fact Moscow behind last month's attack in Leipzig Airport, where an explosive drone was found near two Ukrainian cargo planes. None of this surprises Czech Republic President Petr Pavel, who told us back in April that Putin likely would attempt increasingly bold campaigns against NATO. Pavel joins the show from Prague to discuss.  Also on today's show: Tennessee State Representative Justin J.

The gag order is lifted. For ten months Ted answered "what have you been flying lately?" with a cheerful bunch of nothing, because he had quietly bet everything, sport pilot privileges included, on getting his FAA medical. If you apply and get denied, there is no crawling back to sport. He applied anyway. This week the curse-word-laden victory text went out: Ted has his medical, he is legal PIC again, and by his own math he'll have "probably 12 ratings in the next 60 days."Same week, same show: Ben formally accepted a charter job flying SIC in a Phenom 300. ("It didn't say Chrysler 300. It said Phenom, right?") He says he feels like the dog that's been chasing the school bus and finally caught it, and the chat has already decided his Piston Peasant shirt must be surrendered for a Turbine Tyrant model.Ted then opens the books on how the medical actually got won: five months of preparation before submitting anything, more records than his AME could upload (they faxed the rest), a cash MRI, a concierge neurologist one block off Rodeo Drive with an F1 replica car out front, a congressional inquiry, and a personally logged bill of $21,000. Disclaimer on disclaimer on disclaimer: that was Ted's very specific situation, not a recipe. Talk to AOPA Medical Services, Wingman Med, a HIMS AME, anybody but us.Also aboard: Mark, officially the fourth host ("the fifth wheel... it's really nice for redundancy"), is off to build airplanes in the Czech Republic, which Brian was reminded has not been called Czechoslovakia for quite some time. Brian pulled the power at 10,500 feet over a very hot Tennessee and glided Lucy all the way home ("the Icarus approach," per the chat).

Most rejected picture book and middle grade manuscripts aren't turned down because they're bad — they're turned down because an editor has already seen five just like them. Susan Marston, the new editorial director of Albatros Books' US expansion (and former 25-year editorial director of the Junior Library Guild), joins us to lay out exactly what's landing on her acquisitions list right now — and what's already been done to death.We talk about why Albatros — the largest publisher in the Czech Republic — is betting big on the American market, what makes a manuscript feel "irresistible" to an editor who's read literally thousands of submissions, and why she thinks the industry needs way more funny books, shorter word counts, and readers who aren't just "a boy and a girl who are best friends." Susan also gets specific about the exact gaps she's trying to fill: mysteries that go beyond the Sherlock-and-sidekick formula, horror-lite for middle grade, memoir, magical realism, and chapter books that actually try something new.If you write for kids, this is the episode where an active acquiring editor tells you, out loud, what she wants to see land in her inbox.In this episode:Why Albatros Books chose now to expand into the US marketWhat "fun nonfiction" means as an acquisitions strategyThe gap in chapter books Susan is actively trying to fillWhy humor is one of the hardest — and most underrated — things to acquireHer take on the "boy and girl best friends" trope in middle grade, and why it's fadingWhy she'd take a great 200-page book over another 400-page epic any dayWhere to send your submission (and what she's hoping lands in that inbox)Submissions: Albatros Books is actively acquiring picture books and chapter books from North American authors.

I never thought I'd go through an intimate therapy session on my podcast… and I just did…! Helena Andrejko is a wise therapist, anthropologist and writer whose work examines how the architecture of monetary systems, fiat and Bitcoin alike, shapes human perception, behaviour and our sense of sovereignty. Born in the Czech Republic and raised under communism, she lives in Sydney, Australia where she practises as a therapist specialising in trauma. We discuss her recent keynote, "Bitcoin Cures Stockholm Syndrome", which analyzes the monetary system and maps the symptoms of an abusive relationship directly onto fiat. We also dive deep into trust, decentralizing the mind, and Helena's upcoming new book.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Wolf Week continues as Sidey, Dan and new dad Jamie sink their teeth into Martin Scorsese's riotous financial crime epic The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau and Joanna Lumley. With Reegs absent and therefore no proper intro to keep things vaguely professional, the dads begin by catching up on what they've been watching. Dan has largely swapped screen time for Cold War spy histories while his wife is away in the Czech Republic for the summer, Jamie has returned to the comforting embrace of Blue Bloods, No Offence and Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and Sidey has endured Jason Statham's Mutiny, a revenge-on-a-boat action thriller with suspiciously Die Hard-adjacent poster energy. The Top 5 this week is Wolves, which naturally sends the conversation roaming all over the cultural wilderness. There's Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction, Moro from Princess Mononoke, Teen Wolf and the obvious sporting advantage of being Michael J. Fox with werewolf powers, plus Shrek's Big Bad Wolf and a detour through wolf-related music from Warren Zevon, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Duran Duran, Howlin' Wolf, Steppenwolf, Los Lobos, Wolfmother and Wolf Alice. Liam Neeson's miserable survival odds in The Grey get a mention, as do Bad Wolf and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who, Jack Nicholson in Wolf, Remus Lupin, Dances with Wolves, Portia Crystal from Sing 2, Lupine Howl, the direwolves from Game of Thrones, How Wolves Change Rivers, Rainier Wolfcastle and Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then it's on to The Wolf of Wall Street, a film the dads note is arriving neatly alongside Jersey's current Martin Scorsese cinema season. They follow Jordan Belfort from his first day as Wall Street pond scum through Matthew McConaughey's career-rescuing lunch scene of coke, booze,chest-thumping and “rookie numbers”, before Black Monday promptly ends any chance of a respectable finance career. From there it's penny stocks, Spike Jonze, 50% commissions and the arrival of Donnie Azoff, whose cousin-wife logic, blinding white teeth and crack-pipe networking help turn Stratton Oakmont into a full-blown fraud machine. Along the way, the dads dig into the film's most notorious moments: the “sell me this pen” lesson, motivational speeches, middle fingers to clients, dwarf tossing, strippers, head shaving, Rob Reiner as Belfort's furious father, Margot Robbie's Naomi making her entrance, Donnie's appalling first impression, the famous 11-second romance, Vegas excess, penicillin shots and a superyacht wedding present. They also cover Kyle Chandler's FBI agent Patrick Denham closing in, Jon Favreau's lawyer trying desperately to make Jordan stop, the Steve Madden IPO, hidden stock ownership, Joanna Lumley's Aunt Emma and the Swiss bank account, plus Jordan's spectacularly arrogant attempt to bribe the FBI with lobster, prostitutes and absolutely no self-awareness. The review also takes in the yacht storm and Italian rescue, the infamous Lemmon Quaaludes sequence with crawling, ham-choking and the destroyed Lamborghini reveal, Jordan wearing a wire while warning Donnie not to incriminate himself, and the ugly final collapse as Naomi demands a divorce, Jordan turns violent and everything finally crashes. By the end, the dads are left wrestling with prison, sales seminars and the uncomfortable question of whether the film really works as a cautionary tale, or whether it is simply too entertaining for its own good. Verdicts are strong across the board. Sidey recommends it, while still insisting it is far too long. Dan also gives it a strong recommend, particularly for the endlessly quotable scenes, and Jamie calls it a must-watch — although preferably consumed as three one-hour chunks rather than one enormous sitting.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

One of the newest breweries in Ontario (at the time of recording) is Prince Edward County's Aurum. Meaning "gold" in Latin, their slogan "Drink Gold" is incredibly appropriate for a brewery that focuses mostly on German and Czech-style Lagers and Ales. Co-Founder and Head Brewer Prat joined Cee and Nate to chat about his eclectic beer history - from India to Ontario, how he met his Co-Founder Joe and how they came across the space that turned into Aurum, why they chose the County and why they focus on the styles that they do, Prat's experiences in Germany and the Czech Republic that shaped what he brews, the beauty of LUKR taps and educating the public about mlíko pours, the drinking preferences of their locals in the County, how the fellow breweries in PEC have embraced them and collaborated with them, and their approach to distribution. They got into six killer Aurum brews - Rybička 8° Czech Pale Lager, Denní 12° Czech-style Pilsener, Lys French Inspired Pils, Himmel Bavarian-style Wheat Beer, Nü-01 Dry-Hopped Lager, and Sequoia West Coast Pils collaboration with All My Friends. This was fantastic - excited to follow their journey! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Ep. 36 Midwife in Czech Republic - Anna Ťopková by Sofia Scheuerman

What if the real reason your recovery feels harder than it should is not just habit or willpower, but spiritual warfare aimed at your deepest vulnerabilities? Shawn Bonneteau shares a raw wake-up call from his own season in the Czech Republic and breaks down how the enemy looks for the exact places where your heart feels hungry, unseen, bitter, anxious, or vulnerable.Shawn unpacks why he believes spiritual warfare is often missed in Christian recovery, especially for men fighting pornography, shame, loneliness, conflict, and self-reliance. He also shares two powerful coaching stories, including a man who shifted from passivity to real fatherhood and another who moved from mental wrestling to surprising peace after a warfare prayer that named lies, vows, soul ties, fears, and open doors.You'll discover:How to recognize the difference between normal struggle and spiritual attackWhy the enemy often targets “voids” like comfort, hope, reassurance, and peaceThe surprising reason inactivity can be part of the attackHow the armor of God becomes a prevention, protection, and victory planWhy truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Scripture are not abstractions but daily weaponsHow to spot legal ground, footholds, and open doors that keep you stuckShawn also reframes Ephesians 6 in a way that makes the armor of God feel practical and urgent, using vivid examples like brushing your teeth before there is pain and standing firm when the battle is already in motion. If you've ever wondered why the same patterns keep resurfacing, or why certain emotions seem to trigger old cycles, this episode will help you see the bigger battle with fresh clarity.Essential listening if you want more than short-term sobriety. This is for Christian men, husbands, fathers, and anyone in recovery who is ready to move from confusion to clarity, fear to confidence, and fragile self-reliance to lasting freedom in Christ.Ready to get clear, confident and free?Book your personal recovery plan session where Shawn will spend 60 minutes with you defining your true heart issue and the true heart solutionsecrethabit.ca/personalrecoveryplan--Host: Shawn Bonneteau, coach and founder of Secret Habit, helping Christian men quit pornography and become men of integrity, maturity, and freedom.

Some people live so far on the fringes of society that they don't even consider themselves part of it, that's what Jrad and Steed are covering on this week's episode of Chubstep. The guys start with a correction on the Greenland episode before getting into why Steed's boredom led him to choose the main topic. Micronations and sovereign citizens starts out with the crazy people defending themselves in court, trying to use this excuse to get out of tickets, Mos Def / Yasiin Bey's trouble with his World Passport, the complicated beliefs of Sovereign Citizens and how it ties to Star Wars, a micronation made of concrete in the ocean that involved a James Bond level helicopter rescue, a high concentration of micronations in the Czech Republic including Anarchy99, when not paying your taxes adds up for micronations, Key West's Conch Republic, an island for the LGBTQ+ community, and a failed Scottish island take over

At some point, every engineer will receive feedback that stings. So how can you decide if it's valid, what you should learn from it, and what parts to let go of? In this episode, Safiyya Cavatina Kassim, senior specialist in business agility at MSD Czech Republic, speaks with host Sam East about how STEM professionals can navigate difficult feedback in the workplace. Drawing from her personal stories and FOG to FUEL framework, Safiyya shares practical strategies and mindset shifts to process criticism in the moment, identify what's worth acting on, and leave behind feedback rooted in bias. Plus, hear Safiyya's nonlinear STEM journey of growing up in Zimbabwe, earning a degree in agriculture, and ultimately building a technology career in the Czech Republic. — The award-winning Diverse podcast from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is now Global Voices in Engineering!

Live from Exit at the Castle in Brno, Czech Republic.

The Bartered Bride, a comic opera by Bedrich Smetana, premiered in Prague on March 30, 1866. Its pastoral love story and setting in a rural Czech village eventually became an enduring symbol of Czech nationalism. In Visions of the Village: Ruralness, Identity, and Czech Opera (Oxford University Press, 2025), Christopher Campo-Bowen examines how a particular image of the rural village in a set of Czech operas written between 1866 and 1904 became a powerful signifier for Czech ethnoracial and nationalist identity. He follows this conception of Czech identity and its entanglement with opera through the political changes in the years when the Czech lands were ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the upheaval that followed when the Empire collapsed in 1918 and the First Czechoslovak Republic was founded. In addition to composers and their operas, Campo-Bowen investigates the output of critics, administrators, and other urban intellectuals to understand the impact of village operas on public discourse. By setting his analysis within a discussion of how race was understood in nineteenth-century Europe, Campo-Bowen shows that this seemingly straightforward nationalist discourse was shot through with racialized essentialism and ideas about gender that were connected with larger political realities. He ends the book with a discussion of the resonances of this nineteenth-century conception of Czech identity in the current Czech Republic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry and Tracy discuss the infamous Houska Castle in the Czech Republic and talk to Kindred Spirits' Adam Berry.

In a culture that constantly asks girls to define themselves on their own terms, the Bible offers a far more hopeful and life-giving truth: every girl has a purposeful place in God's redemptive story.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Jen Oshman to explore how Scripture answers some of the most important questions girls are asking today about identity, purpose, and belonging. Together, they discuss what it means to understand humanity through a Biblical lens—and why God's design for women is both beautiful and essential to His greater plan.  Drawing from her years of global ministry experience as a missionary and church planter in Japan and the Czech Republic, Jen shares how the Gospel speaks powerfully across cultures and life circumstances. Now serving in ministry in the United States, she offers thoughtful insight into how parents can help their daughters develop a Biblical Worldview that stands firm even in a rapidly changing culture.  Melissa and Jen also address an important message for every girl to hear: no life story is too broken for redemption. Whether a girl is navigating cultural confusion, personal struggles, or past mistakes, the grace of Jesus Christ offers restoration, forgiveness, and a new identity rooted in truth.  This conversation will encourage parents to disciple their daughters with confidence, reminding them that God is actively at work in every life—and that girls who understand His grace can grow into women who walk in courage, humility, and faith.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Genesis 1:27  Psalm 139:13–14  Isaiah 43:1  Luke 8:1–3  Romans 8:1  2 Corinthians 5:17  Ephesians 2:8–10    To learn more about Jen Oshman, visit jenoshman.com    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.       Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.    

In a first for the podcast, Rob and Josh recorded a series of live podcasts at this year's Global BirdFair in the UK. Recorded in front of a live audience, the pair were joined by a series of guests and recorded three episodes over three days at the event. In this episode, Rob and Josh are joined by one of the world's most creative photographers. A master of slow shutter and Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Jiří Hřebíček shares the story behind his approach and some of the techniques he employs to create the images. As well as wildlife photographers, we are passionate about conservation and do everything we can to support grass-roots conservation initiatives across the globe.

Welcome back to Goalie Science. Ben Cernick — original co-host, PhD researcher, and the guy who quietly uncollaborated all his Instagram posts with Jamie — is back on the pod. He texted saying we were slandering him. We invited him to prove it. This is what happened.

Vit Ruzicka, Ph.D., is a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow who works with hyperspectral satellite images to detect methane signatures in the atmosphere. Methane is a transparent gas that cannot be seen by the human eye but hyperspectral satellites, along with machine learning models, can help determine if there are leaks in facilities or pipelines that store methane. Because methane is a greenhouse gas, detecting large emissions is important. In addition to his research focus, Ruzicka shares his journey from the Czech Republic to the United Kingdom to the United States, and how working for NASA was dream that became a reality. Applications are now open for the November cycle for the NASA Postdoctoral Program. Learn more and apply: https://npp.orau.org/index.html

We made it to the final stop on this summer's Around the World with Busy Kids Love Music tour — and what a destination to end on. The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia, home to over 110 million people speaking more than 180 languages and dialects. Its folk music is not one tradition — it is many, layered on top of each other over thousands of years: ancient bronze gong ensembles from the highlands and the southern islands, rice harvest chants recognized by UNESCO, Spanish-influenced string ensemble music that became entirely its own thing, and love songs that carried a secret message of resistance hidden in plain sight. In this finale episode, we explore both sides of Philippine folk music — the indigenous traditions that survived centuries of Spanish colonization, and the hybrid traditions that grew from the meeting of Filipino and Spanish culture. And woven through it all is a theme that has appeared at every stop on this summer's tour: music as the keeper of identity, the carrier of what people are not always free to say out loud. What We Cover in This Episode The Philippines' geography, history, and extraordinary cultural diversity — 7,000+ islands, 180+ languages, indigenous peoples alongside centuries of colonial influence Spanish colonial rule (1565–1898) and how it reshaped lowland Filipino culture while leaving highland and southern communities largely intact The kulintang — a row of bronze gongs played in ensemble by the Maranao and Maguindanao peoples of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago The gangsa tradition of the Kalinga people of the Cordillera highlands — flat bronze gongs played communally, one gong per player The hudhud — a form of epic chanted poetry sung by Ifugao women during rice harvests and funerals, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage The rondalla — a Spanish-derived plucked string ensemble that became the sound of Filipino fiestas and community celebrations The harana — a traditional serenade tradition with Spanish roots that developed its own Filipino character, now a disappearing tradition being actively preserved The kundiman — Filipino love songs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that carried hidden messages of patriotism and longing for independence under colonial rule How Filipino-American communities across the United States are keeping these traditions alive today Free Downloads for This Episode

We follow Harry Brook and Liam Plunkett in an attempt to switch codes and do a bit of baseball. We do so with no Greg and Jimmy, so it's left to Felix and Mattchin to initiate Melanie Newman and Xavier Scruggs into the world of cricket.Mel and X are usually found hosting MLB Bases Covered Live with Felix, but this week they've been at Lord's to soak in England's ODI victory over India. They explain why Ben Duckett's scoop is nasty, how Chris Woakes is an icon, and why the Czech Republic are baseball's ones to watch. Plus a Mattchin quiz featuring baseball legends Randy Sam, Alexis "Sombrero" del Fuente, and Hot Steve.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys waste no time before getting into some strange encounters before Cam's segment on the mysterious Houska Castle.Some places are built to keep people out. Houska Castle may have been built to keep something in. Hidden in the forests of the Czech Republic, Houska Castle has puzzled historians for centuries. It has no obvious strategic purpose, no nearby water source, and no fortifications to defend against invaders. Instead, legend says it was built over a bottomless pit... a gateway to Hell itself.According to local folklore, twisted winged creatures once crawled from the darkness below, terrorizing the countryside until the castle was constructed to seal the opening forever. Over the centuries, visitors have reported hearing unexplained screams echoing through empty halls, shadowy figures watching from the corners, strange animal behavior, and an overwhelming feeling that they are not alone.Are these stories nothing more than medieval superstition? Or is there something beneath Houska Castle that was never meant to be disturbed?All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Show Notes:Glimmer Man Book: Cloaked Beings That Move Among UsWant to Share Your Story?

Norm Eisen is back with us today to unpack the repercussions of Mark Meadows testimony against Donald Trump along with a slew of recent defectors from Sidney Powell to Jenna Ellis. Each one of these is a body blow to Trump's weakening defense. But Meadows could put the smoking gun in his hand. If you happen to be tuning in for the first time, Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst and the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. The former Obama Ethics Czar and Ambassador to the Czech Republic joins us today to get to the heart of what's going on.
