In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.Get more of Decoder Ring with Slate Plus!

— Today, it is a joy to welcome Gideon Enok to A Quest for Well-Being. Since 2010, Gideon has traveled the world, lived in multiple countries, and walked more than 7,000 kilometers with a backpack. He describes himself not simply as a traveler, but as a pilgrim on a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and transformation. Gideon is the author of The Pilgrim Spirit: The Longer You Walk, The Deeper You Go, a powerful memoir inspired by an extraordinary 3,500-kilometer walk from Denmark to Santiago de Compostela during the height of the 2020 pandemic. At one of the lowest points in his life, he heard an inner calling that led him on a five-month pilgrimage across Europe—a journey that ultimately brought him greater serenity, purpose, self-understanding, and even true love. At the heart of Gideon's work is a beautiful message: that life itself is a pilgrimage, that every person we meet is a fellow traveler, and that what matters most is not where the journey takes us, but who we become along the way. Today, we'll explore the lessons he learned through millions of steps on the Camino de Santiago, the transformative power of trusting life's callings, the wisdom of the pilgrim spirit, and how courage, resilience, gratitude, and openness can guide us toward a more meaningful life. Valeria interviews  Gideon Enok — He is the author of  "The Pilgrim Spirit: The Longer You Walk, The Deeper You Go - Walking 3,500 km Toward a New Life on the Camino de Santiago." Gideon has traveled the world since 2010 and has lived in several countries, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Spain. He has walked over 7,000 km with a backpack and considers himself a pilgrim on a lifelong pilgrimage. A couple of years before the long journey, Gideon had written down a bucket list of over 100 things he wanted to learn, experience, accomplish, and places he wanted to visit, as well as people he wanted to meet. At the top of the list, he wanted to have dinner with his favorite author, Gregory David Roberts, who is the author of the International Bestselling book Shantaram. It was an impossible task, because he was no longer in public life.  Nevertheless, Gideon often looked for when Gregory got online again, and when he did, he began following him, and eventually Gideon and Gregory found each other and amplified the maxim that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, and how the starting point for the book The Pilgrim Spirit began. A few years later, when the finishing touches was made on the book, Gideon was in Finisterre again, and on a walk toward the 0,0 km marker at The End of The World, he laid eyes on K, found true love and they are still together.

Denmark is often celebrated as one of the world's most LGBTQ+-friendly countries. It was the first nation to legally recognize same-sex unions and remains a leader in many measures of equality. But does that mean the work is finished?In this Pride Month episode, Derek speaks with Steve Taylor, Head of Secretariat at Copenhagen Pride, about Denmark's LGBTQ+ journey—from trailblazing victories to the challenges that remain today.Together they discuss Denmark's place in European equality rankings, ongoing debates around conversion therapy, protections for transgender and intersex people, LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, and why progress can stall when societies assume the job is already done. They also explore the importance of Pride beyond Copenhagen, the role of community, and what recent events in places like Hungary reveal about the need to defend rights that many people take for granted.Whether you're celebrating Pride, curious about LGBTQ+ life in Denmark, or interested in how social progress happens, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at where Denmark has been—and where it still has room to grow.

As I write this note, a heatwave is beating down on the UK, signalling the arrival of the busy summer travel season. With air traffic reaching record highs globally, airports and airlines are under increasing pressure to maintain efficient GSE operations, ensure smooth turnarounds, and uphold high safety standards for both passengers and ground handling teams. In this issue, we bring you the latest developments in the GSE space, focusing on ground power units (GPUs), water and lavatory vehicles, and equipment leasing and rental. Electrification continues to be at the forefront of the minds of aviation stakeholders. To learn more, I visited ITW GSE's factory in Odense, Denmark, as well as Rushlift GSE's operation at Gatwick Airport, to find out about the companies' approaches to electrification and to discover how new technologies are transforming GSE design and operations. Moreover, I caught up with Aviator Airport Alliance at IGHC Cairo to gather insights on how the Nordic ground handler is approaching eGSE transition. I also spoke with Mathieu Blondel, co-author of a report on the topic, about the opportunities and challenges associated with decarbonising ground operations. While sustainability is evidently a key focus for the industry, safety on the apron remains a pressing issue. March saw a tragic incident at New York's LaGuardia Airport, in which an Air Canada plane collided with an Oshkosh Striker 1500 airfield rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. Megan Ramsay explores the circumstances that led to the accident, as well as wider advancements in ARFF technology and design. An additional challenge in flight safety is also emerging: bird strikes, which can result in serious damage to aircraft and, in rare cases, have caused engine failure. Tony Harrington investigates whether enough is being done to tackle the issue. We also welcome back a guest writer, Mark Finch, who pens an insightful article on GSE pooling.

From India to Denmark: Div Sidhu Hosting Roast Battles in Danish | Roustabout This week in Copenhagen, I sit down with comedian Div Sidhu. Originally from India, Div ended up in Denmark after his employer moved his position from Norway so he could stay with his girlfriend. After losing both of his parents within four months of each other, he found stand-up comedy and has spent the last three years helping build Copenhagen's small but growing English-language comedy scene. We talk about roast battles, dating culture, ancestry visas, performing at a major Danish TV gala, and what it's like trying to make comedy work in one of the most organized countries in the world. Div also shares his plans to record a comedy special in Copenhagen and why he's betting on Denmark's comedy scene. Hosted by Jason Rouse.

After Louis Battenberg's (later Louis Mountbatten) successful campaign to marry Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, the couple set about having babies. The first of these, Princess Alice, was born in 1885, and came into the world congenitally deaf. Given the era, no particular accommodations were made for her, and while her condition caused many to underestimate her, she compensated by learning to lip-read (in several languages) and spoke English, German, French, and, later, Greek. Her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was happy only for a while, but the pair had five children. Alice occupied herself with charity work, and when hostilities broke out between Greece and Turkey, she served as a nurse at the front line, earning the deep affection of the Greek people. During the First World War, Greece exiled the royal family, and setting up in Paris, Alice and Andrew became estranged. He would ride out the rest of his life in the south of France with his mistress, while Alice's life became strange and complicated. She fell in unrequited love, though history has not retained the identity of her affection, and developed a religious fervor. She was hospitalized in sanitariums and treated with cutting edge techniques for schizophrenia, like hitting her abdomen with X-rays to destroy her ovaries. During her convalescence, which she wanted out of, her daughters married without her knowing and her youngest son, Prince Philip, gradually grew from a child to a man, with no real connection to his mother or father. Alice spent World War II in Athens, caring for the poor and hungry, and sheltering a Jewish family. When the Nazi occupiers came to search her home, she leaned into her deafness, pretending not to understand what they wanted until they were so bamboozled they left empty handed. She founded a religious order, but when Greece again abolished the monarchy, her son Philip, now married to Queen Elizabeth II, ensured her safe passage to Great Britain, where she lived out her days simply and humbly, as a quiet resident of Buckingham Palace.

The hosts return after a multi-week break to recap life updates: an Outer Banks trip, an upcoming family trip to France, and a hilarious Buc-ee's convenience store stop. Major personal milestones and mishaps take center stage — Breeze earns his third-degree black belt with a dramatic board break, they deal with car trouble after a deer collision and a skunk incident, and they improvise by installing window air conditioners. The episode also dives into quirky news and conversations, from a controversial mermaid statue in Denmark and a new flatulence study to a gross-but-funny would-you-rather and movie talk about Disclosure Day and E.T.

Judd Burton Bio:I can remember when I was just a lad, somewhere around ten years old, being in love with new experiences and ideas. The springboard for my interests as they are today came in the form of one Dr. George Knight, professor of New Testament at Hardin-Simmons University, and an accomplished field archaeologist. It just so happened that his brother-in-law, Reverend Wayne Keller, was the pastor at my church. Our congregation had the great fortune of Dr. Knight's leadership in a number of seasonal bible studies throughout the year. To my great delight, he always added tales of his work on archaeological sites in the Near East. That's really all it took for me, because I drank it all in, and it became part of me. I have ever since been an explorer: a direct result of the marriage of faith in Jesus Christ and academic enthusiasm.I have a BA in History from Hardin-Simmons University. I also have an MA in anthropology from Texas Tech University. This year I completed my PhD in history at Texas Tech University, focusing my studies on Early Christianity and Greco-Roman religions. I also study topics such as the survival of mythology, sacred geography, folk religion, and contemporary alternative religious movements.I grew up in a small town called Merkel, Texas. I went to school there, learned from such wonderful teachers as Chuck Roach, Lisa Amerine, Alvin O'Dell, and Lisa Walker. Merkel also afforded me the opportunity to learn how to play the guitar, and yes, be in a rock band, Black Pearl. The little hamlet of Merkel was a wonderful place to grow up. The present population is about 2500. Merkel has an intersting history, full of cultural vibrance, and at one point in time, it even had a college. So if you ever get the chance, visit Merkel.In my years I've had some interesting adventures. While playing in the marching band at Cisco Junior College, I visited Hawaii. I've also done archaeology on both sides of the globe: Texas and Israel. To top it all off, I've also been to Jordan, Denmark, and Mexico, and hope to add Ireland, Greece, Egypt, Thailand, Australia, Belize, and Vietnam to that list soon.Dr. Burton's Link:https://www.burtonbeyond.net/about-me

ALFI's Serge Weyland and McGill's Patrick Augustin on funds, Europe's pension time bomb, and why financial literacy may be its most urgent lesson. Luxembourg is known to many as the heart of European finance, yet the story of how it earned that title is one we rarely hear told plainly. On this episode, I sat down with two guests perfectly placed to tell it: Serge Weyland, CEO of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI), and Patrick Augustin, Associate Professor of Finance at McGill University and Director of the new McGill Luxembourg Centre for Finance. The conversation ranged from the founding milestones of the fund industry to the looming pension challenge facing the entire continent, and landed somewhere unexpectedly personal: how few of us were ever taught to handle our own money. The scale of what Luxembourg has built is genuinely difficult to picture. As Serge explained, the industry traces back nearly 40 years, to 1988, when Luxembourg became the first EU Member State to transpose a directive that let an investment fund created in one country be sold across all the others. That foresight attracted the world's major asset managers, and the result today is staggering. The fund industry now employs roughly two-thirds of the 50,000 people working in Luxembourg's financial services sector, an industry that accounts for a quarter of the country's GDP. "Luxembourg today is home to 8.3 trillion. So that's a lot of money." Serge Weyland, CEO of ALFI Serge described the European Passport as one of the great commercial successes of the bloc, and one of its quietest. Of the 25 trillion euros in funds domiciled in Europe, around 6 trillion belongs to investors outside the continent who trusted its regulatory safeguards. It is, in his words, a success story we simply do not hear often enough. For Patrick, the foundation under all of it is not capital or regulation but people. Luxembourg has long held the operational infrastructure, what some politely call the back office, but as markets shift toward private equity, tokenisation and digital assets, the bottleneck changes too. "Talent is the infrastructure of the financial industry. If you don't have good talent, you're at the risk of failing in the longer run." Patrick Augustin, McGill University That is the gap McGill has come to fill. The Centre is a joint initiative with the Ministry of Finance, the banking association ABBL and ALFI, and its flagship offering is a two-year, part-time Master of Management in Finance, taught on weekends by McGill faculty in Luxembourg. Its standout feature is that students manage a real, regulated fund through Desautels Capital Management, filing compliance, executing trades and defending their investment pitches to outside investors who can scrutinise them hard. Patrick put the case for learning by doing with a simple question: if you wanted to learn tennis or the piano, would you watch videos, or would you play? What both guests kept returning to was the ecosystem itself, the close dialogue between academia, industry and policymakers that Luxembourg's flat hierarchy makes uniquely possible. "The secret sauce is the closely knit community. When there is a need for the industry, we know we have a direct line into the legislator." Serge Weyland, CEO of ALFI The conversation then turned to the issue closest to both men's hearts: pensions, and the financial literacy that underpins them. A joint ALFI/McGill study examined how Europeans save, and the numbers are sobering. European households sit on roughly 14 trillion euros in cash and savings, around 41 to 42 percent of household savings, against just 14 percent in the United States. That cash quietly loses value to inflation year after year. The study's counterfactual was striking: if France and Germany alone reformed their pension systems along the lines of Sweden or Denmark, they could unlock an additional 10 trillion euros over time. Sweden, Serge noted, went from funded pensions worth around 12 percent of GDP twenty years ago to roughly 120 percent today, a tenfold rise. Yet none of this works without education, and education, both guests agreed, has to start far earlier than the lecture hall. "Personal finance essentials should be mandatory, bottom up, from an early age, of course in an age appropriate way." Patrick Augustin, McGill University Serge made the point personally. After 40 years in finance, he reckons that had he invested regularly from the start, he would have five or six times the money he has today, simply because no one ever taught him how. The encouraging note he ended on is that the barrier to entry has never been lower. Through tokenisation and fractional fund units, investing can now begin with 30, 40 or 50 euros a month, held in a digital wallet at a fraction of the traditional cost. The technology is still niche in Europe, though already mainstream among retail savers in parts of Asia. We agreed that crypto, stablecoins, the digital euro and tokenisation each deserve a show of their own. For now, the message from both guests was clear: Luxembourg has the capital and the regulation, and with the right talent and the right financial education, it has every chance of future-proofing both its industry and its citizens.

It's Friday, June 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hundreds of Nigerians freed from Boko Haram captivity after months Ready for some good news? Hundreds of Nigerians, who had been abducted by Boko Haram Muslim militants during a devastating March attack, have just been freed after months in captivity, reports International Christian Concern. It's one of the largest releases of hostages in the region in recent years.  Officials claim that the Nigerian army rescued 360 captives from a remote hideout in the Mandara Mountains of Borno State near the border with the country of Cameroon. However, local community leaders insist that local negotiations, rather than military action, secured their freedom. Pentagon on lock down over “air quality issue” On June 11th, the Pentagon was placed on lockdown after officials detected an “air quality issue” inside the building, reports NewsNation.com. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the War Department activated standard safety procedures, including a “shelter-in-place order for affected areas. The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.” Trump adds SAVE Act to Pentagon reconciliation bill Despite the fact that the U.S. Senate has failed to make progress towards passing the much-needed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE America Act, which would secure our nation's elections, President Donald Trump is not throwing in the towel. In a post on Truth Social, he just announced a huge move to get the act passed by adding it directly to the upcoming $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation bill. This way, the legislation can clear the Senate with a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes needed under current rules. Referencing the SAVE Act, he wrote, “THE SAVE AMERICA ACT … will protect our Elections for Generations to come.  Our Warriors protect our most Sacred Rights, and Voting is at the top. Time to defend that Right for every American!” Yesterday, President Trump made these comments from the Oval Office. TRUMP: “All voters must show photo I.D.  So, you go to vote and show photo ID. Not complicated. But who could oppose it? … “All voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship. No mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. So, we're being very progressive. We just don't want cheating. You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election.” Urge your two U.S. Senator to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act by calling 202-224-3121. That's 202-224-3121. Suspicious newly registered homeless votes in LA Mayoral race In a suspicious turn of events to block Spencer Pratt's candidacy for Los Angeles mayor, thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at Los Angeles  shelters — despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds at all, reports the New York Post. As Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race during additional counting of votes on June 8th, one drop-in center, St. Joseph Center in Venice, which had received $600,000 from Nithya Raman, had 185 registered voters at the address but offers absolutely no accommodations.  After the New York Post inquired about this suspicious activity, the photograph of Raman presenting a check to St. Joseph's was taken down from its website. The revelations have prompted U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The New York Post and “follow the evidence” to see if the law has been broken.  A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers. The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations — but its website shows it only has beds for 9% of that number -- 84 men and 36 women. Something stinks in Denmark! Proverbs 17:23 says, "A wicked man takes a covert bribe from his bosom to pervert the ways of justice." ACLU asserts a “religious right” to abortion in Indiana The Thomas More Society is weighing in on a pending ACLU-inspired abortion case before the Indiana Supreme Court, urging the state's highest jurists not to recognize a so-called “right” to abortion under the guise of religious freedom, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Indiana law bans most surgical abortions. Sadly, chemical abortions persist due to mail-order Abortion Kill Pills, which the state legislature has so far been unable to quash. The ACLU suit claims that denying Indiana mothers abortions would violate Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a 2015 law that says that government may not “substantially burden a person's exercise of religion.” Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita has appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court agreed in April to take the case. Oral arguments are set to begin in September. Thomas Olp with the Thomas Moore Society, said, “This case is a Trojan Horse. The ACLU and its clients want to call this religious liberty, but it isn't—not under any historically honest understanding of the term. From Cicero to John Locke to the framers of Indiana's Constitution, the natural law tradition that gave us religious freedom has never treated the taking of innocent life as an exercise of religion.” Missionary David Brainerd had a heart to see Indians saved And finally, on June 12, 1744, David Brainerd was ordained by the Presbyterian Church to be a missionary to the New England Indians. He first went to an Indian village on the Housatonic River in Connecticut. Then, he studied the Algonquin languages in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. According to the Generations-published Taking the Americas for Jesus, Brainerd loved the Indians which is why he wanted them to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. He said, “I taught that men are sinners. All sinners will be judged by God. Then, I told them that Christ could save them. Christ was a great Savior.  All who believe in Jesus will be saved.” Even living in a wigwam and missing many meals, Brainerd was undeterred.  Indian witch doctors tried to poison him. He asked, “Why can't your magic harm me?” Sometimes Indians trusted in Christ. But many did not want to leave their idols. In 1745, Brainerd went to an Indian tribe in New Jersey where 100 Indians converted to Christianity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” He died from tuberculosis on October 9, 1747, at the young age of 29.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, June 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Most listeners to Creation Moments will know that honeybees communicate with each other through a complex dance. These dances are used by bee scouts who communicate the location, direction, and distance of a new food source to other bees. Researchers have now learned that there is more to this communication than simply dance.Scientists have discovered that bees can also hear the buzzing sounds that accompany the dance. More than that, scientists have been able to mimic those buzzing sounds, but they have not yet been able to reproduce the language that bees use. In order to further study bee communication, researchers in Denmark plan to construct a tiny robot dancing bee which can be used to recruit real honeybees to food sources - if they can learn the bees' language.In a previous Creation Moments program, we spoke about the recent discovery of an ancient bee encased in amber. Scientists said that even though the bee dated back to the beginning of flowering plants, it was just like modern bees. The Lord's message through all these lines of evidence - sophisticated bee society with complex communication and the evidence that it has existed since there were bees - is clear. If a robot dancing bee must be manufactured by intelligence, then the real dancing bees must also have been made by an intelligent Creator.Zechariah 7:9-11"Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.”Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, it is sometimes perplexing to see how deaf the world is to what You have to say so clearly. Yet, I confess that I too, don't always hear Your voice when I should. Help me to hear You more clearly and to lead others to hear Your call to them. In Jesus' Name, Amen.REF.: “Honey bees listen to the dance,” Science News. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111

Driscoll's CEO Soren Bjorn says stronger consumer education, regulatory reform, and support for California farmers will be critical to maintaining a vibrant specialty crop industry in the years ahead. In the second part of an AgNet News Hour interview, Driscoll's CEO Soren Bjorn discussed the importance of public engagement, agricultural policy, labor regulations, and the future of berry production in California. Bjorn, who has led the berry company for years, shared his personal journey into agriculture. Originally from Denmark, he came to the United States on a golf scholarship to Baylor University before beginning a career in the produce industry that eventually led him to Driscoll's. “I tell people I have gotten to live my version of the American dream,” Bjorn said. “My greatest dream was to one day run a great American company.” Throughout the discussion, Bjorn emphasized the need for agriculture to better communicate with consumers and policymakers. He argued that many critics of farming simply do not understand modern agricultural practices and that greater transparency can help bridge that gap. “A lot of these people just have no idea,” Bjorn said. “That's an opportunity for us.” One example of that outreach involves bringing community leaders, educators, and consumers directly onto farms. Bjorn said firsthand exposure to agricultural operations often changes perceptions and helps people better understand how food is produced. Bjorn also highlighted the strength of the Driscoll's brand, noting that the company has built consumer trust through product consistency and quality. According to Bjorn, Driscoll's ranked as the second-largest food and beverage brand in U.S. grocery sales during 2025, trailing only Coca-Cola. “That tells you the power of having a product consumers trust,” Bjorn explained while discussing the value of branding in agriculture. The conversation also turned toward California's regulatory climate. Bjorn argued that while regulations are often well-intentioned, lawmakers should be willing to revisit policies that fail to achieve their intended goals. He pointed specifically to agricultural overtime regulations, which he said reduced work hours and earnings opportunities for many farmworkers despite being designed to help them. “What we said was if you do this, the farm workers' work week is going to go down,” Bjorn explained. “The very people they were supposed to help lost.” Bjorn believes California can remain a highly regulated state while still improving efficiency by removing rules that create unnecessary burdens without producing measurable benefits. He encouraged policymakers to consult agricultural experts more frequently when evaluating new proposals. Despite ongoing challenges, Bjorn remains optimistic about the future of farming. He pointed to younger generations entering agriculture, including students involved in agricultural education programs and university studies, as a source of encouragement for the industry's future. Looking ahead to the summer berry season, Bjorn said consumers can expect strong supplies of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, while strawberry supplies should improve as the season progresses. He also encouraged consumers to remember the farmers behind the products they purchase. “When you pay a little bit extra in June and July this year, just realize there are farmers behind it,” Bjorn said. As California agriculture continues facing challenges ranging from labor and housing to regulations and public perception, Bjorn said building stronger connections between consumers and farmers will remain essential for long-term success.

Britain's defence secretary, John Healey, has resigned, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to commit the resources needed to protect the nation from rising threats. Mr Healey said a long-delayed investment plan fell well short of what was required to bring defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030 - a NATO target. He highlighted Mr Starmer's recent warning that Russia could attack the alliance as soon as that year.Also: Iran says its ceasefire with the US is now practically meaningless after a second night of airstrikes.

Alexander Zverev won the 2026 French Open to claim his first Grand Slam title, but Eddie is disappointed that his controversies overshadowed the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly upon us, although there are serious concerns over the quality of pitches and playing conditions in the United States. And Christian Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's recent friendly should bring a sad end to an excellent playing career.  Speaking of controversies, England Cricket once again finds itself in hot water after Ben Stokes and Gut Atkinson got into a scuffle in a club in Chelsea. Frank speaks about his recent hockey tournament in Nashville, and Eddie's Fiat Topolino continues to be a target for road rage.

From the hallowed ranks of the FC Nordsjælland academy to the bright lights of Old Trafford, Patrick Dorgu's rise has been nothing short of meteoric. The versatile Danish international has rapidly evolved from a promising young talent into one of the most exciting, multi-positional weapons in Ruben Amorim's tactical revolution.In this episode, we break down Dorgu's sensational 2025–26 campaign and analyze how a player drawing comparisons to a young Gareth Bale became United's ultimate big-game clutch performer:Recapping his massive goals on the grandest stages—including his clinical strike away at Arsenal, a poetic Boxing Day winner against Newcastle, and that unforgettable goal in the 2-0 Manchester derby triumph over City.Dissecting his unique ability to seamlessly transition between full-back, wing-back, and winger on both flanks, providing United with rare tactical flexibility.Evaluating his highly efficient return of 4 goals and 4 assists across 26 appearances, and how his creative intelligence allows him to consistently outperform his expected metrics.We also dive into his international exploits with Denmark—including scoring just 42 seconds into his senior debut—and discuss why this dynamic talent is quickly building an incredible legacy in Manchester red.

In this episode, True Crime Medieval brings you two crimes, a father and son, both murdered in churches, though for different reasons altogether. Canute had enraged the peasants and nobility both, by enforcing the collection of tithes, while Charles had infuriated a badly behaved but powerful family which took it amiss when Charles attempted to make them stop gouging peasants during a famine. Michelle is both scandalized and gratified by getting to talk about Yet Another Sacrilegious Murder In A Church, and Anne is delighted by finding a hotel in Bruges that has a hard to find museum in its basement, the foundations of the cathedral that Charles the Good was murdered in. Because apparently the French revolution took down the church but missed the basement.

Denmark has a new government, but what does that actually mean for internationals living here?After the longest government formation process in Danish history, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has assembled a new center-left coalition that will need support from parties outside the government to survive.In this episode, Copenhagen Post editor-in-chief, Bernardo Basilici Menini, joins Derek to explain what happened behind the scenes, why Danish politics may be entering a new era, and what internationals should watch for when it comes to immigration, housing, taxes, and public services.After listening, you'll understand: • Why it took Denmark more than two months to form a government • Why Denmark's political landscape is becoming more fragmented • What changes could be coming for housing, taxes, welfare, and transportation • Whether immigration policy is likely to become stricter or softer • What internationals should pay attention to over the next four years • Why some observers are concerned about growing political polarization in Denmark

Towards the end of last year, Australia did something no other country had ever tried: it banned social media for kids under 16. And a bunch of others are following with similar laws, first Denmark, then France, then Indonesia and Austria. All in, there are now more than 25 countries that have either implemented, or are actively considering, social media bans for kids. It seems like Canada is moving there as well. In April, the Liberal party adopted a non-binding motion to restrict young people's access to both social media and AI chatbots. All over the world, you can hear parents breathing a sigh of relief. They've spent the last decade watching their kids become hooked on their devices, and now we're doing something about it. It looks like we're finally going to get our kids back. But researchers like Candice Odgers are skeptical. Odgers is a psychology professor at UC Irvine who's been studying the digital lives of young people for almost 20 years now, long before anyone was worried about what social media was doing to their brains. She says there isn't really any research to suggest these bans will work. But her argument goes even deeper than that: she says the idea that smartphones have caused a youth mental health crisis just isn't supported by the evidence. So as governments all over the world start to kick kids off social media, and maybe even AI chatbots as well, Candice Odgers thinks we're making a serious mistake. And I want to know if she's right.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine's Editor-in-Chief Bart Cameron, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Should Iceland's National Poet, Jónas Hallgrímsson, Be Dug UpJónas Hallgrímsson was a poet and writer who was born in 1807. In 1845 he died after falling down a flight of stairs in Copenhagen whilst drunk. For the past 30 years his birthday, 16 November, has been celebrated as The Day Of The Icelandic Language. In 1946 his remains were moved to Iceland and buried in a new Icelandic national burial ground in Þingvellir. Whether or not it were in fact his remains that were moved from Denmark and buried in Þingvellir remains shrouded in mystery. Not least because the main proponent for finding the remains and moving them was convinced he was in telepathic communication with Jónas, and that communication was the main source of figuring out where the remains were to be found. The ridicule surrounding that led to nobody else ever being buried on the location, and aside from the alleged remains of Jónas Hallgrímsson, another poet, Einar Benediktsson also rests in the sacral plot. Now, documentary makers want to dig up those remains and subject them to a DNA analysis to figure out whether it is in fact Jónas that was buried there, or — as was the popular joke in the 1940s — if it was in fact a Danish baker. A 4,5 Earthquake Just East Of ReykjavíkMonday 1 June saw a 4,5 earthquake with over 1100 subsequent smaller quakes happen in a place called Svínahraun, just east of Reykjavík, near the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant. The area is geologically active, so this is in a sense not an unusual development, although such a large earthquake is rare. In other geologically related news, vulcanologists, geologists and the people of Grindavík are still waiting for the next eruption to matieralise near that town and the Blue Lagoon. However, new research on that volcanic system has indicated that even though the magma chamber under the Blue Lagoon has by now built up more magma than before all of the previous eruptions, an eruption might not take place at all. In Iceland, Your Name Can Now Be SnowRegularly, the Icelandic Naming Committee decides what names our children can and can not have.

In the past few years Rapyd has been experiencing some business problems, so the word on the street is that perhaps the whole AI framing is just a ploy to mask actual financial difficulties, or if not, perhaps these are the first AI related mass layoffs in IcelandSupport the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTDonate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter. The magazine covers everything Iceland-related, with a special focus culture, music, food and travel.

When Pernille Ripp moved from the U.S., where she had taught for over a decade, to her native country of Denmark, she was immediately struck by how different school was. In this episode, we'll explore why Danish schools are so good for teachers and students, and which practices we might be able to adopt in the U.S. ___________________________ Thanks to Alpaca and iCivics for sponsoring the episode.

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials? (The King James Book of Demonology) *** Her gravestone, decorated with a cross and flowers, reads “Jerrilynn S. Mullins — Beloved wife and best friend.” It could also be added, “a victim of a crime that will likely never be solved.” (The Unsolved Mystery of Jerrilyn Mullins) *** It was on November 15th 1966 that Point Pleasant, West Virginia had its first experience with what later became known as the Mothman. Many believe it was either the cause of a horrific bridge collapse, or perhaps a harbinger of the doom that was soon to come. The mystery remains to this day – as do some of the eerie happenings in the area. (Mothman Attacks) ** 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead in his high school's gym – but the circumstances of his death have brought more questions than answers.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

We often think of the challenges created by technology as separate and disconnected, so trying to solve them feels like playing the world's hardest game of Whac-A-Mole.  What if, instead, we tackled them at the root by identifying the patterns in design, development, and deployment that are causing these issues? Once we understand what's driving inhumane tech, we can develop a set of principles for building humane tech.  In this week's episode of Your Undivided Attention, Aza Raskin sits down with fellow CHT co-founder Randy Fernando to walk through CHT's Seven Principles of Humane Technology. For each principle, they draw on real-world examples from the podcast and beyond to clearly illustrate how these principles (and their absence) show up in the world.  There's so much more here than can go into a single podcast.

Her organization's name is the Solutions Journalism Network.  Aza stated that “chatbots are better than any human at persuading people out of conspiracy theories.” This is in reference to a study that found AIs to be very slightly more persuasive than human experts; we can't extrapolate from that that they are better than any human. The point stands that they are remarkably good persuasion machines. Aza referred to EO Wilson as the “father of evolutionary biology,” but the field he is largely credited with founding is sociobiology.  Aza cited Spain and Denmark as examples of countries that have banned social media for teens. However, these countries have only proposed such bans; they have not been enacted.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Todd Blanche, Josh Turek, Ashley Hinson, Tim McBride, and Spencer Pratt headline today's A.M. Update. Trump tells Miranda Devine at the New York Post he wants acting AG Todd Blanche to stay permanently, and Aaron says the DOJ's activity record makes it hard to argue with. California primary results are still trickling in with Steve Hilton leading the Republican field at 27.8% and Spencer Pratt trailing Karen Bass by only about four points with votes still outstanding, and Aaron breaks down the campaign lessons Pratt's run already offers any candidate willing to learn them. Secretary of State Marco Rubio methodically dismantles Senator Jacky Rosen's gotcha question about the Pakistan negotiations, then tells Congressman Tim McBride that Greenland is part of Denmark "for now" — and Aaron says that was the best line of the week. Iowa's general election matchup is now set: Republican Ashley Hinson faces Paralympic gold medalist and Democrat Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's retiring Senate seat, and Aaron closes with a deep dive on what Zach Lahn's populist anti-big-ag message means for Iowa politics and why it might quietly split the Democratic coalition in November.

The three mustaches convene for one last episode in Texas before moving to their new studio. To mark the occasion, they have chosen an exceptionally "chilling" case. In 1986, a flight attendant named Helle Crafts failed to show up for her scheduled shift. According to her husband, Richard, she had made a last minute trip to Denmark to visit her mother. Or maybe she went to the Canary Islands with a friend. It's hard to tell because Richard can't seem to keep his story straight. Wherever she went, I'm sure she's fine. It's not like she fell into a wood chipper or something... right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

“Sin, Glitter, and Lattes.”That's what Ghiovanna, owner of Coterie Lounge & Cafe, recently started printing on t-shirts. Her friends and customers love it — not just because it's a catchy phrase, but because it's a reminder that community love can defeat extremist hate.Ghiovanna and her friend Roxie D. Mocracy had already worked together to put on drag shows at her cafe. The community loved the shows, despite being a fairly conservative suburban area, so Roxie and Ghiovanna thought a Drag Story Hour could be a fun new addition. Unfortunately, a right-wing extremist saw a post advertising the event and began coordinating an attack against Ghiovanna and her business.But Ghiovanna's community rallied around her. They defended her and Coterie on social media, sold out the Drag Story Hour event (along with the t-shirts), and business has been better than ever. More tourists have started stopping by to buy coffee from her as they drive through the area, and she's even received messages of support from as far as Denmark and Australia. Most importantly, she's heard from parents in her own community that they appreciate having a safe space for their kids. The Drag Story Hour was such a success, Ghiovanna and Roxie have already planned more drag and other LGBTQ-friendly events throughout June — and all year long! Because supporting the queer community isn't just for Pride Month. It's for every month.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.
