UK Cider Tour 2025 Audio Snap Shots Wallace and Ria in Bristol In this Episode 469 of Cider Chat, we brings listeners inside the UK Totally Cider Tour 2025 through the voices of the guests who joined. From Somerset, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, to Wales guests on this tour discovered not just cider and perry, but also community, history, and inspiration. First Impressions and Highlights Many guests shared that they signed up to experience places they couldn't access on their own. From the scale of Showering's Cider Mill, the second largest in the country to the intimate welcome at Oliver's, the contrast certainly left a deep impression. The discovery of Perry was a recurring theme. From Ohio travelers Chris and Megan who tasted their very first Perry on the tour, while Rodney from Virginia declared he'd be grafting Perry scions at home. Personal Connections Group Selfie with Sam Leach of Wilding Cider For repeat travelers like Debbie and Bryce from California, the tour reaffirmed how relationships with makers enrich the experience: “ They treat us like friends, not tourists.” Ancha from Hungary spoke of the joy of hiking the Malvern Hills in the rain and celebrating with fellow cider lovers. Rachel and Mary of Kanga Cider in Texas noted the value of orchard insights for their own plantings back home, while Thomas from Australia praised the tour for covering the full spectrum of producers—from industrial to artisanal. Learning and Inspiration Guests emphasized that tasting ciders in their native terroir cannot be replaced by books or certifications. Dan from Spacetime Mead and Cider Works in Dunmore Pennsylvania highlighted how only by being in Herefordshire or Somerset can one grasp the range of English cider styles. Susan and Tom of Heeman's Cellars in Ontario pointed out how the pacing of the tour allowed real reflection—something missing from busier farm tours. The Takeaway Whether first-timers or repeat guests, everyone agreed: the Totally Cider Tour offers access, education, and camaraderie that can't be replicated alone. As David of Oregon said it best, “It wasn't really about the cider—it was about the people.” Contact info for Totally Cider Tours Website page: https://ciderchat.com/totally-cider-tours/ For details on upcoming cider journeys and to join the waitlist, send an email to info@ciderchat.com and write in the heading Totally Cider Tours.

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to see tomorrow? Not through crystal balls or tea leaves, but through a profound relationship that transcends human understanding.Join Amakri Isubuye, your neighborhood word trader, as he explores the fascinating concept of foreseeing the future through divine partnership. Drawing from popular culture examples like the TV show Eli Stone and a Nicolas Cage film, Amakri reveals how fictional characters' abilities to perceive future events were amplified through specific relationships – pointing to a deeper spiritual truth.The cornerstone of this episode is Acts 1:8, where Jesus promises his disciples they would receive power through the Holy Spirit, enabling them to be witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. This biblical foundation establishes that true foresight comes not from analytical thinking or data processing alone, but through spiritual connection.While we value analysis and intelligence in today's world, Amakri argues these tools have limitations. They help us learn and understand, but revelation – seeing what cannot be naturally perceived – requires tapping into something beyond ourselves. This relationship-based vision doesn't typically arrive all at once, but in "bite-sized" portions that guide our next steps without overwhelming us with the entire journey.For those seeking to develop this capacity to see tomorrow, the message resonates clearly: invest in your relationship with the Holy Spirit. This divine partnership transforms how you perceive time and possibility – not just predicting the future, but helping shape it with certainty rather than probability.Ready to see beyond the horizon of your current understanding? Listen now and discover how you might walk into tomorrow with clarity and purpose through the ultimate visionary partnership.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

Noah Strycker is the Indiana Jones of birding, willing to brave jungle heat and Arctic cold just to spot that rare bunting, owl, or hawk. In 2015, in a quest that spanned 41 countries and all seven continents, he set a world record by finding more than 6,000 different kinds of birds—more than half the bird species on Earth—in a single year. But, as Noah explains in this episode, searching out our feathered friends doesn't necessarily require epic treks across the globe. Sometimes birding is as simple as keeping your eye on a backyard feeder or taking a mindful walk in the woods. It can also be a great part of any road trip in the West, from the canyons of Arizona to the Bering Strait. Noah regales aspiring birders Mitti and Michelle with tales of his own greatest birding adventures and offers tips for anyone who wants to embark on one of their own.

Episode #385 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth set off on a globe-trotting musical adventure with Vacation Destinations. From grand European-inspired capitals to spooky holiday towns, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Toussaint to the vibrant celebrations of Rio, we're exploring songs that capture the spirit of travel, culture, and escape. Each track is more than just music, it's a ticket to another world. You'll hear songs that evoke scenic road trips, bustling markets, cozy villages, romantic landscapes, and even a few places where things get just a little eerie. Whether you're the kind of traveler who loves relaxation, adventure, or the strange and unusual, there's something here for everyone. No passport required—just a good pair of headphones and a love for video game music.
