After more than 12 years living in Thailand, travel creator and longtime Bangkok resident Erick Prince (Minority Nomad) returns to the podcast to discuss how Thailand has changed, and what foreigners still get wrong about living here.We talk about Bangkok's evolving expat scene, the rise of the DTV visa, police checkpoints, social media's influence on tourism, cultural misunderstandings, and the changing demographics of people moving to Thailand. Erick also shares his favorite festivals, restaurants, hidden gems, and events. Along the way, we discuss the realities of building a life in Thailand, the importance of understanding local culture, and why being a tourist and being a resident are two very different experiences.

Sta jij ook altijd braaf op het knopje van een verkeerslicht te drukken? Of heeft dat eigenlijk helemaal geen zin? We zoeken uit hoe verkeerslichten werken met Sjoert Bakker, adviseur verkeerslichten en doorstroming bij adviesbureau DTV, en Ane Wiersma, secretaris van de Contactgroep Verkeersregeltechnici Nederland. En waarom kunnen we het eigenlijk niet laten om meerdere keren op zo'n knopje te drukken, terwijl één keer genoeg zou moeten zijn? Dat hoor je van GZ-psycholoog en oprichter van psycholoogopafstand.nl, Niek Rosens.

Kriege – so hat man den Eindruck – muss es schon immer gegeben haben. Die aktuellen Nachrichten oder der kurze Blick ins Geschichtsbuch scheinen das zu bestätigen. Doch stimmt das überhaupt? Tatsächlich haben Anthropologen und Archäologen in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine ganz andere Sicht ans Tageslicht gebracht. "Der Mensch ist von Natur aus freundlich", erklärt der Landesarchäologe von Sachsen-Anhalt, Harald Meller. In den hunderttausenden von Jahren der Altsteinzeit, als die Menschen in kleinen Gruppen als Jäger und Sammler durch die Graslandschaften streiften, lebten sie friedlich miteinander. Sie freuten sich, wenn sie auf andere Gruppen trafen und dabei Geschichten und Geschenke austauschen konnten.Doch seit wann und warum ist unsere Spezies dann derart gewalttätig geworden? Darum geht es in dem spannend zu lesenden Buch von Harald Meller, dass er zusammen mit dem niederländischen Evolutionsbiologen und Verhaltensforscher, Carel von Schaik und dem Wissenschaftsjournalisten Kai Michel geschrieben hat. "Die Evolution der Gewalt. Warum wir Frieden wollen, aber Kriege führen", so der Titel, erschienen bei DTV. Und anders als man vermuten könnte, hat das Buch eine durchaus positive Botschaft. Wenn nämlich Kriege nichts Naturgegebenes sind, sondern ein Ergebnis einer späteren, kulturellen Entwicklung, dann könnte es uns auch eines Tages gelingen, sie abzuschaffen, so Harald Meller im Gespräch mit MDR-Redakteur Stefan Nölke. Ein bisschen Balsam in diesen kriegerischen Zeiten!Verfügbar bis 13. Juni 2027

Podcast: Digital Transformation ViewpointsEpisode: Challenges of OT Cybersecurity with NetFoundry CEO Galeal ZinoPub date: 2026-04-29Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this edition of DTV, ARC vice president of research Larry O'Brien talks to NetFoundry founder and CEO Galeal Zino about the challenges facing end users when it comes to OT cybersecurity in the age of AI and digitalization. NetFoundry was created to address fundamental weaknesses in traditional networking and cybersecurity. We discuss how traditional networking is not designed for today's digital transformation requirements. Complexity created by layered security tools increases risk and reduces reliability. NetFoundry replaces IP‑centric networking with cryptographically verifiable identities and policy‑based authorization, aligning networking more closely with zero‑trust principles.NetFoundry also maintains and actively invests in OpenZiti, its open‑source secure networking platform. The goal is to create a “Linux of secure networking,” supported by a growing global community. Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?

On todays show Scott is joined DTV expert Matt Poirier (DTVC podcast) to talked about forgotten Natasha Henstridge/Christopher Lambert sci-fi actioner "Adrenalin: Fear the Rush."Over the course of the episode Matt gives us his insight into the career of late DTV favourite director Albert Pyun while we also get into this particular feature productions battle (namely the 110 minute directors cut being slashed to a mere 76) and it's difficult. Plus, we wonder what Natasha Hendstrige's career could have been with a few different decision as well as celebrating our man Lambert for being his usual cool self (even if his character is kind of useless here).You can check out all of Matt's great work on DTV films here"All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy. Music by Elyssa Vulpes.

Moderatorin: Daniela Kraus Auch im zweiten Teil berichten wir, wie und welchen Vergnügungen sich die Besucher hingegeben haben, aber auch, wie sich Metternich über alle Verhandlungen informierte. Die Flucht Napoleons von der Insel Elba brachte große Unruhe in das Geschehen, am 18. Juni 1815 wurde Napoleon bei Waterloo endgültig besiegt und in der Folge auf die Insel St. Helena verbannt. Noch vorher, am 9.Juni, wurden die Schlussakte durch die Vertreter Großbritanniens, Preußens, Österreichs, Russlands, Frankreichs, Spaniens, Portugals und Schwedens unterzeichnet. Diese Schlussakte werden im Österreichischen Staatsarchiv aufbewahrt und wurden 1997 in das Weltdokumentenerbe der Unesco aufgenommen.

Disney Sing-Along Songs were the ultimate 90s childhood ritual—but they weren't exactly a Disney original. Did you grow up sitting on the living room carpet, waiting for the "bouncing ball" to start? In today's episode, we're pulling the tape out of the vault to discover the secret history of the Disney Sing-Along Songs VHS series. From Disney's copy-cat MTV music videos to a spark of inspiration from the director of Queen's *Bohemian Rhapsody* to a low-budget promotional tool for *Song of the South*, we explore how Disney turned archival footage into a multi-million dollar feedback loop fueling a generation of Disney fans. We're tracing the history of Disney Sing-Along Songs from the 1920s cinema tropes of Max Fleischer to the modern-day *Frozen* Sing-Along at Hollywood Studios. Why do you still remember every word to these songs? It wasn't just magic—it was a perfectly executed home video synergy strategy. In this video, we cover: - The "DTV" experiment and the MTV influence on Disney. - How *Kidsongs* forced Disney to change their home video game. - The "Rewind and Repeat" ritual that defined a generation of Disney fans. - The secret role of Professor Owl and the "bouncing ball" technology. - How these "cheap" tapes became the blueprint for modern Disney Karaoke.

Welcome to the PRmoment Podcast.This is our quarterly bonus podcast where we chat about Rajar's latest results. For those of you who aren't aware of Rajar - it was established in 1992 and operates the single audience measurement system for the radio industry in the United KingdomRaja publishes the listenership figures each quarter, which is good for insight for PR, curious about how the public engages with radio and how the market is performing.On the show today, we have James Dickman, newsroom producer at Markettiers, who will discuss the latest Rajar results for Q4 2025. Here's a summary of this quarter's Rajar results highlights:Radio stayed a mass-reach medium in Q4 2025, with 50.0m adults tuning in weekly (86% of the UK 15+ population) and 1.015bn hours listened per week.Digital listening now dominates delivery. 44m adults used a digital route each week (75% of adults), and digital accounted for 75% of all listening hours. Online listening made up 30% of total hours, reflecting continued growth in app/streaming and connected devices.Within digital, DAB remained the biggest platform. RAJAR reported 757m weekly digital hours in total, split mainly across DAB (427m), smart speakers (188m), and website/apps (115m), with DTV (28m) also contributing.Listening continues to be anchored in everyday settings. Weekly listening is strongest at home (60%) and in vehicles (58%), and by share of hours it's 62% in-home, 26% in-vehicle, and 12% at work/elsewhere—useful context for daypart and placement planning.Commercial radio led the market overall, with 55.2% share of listening versus 42.8% for BBC Radio in the quarter's top-line results.Smart speakers are now a mainstream listening route: 64% of smart-speaker users use them for radio, and 21% listen to radio on a smart speaker every day. RAJAR also noted broader audio habits, with 38% listening to podcasts monthly and 19% using catch-up radio monthly.

THIS WEEK: Hologram Man (1995), Last Man Standing (1995) and Rage (1995)Sure, you've heard of white guy karate legend Jalal Merhi, but did you know that there was a completely unrelated Merhi who was silently pumping out high-octane DTV films by the dozen throughout the 1990s? It's time our audience got to know the name Joseph Merhi.Donate to Palestinian Medical AidSupport Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

“It's a nice night to die.”On this episode we review a pivotal film in the career of Steven Seagal. HALF PAST DEAD (2002) was the aikido arm thrower's last theatrically released movie before he moved into the netherworld of DTV. But what do we make of the pony-tailed pugilist's last cinematic outing?From gigging with Michael Jackson, to unconvincing hair dye, to a controversial exploding helicopter scene, we discuss every element of this important film.Show notesHalf Past DeadDirector: Don Michael PaulStars: Steven Seagal, Ja Rule, Tony Plana, Morris Chestnut, Linda Thorson, Nia PeeplesPlot: FBI agent Sasha Petrosevitch goes undercover in the newly reopened Alcatraz prison to find out who killed his wife. While there he stumbles onto a plot involving a death-row inmate and his $200 million stash of gold.Follow Exploding HelicopterBluesky: @chopperfireball.bsky.socialWebsite: explodinghelicopter.comInstagram: explodinghelicopter

We recently realized, though it was never our specific intention, that we covered Thomas Jane movies the last two January's of this podcast. So, what the heck...let's lean in! Welcome to "Thomas JANEuary," a two-episode tribute to the rugged, prickly, shoe-hating star of The Punisher, The Mist, Mutant Chronicles, HBO's Hung, and so much more. First up, we're looking at 2010's Give 'Em Hell, Malone. A relic from the dying days of the DTV era, this indie neo-noir thriller seeks to pay tribute to the hardboiled PI stories and classic film noirs of old...whether or not it truly has the budget to do so. Can Thomas Jane effectively channel the spirit of Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Mike Hammer, and other classic hardboiled heroes? Can Highlander director Russell Mulcahy still conjure the same sort of visual dynamism with a much lower budget? And where does the line between loving genre pastiche and cynical genre parody truly begin, or end? We discuss all this and more, as we give 'em hell, Malone.

We sit down with Steve Bucknam Jr, or most commonly known as Steve at DTV. We talk about his start in this sport and how he ended up being the most heard voice on Derby Nation. Hope you enjoy the listen!!

For Hallweenus we venture into the black hole of early-2000s DTV — where a melodramatic group of mid-thirtysomething “teens” are haunted by a pajama-wearing Headless Horseman who looks like a Phish tourhead. Everything is spared in this bizarre attempt to cash in on Tim Burton's hit… except their lives! Sharpen your Excalibur sword and zip up those Dave Matthews pants — class is in session at Sleepy Hollow High! Plus: listener feedback, a Halloween Battle of the Bands, and Heather unleashed!
