Podcasts about Dubrovnik

Glasgow lad Chris Currie — better known by his production and DJ alias Dubrovnik (UK) — returns to Avenue Red with a two-hour payload of precision deep, techy, hypnotic goodness. Expect shimmering splashes of melody and colour throughout, alongside plenty of dub-infused pressure in this earthy, tripped-out brew of tunes. This mix is partly in honour of Chris in his absence at this year's repeat summer daze event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, south Manchester. Only one of the Glasgow Chrises (other one being Chris Curtis - in attendance!) could make it this time. But to warm us up? We have this ace mix that somehow evokes that moment in Alan Partridge's chat show where 007 chap Roger Moore couldn't quite make it to the show... got stuck near Chiswick Roundabout apparently. Awful, awful business... Dubrovnik (UK) is not visiting Croatia either... he's just playing at some prestigious golf tournament. But good luck to him, right?! Many of his own tracks: released and unreleased; are featured in this hyper-focused session of deep, insightful 4/4 musical engineering. Get it on. "An honour and privilege to support Avenue Red boss Alec on his global outreach of sharing quality music via this awesome platform!! Hope you enjoy the mix. Took it through the gears and condensed what would normally be an extended set into a 2-hour story from deep dubbyness to spacey bangness!"

Don't mind us, just teeing up the next episode of the DISRESPECTED.

Vinyl records, coffee table books, low-maintenance pot plants: from Dublin to Dubrovnik, all good hipsters have the same stuff. The Italian writer Vincenzo Latronico captures this boring international aesthetic beautifully in his hit novel ‘Perfection', while skewering millennial life in general. Do you like hearing about Lisbon food, the internet vs real life, and everything that's wrong with the word ‘expat'? Then you'll love our inaugural book club conversation, even if you haven't read the book. We're also talking this week about a fugitive Polish politician's transatlantic dash, and the questionable Frenchness of a celebrated giraffe. Listen to the end if you want to know why we are launching a side-business importing sun loungers.Our book club is brought to you in collaboration with the European Review of Books, featuring the magazine's co-founder Wiegertje Postma along with Portuguese bookworm Teresa Bandeira de Carvalho. The latest issue of the European Review of Books is out today!You can subscribe to Teresa's excellent Substack here, and read her viral post on the word ‘expat' here.This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Zenodot website, where you can check if a book has been translated into your language, and the European Press Prize shortlist.NEED MORE BOOK CHAT? Subscribers of The Europeans have access to an extended version of our book club conversation – twice as long and packed with thoughtful observations about everything from whether or not this story has a happy ending, to... how to run a book club.

Avenue Red had a very enjoyable sunshine-drenched live session on the 10th May 2025 at the excellent underground techno pub named OverDraught, located in south Manchester's Levenshulme area. This was a 10-hour long session and the original recording has been frankly slept on for precisely 1 year. But here we are now proud to present this juicy excerpt, which is the first 5 hours and 40 minutes of the event when things were "relatively coherent", shall we say. Expect all shades of underground house, deep house, techno, dub techno, tech house, electro, electronica, IDM and more from a shedload of records and some digital action too!

Affirmations aren't just positive words—they're powerful tools that can reshape your thoughts, rewire your brain, and shift your reality. In this episode, I'm diving deep into how affirmations actually work, the science behind them, and how you can use them to break through limiting beliefs and step into success. From climbing the historic walls of Dubrovnik to overcoming stage nerves at Wreath Makers Live, I'll share personal experiences where affirmations helped me push past fear and show up with confidence. You'll also learn about the Reticular Activating System (RAS)—the part of your brain that filters your reality based on what you repeatedly tell yourself. Plus, I'll walk you through a simple yet powerful affirmation exercise that you can try today to start shifting your mindset. And if you've ever wondered how to make affirmations truly effective, I'll share practical tips to help you move beyond just saying the words to actually believing and embodying them. What affirmation are you focusing on this week? Send me a message or share in the community—I'd love to hear from you!

Soms begint een fietsreis niet met een droom, maar met een noodzaak. Daan Russchen stapte op de fiets na een intens medisch traject rond uitgezaaide nierkanker. Niet omdat hij zichzelf een echte fietser vindt, maar omdat hij ruimte in zijn hoofd zocht. En weer het gevoel: ik kan vooruit, op eigen kracht.In zijn boek Panta rhei – Een tocht over bergen en bijwerkingen lopen twee verhalen door elkaar. Het reisverhaal van Dubrovnik naar Zutphen, dwars door de Balkan, en het verhaal van alles wat daaraan voorafging: diagnoses, scans, behandelingen, herstel. Het is geen boek dat je alleen maar “meeneemt op reis”. Het laat ook zien wat er onder de huid blijft zitten, zelfs als je wielen blijven draaien.De titel zegt eigenlijk alles: panta rhei, alles stroomt. Niets blijft precies zoals het was. Onderweg krijgt dat een heel concreet ritme. Water. Pauze. Slapen. Doortrappen. Het leven wordt kleiner, overzichtelijker, soms zelfs lichter. En tegelijk reist die andere werkelijkheid mee: onzekerheid, bijwerkingen, en gesprekken met artsen en dierbaren die niet na één nacht verdwijnen.kijk op trappentegenkanker.nl voor meer informatie over Daan en zijn boek.Op deze pagina vind je meer podcastsafleveringen.

It's called All In: How to Make Love Stick.Vinko and his husband, Andrea, co-founded a dating agency called Beau Brummell Introductions, for gay men in Australia, the US, the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, and New Zealand.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Through the Storm: A Serendipitous Connection in Dubrovnik Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2026-03-14-22-34-01-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Пролеће је стигло у Дубровник, доносећи свежину цветова и мекани мирис мора.En: Spring arrived in Dubrovnik, bringing the freshness of blossoms and the gentle scent of the sea.Sr: У маленом кафићу на обали, где су зидови украшени старим фотографијама града, седела је Ана.En: In a small cafe on the coast, where the walls were adorned with old photographs of the city, sat Ana.Sr: Њено место поред прозора било је савршено за посматрање светова у пролазу.En: Her spot by the window was perfect for watching the world go by.Sr: Милош је први пут дошао у овај кафић прошлог понедељка.En: Miloš came to this cafe for the first time last Monday.Sr: Његов фотоапарат је висио о рамену, спреман да ухвати лепоту пред пролеће у Медитеранској клими.En: His camera hung from his shoulder, ready to capture the beauty of spring in the Mediterranean climate.Sr: Тих и замишљен, није знала како да започне разговор.En: Quiet and thoughtful, he didn't know how to start a conversation.Sr: Драгана, власница кафића, приметила је Милоша већ првог дана.En: Dragana, the cafe owner, noticed Miloš the very first day.Sr: Њена весела природа увек је привлачила госте.En: Her cheerful nature always attracted guests.Sr: "Младићу, овде је најбољи поглед на градске зидине", рекла је, пружајући му шолицу еспреса.En: "Young man, here is the best view of the city walls," she said, offering him a cup of espresso.Sr: "А имамо и посебне колачиће домаће.En: "And we also have special homemade cookies."Sr: "Седеле су тако, Ана и Милош, недалеко једно од другог, али као да су били светлосним годинама удаљени.En: There they sat, Ana and Miloš, not far from each other, yet it seemed like they were light years apart.Sr: Милош је приметио Анине слике и како је са великом пажњом ствара.En: Miloš noticed Ana's paintings and how she created with great care.Sr: Али његова стидљива природа га је задржавала.En: But his shy nature held him back.Sr: Ана, с друге стране, осетила је нешто топло у његовим погледима, али је недавно искуство чинило опрезном.En: Ana, on the other hand, felt something warm in his glances, but a recent experience made her cautious.Sr: Једног дана, облаци су затамнили небо изнад Дубровника.En: One day, clouds darkened the sky above Dubrovnik.Sr: Бију олуја снажног ветра и кише.En: A storm of strong wind and rain raged.Sr: Људи су се похитали у кафић, тражећи заклон.En: People hurried into the cafe seeking shelter.Sr: Ана и Милош, случајно или не, нашли су се за истим столом.En: Ana and Miloš, whether by chance or not, found themselves at the same table.Sr: Бучно је било, али у том тренутку, остали су сами у својим мислима.En: It was noisy, but at that moment, they were alone in their thoughts.Sr: Милош је почео разговор, једноставно и природно.En: Miloš began the conversation, simply and naturally.Sr: "Ваше слике су прелепе," рекао је, са лаганим осмехом.En: "Your paintings are beautiful," he said, with a gentle smile.Sr: Ана је подигла поглед, захвална на његовим речима.En: Ana looked up, grateful for his words.Sr: Осетила је да пригушена светлост олује доноси осећај интимности.En: She felt that the subdued light of the storm brought a sense of intimacy.Sr: Почели су разговарати о својим животима, о уметности и фотографији.En: They started talking about their lives, about art and photography.Sr: Олуја је напољу беснела, али унутар њих је расла нежност.En: The storm raged outside, but inside them, tenderness was growing.Sr: Драгана их је гледала иза шанка, задовољна што се њена мала идеја о повезивању људи остварила.En: Dragana watched them from behind the counter, pleased that her small idea of connecting people had come true.Sr: Када се небо коначно разбистрило, Ана и Милош су се осећали као да се све променило.En: When the sky finally cleared, Ana and Miloš felt like everything had changed.Sr: Разменили су бројеве телефона, пуни обећања за неке нове почетке.En: They exchanged phone numbers, full of promises for new beginnings.Sr: Милош је научио да отвори срце, док је Ана разумела да је љубав поново могућа.En: Miloš learned to open his heart, while Ana realized that love was possible again.Sr: Док су корачали ка излазу, Дубровник је показао своју лепоту, обасјан сунцем после кише.En: As they walked towards the exit, Dubrovnik displayed its beauty, bathed in sunlight after the rain.Sr: Са надом у ново зближавање и уметничку инспирацију, знали су да је ово почетак нечег посебног.En: With hope for new closeness and artistic inspiration, they knew this was the beginning of something special.

Send a textWonder what luxury at sea really takes when the cameras stop rolling? We sit with Captain Kerry Titheradge from Bravo's Below Deck, a leader trusted with 300-foot vessels and volatile reality TV moments. We unpack the true costs of chartering a superyacht, why five-star hotel service can't match a dialed-in crew at sea, and how leadership—not boat handling—is the captain's hardest job. We get a candid look at production rhythms, safety priorities, and the moment a cameraman helped avert disaster. Then we slip into adventure mode: Cappadocia's sunrise balloons, Fethiye's paragliding cliffs, Dubrovnik's stone ramparts, Kotor's dramatic bay, and Australia's trifecta of the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, and Barossa Valley vineyards where kangaroos hop between rows. Back in Florida, Kerry chases quiet flight on an e-foil, skimming above water in search of small, perfect moments.That ethos flows into Yachting Concepts, his company guiding new owners—especially under 100 feet. Buying a yacht is the easy part; stewardship is the real voyage. Kerry closes with a Maldives memory threaded through Middle Eastern terminals alive with peaceful diversity, coral gardens facing climate pressures, and a solo ascent of the Eiffel Tower on the way home.If you enjoyed this sea-level view of luxury, leadership, and adventure, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more curious travelers can find us. **Our guest, Captain Kerry Titheradge, CEO of Yachting Concepts, appeared for three years on Bravo TV's popular reality show Below Deck.Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

The Mediterranean cruise market is surging toward nearly six million passengers in 2026, fueled by massive mega-ships and fierce competition between European and American cruise lines. This episode explores the explosive growth reshaping ports from Santorini to Dubrovnik, MSC's bold strategy to broadcast all 104 World Cup matches fleet-wide, and the sobering reality check delivered by Celebrity Infinity's power failure off the coast of Greece—proving that even billion-dollar floating cities are still at the mercy of aging hardware.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Winter's Warm Embrace: Rediscovering Life in Dubrovnik Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2026-02-21-08-38-20-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Дубровник је био као из бајке, сакривен у загрљају зиме.En: Dubrovnik was like something out of a fairy tale, hidden in the embrace of winter.Sr: У јутарњем светлу, његове старе улице од камена, увек живописне, сада су биле мирне, тиhe.En: In the morning light, its old stone streets, always colorful, were now quiet and still.Sr: То је било савршено место за почетак авантуре на коју се запутише Милош и Светлана.En: It was the perfect place to start the adventure that Miloš and Svetlana embarked upon.Sr: Обоје су желели нешто више од уобичајеног, нешто што ће им донети нову енергију у живот.En: Both wanted something more than the usual, something that would bring new energy into their lives.Sr: Милош је сањао о томе да ухвати лепоту ветром обликованог града кроз објектив фотоапарата.En: Miloš dreamed of capturing the beauty of the wind-shaped city through the lens of a camera.Sr: Иза сваке тишине, он је осећао музику времена и историју која је чекала да буде откривена.En: Behind every silence, he felt the music of time and the history waiting to be discovered.Sr: Али, увек је сумњао у своју способност да до краја пренесе то чудесно стање духа.En: But, he always doubted his ability to fully convey that wondrous state of mind.Sr: Светлана, с друге стране, желела је да побегне од канцеларијске рутине.En: Svetlana, on the other hand, wanted to escape the office routine.Sr: Њена љубав према авантурама често је била пригушена страхом од непознатог.En: Her love for adventures was often muted by the fear of the unknown.Sr: Путовање је било спонтано.En: The journey was spontaneous.Sr: Док су крстарали обалом, гледали су раскошно плаво море које се бескрајно простирало испред њих.En: As they cruised along the coast, they watched the lavishly blue sea stretching endlessly before them.Sr: Ветрови су били хладни, али нису умањили њихов ентузијазам.En: The winds were cold, but they did not diminish their enthusiasm.Sr: Када су стигли у Дубровник, Милош се сетио да је време да подели свој сан са Светланом.En: When they arrived in Dubrovnik, Miloš remembered it was time to share his dream with Svetlana.Sr: Док су корачали кроз уске улице, испричао јој је о својој страсти према фотографији и жељи да ухвати савршен тренутак у овом предивном граду.En: As they walked through the narrow streets, he told her about his passion for photography and his desire to capture the perfect moment in this beautiful city.Sr: Светлана је осетила његову страст и одлучила да баци правила кроз прозор.En: Svetlana felt his passion and decided to throw the rules out the window.Sr: Схватила је да, ако желе авантуру, морају се одмакнути од типичног туристичког путовања.En: She realized that if they wanted an adventure, they needed to step away from the typical tourist trip.Sr: Предложила је да истраже стари део зидина који су сада били готово заборављени.En: She suggested they explore the old part of the walls that were now almost forgotten.Sr: Иако са страхом, њена радозналост је превладала.En: Although scared, her curiosity prevailed.Sr: Када су стигли до тог скривеног дела зидина, застао је дах обојици.En: When they reached that hidden part of the walls, both caught their breath.Sr: Сунце је почело да залази, бојећи небо у златне и ружичасте нијансе.En: The sun began to set, painting the sky in golden and pink hues.Sr: Њихов свет је постао величанствена слика која се развејава у вечности.En: Their world became a magnificent picture unfolding into eternity.Sr: „Ово је тренутак, Милоше,“ шапнула је Светлана.En: "This is the moment, Miloše," Svetlana whispered.Sr: „Узми ту слику.En: "Take that picture."Sr: “Милош је уз дрхтавицу узео фотоапарат.En: Miloš, with a trembling hand, took the camera.Sr: Са сваким кликом, његово самопоуздање је расло.En: With each click, his confidence grew.Sr: Снимио је тренутак који је сањао, док се сунце давало мору.En: He captured the moment he had dreamed of as the sun gave itself to the sea.Sr: Испунило је његово срце задовољством и надом.En: It filled his heart with satisfaction and hope.Sr: Светлана је, осећајући његово задовољство, отворила своје срце за неизвесност.En: Svetlana, feeling his satisfaction, opened her heart to uncertainty.Sr: Као да је поново открила смисао живота који је толико пута бежао од ње у зидовима једноличности.En: It was as if she had rediscovered the meaning of life that had so often eluded her within the walls of monotony.Sr: Вратили су се из Дубровника са више од слика и сећања.En: They returned from Dubrovnik with more than just pictures and memories.Sr: Милош је напокон поверовao у своје вештине и одлучио да се посвети фотографији.En: Miloš finally believed in his skills and decided to dedicate himself to photography.Sr: Светлана је прихватила живот са више спонтаности, пунa нове енергије и могућности за авантуре.En: Svetlana embraced life with more spontaneity, full of new energy and opportunities for adventures.Sr: Зима у

Kaj je zdaj s temi Hrvati? S pomladjo se vrnejo ptice selivke, z volitvami se vrnejo Hrvati. Točni kot švicarska ura. Včasih so prihajali s piranskim zalivom, Jožkom Jorasom, ratifikacijo in ostalimi obmejnimi praksami. Letos je drugače. Letos so predvolilna tema, ker so boljši od nas. V gospodarstvu in – če lahko dodamo – v nogometu. Toliko boljši so od nas, da se gospodarstveniki selijo na Hrvaško. Kot se prej omenjene ptice selivke jeseni selijo na jug. Ker pri nas »v gospodarskem okolju vlada zima«, pravijo podjetniki in gospodarstveniki. Oboje bi lahko združili v eno samo besedo in bi jim poslej pravili kapitalisti. Ampak ne moremo, ker bi bila nato gospodarska zbornica »kapitalistična zbornica«, Klub slovenskih podjetnikov pa »Klub slovenskih kapitalistov« – kar pa se ne sliši primerno. Kakorkoli. Hrvati so nas prehiteli. To se običajnim možganom sliši neverjetno, ampak tako zatrjujejo ljudje, ki poznajo gospodarske številke. In te govorijo Hrvatom v prid. Torej; ali lažejo številke, ali lažejo novodobni  hrvatofili, ki so bili še predvčerajšnjim hrvatofobi, ali pa laže razgled, če razumni potuje po Hrvaški. Pa s tem ne mislimo na Istro in  Dalmacijo, na Hvar in Dubrovnik. Mislimo, recimo, na podravsko magistralo od Virovitice do Osijeka. Tam se naši preroki gospodarske rasti zagotovo niso peljali. Ker tam so samo vasi brez ljudi, polja brez posevkov in obup in beda silita iz nemih oken. A vsaka trditev – tako tudi ta o hrvaškem prehitevanju -– ima na srečo svoj preizkus. Ker so nas po Slovaški, Češki, Poljski, Litvi Latviji in Estoniji ter najbrž tudi Romuniji sedaj prehiteli še Hrvati, Srbi pa so tako ali tako pokupili vse slovensko gospodarstvo, moramo izvesti eksaktni preizkus. Ki je, kot vsi eksaktni preizkusi, dokončen. Če torej slovenska javna občila poročajo, da so nas Hrvati prehiteli, bi morala hrvaška javna občila poročati, da so prehiteli Slovence. Pa tudi ob skrbnem pregledu, celo vsakodnevnem spremljanju medijev v sosednji državi, nismo naleteli na nič podobnega. Oni sami so prepričani, da so njihovo gospodarstvo, BDP, razvitost, socialna država in kar je te navlake, globoko pod slovensko ravnijo. Se pravi, da smo mi prepričani, kako so nas Hrvati prehiteli, Hrvati sami pa so prepričani, da capljajo za Slovenijo. Pa se naj človek zdaj na volitvah prav odloči. Nekje pa so nas Hrvati le prehiteli in dovolite, da naredimo manjši ovinek in današnjo oddajo intoniramo kot dvovsebinsko. Hrvati so namreč ponovno uvedli naborništvo. In se tako pridružili tistim evropskim državam, ki so prepričane, da bodo Rusi udarili čez – če citiramo legendarnega Zmaga Jelinčiča. Hrvaški mladeniči morajo odslej na vojaško usposabljanje in ko je vodja slovenske opozicije oni dan delil modrost, je verjetno mislil prav na nabornike, ko je Hrvaško postavil pred Slovenijo. In dodal, da pod njegovo vlado neka oblika vojaškega usposabljanja čaka tudi slovensko mladež. Oprostite, ampak na tem mestu moramo izraziti močno nestrinjanje z načrti vodje opozicije. Vemo in verjamemo, da je v Sloveniji mnogo navdušencev nad flintami in uniformami, še več je onih, ki menijo, da smo vojaško ogroženi, največ pa je tistih, ki trdijo, da je za obrambo domovine treba dati tudi življenje. V postmoderni družbi gre za preživete koncepte, za romantično nakladanje, ki bi se ga morala družba, obsedena s knjigami za samopomoč in osebnostno rast, globoko sramovati. Kar predlagamo – da ne bomo le a prióri proti – je začasna suspenzija anonimnosti volitev. Kot vemo, je anonimnost na internetu civilizacijo že tako ali tako prignala na rob propada, zato dajmo za določen čas ukiniti anonimnost demokratičnega odločanja. Se pravi, da boste tisti, ki boste volili politične opcije, ki zagovarjajo, da naši otroci postanejo ali žrtve, ali morilci, natančno registrirani. Ko pride uvedba naborništva v Sloveniji ponovno na mizo, naj se vojašnice napolnijo samo z vašimi otroki. Ker da nekdo anonimno upravlja z življenjem in usodo našega otroka, je povsem nesprejemljivo in v tretjem tisočletju moralno nevzdržno. Seveda ne gre le za opozicijo, tudi sedanja vlada je lepo zarezala v militarizacijo družbe, zato naj povzamemo mnenje civiliziranega dela slovenske javnosti: »Možnost, da nas napadejo ali Avstrijci, ali Italijani, ali Madžari, ali Hrvati, ali pač Rusi, Izraelci, Palestinci, Danci oziroma  Američani, je nična. Pika. Mnogo večja je možnost, da se voda spremeni v kri, da žabe preplavijo deželo, hiše in palače, da se prah dežele spremeni v insekte, da roji muh napadejo slovenske domove, da množično pogine živina, da toča z ognjem opustoši polja, nato pa pridejo kobilice in požrejo, kar je ostalo.« In tako naprej in tako nazaj.

During Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE, Rodi Basso, Founder & CEO of the E1 Series, shares the inside story behind the world's first all-electric powerboat racing championship and explains how E1 is shaping the future of sustainable water mobility.Born during the COVID pandemic and developed in collaboration with Alejandro Agag (Formula E, Extreme E), E1 was conceived not just as a racing series, but as a global technology laboratory for electric propulsion on water. Backed by Basso's extensive experience at Formula One, McLaren, and Magneti Marelli, the championship secured a landmark 25-year exclusivity agreement with the UIM, officially launching the World Electric Powerboat Championship in Monaco.At the heart of E1 is the revolutionary RaceBird — a purpose-built electric raceboat that uses hydrofoils to lift the hull above the water, dramatically reducing drag. Despite water being nearly 800 times denser than air, the RaceBird achieves exceptional efficiency, with the battery accounting for less than 20% of total weight and top speeds approaching 52 knots.

Three women. Three abductions. Same beliefs. Same geography. Same church.Elleshia Seymour is now in Croatian custody after allegedly fleeing Utah with her four children because she believed the apocalypse was coming. She left behind a to-do list instructing herself to shred documents and buy a burner phone. She left a note she described as a "message from God." And she left a secret TikTok account filled with videos warning that Salt Lake City would be destroyed and COVID vaccines were turning people into zombies.Her children — ages 11, 8, 7, and 3 — are now trapped in a state-run orphanage in Dubrovnik. Their father is there. He can see them two hours a day. The three-year-old doesn't understand why he can't go home.This case would be disturbing enough on its own. But Elleshia Seymour isn't an anomaly. She's a pattern.Lori Vallow believed the same things. Her children J.J. and Tylee were murdered — their bodies found in her boyfriend Chad Daybell's backyard. Spring Thibaudeau believed the same things. She fled toward Canada with her teenage son before the FBI caught her.All three women came from LDS backgrounds. All three developed apocalyptic beliefs centered on the same theology — the same "end times" doctrine the Church teaches as mainstream. All three left children traumatized or dead.The LDS Church is worth an estimated $265 billion. It was fined by the SEC for hiding its wealth. It excommunicated Chad Daybell — but only after the murders. It excommunicated Julie Rowe — but only after years of influence.This is the story of a radicalization pipeline that keeps producing victims — and an institution that keeps looking the other way.#ElleshiaSeymour #LoriVallow #ChadDaybell #MormonDoomsday #LDSChurch #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrime #CroatiaAbduction #ChildAbduction #ReligiousExtremismJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It’s time for a change. Since I started my handmade business, Epheriell, in 2008, the world has changed so much. I have changed so much. In 2008 I was a 27 year old tuition centre manager, living with my English boyfriend in the Brisbane suburbs, and I started making jewellery in my spare time to fulfil a creative urge I had neglected for years. When I started Epheriell as a hobby business, I had zero idea that I would be here, talking to you, almost 18 years later, after having built a number of different businesses – all in the realm of the handmade sphere – and having turned over almost two million dollars from those businesses in those years. Wow. I’ve never pulled that number up before! It’s a bit overwhelming to think I managed to create products with my own two hands and one brain, and have been able to make a living from them for all this time. But. The world has changed. I have changed. And it’s time for me to move on. So, as of June 2026, I’ll be retiring from handmade business education, and I’ll be putting Epheriell on indefinite sabbatical. What will I do next? I don’t actually know yet. But we’ve finally reached a point where we are in the financial position to allow me to take a sabbatical where I will have the space to rest, reflect, get the dosage of my MHT right (😆), and decide what’s next for me. I’ve officially reached middle age this year – I keep joking about the fact that I got my first reading glasses and my MHT prescription in the same week! I turn 45 in 2026, and like the elder millennial that I am, I have been obsessed with the internet since I first dove into the world of message boards, IRC, fandom, Geocities, Altavista and Ask Jeeves when I was a fresh-faced 15-year-old in 1996. Did you know, I made my very first website (on Geocities, of course) back in 1996 or 97 – and it was an X-Files fan site? It was pretty popular too! Though of course, the internet was a much, much smaller place back then. Since then, I’ve launched various blogs, started various businesses, worked for other people’s online businesses, been an affiliate, run a podcast, various YouTube channels, sold jewellery under 2 different brands, sold ads on my own site, launched a membership, sold ebooks and ecourses… I’ve tried all sorts of things and made money online in myriad ways since making that very first website (which, of course, made me zero dollars, but my nerdy friends thought it was cool, so…). Suffice it to say,  I’ve been here for a long time. 30 years! I always dreamt of making a living from the internet, and it took me about 12 years to finally crack how to do it properly – which started when I stumbled on Etsy back in 2008 and opened that first shop. It has been an amazing journey, and I have loved so much about it. It has enabled me and Nick to live a life we love. To live in a place we adore. To have so much freedom of time, to travel regularly to visit friends and family overseas, and to live a low-stress life. But I’m ready to move on. I’m also ready to take a break from the internet. I have slowly faded away from most social media over the last few years. I have no interest in instagram any more. I pretty much only use Facebook to find events to attend IRL. Threads I have been enjoying, because it felt like a breath of fresh air to actually talk WITH people again, but even that is growing thin for me right now. Don’t even get me started on TikTok (ugh). I have been putting myself and my face and my life out there on the internet since my early 20s. But as I get older, and the changes in the online world loom, I feel the need to take a step back and just be again, without sharing things publicly with the world. It’s time for retreat, recalibration, and reflection. To decide what I want to do with this next phase of my life. And to do that, I’m stepping away for a time. Does that mean I’ll never come back online? Not at all! I might decide to start up my YouTube again. Or to launch something totally new. And it doesn’t mean I’m disappearing today. But I am aiming to be on sabbatical by the winter solstice here in Australia, which is June 21st, 2026. Why am I telling you so early? Because I’m going to offer a bunch of things for the last time, and it felt disingenuous to do so without being upfront about it. I’ve always tried my best to be honest and keep firm grip on my integrity in a space where that seems to be increasingly rare. I want you to know what’s happening, and why, so you can prepare and be aware – and if you so choose, to take advantage of my offers with full knowledge. If you are in my community, or are one of my students, Thriver Circle members, or Epheriell customers, here’s the timeline of exactly what’s happening. Timeline December 2025 Thriver Circle final launch – December 29th till January 7th. If you join at this time, I will unlock the full Your Year to Thrive course, so you will have just under 6 months to work through it at your own pace during this time (which does mean doing 2 lessons a week instead of 1 should you want to). You will have full access to all other courses and workshops, and I will still be running 2 live calls each month until the end of May, and I’ll be active in the FB group community. February 2026 Set Up Shop runs for the final time – February 9th till March 10th. April 2026 I will offer shop critiques until April 6th, then they will no longer be available. May 2026 I will offer the Wholesale Know-How course until May 4th, after which it will no longer be available. June 2026 The Thriver Circle will close forever on June 8th, 2026. Members will no longer have access to any aspect of the Circle, including the FB group, courses, workshops, podcasts. All memberships will be cancelled and all payments will be stopped by this date at the latest. I encourage members to cancel their membership when their May payment is deducted, as you will then stay an active member until the shut-down should you so wish. I will archiving all my social media – bar YouTube (I’m leaving all my free videos up) in June. Epheriell will be placed on sabbatical on June 8th, 2026. This will give us time to process any final orders by the time I take sabbatical. (I’m not ruling out opening Epheriell again in the future, but it will be a long while – probably at least 18 months – until I do so – unless Nick decides he wants to run it without my input, but he’s gotten himself a good permanent part-time government job so that will probably keep him busy enough!). On June 21st I will hopefully be done with all the work to wrap up the businesses, and will be stepping away from all social media for at least 6 months and taking a sabbatical from work and the online world.  I’m not going to lie, I am simultaneously elated and terrified to take this step. I’ve been feeling the urge to move on for a while now, but the circumstances were not in alignment until now, and I know that if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I will regret it immensely. I’m excited to take my first real break from paid work since I was 16, and I’m so thankful to Nick for joyfully supporting me in this choice. I want to take a moment to thank him, publicly, for all the work he has put in since this all began back in 2008. Not only in the business – of which he has been an employee for over a decade now (and let’s be honest, an unpaid helper before that) – but in our life together. He has been unfailing in his support – both emotional and practical – from day 1. He has been the main home manager – taking care of the fundamentals of life like cooking, cleaning, shopping, mowing, repairs… all of those ‘mundane’ things that most women have bear the mental load of, even when they are working as well. He’s freed me up to manage and run the businesses – and we have assisted each other in our respective spheres all this time. It’s going to be quite the dynamic shift as he goes ‘to work’ (even though he’ll still be mostly working from home, thankfully!) and I take on more of the domestic load for the first time in our relationship. I couldn’t have a more supportive partner in business and life, and I am so grateful every day that we chose to travel through life together. Thank you so much, Nick, for all that you are and all that you do. I love you, and I couldn’t have done this without you. So – I’m not going anywhere just yet, but I wanted you all to know what 2026 has in store. I will still be here, enthusiastically running my businesses and helping you for the first half of 2026, and I will treasure the chance to work in this space – and with you – for these last few months. It’s been an amazing career, and it wouldn’t exist without you. I want to say thank you to YOU. To the 6,000+ people who’ve bought a piece of Epheriell jewellery. Thank you for trusting us to make a treasured piece of jewellery. Particularly those of you for whom we’ve made wedding rings. Every one has been special and we’ve been honoured to make it for you. To every person who’s read my blog posts, my emails, listened to my podcast, or watched a YouTube video – I hope something I said has helped you! I have put so much free content out there over the years that honestly, you could have built your whole business using just that (and I know people who have, because they’ve told me!). But, most deeply, I want to say thank you to the thousands of past and present students who have paid me actual money to teach and help you grow your businesses: all I can hope for is that I haven’t let you down. I hope what I shared made a difference, I hope it was valuable, and I hope that you continue to chase your dreams, whatever they may be. I have always loved the handmade community – there are still so many genuine, creative, wonderful people making things with their hands and hearts. And in this ever-more-digital and fast-everything world we live in, I think handmade has more value than ever. May you all continue to add your unique beauty to the world. Now I’m going to sign off before I make myself cry. Keep Thriving, Jess The Thriver Circle is open now, for the last time. Join Now Then and Now Nick and I in 2008, at the housewarming for our first rental together. This is where I started Epheriell.

Marta ParaventiAssessora alla Cultura di AnconaAncona. Questo Adesso.Candidata a Capitale della Cultura 2028“Ancona. Questo Adesso” è il titolo del ricco dossier inviato al Ministero della Cultura per la candidatura di Ancona Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2028.  Un titolo ispirato dalle parole del poeta anconetano Francesco Scarabicchi  tratte dal libro   “Una città di scoglio. Breve viaggio ad Ancona” che invita ad un compito civile e poetico:   “Si conferma così la necessaria tensione a coniugare al presente tutto il passato del tempo di Ancona per proseguirne la vita e il senso, per avvicinare al nostro respiro ciò  che resta di un antico di pietre, vie, monumenti, patrimoni. Fra le “promesse” e gli “auspici”.  Il compito è quello di cogliere di ogni remoto la vicinanza,  la prossimità a questo “adesso” della storia individuale e collettiva, farne un sentimento comune e una comune idea di ricchezza reperta e giacimento che i secoli hanno lasciato alla nostra consapevole custodia e meraviglia…” “È questa tensione, fra il remoto e il presente, fra custodia e meraviglia, che Ancona accoglie come principio ispiratore di una candidatura che guarda al futuro.     È il tempo necessario di scegliere, di abitare, di coniugare   passato, presente e futuroQuesto Adesso, è un tempo che chiede di essere vissuto, abitato, condiviso. Questo è il principio di Ancona Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2028, un sentiero da percorrere, una sfida da vincere.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Braving the Chill: A Winter Swim Adventure in Dubrovnik Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-12-06-23-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Хладни ветар је кружио око древних зидина Дубровника, шушкајући прошлошћу на средоземном тротоару.En: The cold wind swirled around the ancient walls of Dubrovnik, whispering of the past on the Mediterranean pavement.Sr: Драган и Мира су се шетали крај обале, где су валови узбуркали хладни, зимски ваздух.En: Dragan and Mira strolled by the shore, where the waves stirred the cold, winter air.Sr: Мира је чвршће стеже шал око врата и погледа ка мору, док је Драган загризено загледао у плакат на зиду.En: Mira tightened her scarf around her neck and looked out towards the sea, while Dragan was intently focused on a poster on the wall.Sr: "Погледај ово, Мира! Такмичење у зимском пливању," рече Драган узбуђено показујући прстом.En: "Look at this, Mira! A winter swimming competition," Dragan said excitedly, pointing with his finger.Sr: "То не звучи баш разумно у ово доба године," насмеја се Мира.En: "That doesn't sound very sensible at this time of year," Mira laughed.Sr: "Хајде, биће авантура!" наговарао је Драган са осмехом.En: "Come on, it'll be an adventure!" encouraged Dragan with a smile.Sr: Без много размишљања, обоје су се уписали, не схватајући да се ради о професионалном такмичењу.En: Without much thought, they both signed up, not realizing it was a professional competition.Sr: Док су кишне капи палацкале по асфалту, радозналост је одвукла Миру у пријавни штанд.En: As raindrops pattered on the asphalt, curiosity led Mira to the registration booth.Sr: Драган је већ замишљао како ће оставити Миру импресионираном својом храброшћу.En: Dragan was already imagining how he would impress Mira with his bravery.Sr: На дан такмичења, ваздух је био оштар, а облаци тешки.En: On the day of the competition, the air was sharp and the clouds heavy.Sr: Поред обале, такмичари су се загрејавали, видно припремљени.En: Along the shore, competitors were warming up, visibly prepared.Sr: Драган и Мира су стајали у купаћим костимима, дрхтећи и сада свесни величине изазова.En: Dragan and Mira stood in their swimsuits, shivering and now aware of the challenge's magnitude.Sr: "Можемо одустати, знаш...," предложи Мира док је гледала професионалце.En: "We can quit, you know...," suggested Mira as she watched the professionals.Sr: "Ајде, хајде бар мало да пробамо," испусти Драган смејући се сопственој авантуристичкој природи.En: "Come on, let's at least try a little," Dragan laughed at his own adventurous spirit.Sr: Сигнал је означио почетак, а они су се, као и сви остали, бацили у залеђено, бистро море.En: The signal marked the beginning, and they, like everyone else, plunged into the icy, clear sea.Sr: Хладноћа их је пробудила као удар грома.En: The cold woke them like a bolt of lightning.Sr: Вода је била леденост која је стегла срца и дух.En: The water was a chill that gripped the heart and soul.Sr: Првобитна борба била је потпуно неочекивана, али онда су отпочели да се адаптирају на температуру, тресење у телу је престало, а осмеси су се вратили на њихова лица.En: The initial struggle was entirely unexpected, but then they began to adapt to the temperature, the shaking in their bodies stopped, and the smiles returned to their faces.Sr: Лепота зимског мора, са његовим кристално плавим бојама, била је непроцењива.En: The beauty of the winter sea, with its crystal blue hues, was priceless.Sr: Када су коначно изашли, дрхтећи али насмејани, срели су се смрзнутих образа и блиставих очију.En: When they finally emerged, shaking but smiling, they met with frozen cheeks and sparkling eyes.Sr: Загрљај топлине и смех једног на другој је победа која није заборављена.En: The embrace of warmth and laughter with each other was a victory not soon forgotten.Sr: "Сада имамо причу за памћење," рекао је Драган, омотан у пешкир док је стајао крај Мире.En: "Now we have a story to remember," said Dragan, wrapped in a towel as he stood by Mira.Sr: "Да, и следећи пут читаћемо ситна слова," одговорила је Мира, ипак тајно волећи овај тренутак спонтаности.En: "Yes, and next time we'll read the fine print," Mira replied, secretly cherishing this moment of spontaneity.Sr: Овај пад у ледено море им је донео не само хладноћу, већ и топлину заједничког искуства.En: This plunge into the icy sea brought them not just cold, but the warmth of shared experience.Sr: Поново су кренули улицама Дубровника, богатији за још једну авантуру и лекцију коју је донео летимичан поглед на плакат.En: They set off again through the streets of Dubrovnik, richer for another adventure and a lesson brought by a fleeting glance at a poster.

Few names in modern water polo shine as brightly as Andrija Prlainović. Born in Dubrovnik and raised in the intense rivalry of the Adriatic coast, he became one of the defining players of his generation. Over three decades in the pool, he collected nearly every possible title — Olympic gold, World and European Championships, club triumphs with Partizan Belgrade and Pro Recco, and countless lessons learned along the way. In this episode of the WET Podcast, Prlainović speaks with openness and reflection about his path — from a young boy watching local heroes to becoming one himself. What follows is not just the story of a champion, but of a man who believes that discipline, humility, and hard work are the true foundations of success.

Dubrovnik koji je postao kulisa, umiveno ustaštvo na ulicama Zagreba, potrošnja koja nadomješta ljudskost, majčinstvo o kakvom nije pristojno govoriti, banke kao sablasni stupovi naših života, emocije kakve ne viđamo u reklamama, a osjećamo ih tako snažno... To je svijet koji Maša Kolanović istražuje u svojoj novoj zbirci priča "Poštovani kukci". Autorica tekstom i crtežima oblikuje onaj sablasni i teško izrecivi višak materijalne strane ljudske egzistencije, dok smještanje priča u razdoblje tranzicije u Hrvatskoj dodatno pojačava njihov jezivi efekt. "Poštovane kukce" žanrovski bi se moglo opisati kao tranzicijsku gotiku, postsocijalističku zonu sumraka, jezivo stvarnosnu prozu… Mračno i apsurdne, a opet duboko intimne, snažne i društveno osjetljive priče.

Situada en la parte más meridional de Croacia, la popular ciudad está tratando de ponerle freno al turismo masivo con medidas novedosas.

I have a very special episode today with travel journalist Deirdre Mullins to cover the Dalmatian coast of Croatia from Zadar to Split to Dubrovnik.We chatted about the wonders of island hopping to Korcula, Vis, Hvar and Brac with the Jadrolinija ferry company.We discuss how each island and town has its own personality that makes this a perfect country to tour by land or boat.Deirdre also tells us how Croatia has become a hugely popular destination for festivals including the Love International Festival in Tisno.We cover a lot of ground, so this is the perfect introduction to Croatia if you are trying to decide where to visit next in this wonderful country full of history, culture and the most gorgeous water to swim or just chill by.

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air. We've been on hiatus for the last month during the summer, but we're back in action! In this installment, we detail some of the places we've been and what we've seen. Cars and watches have been high on the list!Yes, it's been a while, but we're back together. This week's podcast is primarily about cars and watches at events in major cities. Next episode, we'll be back with a more hardcore topic, which will likely cover one of our listener suggestions. For now, settle in as we recall our travels and experiences.HandgelenkskontrolleBefore we get into watches, we begin our discussion about Ferrari's latest reveal. The 849 Testarossa is already proving to be controversial. It sparks a conversation about the difference between comments in social media about cars and watches. Regarding television, we discuss Mobland, Only Murders In The Building, Dexter: Resurrection, and The Sopranos. Then, Balazs mentions the recent sale of a Michael Jordan / Kobe Bryant basketball card that set a record at $12.9 million! For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing the new Albishorn 1958 Marinagraph Paraíba Racing. Stay tuned for an upcoming hands-on review. Mike is wearing his Seiko SLA019, a 2018 release that marked the first ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal for the beloved Marinemaster 300.Watches and carsWe kick off our main topic on recent travels that included cars and watches with a recap of Geneva Watch Days. Sadly, Balazs didn't attend, but the releases were well-covered. Overall, the mood was somber because of the US tariff scenario. Brands were questioning the need and the expense related to two shows. The reveals were positive, especially from the smaller brands, but it was a quieter show overall despite more brands in attendance. Next, we discuss the 2025 Balkan Rally, which Balazs attended. The event kicked off in Budapest and ended five days later in Dubrovnik. Classic cars and watches were all part of the festivities. Finally, we head back to London, where Mike attended the Concours of Elegance hosted by A. Lange & Söhne. Once again, several of the attendees wore intriguing watches, but the cars were incredible. Of note was a lovely Singer Porsche. It was the first time Mike saw one in person, which followed his first visit to the Singer Reimagined headquarters in Geneva just two days earlier.We hope you enjoyed our return to the airwaves, and we look forward to coming back regularly. As always, if you have ideas for future shows, feel free to let us know.

Located on the Adriatic Sea in the southernmost part of Croatia is the city of Dubrovnik.  Founded in the 7th century, it rose in prominence and became one of the leading city-states in Europe.  It was a major competitor with Venice in the region and had complicated relations with both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.  It was the site of one of the most brutal sieges in post-WWII Europe, and today it has become one of the top tourist destinations in the world.

     Trump's “51st state” trolling obliterates Canadian conservatives, handing victory to globalist banker Mark Carney, while Spain, Portugal, and parts of France and Belgium plunge into darkness, exposing the disastrous “Net Zero” deindustrialization of the West!     As Peter Hitchens reveals Ukraine's war as a NATO-provoked, CIA-orchestrated sham, Trump's 750 unauthorized Yemen airstrikes lose jets and billions, mirroring the chaos of his tariff tsunami crushing small businesses.     With 130 executive orders bypassing Congress and MAGA abandoning principles, is this a calculated plot to destabilize Canada, cripple Europe's grids, and betray America's core values?2:30 Trump's “51st State” Trolling Sabotages Canadian ConservativesPoilievre supports abortion & climate change but Trump sabotaged ALL conservatives in Canada with his trolling, getting the globalist bankers' globalist banker, Mark Carney, elected.   What's next — getting Klaus Schwab elected to run Germany? 7:36 Is Anyone Still in the Dark About “Net Zero” After Yesterday's Blackout?     It wasn't a hack or EMP and it wasn't predicted by “The Simpsons”. It was a result of the DELIBERATE DEINDUSTRIALIZATION of the West.     Spain, Portugal, and parts of France and Belgium lost power yesterday exposes YET ANOTHER FLAW in “renewable energy” sources — a loss of “inertia” in the grid. 35:50 First 100 Days: Trump says “I Run the Country and the World”     With 130 executive orders in under 100 days, he's bypassing Congress and the judiciary, claiming sweeping powers over trade, immigration, and speech.  He says he “runs the country” and he's talking about a third term.  What would George Washington say?     Is this the end of constitutional governance and the rise of an imperial presidency?     What will Democrats do with this kind of power? 56:57 Trump Demands Investigations Into Media for Unfavorable PollIncluding FOX News.  His press secretary doesn't shy away from suggestions that Supreme Court members could be arrested 1:03:31 LIVE audience comments and questions 1:14:25 Tariff Tsunami Hits West Coast Soon: A Slow-Motion Wrecking Ball Devastating Small Businesses, Truckers FirstCritics warn Trump's reckless trade war, coupled with a deliberately weakened U.S. dollar, is a calculated move to favor Wall Street giants while obliterating “non-essential” mom-and-pop truckers and retailers. Is this economic sabotage or just another chapter in Trump's playbook to lock down America's economy? 1:38:29 “Don't Take Trump Seriously, But Literally”: A Global Laughingstock Unleashing Economic ChaosScaramucci's axiom about Trump had it exactly backward.  Trump's erratic tariff tirades have turned America into an international punchline,  It shows he has no plan and makes him weak in the eyes of friends and foes.  There are no discernible goals for negotiation and the Trump team is arrogant and high handed in its dealings say the Japanese and others. 1:49:58 100 Days of Betrayal: Yet MAGA Eats Its Own Principles for the Hope of PowerFree Thought Project reveals how Trump's administration has obliterated MAGA's core values just three months in!

As Yugoslavia began to break down, the Balkans conflict began - a series of brutal wars characterised by disputes over territory, identity, and ethnic divisions. In 1991, the Croatian War of Independence started – the first of the major wars. One of its defining moments came in October, when the Yugoslav People's Army advanced on the south of the country leading to the Siege of Dubrovnik. One of the Yugoslav People's Army commanders in the region was Rear Admiral Krsto Đurović, a Montenegrin who had spent his life working in Croatia, married a Croatian and planned to retire to the country. Attacking Dubrovnik was unthinkable for the Rear Admiral, and he promised the city's major: “As long as I am the commander, not a single shell will fall on Dubrovnik."Shortly afterwards he was killed in a suspicious helicopter crash – his superiors claimed he was shot down, but there were no opposition forces in the area, and Croatian officials denied any part in the crash. There was never an autopsy and no military investigation. Soon after, Miodrag Jokic was appointed Đurović's replacement, and a vicious bombing campaign began which would later see Jokic convicted of war crimes. Johnny I'Anson speaks to Montenegrin journalist Veseljko Koprivica, and documentary maker Mladen Ivanovic who say Rear Admiral Đurović's refusal to bomb Dubrovnik may have led to his untimely death. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Rear Admiral Đurović.
