What happens when you interview an AI? Bob Safian found out, and while it didn't break out into Cantonese, it was stranger than he expected. This episode is split in two: first, a conversation with Eline van der Velden, the Dutch actress-turned-tech-founder who created Tilly Norwood, the AI "actor" who sent Hollywood into a spiral. Then, Bob sits down with Tilly itself. Eline explains how a personal art project became one of the most controversial figures in entertainment — attracting talent agency interest, death threats, and a global debate about whether AI will kill acting or democratize it. She makes the case that great storytelling still requires human craft, and that the most dangerous thing anyone can do right now is stick their head in the sand.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are only two things you need to get what you want: know what you want, and have the audacity to ask. Kira Matthews explains why the second one is so hard, and how to do it anyway.   (Click here for Katie Farrell's Free Guide)   This one comes straight from the stage at Fashion Marketing Live, and I've been dying to share it with you. Kira Matthews has been on the podcast before, back on The Fashion Feed. She's a coach, the host of No Room for Doubt, and the founder of Pitch School, where she teaches founders and creators how to knock on the door of the brands on their bucket list and ask. She's pitched Ganni herself.   Kira will be the first to tell you she doesn't have a fashion brand. But every one of you has a list: the stockist you'd love to be in, the collab, the press you'd kill for, the person whose reply would change your whole year. And most of us (I'm not gonna lie, me included) are working harder and harder, hoping somebody notices, instead of asking.   That's what this talk is about.   What Kira covers:   The only two things you need to get what you want The two types of people in the world Why overworking the ask never works Fred and the air fryer. The Ganni email chain. The science bit. The motivational triad (avoid pain, seek pleasure, conserve energy) Why quitting feels so good, and what the first escalator at Harrods has to do with it Netflix, Blockbuster and the no that wasn't about the idea From the audience Q&A: the fact vs story exercise for when you're riddled with self-doubt.

In 1993, Scott Martin was driving to a Nike camp with new Ray-Bans and the music turned up — still playing, coaching a nationally ranked college program, with everything in front of him. A month later, he woke up from a coma without his hands.Scott, author of the memoir Play From Your Heart, shares the story behind his youth soccer coaching philosophy and the illness that nearly ended everything. Group A strep and necrotizing fasciitis cost him both hands and parts of both feet. What followed was decades of grief, a lost malpractice trial, an unpaid coaching job on food stamps, five adopted children, and twenty years away from the sideline.Then a club in Bellingham, Washington handed him its U13 C team. The approach he brought back — put players in a position to learn, ask more questions than you answer, and play the flow instead of the ball — turned a group of overlooked kids he calls his soccer rats into undefeated state league champions.Ian and Scott also get into free play and why every young player needs a worn ball of their own, why there's a dancer in every soccer player, bringing eggs and Motown to training, humor as a coaching tool, and what Scott believes is broken in American youth soccer.For soccer parents, youth coaches, and club leaders who believe development beats winning — and that the game is best played from the heart.Key Talking PointsGrowing up on Wide World of Sports and the NASL in the '70s — Pelé, Beckenbauer, Cruyff — and a backyard where any sport was fair gameA mother who raised six kids on three jobs, and where Scott says his work ethic really came fromJan, a Dutch director of coaching who went on to lead the Netherlands Olympic team, and a conversation over a pint about angles and percentages1993: the Nike camp, the fever that got sent home with Gatorade, and waking from a coma to group A strep and necrotizing fasciitisGrief, denial, and depression — why it took decades to let go of the player and the coach he used to beLearning discrimination from a new angle: an athletic director's hallway comment and the handshakes that pulled backStarting over at the bottom: an unpaid assistant role, food stamps, five adopted children, and twenty years studying Cruyff and Guardiola from a distanceThe U13 C team in Bellingham: a 7–0 loss to the A team, confidence before arrogance, and the two lost finals that made them hungry"My mission is not to teach you, but to put you in a position to learn" — questions over instructions, eggs at training, and music as a metronomeFree play and soccer rats: why kids need a worn ball and no coach, why over-structure is choking exploration, and why flag football should worry soccerConnect with Scott Martin

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The campaign: 4/10 Is it just me or has the mental stuff with ice cream and dumb questions started so early that we will be suicidal by November? PREFU: 7/10 Confirmed widely held suspicions that our economy is on the way back in a material way. Labour: 4/10 Bad first week. Got busted on equity and the CGT promise appears problematic now that housing isn't growing. The EU FTA climate mess: 1/10 It's one thing for a bunch of Dutch losers to whine, but to be backed by Kiwis, even if they are radicals, is treasonous. The Opportunity Party: 2/10 Shot themselves in the foot with bottom lines. They may as well have named their favourite colours.

The 2026 World Championships are done, and what a weekend in Montréal. Ned, David and Lizzie start with the men's race: 273km, 3,800m of climbing and 12 laps of the brutal Mont-Royal circuit. After France drove the pace and the favourites began to disappear, Brandon McNulty made his move with 33km to go. What followed was an extraordinary finale as the chasing group slowly dragged him back, only for McNulty to somehow find another gear and hold on for a stunning solo victory, with Michael Matthews and Mathieu van der Poel taking silver and bronze. David was also in Montréal, so we get his perspective on how the race unfolded, the huge attacks and how on earth McNulty managed to pull it off. Then it's the women's race and Demi Vollering's first World Championship title. On a 180km course featuring eight laps of Mont-Royal, the Dutch team controlled the race before Puck Pieterse launched Vollering up the final climbs. She eventually found herself clear with Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini, before a dramatic final lap and uphill sprint saw Vollering finally take the rainbow jersey. Lizzie was there in Montréal as a DS for the women's race, giving us her perspective on the chaos unfolding inside the team cars and what it was like to watch the race play out from the other side of the radio. Two incredible races, two very different victories, and one very memorable World Championships. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Europe is turning up the pressure on Israel, but are Ireland and the Netherlands applying standards they wouldn't use anywhere else? Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum expose the contradictions and growing tensions behind Europe's increasingly hostile approach to the Jewish state. From Ireland's protests against Israel in international sports to Dutch restrictions on Israeli products, the two examine how relations have deteriorated, and why Israel may no longer be willing to simply absorb the criticism. They also dig into Europe's complicated history with the Jewish people and ask what's really driving this dramatic shift against Israel.

FBI Warns Staff Assume ShinyHunters Stole Everyone's Data; Clop Dismisses Rival Hack; Kiteworks Restores Service Cybersecurity Today host David Shipley reports the FBI has told employees to assume ShinyHunters accessed the personal information of every FBI employee after the fbijobs.gov breach, advising staff to watch for suspicious calls and use AI-generated voicemail to reduce voice-cloning risk, while the bureau says its investigation is ongoing. ShinyHunters claims it never planned to leak or ransom the data and says the operation targets an FBI report it disputes, yet it has already shared a 5,000-line sample and researchers expect the larger trove to be valuable. Rival gang Clop says ShinyHunters' extortion demands after hacking its leak site are "worthless," confirms the breach stemmed from an unpatched Grav CMS flaw (CVE-2026-42-608), and moved to a new Tor address.  The episode also covers Dutch police arresting an alleged ShinyHunters leader as sources suggest a new leader, and Kiteworks bringing services back online after patching a critical bug and finding no compromise. 00:00 FBI Breach Fallout 01:21 Protecting Agents From Scams 02:31 ShinyHunters Walkback 03:36 Data Sample Spreads 05:20 Clop Versus ShinyHunters 06:55 Grav CMS Vulnerability 07:53 Dutch Arrest And New Boss 10:48 FBI Cyber Division Warning 11:56 Kiteworks Back Online 13:33 Wrap Up And Sign Off

What did Jesus really teach—and how much of his original message may have changed as Christianity evolved into an organized religion?On Episode #267 of World Awakenings, Karl Gruber welcomes Rogier Vlissingen, author of Recovering Jesus: Help Is Here Now and a longtime student and teacher of non-dual spirituality, biblical studies and A Course in Miracles.In this unusually deep conversation, Rogier explores his interpretation of the distinction between the teachings of Jesus and the Christianity that developed after him. We discuss the Apostle Paul, the Gospel of Thomas, the Council of Nicaea, dualism and non-dualism, the development of Christian doctrine, and how A Course in Miracles fits into Rogier's understanding of Jesus as a teacher of spiritual awakening.Rogier also shares his own spiritual journey, his work translating Gary Renard's The Disappearance of the Universe into Dutch, and the ideas behind his books Closing the Circle and Recovering Jesus.Whether you're a student of A Course in Miracles, interested in the historical Jesus and early Christianity, or simply curious about the difference between Jesus' teachings and the religion built around him, this episode offers plenty to contemplate.Check out Rogier's new book, "Recovering Jesus: Help Is Here Now" And his first book, "Closing the Circle: Pursah's Gospel of Thomas and A Course in Miracles"#ACourseInMiracles #Jesus #ACIM #Nonduality #SpiritualAwakening

The government has come out swinging at those claiming New Zealand has broken its climate change promises in the free trade agreement with the EU. A Dutch environmental group has lodged the first complaint of its kind through the European Commission's complaints mechanism, and says it could be precedent setting. The most extreme consequences could be losing access to the lucrative European market, but the group is seeking compliance rather than the suspension of trade benefits. Politcal reporter Lilian Hanly has more.

Nearly a third of Americans say they're trying to avoid gluten. About 1% have celiac disease. That gap is worth billions of dollars. In this episode, Zoë and Kylee dig into who the gluten-free diet was actually designed for, how it became a wellness identity, and what the research says about the rest of us.We start with the science: what gluten is, why no human fully digests it (and why that's fine), and what celiac disease does to the gut. It's a serious autoimmune condition, and about 70% of cases go undiagnosed. Then we trace the gluten-free diet from its unlikely origin in the Dutch famine of World War II to the bestseller shelf, where Wheat Belly and Grain Brain blamed wheat for everything from belly fat to Alzheimer's. Along the way we ask whether modern wheat is really different, whether non-celiac gluten sensitivity is real, and why the culprit is often FODMAPs, not gluten. We also look at the blinded studies showing how powerfully expectation shapes symptoms.Plus: why gluten-free labels make food seem healthier than it is, what that does to people who actually need the label, whether gluten-digesting enzyme pills work, what happened when cyclists were blinded to their diets, and the question everyone asks. Why can you eat all the bread you want in Italy and feel fine?

An expert says a challenge to New Zealand's environmental policy is high stakes. Dutch environmental group Both ENDS has filed a complaint with the European Commission, accusing New Zealand of breaching our environmental obligations in the EU Free Trade Agreement. It's over things like watering down methane reduction targets, and reversing the ban on oil and gas exploration. Canterbury University politics professor, Bronwyn Hayward, says it's likely to get a lot of attention on the world stage. "Whether we win or lose, our reputation is taking a real hit."

Tonight on The Huddle, Wellington Mornings host Nick Mills and Jack Tame from ZB's Saturday Mornings and Q&A joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! There's growing speculation about Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick potentially becoming Finance Minister, despite Labour ruling this out if they win. Did the Greens overplay their hand by asking for this? Speaking of which, a Dutch environmental group recently claimed New Zealand is breaching climate obligations in our EU Free Trade agreement with actions like reversing the ban on oil and gas exploration. Is this a valid point of concern? Do we think the Government is walking away from making changes to NZ Super? Does the Chateau Tongariro need to go?

Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser joins Suzi to discuss his new book, Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, which recovers a century of Jewish opposition to Zionism, told through twelve lives, from an assassinated Dutch dissident to Hannah Arendt to the photographer Nan Goldin. Moser opens with his own grandfather's copy of Theodor Herzl's The Jewish State — the one object the family carried out of Nazi Germany — and traces his break with an unexamined liberal Zionism to a 2016 trip to Hebron: “It's not that Israel is doing things that are wrong,” he said. “It's that Israel itself is wrong.” Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

If your periods are heavier than they used to be, your PMS is worse than it should be, you're gaining weight around the middle for no reason you can name — this episode is for you.And gentlemen — if you're softer than you used to be, growing tissue where you didn't used to, exhausted more than you should be, and quietly wondering if something's off — this episode is also for you.Estrogen dominance isn't a female problem. It's a modern problem.What we cover:• What estrogen dominance actually means (it's not just "too much estrogen")• Why your body's estrogen metabolism pathways matter more than the raw number• The symptoms in women — and why "normal bloodwork" misses them• The symptoms in men• Environmental estrogens hiding in your daily life• Why your liver is the key organ nobody talks about• Foods that support estrogen clearance• When testing is the right next step

What happens when the strategies that once kept you lean and energized—eating less, exercising harder, and pushing through fatigue—stop working?In this episode of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer, about the accumulated strain she calls “health debt.”Bria explains how chronic stress, inadequate recovery, under-fueling, poor sleep, illness, and demanding exercise can leave the body without enough energy to meet its daily demands. Although health debt can affect both men and women, the additional demands of perimenopause may make underlying problems much harder to ignore.Dr. Haley and Bria discuss why stubborn weight is not always a discipline problem, how excessive exercise can become another expense the body cannot afford, why protein and recovery matter, and what waking between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. may reveal.They also explore symptom tracking, blood-sugar regulation, caffeine, hormones, gut health, and functional tests such as DUTCH hormone testing, GI-MAP stool testing, thyroid panels, minerals, and comprehensive blood chemistry.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:• What Bria means by “health debt”• How energy supply and energy demand affect the body• Why perimenopause may expose problems that were already developing• Why eating less and exercising more can stop producing results• How under-fueling and inadequate recovery may affect metabolism• Why intense cardio is not always the best weight-loss strategy• The importance of protein, balanced meals, and eating earlier in the day• Why coffee may provide stimulation without correcting low energy• How caffeine or blood-sugar dysregulation may contribute to nighttime waking• Why resistance training must be supported by nutrition and recovery• How tracking food, energy, mood, digestion, and cravings can reveal patterns• Where functional laboratory testing may fit• The difference between functional support and licensed medical careEPISODE TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Why the body protects its energy00:55 — Why eating less and exercising harder may stop working02:29 — Introducing Bria Gadd, The Period Whisperer04:24 — Can men accumulate health debt too?07:33 — Energy supply, energy demand, and health debt10:04 — How Bria accumulated her own health debt13:19 — When exercise becomes another burden15:15 — Strength training, mobility, and recovery17:51 — Why more cardio may not produce weight loss20:05 — Midlife nutrition mistakes and inadequate protein22:47 — How long should you fast?25:27 — Why coffee is not breakfast27:07 — Eating 1,400 calories while gaining weight29:23 — Sleep, recovery, and waking during the night33:00 — Caffeine, blood sugar, and 2:00 a.m. waking34:53 — Measuring symptoms and tracking progress38:31 — Hormones, peptides, and foundational health40:22 — DUTCH hormone testing and GI-MAP testing42:12 — Individualized gut-health protocols44:01 — Bria's professional scope and working with doctors48:25 — How to work with Bria48:48 — The opportunity hidden within perimenopauseABOUT BRIA GADD:Bria Gadd, known as The Period Whisperer, is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, certified holistic health coach, certified personal trainer, and educator specializing in perimenopause and menopause.After experiencing weight gain, fatigue, disrupted sleep, anxiety, and changing periods while following the nutrition and exercise strategies that had previously worked for her, Bria began investigating the relationships among energy availability, recovery, hormones, metabolism, stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and gut health.She now helps women understand the patterns behind their symptoms and develop individualized strategies intended to support energy, strength, metabolic health, and quality of life.

One of the things that I have observed about mokuhanga printmakers is that they are always striving to get better in their practice. Mokuhanga is a printmaking medium that challenges the maker in many different ways, and navigating those challenges through hard work and experimentation can ultimately be a very rewarding experience. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, a mokuhanga podcast, I speak with Aafke Ytsma, a printmaker currently splitting her time between Germany and the Netherlands. Aafke is a full-time artist who pushes the possibilities of what one can do with mokuhanga. We discuss how and why Aafke makes such large prints, and how watercolour influences her work. Aafke tells me about her love for the prints of the sōsaku-hanga movement and how they inspire her own practice. We also talk about the risks and rewards of being a full-time artist, crowdfunding and grants. Aafke goes into detail about how she makes her prints through mark-making, and how that process shapes her work.

She founded the private museum Nihon no Hanga in Amsterdam in 2009, and in 2022 donated more than 1,100 prints to the Rijksmuseum. Maureen de Vries -  was the curator of the Nihon no Hanga museum in Amsterdam.

Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable. Below is a fine example of bokashi by the printer of this Hiroshige print -     Hiroshige (1797-1858), Shono ,(1832-1833)  from The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido 22.9 cm × 35.6 cm    SieboldHuis — The SieboldHuis is a museum in Leiden, Netherlands, dedicated to Japanese art, culture, and history. Housed in the former residence of Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold, the German physician and Japan scholar who lived in Japan in the 19th century, the museum displays objects from his extensive collection, including prints, paintings, ceramics, lacquerware, maps, and natural-history specimens. It provides an important connection between Japan and the Netherlands and regularly presents exhibitions exploring Japanese art and culture. More info, here.    Kawanishi Hide (1894–1965) — Kawanishi Hide was a self-taught sōsaku-hanga artist who lived and worked throughout his life in Kobe. Inspired by Yamamoto Kanae, he began making woodblock prints in the early 20th century and became an important figure in the creative print movement, exhibiting with the Japan Creative Print Association from 1923. His work is particularly associated with the port city of Kobe, which provided many of his subjects, and is distinguished by bold, vivid colours, simplified forms, and his deliberate avoidance of black outlines. He often used a rounded chisel to soften the edges of his forms, giving his prints a distinctive, almost graphic quality.     Sunset (?) 12.5 cm x 15 cm    Gotō Hidehiko - is a master baren maker and printmaker based in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

If you could only run one lab test to figure out what's going on in your body, which one should it be? I used to make the same mistake many functional health practices still make: cherry-picking lab tests based on whichever symptoms are loudest. If you have irregular cycles, it seems logical to test hormones first, but that's like cleaning trash out at the bottom of the river without ever looking upstream at where it's coming from. In this episode, I'll explain why the gut sits upstream of nearly everything, and why hormones, thyroid, adrenals, mood, immune health, and even hair thinning can all trace back to it. That's why, if you can only start with one test, I believe a GI map gives you the best bang for your buck, whether or not you have loud digestive symptoms. I'll share what my own first GI map uncovered, from SIBO to H. pylori to low digestive enzymes, and why gut health is about so much more than bloating and bathroom habits. We'll also talk about what comes next once your gut is on the right track, including how we decide between options like a DUTCH test, an HTMA, an MRT, or deeper blood work. At the end I'll walk through why that next step looks different for every person, based on budget, symptoms, and how your body responds to gut improvements. If you want a personalized roadmap for your labs, this episode will point you in the right direction and show you where to start.

1943Surviving World War Two BerlinIan Buruma, author of Stay Alive: Berlin 1939–1945, Part One: Buruma focuses on the opening years of World War IIin Berlin and the daily moral dilemmas faced by ordinary people. He draws from his Dutch father Leo's letters as a forced factory worker alongside accounts from diarists, aristocrats, and dissidents. The discussion examines Goebbels' propaganda machine, lighthearted cinema entertainment designed as public distraction, the implementation of the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws, and the hidden lives of young Jews surviving underground as "U-boats."
