RHLSTP #619 - Daily Branch Whack Punishment - It's another remote RHLSTP, with another Edinburgh bound member of the SNL UK writing team, Chris Cantrill. They chat about working with the delightful Amy Gledhill, the relentless process of writing Saturday Night Live and how it might not live up to the coke-fuelled ego-fest of the original American series, Chris' new stand up show Rewilding, which centres around the appalling act of vandalism at the Sycamore Gap, why he likes performing at lunchtime and why the Fringe has never been the booze-fuelled holiday that it was for Rich in the 1990s. Plus getting to play small parts in hit sitcoms and an overhaul of our judicial system.Tickets for Chris' Edinburgh show here https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/chris-cantrill-rewildingTickets for RHLSTP at the Ed Fringe here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben Walker Hosted on Acast.

Asia's AI-fueled market rally has created huge winners — but also growing risks. In this episode, Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Invesco fund manager Fiona Yang about why Korea's AI boom has become increasingly volatile, where she's still finding value in China and India and why the next generation of winners may be the companies using AI rather than building it.Join us in Edinburgh for Fringe Festival! https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-butcher-the-brewer-the-baker-and-merryn-somerset-webbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heritage in the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) and Beyond (U Edinburgh Press, 2025) outlines the need to embed Ocean Heritage into ocean science, sustainable development, and marine conservation to meet the goals of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) and beyond. Ocean Heritage—spanning tangible sites, such as shipwrecks or submerged harbours, and intangible connections such as traditional practices and knowledge systems—remains underrepresented in ocean governance. Yet it offers critical insights for more effective policy and research. Its inclusion is essential to ensuring science is informed by human–ocean relationships and responsive to the needs of communities. Led by the Cultural Heritage Framework Programme (CHFP), the Ocean Decade's only programme focused on Ocean Heritage, this text demonstrates how heritage supports all 10 Ocean Decade Challenges. Ocean Heritage strengthens climate adaptation, improves spatial planning, and supports equitable governance by grounding decisions in historical context and lived experience. The paper draws on more than 20 CHFP-endorsed initiatives, offering clear case studies and actionable recommendations for policy alignment, institutional support, and multidisciplinary collaboration. As the Ocean Decade reaches its midpoint, this book offers a path forward: one where science draws on the full range of human—ocean relationships to guide sustainable, equitable action. Ocean Heritage is not a symbolic gesture—it is a fundamental human right. Rather than treating culture as an add-on to marine conservation, this paper calls for its broad integration into ocean science and decision-making. Athena Trakadas is a maritime archeologist who studies underwater and coastal marine cultural heritage and advises international and national heritage, marine science and governmental organizations. Helen Dewar is an historian of the Atlantic World and French colonization in North America in the 17th and 18th centuries. She is a professor of history at the Université de Montréal (Québec, Canada) and the author of Disputing New France: Companies, Sovereignty and Law in the French Atlantic, 1598-1663 (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022). helen.dewar[at]umontreal.ca Helen's institutional website Learn more about your ad choices.

W/C 13th July 2026If I think about it rationally Dublin is no more of a city of contrast than any other. Most places you visit are marked by the different stages of their development, or the businesses that thrived there, and Dublin is no different. Depending on where you find yourself there are similarities with Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford and of course Liverpool.I guess the reason why it seems more obvious in Dublin is the way that in collides, most notably in the buildings along ether side of the quays, toward the port area, because the style of this development was never intended to blend in. It is dominant and obvious, and that is not to say that I don't think it has a quality, just that it was always going to sit uncomfortably with what went before.A lot of money has been spent, but I don't know how much of it has trickled down or out to enhance the lives of those who were born and raised there.Stay safe.Different Worlds - MagnumBoundary StoneVillage LifeTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

The air is smoky, the lettuce is parasitic, but at least the Bravo news is plentiful. Dylan is back for another Friday episode, and he kicks things off with casting news about Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, plus some updates on The Golden Life, which is apparently still filming. Then, he braces himself for a very chaotic episode of RHOA, which sees Porsha and Shamea's feud escalating in Edinburgh, and Pinky finally becoming a more well-rounded part of the group. Then it's over to RHOC, where Tamra is still trying to figure out who likes her, and Emily Simpson is 50 and hotter than ever. From there, Dylan has some thoughts on the season finale of In The City (Whitney, you're in danger girl!) and Next Gen NYC (Riley, you're also in danger girl!).

Kathryn Nave is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and the author of the book A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate dives deep into the free energy principle and active inference, which are popular approaches to studying brains, minds, and organisms in general, and which are being used in artificial intelligence. Ultimately, Kate finds these approaches come up short as explanatory frameworks for life, and autonomy, and intelligence. Instead, Kate and many others advocate a framework that Kate calls constraint closure or closure of constraints, but also goes by the name organizational closure. This is a concept from philosophy and theoretical biology that people like Alvaro Moreno and Matteo Mossio have put forth in their 2015 book Biological Autonomy. The core ideas are also found in various forms from people like Robert Rosen, Stuart Kauffman, Alicia Juarrero, Terrence Deacon, and others. We discuss what constraint closure is, why Kate thinks it's a solid foundation to build on, and what if anything it means for cognitive science and brain sciences to embrace this constraint closure view. I highly recommend the book even if you're looking for a primer on the free energy principle and active inference. As we discuss, Kate's journalism experience has helped her become a wonderful communicator of these notoriously difficult concepts. Kathryn Nave @kathrynnave; @kathrynnave.eurosky.social.

Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks. When I (re)launched this show back in March 2026, the idea was to have conversations that made us all feel connected, celebrated, cheered up, and cheered on. (So, I hope you'd agree you feel that way when listening!) Importantly though, I didn't want those feelings to end after each episode. My vision for Cheers with Nat has always been to keep cheering people on… so that's what we're going to do in this episode! To wrap up Season 1, we'll hear from each guest – some in their own words – about what they've been up to since we recorded, as there's always something to celebrate. Please note that there won't be any new episodes of Cheers with Nat for the rest of summer, but I'll be busy recording for Season 2, which will launch in September 2026. I'll also be enjoying a bit of time off, and I welcome you to keep up with my adventures! (I'll be interrailing through Germany with my partner, Nigel, and will be sharing lots of updates on my Instagram, @cheers_with_nat) In the meantime, please do continue to spread the word about the show… and be sure to tag me in your posts, as I'd love to know who is listening! I also welcome any guest suggestions for future episodes. Of if you're part of a business or brand that might be interested in sponsoring a season or a dedicated mini-series, please get in touch via cheers@beerwithnat.com. Thanks, as always, for listening, have a lovely summer, and chat soon. Cheers!   Links & things: Ep 1 – Georgia Kelly is now back in beer, working for Two Tribes Brewery in London. Ep 2 – Karina Aggarwal is now representing Swiss wines and El Cristiano tequila across India and working a lot more in food. She'll soon be in Macau for Asia's 50 Best Bars and has a long-awaited dive trip coming up in the Maldives! Ep 3 – Natalie Chiu and her team at Sachio Sparkling Tea have had a busy summer, from partnering with Cowdray Polo and World's 50 Best Hotels, to adding fun new cooler bags to the Saicho accessories range. They're also celebrating the full Saicho range now being available in Majestic Wines. And something delicious that Natalie tried recently is Jörg Geiger C.- Bratbirne Heritage Pear, an alcohol-free sparkling pear wine. Ep 4 – Dr. Christina Wade's latest book, Filthy Queens: A History of Beer in Ireland, was shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink Awards. Keep up with her latest writing and future book projects on her blog. Ep 5 – Nicola Hart and her team at Agua de Madre have added two limited-edition flavours of their Agua Fresca for summer. Plus, their Remedio infusion is now available in Anthropologie stores across the UK, and their Instagram has lots of fun ideas for how to enjoy it in the summer. Ep 6 – Luma Monteiro's been here there and everywhere lately – from the Chianti Classico DOCG area, to Portugal, to Armenia (including to the 'birthplace' of wine, the Areni-1 cave!). She also recommends we all need to try Croatian Malvazija Istarska. Ep 7 – Amélie Tassin shared that the Women in Beer mentorship programme is now entering its 5th cohort and that the Awards & Festival have been confirmed for the week of October 20th in Manchester. (See you there!) She also shouted out a new-to-me brewery, Sunken Knave, and their Boffle barley wine. Ep 8 – Elizabeth Townsend of Kerroo Brewing has launched a new podcast – First Draught! She's also studying towards her Beer Sommelier exam and loved trying Barney's Pickle Gose on a recent visit to Edinburgh. Ep 9 – Becky Paskin was named Diversity & Inclusion Champion at the 2026 Women in Food & Drink Awards for her work with the OurWhisky Foundation, which also recently welcomed 25 more mentees as the Atonia Programme Class of 2026. She's also continued to share her journey of rediscovering her whiskey collection on her Instagram and gotten her first few pieces published about wine, too! Ep 10 – Erika Haigh's been in Japan, no doubt gathering lots of updates to share in her next Mai Traveller newsletter. And she recently shared on Instagram that she'll be running the London Marathon next year! Super impressive!   Subscribe | Follow on Instagram | Email

Medical Education and the Making of Iraqi Doctors, 1869–1959 (Edinburgh University Press, 2025) by Dr. Sara Farhan offers a rigorous social and cultural history of the formation of medical professionals in modern Iraq and their role in shaping public health institutions. Tracing developments from late Ottoman medical reforms to the establishment of the Medical College of Mosul, the book examines the institutionalization of medical education as a critical element of the social transformation of Iraq. It reveals how shifting imperial, colonial and national frameworks sought to cultivate a cadre of physicians who would serve state and society. These experts, however, often found themselves navigating competing ideological imperatives. This extensively researched study highlights a wealth of rarely consulted sources gathered from 14 archives, family collections, medical journals, student newspapers, film and oral interviews. Drawing on these materials, it interrogates the contradictions inherent in state-driven efforts, wherein doctors functioned as agents of reform and subjects of bureaucratic oversight. Through this, Dr. Farhan reveals the nexus between medical pedagogy, professional authority, public health policy and the broader political transformations that continually redefined medicine in Iraq. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Science Quest!

Tony's impressed by David in his traditional bowler hat as an official of The Borchester Show. George reports a problem with a water leak at one of the handwashing stations near the livestock. As Tony finds a spanner and George tightens the pipe, David is drenched. Disaster is also averted when a calf breaks free - George catching it and Tony grabbing its mother. David asks Tracy to alert the committee that he'll be delayed while he finds dry clothes. Thinking she's addressing a committee member, Tracy explains to HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh that David has been delayed. Embarrassed by her mistake, Tracy goes on to explain that she's representing Bridge Farm, and is impressed to hear that Her Royal Highness has tasted Borsetshire Blue.
