In this episode of the Supporting Champions Podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant Kate Spilsbury—a former colleague, friend, and leading performance physiologist. Kate's journey from nutrition to physiology is both inspiring and instructive, and I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her to the show. We explore the critical moments in athlete preparation—particularly tapering and peaking—and why getting them right can lead to breakthroughs or breakdowns in performance. Drawing on her experience in both British athletics and now high-performance sport in Australia, Kate shares deep insights into how training systems compare, how to support athletes through the nerves of tapering, and how individualized approaches are key to unlocking potential. This conversation is rich with reflections from her research (including Kenyan vs. British runners), her experience leading into the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, and her wisdom on monitoring, recovery, and pacing strategies that really work.   ✅ Key Topics ✔️ Tapering and peaking for optimal performance ✔️ Transition from nutrition to physiology ✔️ High performance systems in the UK vs. Australia ✔️ Managing training loads and athlete readiness ✔️ Monitoring tools: HRV, pacing, and athlete feedback ✔️ The psychological side of tapering ✔️ Individualization in endurance and team sports ✔️ Environmental factors: heat, altitude, geography ✔️ Recovery strategies and their effectiveness

Environmental communication scholar Dr. Hanna Morris shared her insights from "Apocalyptic Authoritarianism: Climate Crisis, Media, and Power," her 2025 book with Oxford Univ Press. This book meets the political moment in analyzing the way most mainstream news media actually lean moderate to right in climate coverage that "others" and villianizes the New Left activists and progressive politicians as too 'radical' or 'woke' (like A.O.C. and often other women of color or those proposing the Green New Deal) in favor of older American narratives of "order" and quick solutions via white male authorities and American exceptionalism, rather than exploring democratic coalitions of many  Americans who are proposing deeper climate justice and equity initiatives and new sustainable ways of living (going beyond simplified technological global warming fixes preferred by authorities). But Morris has ideas for how more robust climate journalism --that challenges privileged authority figures, respects the wisdom of the public, and acknowledges the violences of the climate crisis -- could foster the kinds of democratic and holistic/deep responses the climate crisis warrants. We discuss current issues that the journalism profession is facing in this digital era and trump regime. Dr. Morris and I begin this 50-minute In Tune to Nature podcast by chatting about our upcoming trips to Tasmania for the Conference on Communication and the Environment #COCE2025 as members of the International Environmental Communication Association that we volunteer for. I end the podcast with audio of an Australian (Tasmanian) animal species (nonhuman) and ask you to identify the species and email me your guess.

Southern California air regulators are voting today on two proposed regulations to curb smog and lessen pollution that’s heating up the planet. For nearly two years, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which regulates air quality across much of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, has been working to update rules to phase out gas furnaces and water heaters. A recent data analysis by climate think tank Rocky Mountain Institute found that gas-burning equipment in homes and businesses in Greater L.A. produces seven times more smog-forming pollution than the region’s power plants. Environmental advocates say the rules have been watered down significantly and should be stricter, while the gas industry and its partners say the rules will strain the power grid and raise costs for consumers. Today on AirTalk, LAist climate and environment reporter Erin Stone, deputy managing attorney and director of the Right To Zero campaign at Earthjustice Adrian Martinez, and President of the Los Angeles County Business Federation, David Englin, join Larry to discuss the differing arguments in play around these rules. With files from LAist.

This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to talk about scaffolding - what it means, how it helps with hoarding recovery, and why our needs for support change over time. We break down practical, emotional, and motivational scaffolding, from therapy and peer support to self-made systems and the way we talk to ourselves. If you've ever wondered how to find the right kind of help without feeling stuck with it forever, this is the episode for you. Buy your copy of Everything You Need to Know About Hoarding by Dr Lynne Drummond at cambridge.org/EverythingHoarding, and get 20% off with the discount code HOARDING20. #ad Explanation of Scaffolding and the Zone of Proximal Development Definition of scaffolding from educational psychology. Origins in Lev Vygotsky's work: helping people accomplish tasks with support. Relevance to hoarding and recovery. Application of Scaffolding to Hoarding Recovery Psychological, cognitive, and emotional elements in hoarding. Physical and organisational skill deficits in people who hoard. Differences and interplay between psychological barriers and practical skills. Illustrating support levels: from high assistance to independence. Personal examples demonstrating that support needs can resurface over time. The Changing Nature of Scaffolding Scaffolding shifts in form and amount as people progress or encounter setbacks. Individualisation: What's supportive for one may not be for another. Types of Scaffolding for Hoarding Recovery External supports: therapists, peers, coaches. Direct instruction and physical assistance. Environmental modifications. Tools and resources. Social encouragement and accountability. Assessing current functioning. Matching support to challenge level (not too easy, not too hard). Gradually reducing support as independence grows. Scaffolding for Neurodivergent Individuals Adjustments for ADHD: Shorter work periods, built-in breaks. Accountability partners and visual reminders/checklists. Adjustments for Autism: Predictable routines. Clear rules and decision trees. Sensory-friendly environments. Executive Function Challenges and Tailored Scaffolding Strategies like breaking down decisions, using templates, "parking lot" systems for deferred decisions. Recognising that executive function can be context-specific and fluctuate. Importance of Emotional Scaffolding Emotional regulation during dehoarding. Need for self-soothing and distress-tolerance skills as support is reduced. Informal and Internal Scaffolding Peer support, self-talk, problem solving, reminders. Adapting systems in the home as a supportive structure. Habituation and Evolvement of Support Systems Reminder fatigue and strategies to combat it (rotating formats, colours, locations). The necessity for systems to evolve as needs and effectiveness change. Mindset Shifts and Realistic Expectations Acceptance that supports may need to be re-engaged during crises or setbacks. Not viewing return to scaffolding as failure - progress and healing aren't linear. Testing assumptions about personal limitations. Re-evaluating and Customising Support Creating, testing, and modifying practical systems in the home with or without outside perspective. Recognising the value of trying new strategies even if initial skepticism exists.

Send us a textTiny explores Rabbit Hole's Hiegold Single Barrel Cask Strength bourbon while discussing the brand's artistic approach to bottle design and distillery architecture. We take a deep dive into the complex nature of bourbon blending, aging conditions, and how whiskey changes over time.• Rabbit Hole Distillery founded by Kaveh Zamanian creates bourbon that captures the essence of what you smell in actual rickhouses• Kentucky exclusive Hiegold features special label designs by Mark Gagnon celebrating Ohio's aviation history• The Louisville distillery offers a modern architectural experience culminating in a sixth-floor bar with city views• Rabbit Hole's lineup includes Cave Hill (standard bourbon), Hiegold (high rye), DARERINGER (sherry finished), and Boxergrail (rye)• Discussion of how bourbon consistency was the industry standard until about 10 years ago when batch variation became desirable• Experiment mixing Cave Hill and Hiegold together created a distinct gingerbread cookie flavor not present in either bourbon alone• Environmental factors affecting bourbon from production through transportation and shelf storage significantly impact flavor• Upcoming podcast featuring Greg Schneider and his new Four Branches Distillery's 9-year Kentucky straight bourbonPlease support our sponsors: Middle West Spirits (check out their new purchase of Old Elk), Whiskey Thief Distillery, Spirit of French Lick, Rosewood Bourbons and Ryes, and Alan Bishop's One Piece at a Time Distilling Institute.Bourbon enthusiasts know that every bottle tells a story, but Rabbit Hole takes this concept to artistic heights with their intricately designed single barrel releases. Tiny explores their Hiegold expression – a bourbon featuring German rye that captures the authentic essence of what you smell walking through a Kentucky rickhouse rather than the caramel-sweet profiles dominating today's market.The episode peels back the layers on Rabbit Hole's Louisville distillery, a modern architectural marvel where visitors spiral alongside the still, culminating at a sixth-floor bar overlooking the city. Unlike traditional Kentucky distilleries that lean heavily on heritage, founder Kaveh Zamanian has created a contemporary bourbon experience that honors tradition through flavor rather than façade.What truly captivates is Tiny's deep dive into bourbon's evolution over the past decade. Where consistency once reigned supreme, today's market celebrates batch variation – a marketing revolution pioneered by legends like Elmer T. Lee, Jimmy Russell, and Booker Noe who transformed "inconsistency" into exclusivity. Similarly, finished whiskeys once derided by purists are now embraced as innovative expressions of the distiller's craft.The most fascinating segment comes when Tiny experiments with mixing bourbons, discovering how Cave Hill and Hiegold together create a distinct gingerbread cookie note absent in either bourbon independently. This sparks a broader discussion about how bourbon's chemical composition continuously evolves through production, transportation, storage conditions, and even how it settles on your shelf at home.Whether you're a bourbon novice or connoisseur, this episode offers valuable insights into how environmental factors shape what's in your glass, why modern distilleries are embracing batch variation, and why the seemingly simple act of If You Have Gohsts voice over Whiskey ThiefSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

In marking World Environment Day which is observed every year on 5 June this year's theme, Ending Plastic Pollution, an urgent call is made about plastic waste choking our planet and threatening human health. A global study by the University of Newcastle for the World Wide Fund for Nature reveals a disturbing truth: we may be ingesting up to 5 grams of plastic each week, equivalent to the weight of a credit card. Doctors Without Borders says The time for bold, urgent action is now. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Neo Tsotetsi, Climate Engagement Coordinator at Doctors Without Borders.

Many of us get into this industry because we have personal horror stories with mold. For me, I bought a home that had floor to ceiling mold in the kitchen. It was completely invisible to the naked eye, until we started the renovation process and took walls down to the studs.For today's guest, Megan Carson, she was reaching a sever level of mold toxicity and couldn't identify the source until having an ERMI test and an inspection. Luckily, she was able to get out of her lease and high tail it out of there! But that led her down the path to becoming the founder of Guided Well LLC. She is a certified mold inspector and IEP with a specialized focus on client education and building defect identification related to poor building science and design in relation to indoor air quality issues. After her own four walls made her sick, she's making it her mission to help other people out of that sort of situation.For any of you home renters out there, we're starting this conversation with some safe guards that all renters need to know about. From getting your own inspections (not through management) to discussing additional clauses in the lease to guarantee a way out if water damage becomes an issue. Then, we're chatting all things remediation so you don't have to go into the process already overwhelmed.In this episode, we're chatting about:Why Megan became a mold inspectorThe importance of good testing and validation before remediationHow to vet a mold inspectorWhat the sampling process should look like (hint: it's not supposed to just be air samples in the middle of the room)Learning the difference between restoration and remediationWhy encapsulation should only be used as a last resortConnect with Megan: InstagramConnect with me: InstagramMore Resources

In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared back in Episodes 298 and 451, Alex Walker, CEO of East Star Resources, are focused on the discovery and development of VMS, porphyry and sediment hosted copper deposits in Kazakhstan.A former captain in the Australian Army Reserves, Alex has more than 15 years of investment banking, mining finance, and management experience before joining East Star in 2021. He gives us an update since we last spoke in July 2024, updates on their drilling campaigns, ESG, and how Kazakhstan is developing as a mining jurisdiction. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kazakhstan is emerging as a favourable mining jurisdiction, attracting significant investment from major companies like Fortescue, Barrick, and Ivanhoe. The country has made strides in improving its regulatory framework, including digitising applications and maintaining a stable royalty rate. The company is utilising modern exploration techniques, including AI data processing and advanced geochemical sampling, to enhance target identification and reduce fieldwork time. These technologies are helping to refine their understanding of potential deposits. East Star is committed to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its operations.

What comes after the collapse of capitalism? Mass famine? Global war? Environmental destruction? Oh wait, all of that's already happening!It seems like, as a species, we're at a bit of a breaking point. Which means revolution is afoot, and we have to wonder: what the hell happens when it gets here? For most of us, though, it's not easy to project what life looks like after the next economic revolution.It's even more complex to wonder what happens to queer life: do we keep all our labels – "gay" "cis" "queer" – without a capitalist framework? Can we still go on vacation with our chosen families? Will there be any good gay bars?!In this bonus episode, we team up with sociologist and author, Eman Abdelhadi, to imagine the radical, queer, and–get this–genuinely optimistic future that The Much-Awaited Revolution could offer us.Drawing from her speculative oral history novel Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune 2052–2072, we explore what a world organized around care, kinship, and collective survival might look like.Books mentioned:Everything for Everyone – Iman Abdelhadi & E.M.

Welcome to another spine-chilling episode where we delve deep into one of America's most enduring supernatural legends. Tonight, we explore the terrifying tale of the Jersey Devil, a creature born from desperation, blasphemy, and a mother's curse that echoes through nearly three centuries of American folklore.Our story begins in the winter of 1735, deep within New Jersey's Pine Barrens, a vast wilderness that has always been different from other forests. The Lenape Native Americans spoke of this place in hushed tones, calling it a land of shadows where spirits dwelt in the deepest groves.When European settlers arrived, they found the forest resistant to civilization itself, as if the very soil rejected their attempts at taming the wild.In this primordial landscape lived the Leeds family, existing on the margins of colonial society in a ramshackle cabin that seemed to exhale malevolence. Deborah Leeds, weathered by hardship and twisted by bitterness, had already borne twelve children to her weak-willed husband Daniel. As she felt the stirrings of her thirteenth child, the crushing weight of poverty and desperation drove her to make a bargain that would damn not just her own soul, but unleash upon the world a creature so terrible that its very existence would become woven into the fabric of American folklore.On the night of January 13th, 1735, as an unnatural storm raged outside their cursed cabin, Mother Leeds spoke words of blasphemy that would forever change the Pine Barrens. In her fury at God's apparent abandonment, she cursed her unborn child, asking that it be born not as a blessing but as the very Devil himself. Her desperate plea was answered in ways she could never have imagined.What emerged from that supernatural birth was no ordinary child, but a creature that defied every law of nature and sanity. Before the horrified eyes of the Leeds family, the infant underwent a transformation so violent and complete that it became something altogether inhuman. With a horse-like head, leathery wings, burning red eyes, and an intelligence both ancient and malevolent, the Jersey Devil was born into a world unprepared for its terrible presence.Our tale follows the creature's first night of freedom as it discovered the intoxicating rush of inspiring fear itself. The Jersey Devil's early encounters with isolated farming families like the Whitmores revealed not just a monster, but an entity that could think, plan, and choose to be cruel with calculating precision. These weren't random acts of violence, but carefully orchestrated campaigns of terror designed to feed on the very essence of human fear. As word of the creature's rampage spread through the Pine Barrens, colonial authorities took notice.Captain Jeremiah Stockton's military expedition into the forest resulted in a confrontation that demonstrated the Jersey Devil's power to reshape reality itself, turning the very environment into a weapon against those who would challenge its dominion. The creature's victory over organized opposition established it not merely as a local threat, but as a force that could defy the authority of kings and governors.The Jersey Devil's influence expanded beyond simple terrorism as it learned to manipulate the psychological landscape of entire communities.The fishing village of Tuckerton became the stage for a supernatural siege that tested the limits of human faith against otherworldly malice. When the creature made its dramatic appearance in the village church, it sought to destroy not just bodies but souls, exposing the secret sins and hidden shames of the congregation.Yet in this confrontation, the Jersey Devil encountered something unexpected—resistance that could not be overcome through terror alone. The simple faith of ordinary people, led by the courage of an elderly sexton named Samuel Hartwell, proved that even the darkest powers had limits. This defeat marked a turning point in the creature's understanding of its own nature and the true complexity of human resistance.Driven by rage and a hunger for revenge, the Jersey Devil employed more subtle methods of warfare, infiltrating the dreams and subconscious minds of Tuckerton's residents. Through sustained psychological pressure, it accomplished what brute force could not, turning the community against itself until neighbor betrayed neighbor and the bonds of trust dissolved into paranoia and violence. The destruction of Tuckerton demonstrated that even the strongest faith could be eroded by doubt, fear, and the gradual corruption of human relationships.Our exploration extends beyond the creature's origins to trace how the Jersey Devil legend evolved through American history. From academic investigations by colonial scholars to mass sightings during the famous "Phenomenal Week" of 1909, the creature adapted to changing times while maintaining its essential mystery. Environmental challenges, industrial development, and modern skepticism all shaped how each generation encountered and interpreted the legend.The Jersey Devil's story reveals deeper truths about the nature of folklore and its function in human society. In an age of increasing scientific understanding and technological advancement, the creature represents something more profound than simple superstition. It embodies the enduring human need for mystery, the recognition that some experiences transcend rational explanation, and the acknowledgment that there are still places in the world where the known and unknown coexist in uneasy tension.The Pine Barrens themselves remain largely unchanged despite centuries of human habitation, their ancient forests still holding secrets that may never be fully revealed. Whether the phenomena reported by travelers represent encounters with the Jersey Devil itself or manifestations of collective expectation and cultural memory is perhaps less important than their continued occurrence. The legend persists because it serves essential functions that transcend entertainment or historical curiosity.Tonight's tale reminds us that the most powerful stories are often those that can never be definitively proven true or false. The Jersey Devil stands as a testament to the enduring power of the unexplained, a bridge between older ways of understanding the world and our modern attempts to categorize and quantify every aspect of existence. In a universe that science seeks to map with ever-increasing precision, some truths remain forever beyond the reach of equations and databases.As we conclude this journey into the heart of American supernatural folklore, remember that the Jersey Devil continues to soar through the darkness on leathery wings, its red eyes burning like coals in the infinite night.The legend lives on, waiting in the depths of the Pine Barrens for the next traveler brave enough to venture into its domain and discover whether it represents merely a story told to frighten children, or something far more profound and dangerous than any rational mind dares to consider .The thirteenth child of Mother Leeds has achieved an immortality that transcends the physical world, dwelling forever in the realm of imagination where it will continue to evolve for as long as human beings gather to share tales of the wonderful and terrible things that lurk just beyond the edges of our understanding.

This week, we are taking a closer look at equine sarcoids. Equine sarcoids are a common issue that can be concerning for horse owners. These skin growths are neither serious nor life-threatening, but they can be unsightly and sometimes tricky to manage. They tend to vary in appearance and location, and in some cases, can go unnoticed until they become more visibly pronounced.What Are Equine Sarcoids?Sarcoids are skin tumors that account for 36 to 40% of equine tumors. They can be flat, raised, crusty, weepy, or ulcerated, and can grow and spread at different rates. There are two main types: dry sarcoids and ulcerated (weepy and inflamed) sarcoids. They are generally benign and don't spread to internal organs, but they can cause serious problems if they obstruct bodily functions like urination or defecation.Conventional vs. Holistic ApproachesWith traditional veterinary treatments, which include cutting, freezing, or surgically removing sarcoids, recurrence is common. Holistic practitioners aim to understand why the sarcoids appeared in the first place. Removing growths will not solve the internal imbalance that allowed them to develop.Potential Causes and TriggersSarcoids, which may originate from the bovine papillomavirus, behave like viruses, flaring up with stress, toxicity, and nutritional deficiencies. Horses with compromised immune systems due to anxiety, malnutrition, or chronic stress are more prone to developing sarcoids. Events like moving farms, losing a herd mate, accidents, poor-quality hay, or vaccines can act as triggers.Chemical Toxicity and VaccinesSarcoids could result from exposure to chemicals. Sprays on hay, some feeds, and vaccines can attack horses' immune systems. When their immune system is under strain, dormant viruses can activate, allowing sarcoids to spread rapidly. Sarcoids often tend to appear soon after vaccinations, especially in compromised horses.Skin as an Elimination OrganThe skin acts as a pathway for the body to release toxins and reflect internal imbalances. When sarcoids appear on the skin, they are often signs of an internal issue.Malabsorption and Nutritional GapsA horse may seem to be getting good nutrition, yet still be malnourished if it does not absorb nutrients properly. Ulcers or chronic nervous system stress can interfere with their nutrient uptake and contribute to a weakened immune system.Environmental and Age FactorsAt around 15, horses often start showing signs of conditions that have been building silently for years. Chronic stress, aging, and accumulated exposure to harmful substances can contribute to immune dysfunction and tumor development.The Role of Detoxification and the LiverThe liver detoxifies chemicals, medications, and environmental toxins. If it is overburdened, the immune system suffers. Many horses show signs of liver strain if they have been on long-term medication or exposed to repeated vaccinations and chemical-laden feeds.Immune System and Pathogen LoadChronic issues like thrush, scratches, or recurrent parasite infections indicate a compromised immune system. Parasites, bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi often coexist, increasing the toxic load and making it harder for horses to maintain internal balance.Using Nutritional TherapyNutritional therapy is a preferred holistic strategy. It involves using single nutrients in specific doses to clean up toxicity, correct imbalances, and support immune health. Antioxidants like selenium and vitamin C can help to detoxify chemicals and support liver function.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her

Is green a red and blue construct? Put another way, is there a political partisan divide over the environment? That's a particularly interesting question, no doubt more so in recent years as the country seems to have drifted farther and farther apart because of our political beliefs. To that point, a reader reached out the other day to say our stories shouldn't be negative on the Trump Administration because the national parks are going to need the help of all of us - Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everything in-between - to survive. But are environmental issues highly partisan? For the Traveler's purpose, we'll define “environmental issues” as those focused on public lands, wildlife, clean air, clean water, and of course the national parks. To help us try to answer that question, our guest today is Caleb Scoville, a professor at Tufts University who has received an Andrew Carnegie fellowship to explore that question.

We discuss Candida overgrowth virulence and how disruptions in microbial balance, immune function, and epithelial integrity impact Candida's pathogenicity. Additionally, we discuss the role of mast cells in the lamina propria, their involvement in mucosal immunity, and how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be exacerbated by fungal dysbiosis / microbial imbalances.Topics: 1. Introduction - The intestinal mycobiome and its role in intestinal health.  - Regulating populations of opportunistic fungal species like Candida albicans.- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) intro.   2. Structure of the Intestinal Barrier- The microbiome and mucus layer: microbes, mucins, antimicrobial peptides, sIgA.- The epithelial monolayer: enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells…- Tight junction proteins and paracellular transport.- The lamina propria beneath the epithelium: immune cells and more. 3. Candida's Pathogenicity and Barrier Disruption- Exists primarily in its yeast form, regulated by microbial competition, host immune defenses, antifungal peptides.  - Secretory IgA (sIgA) and immune surveillance mechanisms help regulate fungal populations. - Chronic stress, immune suppression, and dysbiosis can deplete sIgA, increasing susceptibility to Candida proliferation.  - Environmental triggers such as immune suppression, microbial depletion, inflammatory cytokines.- Yeast-to-hyphal transition, deeper tissue invasion.  - Secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAPs), phospholipases, candidalysin: epithelial damage.- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and overgrowth detection. 4. Impact of Beneficial Bacteria on Candida Overgrowth  - Beneficial bacteria compete with Candida for nutrients and epithelial adhesion sites.  - Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by beneficial bacteria.- Depletion of beneficial bacteria removes ecological resistance, allowing Candida to proliferate unchecked.   5. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria and Their Role in Intestinal Immunity- Mast cell location - Upon activation, mast cells release histamine, cytokines, proteases, and more that regulate gut immune responses.  - Histamine can increase gut permeability and modulate local immune activation.  - Tryptase and chymase. - Pro-inflammatory cytokines.  6. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Mast cell hyperactivation.- Environmental triggers, toxins, chronic infections, and stress. - Candida overgrowth and mast cell activation.- Addressing microbial imbalances and reducing the body's total microbial, chemical, and toxin burden.- A diverse microbiome.   7. Conclusion- Candida overgrowth and regulation via immune defenses and beneficial bacterial competition.- MCAS, root cause approach.Get Chloe's Book Today!
