Occultism was prominent in the highest echelon of the Third Reich, and mysterious figures from the shadows played outsized roles in the future of Germany. Upper management within the Nazi S.S. was reserved for those enlightened in the dark arts, with Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky heavily influencing those in positions of great power. Expeditions were launched globally to explore places under Antarctica, mysterious locations in the Andes of Peru, and the entrance to the hidden kingdom of Shambala inside the hollow Earth in Tibet, all searching for confirmation of their superiority through the collection of ancient artifacts. What did they find in these magical places, and did the Nazis really lose the war?Guest: Matt Ehret | https://substack.com/@matthewehret---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

On this episode of Humans of Travel, Captain Heidi Norling shares how a childhood spent sailing with her father in the Stockholm archipelago sparked a lifelong fascination with navigation and the sea. A graduate of Sweden’s Kalmar Maritime Academy, Norling learned by doing, studying nautical English, celestial navigation, radar communications, safety procedures and more while on ships all around the world. She joined National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions in 2019 as a captain — the first-ever female captain of the fleet, and she’s currently helming National Geographic Resolution, a 138-guest expedition ship. Women remain a small minority among the world’s sea captains, making Norling a role model for many. Listen in to hear about her daily life on an expedition ship and why she loves the work she does.

Scott Kerr is joined by Francesco Galli Zugaro, founder and CEO of Aqua Expeditions, an ultra-luxury small‑ship cruise operator specializing in taking UHNW travelers on immersive expeditions to some of the world's most remote destinations. Francesco, who founded Aqua in 2007 and a pioneer of luxury river cruising, discusses why expedition cruising resonates with wealthy travelers and if their risk tolerance has changed in the last 20 years. He also talks about why Aqua deliberately chooses to slow down and go deeper into each destination's ecosystem and culture on its voyages, how ultra-affluent guests getting younger and more active, and why its fine dining program is a psychological luxury counterpoint to the sensorially intense expeditions.

Sermon by Fr. Bob Fabey6th Sunday of Ordinary Time"Hope is what you are chained to. Hope is what confines you. Hope is what keeps you from being free to worry and despair. Hope is the shackle on your ankle and around your wrist. What a beautiful prison…"Discussion Questions:How is what was happening in 1876 similar to what is happening today? Expeditions, the Telephone, Steam engines, wars, Disputed presidential elections, the MLB…How is the Jewish experience of promise and fulfillment similar to ours?How are we like Lady Liberty? (Chains and Torch)Do you agree with Vaclav Havel's quote - "Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."In Romans 5, Paul makes the case for how we are to view our lives based on what God has done… “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith[b] into this grace in which we stand, and we[c] rejoice[d] in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”How have you experienced this to be true?What is one way you can live as a “prisoner of Hope”?“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” For hope to exist, there has to be darkness. For hope to be real, there has to be a prison. And we, in the prison.”-Desmond Tutu

In this podcast, I speak with Joe Flowers, a knife designer, outdoor guide, zoologist and entomologist whose work combines natural history, wilderness travel and traditional outdoor skills. Joe shares how a childhood fascination with knives, wildlife and the outdoors developed into a career designing blades for major manufacturers and leading expeditions in the Amazon. We discuss bushcraft knife design, the influence of figures such as Mors Kochanski, Ray Mears and Horace Kephart, lessons from jungle travel, and the importance of curiosity, experimentation and continual learning in developing wilderness skills.
In mid-2024, I had a hankering to design an asymmetric dueling game. However, I was daunted by the task of essentially designing two different games that existed in the same world and could have meaningful overlapping tensions. I quickly realized the obvious: Scythe and Expeditions are already different games that exist in the same alternate history and already have overlapping elements. https://stonemaiergames.com/duel-of-meloch-the-most-cross-compatible-product-weve-ever-made/
Welcome back to Wayward Stories! Tonight we're going to get back onto some of that Nomad Spirit, Sedentary Life energy we harnessed a couple of years back when school had me unable to go pretty much anywhere. I've recently been working on some itineraries for road trips from our national historic site that would trace the historic trails set by some of the earliest American explorers. So tonight, since I've been unable to do anything for quite some time, we're going to explore one of those itineraries. First traveled by Americans in 1821, the southern route of the Santa Fe Trail would go on to be a legendary legacy travel corridor. Tonight we're going to visit 26 different destinations on a massive round-trip adventure that will take us from natural wonders to cultural Meccas. From places like the Great Salt Plains and it's alabaster caverns to cultural centers like Santa Fe and Taos, the American southwest has a road trip tradition 200 years in the making. I hope you'll join me tonight to hear all about it! If you'd like to get in touch with me, just shoot an email to mywaywardstory@gmail.com -or- Head on over to www.waywardstories.com

Every generation of DJs builds on the techniques and inspirations of the previous generation. One to watch out for is Mar. starting out with commercial selections, Mar had been branching out and digging deeper in the the darker and heady realms of minimal electronic music. With only a year and a half behind the decks, you'd think Mar was born with some kind of musical sonar in his brain. his ability to blend the known and unknown is fresh and inspiring. including artists such as MJ Cole and Wookie mixed with Grenier, Facta, and Pura Pura. Mar is constantly pushing the style deeper and deeper, and honestly, we're here for it. which his unshakable drive to innovate, Mar is inspiring Djs both young and old to dust off their radars and build something magical. A few words from the Artist: "This Mix was a great time and a great learning experience for me. I was inspired to bridge the gap between my interests in tunes and the needs of the badlander. Between the dark garage, pop, and footwork cuts, I had tons of fun bouncing around and everyone loved it." - Mar

Kev LeStarge is appearing on the show for the very first time. He is an author of Sasquatch and lifelong explorer who's spent decades chasing one of the greatest enigmas in paranormal history not to prove it, but to understand it. Kevin's story began in the woods of Wisconsin, where a childhood fascination with Bigfoot grew into a life of exploration, reflection, and storytelling. His experiences blend real-world adventure with deep insights about why humans are drawn to the unknown, and how those mysteries can teach us about ourselves, our fears, and our need to believe.In this chat here are some of the discussion topics that come up:- Kevin's childhood fascination with the subject- Cryptid lore in the state of Wisconsin- Some of his experiences on Sasquatch expeditions- Why he decided to write children's books about this subject- How discussing the unexplained with our children will be vital to how they interact with it growing up in today's ever changing world- Portrayal of cryptids on The X-Files- Gifting exchanges w/ Sasquatch...including Phil's mysterious marble..Kevin has a hot take on this finding...to be continued!Plus so much more...Check out Kev's books here:https://www.amazon.com/Billy-Bigfoot-Childrens-Hangar-Publishing-ebook/dp/B0CNFCRS3G/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4VouYlqzz-DwBiXhqbePng.SCP1khQuEsRdEalTiDRrjc_yN-Ba03Lu6y8Kbg2bocI&dib_tag=se&qid=1755281168&refinements=p_27%3AKev+LeStarge&s=digital-text&sr=1-1&text=Kev+LeStargeGive Kev a follow on Instagram here:https://www.instagram.com/thebigfootarchive/Watch this episode on Rumble here:https://rumble.com/user/UnexplainedincConnect with Unexplained Inc. here:https://www.unexplainedinc.com

To get our special Space Nuts deal including four extra months for free, visit www.nordvpn.com/spacenutsExoplanets: The Cosmic Neighbours We Never Knew In this special episode of Space Nuts, hosts Andrew Dunkley and Professor Jonti Horner delve into the fascinating world of exoplanets. With over 6,200 confirmed exoplanets and counting, the duo explores the diversity and complexity of these distant worlds, challenging our assumptions about planetary systems beyond our own.Episode Highlights:- The Birth of Exoplanet Discovery: Andrew and Jonty reflect on the first confirmed exoplanets in the early 1990s and how our understanding of planetary systems has evolved since then. From the initial excitement to the current reality of thousands of discoveries, they discuss the implications of these findings.- Planetary Diversity: The hosts highlight the remarkable variety of exoplanets, including hot Jupiters, super-Earths, and even pulsar planets. They explore how these discoveries have shattered the notion that our solar system is typical, revealing a vast array of planetary types and characteristics.- Methods of Discovery: Andrew and Jonty explain the different techniques used to find exoplanets, including the radial velocity and transit methods. They discuss the technological advancements that have made these discoveries possible and the role of amateur astronomers in the search for new worlds.- Future Prospects: The conversation shifts to the future of exoplanet research, with a focus on upcoming missions like the Nancy Chris Roman Telescope and the Gaia satellite. The hosts speculate on the potential for discovering Earth-like planets and the ongoing quest to find life beyond our planet.- Philosophical Implications: Andrew and Jonty ponder the profound questions surrounding the existence of life in the universe, considering the statistical likelihood of life on other planets given the vast number of stars and planets in the cosmos.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website.

JD sits down with Bo Parham and Josh Hull of Jackson Off-Road for another Trail Hero Expeditions Interview Series episode, and this one has the perfect mix of overlanding, rock crawling, Jeep prep, desert chaos, and paramedic-level problem solving. Bo and Josh talk about how they got into off-roading, how their friendship grew from work into camping and trail runs, and why their Cherokee was the rig they trusted for a multi-day Trail Hero X adventure. They break down Expert-level navigation, sand, heat, overheating issues, cracked iPads, tire challenges, recovery ideas, and the kind of camp camaraderie that does not always make the TV edit. The story behind the Jackson Off-Road name adds some heart, while the guys' advice for future competitors is simple: have patience, get organized, and step outside your comfort zone. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at Trail Hero Expeditions from the team that ran it hard, fixed what they had to, and still came home friends, this is the one.Featured Team: Jackson Off-Road

In this episode, I discuss how white your snow should be on a print. There's a lot of high-key photography in which the majority of the image is pure white. Snow, without texture and tone in a print, will appear pure white and can often look unreal. Meanwhile, the actual scene may have been overcast, rendering the snow greyer or bluer. Wildlife paintings often render snow as grey or blue. How should you approach this?Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

Nous sommes le 1er juillet 1798. Jour du débarquement du général Bonaparte à Alexandrie. Vingt et un jour jours plus tard, l'Armée française d'Orient affronte et défait les Mamelouks à la bataille dites des pyramides. Cette victoire ouvre la route du Caire à Bonaparte qui va y lancer des travaux d'envergure et mener de vastes recherches archéologiques et scientifiques . En effet, le jeune général n'a pas emmené que des soldats avec lui, il est aussi accompagné de dizaines de grands savants qui ont pour mission d'enquêter sur le passé et le présent de l'Egypte, mais aussi de diffuser les idées des Lumières, les idées du siècle des philosophes. Pour cela, sera fondé l'Institut d'Égypte. Le futur Empereur Napoléon n'est pas le premier à avoir explorer cette partie de l'Orient. Ce sont, en réalité, les Danois qui ont dirigé les deux premières expéditions européennes. La première, en1737-1738, a vu Frederik Ludvig Norden partir d'Alexandrie et remonter le Nil jusqu'en Nubie. En 1761, le roi Frederik V fait envoyer une seconde expédition avec Carsten Niebuhr qui explorera l'Egypte et le Yémen. Ce sont donc Les Européens qui ont redécouvert la terre des pharaons : partons sur leurs traces… Avec nous Sébastien Polet, historien-orientaliste, de l'asbl Roma. Conférence en ligne le mercredi 13 mai 2026 à 18h00 : Expéditions européennes en Orient au siècle des Lumières. sujets traités : Danois, Bonaparte, Egypte ,siècle, lumières, expéditions, Carsten Niebuh, Frederik Ludvig Norden, Yémen.

Tiny Expeditions - A Podcast about Genetics, DNA and Inheritance
Welcome to a brand-new season of the Tiny Expeditions! This season, we're heading to the heart of the Wiregrass region in Alabama to explore a groundbreaking initiative: HudsonAlpha WIREGRASS Peanut Project. Dothan, Alabama, is known as the "Peanut Capital of the World," but the industry faces modern challenges like drought and disease. Enter biotechnology. We're going behind the scenes to see how HudsonAlpha is using genome-directed breeding to create a more resilient peanut, and they aren't doing it alone. In this season, you'll meet the local high school students who are stepping out of the classroom and into the lab. Through the WIREGRASS Peanut Project, these student scientists are performing 31-step DNA extractions and analyzing genomic data to help breeders select the crops of the future. In this season, we explore: The Science: How genomics is "future-proofing" our food supply. The Education: How local schools are becoming hubs for biotech innovation. The Future: How the new Wiregrass Innovation Center is attracting biotech companies and high-wage jobs to the region.

It's Thursday... Again! (seriously, when are we getting new days of the week? they promised to do that in the reality patch notes) For Episode 313, MumbleBee is back behind the decks with a moody DnB opener recorded live at Frequency Expeditions (every second Friday of the month at the Badlander, Missoula, MT) MumbleBee is known for not giving a #$%! but also kind of giving a *%^$. But more importantly, they can often be heard playing vibey sets that meander through emotions and stories. This captured live set tells the story of a technomancer who decides to rebel against the systems of control. unfortunately they're just a small fish in a small pond and inevitably get arrested by the rave police! :0 While in captivity, the technomancer learns to free themself from the confines of their flesh. A few words from the artist: "I'm always finding myself in humbling situations where I need to check my ego. Luckily, I am surrounded by patient friends whom I love and who love me. together, we love the music." - MumbleBee For more MumbleBee: Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/mumble_b33 Bandcamp - https://mumblebeew33b.bandcamp.com/album/feline-ep

#442: Ray Zahab 8 -- Mentorship, Perspective, and His Recent Expeditions Through Chile by Chris Ward
Capt. Nick LaBadie is a Florida native through and through. Raised on the Gulf Coast just minutes from Boca Grande, he grew up fishing one of the most renowned tarpon fisheries in the world. From the time he could hold a rod, he was hooked—spending his childhood on the water and developing a deep-rooted passion for life on the water. After moving to the Florida Keys, Nick quickly became captivated by the technical challenges and endless opportunities of the flats. He poured himself into the art of sight fishing in shallow water, targeting a variety of species with both fly and spinning gear. The precision, patience, and strategy required to consistently succeed on the flats soon became his specialty. Deep down, though, Nick is a permit junkie—and a highly accomplished one at that. His passion for chasing these notoriously challenging fish has translated into tournament success, including winning the IGFA Permit Tournament in 2020 alongside guide Brandon Cyr, the March Merkin in 2024 with angler Rob Dougherty, and the Del Brown Permit Tournament in 2025 with angler Kat Vallilee. These victories reflect not only his dedication to the species, but also his ability to perform at the highest level under pressure. Since 2012, Nick has guided anglers throughout the flats and backcountry waters of Key West and the Lower Keys. From Big Pine Key to the Marquesas Keys, he has spent countless hours exploring and refining techniques that consistently put clients in position for success.
