This episode is a barrel roll of laughs and technical difficulties, but that won't stop the boys in the Satellite of Dreams from gushing about the oft-remade classic that is Star Fox 64. Combining short play times, punchy lightgun gameplay, and a branching narrative, Star Fox 64 remains one of THE games of the Nintendo 64 (and the 3DS, and the Wii U, and the Switch 2). Is there truly a secret sauce to this story of star furries? How much love does Brogan have for Bill, the dog?

In this heartwarming episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back second-grade teacher and picture book author Andrew Hackett to celebrate his new book, In This Classroom, and later sits down with Susan Cain and her son Eli Cain to talk about their tender picture book, Lucky and Norman: Saying Goodbye Is Bittersweet. Andrew shares how he juggles teaching, parenting, and writing—squeezing in drafts on soccer sidelines and early mornings—and why he actually loves revision more than drafting. He describes In This Classroom as his "manifesto" for what a classroom community can and should be: a place where differences are celebrated, kindness is taught alongside academics, and every child feels seen. Jed and Andrew talk honestly about the pressures on teachers, the loss of play in early grades, and how families can partner with educators to build truly inclusive, caring classrooms. In the second half, Susan and Eli recount the real-life story behind Lucky and Norman: two donkeys in Spain that Eli and his brother fell in love with—and then had to leave. Together they explore how kids experience goodbyes for the first time, why that pain can feel endless, and how memories can transform sorrow into something quietly beautiful. Susan connects this to her work in Quiet and Bittersweet, while Eli reflects with striking wisdom on longing, love, and growing up. This is a gentle, thoughtful conversation about community, empathy, and helping kids navigate big feelings—through reading, listening, and simply being there.

In the wake of 007: First Light, Brogan and Murph jump back to 2005 to experience the last time we were between Bonds and games had to make due. The solution for From Russia With Love was to go back to the OG martini shaker by recruiting Sir Sean Connery himself to reprise his favorite (and arguably best) performance as 007. Unfortunately, this also means that it's a 2005 video game adaptation of a 1960's spy film starring an 80 year-old man, creating one of the odder artifacts of the Bond franchise.TIMESTAMPS00:28 - The Perfect Sean Connery ImpersonationWatcha Playin'02:35 - Mina the Hollower (2026)16:04 - Mixtape (2026)26:45 - Zero Parades for Dead Spies (2026)35:39 - Dispatch(?)

Murph gets his freak on with guest host Stephen so he can finally talk about the best 7/10 AAA-Mid game: Days Gone. Once a showcloser for Sony's 2018 E3 showcase, Days Gone is already slipping from public consciousness. It's a crude, generic open-world zombie survival game about a sad white man...and yet there's something special about it (at least Murph thinks that). At very least it has the Sawmill Horde fight.TIMESTAMPS00:41 - The Cold OpenWatcha Playin'03:09 - Marathon (2026)18:55 - Echo Point Nova (2024)27:10 - Titanium Court (2026)38:20 - 007: First Light (2026)51:00 - Tomb Raider Minute: Tomb Raider III (1998)Variety Minute1:01:15 - AAA Open-World GamesGame of the Week1:23:25 - Days Gone (2019)2:04:28 - Plugs & Farewells

The name Quake is known far and wide in the annals of Boomer Shooterdom, but it's never enjoyed a contemporary revival like it's older siblings DOOM and Wolfenstein have.

Raglan has waved goodbye to the world's top surfers - for now - as the New Zealand leg of the World Surf League comes to an end. Surfing New Zealand's Ben Kennings spoke to John Campbell.
'Virtual farewells' have become a trend on Russian social media. AI generated videos, depicting soldiers who have been killed in the war and paid for by their families, are being produced by AI artists. They show fantastical scenes of soldiers ascending to heaven; portrayals of their family members as guardian angels hovering over the front line; or sometimes little boys imagining a heroic future fighting in Putin's war in Ukraine. Liza Fokht of BBC Russian has been following the trend on social media/. A documentary about deforestation in the West Papua region has attracted criticism from Indonesia's army. Some reports suggest the film Pesta Babi, or Pig Feast, has been banned, but the government insists that any cancelled screenings were the result of 'administrative procedures' and not an official ban. All the same, the controversy around the film seems to have made Indonesians more eager to find ways to watch it. BBC Indonesian's Lesthia Kertopati had a ticket for a screening this weekend. Since the military coup in 2021, both international and domestic tourism in Myanmar has dwindled as insecurity and unpredictability in the country has put people off travelling. Incidents of robbery and kidnapping of tourists have been reported in the ancient city of Bagan, one of the most famous tourist hotspots. Soe Win Tan of BBC Burmese explains why this is happening.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts.Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India.If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.
On this episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett dive into the tactical evolution of modern football after Manchester City's FA Cup final defeat, discussing Pep Guardiola's latest system and why the old “4-4-2” was never quite as simple as people remember. The pair also pay tribute to some of the Premier League greats saying goodbye this summer, including Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Casemiro, Andy Robertson, Mo Salah, Seamus Coleman and Kieran Trippier - reflecting on what made them special both on and off the pitch. There's an unexpected intermission as Martin heads off to a Chelsea press conference before returning with fresh insight from Cobham, including the story behind Chelsea suddenly discovering the long throw. Martin's Letter From The Gantry focuses on preparations for his 13th World Cup, from commentary prep and travel logistics to memories of USA '94 and the remarkable story of how forgotten notes in Bilbao eventually led to meeting his future wife. ‘Three of the Best' features Adam Wharton, Floyd Samba, Didier Drogba, Antoine Semenyo and more, while feedback includes debate over VAR, England's shape ahead of the World Cup, and messages from listeners around the world. #JoyOfFootball #JoyOfFootballPodcast #PremierLeague #FootballPodcast #PepGuardiola #ManchesterCity #LiverpoolFC #ChelseaFC #ManchesterUnited #CrystalPalace #WorldCup #MartinTyler #PremierLeagueLegends #FAcup #MoSalah #BernardoSilva #Casemiro #AndyRobertson #KieranTrippier #SeamusColeman #DidierDrogba #AntoineSemenyo #FootballFans #PremierLeaguePodcast
This episode covers a Graduation Sunday service at St. John's featuring the Gospel reading from John 17 and a closing reflection on Acts about spreading the gospel. The pastor encourages the congregation to be authentic and pass faith to the next generation. Three graduating seniors then deliver brief sermons: Connor reflects on choices, success, and finding God's calling; Meredith shares about trusting God amid anxiety and unexpected detours; and Cora celebrates relationships, belonging, and the church community that shaped her faith.
While Judith Collins farewell speech was probably the most notable event in the House this week, a relatively low key motion on Parliament funding was more than notable constitutionally. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede lyst over Tivoli Haven, hvor farverige blomster og flag dekorerede stierne.En: The sun shone brightly over Tivoli Haven, where colorful flowers and flags decorated the paths.Da: Det var forårsfestivalens højtid, og parken summede af liv.En: It was the height of the spring festival, and the park buzzed with life.Da: Søren, Mikkel og Astrid bevægede sig ind i den travle mængde, klar til en dag fyldt med eventyr.En: Søren, Mikkel, and Astrid moved into the bustling crowd, ready for a day filled with adventure.Da: Søren havde brugt timer på at planlægge hver detalje.En: Søren had spent hours planning every detail.Da: Han havde lavet en tidsplan for at sikre, at de kunne nå alt det bedste.En: He had created a schedule to ensure they could experience all the best attractions.Da: Men da de trådte ind i parken, var støjen, lugtene og menneskemængden mere overvældende end forventet.En: But as they stepped into the park, the noise, the smells, and the crowd were more overwhelming than expected.Da: Søren blev hurtigt anspændt.En: Søren quickly became tense.Da: Mikkel, derimod, var spændt.En: Mikkel, on the other hand, was excited.Da: Han pegede på den store rutsjebane, Dæmonen, og foreslog, at de prøvede den først.En: He pointed to the large roller coaster, Dæmonen, and suggested they try it first.Da: "Lad os starte med lidt fart!"En: "Let's start with some speed!"Da: råbte han, mens han trak Søren og Astrid i den retning.En: he shouted, while pulling Søren and Astrid in that direction.Da: Astrid smilede, men hendes tanker var andre steder.En: Astrid smiled, but her thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Hun havde en hemmelighed, som hun endnu ikke havde delt.En: She had a secret she had not yet shared.Da: Hun ønskede det perfekte øjeblik at fortælle dem.En: She wanted the perfect moment to tell them.Da: Som de gik gennem parken, blev hun mere og mere nervøs.En: As they walked through the park, she grew more and more nervous.Da: Da de havde prøvet forskellige forlystelser, begyndte Søren at indse, at hans plan måske ikke ville fungere.En: After trying different rides, Søren began to realize that his plan might not work.Da: Mikkels spontane idéer og Astrids roligere tempo gjorde det svært at følge tidsplanen.En: Mikkel's spontaneous ideas and Astrid's calmer pace made it difficult to stick to the schedule.Da: Med hver forlystelse blev det tydeligere, at dagen måske ikke ville gå som planlagt.En: With each ride, it became clearer that the day might not go as planned.Da: Endelig satte de sig ved en af festivalens mange boder for at spise en sen frokost.En: Finally, they sat down at one of the festival's many booths to have a late lunch.Da: Søren kiggede på sine venner og sukkede stille.En: Søren looked at his friends and sighed quietly.Da: "Måske behøver vi ikke følge planen så nøje," foreslog han.En: "Maybe we don't need to follow the plan so closely," he suggested.Da: "Vi kunne bare tage det roligt og se, hvor dagen fører os."En: "We could just take it easy and see where the day leads us."Da: Mikkel grinede og klappede ham på skulderen.En: Mikkel laughed and patted him on the shoulder.Da: "Det er den rette indstilling, Søren!"En: "That's the right attitude, Søren!"Da: sagde han opmuntrende.En: he said encouragingly.Da: Astrid slog blikket ned og besluttede, at det var nu eller aldrig.En: Astrid lowered her gaze and decided that it was now or never.Da: "Jeg har noget, jeg skal fortælle jer," begyndte hun tøvende.En: "I have something I need to tell you," she began hesitantly.Da: "Jeg har fået et jobtilbud i en anden by... og jeg har besluttet at tage imod det."En: "I've received a job offer in another city... and I've decided to take it."Da: Der blev stille et øjeblik, kun afbrudt af musikken og latteren omkring dem.En: There was a moment of silence, only broken by the music and laughter around them.Da: Søren følte en sorg blandet med glæde for Astrid.En: Søren felt a mix of sorrow and happiness for Astrid.Da: Mikkel blev også stille, men snart brød han stilheden med et varmt smil.En: Mikkel was also quiet, but soon he broke the silence with a warm smile.Da: "Det er fantastisk, Astrid!"En: "That's wonderful, Astrid!"Da: sagde han.En: he said.Da: "Vi kommer til at savne dig, men vi er også så glade på dine vegne."En: "We're going to miss you, but we're also so happy for you."Da: Søren nikkede.En: Søren nodded.Da: "Ja, vi skal gøre det meste ud af den tid, vi har nu."En: "Yes, we should make the most of the time we have now."Da: Med den beslutning brugte de dagen på at nyde festivalen fuldt ud.En: With that decision, they spent the day fully enjoying the festival.Da: De grinede gensidigt, prøvede nye forlystelser og delte minder fra deres tid sammen.En: They laughed together, tried new rides, and shared memories from their time together.Da: Som dagen nærmede sig slutningen, var det tid til fyrværkeri.En: As the day neared its end, it was time for fireworks.Da: Stående sammen i lyset fra raketterne, indså Søren, at han havde lært noget vigtigt.En: Standing together in the light of the rockets, Søren realized that he had learned something important.Da: Det var ikke kun planen, der betød noget, men tiden tilbragt med dem, han holdt af.En: It wasn't just the plan that mattered, but the time spent with those he loved.Da: Astid, Mikkel og Søren krammede til sidst hinanden, og de vidste, at selvom tingene ville ændre sig, ville deres venskab bestå.En: Astrid, Mikkel, and Søren finally hugged each other, knowing that even though things would change, their friendship would endure.Da: Tivoli Haven blev den smukke kulisse for deres farvel, og i ly af nattehimlen satte de pris på hver en stjerneskud.En: Tivoli Haven became the beautiful backdrop for their farewell, and under the cover of the night sky, they cherished every shooting star.

Transcript:Nl: Op een drukke lenteochtend op Schiphol sloot de geur van verse tulpen zich aan bij het rumoer van vertrekkende en aankomende reizigers.En: On a busy spring morning at Schiphol, the scent of fresh tulips mingled with the hustle and bustle of departing and arriving travelers.Nl: Sanne, met haar gedachten verward als de drukte om haar heen, stond stil voor de etalages van de winkels.En: Sanne, with her thoughts as tangled as the commotion around her, stood still in front of the shop windows.Nl: Ze zocht naar het perfecte afscheidscadeau voor Joris, haar partner die

zichzelf.En: "He loves to travel," Sanne said to herself.Nl: "Maar hoe kan ik mijn gevoelens tonen in een cadeau?"En: "But how can I express my feelings in a gift?"Nl: Ze voelde de twijfel in haar borst opkomen.En: She felt the doubt rising in her chest.Nl: De liefde voor Joris was sterk, maar de angst om zichzelf in de relatie te verliezen bleef knagen.En: The love for Joris was strong, but the fear of losing herself in the relationship kept gnawing at her.Nl: Maarten, haar trouwe vriend en steun, liep naast haar.En: Maarten, her faithful friend and support, walked beside her.Nl: "Je moet eerlijk zijn, Sanne.En: "You need to be honest, Sanne.Nl: Dit is je kans om je gevoelens te delen," drong hij aan.En: This is your chance to share your feelings," he urged.Nl: Zijn woorden klonken simpel, maar Sanne wist dat ze moeilijker uit te voeren waren dan ze leken.En: His words sounded simple, but Sanne knew they were harder to follow through with than they seemed.Nl: Na veel rondkijken stapte Sanne eindelijk een antiekwinkel binnen.En: After much browsing, Sanne finally stepped into an antique shop.Nl: Haar ogen vielen op een prachtig, vintage reisdagboek.En: Her eyes fell on a beautiful, vintage travel journal.Nl: De leren kaft was door de tijd verweerd, maar straalde een onmiskenbare charme uit.En: The leather cover was weathered by time, but exuded an unmistakable charm.Nl: "Dit is het," dacht ze ineens, maar een vleugje twijfel hield haar tegen.En: "This is it," she suddenly thought, but a touch of doubt held her back.Nl: Het dagboek zou een symbool van hun scheiding kunnen zijn, maar misschien ook van hun gedeelde reis.En: The journal could be a symbol of their separation, but perhaps also of their shared journey.Nl: Met het dagboek stevig in haar handen, ging Sanne naar de kassa.En: With the journal firmly in her hands, Sanne went to the checkout.Nl: Terwijl ze betaalde, flitsten beelden van hun samen door haar gedachten.En: As she paid, images of their time together flashed through her mind.Nl: Met een diepe ademhaling besloot ze haar angsten opzij te zetten.En: With a deep breath, she decided to set aside her fears.Nl: Aan de poort, in het terminal van Schiphol waar de luidsprekers de laatste oproep voor vlucht B17 omriepen, stond Joris klaar om te vertrekken.En: At the gate, in the terminal of Schiphol where the

"Sanne," begon Joris, zijn stem teder, "Ik ga je missen."En: "Sanne," Joris began, his voice tender, "I'm going to miss you."Nl: Zonder aarzeling gaf Sanne hem het dagboek.En: Without hesitation, Sanne handed him the journal.Nl: "Open het," zei ze zachtjes.En: "Open it," she said softly.Nl: Joris bladerde naar de eerste pagina en las hardop de woorden die Sanne met moed had neergeschreven: "Laten we dit dagboek vullen met onze verhalen, totdat we weer samen zijn."En: Joris turned to the first page and read aloud the words that Sanne had bravely written: "Let's fill this journal with our stories, until we are together again."Nl: Zijn ogen vulden zich met begrip en affectie.En: His eyes filled with understanding and affection.Nl: "Ik zal het volschrijven," beloofde hij.En: "I will fill it up," he promised.Nl: "En ik zal je elke pagina vertellen als we elkaar weer zien."En: "And I will tell you every page when we see each other again."Nl: Sanne voelde een last van haar schouders glijden.En: Sanne felt a weight lift from her shoulders.Nl: Ze wist dat ze niet alleen haar liefde, maar ook haar angsten had gedeeld.En: She knew she had shared not only her love but also her fears.Nl: Met Joris' belofte voelde ze dat hun band sterker was dan ooit, niet ondanks haar kwetsbaarheid, maar juist dankzij.En: With Joris' promise, she felt that their bond was stronger than ever, not despite her vulnerability, but because of it.Nl: Toen Joris door de beveiliging liep en verdween in de menigte, wist Sanne dat dit niet het einde was, maar het begin van een nieuw hoofdstuk samen.En: As Joris went through security and disappeared into the crowd, Sanne knew this was not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter together.

Sometimes life looks “right” on paper—but something inside quietly says, not anymore. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore what it takes to listen to that inner tug without panic, and how to choose meaning over momentum. This conversation is for anyone at a crossroads—especially later in life—wondering if it's too risky to change direction. Diane shares how she left a successful, technical career and stepped into service with grieving families, discovering that fulfillment isn't a title… it's alignment. About the Guest: Diane Gansauer is a former nonprofit and government professional who made a major life shift toward service and storytelling. She's the author of Waypoints: From 400 Farewells and 3,000 Miles, inspired by memorial-life interviews and her long-distance trek from Mexico to Canada. Episode Chapter: 00:06:00 — When success looks fine, but your spirit disagrees 00:08:25 — The early creative tug Diane never fully lost 00:10:20 — “Small-p politics” and when the joy leaves the work 00:14:45 — Redefining success beyond income and resumes 00:18:10 — Fear of the unknown: why we silence the inner voice 00:19:33 — Feeling embraced after the leap into service 00:27:10 — 400 farewells, 3,000 miles, and the overlap of lessons Key Takeaways: If the “joy leaves,” don't ignore it—treat it as honest data, not failure. Success defined by others can look stable while slowly draining your inner life. Courage often grows after the first step, not before it. Service becomes sustainable when it matches both your heart and your skills. Start small: test one act of service and notice what feels quietly true.

The Detroit Lions got outclassed by a so-so Pittsburgh Steelers roster because the plan failed before the ball was kicked. In late December, that is a coaching loss. It exposed a defense without cohesion, a depth chart stretched past its limits, and a Dan Campbell team that needs answers now. This Detroit Lions Podcast recap stares hard at why. Coaching Exposed in Steelers Loss The NFL is unforgiving when preparation lags. Pittsburgh brought a clear script and executed it. Detroit arrived with a better cast and a worse idea. The coaches were not good enough. The defense had no identity. The game plan did not fit the personnel available. That mismatch showed up on every level, from alignments to adjustments. The Steelers dictated with modest talent because they were organized. The Lions were not. That's the headline. It is also the trend. The final score felt earned, and not in a good way. Numbers over narratives point to the same truth. Too many explosive gains. Too many empty downs. Too many drives where Detroit never forced Pittsburgh off schedule. Depth, Scheme, and a Defense That Lost Its Shape Detroit's backups are not winning games in December. Injuries gutted the defense and chipped away at the offensive line again. The “next man up” idea sounds brave. It does not stop crossing routes or protect a corner stranded in man coverage he cannot play. You cannot build a man-heavy scheme and then ask reserves to survive it. Detroit tried to mix in zone. That fell apart too. The front four must cover for the back end. It did not. The starters up front are healthy, as are the three linebackers behind them. Pressure still lagged. That left a shaky secondary to hold forever. Plans that counted on additions like Josh Paschal and Levi Onwuzurike never stabilized. The result has been a defense gashed by everyone, not just top NFC offenses but a middle-tier Steelers unit as well. Worse, the same problems surfaced in other spots. Remember the 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers performance in Detroit. The Lions handed him leverage with structure. He took it. That is a scheme problem. It is also a self-scout problem that has not yet been solved. Flags, Farewells, and the Stakes for Dan Campbell Officiating cannot be the story, but it keeps grabbing the mic. The calls at the end were brutal. They did not decide the outcome. They did shape the discourse. When pool reporters and penalty explanations dominate the postgame, the NFL has a quality control issue. Detroit cannot count on cleaner Sundays. It must become call-proof. Hard choices are next. Some of the Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes originals are nearing the exit. Alex Anzalone may have played his last game at Ford Field. Others with devoted followings could join him. Sentiment meets performance here. Depth must get better. So must the plan to deploy it. This is the inflection point. The Detroit Lions have the talent to compete. They need a defense that fits who is actually available, not who was penciled in back in June. Campbell's next moves will define his tenure. Adapt now, or see December become a closed door again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsDHgopy-aQ #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #pittsburghsteelers #coachingloss #defensewithoutcohesion #depthchart #dancampbell #explosivegains #man-heavyscheme #crossingroutes #mancoverage #frontfour Learn more about your ad choices.
