Podcasts about Fiji

The Pod is back with Goodey and Jim fresh (and a bit bruised) from the 745 charity game - where Jim “put the fear of God” into a few league legends. The lads break down a huge weekend of international rugby: England's bench-powered surge past Fiji, Scotland's heartbreak against the All Blacks, and the Springboks' masterclass in Paris despite going down to 14 men. There's plenty of chat about Fin Smith v George Ford, and Rassie proving why he's the smartest coach in rugby. The boys also reveal some big travel plans, plus Ireland bounce back against Japan, Italy going back to back against Australia, and Argentina out muscling Wales.

In Part 1, Lee and Paul are joined by Nathan Joyes, a South American football expert and the host of the Copa Club Podcast to talk about some sensational stories from the CONMEBOL nations this season. Why do Chile's new champions Coquimbo Unido have a pirate theme? Which strategic decision helped Mirassol rise from the sixth tier to the brink of the Copa Libertadores? Is there something in the water in Argentina, where underdogs are sweeping up the trophies? And which other South American country deserves a special mention? In Part 2, the focus moves to elsewhere in the southern hemisphere: Oceania. Lee attended the soft launch event for the OFC Pro League, the continent's first-ever professional competition, and has some interesting nuggets to share. Where and when will the OFC Pro League get under way? How will the tournament benefit the Tahiti and Fiji national teams. Is Christchurch United's rebrand as South Island United a good or bad decision? And would South Melbourne theoretically be able to represent Oceania at the Club World Cup?

This week, the All Blacks (dressed in white) and down to three yellow cards — somehow held off a charging Scotland to keep their undefeated record alive. The Boks ate a full red card and still produced the performance of the weekend, thumping a fired-up France at home. Australia stumbled their way into a famous loss to Italy, and England edged a brilliant-but-gassed Fiji side.We chat all that and a lot of BS.Grab a beer and enjoy

If French rugby is fine wine, the Boks uncorked it, chugged it straight from the bottle, and smashed the glass on the way out. The Springboks have once again marched into Paris like uninvited houseguests, stomping mud across the carpets, smashing the crockery, and pocketing a few heirlooms for good measure. France looked overrated, outmuscled, and utterly unable to dent the Bok defence, while the refereeing circus gave us scrums that made no sense, a red card that raised eyebrows, and yellows that felt more like lottery tickets. Rassie's substitutions were bold, Siya's leadership was immense, and Esterhuizen looked every bit the golden key to unlock this side. Sasha or Manie — who's really the man (hint, it's still Pollard)? Meanwhile, the 9s are bringing the heat, but KLA might not be it. Beyond Paris, the Northern Hemisphere chorus of “we're undercooked” rang out again, conveniently forgetting that the shoe is on the other foot every June. Italy toppled Australia, leaving us wondering if Joe Schmidt's fire has fizzled. Scotland spooked themselves against New Zealand in what quickly became the DMac show. England scraped past Fiji, though the islanders could easily have stolen it, with refereeing once again in the spotlight. Wales, poor Wales, were left licking wounds after Argentina gave them another bruising reminder of reality. And in the background, World Cup qualification permutations rumble on: Namibia struggling, Belgium proving they're more than just chips. It was a weekend of broken narratives, hot takes, and Southern Hemisphere swagger, and we're here to stir the pot with all the banter you can handle. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show

This week, Jason is joined by Love Island USA standout and rising lifestyle creator, Kaylor Martin! Kaylor became a fan favorite during season six of Love Island where her humor, authenticity, and confidence caught national attention. Since leaving the villa, she turned that spotlight into a career, growing her platform, collaborating with some of the biggest brands in the country, and building a personal brand that is going well beyond TV.  Kaylor dives into the many different ways she was making an income before Love Island — from juggling six college classes and three jobs to tutoring on the side. She shares how she graduated college and flew to Fiji just a week later, what the application process for Love Island was really like, and why she decided to be bold and a little vulgar in her questionnaire. Kaylor opens up about her expectations going into the show versus what actually happened, her relationship with money, and why she still holds onto the broke college student mentality. She talks about spending the last of her money on Shein outfits for the show, how she hopes to use her platform moving forward, and whether she'd consider going back to school.  Kaylor also breaks down the value she sees in education, how she defines her brand, and why she's sticking with content creation. She takes listeners behind the scenes of Love Island — including how she got some secret intel — reveals how much her first brand deal paid, and shares why she loves staying constantly busy. Plus, Kaylor opens up about filming Beyond the Villa during a dark time in her life, the other reality shows she'd consider joining, why she likes LTK and Amazon Storefront, and what her plans are for the future. Kaylor reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Autumn Nations, November Tests, Quilter Series...whatever you prefer to call it, the weekend's rugby wrapped up. France vs South Africa; England vs Fiji; Scotland vs New Zealand; Wales vs Argentina...and the rest. LTBP! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dan Cole & Ben Youngs have been thrilled by a pulsating weekend of Autumn Nations Series rugby and are here to break down the action. England overcame a physical and well-drilled Fiji, Scotland were *so close* to making history and beating New Zealand for the first time, and South Africa survived 40 minutes of rugby with 14 men to beat France in Paris.

Alfie Reynolds and Will Kelleher look back on England's victory over Fiji at Twickenham. For the second week in a row Steve Borthwick's side managed to win the match comfortably despite not being at their best. Plus, Fiji gave further evidence that they will continue to be a force to be reckoned with at international level.With New Zealand next up for England, they ask how well the first two weekends of November have prepared them to take on the All Blacks. And, question who should play at fly-half, George Ford or Fin Smith. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

England have now won nine Test matches in a row after they finished strongly to beat Fiji 38-18 in Twickenham and set up a huge meeting with New Zealand next weekend. Chris, Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson react on-the-whistle from the Allianz Stadium, and we are also joined by England's Jamie George and Fiji boss Mick Byrne. How much have England progressed over the past twelve months, and what areas will they need to improve on before next weekend? And who has presented Steve Borthwick with a selection dilemma? We also discuss Scotland's heartbreaking defeat by the All Blacks and ask what lessons Gregor Townend's side can take going forward.

This week we look at Home, Heretics and Hate Speech - including Canadian government minister defines Bible as hatespeech;  Sudan; Anti-semitism in Melbourne and London; The Dutch election; Free Speech in France; The BBC edits Trump speech;  Fiji and Samoa celebrate Christ after rugby match;  country of the week - Germany;  the most infectious German song ever!;  Prunella Scales; The Queering of Jesus; Shape Singing in the US; Joe Rogan sticks with Jesus; and the Last Word - John 4:12  with music from RunRig, Jimi Hendrix; Plastic Betrand; Mountain Crew; Bach; 600 Shape Singers; and Matt Redman. 

Genk heeft donderdagavond een knappe zege geboekt op het veld van het Portugese Braga. De Limburgers wonnen met 3-4 bij de leider in de Europa League, met dank aan een sterke Daan Heymans. Gouden punten ook voor de Europese coëfficiënt, waarbij de Belgische teams moeten blijven hopen dat de Portugese en Nederlandse clubs steken laten vallen.Bij Ajax heeft de vierde opeenvolgende nederlaag in de Champions League de kop gekost van trainer John Heitinga. De crisis bij de Nederlandse topclub is compleet, want ook in de bestuurskamer blijft het rommelen.Op het WKU17 deden de jonge Rode Duivels wat ze moesten doen door Fiji te verpletteren met 0-7. Bij de A-ploeg zijn Romeo Vermant en Nathan Ngoy de nieuwkomers in de selectie van bondscoach Rudi Garcia. Zij zouden tegen Kazachstan en Liechtenstein hun debuut kunnen maken voor onze nationale ploeg.

This podcast description was blatantly written by AI... In this episode of the Clint Meghan Dan Podcast, the team kicks off with a playful warning to listeners. The morning includes giving away Rhythm and Vines tickets to every caller, discussing new music from Kelly Holiday and Joji, and celebrating the release of the new Sam Cullen Band album, featuring tracks like 'Somebody's You' and 'Lone Rider'. There's hilarious awkwardness as Dan attempts to convince a supporter of the All Blacks to cheer for Scotland. They also have heartwarming moments, like a solo mom winning a trip to Fiji and an 'inactive' rugby star's brief cameo on a call. Tune in for all this and more, including fun banter, new music, and some unexpected surprises! 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Kickoff03:21 Listener Interactions and Fun Conversations13:03 Scandal Segment and Entertaining Stories29:29 Weekly Highlights and Producer Diary34:22 Calling Scotland for All Blacks Support38:44 Wicked Part Two Excitement42:35 Unlikely Friendships and Heartwarming Stories46:40 The Edge One KZ Money Challenge48:37 Izzy Dagg: Supporting Scotland..?53:44 R&V Ticket Blitz01:04:46 New Music Friday and The Sam Cullen Band01:07:56 Fiji Trip Giveaway and Wrapping Up

RNZ Pacific Editor Koroi Hawkins on the COP30 climate summit and the measles situation in Fiji. 

Anthony Watson joins Ben Youngs and Dan Cole to preview a mouthwatering weekend of Autumn Nations Series rugby. It's the battle of the hemispheres as Six Nations champions France host Rugby Championship victors South Africa; England aim to avenge their 2023 home defeat against Fiji; and Ben's got a punchy prediction as Scotland aim to make history and beat New Zealand.

In this week's episode of the Rugby Paper Roundup... Assistant Editor Ben Jaycock is joined by former Fiji international Nemani Nadolo as Steve Borthwick's men prepare to take on the Flying Fijians at Twickenham on November 8. The boys preview the match and talk all things Fiji, as well as some interesting stories from Nemani's playing career, which included stints at Leicester Tigers, Montpellier and NEC Green Rockets!

Club Brugge speelde gisteren 3-3 gelijk tegen Barcelona. Een knap resultaat, al zullen ze bij Club Brugge toch het gevoel hebben dat er meer inzat. Vooral de afgekeurde 4-3 van Romeo Vermant laat een bittere nasmaak achter. Koen is de naïeve tactiek van zijn favoriete ploeg wel stilaan kotsbeu. Op de andere velden zagen we Charles De Ketelaere een strafschop missen, Jeremy Doku als vanouds een tegenstander voorbijsnellen en Romeo Lavia helaas opnieuw geblesseerd uitvallen.Verder bespraken we nog de kansen van Genk in Braga, de nakende monsterzege van de Belgische U17 tegen Fiji en het nieuwe shirt van de Rode Duivels.

Join Alex Payne, Mike Tindall, James Haskell, and Ben Kayser as they look back on England's win over Australia and discuss Henry Pollock's unbelievable luck... and genius! The team gets fired up over the "orgasmic" success of Borthwick's Borthball tactics. Plus, they preview the massive France vs. Springboks "Payback" rematch, with Ben Kayser revealing the trauma still gripping the French following RWC 2023. Season 6 is Sponsored by Continental Tyres 00:00

We blikken vooruit naar Atletico Madrid - Union SG. Kan onze landskampioen een vuist maken tegen de troepen van Diego Simeone of worden ze net als Eintracht Frankfurt platgewalst in de Spaanse hoofdstad? Van de ene Belgisch-Spaanse clash naar de andere. FC Barcelona strijkt vandaag neer in Oostkamp voor de wedstrijd tegen Club Brugge woensdag, en dat gaat gepaard met heel wat veiligheidsmaatregelen. Handtekeningen jagen van Lamine Yamal of Pedri zal er dus niet inzitten voor de Oostkampenaren. Onze Rode Duivels U17 begonnen met een valse noot aan het WK in Qatar. Ze gaven een 1-2-voorsprong nog uit handen en verloren uiteindelijk met 3-2 van Argentinië. Onverdiend, zo vond Evert Winkelmans. Hoe het nu verder moet voor de jonge Rode Duivels? Winnen met een groot verschil tegen Fiji en Tunesië is de boodschap. Afsluiten doen we met verrassend transfernieuws uit de Jupiler Pro League. Dender haalt aanvaller en Iraans international Alireza Jahanbakhsh binnen. Een broodnodige versterking voor de rode lantaarn van de Jupiler Pro League.

Alfie, Will and Owen Slot are back to review all the November internationals over the weekend and preview the upcoming round of fixtures.They are joined by double world champion Springbok, Steven Kitshoff, who looks back on that epic world cup quarter-final in 2023 between France and South Africa and looks ahead to the sides meeting again in Paris on Saturday. He also chats about his life threatening and career ending neck injury which forced him to retire earlier this year and his new business ventures which includes bomb squad beer, named after the famous Springbok replacements. He gives his view on England's own attempt at the bomb squad and the rise of Henry Pollock.Plus, will Scotland's autumn be defined by how they get on against New Zealand? Could we really see Ben Earl start at centre against Fiji? And will that clash in Paris determine who is the best side in the world? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Coming up in Tagata o te Moana this week: A recent report finds Pacific countries are at risk of becoming "narco-states". Health experts warn Fiji's HIV crisis could spread across the Pacific.

For the second time this season, it's time to drop those Buffs®! Jeff is once again joined by Jeremy and Jay to discuss the latest episode of Survivor 49, beginning with the second tribe swap, and how immediately following that moment, Kristina fell to her knees and medical rushed in. Jeff explains why this situation is very different than what happened previously this season with Jake. Jeff then takes Jeremy and Jay through a birds-eye view of the Survivor base camp, including the full extent of the Survivor medical team, and explains what exactly is going on as the season is close to reaching its midpoint. Next, we saw a brand new reward challenge. Jeff details how the challenge team must prep months in advance to work new challenges into the rotation, but why ultimately, it's a huge part of what keeps Survivor evolving. And Jeff explains how that one particular spot could very well be the hottest spot in all of Fiji. Later, Nate's world is turned upside down on his new tribe. Jeremy explains how best to start trying to find any crack in a new tribe. Plus, the return of the K.I.P and Jeremy's suggestion to old era players as to how to handle an advantage in the new era game. Finally, they answer your questions, including whether you should ever tell another tribemate if they have mud stuck on their face.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The show stumbles open to a heated discussion on Schatz's readiness to add Anika Nilles' solo works to the 911 wheel for exploration. Putting aside that she has a back catalogue that would quickly have her dominate the wheel, we explore the vein that dislodged itself from Schatz's forehead at the thought of putting a newbie on the wheel with Lersxt and Dirk. No Wheel Spin Rather than spin the wheel, we listen to a couple of album opening tracks from Anika's solo catalog - Fiji, off 2025's False Truth, and Wild Boy off her 2014 Eponymous EP.

Ambassador Cella explains the implications for jobs, local communities, and Michigan's position in the growing electric vehicle market, highlighting how policy decisions at both the state and federal level can shape the future of American manufacturing.

The Tragic Wreck of the Whaleship Oeno (1825) – Stranded and Surviving among Pacific Islanders. In 1825, the American whaleship Oeno, under Captain Samuel Riddell, wrecked on a remote Pacific coral reef between Tonga and Fiji. What began as a routine whaling voyage from Nantucket turned into a desperate struggle for survival on a small island—where only sailor William S. Cary lived to tell the harrowing tale of shipwreck, massacre, and unexpected mercy.Bounty Mutinyhttps://youtu.be/k4mrZdNWgGs?si=OnUquZ01jbENFCGEStory of La Perousehttps://youtu.be/8xwaLzcPryg?si=QnFl6b_twMZvDEzZ——MY BOOKS1 സ്വർണ്ണനഗരം തേടി: ആമസോണ്‍ കണ്ടെത്തിയ കഥ (Mathrubhumi Books)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3T5lTioEbook | https://amzn.to/44eYMqW2 മഡഗാസ്കർ (Regal Publishers)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3ZN8sr73 സിംഹത്തിന്റെ ശത്രു!: അറ്റ്ലസ് സിംഹങ്ങളുടെ കഥ!Ebook | https://amzn.to/3G8ZdLj——————————Contact meMessage : https://juliusmanuel.com/chatMail : mail@juliusmanuel.com---------------Instagramhttps://instagram.com/juliusmanuel_-------Websitehttps://juliusmanuel.com/ChannelsInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/channel/AbbAIzWxF6R6qz7O/Whatsuphttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va4U8tZInlqO0BLvpg2V

A view Australia's recent military alliance with Papua New Guinea could be the springboard for a wider 'Pacific Eyes' alliance. Australian think-tank Lowy Institute's proposing an intelligence sharing agreement between us, Australia, PNG and Fiji to counter China's influence in the region. It claims it'd also help tackle trans-national crime and climate-related disasters. Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp says it would be a tough deal to negotiate, but it's feasible. He says Australia's alliance is about sharing more intelligence and cooperating more, like this proposed deal. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Kiran Verma, a passionate pro wing foiler and content creator from Australia's Sunshine Coast. Joining Luc from across the globe, Kiran shares his inspiring journey into the sport at age 37, his recent switch to North gear, and the highs of pushing limits in a rapidly evolving industry. From mastering foil slides to dissecting his favorite setups, Kiran offers an honest look at what it takes to progress, the joy of community connections, and the transformative power of foiling at any age.Journey into Foiling: Kiran reflects on starting wing foiling later in life, now at 41, and how it changed everything—from traveling to places like Cape Verde, Fiji, Mauritius, Brazil, and Chile, to embracing rejection and training harder. He emphasizes the mental freedom of pursuing passion without caring about judgments, and how foiling has brought happiness despite life's demands.Switching to North Gear: Kiran details his transition to North after positive experiences with their foils, highlighting the SF-530 for tight turns and the SF-680 for versatile light-wind performance. He praises the brand's receptiveness, community support (like backing Max Robinson and We Can Foil), and gear like the 55L Swell board, while sharing how video analysis helped refine his riding.Gear Breakdown and Tips: Diving into his go-to setup—a 680 front wing, 145 stabilizer, 60cm fuse, and 85cm mast—Kiran explains why he sticks to minimal changes for consistency. He discusses foil slides inspired by riders like Cash Berzolla, the appeal of short boards for prone foiling, and why foiling appeals to the 40-70 age group with its technical, accessible nature.Community and Growth: The duo explores the sport's potential to go mainstream, comparing it to golf for its niche appeal and inclusivity. Kiran stresses the need for more entry-level programs to grow foiling beyond the elite, the role of small brands in innovation, and how sessions clear the mind like nothing else.Future Plans: Kiran teases upcoming trips, possibly to Morocco for right-handers or Cape Town for King of the Air, plus content on learning new tricks like one-hand grabs. He hints at deeper involvement with North's R&D and a desire to see foiling explode in popularity.Follow Kiran - https://www.instagram.com/kv_foil/

S2 | E2 — RED FLAGS ON THE HORIZON A uniform, a hangar, and a promise that sounds almost too ambitious to be true.As Sarah continues to investigate IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service and its self-described leader Admiral Peter Cowell, two retired detectives share their first-hand encounter — a meeting that left more questions than answers.
