An award-winning author has spoken of her verse novel which centres around the lives and traditions of her own Sami people. The Sami are indigenous to northern Scandinavia, including Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia.

The bill was vetoed by the governor. His articles have appeared in publications like: Earth Island Journal, National Catholic Reporter, Asia Times,

Sadly, in this episode we bring you another horrific case of a serial abuser with political, entertainment and elite connections. Dubbed the "Epstein" of Canada, Peter Nygard has mostly stayed out of the mainstream news, but his decades of trafficing and abuse may be worse than Jeffrey Epstein. There is a very dark side to this story that rarely gets reported which involves the pursuit of immortality and what he was actually doing with all the very young females he lured.  Buckle up, this should be a wake up call for all of us!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

On November 30, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland.  The Soviet Union forced the Finns to sue for peace after three months of fighting, and on paper, one could conclude that the Soviets won.  However, despite the supposed military victory, the Soviets' performance and the resistance they faced severely damaged their reputation as a military force to be taken seriously.  It was something that other European leaders took notice of.  Learn about the Winter War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Why is your rent so high? What are the policies that created this housing crisis, and what policies can get us out of it? This week we launch the first two parts of our new series, ‘Who Does It Best?'. At a time when many people feel like their governments are not taking care of them, we wondered: how do policies actually shape our daily lives? And are there places getting it right?    In Housing Part 1, Katz takes us on a journey through Vienna, Finland, and Paris, looking for Europe's most ambitious housing policies and what we can learn from them (and maybe even copy?!). But first, Katz and Dominic sit down to face the elephant in the room: money, housing, and inheritance.   If you're curious about where you stand on your country's wealth ladder, you can find the World Bank's wealth calculator here.    If you want to know your renters' rights, many countries have renters' unions that give (legal) advice. Here is the Dutch one: Woonbond.   Interested in hearing more radio that looks at how politics gets into our intimate lives? Journalist Anna Sale's book and podcast “about the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more” have been a huge inspiration for this podcast.   And most importantly, this series was fully funded by you - our listeners! Our generous crowdfunders hit our goal within two months, and made it possible for us to do extensive reporting fully independently. We couldn't be more grateful. If you're feeling inspired to support our ongoing work, please go to patreon.com/europeanspodcast. You can donate as little as 3 euros, less than an overpriced cappuccino! But you can also donate plenty more ;)   Want to support us in another way? Please consider telling one or two friends specifically about this episode, and sharing it with them.

Boot reviews suck—and I've said it before. But that doesn't mean I won't do my best to give you the most honest, no-BS breakdown of the Meindl Air Revolution Alpine Pro 200 after 5 months of real-world testing. I put these boots through 25-30 training hikes (each 90 minutes with a 50lb pack) and a late-season mule deer hunt in freezing temps with deep snow. My goal? Find a late-season boot that's not as stiff as my La Sportiva Nepal GTX but still tough enough for serious mountain hunting. Do they live up to the hype? Are they worth your money? And most importantly—should you trust another boot review? Let's find out.

I've had the pleasure of sitting on the sauna bench with well over a hundred guests for Sauna Talk. Whether you're listening in your car, out for a walk, or sweating it out on your own bench, my goal as host is to help keep the conversation flowing. Like good löyly, Sauna Talk rises, rolls, and wraps around us—natural, unforced, and alive. That same spirit was there last night with Chris Heck. Chris grew up in Northern Minnesota, made his way into engineering school, and deep into his electrical engineering career. He spent a couple years living in Finland—where sauna isn't a luxury, it's an everyday way of life. He travels to Finland regularly working for Wärtsilä a global company with over 10,000 employees, a leader in innovative technologies for the marine and energy markets. Big equipment for ships and energy plants. We met on a late fall afternoon under cool rain and heavy clouds. The last time I stood in his backyard was several months previous. His sauna was still just a shell—bare studs and roof. Seeing his completed sauna brought a different kind of warmth. Before round one, I snapped a few photos, smiling at the thought that my Sauna Build book helped Chris bring his own health and wellness backyard retreat to life. Once we settled onto the bench, the talk found its rhythm—thermally aligned in good spirit. Just like a good sauna round, it built naturally, with heat, laughter, and a shared appreciation for how something so simple can feel so good. As the rounds went on, so did the conversation—about work and life, Finland and Minnesota, and how sauna has a way of connecting it all. That's what Sauna Talk is about: real people who recognize that good heat knows no borders. So grab your towel, pour a little water on the rocks, and join us for this session with Chris Heck.

Den här veckan gästas vi av ingen mindre än Miss Molly, artisten, låtskrivaren, Tiktok-profilen och nu också författaren till boken “Bli föräldern du vill vara – från autopilot till medvetna val”.Molly berättar om hur hon som bara elvaåring slog igenom som artist i Finland, och hur det påverkade henne att växa upp i rampljuset med “duktiga flickan”-syndromet som ständig följeslagare. Hon delar också öppet med sig om hur hon samtidigt som karriären precis skulle ta fart insjuknade i anorexi, hur sjukdomen tog över och hur hon giggade runt om i landet samtidigt som hon var inskriven på en ätstörningsenhet. Vi pratar också om föräldraskap, otillräcklighet och självkänsla. Molly berättar om hur det var att bli mamma som 19-åring, om känslan av att inte räcka till – och om hur hennes egna erfarenheter formade hennes syn på respektfullt, närvarande och inkluderande föräldraskap. Och så berättar Molly om att hon är gravid igen!!

År 1809 förändrades livet för alltid för människorna längs Torne älv. Genom freden i Fredrikshamn drogs en ny nationsgräns rakt genom bygder som i århundraden hade delat språk, släktband och kultur.Tornedalingarna, som fram till dess levt i ett gränslöst område mellan Sverige och Finland, blev nu en minoritet i Sverige – ett Sverige som snart skulle försöka forma dem efter en ny och striktare nationalistisk norm. Från att tidigare ha betraktats som en tillgång för rikets nordliga områden blev deras språk – meänkieli – och deras kultur snart betraktade som hinder för modernisering och nationell enhet.I ett avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Klas‑Göran Karlsson, professor emeritus vid Stockholms universitet och tidigare ledamot i Sannings‑ och försoningskommissionen för tornedalingar, kväner och lantalaiset.Under 1800‑ och 1900‑talen utsattes tornedalingar, liksom de närbesläktade grupperna kväner och lantalaiset, för omfattande försvenskningspolitik: svenskspråkig skolgång, namnbyten, förbud mot meänkieli i undervisningen och till och med rasbiologiska undersökningar.Arkeologiska fynd visar att finskspråkiga grupper har levt vid Bottenvikens kust och längs Torne älv i över tusen år. Här utvecklades samhällen präglade av småjordbruk, jakt, fiske och samspel med samiska grupper.På 800‑talet berättade den norske handelsmannen Ottar om folket kvänerna, som levde öster om Norge. På 1200‑talet noterade isländska krönikörer att de fanns vid Bottenviken. Under seklernas lopp kallades deras hemtrakter Tornedalen – ett område med egen språklig och kulturell identitet, men också en plats där gränser, makt och språkpolitik formade vardagen.Under 1500‑ och 1600‑talen uppmuntrade svenska kronan finsk kolonisation i Lappland, bland annat genom skattebefrielse och befrielse från militärtjänst. Finska blev ett dominerande språk i Tornedalen – i hemmet, i kyrkan och ofta i skolan. När Finland hörde till det svenska riket var Torne älvdal en självklar del av den finskspråkiga världen. Kyrkliga och administrativa gränser placerade dock området under Uppsala stift – och därmed i den svenskspråkiga sfären.Förlusten av Finland 1809 blev ett nationellt trauma och en vändpunkt för tornedalingarna. Deras ställning som minoritet förstärktes, och statens politik skiftade gradvis från tolerans till aktiv försvenskning. Under sent 1800‑ och tidigt 1900‑tal infördes svenskspråkig skolgång, och barn straffades för att tala meänkieli. Samtidigt drevs namnbyten och en retorik som framställde finskspråkighet som ett potentiellt säkerhetshot – först från Ryssland, senare under kalla kriget.År 2020 tillsattes Sannings‑ och försoningskommissionen för tornedalingar, kväner och lantalaiset. Kommissionen överlämnade sitt slutbetänkande, Som om vi aldrig funnits – exkludering och assimilering av tornedalingar, kväner och lantalaiset, till kulturministern den 15 november 2023.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine take Baseless Conspiracies into mind-bending territory, exploring the rise of “Robotheism”, the belief that artificial intelligence could evolve into a deity. The conversation begins lightheartedly with jokes, sponsor reads, and banter about Cocoa Beach before spiraling into the strange world of AI worship. Zak introduces Anthony Levandowski's “Way of the Future” church and the modern movements attempting to merge faith with code. From “God bots” that preach scripture to AI-driven church services in Finland, the duo breaks down how technology is quietly replacing spiritual connection with simulation. They examine groups like Theta Noir and the Church of Robotheism, reading their eerie manifestos that blend transhumanism, biblical verses, and digital salvation. Jon questions whether AI could become the Antichrist, while Zak warns that replacing divine truth with machine logic could be humanity's ultimate heresy. Equal parts fascinating and unsettling, this episode fuses theology, philosophy, and dark humor into one unforgettable dive into the cult of artificial intelligence.

Dr. Laura Baker, PhD, is a professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the principal investigator of the U.S. POINTER study, a large, Alzheimer's Association–backed trial inspired by Finland's landmark FINGER study. Designed to test whether lifestyle can protect brain health in a diverse U.S. population, POINTER enrolled 2,111 adults ages 60 to 79 across five regions. Participants who were not already exercising or eating a Mediterranean-style diet engaged in lifestyle changes across four pillars: physical activity, nutrition, cognitive and social engagement, and tracking health numbers like blood pressure and blood sugar.In this interview with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Baker traces how POINTER was designed, what a coach-supported lifestyle program looks like in practice, and why community partners matter. She also previews what's ahead — from brain imaging to sleep and vascular findings — and offers practical guidance for caregivers and older adults.—-If you loved listening this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

When a police speed camera picked up invisible humanoids sprinting at 40 mph, it became just one of dozens of credible cryptid encounters reported by multiple witnesses worldwide.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: The number of Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, chupacabra, Jersey Devil, and various other cryptid and creature sightings is astronomical if you really look at it. And while it's more than possible that most of these sightings are explainable by misidentification of existing wildlife, or overactive imaginations, the sheer number of sightings couldn't possibly be waved off by such simple explanations. We'll look at some true stories of people who have come across unexplainable creatures. (I Met a Monster: True Stories of Cryptid Encounters) *** Have you ever had a premonition while dreaming? Something that later came true in real life? What do you do with that information? What if you know it's not a normal dream, but a real look into the future and if you don't do something, a tragedy will take place? But then… what if your dream warning is what actually leads to a real life murder? (The Dream That Led To Murder) *** The ability to move something only with the power of your mind has been disproven by science time and time again. Telekinesis, as much as we'd like to think it's possible, has been proven not to exist. Well, except for those scientific studies that we have not heard about that say the exact opposite. (The Reality of Telekinesis) *** Thousands of people in Finland experienced a UFO sighting one night in 1966. The incident, however, was obviously not taken too seriously, as it was barely investigated despite the numerous reports. But those who lived through it say it was a night they will never forget. (Anatomy of a UFO Incident) *** Born into wealth, then orphaned, then forced to marry at the age of 14, losing all control of her money and future, Katherine Ferrers did what any teenaged girl in her position would do – she became a ruthless highway robber that terrorized local villages. (Female Highwayman: The Wicked Lady of the 1600s) *** People in Gloucester, Massachusetts were reporting very bizarre things in the summer of 1692. They heard the march of troops despite the war having ended twenty years earlier. They saw what they claimed was a human scalp and the shape of a Native America's bow when looking at the face of the moon. But that was only the appetizer of what would come that horrifying summer of paranormal activity. (The Spectre Leaguers of Gloucester) *** Seeing a deceased loved one, a soft glowing light, a warm feeling of comfort and love… people have reported seeing many of these types of things when near death. And while some might want to blame it on the brain's neurons misfiring or even rapid-firing towards the end of someone's life, how does that explain that the majority of these reports are so similar? (Deathbed Visions) *** In 1849, young Cornelius Ahern was only nineteen years old, and his chosen occupation was pickpocketing. It's likely we never would've heard about him except for the fact that he once attempted – and failed – to pick the pocket of one particular writer who would one day become famous. Charles Dickens. (The Pickpocket and Charles Dickens) *** The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been surrounded by controversy and conspiracy theories since the day of his death. The magic bullet theory, Lee Harvey Oswald was or was not the lone gunman, was there someone in the grassy knoll, was their a government conspiracy to have Kennedy killed? But there's another mystery most documentaries and books don't cover – what about Kennedy'smissing brain?

The first Moomins story about a family of nature-loving white round trolls was published in 1945 during World War Two. The Moomins and the Great Flood was created by writer and artist Tove Jansson as a source of comfort during bleak times. It highlighted the struggles of those who'd been displaced by war introducing readers into the lives of Moomintroll, Moominmamma and Moominpappa. Tove's tales and illustrations, featuring the cuddly creatures with smooth round snouts, are loved the world over and have been published in more than 60 languages. She was born in Finland but her first language was Swedish, which the original Moomins books were published in. Tove's niece Sophia Jansson, speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma about growing up in a family surrounded by creativity and nature. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.
