The use of saunas is exploding in popularity in the US, but they've been a standard part of life in other parts of the world. Finland is the best example, with more than one sauna for every 2 people! What is it about the health, wellbeing and high performance benefits that are driving such engagement? Is it a fad? Or is the trend driven by dependable evidence? What frequency, duration and temperature are recommended for better health & wellbeing? How about for athletic performance? What's the difference between infrared and traditional saunas? Today's guest, Dr. Daniel Gagnon is a thermal physiologist who has been studying the effects of heat exposure on human health & performance for over 2 decades! He is an associate professor at the University of Montreal and researcher at the Montreal Health Institute. If you've been curious about what the evidence is saying about saunas, you've come to the right place.Here are the two studies Dr. Gagnon mentioned during the discussion: Meta-analysis 1Meta-analysis 2Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Kelly Cagle, educational researcher, former teacher, and host of the Parenting IQ Podcast, for a practical, hopeful conversation about what kids actually need to thrive in today's school-and-screen-saturated world. Kelly shares her story of moving from Brazil to the U.S. at age 11, learning English through sheer curiosity (and PBS's Arthur), and being pushed ahead through school, an experience that made her question how quickly we rush children through development. Together, they zoom out to look at what other countries do differently (including Finland's later start and play-based early years), why the American system often rewards compliance over growth, and how that pressure can hit certain kids, especially those with ADHD, extra hard. You'll also get immediately usable ideas for supporting ADHD at school and at home without turning your child into a “problem to manage.” Kelly explains why small accommodations can be game-changing (gum or mints for sensory input, permission to stand or pace, movement breaks, flexible seating), and why partnering with teachers matters more than picking the “perfect” school. The heart of this episode is Kelly's grounded message: real school success starts at home, and “less is more” isn't a vibe, it's a strategy. If you're trying to un-bubble-wrap your kids, rebuild healthy rhythms, and raise children with self-control, perseverance, and a sense of belonging, this conversation will leave you encouraged and equipped.

Miss Finland 2025 has been stripped of her title after a photo was posted of her pulling her eyes and smiling with the caption “Eating with a Chinese." But the controversy grew even bigger when several members of the Finnish Parliament recreated their own, exceptionally racist photos and posted them online in solidarity with Miss Finland. The Prime Minister has apologized to Asian nations, but now there is talk of a tourism boycott and an even larger conversation about racism in this world.

Hvert år den 24. december kl. 12 udlyses julefreden fra byen Turku i Finland - en tradition, der kan spores tilbage til 1300-tallet. Om det var denne udlysning af en julefredsånd, der nåede skyttegravene i Normandiet i 1914, vides ikke, men et faktum er det, at de stridende parter julenat spontant nedlagde våbnene og mødtes til en fælles skål i det udbombede ingenmandsland. Året efter gentog man begivenheden og tilføjede en fodboldkamp. Hvis det var udlysningen af julefreden, der skabte de spontane våbenhviler for mere end hundrede år siden, kan man håbe, at denne fredsånd igen vil gøre sin virkning og bringe fred til Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan og alle andre steder, der er mærket af krig og ufred. I den anledning er det måske værd at reflektere over, hvad fred overhovedet vil sige. Hvordan opstår fred, og hvordan fastholdes den? Er fred blot et fravær af den vold og dramatik, som krigen består af, eller har freden sin egen logik, handlinger og begivenheder, som vi let kan overse, fordi de ikke i dramatik kan måle sig med krigens massakrer, heltedåd og historiske vendepunkter? Udsyn spørger i dag Isabel Bramsen, leder af freds- og konfliktstudier ved Lunds Universitet, hvordan vi kan nærme os freden i en verden i brand. Vært: Kaspar Colling Nielsen.

SHOW 12-18-25 THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE POTUS AT YEAR'S END... 1951 BALD EAGLE ALASKA CRUNCH EU SUMMIT DISCUSSES USING FROZEN RUSSIAN ASSETS FOR UKRAINE Colleague Anatol Lieven. The European Union is internally divided over seizing frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine's war effort and reconstruction, a move requiring rule changes that some members resist. While the US proposes using these funds for post-war rebuilding, current plans risk spending the capital on immediate warfare, potentially undermining international financial trust. NUMBER 1 NATO AND EU SEEK DEFENSE FUNDS AMID FEARS OF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION Colleague Anatol Lieven. European nations like Finland are demanding funds to counter perceived Russian threats, despite a lack of historical aggression toward them. Lieven argues that plans to spend billions on tanks are misguided, as the Ukraine war demonstrates that expensive armor is easily destroyed by cheaper drones and defensive lines. NUMBER 2 CALIFORNIA JOB LOSSES AND CHINA'S ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN AMID RETAIL SEASON Colleague Chris Riegel. California's new wage mandates have triggered significant job losses in the fast-food sector, forcing operators to move to lower-tax states. Internationally, while China boasts of leads in AI and EVs, these sectors rely on unsustainable subsidies, masking a deep consumer recession and deflation in the property market. NUMBER 3 SPAIN'S GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS TIES WITH VENEZUELA DESPITE OPPOSITION Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady. The Spanish government under Pedro Sanchez maintains ideological and economic alliances with the Maduro regime, prioritizing political agendas over democratic ideals. Opposition figure Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo accuses former Prime Minister Zapatero of acting as an international agent for Maduro, facilitating the dictatorship's survival despite mass migration. NUMBER 4 CHINA'S SURREPTITIOUS SUPPORT KEEPS THE MADURO REGIME AFLOAT Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. China sustains the Maduro regime through loans, surveillance technology, and military equipment while bypassing sanctions to import Venezuelan oil. The state oil company, PDVSA, collapsed due to the purging of technical experts and lack of investment, forcing Venezuela to rely on Iranian engineers to maintain minimal production. NUMBER 5 VENEZUELA'S TRAGIC DECLINE FROM PROSPERITY TO AUTHORITARIANISM Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. Historical imagery reveals Venezuela's transformation from a prosperous, modern nation in the 1950s to a ruined state today. Deep inequality and corruption in the pre-Chavez era alienated the poor, allowing Hugo Chavez to capitalize on their frustration and dismantle the free market system, leading to the current crisis. NUMBER 6 ELECTIONS IN CHILE, PERU, AND HONDURAS SIGNAL REGIONAL SHIFTS Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. In Chile, José Antonio Kast's rise reflects a rejection of progressive policies and crime, favoring order and investment. Meanwhile, Peru faces political fragmentation and violence, Honduras struggles with electoral disputes, and Costa Rica appears poised to elect a pro-US candidate who aims to limit Chinese influence. NUMBER 7 ARGENTINA'S CREDIT RATING RISES AS BRAZIL FACES POLITICAL POLARIZATION Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. S&P upgraded Argentina's credit rating following Javier Milei's austerity measures, which have stabilized the currency and reduced inflation despite social costs. In Brazil, the reduction of Jair Bolsonaro's prison sentence and his son Flavio's candidacy signal a continued, polarized struggle against Lula da Silva's agenda for the 2026 election. NUMBER 8 ROMAN KINGSHIP: FROM CITIZEN SELECTION TO THE IDEAL OF SERVICE Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Early Roman kings were selected by citizens based on merit rather than heredity, but figures like Servius Tullius began bypassing this consent. Conversely, Cincinnatus exemplifies the Roman ideal of service; he accepted absolute dictatorial power to save the state during a crisis, then immediately resigned to return to his farm. NUMBER 9 APPIUS CLAUDIUS CAECUS: INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLITICAL GENIUS Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Appius Claudius Caecus transformed the Roman censorship office into a power base by building the Appian Way and appointing wealthy Italians to the Senate. As a blind elder statesman, he shamed the Senate into rejecting peace with Pyrrhus, insisting Rome must fight to maintain its dominance and ancestral legacy. NUMBER 10 ROME VS. CARTHAGE: DESTINY, TRAGEDY, AND THE CONSENSUS FOR WAR Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. The conflict between Rome and Carthage is symbolized by the tragedy of Dido, representing the incompatibility of their powers. Despite Hannibal's devastating victories, the Roman Republic prevailed through a political system that prioritized consensus and collective sacrifice, allowing them to endure immense losses without surrendering. NUMBER 11 THE GRACCHI BROTHERS AND THE RISE OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN ROME Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. The Gracchi brothers introduced political violence to Rome, with Tiberius using populism to revive his career and Gaius acting as a true believer in reform. Their assassinations by the Senate marked a departure from peaceful republican norms, as the elite used violence to protect entrenched economic inequality. NUMBER 12 DISCOVERY OF GIANT RADIO GALAXIES AND SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES Colleague Dr. Sabayashi Pal. Astronomers have discovered 53 giant radio galaxies, some 75 times larger than the Milky Way, powered by active supermassive black holes emitting radio jets. These ancient objects offer insights into galactic evolution, contrasting sharply with the Milky Way's smaller, dormant black hole that allows life to exist safely. NUMBER 13 INVESTING IN HUMAN INTELLECT OVER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Colleague Dr. Sabayashi Pal. Given an unlimited budget, Dr. Pal would prioritize human resource development over new telescopes, proposing a space study institute in Africa to train experts. He argues that while AI is a useful tool, education is essential for humans to interpret data and appreciate the machinery rather than being replaced by it. NUMBER 14 EUROPE SCROUNGES FOR FUNDS AMID RUSSIAN ASSET DISPUTES Colleague Michael Bernstam. The UK threatens to seize proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC for Ukraine aid, while the EU struggles to finance a $135 billion shortfall for Kyiv. European leaders propose leveraging frozen Russian assets for loans, but financial markets remain skeptical of the EU's ability to guarantee such debt. NUMBER 15 CONGRESSIONAL SPENDING AND THE REVERSE MIDAS TOUCH Colleagues Dave Hebert and Peter Earle. Hebert and Earle argue that Congressional spending exacerbates problems in education and healthcare by subsidizing demand while restricting supply through regulations. They contend politicians prefer "showy" supply-side interventions, like drug busts, over effective policies because the politics of appearing effective outweigh the economics of actual affordability. NUMBER 16

Horns, Hostages, and Human Trafficking Santa – Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we go full Finland and unwrap a Christmas movie that answers the question nobody asked: what if Santa Claus wasn't a jolly gift-giver, but an ancient, horned, child-snatching nightmare buried under a mountain?Our main feature is Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (dir. Jalmari Helander), a wintery sci-fi/horror-dark-comedy that feels like The Thing wandered into a folk tale, got frostbite, and decided to start a black-market Santa operation.The setup is instantly great: a US drilling team blasts into the Korvatunturi mountain and hits something that absolutely should not be thawed. Nearby, reindeer herders start finding their animals slaughtered, children begin disappearing, and weird petty theft spreads through the village — radios, hairdryers, potato sacks… all vanishing like some grim Advent calendar of doom.At the centre is young Pietari, a kid who's convinced Santa is real… and that Santa is coming to punish him. While the adults argue about Russians, borders and compensation invoices, Pietari is reading ancient texts about a pagan “Santa” with horns, and building literal Home Alone-style defences because he thinks he's next.Then things get properly deranged: a naked, feral old man is caught in a wolf trap baited with a pig's head — and the locals start to suspect they've found Santa. Turns out they've found one of his helpers… and the rules are simple: no swearing, no aggression, no “bad behaviour”, because these elves replicate and escalate like gremlins with hypothermia. Suddenly it's old, nude men everywhere, and the film leans into it with alarming confidence.The finale goes full Goonies-in-a-blizzard: helicopters, a reindeer pen used as a trap, kids in sacks as bait, dynamite in the ice, and a plan so insane it only works because everyone is too cold to argue.And then the ending swerves again — from folk-horror survival to capitalism speedrun — as the village realises the “elves” are worth money, hoses them down, trains them up, and ships them around the world as mall Santas in crates like festive livestock. It's bizarre, dark, and very funny in a “wait… did they really just do that?” way.It's not cosy. It's not sweet. It is snowy, grim, inventive, and weirdly brilliant — with proper atmosphere, real faces, and a premise it commits to without winking at you.Strong recommend.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Gráinne is a 23-year-old Irish singer -songwriter based in Dublin. Her music offers a candid glimpse into her world, with honest lyrics that offer a look at the chaos of early adulthood. She's got a quiet confidence you find in artists who've maybe strayed away home and lived a little, and it shows on her debut single, "Twentysomething". Gráinne's journey to this moment is as unique as her sound. A native of Wexford, she spent the last four years studying music in Finland, where she started putting her thoughts and experiences to paper, writing her first original songs. She has collaborated with many talents, including songwriters and producers from Elements Music on EDM-inspired projects- some of which have been recently released. It might seem like a world away from her current sound, but those sessions were valuable-honing her songwriting skills. Now, back on home turf, Gráinne is ready to share her own story with a voice that is both vulnerable and powerful. She's not just hoping to make a mark; she's here to connect with a generation that's still figuring it all out, one song at a time. “6ftunder”is a reflection on the invisible string that connects us to the past- the habits, beliefs, and traditions passed down through generations. How much of what we do each day comes from those who came before us? How many of our ideas about what life should mean are inherited, outdated, or in some ways haunting us? Rooted partly in Ireland's rich and complicated history, yet stretching far beyond it, 6ft Under explores the pull between tradition and progress- between honouring what's been and questioning what still should be. It's a song for grey, misty days- for wandering through fields and up hills, or just down to the pub, past the old graveyard with it's ivy-covered gates.

[Recorded December 17th, 2025]:  Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to update us on the value proposition he see in 3 gold exploration stocks, based around recent press releases and milestones.   He sees this newsflow and fundamental catalysts as much more relevant for any changes to the company's valuation (either up or down), rather than the improving sentiment within the backdrop of rising underlying precious metals price environment.      The companies we discuss in this interview are:     Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) – On December 16th announced the closing of its acquisition of a 100% undivided interest in the 324 non-contiguous mining claims comprising 8,392.92 hectares in the Abbotsford and Hepburn Townships in the province of Ontario. These adjacent Abbotsford and Hepburn Projects will compliment their land concessions at their flagship Perron Gold Project in Quebec. Additionally, on December 17th, Eric Sprott announced that, 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by him, sold 14,868,200 common shares of Amex Exploration Inc., through a private agreement, at $4.00 per Share for total consideration of $59,472,800.   On the same day, Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD) (NYSE: EGO) acquired ownership of 14,868,200 common shares of Amex Exploration Inc. at a price per Share of C$4.00, for total consideration of C$59,472,800, pursuant to a private agreement with a third party (which were Eric Sprott's shares).      First Nordic Metals Corp. (TSXV: FNM) (FNSE: FNMC SDB) (OTCQX: FNMCF) and Mawson Finland Limited (TSXV: MFL) (FRA: PM6) – On Dec. 16, 2025 announced the successful closing of the previously announced acquisition by First Nordic of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mawson by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement. The Transaction consolidates a large and prospective gold development and exploration portfolio in Sweden and Finland, including First Nordic's Barsele Project, a joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and its Gold Line Belt projects in northern Sweden and Oijärvi Project in Finland, and Mawson's Rajapalot Project and surrounding Rompas-Rajapalot Property in northern Finland. In connection with the Transaction, the Company will change its name to Goldsky Resources Corp., subject to receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.     FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX) (OTCQB:FFOXF) – On December 8, 2025 reported results from an additional four holes of its 2025/26 diamond drilling program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Drill hole 25MJ005 is among the best holes yet drilled on the property, extending both shallow and deeper high-grade gold zones well to the west from previous drilling at the East Zone.    We went on to speculate on how Agnico Eagle may be willing to negotiate turning over their JV interest on  Barsele in Sweden with First Nordic, to focus on a regional consolidation in Finland of Firefox, Rupert, and Aurion into a district camp.   Agnico already has a strategic position in both Rupert and Firefox.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Welcome back to the Ties That Bind.This week, we go even further north, to Finland, one of the alliance's newest members. Like the other frontline states we've visited this season, Finland shares a turbulent and complicated history with Russia that has long molded its security and foreign policy. But unlike the other frontline states, it was not a member of NATO at the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. February 24, 2022, proved to be a lynchpin moment for how Finnish society viewed its security and its future.In this episode, we'll hear from two Finnish experts about that moment in time, both culturally and politically, about the process and challenges of Finland's NATO accession, the country's strategic role in the Arctic, and what it means for the alliance. We'll also hear about Finland's whole-of-society defense model, how the country's culture has informed its security calculus, and what other allies can learn from the Finnish experience. And we'll also discuss lessons for Finland's history for Ukraine.Featured Guests:* Minna Ålander is an Associate Fellow at Chatham House and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.* Joel Linnainmäki is a Research Fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs and a former special advisor to the former Foreign Minister, Pekka Haavisto.Listen the previous episode on Latvia here.

For review:1. President Trump Orders Blockade of Sanctioned Venezuelan Oil Tankers.2. Speaking at an annual meeting with top military officers, Russian President Putin said Moscow would prefer to achieve its goals and “eliminate the root causes of the conflict” by diplomatic means, but he added that “if the opposing side and its foreign patrons refuse to engage in substantive dialogue, Russia will achieve the liberation of its historical lands by military means.”3. Six Countries Join (Gaza) Board of Peace. The US has secured commitments from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany to have their leaders join US President Donald Trump on the Board of Peace.4. The United States Central Command hosted a conference in Qatar on Tuesday with dozens of partner nations to discuss plans for an International Stabilization Force for the Gaza Strip.Egypt, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Italy, France, the UK, and Azerbaijan were among the attendees. Other countries at the summit included Cyprus, Georgia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Jordan, Japan, Greece, Singapore, the EU, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, Morocco, Bahrain, Bosnia, Finland, Kosovo, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Spain, and Yemen.5. Senators voted 77-20 on a bipartisan basis to send this year's National Defense Authorization Act to the desk of President Donald Trump, who has indicated he will sign the bill. The 2026 NDAA authorizes $900.6 billion in defense funds, or about $8 billion more than the White House's request. 

Hvad tænker udenrigsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, der i tre år har været konfronteret med Putins krig i Ukraine, krigen i Gaza, Trumps angreb på Europa og krav på Grønland? Hvad gør udenrigsministeren med en ambitiøs dagsorden for et lille land, når de store elefanter gungrer, når den liberale orden krakelerer, institutioner bryder sammen og små nationer bliver trynet af de store? Det fortæller udenrigsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen om i Verden ifølge Gram - netop som Ukraine-forhandlingerne rammer en ny fase, hvor Trump taler om enighed, hvor EU-landene skal træffe afgørende beslutninger - og Finland advarer om, at russiske styrker vil blive opmarcheret langs grænsen til NATO, når krigen dør hen i Ukraine. Medvirkende: Lars Løkke Rasmussen, udenrigsminister. Vært: Steffen Gram.

Rubicon - Monologue about RFK and his leadership of Home Health Services

The Danes have hygge, a cultural inclination to try to make things cosy. In Finland, they have a very different cultural trait called sisu, a quiet, inner strength drawn from surviving hardship. Dr. Elisabet Lahti has spent years studying this Finnish concept, and in 2018 she put it to the test, running 2,400 kilometers across New Zealand to research sisu and promote nonviolence. She's the founder of the Sisu Lab and says anyone from any country can learn to have courage in the face of adversity.

Episode SummaryOn a warm June night in 1960, four teenagers zipped themselves into a tent on the shores of a quiet lake just outside Helsinki, Finland. By morning, three of them were dead. The fourth — battered, bloodied, and barely alive — would survive… only to be accused of the murders more than forty years later.In this episode of From The Void, we travel back to Lake Bodom, one of the most haunting and infamous unsolved murder cases in European history. What begins as a simple camping trip spirals into a decades-long mystery involving a slashed tent, missing evidence, suspicious locals, Cold War intrigue, and a trial that turned the sole survivor into the prime suspect.This isn't just a true crime story.It's a meditation on silence, memory, and the kind of violence that arrives without warning — and leaves without answers.What We Cover in This Episode

Donald Trump says Somali immigrants in the US should “go back to where they came from.” The President's comments come after allegations of large-scale fraud in Minnesota's social assistance programme, implicating several Somali immigrants. Trump has repeatedly criticised the community saying he does not want Somali immigrants in the United States and that their country is “no good for a reason.” In our conversations we bring together three Somalis who have made their homes in Minnesota. We also bring together Somalis in Finland, Canada and the UK, and we hear from people in Somalia itself. Somalia's recent history has been shaped by more than 30 years of civil war, so what is it like to live in the country today?

In 1970, two Finnish skiers paused in a quiet winter glade near Imjärvi when a buzzing sound, a descending fog-wrapped light, and a ten-foot disc-shaped craft changed their lives forever. What followed was one of the strangest UFO encounters ever recorded: a glowing three-foot imp-like being emerging from a fiery circle of light, a mist smelling of sulfur, physical paralysis, burns, illness, and years of surreal follow-up contact experiences. Zelia Edgar breaks down the full case in vivid detail, exploring the creature's folkloric features, the symbolic role of mists, lights, crossroads, and mushrooms in anomalous lore, and how the Imjärvi incident blurs the line between UFOs and ancient myth.
