Each Monday, Ed Butler takes you around the globe to the heart of the stories and meeting those living through them. West Africa is currently the global epicentre for illegal fishing, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation. An estimated 40% of the world's illegal industrial fishing occurs in its waters, costing the region up to 10 billion dollars a year in lost revenue, and severely depleting stocks essential for the food security and livelihoods of over 7 million people. Ed Butler has been hearing about the practice in Sierra Leone, trying to ascertain who is behind it, and finding out how much the government is doing to help.

If I wished to I could pay a visit to your city every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens, for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death.    'Now, to be exact, at 12:15 o'clock (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to  make a little proposition to the people.    Here it is: 'I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions, that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for the people. One thing is certain and that is some of those persons who do not jazz it on Tuesday night (if there be any), will get the ax. This week in Louisiana history. June 12, 1912.

This week, we explore traditional foods and identity with two amazing chefs. First, Food editor and author Monti Carlo talks about her visit home to Puerto Rico after many years away and how reconnecting with her roots shaped her approach to cooking traditional dishes, even adding her own spin, like her Bacalaíto Battered Onion Rings recipe. Monti Carlo is the Senior Food & Dining Editor at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and author of the latest book, Spanglish. Then, we get into the spicy, savory, sticky food of Laos with Saeng Douangdara. Saeng talks about his upbringing in Wisconsin, why sticky rice is a huge identifier of Laotian culture, and shares his favorite recipes, including his take on the Laab Taco. Saeng Douangdara is the author of The Lao Kitchen: Lao Flavors and Stories Told Through Family Recipes.Subscribe to @TheSplendidTable on YouTube for full podcast episodes and full-length video interviews!Broadcast dates for this episode:June 12, 2026 (originally aired)Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible.

If you have ever come back from Europe and thought, why do I feel BETTER over there, this episode is for you. Natalie and her husband Brooks just got back from one of the most incredible trips of their lives. Germany, Switzerland, Lake Como, Piedmont, Lake Lucerne, Basel and Heidelberg.

Too much tenderness can look like love and still leave an anxious dog feeling unsafe. We sit down for a real virtual coaching session with a caring owner and her five-year-old Aussie doodle, Coco, and we get honest about the empathy trap: when we absorb every feeling, avoid every discomfort, and accidentally teach our dogs that the world is unmanageable. The goal isn't to become cold. The goal is to become clear, steady, and predictable so your dog can stop making anxious decisions all day long.We walk through what's normal dog behavior versus what's actually a training gap, including the difference between true separation anxiety and “big feelings” when you come and go. Then we get practical: how to add structure with place training, how to use leash pressure fairly, how to pick a release word that removes confusion, and why accountability is often the missing ingredient for nervous dogs. If you've ever felt like your dog “doesn't care” about cues, we explain how optional rules get created and how to rebuild follow-through without becoming harsh.Food motivation and sensitive stomachs come up too, so we show how to train with play instead of treats. You'll learn how to turn “yes” into a tug reward, how to build a confident training mindset with simple markers, and how to carry that game into scary environments to build real confidence. We also touch on feeding routines, bedtime boundaries, and containment options like tethering or an X-pen as stepping-stones toward calmer nights.If you want a dog training plan that reduces anxiety through structure, routine, and confidence building, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more overwhelmed owners can find this approach.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Why Wearing Sunscreen All Day May Be Doing More Harm Than Good for Women Over 40 In this thought-provoking episode, Angela Foster sits down with renowned beauty expert and author Liz Earle MBE to challenge conventional wisdom about sunscreen and sun exposure. Liz discusses why current public health messaging around universal, all-day SPF use might be too extreme, potentially robbing us of vital Vitamin D and other essential benefits of natural daylight. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people assume they still get Vitamin D while wearing sunscreen. However, Liz points out that this only happens because most people apply it too thinly or miss spots.  Applying high SPF when it is completely unnecessary, like on a dark winter morning during an underground commute, is a sign that public health messaging has become too broad.  Our skin isn't just a physical barrier; it actively receives light and communicates with the body's immune system.  Exposing your skin to gentle, early-morning sunlight (when the UV index is low) acclimatizes it.  Medical professionals and researchers are beginning to speak out against extreme sun avoidance.  BEST MOMENTS "When people say, 'Yes, you get Vitamin D from the sun when you're using sunscreen,' yeah, because you're not using your sunscreen properly. You're actually allowing some of that UVB to come through the skin." "The worst thing that we can do is stay indoors all year and then rush out for our two-week summer beach holiday and fry ourselves on the beach... That's because our skin has not got used to the sunlight." "The skin is actually an organ of light reception. This is what we're just beginning to understand, that the skin has light receptors on it for reasons—they're signaling, it's not just blocking and keeping our insides intact." "I don't know if you take collagen supplements, I do, but actually by going out in early morning light, I'm telling my body to make more collagen. So it's preparing the skin." "He says that he thinks that we will look back at this time and our lack of sun exposure as being as damaging to our health as smoking."

The final hour of the Fan After Dark from Thursday June 11th.

Dave Balfe was a key player in late ‘70s Liverpool, joined Big In Japan and the Teardrop Explodes, co-founded Zoo Records and, later, Food who signed and launched Blur. It's fascinating to hear how he's adapted to promoting music now with his new band Late Transmissions. We talk to him here about the landmarks moments that mapped out his life, among them … … growing up in the Wirral and its patchouli-scented record shops … seeing Wings and Bowie's Ziggy Stardust tour in Liverpool … how it felt to be immortalised in Blur's Country House … what he learnt making AI pop videos … when your teenage band “goes punk” … breaking and entering Rumbelows in pursuit of a synthesiser … the curious link between Blur and JD Salinger in the days “they were all Kurt Weill and discordant” … the Runaways at Erics – “I wasn't entirely there for the music” … Big In Japan with Bill Drummond, Budgie, Ian Brodie and Jayne Casey .. is AI like the arrival of synthesisers: “this is not proper music?” … “the old gag, innovation is not pastiching bands that have already been pastiched” … and Mark's interview with him 47 years ago.

In this week's solo episode, I am talking about something that affects every aspect of our lives and that sits underneath almost everything happening in the world right now:Who is controlling your attention? Whoever controls our mind controls our perception, and hence us! Wars. Politics. Food. Health. Technology. Social media. Education. Fear. Outrage.Every day we are bombarded with messages designed to influence what we think, how we feel and ultimately how we behave.The question is:Are you consciously choosing what shapes your mind... or is someone else doing it for you?————————————————In this episode I share a collection of powerful memes and observations that explore:✔ Mind control & human behaviour✔ Why repetition programs the subconscious✔ The relationship between health and awareness✔ Government, media and perception✔ Why asking better questions matters✔ Natural health, herbs and self-reliance✔ The danger of outsourcing critical thinking✔ Why responsibility is where freedom beginsOnce you see the game, you can stop playing by rules you never agreed to. We can use one of the main mind control techniques for good instead of bad: repetition! As I often say: "If you don't control your mind, someone else will. Control your mind. Control your life."Let me know in the comments: What belief have you changed your mind about in the last five years?————————————————Work with MeIf you'd like deeper support for yourself or the animals in your care, explore Catherine's consultations and courses here:

It's a biologically active organ, and the deep visceral fat around your organs sends inflammatory signals straight to your brain. Those signals shape your cravings, your mood, your memory, and your ability to feel full. One 2024 study found that people in their 20s and 30s with high visceral fat had nearly six times the risk of brain shrinkage. The late-night food noise and the willpower that keeps failing you aren't a character flaw. They're a broken biological signal. The good news: a 2026 study from Professor Iris Shai's team and Harvard showed that when people lost visceral fat and kept it off, brain shrinkage slowed and memory held strong into their 60s. This reverses. Key takeaways: Fat tissue is an endocrine organ, in the same category as your thyroid and adrenals Visceral fat, not the fat you can pinch, is the metabolically dangerous kind Leptin resistance is involved in roughly 90 percent of obesity cases, so it's a signaling problem, not a willpower problem Food noise is neurological: obesity lights up the same brain reward center as drug addiction Visceral fat is linked to depression and anxiety, independent of overall body weight Losing deep abdominal fat specifically, not just pounds, protects the brain, even against the APOE Alzheimer's gene 30 grams of protein per meal triggers your body's own GLP-1 and quiets cravings for free Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeanie Tietjen unpacks trauma-informed practices in higher ed and why naming itself is a form of teaching on episode 626 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming. -Jeanie Tietjen There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning. -Jeanie Tietjen Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place. -Jeanie Tietjen Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people. -Jeanie Tietjen Resources Naming the Urgency: The Importance of Trauma-Informed Practices in Community Colleges, by Jeanie Tietjen (chapter) Trauma Informed Pedagogies: A Guide for Responding to Crisis and Inequality in Higher Education, edited by Phyllis Thompson and Janice Carello The Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education Supporting the Whole Student: Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) What Happened to You?

Roger Beaudoin is a restaurant entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of Restaurant Rockstars. After building, scaling, and selling multiple successful restaurants, Roger now helps hospitality operators increase profits, improve operations, and build stronger teams. In this episode, Roger shares the lessons he learned from launching a restaurant with no prior experience, overcoming major setbacks, and applying business systems to an industry where many owners struggle to work on the business instead of in it. On this episode we talk about: Roger's first entrepreneurial ventures, from beachside lemonade sales to campus businesses How he launched a restaurant despite having no restaurant ownership experience The costly $40,000 lesson that nearly derailed his first restaurant before it opened The systems and marketing strategies that helped build a highly profitable restaurant business Why most restaurant owners are running restaurants instead of running businesses Building Restaurant Rockstars and helping operators uncover hidden profits How podcasting has become a platform for teaching and connecting with industry leaders Roger's passion for classic cars and the story behind his Classic Car Guy Podcast Top 3 Takeaways Business systems matter more than industry experience. Roger's MBA background and focus on operations, marketing, and profitability helped him succeed despite never owning a restaurant before. Unique customer experiences create competitive advantages. Memorable branding, exceptional hospitality, and creative marketing can turn customers into loyal advocates. Entrepreneurs must learn to trust their instincts while staying resilient. Roger overcame a devastating $40,000 scam early in his journey and still built a thriving business. Notable Quotes “The main reason many operators struggle is they're trying to run a restaurant, not a business.” “Food is expected. Service has to be extraordinary.” “Anything you can do that's unique, different, or special gives you an advantage over the competition.” Connect with Roger Beaudoin: Website: https://rogerbeaudoin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/restaurantrockstars/ Email: roger@restaurantrockstars.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Japanese America! In this episode, hosts Koji Steven Sakai and Michelle Malizaki take the podcast on location to Second Street in the heart of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, to record inside a true culinary and cultural landmark: Kouraku. Originally opened in 1976, Kouraku was recently honored by the City of Los Angeles with an official street sign certifying it as America's oldest operating ramen shop. To celebrate this incredible 50-year milestone, Koji and Michelle sit down with the restaurant's new owner, Mamoru Tokuda-san, who stepped in to take over the reins in January 2023. Mamoru-san shares the deeply moving story of how he transitioned from a restaurant career to volunteering at Kouraku during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually stepping up to preserve the space after the tragic passing of the previous owner, Hiroshi Yamauchi. We also look at the historical roots of Showa-era machi-chuka (Japanese-Chinese comfort food) and why its gentle, balanced flavors have sustained families across four generations. Note: For this episode, Koji reads the English translations of the interview so everyone can follow along with the history. However, we will also be releasing a separate, uncut companion episode featuring Mamoru-san's interview entirely in his own words in Japanese. In this episode, we discuss:The Magic of Showa-Era Nostalgia: Michelle explains why old-school Showa-era aesthetic is suddenly "cool" again and how Kouraku's vintage vibe instantly transports her back to her childhood in Japan. Preserving a 50-Year Legacy: How Mamoru-san balanced the pressure of taking over a historic business with the inspiration he drew from Kouraku's long-term staff—many of whom have dedicated 20 to 30 years to the kitchen. The Science of Machi-Chuka Flavors: The culinary reason Kouraku's stock is kept balanced and gentle, utilizing a chashu-infused soy sauce base rather than the overwhelming flavors of modern specialty shops. High-Tech Meets History: The introduction of Luna-chan, Kouraku's famous cat-themed delivery robot, and how it coexists with an irreplaceable, historic 1980s neon signboard that modern makers can no longer replicate. Food as a Cultural Time Machine: Koji and Michelle share their ultimate childhood comfort foods. Michelle reflects on making homemade gyoza with her mother, while Koji opens up about his lifelong obsession with curry rice, sharing a poignant memory of how his father's experiences in the WWII incarceration camps shaped his relationship with the dish. Links & Resources Mentioned:Visit the Restaurant: Kouraku, Little Tokyo (Los Angeles, CA) Learn more about Japanese American history: janm.orgSupport the show
