Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1 Welcome to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences for world peace. Here is an FAQ about plane or train travel, Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1, and also about a health issue you don't want when you travel. Give a listen. I guide you to solo travel experiences to bring out your best. The FAQ is: If you could take a plane or a train, which would it be and why? Answer: If I have the choice between a plane and a train, Most of the time… I choose the train. Now let's be practical. If the distance is extreme — say, cross-country or intercontinental — the plane wins on efficiency. At this stage of life, I value my energy. Six hours in the air may beat twenty hours of transfers. But when are both realistic options? Train. Here's why. First, the train allows me to arrive gently. There's no stripping down at security, no liquid anxiety, no rushing to a distant gate. I walk onto the train. I keep my water. I keep my dignity. That matters. Second, the scenery. At 50+, we understand that the journey is not separate from the destination. On a train, I see villages, farmland, people waiting on platforms, laundry on balconies. I watch life unfold. A plane gives me clouds. Third, ease of movement. I can stand up. Walk. Stretch. Visit the café car. Talk to someone if I choose — or not. For solo women, that flexibility feels empowering. Fourth, arrival point. Trains typically drop you in the center of town. Planes drop you 40 minutes away, followed by taxis, shuttles, and more logistics. Simplicity wins. Now — here's where I get skeptical of my own bias. If I'm exhausted… If connections are complicated… If safety or night travel becomes a concern…Going from Oslo to Bergen this past summer, we had a 7-hour delay, stranded in Voss due to the heated tracks. That was not unusual, I later learned. Side note: I did enjoy my time in Voss and learned to slow down. If I anticipate a delay like this, I will absolutely take the plane. Comfort and safety override romance. So my answer? If time is short and distance is long,,,,, fly. If time is flexible and distance is reasonable, take the train and let the world move past your window. At this stage of life, we're not just getting somewhere. We're experiencing how we get there. And that is the difference. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today Confidence Challenge in Greece and on trains.

In this episode of the Plein Air Easton Podcast, we sit down with acclaimed painter Antwan Ramar for a conversation about the roots of his artistic journey. Antwan shares stories from his early life, reflecting on the moments and influences that first sparked his creativity and led him toward a life in art. We also dive into how he discovered plein air painting, the challenges and rewards of painting outdoors, and the way working directly from nature continues to shape his artistic voice. Along the way, Antwan talks about finding community in the plein air world, developing his style, and the lessons he's learned from painting in the field. It's an honest and inspiring look at the path that led one artist from early curiosity to a thriving career capturing the world in real time.

A Note from James:In the Blondie song “Rapture,” which was the number-one song in 1981, Debbie Harry has this famous line: “Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly.”So the question is—who is Fab Five Freddy?This guy is one of the central figures in the birth of hip-hop culture. Not just rap music, but the whole ecosystem: graffiti, breakdancing, fashion, DJ culture, art, film—everything that eventually turned into a massive global industry.Hip-hop today represents hundreds of billions of dollars in music, fashion, and entertainment. But in the late '70s and early '80s it was just a small creative movement happening in New York.Fab 5 Freddy helped connect all those worlds. He bridged graffiti artists, musicians, downtown art scenes, and eventually MTV.He also just wrote a book called Everybody's Fly, and it was a huge honor for me to talk with him about the origins of hip-hop and how creativity actually grows.Episode Description:Before hip-hop became a global industry, it was a loose network of DJs, graffiti artists, dancers, and musicians creating something entirely new in New York City.Fab 5 Freddy was at the center of it.In this conversation, he explains how hip-hop emerged from a mix of street culture, art scenes, punk music, and experimentation with records and sound. He discusses the origins of graffiti tagging, the rise of DJs like Grandmaster Flash, and the cultural moment when Blondie's “Rapture” helped bring hip-hop into mainstream awareness.Freddy also shares how the first hip-hop film, Wild Style, helped unify the culture's elements—music, dance, graffiti, and fashion—and introduce them to a wider audience.The conversation then turns to the modern era: AI-generated music, the attention economy of social media, and why artists today may need to slow down and develop their work before exposing it to the world.What You'll Learn:How hip-hop emerged from a mix of music, graffiti, dance, and street cultureWhy early DJs searched old records for breakbeats to create new soundsHow the film Wild Style helped define hip-hop culture for the worldWhy artists today may need to resist posting unfinished work onlineHow creativity evolves when technology disrupts the music industryTimestamped Chapters[00:02:00] The Story Behind the Title Everybody's Fly[00:03:01] A Note from James[00:04:15] Meeting Biz Markie and the Culture of Collecting Hip-Hop History[00:05:35] How Jazz, Blues, and Soul Influenced Early Hip-Hop[00:06:22] DJs Digging Through Records to Find Breakbeats[00:07:40] Grandmaster Flash and the Science of DJing[00:08:41] Why Producers Became Central to Hip-Hop Music[00:09:54] Blondie's “Rapture” and Hip-Hop's Mainstream Breakthrough[00:11:00] The Downtown Art Scene: Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Andy Warhol[00:12:24] The Origins of Graffiti and Tagging Culture[00:13:48] Graffiti as Competition and Artistic Evolution[00:15:12] Punk Rock and Hip-Hop: Parallel Cultural Revolutions[00:17:47] The Idea for the First Hip-Hop Film Wild Style[00:19:02] Bringing Breakdancing, Graffiti, and Rap Together on Film[00:21:50] Lessons Modern Artists Can Learn from Early Hip-Hop[00:22:49] Why Posting Creative Work Too Early Can Hurt It[00:24:00] Social Media, Attention, and the Speed of Culture[00:26:00] Hip-Hop's Global Influence[00:29:00] The Birth of Conscious Rap[00:31:12] Directing KRS-One's “My Philosophy” Video[00:33:00] Finding Great Hip-Hop in the Streaming Era[00:36:00] Battle Rap and Lyrical Skill[00:37:00] Artists Who Still Push the Genre Forward[00:40:11] How Rappers Make Money Today[00:43:00] What Makes an Artist Stand the Test of Time[00:47:00] Sampling, Technology, and the Evolution of Music Production[00:54:00] AI Music and the Future of Creativity[01:02:00] What “Everybody's Fly” Really MeansAdditional Resources:Fab 5 Freddyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_Five_FreddyRapturehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture_(Blondie_song)Wild Stylehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_StyleGrandmaster Flashhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmaster_FlashKRS-Onehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRS-OneDebbie Harryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_HarrySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jestli si myslíte, že Prahu dokonale znáte, pravděpodobně se mýlíte. Město, které máme zaškatulkované do známých pohlednic i vyhlídek, má ještě jednu tvář. Tišší, syrovější a často přehlíženou. „Považuji za mýlku, že se na okraji měst stahují nějak nebezpeční lidé,“ poukazuje v Hovorech výtvarník a muzikant Tomáš Staněk, který netradiční místa umělecky zmapoval v Periferním průvodci Prahou.Všechny díly podcastu Hovory můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
Bright geometric shapes make the graffiti work of Kenyan artist Wise Two really stand out. Michael Kaloki tracks how his bold style is evolving as he travels to Mexico where. he says, street art is more widely accepted than in Nairobi, a city where he tends to paint murals in densely populated districts like Kibera and Jericho. On this trip to Mexico, Wise Two has started using a more varied colour palette and not just the traditional primary colours of Maasai masks he was known for. He is also using gold leaf on smaller canvases and abstract shapes on a tricky commission to paint cylindrical air-conditioning vents, not the usual flat surface which graffiti artists decorate. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.

Kann Farbe an einer Hauswand auf ein Stadtviertel medizinisch präventiv wirken? Und wenn die Medizin bildlich gesehen die Menschen vor dem Ertrinken rettet – wer muss dann die Frage stellen, warum sie immer wieder ins Wasser fallen? Was können Stadtplanung, Kunst und Medizin gemeinsam tun, damit Gesundheit dort entsteht, wo Menschen wirklich leben? In dieser Folge von O-Ton Innere Medizin trifft Redakteurin Anouschka Wasner die Direktorin des Instituts für Urban Public Health an der Universitätsmedizin Essen Prof. Susanne Moebus sowie die Graffiti- und Streetart-Künstlerin Claudia Walde alias MadC. Gemeinsam beleuchten sie das Kongressmotto der DGIM 2026 – Paradigmenwechsel - aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Ein Gespräch über Präventionsparadoxe, Farbpsychologie, Akustik im Stadtraum – und darüber, dass Paradigmenwechsel immer auch eine Frage des Mutes zur Kooperation ist. https://www.medical-tribune.de/medizin/innere-medizin/paradigmenwechsel-in-der-medizin-public-urban-health

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour (2.26) Comedian Nate Bargatze is stepping into the host seat with a new competition show centered on the average American, and the crew weighs in on what that could look like. Then it’s a bummer in candy land: Jelly Belly layoffs hit the news, sparking talk about shifting business realities—even for iconic brands. Next comes the great “pajamafication” debate: should people be wearing pajamas on flights? The phones light up as everyone admits what they actually wear in the air (and what they judge silently). Plus, big changes are coming to downtown L.A. as the Graffiti Towers have new owners—so what’s the plan for the buildings and the future of that skyline icon? And to close it out, a trip report turns into a rant: why are Vegas escalators so filthy and constantly broken—and what’s really going on out there?

Post-Soviet Graffiti: Free Speech in Authoritarian States (University of Toronto Press, 2025) is an empirically grounded ethnographic study of how graffiti and street art can be used as a political tool to circumvent censorship, express grievances, and control public discourse, particularly in authoritarian states. For more than a decade, Dr. Alexis M. Lerner combed the alleyways, underpasses, and public squares of cities once under communist rule, from Berlin in the west to Vladivostok in the east, recording thousands of cases of critical and satirical political street art and cataloging these artworks linguistically and thematically across space and time. Complemented by first-hand interviews with leading artists, activists, and politicians from across the region, Post-Soviet Graffiti provides theoretical reflection on public space as a site for political action, a semiotic reading of signs and symbols, and street art as a form of text. The book answers the question of how we conceptualize avenues of dissent under authoritarian rule by showing how contemporary graffiti functions not only as a popular public aesthetic, but also as a mouthpiece of political sentiment, especially within the post-Soviet region and post-communist Europe. A purposefully anonymous and accessible artform, graffiti is an effective tool for circumventing censorship and expressing political views. This is especially true for marginalized populations and for those living in otherwise closed and censored states. Post-Soviet Graffiti reveals that graffiti does not exist in a vacuum; rather, it can be read as a narrative about a place, the people who live there, and the things that matter to them. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Post-Soviet Graffiti reveals that graffiti does not exist in a vacuum; rather, it can be read as a narrative about a place, the people who live there, and the things that matter to them. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Post-Soviet Graffiti: Free Speech in Authoritarian States (University of Toronto Press, 2025) is an empirically grounded ethnographic study of how graffiti and street art can be used as a political tool to circumvent censorship, express grievances, and control public discourse, particularly in authoritarian states. For more than a decade, Dr. Alexis M. Lerner combed the alleyways, underpasses, and public squares of cities once under communist rule, from Berlin in the west to Vladivostok in the east, recording thousands of cases of critical and satirical political street art and cataloging these artworks linguistically and thematically across space and time. Complemented by first-hand interviews with leading artists, activists, and politicians from across the region, Post-Soviet Graffiti provides theoretical reflection on public space as a site for political action, a semiotic reading of signs and symbols, and street art as a form of text. The book answers the question of how we conceptualize avenues of dissent under authoritarian rule by showing how contemporary graffiti functions not only as a popular public aesthetic, but also as a mouthpiece of political sentiment, especially within the post-Soviet region and post-communist Europe.

In deze aflevering van De Donkere Kamer praat ik met Rizon Parein: Antwerpse autodidact die startte als graffitikunstenaar met een liefde voor 3D-letterstyles, en die later campagnes maakte voor merken als Nike, Apple en Adidas. Maar zijn echte motor blijkt iets anders: community.We duiken in het ontstaan van Us By Night (eerste editie in 2016): hoe een “braaf” conferentieformat werd omgebouwd tot een nachtelijk creativiteitsfestival waar talks, spel, club-vibes en ontmoetingen bewust door elkaar lopen. Rizon vertelt open over de rauwe realiteit achter festivals - fundraising, stress, partners die wegvallen - én over waarom integriteit voor hem niet onderhandelbaar is.Ook fotografie komt uitgebreid aan bod: zijn honger naar échte mensen, zijn twijfel om zichzelf “fotograaf” te noemen, studio-ambities, en waarom hij AI fascinerend vindt maar het tegelijk uit zijn eigen beeldtaal wil houden. Dit gesprek gaat over maken, risico, identiteit en hoe je iets bouwt dat groter is dan jezelf zonder je ziel te verkopen.Wil je gerichte feedback op jouw fotografie en een helder plan om verder te groeien? Boek dan een Review Sessie: een 1-op-1 feedbackmoment van 90 minuten waarin we jouw beelden, vragen en blokkades concreet aanpakken. Boek hier je sessie.

We kick things off with Dave’s Hot Chicken and a growing frustration in Orange County, where residents say the smell from the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill is impacting Portola Springs in Irvine. The landfill — one of the largest in California with an estimated 31 million tons of waste — has neighbors demanding answers and relief. Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, joins the show with design wisdom you won’t hear anywhere else. Growing up near the Scholl Canyon Landfill, Dean breaks down how smart design can overcome almost anything. He shares must-know tips on home orientation and situation, why Juliette balconies add real value, and how layered light sources can completely transform a space. More from Dean as he dives into skylights — including why going frosted might be the smartest move you can make for comfort and resale. And finally, people turning to Trader Joes to save money. Plus, a look at Olympics women’s hockey as excitement builds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back for another live show at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, hosted by the Northwestern Federalist Society! We discuss the term's two Second Amendment arguments -- first recapping the oral argument in Wolford v. Lopez, featuring Hawaii's law about getting consent to bear arms on private property; and then previewing the oral argument in United States v. Hemani, about the ban on possession of guns by drug users.

Es sind viele kleine Vorfälle: Eine Drohne in der Nähe eines Flughafens. Ein Paket, das brennt. Bauschaum im Auspuff. Graffiti an Hauswänden. Dumme Streiche? Zufall? Oder doch Teil eines größeren Musters? Hybrider Krieg ist auch für die, die dagegen ankämpfen, ein immer größer werdendes Problem. Und es ist ernst. Das wissen auch die deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden und die Nachrichtendienste. In dieser Hintergrundfolge schauen wir hinter die Kulissen der hybriden Kriegsführung – und darauf, wie deutsche Sicherheitsbehörden mit diesen neuen Bedrohungen umgehen. Wie gut sind Polizei, Staatsanwaltschaften und Nachrichtendienste wirklich vorbereitet auf Sabotage, Spionage und den Einsatz sogenannter Wegwerf-Agenten? Eva-Maria Lemke spricht mit dem ARD-Geheimdienstexperten Holger Schmidt über alte Spionagebilder und neue Realitäten, über Ermittlungen, die im Kleinen beginnen, und über die Frage, wie diese vielen Nadelstiche gezielt Unsicherheit erzeugen sollen. Und wenn ihr die Geschichte hören wollt, die hinter diesem Gespräch steht, dann hört rein in die dazugehörige Folge: „Russlands Rächer und der Showdown in Frankfurt”. Und noch ein Tipp zum Weiterhören: „15 Minuten. Der tagesschau-Podcast am Morgen”. Damit startet ihr immer gut informiert und trotzdem lächelnd in den Tag. In „15 Minuten” unterhalten sich zwei Hosts locker über das, was an dem Tag an Ereignissen und Politik wichtig ist. „15 Minuten. Der tagesschau-Podcast am Morgen” gibt es in der ARD Audiothek und überall, wo es Podcasts gibt. https://1.ard.de/15Minuten

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Graffiti – the good kind, done with lots of style and skill – developed when some kids in NYC took up cans of spray paint and started to figure out how to outdo one another. They laid down styles that are so fine they’re still being used by artists today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
