Bill, whose article appears in the June 2026 issue of Grapevine, tells Olis and Don that he had to learn to do what AA asks you to do. In the beginning he did not get the ideas of alcoholism as an allergy, or the phenomenon of craving, but his sponsor helped him understand these things about himself. He came in thinking his life was over, but now thinks of sober times when his face hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Leslie shares about the benefits of Grapevine. In Using the Traditions in Our Lives we hear thoughts on Tradition Six from DeEtte, Courtney and Sarah. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Ten Since Municipality Elections, But No Majority Coalition Yet Formed In ReykjavíkThe big winner of the Reykjavík municipality elections was The Independence Party. The party's slogan for the city elections was Strax-D or Immediately-D, yet 10 days after the election, with no new coalition in sight, voters may start to wonder what exactly “immediately” actually means.Iceland N-Korean Friendship Association Formed During PsychosisThe founder of the Iceland - North Korean Friendship Association told visir.is she had been in a pshcosis when the association was formed. Mia Marcelina Alexa Guðmundsdóttir founded the association back in 2022 along with a Sunneva Náttsól. According to Mia, she at that point, she supported extreme interpretation of communism. She now says, in a op-ed she published on visir.is, that psychosis had caused her to support extreme, simplified ideology, which she does not support anymore.Icelandair Flights Keep Getting CancelledNumerous Icelandair flights have been cancelled in the past days and weeks because of the airline being unable to get pilots to pilot their plains. While the pilots don't explicitly say why this is, on the face of it it looks to be a part of a debate between the airline and the pilots that work for it, with regards to Icelandair possibly moving parts of their operations abroad, probably to get out of the baggage of paying Icelandic salaries to crews.Do The Icelandic Fisheries Own Everything In Iceland?A new parliamentary report addresses the ownership of Icelandic fisheries in other sectors of the economy. However, the report has been reported for being too limited in its definitions of what is and isn't owned by the fisheries, and one parliamentarian said that the report only caught the “top of the Iceberg” that is that sectors ownership in Icelandic businesses.Nobody Wants A Ferris Wheel In Reykjavík, AgainDuring the past few summers, a ferries wheel has been operated by Reykjavík's harbor, to little enthusiasm by the locals, and what seems like little attendance. The mayor of Reykjavík has suggested that the ferries wheel should be put up yet again, but locals have started a petition to oppose the motion.The Synthetic Windpipe Scandal, Paolo Machiarini and IcelandA tort case filed by against the Icelandic state by the widow of Andemariams Teklesenbet Beyene, who had a synthetic trachea implant in Sweden in a procedure performed by Paolo Macchiarini in 2011, was concluded last week, with the widow winning the caseSupport the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTDonate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter. The magazine covers everything Iceland-related, with a special focus culture, music, food and travel.

In episode 303 of Remarkable Retail, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc deliver a sharp, fast-moving episode built around a single conviction from one of retail's most influential retailers: the future is people-led and tech-enabled. Chris Nicholas, former President & CEO of Sam's Club and now President & CEO of Walmart International — a global operation spanning 18 countries, 5,700 stores, and over 500,000 employees shares how humanity and technology are intertwined to drive growth. In this encore interview, Chris makes the case that retail innovation isn't about replacing people with technology. It's about using AI and digital tools to strip out friction, empower associates, and build better member experiences. Technology serves the human, not the other way around. Chris unpacks Sam's Club's nearly $90 billion membership-driven model and explains why the warehouse club sector keeps gaining momentum worldwide. He goes deep on the "club of the future" strategy — including the closely watched Grapevine, Texas location with computer vision-powered exits, Scan & Go checkout, AI-enabled shopping, and a radically redesigned store built around convenience, inspiration, and engagement. His core belief: consumers everywhere want the same things — value, convenience, innovation, and experiences that genuinely improve their lives. Before the interview, the hosts break down a blockbuster earnings week. Walmart posts another massive quarter, adding a staggering $18 billion in quarterly revenue while investing aggressively in price to hold share against inflation. Target delivers one of its strongest quarters in years, a sign its turnaround may finally be gaining traction. TJX proves resilient yet again as off-price rides the consumer "stampede to value." Home Depot and Lowe's, meanwhile, keep struggling in a sluggish housing and renovation market as higher rates squeeze big-ticket spending. The episode closes with Shein's surprising acquisition of Everlane — which Steve calls "where irony goes to die," given Everlane's brand built on radical transparency. Steve and Michael also dig into rising bond yields and the broader implications of AI legislation and the growing political clout of major technology investors like Andreessen Horowitz.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Iceland's Municipality ElectionsElections were held in Iceland's municipalities on Saturday. These elections take place every four years and unlike parliamentary elections have a wider voting base, since people who don't have an Icelandic citizenship can vote in them. In Reykjavík, the ruling coalition in the city lost its majority. While no single party gained a pure majority, the Independence Party was the winner of the election landing 9 municipality seats, out of the 23 available with 32,9% of the vote. We discuss the election, and what it may mean for the current government and the upcoming referendum on continuing negotiations with the EU.Summer VibesToday's forecast expects up to 14 degrees celsius, meaning that today, Monday, may feel like summer in Iceland has begun, finally.AMOC Doomsday Prophecies May Effect Government PolicyHalldór Þorgeirsson, the chairman of Loftslagsráð, or “The Climate Council” which is a council set up by Icelandic law to provide advice to Iceland's government on the climate, has sent the government a memo, warning that the likelihood of the collapse of the so called AMOC in the North Atlantic, calls for immediate action by the Icelandic government. he AMOC is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation — a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that moves warm, salty water northward near the surface and cold, denser water southward at depth. The Gulf Stream is part of it. According to reporting on the AMOC the mean temperature in Iceland may drop by 9 degrees Celsius if the AMOC collapses, and that the odds of that happening by the end of this century are now so high, that something needs to be done — globally — if Iceland is not to become uninhabitable. The Council recommends that Iceland adopt the official position that the potential collapse of the AMOC is a national security issue, and start applying pressure internationally to reduce carbon emissions.Support the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://grapevine.is/high-five-club/Or donate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter. The magazine covers everything Iceland-related, with a special focus culture, music, food and travel.

A Lifelong Passion for Quail: Billy's hunting journey began at age 10 in Mineral Wells, Texas, when his father handed him a single-shot Steven's 12-gauge shotgun. Bird Dog Advice: For those looking to get their first bird dog, Billy highly recommends attending a National Shoot to Retrieve Association (NSTRA) field trial to observe different breeds and talk to experienced trainers. He also emphasizes the importance of starting with good bloodlines and investing in a professional trainer for the dog's first year. Fueling the Hunt: Billy stresses the importance of high-quality nutrition for working dogs, specifically recommending Purina Pro Plan Performance (30/20 blend) to keep them healthy and energized in the field. Shotgun Preferences: Billy's go-to upland gun is a dependable Ruger Red Label 20-gauge with fixed skeet chokes. Cooking the Harvest: When it comes to cooking quail, Billy prefers keeping it classic and simple: lightly dusted in flour, salt, and pepper, and fried in a skillet. Learn more about your ad choices.

Carol and Alex join Don and Sam to discuss their understanding of a power greater than themselves, and the process of surrender. Carol was viewed as too sick to help at one treatment center; Alex's drinking was manageable for years, but then a switch went off and he was drinking in the morning and at work. Both found different paths to AA, but both have enjoyed sobriety by working the 12 Steps. All four share on letters about surrendering from Ian, Buddy and Gerry. Clay shares about Grapevine in his group, and in hospitals and institutions work. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

You've probably never heard of Mi Sher Auto Parts, the company that owns Grapevine's one and only NAPA store. But even if you've never bought from them, they've probably made an impact on your life. The Mi Sher portfolio includes Integrated Business Solutions in multiple industries, including ground support at DFW International Airport. This week, we're asking them to help us untangle the mysterious web of the Supply Chain... and discovering the essential (and problematically overlooked) "middlemen" at the heart of it all.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine editor-in-chief Bart Cameron, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in the past week. On the docket this week are: Pop Legend Björgvin Halldórsson PassesBjörgvin Halldórsson passed on April 9th last week, a week short of his 75th birthday. Björgvin, or “Bo” may be a bit hard to explain to non-Icelandic audiences, but he started out as Iceland's first teen pop-star in the late 60s, and went on to have a prolific music career and series of hits, along with becoming a larger-than-life character in Icelandic life.Eleven “parties” in the running in Reykjavík's upcoming municipality elections. One “party” in the town of VopnafjörðurThe municipality elections will take place for all municipalities in Iceland, on 16 May. Excitement seems to vary between places, as eleven entities turned in a candidate list for the elections in Reykjavík, while one such list of candidates was sent in for the elections in Vopnafjörður, east Iceland.Icelandair Pilot On Last Flight, “Hedgehops” Over HometownLast Friday, an Icelandair passenger jet flying to Keflavík from Frankfurt, made a very low and unauthorized flyover over the Westman Islands. The pilot was celebrating his last flight, by flying low over his home town, and as is reported, much to the satisfaction of the passengers onboard, but to the chagrin of the residents of the Westman Islands. Man Wakes Up, Sees Notice Of Own Demise In NewspaperSölvi Guðmundarson woke up last Friday to the unpleasant experience of reading about his own death in Iceland's last remaining daily paper, Morgunblaðið.Government Announces Three Pronged Plan To Battle InflationIn short, the government announced that they'd be 1) lowering VAT on fuel from 25% to 11%, 2) more diligently watching changes in prices, 3) Spending 500 million ISK to increase access to EV charging stations. Opposition members were unsurprisingly unimpressed, but so were union leaders.New Report On The Town Of Grindavík, Advices Against Families With Children Moving To The Town. The report was met with little enthusiasm by some of the Support the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://grapevine.is/high-five-club/Or donate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter. The magazine covers everything Iceland-related, with a special focus culture, music, food and travel.

Mike, whose article appears in the April issue of Grapevine Magazine, describes his first drink to Olis and Sam. He felt a radiant warmth inside and a feeling of connection to the group. But drinking caused problems too: a lost scholarship, a court martial in the military. Mike also describes a period of quitting drinking on a non-spiritual basis and resulting troubles. He found his way to AA, where others talked to him about their experience and the solution they found. Mike reluctantly got active at first and through many service positions eventually found himself on the General Service Board.While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
