I made updates in each page on Ravelry to add skein information. You can enter length and weight and it add that to your stash.  I also ended up changing the names of the finished projects to include the weight and length! I wrote yarn weight (dk sport etc) on physical tags i have on the yarn. So much easier for me to work with.   Brainstorming I have 3 skeins of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool that I used to start a Waverly Cardigan (but the gauge is just too tight)- click here for my Ravelry Project Page.

No ano da sua morte, 1988, António José Forte lembrava, numa entrevista que deu a Ernesto Sampaio para o “Diário de Lisboa”, a frase que por aqueles dias ainda podia ler-se num muro da Avenida de Berna: “Não vos inquieteis, é a realidade que se engana”. Tinha 57 anos feitos naquele mês de Fevereiro, dava-se como vivo a pouco mais de nove meses do fim, e garantia que não se inquietava. Tinha a confiança daqueles dois olhos grandes, que sabiam ler bem como só poucos alguma vez foram capazes. E não se inquietava porque há muito se apercebera de que a realidade não era senão outra aparência, um acordo de bestas que o poeta deve repudiar. Por isso mesmo, logo na sua primeira intervenção escrita – “Quase 3 Discursos Quase Veementes” –, no segundo número da revista “Pirâmide”, em Junho de 1959, vincava: “Não estranheis os sinais, não estranheis este povo que oculta a cabeça nas entranhas dos mortos. Fazei todo o mal que puderdes e passai depressa.” Hoje ainda vamos falando muito de realidade, das suas espécies ou diferentes níveis, mas isto não passa há muito de uma forma de jactância e soberba, pois há muito que vamos abrindo mão desses acentos mais agudos ou extremos que procuram engrenar aquela capacidade de nos devolver ao assombro inaugural dos efeitos de nomeação. Num mundo cada vez mais virtual, a pergunta que Baudrillard ia fazendo é: haverá um além do virtual? A gramática e o léxico deixaram de ser uma membrana viva e há muito se foram cristalizando a ponto de impedirem a intervenção de novas formas de sensibilidade, assim, e através da frequência dos clichés, dos símiles mecânicos e dos automatismos, condenamo-nos a um registo cada vez mais esclerosado desse plano onde os nossos sentidos e alcance se exprimem. Para nos servirmos da articulação de Steiner, tornamo-nos prisioneiros de um traçado linguístico que se volve cada vez mais inerte, emurchecido, incapaz de desposar a paisagem cambiante dos factos, servindo apenas para formalizar as reacções humanas ao invés de as estimular. Assim, na senda de Kraus, também aquele crítico literário indagou sobre a possibilidade de a língua recair num embolorecimento, sobrecarregando-se de uma fraseologia hierática e imutável, deixando de assegurar um modelo disponível e gerador de realidade. “As palavras, esses guardiões do sentido, não são imortais, do mesmo modo que não são também invulneráveis", escrevia Adamov nos seus cadernos, em 1938. Embora algumas vão sobrevivendo, outras são atingidas de um modo incurável. Quando a guerra rebentou, ele acrescentava: “Gastas, transparentes, corroídas, as palavras tornaram-se cadáveres de palavras, palavras-fantasma; mascamo-las, regurgitamos o seu som, sem convicção, entre os maxilares.” Há muito que Kraus havia pressagiado uma “era glacial para o espírito”, sendo que, para ele “o verdadeiro fim do mundo é o aniquilamento do espírito”. Em seu entender, o acto adâmico da nomeação tinha-se constituído por fidelidade a uma origem essencial em virtude da qual natureza e linguagem se entreteciam para constituir um livro da criação. E era em atenção a esta dignidade ontológica outorgada por ele à linguagem, que Kraus entendia como ao embrutecê-la era a própria vida que se embrutecia. Por isso dedicou todos os seus esforços a preservar a harmonia da palavra enquanto combate moral. Não concebia separação alguma entre o que um homem é e o que diz, nem entre o que diz e a sua forma de o dizer: se alguém pecasse contra a lei cristalizada na linguagem, pecava contra a verdade. Para ele, todo o erro transporta uma culpa: “a má arte e a vida degradada são espelhos uma da outra e comprovam uma identidade atroz”. Em seu entender, por efeito dos rituais que diariamente vulgarizam a linguagem, e sobretudo por acção da imprensa, o que passara a determinar o tempo presente eram os clichés, os quais trabalhavam já autonomamente. Assim, devia ser assumida pelos homens de espírito a tarefa sagrada de cuidar e proteger as palavras atingidas pela doença, procurando restaurar uma certa pureza originária, uma precisão etimológica. Desde o primeiro número de A Torcha (Die Fackel), o seu anti-jornal, Kraus dispôs-se a confrontar a realidade da sua época com uma “lei de fogo”, produzindo uma desesperada antítese a esse tempo presente consumido pelos “átomos da trivialidade” e que tanto o repugnava. Sabendo que toda a letra se pode transformar em catástrofe, ele quis submergir-se no “pântano da fraseologia” de modo a levar a cabo a sua dissecação. Steiner reforça a ideia de que a linguagem é o principal aparelho de apreensão da realidade, e nota como “no Livro de Isaías, a gramática dos profetas dá corpo a um profundo escândalo metafísico – a intervenção do tempo futuro que expande a linguagem no tempo”. Por sua vez, diz-nos ele, “a obra de Tucídides é habitada por uma descoberta contrária – Tucídides é o primeiro a compreender bem que o passado é uma construção linguística, que a única garantia da história é o tempo passado dos versos. A vivacidade prodigiosa dos diálogos platónicos, a adopção da dialéctica como método de investigação intelectual, é inseparável da descoberta de que as palavras, uma vez postas à prova, e podendo afrontar-se numa batalha ou articular-se numa dança, abrem caminho a novas formas do entendimento.” Por sua vez, Eduardo Brito em “Procura Nada” vem interrogar a estrutura da verdade como ficção, celebrando a teoria da relatividade e, ao mesmo tempo, fornecendo também “uma espécie de loa ao mais elegante tempo verbal, o futur antérieur, que em português tem o nome de futuro composto e perde, na poesia, o que ganha em rigor terminológico: o futuro do verbo auxiliar avoir ou être e o particípio passado do verbo principal, a anterioridade em relação a um momento determinado de algo indeterminado, como se fosse tudo assim tão relativo como o tempo: quando partir, já terei voltado.” Trata-se, portanto, de investigar os processos que nos alertam para a heterogeneidade neste mundo, contra a homogeneização e a uni-dimensionalidade. Corroendo as lógicas unívocas, esta narrativa mostra-se capaz de infectar o próprio decurso da história, como se a vontade fosse capaz de lhe alterar o desfecho, atingindo o sentido de fatalidade que associamos ao passado. A certa altura, e num dos momentos mais instigantes deste livro, Brito fala-nos de alguns velejadores que, em 1968, participaram na mítica regata promovida pelo jornal inglês The Sunday Times. Os oito marinheiros foram desafiados a circum-navegarem o globo, partindo de Inglaterra, e seguindo o caminho que quisessem, desde que o fizessem solitariamente. Se, dos oito, quatro desistiram pouco depois do começo, e um quinto abandonou a prova a meio, por naufrágio, Brito não perde tempo com aquele que ganhou, mas foca-se nos dois que poderiam ter ganhado a corrida, mas que por razões diferentes não o fizeram: o velejador francês Bernard Moitessier e Donald Crowhurst. Este engenheiro eletrotécnico embarcara na prova sem qualquer experiência enquanto navegador, e depois de forjar uma rota que não chegou a percorrer, veio a aportar secretamente o seu trimarã na Argentina, onde deixou passar o tempo que julgou suficiente para ficar em último lugar, acabando por retomar a corrida numa altura em que estava a caminho de se tornar vencedor, mas, receando ser exposto pela sua fraude, acabou por enlouquecer e se suicidar. Quem também ficou cativada por Crowhurst foi a artista visual Tacita Dean, que reconstituiu aquele período final da sua vida, as semanas em que já não sabia onde se encontrava. “Tinha perdido completamente a noção do tempo e desenvolvido uma relação obsessiva com o seu cronómetro avariado, o instrumento que mede o Tempo Médio de Greenwich a bordo. Começou a sofrer de ‘loucura do tempo', um problema familiar aos marinheiros cuja única forma de localizar a sua posição depende de uma observância rigorosa do tempo. Quando o seu sentido do tempo se distorceu, deixou de ter qualquer ponto de referência na massa mutável do oceano cinzento. Oprimido pela enormidade do seu engano e pela ofensa ao princípio sagrado da verdade — aquilo que acreditava ser o seu ‘Pecado da Ocultação' — Crowhurst ‘abandonou o jogo' e tudo indica que se terá lançado ao mar com o seu cronómetro, a apenas algumas centenas de milhas da costa da Grã-Bretanha.” Hoje, muitos de nós estamos também devastados por esta incapacidade de nos situarmos, incapazes de nos reconhecermos nos elementos cada vez mais deslassados e inconstantes da crónica que vamos fazendo, e, por essa razão, estamos a sofrer também os sintomas de uma loucura do tempo. A linguagem adoecida serve-nos cada vez de menos, e se considerarmos, como anota Steiner, que mesmo a história não passa de um acto de discurso, um uso selectivo do tempo passado, e que, sem essa ficção verdadeira da história, sem a animação ininterrupta de um passado escolhido, não passamos de sombras vazias, começa a ficar claro como nos destinamos a uma deriva na massa mutável do oceano cinzento, desses desertos nos quais não somos capazes de nos guiar por nenhum elemento constante. “Os vestígios, como os monumentos e lugares históricos, por mais concretos que sejam”, lembra Steiner, “têm também de ser ‘lidos', quer dizer, situados num contexto de reconhecimento verbal, a fim de adquirirem uma presença real”… Então, a pergunta que Steiner formula é: “de que realidade palpável dispõe a história fora da linguagem e da nossa crença reflexiva em testemunhos que são de ordem fundamentalmente linguística?” E entre os principais elementos de erosão do sentido, além das pragas, dos vermes e dos incêndios que são capazes de danar parcialmente os arquivos, há ainda a pressão dos regimes totalitário, que trabalham para destruir não apenas esses testemunhos, mas degradar a consciência do passado e até aquilo que nos permite a todo deslocarmo-nos na dimensão temporal, esse livro da criação, essa linguagem que visa a ressonância da construção de um passado.

A fire in a public venue happened again. No, I am not talking about the one in Switzerland. Since the tragic New Year celebration, we had one more near-miss in Madrid on Jan 10th 2026... In fact, who knows how many we actually had? It is a tragedy that feels like it is playing on repeat... In this podcast episode, we try to dig into why nightclub fires follow the same script decade after decade—what are the parts of the pattern, and what can we do through smarter design, honest modelling, and real enforcement. With guest Lazaros Filippidis from the Fire Safety Engineering Group at the University of Greenwich, we map the chain of failure: combustible acoustic treatments under low ceilings, narrow or locked exits, stair “chimneys” that pull smoke toward escaping crowds, and furniture layouts that turn doors into traps.We talk about human behaviour. People head for the entrance they know. They hesitate when cues conflict—especially if pyrotechnics were part of the show minutes earlier. Phones come out. People respond in such a way not because people are foolish, but because recognition takes time in loud, dark, crowded spaces. The fix isn't shaming; it's designing for how people really act: outward‑opening doors, multiple distributed exits, better signage, immediate lights up and music down, and staff who redirect flow on instinct.For engineers, we go beyond textbook ASET vs RSET and show how coupled fire–evacuation modeling reveals the true picture as heat, irritants, and visibility degrade movement and decision‑making. We make the case for sensitivity analyses: add more patrons, block an exit, switch to ultra‑fast fire growth, drop a service trolley into a corridor, and see in what scenarios your modelling results collapse. We can find the bottlenecks, and if we do, we can fix them. With practical tools—from zone models to agent‑based simulators—you can find vulnerabilities before opening night and recommend changes that add crucial minutes or even seconds.It was a tough episode to record, especially since there is not much new we have learnt about human behaviour or fire growth in such facilities... I hope this provides some food for thought and fuels future design considerations.If you are interested in modelling done with buildingExodus, for which Lazaros is one of the developers, please go and visit the FSEG website.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Chris Rotondi, franchisee of a Serotonin Center in Greenwich, Connecticut. From his early days as the 13th employee at Shift4 to his foray into the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor) space, Chris talks about his entrepreneurial path and passion for biohacking, longevity, and helping others transform their lives. Listen now as Pete and Chris discuss the hard truths behind starting and scaling a HALO business, the importance of authentic local marketing, and the unique advantages (and sometimes challenges!) of joining a strong franchise network. Whether you're interested in the business side of wellness, new trends in anti-aging, or just enjoy hearing candid stories from the front lines of entrepreneurship, this episode delivers plenty of insights and takeaways. (And if you missed it, we interviewed Seratonin Center CEO Eric Casaburi a while back. Link down below.)  On expanding within a franchise, Rotondi states, "After your first store it gets a lot easier to take where you are in that first location, and start the second one from that same level, rather than going back and having to relearn all those rookie mistakes that maybe you made when you first opened." Key themes discussed Chris's inspiration to open a Serotonin Center. The importance of word-of-mouth and community marketing. Challenges and rewards of operating a franchise. The evolving mainstream acceptance of biohacking and longevity practices. Collaborations and partnerships with local businesses for mutual growth. Scaling, staffing, and operational complexities in health franchises. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Entrepreneurial Path & Inspiration: Rotondi shared how his extensive experience at Shift4, where he was surrounded by entrepreneurs and watched a company scale from startup to IPO, inspired him to eventually strike out on his own. This not only shaped his mindset but also gave him the confidence and motivation to take the leap into business ownership. 2. Choosing Serotonin Centers Was a Passion Play: Rather than conducting an exhaustive analysis of possible business options, Chris says that he was immediately drawn to Serotonin and felt a strong alignment with the concept. He dabbled in real estate but realized he needed a business that delivered a tangible positive impact—and found that in the HALO space. 3. Transformative Results Make the Business Rewarding: The most fulfilling aspect of running the center is seeing noticeable transformations in clients—whether it's 35-40 pounds of weight loss or improved health outcomes. These stories not only validate the mission but also create infectious momentum through word of mouth. 4. Franchising as a Strategic Advantage: Rotondi also emphasizes the value of being part of a franchise system, especially in a highly regulated, evolving industry like health and longevity. The franchisor provides critical infrastructure, best practices, and ongoing support, allowing franchisees to scale faster and avoid common pitfalls that solo operators might typically face. 5. Local Networking & Authentic Marketing Are Key: For growth, Chris focuses on the importance of networking and building authentic relationships in his local market (Greenwich, CT). Word of mouth remains king, and collaborations with other health and wellness businesses (like co-branded menu items with nearby cafés) drive new client acquisition and community engagement.

Laura Delano is the author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance. Laura was fourteen years old when she saw her first psychiatrist, which was not something openly discussed at the time in her wealthy hometown of Greenwich, CT. Over the next 14 years, Laura was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, social anxiety disorder, eating disorder, poly-substance dependence, and borderline personality disorder. These conditions earned her prescriptions for Seroquel, Abilify, Klonopin, Ativan, Ambien, Prozac, Effexor, Celexa, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, lithium, and many more. During this time, she engaged in self-harm, spent time in psychiatric hospitals, and attempted to take her own life. In 2010, Laura decided she had had enough with all the diagnoses and the drugs. Her book tells the story of how she weaned herself from this medical regimen and found a stable life free of prescriptions. You've gotta listen to this conversation. Laura and I talk about mental health, the pharmaceutical industry, how her behavior affected those around her, how her family dealt with their difficult sister and daughter, and how that love finally helped to see her through.Btw, the ‘80s punk band whose name I couldn't remember around the 10-minute mark is Suicidal Tendencies. Thanks to my pal, “Nashville Ben” for recommending Laura's book for me.

Listener Note: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideations. There are some conversations we avoid because they're heavy and complicated - and because they bring up shame, grief, and questions that don't have easy answers.This episode is one of those conversations. But I'm not avoiding it any longer.This week on That Greenwich Life, we're opening the door to a topic so many people are living with quietly: family estrangement. Not the dramatic version people assume — but the slow, painful unraveling that happens when relationships meant to feel safe begin to feel harmful, draining, or deeply confusing. And this can also apply to friends who feel like family – or at least used to.My guest this week, Bianca Jade - @BiancaJade on Instagram -- is a TV host, content creator, and leading beauty, health, and lifestyle influencer who has openly shared her infertility journey and path to motherhood with a level of vulnerability and authenticity that has helped countless women, men, and families—including me personally. She has appeared on major outlets including the Today Show, CBS Morning News, Dr. Oz, and regional affiliates across the country.If you've ever felt torn between loyalty and self-protection…If you've ever questioned your own reality because “they're family”…If you've ever carried grief for a relationship that never became what you hoped it would or one that went from feeling safe and familiar to unsafe and unfamiliar…this episode is for you.

By the time the ball drops in Times Square tonight, the people of the Line Islands will be almost a full day into 2026. The islands are in the Pacific Ocean, south of Hawaii. But they’re just across the International Date Line. That makes the islands the first place to see the new year. The Date Line is needed because the time gets an hour earlier for every time zone west, and an hour later for every time zone east. Without a place to reset the date, time just wouldn’t make sense. The line mostly runs down the middle of the Pacific – half way around the globe from Greenwich, England, which is the starting point for the time system. But individual countries can set their own time zones. So the line zigzags between Alaska and Russia. And near the equator, it jumps more than a thousand miles to the east. That extension came three decades ago. The island nation of Kiribati changed its time zones. That made it easier for the country to do business with Australia, which is west of the Date Line. The country’s easternmost extension is the Line Islands. So the date changes there first – making the Line Islands the first places on Earth to ring in the new year. American Samoa is farther west than the Line Islands. But its time zone puts it on the opposite side of the Date Line – making it one of the last places to change the calendar.

El meridiano de Greenwich, una línea imaginaria que une los polos y pasa por el Real Observatorio de Greenwich en Londres, sirve como referencia para medir la longitud geográfica y establecer los husos horarios. Se fijó en 1884 durante la Conferencia Internacional del Meridiano. Se impuso a otros observatorios como el de París. El GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) fue el estándar internacional hasta su reemplazo por el UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), ya basado en relojes atómicos, aunque, eso sí, ambos están vinculados a este meridiano. La idea de fijar un meridiano principal data del siglo III a.C. cuando Eratóstenes de Cirene midió la circunferencia terrestre con una precisión notable. Observó las sombras que proyectaban los obeliscos en Asuán y en Alejandría en el mediodía del solsticio de verano y, tras hacer un experimento, demostró la esfericidad de la Tierra. Sobre ella trazó una cuadrícula imaginaria compuesta por paralelos y meridianos. La latitud es fácil de fijar. Se mide desde el Ecuador con líneas paralelas a distancias constantes. La longitud carece de una referencia natural y además los meridianos convergen en los polos por lo que se van estrechando. Eratóstenes fijó el primer meridiano y, a partir de él, cada cultura eligió su propio meridiano. Esto no importó demasiado hasta que comenzaron los viajes oceánicos de portugueses y españoles en el siglo XV. Pero calcular la longitud requería medir el tiempo de forma precisa, algo que no fue posible hasta bien entrado el siglo siglo XVIII. Fue un inglés llamado John Harrison quien resolvió el problema con un cronómetro marino de una precisión extraordinaria. La Revolución Industrial trajo nuevos ingenios como los barcos de vapor, los ferrocarriles y el telégrafo. Eso exigía una medida igual para todo el mundo. Y así es como delegados de 25 países se reunieron en Washington en 1884 para escoger el lugar de referencia para el meridiano cero. El elegido fue Greenwich por su observatorio, la tradición náutica británica y la pericia de sus cartógrafos. Francia se opuso y resistió hasta 1911. Durante esos años se referían al meridiano de Greenwich como "tiempo de París retrasado". Desde el meridiano cero se puede dividir la Tierra longitudinalmente con otras líneas imaginarias, las de los husos horarios. Pero ahí más que las matemáticas lo que ha terminado primando es la política. Cada país ha adaptado los husos a sus propias necesidades, de ahí que encontremos tantas anomalías, algunas realmente llamativas como el hecho de que un país tan extenso como China tenga el mismo horario, el de la capital, Pekín, que está en el extremo oriental del país. Algo similar sucede con la línea internacional de cambio de fecha, que oficialmente nunca se ha fijado. Discurre en torno al paralelo 180º en el centro del océano Pacífico, pero luego cada uno de los países de esa parte del mundo decide si prefiere estar en el hoy o en el mañana. El sistema de horarios y fechas tiene mucho de arbitrario, pero es funcional y ha conseguido que todos sepamos qué día y qué hora es en cualquier lugar del mundo.

Henry Gartner Public Program Coordinator at Wild Earth, grew up in rural Greenwich, NY, where his love for the outdoors began.   After earning a mathematics degree from SUNY New Paltz, Henry made the Hudson Valley his home. Today, you'll find him trad climbing and mountain biking in the Gunks year-round, and when winter hits, he's carving telemark turns on the slopes.

This week's episode is for every woman who has ever looked at her life — the career, the home, the relationships, the routines — and quietly wondered:How did I get here… and what do I actually want next?We're diving into the subtle identity shifts that happen over time — the ones we don't always see coming. The ones that show up after motherhood, after loss, after burnout, after you've held everyone else together for so long that you suddenly realize:I don't feel connected to myself anymore - and I want more.And in this episode, I'm sitting down with someone who understands reinvention in a way that feels both comforting and electrifying: Sharon Macey — host of the podcast “Mom To More,” who has devoted her work to helping women return to themselves and figure out their next chapter.Together, we explore:the quiet ways women lose their sense of identitythe “stuck” feeling that so many of us try to push awaywhat reinvention actually looks like — in real time, not the polished versionThis conversation is grounding and honest and full of those moments where you suddenly feel less alone — the kind that remind you your second act doesn't have to look like your first.You are allowed to want more, and you are allowed to discover parts of yourself you haven't met yet.This episode feels like exhaling — and maybe even like the very beginning of your next chapter.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Constantino's of Greenwich - our episode sponsor for the easiest dinners weeknights or weekends and don't miss their homemade ice cream that my kids BEG me for!

This episode opens the door to a conversation so many of you have been whispering about, DM'ing me about, and trying to navigate quietly on your own:how female friendships shift in midlife and especially in motherhood — and why it feels so confusing.If you've ever found yourself wondering why you don't talk to your friends the way you used to,why coordinating even a 15-minute coffee feels impossible,why some relationships feel stronger than ever while others suddenly feel misaligned,this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.I'm joined by creator, author, and mom-of-two Julia Dzafic aka @lemonstripes whose honest conversations about motherhood, mental health, and the messy and beautiful behind-the-scenes of life resonate with so many women. Together, we unpack not just how friendships change as life piles on — but why they do.We talk about the shrinking bandwidth every mom feels, the guilt that creeps in when you're stretched too thin, and how to tell the difference between a friendship that needs nurturing - and one that has quietly run its course.Make sure you listen to the full episode because toward the end, we also get a special cameo from licensed therapist, author and my best friend, Alison Seponara aka @Theanxietyhealer who you have seen on the show before. She shares her clinical take on why so many women experience this shift, what friendship “misalignment” really means, and how to navigate the emotional layers of these transitions with more clarity and compassion.It's honest, validating, and the conversation we all need.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Constantino's of Greenwich - our episode sponsor for the easiest dinners weeknights or weekends and don't miss their homemade ice cream that my kids BEG me for!

You can't move for people talking about the Roman Empire or the British Empire, but what about the Ottoman Empire?It spanned a huge period of time and at the heart of it was the Royal harem: enslaved women who lived in closed-off servitude to the Sultan.Peaking in the 17th century, who were these women? What were their lives like inside the palace? And why have westerners been particularly fascinated by this part of history?Joining Kate today is Dr Michael Talbot, Professor in the History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Middle East at University of Greenwich, to help us find out.This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Brandi's been hustlin', ping-ponging from a corporate gig in Greenwich to Cowboy Christmas in Vegas (seriously—the best cowboy shopping period) and now she's heading to LA for an early Cyrus-family celebration — no gifts, just straight vibes! Your hosts also break down chill ways to ring in the new year… can Wells really keep it low-key in NYC??Meanwhile, in news no one asked for, Fyre Festival is somehow back—rebranded as PHNX Festival (get it? The Phoenix rises? Yeah… we don't either). Wells blesses our ears with some of the fest's most, um, distinctive sounds. We've also got 50 Cent at his pettiest (and best), Andy Garcia casually taking Wells' Land Cruiser for a spin, and some A+ listener voicemails to round it out.

This episode opens the door to a conversation so many women have been craving: the mental and emotional side of perimenopause — the part no one prepared us for.If you've been waking up at 3am, feeling overstimulated, forgetting words mid-sentence, wondering why you don't quite feel like yourself anymore — this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.I'm joined by therapist and author Lauren Tetenbaum, whose new book Millennial Menopause is helping women understand what's happening in their minds and bodies during this transition. Together we unpack not just the physical symptoms we were never taught about — but the emotional toll that comes with it and how important it is for women to pay attention to their mental health at this time of life.We also talk about why so many women feel dismissed by doctors, what real support should look like, and how to advocate for yourself during this chapter of life.It's validating, eye-opening, and incredibly grounding.It's an episode you don't want to miss.Thank You to Our Sponsors and Partners • RMA of New York — our Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Constantino's of Greenwich - our episode sponsor for the easiest dinners weeknights or weekends and don't miss their homemade ice cream that my kids BEG me for!

Joe, who lives in New York City, believes that Vincent from Brooklyn should speak out publicly to voters. He wants Vincent to explain why certain candidates could be dangerous choices for cities like NYC. Joe shares this idea with Mark. Jerry from Greenwich, Connecticut, wonders if there's a special “college” where Democrats can go to unlearn the habit of lying in politics and business, and to teach themselves to avoid spreading false information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robin Ince and Brian Cox wind up at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich – arguably the centre of time – to uncoil the mysteries of what time is and how on Earth (…and on moon) we keep track of it. Taking the time to join them are comedian Marcus Brigstocke, curator of the Royal Observatory Louise Devoy, and Head of the National Timing Centre Leon Lobo.From ancient Egyptian knuckle counting to sun dials, quartz oscillators and atomic clocks, the panel turns back time to discover how we measured and kept it throughout history. Together, they dial into why Greenwich has become such an important place for time and how time is synchronised and sold across the globe. They explore the flaws and future of accurate astronomical and atomic timekeeping, and Marcus blames the ‘leap second' for his fry-up failures.Producer: Olivia Jani Series Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production
