Het leek uit te draaien op een sprint van een uitgedunde groep in de twaalfde etappe van de Giro d'Italia, maar dat was buiten Alec Segaert gerekend. De Belg van Bahrain - Victorious plaatste op drie kilometer van de streep een geniale jump en het peloton zag hem nooit meer terug. In een nieuwe In Het Wiel heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs over de actie van Segeaert. Hoe kwam hij erbij om op dit punt aan te vallen? En waarom was dat moment zo perfect gekozen? De ploegen die de hele dag hadden gereden om er een zo selectief mogelijke etappe van te maken, waren toen net van de voorposten verdwenen. Hadden zij het misschien net iets anders moeten aanpakken? Of was de tactiek prima en dit het risico wat daarbij hoorde? En wat gaat er toch mis bij Lidl - Trek? We bespreken het allemaal in deze aflevering. Luisteren maar!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
De Hondius, het cruiseschip met de passagiers die (mogelijk) besmet zijn met het hantavirus, meerde gisteren aan op Tenerife, waarna de passagiers naar hun thuisland vlogen met speciale vluchten. Acht Nederlanders kwamen aan in Eindhoven en moeten nu zes weken in quarantaine. Ondertussen pakten de media de afgelopen week groots uit met dit verhaal. "Het doet me heel erg denken aan het gedrag van de media in coronatijd", vertelt politiek commentator Kees Boonman. "Ik zie dat journalisten appelleren aan het gevoel van angst." Tahrim Ramdjan vindt het juist "vrij logisch" dat mensen er meer over willen weten. "Het is met covid ook ooit begonnen met één patiënt. Ik vind niet dat er te hijgerig verslag over is gedaan." Hij wil eerder focussen op het gegeven dat er nieuwe pandemieën aan zullen komen, zoals viroloog Marion Koopmans ook benadrukte. "Zijn we dan voldoende voorbereid? Volgens mij is het antwoord nee."

Kimi Antonelli wint opnieuw. De negentienjarige Italiaan dendert door het seizoen alsof niemand hem kan stoppen. Maar Miami liet ook wat anders zien. Max Verstappen meldt zich ineens weer vooraan het veld en McLaren was er ook weer bij. Plotseling leek alles dichter op elkaar gepakt dan weken geleden. Zijn de kaarten echt opnieuw geschud na de technische aanpassingen? Of hebben zij gewoon goed hun huiswerk gedaan tijdens de voorjaarsstop? Dat en meer bespreken we met verslaggever Frank Woestenburg vanuit de paddock in Miami.

Nostalgie bij De Loodzware Jongens - Radioheld no. 2 van de "Big 4".Hadden we enkele weken de legendarische Hanneke Kappen in de show hebben we deze keer Kees Baars , gewoon omdat wij dat doen.Een naam die bij veel rock- en metal liefhebbers direct resoneert. Al sinds de jaren '80 is hij actief als radiomaker, muziekjournalist, manager en onvermoeibare ambassadeur van het hardere genre. Met programma's waarin hij bands een podium gaf nog vóór ze doorbraken, drukte hij zijn stempel op de Nederlandse rock- en metalscene. Zijn liefde voor muziek vertaalde zich ook naar bandmanagement en vriendschappen met de grote namen in genoemde scene r ook naar het schrijven. Met als resultaat, naast tal van interviews en stukken in bladen als Oor, ook zijn boekenreeks Ouwe Pik. Hiervan is inmiddels deel twee verschenen is—een bundel vol verhalen, observaties en een flinke dosis zelfspot uit een leven in muziek.Voor ons hoort hij thuis in het rijtje der groten, de Big 4 uit de 80s zeg maar naast Kees' vriend Alfred Lagarde, Henk Westbroek en Hanneke Kappen—de stemmen die het fundament legden voor rock en metal op de Nederlandse radio.Tijdens zijn bezoek aan De Loodzware Jongens in dB's werd het dan ook een uitzending zoals je hoopt dat ‘ie wordt: vol sterke verhalen, anekdotes uit de oude doos. Uiteraard kwam ook zijn nieuwste boek Ouwe Pik 2 uitgebreid voorbij.En zoals altijd stond ook de loodzware crew op scherp: Ernst Acherman had zich zichtbaar stevig voorbereid, Rick Bouwman haalde ( een tip van een luisteraar) zijn galopje van stal, en Rutger van Noordenburg regelde natuurlijk een mooie prijs voor de luisteraars—een gesigneerd exemplaar van Ouwe Pik. Beantwoord daarvoor de volgende vraag: Wat is het meest stompzinnige onderwerp waar je ooit een lied over hebt gehoord?Met chauffeur en vriend Edu van Hasselt aan Kees zijn zijde en Bas Bas 'Sjerruf' Aldenzee als scherpe chaperone die ook nog even de concertagenda meenam, werd het een uitzending die alles had: historie, humor en pure liefde voor de Nederlandse rock en metal muziek .
Tim Hadden's new book, “Dust & Glory” traces the story of regeneration from Eden to eternity, revealing how Scripture presents not only the fall of humanity but the promise of cosmic renewal in Christ.

In aflevering 224 van FC Mediacircus vliegen de onderwerpen weer alle kanten op, maar we hebben weer wat antwoorden paraat. We openen met een gelijkspel op het tennisveld en Jos die aanschuift bij marketinggoeroe Mark Ritson (want daar wordt hij blij van). Na de intro bellen we direct met Rob Jansen. Bouwt hij stiekem aan een media-imperium? En hoe zou zijn ultieme club eruitzien als hij het op marketinggebied voor het zeggen had?Daarna duiken we in een stevige stelling: heeft het vrouwenvoetbal niet wat vaker een echte start-up-mentaliteit nodig? Vanuit lef en ondernemerschap kijken we naar de kansen én de obstakels binnen de sport liggen. En rustig bouwen. Ook AZ komt voorbij, want in Alkmaar liggen ambitie en grootheidswaanzin soms gevaarlijk dicht bij elkaar. Een beetje flauw want die wijs...leuke directeur van AZ was prima op TV. Tot slot hebben we het over Steven Berghuis. Verfrissend om hem zo open en scherp te horen, al blijft de vraag: waarom kwam dat geluid niet tien jaar eerder? En Bas neemt natuurlijk weer iets bijzonders mee: Football Island.

Send us Fan MailIn deze aflevering van Soul Session gaat psycholoog Huibrecht Boluijt in gesprek met arts en levenscoach Alexander van Walraven. Alexander is vooral bekend van de Corona periode, waarin hij pal stond voor z'n artseneed en daardoor, ondanks dat hij en z'n collega's vele levens redden, in aanraking kwam met het systeem; de inspectie van de volksgezondheid, de NHG, zelfs de NCTV én bijzonder genoeg ook veel collega's die niets ophadden met de in hun ogen afvallige artsen. Hij is open over zijn ideeën over machtsstructuren en de mate waarin de samenleving dom en volgzaam wordt gehouden. Maar ook over zijn persoonlijke leven spreekt hij vrijuit.Hij raakt bevlogen wanneer hij komt te spreken over synchroniciteit en hoe een bovennatuurlijke ervaring die zijn leven compleet veranderde. Tot tranen toe geroerd deelt hij in dat verband een wonderlijke ervaring. Een gesprek met een mooie en warme mens. Over rechtvaardigheid en liefde in een wereld waarin het kwaad altijd loert.Support the showWaardeer je deze video('s)?

Nog geen twee weken heeft het geduurd. Unilever is al van de voedingstak af. Het bedrijf zette het in de verkoop omdat het niet genoeg opleverde. Maar het Amerikaanse McCormick zag wel toekomst in merken als Calvé, Hellmann's en Knorr. Via een moeilijke constructie nemen ze het van Unilever over. Maar betekent de korte onderhandeling dat Unilever de kantjes ervanaf heeft gelopen? Hadden ze veel meer uit deze deal kunnen halen? Dat zoeken we in deze aflevering uit? Verder hebben we het over de trieste beursmaand die we achter ons hebben. Door de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten donderden koersen wereldwijd naar beneden. In Amerika daalden de Dow Jones en de Nasdaq zelfs het correctie-gebied in. Hoe lang gaat het duren voordat die schade weer hersteld is? Daarbij kijken we ook nog naar de eerste inflatiecijfers. Die vallen nog mee, maar voorspellen wel een pijnlijke paar kwartalen op komst. Je hoort nog hoe één uitspraak van de topman van een chipmaker een derde van z'n beurskoers liet verdampen. En waarom aandeelhouders van verfmaker AkzoNobel op de barricades klimmen. Te gast: Han Dieperink, CIO bij Auréus. BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij BNR Zakendoen en de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML.

Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.Next, they fume over the murder of a college student near Loyola University in Chicago, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant.

Hij is misschien wel de grootste straatkunstenaar ter wereld, maar de identiteit van Banksy was jarenlang een mysterie. Omdat de man geen aandacht op zichzelf wilde vestigen, maar ook omdat zijn kunstwerken meestal zonder toestemming werden geplaatst.

Today, Lost Shore has been voted Best Surf Park in the World for Customer Experience and Most Innovative Surf Park, competing against nearly 40 surf parks globally.Andy shares the full story behind the project — from early career setbacks and raising the first £40,000, to securing institutional investment and navigating the enormous challenges of building something that had never been done in Scotland before.This episode is packed with lessons on entrepreneurship, persistence, fundraising, and how a passion project can evolve into a global-scale business.⭐ Episode Highlights
This special archive episode takes us back to summer 2020, when Steve Mellor interviewed Alison Hadden for his Women Changing the World series. What he only learned afterward was that Alison had found out just one day earlier that her cancer had returned and was terminal. She never mentioned it during the conversation. Instead, she spoke with clarity, strength, and intention about leadership, resilience, and living like there is no time to waste.Alison passed away in January 2022, but her message continues to inspire anyone seeking to live with more purpose, courage, and gratitude.About the Guest: Alison Hadden was a sales and marketing leader, athlete, and founder of the No Time to Waste Project. She built her career at high-growth companies including Active, Glassdoor, and Mindbody, and became known for her energy, leadership, and purpose-driven approach to life. After facing cancer, she turned her experience into a mission to help others live with greater gratitude, joy, and urgency.About the EpisodeSteve revisits a conversation first released when the podcast was still called Career Competitor. Part of the Women Changing the World series, this interview stands out for Alison's remarkable presence and perspective in the face of devastating news.Rather than focusing on her diagnosis, Alison shared a message that still resonates: live with intention, lead with courage, and don't waste time on what doesn't matter.Key Takeaways:Leadership through adversityThe athlete mindset in business and lifeGrit, resilience, and perspectiveCancer, identity, and transformationGratitude, joy, and human connectionLiving with urgency and intentionLinks and ResourcesNo Time to Waste Projectnotimetowasteproject.comSend a textSupport the showConnect with Steve Mellor Stay connected and keep growing with Steve: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellor Book Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.com Support the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163 Connect with GrowthReady Join the community and keep your growth journey going: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellor Official Website - https://growthready.com/ ---- This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...
Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld der videogames. Het is woensdag en dus de dag dat Boris vaak aan de desk aanschuift om samen met JJ het nieuws door te nemen. Zo ook nu. Zo meldde Wildlight Entertainment dat ze op 12 maart aanstaande de stekker uit Highguard gaan trekken. Ruim een maand na de launch. Hadden de twee heren dit aan zien komen en waarom heeft de studio in kwestie niet getracht om de boel toch nog te keren? Het is sommige andere live service games immers wel gelukt. Dit onderwerp en een aantal andere topics zie en hoor je in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 4 maart 2026.Highguard moet na dik een maand de servers al dicht gooienDe twee praten verder over een nieuwe oude variant van Battle Royale die vanaf 13 maart aan Warzone wordt toegevoegd. We hebben het over Black Ops Royale. Wat houdt deze variant in en denkt Boris dat deze mode de dalende tendens aan spelers van Warzone gaat stoppen? Het antwoord krijg je in deze video. Evenals het antwoord op de vraag wat de twee vinden van een nieuw patent van Microsoft dat AI jouw game laat overnemen als je vastzit of iets te moeilijk wordt. Tof of te belachelijk voor woorden?Gaat een ouderwetse Battle Royale mode Warzone meer spelers bezorgen?Er wordt in deze vodcast ook gesproken over de aparte keuze van Twitch voor het te spelen spel tijdens International Women's Day. De game in kwestie wordt op die dag gespeeld door vrouwelijke streamers. Het regende trollposts, kritiek en boze reacties na de bekendmaking van de titel. Wat is er aan de hand en om welke game gaat het? De twee spreken tot slot over het gerucht dat Polyphony Digital begonnen is met de ontwikkeling van een nieuw deel van Gran Turismo. Gaat die voor de PS5 of PS6 gemaakt worden?
“Zo ben ik nou eenmaal.” Dat is vaak gewoon lui denken.Veel mensen geloven dat hun karakter, gezondheid of gedrag vastligt in hun genen. Maar volgens epigeneticus Maarten Fornerod klopt dat maar voor een deel. Je DNA is misschien een vaste code — maar de manier waarop die code wordt afgelezen verandert voortdurend.In deze podcast duiken we in epigenetica: de laag bovenop je DNA die bepaalt welke genen aan of uit staan. Stress, voeding, beweging, zonlicht, trauma en zelfs je gedachten kunnen invloed hebben op die schakelaars. Met andere woorden: je genen zijn niet je lot.We bespreken ook een populair idee dat trauma's generaties lang via DNA worden doorgegeven — en waarom de wetenschap daar veel genuanceerder over denkt.Daarnaast gaan we in op een controversieel onderwerp: de snelle ontwikkeling van de COVID-vaccins, de mRNA-techniek en waarom daarin ook DNA-fragmenten zitten. Wat betekent dat biologisch? Wat kan hiermee veranderd worden op DNA niveau? En weten we eigenlijk al wat de lange termijn effecten zijn?Een gesprek over biologie, vrijheid, verantwoordelijkheid en de vraag:hoeveel invloed heb jij werkelijk op het veranderen van jouw lichaam & geest?⏳ Hoofdstukken0:00 Introductie5:42 Wat is epigenetica9:30 Wat is DNA?12:18 Met epigenetica je trauma's verwerken15:10 Waarom wel/geen drugs (psychedelica) nemen?17:48 Epigenetica wordt niet doorgegeven22:27 De gevolgen van ‘'wondermiddelen''25:30 Hoe je angststoornis behandelt30:31 Hoe trauma's worden doorgegeven40:04 Het gevolg van de coronaprik46:13 De vaccinaties waren een militair project51:00 Biowapens die eraan komen54:48 Hadden de vaccinaties invloed op genetica57:27 Het gevolg van Ozempic58:32 Wat betekent epigenetica in de praktijk?1:07:05 Tips voor epigenetische gezondheidHost: Sanae OrchiGast: Maarten Fornerod
Bij een grote natuurramp, een aanval door een ander land, of een pandemie moeten ziekenhuizen in een mum van tijd klaarstaan om grote aantallen patiënten op te vangen. In hoeverre zijn ziekenhuizen daarop voorbereid? En wat gebeurt er als het ziekenhuis zélf het doelwit is van een (cyber)aanval?

Het was een vruchtbare week voor SC Cambuur, met zeges op FC Eindhoven en TOP Oss. Steeds dichter kruipen de Leeuwarders richting de eindstreep: die felbegeerde promotie naar de eredivisie LC-journalist Jonathan Ploeg gaat met oud-Cambuurdoelman Wim de Ron (56), tevens voormalig keeperstrainer en interim-trainer van de club, in gesprek over de prestaties. Promotie kan de Leeuwarders nu niet meer ontgaan, toch? Aan bod komt onder andere Thijs Jansen. Is de doelman van Cambuur rijp voor de eredivisie? Ook de noodzaak om zo snel mogelijk te promoveren wordt besproken. Net als hét transfertarget voor komende zomer, volgens De Ron. Het gaat daarnaast ook over frustratie over de manier waarop Cambuur met oud-spelers omgaat, geldklopperij van de KNVB, het bestaan als taxichauffeur in Leeuwarden en omstreken en een bijzondere ervaring op het cv van De Ron. * Vragen voor in de podcast?

Gedoe bij Feyenoord en Ajax en ook qua geopolitiek is het onrustig. Hoogste tijd dus voor een vleugje optimisme in de vorm van Freek Jansen, hoofdredacteur van VI. Die heeft altijd wel de lente bij zich! We hebben twee vragen aan de echte voetbaljongen uit Leiden: wanneer gaan ze in Amsterdam en Rotterdam weer een beetje verstandige dingen doen?

Verder hebben we het over twee sportboeken die uitkwamen: eentje van Sherida Spitse en een van Daphe Schippers. Terwijl Schippers van alles vertelde, wilde Spitse niets zeggen bij De Perstribune. Niet handig, vindt Jos.Ook bespreken we de PR-campagne 'Echte mannen huilen' . Dat is goed gedaan, maar was het niet een beetje teveel?Verder gaat het over de Oracle-deal met Red Bull.

Though we live in a beautiful world, we don't have to look far to see that creation is groaning. And much of this groaning is under the weight of our sinful desires and actions. How can we as Christians be a force for the substantial healing of our sin stained world and become a blessing to Creation? This lecture will explore how the agrarian philosophy of Wendell Berry can help form us into the kind of stewards that creation longs for, and that God intended us to be, through the lens of Berry's most famous line of poetry: “Practice resurrection”.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, host Paul Marden speaks with Andy Hadden, founder of the Lost Shore Surf Resort in Scotland. Andy shares the remarkable journey from his sporting background and early property career to discovering wave technology in the Basque Country, which inspired him to bring inland surfing to Scotland. Despite starting with no money and no land, Andy raised over £100 million and built one of the world's most advanced inland surf destinations. He explains how Lost Shore Surf Resort combines world-class waves with a strong community focus, sustainability initiatives, and partnerships with schools and universities to deliver real social and economic impact.Skip the Queue is brought to you by Rubber Cheese, a digital agency that builds remarkable systems and websites for attractions that helps them increase their visitor numbers.

Opened in November 2024 near Edinburgh, Lost Shore is the country's largest sports infrastructure project since the Commonwealth Games and now attracts a truly international audience of surfers, families, and brands. With a background in insolvency and investment surveying, Andy led the venture from concept to completion - securing major institutional backing and building a multidisciplinary team to deliver a world-class destination. Long before 'ESG' was a buzzword, he embedded environmental and social value into Lost Shore's DNA, helping set new benchmarks for responsible development. As home to the Surf Lab with Edinburgh Napier University, Lost Shore also serves as a global hub for performance, product R&D, and surf therapy.

I'm your host, Paul Marden, and with my co-host Andy Povey and roving reporter Claire Furnival, we're coming to you from IAAPA Expo Europe. This is the first of three episodes from the show floor that will come to you over the next three days. Firstly, I'm joined today by Andy Hadden, the founder of Lost Shores Surf Resort.Paul Marden: Andy, tell us a little bit about your journey. You've opened this amazing attraction up there in Scotland where I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Tell us a little bit about that attraction. Why this and why in Scotland?Andy Hadden: Well, I grew up locally and I came from more of a sporting family than so much of a business family. My father was the international rugby coach for a while and I played a lot of sport. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Andy Hadden: Yeah, yeah. So we always had this thing about there wasn't enough facilities here in Scotland because Scotland is a place which doesn't necessarily have all the resources and the access to funds and everything else like that. But one thing we noted with, you know, if you created facilities, whether they be good tennis facilities, good 4G football pitches, whatever it was. It allowed the environment around it to prosper, the communities around it to prosper. And, of course, I was a charter surveyor by trade, so I worked in insolvency and then in investment. So I sold two sites to that market. Andy Hadden: But I always surfed. I always surfed. So whilst I was down in Birmingham in England, when I actually got an email in 2012 talking about some, you know, some surfy thing that might have been happening in Bristol, I called the head of destination consulting up and I said, 'this sounds like nonsense, to be honest', because I surf and you can't really be talking about real surfing waves here. It's got to be something, you know, different. He said, 'No, no, there's these guys in the Basque country.' So I took a flight over there and that day changed everything for me. Paul Marden: So what was it that you saw? Andy Hadden: I went to see what was back then a secret test facility in the mountains of the Basque Country. It was very cloak and dagger. I had to follow the guide and give me the email address. I found this all very exciting. When I went and actually saw this facility, I realised that for the decade before that, there'd been all these amazing minds, engineers and surfers working on what they believed could be, you know, a big future of not just the inland surfing movement that's now burgeoning into a multi-billion dollar global movement, but it could really affect surfing. And if it was going to affect surfing as a sport, and it's now an Olympic sport because of these facilities, they wanted to make sure that it was a very accessible piece of kit. So surfing, it could affect surfing if ran by the right people in the right ways and really communicate that stoke of the sport to the masses.Paul Marden: So what is it that you've built in Edinburgh then? Tell me a little bit about it.Andy Hadden: So we've delivered a wave garden cove, which is a 52-module wave garden, which is about the size of three football pitches, and it can run hundreds of waves an hour, touch of a button and it can run in skiing parlance anything from green runs right through to sort of black powder runs. And the beauty of it is you can have people that are the better surfers out the back and just like at the beach at the front you've got their kids and learning how to surf on the white water. So we're finding it to be a really amazing experience— not just for surfers who are obviously flocking to us, but already here in Scotland, eight months in, tens of thousands of new surfers are all coming back and just going, 'Wow, we've got this thing on our doorstep.' This is blowing our minds, you know. Paul Marden: Wowzers, wowzers. Look, I'm guessing that the infrastructure and the technology that you need to be able to create this kind of inland wave centre is key to what you're doing. That you've got to access some funds, I guess, to be able to do this. This is not a cheap thing for you to be able to put together, surely.Andy Hadden: Yeah, correct. I mean, you know, I have questioned my own sanity at times. But when I started 10 years ago, I had no money and no land. But I did have some property expertise and I wanted to do it in Edinburgh, a close-up place that I cared about. So we have excellent networks. For a few years, you know. Whilst we've ended up raising over £100 million in structured finance from a standing start, it took me a couple of years just to raise £40,000. And then I used that to do some quite bizarre things like flying everyone that I cared about, you know, whether they were from the surf community or... Community stakeholders, politicians, and everyone over to the test facility to see themselves— what I could see to sort of—well, is it? Am I just getting carried away here? Or is there something in this? And then, on top of that, you know, we sponsored the world's first PhD in surf therapy with that first $5,000. So now we have a doctor in surf therapy who now takes me around the world to California and all these places. How does business actually really genuinely care about, you know, giving back? And I'm like, yeah, because we said we're going to do this once.Andy Hadden: We got to do it right. And it took us a decade. But yeah, we raised the money and we're very happy to be open.Paul Marden: So I mentioned a minute ago, I was holidaying in Scotland. I bookended Edinburgh— both sides of the holiday. And then I was in Sky for a few days as well. There's something about Edinburgh at the moment. There is a real energy. Coming up as a tourist, there was way too much for me to be able to do. It seems to be a real destination at the moment for people.Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, I think, coming from the background I came from, if I knew I was going to deliver a surfing park in the edge of Edinburgh, I then wanted to do it in the least risky way possible. So to do that, I felt land ownership was key and three business plans was also very key. Edinburgh's in need of accommodation regardless, and Edinburgh's also in need of good places, a good F&B for friends and family just to go and hang out on the weekends. And then, of course, you have the surfing, and we've got a big wellness aspect too. We also sit next to Europe's largest indoor climbing arena. And we're obviously very well connected in the centre of Scotland to both Edinburgh and Scotland. So, so many things to do. So, yeah, I mean, the Scottish tourism landscape has always been good, but it's just getting better and better as we see this as a future-proof marketplace up here. You know, we're not building ships anymore.Andy Hadden: Well, in fact, we got a contract the other week to build one, so maybe that's wrong. But the point is, we see it as a very future-proof place because the Americans are flagging, the Europeans are flagging, and they just want to feel like they're part of something very Scottish. And that's what we've tried to do in our own special way.Paul Marden: And when you think of coming to Scotland, of course, you think about surfing, don't you? Andy Hadden: Yes, who knows. Paul Marden: Exactly, exactly. Look, you had some recent high-profile support from Jason Connery, the son of the late James Bond actor Sean Connery. How did that come about?Andy Hadden: Well, I think we've got, there's a real Scottish spirit of entrepreneurialism that goes back, you know, probably right the way through to the Enlightenment where, you know, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of you know how many inventions came from Scotland. And this is, you know, televisions, telephones, penicillin. I mean, just the list goes on.Andy Hadden: Of course, you know, that was a long, long time ago, but we still feel a lot of pride in that. But there seems to be a lot of people who've had success in our country, like someone like Sir Sean Connery. These guys are still very proud of that. So when they see something— very entrepreneurial— where we're using a lot of local businesses to create something bigger than the sum of its parts. And to do it truly— not just to be a profitable private business, which is what it is, but to give back 18 million into local economy every year, to work with schools in terms of getting into curriculums. We've got Surf Lab. We work with universities, charities, and so on. They really want to support this stuff. So we have over 50 shareholders, and they've each invested probably for slightly different reasons. They all have to know that their money is a good bet, but I think they all want to feel like they're part of creating a recipe. For a surf resort, which we believe there'll be hundreds of around the world in the next few years. And we can create that recipe here in Scotland. That's hopefully another example of Scottish innovation and entrepreneurialism.Paul Marden: So you've got the test bed that happened in the Basque Country. You've got Scotland now. Are there surf resorts like this elsewhere in the world?Andy Hadden: Yeah, there are eight other open in the world. There's actually, there's various technologies. So there's about 25 different surf parks open at the moment. But there's... doesn't under construction. Pharrell Williams has just opened one in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago there in America. And what the equity, I think, is looking at quite rightly, the big equity, you know, the type that go right, if this really is a, you know, kind of top golfing steroids in that property developers can look at them as.Andy Hadden: You know, excellent ways to get through their more standardised property place, residential, office, industrial. Usually they have to do that in a kind of loss-leading way. But if you look at this as a leisure attraction, which councils and cities actually want because of the benefits, and it makes you money, and it increases the prices of your residential around it. I think developers are starting to realise there's a sweet spot there. So the equity, the big equity, I think, is about to drop in this market over the next couple of years. And it's just waiting for the data set to enable them to do that.Paul Marden: Wow. I guess there's an environmental impact to the work that you do, trying to create any big... a big project like this is going to have some sort of environmental impact. You've put in place an environmental sustainability strategy before it was mainstream as it is now. Tell us some of the things that you've put in place to try to address that environmental impact of what you're doing.Andy Hadden: Well, we're in a disused quarry. So it was a brownfield site. So already just by building on it and creating an immunity, we're also adding to the biodiversity of that site. And we're obviously there's no escaping the fact that we're a user of energy. There's just no escaping that. So the reality is we've got as much sustainable energy use as we can from air source heat pumps to solar. And we're looking at a solar project. So it becomes completely self-sustaining. But we also, the electricity we do access from the grid is through a green tariff. But you'll see a lot of the resorts around the world, this is going to become the sort of, the main play is to become sort of sustainable in that sense. Where we really fly is with the S and ESG. And like you say, the reason we were the world's first institutionally backed wave park, of course, we like to think it was purely down to our financials. But the reality is, they started saying, 'Wow, you're as authentic an ESG company as we've come across.'Andy Hadden: And it's the same with our mission-based national bank. So, because we didn't really know what that meant, we just knew it was the right thing to do. So we fit squarely into that ESG category, which I know is a tick box for a lot of funds, let's face it. There's a lot of them that really want to do that. There's a lot of investors out there that want to do it. But let's understand our place in the system, which is we're really market leading in that area. And I think that's very attractive for a lot of funds out there. But the S in ESG is where we really fly with all the work we're doing socially around the site.Paul Marden: So talk to me a little bit about that. How are you addressing that kind of the social responsibility piece?Andy Hadden: Well, two examples would be we're not just looking at schools to come here to surf. That's an obvious one. They'll go to any attraction to surf if you could go to Laser Quest, go up to visit the castle, do whatever. But we reverse engineered it. We got schools coordinated to go around the headmasters and the schools and say, 'Well, Look, you're all teaching STEM, science, technology, engineering, maths, for 9 to 13-year-olds. And you're all looking for outdoor learning now, which is definitely a big part of the future in education in general. Can you allow us to create some modules here? So we've got six modules that actually fit into that STEM strategy. For instance, last week, there was a school in learning physics, but they were using surf wax on a surfboard friction.Paul Marden: Amazing.Andy Hadden: So these kids so it works for schools and headmasters which is very important and for parents and it obviously works for the kids and they love it and the reason we do that and we give that it's all at discounted low times and everything is because it's a numbers game they come back at the weekend and so on so that's example one and another would be we've created a surf lab with Napier University, a higher education. So we sponsored the world's first doctor. It got a PhD in surf therapy, but then the university was like, 'hold on a minute, you know, this is good marketing for us as well'.Andy Hadden: This surf lab, which has the infrastructure to host great competitions, but also PhD students can come down and learn engineering. They can learn sustainable energy. So we've got more PhD students working there. And this higher university collaboration has not only led to Alder kids coming down but other universities in the area are now what can we do with lost shore now that's cool and fun so we're working with the other universities in town too so that's a couple of examples alongside the standard, employing local people and actually having the economics of putting money into the local economy.Paul Marden: It's interesting, isn't it? Because... So for many people, ESG, and especially the social responsibility piece, feels a little bit worthy. It feels an altruistic move for the organisation to go and do those things. But you've hit on the quid pro quo what do you get back for doing all of this stuff well you're bringing in these kids you're enriching their learning, you're helping them to learn valuable skills but you're also giving them a taster of what life is like at the the resort and seeing the benefit of the return visits that flow from that is crazy.Andy Hadden: You know, I like to think we've fought as hard as anyone to ingrain this stuff in your DNA because we're year one. And of course, we have our cash flow difficulties like everyone does. You know, you don't know how to... run the place for the first three months or that's what it feels like even though you've done all this preparation and so on and so forth but at no point does anyone turn around and go let's get rid of the schools program let's get rid of the university partnership and that's why i think it's very important to build it into your dna because it doesn't have to be this zero-sum game that people attribute you know or we're giving here so that means we have to take over here it's like there's cute ways to do everything you can do the right thing but also drive traffic for your business and it's very good right. It's good reputation, because the people that stay there, when they see that we're doing this stuff, they feel like they're part of it, and then they want to book again. So I believe it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, but it is a different way of creating a business— that's for sure.Paul Marden: For sure. So there's going to be a listener out there, I'm sure, with a crazy idea like you had a few years ago. What advice would you give for somebody just starting out thinking of opening a business in the leisure and attraction sector?Andy Hadden: I would just try your best to make it as simple as possible. I think it was Yves Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who said, 'One of the hardest things in life is to make it simple. It's so easy to make it complex.' And when you're dealing with a business plan, it's very exciting, right? Well, what if we get into this market? What if we do this? And splitting it all into those components. I think arm yourself with very good people around you. They don't even have to be part of the company. If you've been a good person in your life, I'm sure you've got friends who you can tap into. Everyone knows an architect. Everyone knows an accountant. Everyone knows a lawyer. You're a friend of a friend. Andy Hadden: And I think just overload yourself with as much information to get you to the point where you can be assertive with your own decisions. Because at the end of the day, it's going to come down to you making your own decisions. And if you've got a very clear path of what success and failure looks like, understanding that it ain't going to look like your business plan. As long as it's got the broad shapes of where you want to go, it can get you out of bed every day to try and make things happen. So, yeah, just go for it. Really, that's it.Paul Marden: See where it takes you. So look, in the world of themed entertainment, we talk a lot about IP and storytelling and creating magical experiences. Are any of these concepts relevant to a destination like yours?Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, you know, technically, from an IP perspective, you know, we're using the WaveGround Cove technology. You know, we've purchased that. So from a strictly business perspective, you know, we have access to their sort of IP in that sense and we deliver that. But I think for us, the IP is the destination. It's so unique, it's so big that it becomes defendable at scale. So it does sound like a bit of an all-in poker hand. But it would be more risky to go half in because these things are very hard to build. But when they are built, they're also very hard to compete with. So as long as your customer experience is good enough. You're going to maintain a kind of exclusivity in your locality for long into the future. So, yeah, there's obviously IP issues in terms of technologies. But for us, it was all about creating a destination with three business plans that's greater than the sum of its parts. And if we can do that in our location, then it's very hard to compete against, I would say.Paul Marden: Andy, it sounds like such an exciting journey that you've been on. And one year in, that journey has still got a long way to play out, doesn't it? You must be on quite the rollercoaster. Well, surfing quite a wave at the moment, if I don't mix my metaphors so badly.Andy Hadden: Yeah, we're just entering maybe the penultimate phase of the sort of 20-year plan. You know, we've gone through our early stages, our fundraising, our construction. We've gone through the very hard sort of like getting the team together and opening year one. And we're just starting to go, 'OK, we understand we've got data now'. We understand how to run this place now. So I think we now want to push through to stabilise the next two or three years. And then hopefully we've got a lot of irons in the fire globally as well. Hopefully we can go to the next phase, but we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario, I just surf a bit more and try and enjoy my lot.Paul Marden: Well, Andy, it's been lovely talking to you. I've been really interested to hear what you've been up to. This was only a short snippet of an interview. I reckon there's some more stories for you to tell once you're into year two. So I'd love for you to come back and we'll do a full-on interview once you've got year two under your belt. How's that sound to you?Andy Hadden: Absolutely, Paul, and thanks very much for the platform.Paul Marden: Next up, let's hear from some of the exhibitors on the floor. Bakit.Paul Marden: Introduce yourself for me, please, and tell me a little bit about where you're from.Bakit Baydaliev: We have two companies located in Turkey, Istanbul, and Los Angeles, USA. We develop attractions, equipment, but not just equipment— also software, AI, and content, games, and movies. Paul Marden: Oh, wow. So you're here at IAPA. This is my very first morning of my very first IAAPA. So it's all very overwhelming for me. Tell me, what is it that you're launching at IAAPA today?Bakit Baydaliev: Today we're launching our bestseller, Hurricane. It's a coaster simulator. In addition to that, we're also launching a special immersive tunnel, Mars Odyssey. We're sending people to Mars, we're sending people to space, and the story, of course, may change. After you install the attractions, you always can create different kinds of content for this attraction. It's completely immersive and what is very unique for this attraction is edutainment. Theme parks, science centres, space centres, and museums all benefit from it. It's not just to show and entertain, but also educate and provide a lot of useful information for people. Paul Marden: So what would you say is unique about this? Bakit Baydaliev: There are several factors. First of all, it's equipment. We have a very special software that amazingly synchronizes with the content and it doesn't create motion sickness at all. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Bakit Baydaliev: This is very important. Independently on the speeds, which is... We have very high speeds in our simulators. In addition to that, we have special effects, unusual effects, which feel like cold, heat, sounds.Paul Marden: So it is truly 4D, isn't it?Bakit Baydaliev: Completely. In addition to that, it's interactive content. It's not just the content which you can sit and... watch and entertain yourself and get a lot of useful information, but also you can interact. You can play games, you can shoot, you can interact. And of course, the most important thing which makes this attraction innovative is the educational aspect.Paul Marden: I find that really interesting that you could see this ride at a theme park, but similarly you can see it as an educational exhibit at a science centre or space centre. I think that's very interesting.Bakit Baydaliev: Very, very. Especially, you know, the standard experience for space centres, science centres, and especially museums, it's just walking around, touch some stuff. Some you may not even touch it. It's exponents which you can watch, you can read, it's very nice. But it's even better when you let people live it in real with a nice simulation atmosphere environment, like immersive tunnel.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Bekit, thank you so much for joining us on Skip the Queue, and I look forward to enjoying one of the rides.Bakit Baydaliev: Please ride, and you will be amazed.Hamza Saber: My name is Hamza. I work for TÜV SUD Germany. Our main job is to make sure attractions are safe, parks are safe. We do everything from design review to initial examination of rides, to yearly checks and making sure that we push the standards and the norm to the next level and cover everything that comes in new in the industry as well to make sure this industry stays safe and enjoyable for people. Paul Marden: It's so important though, isn't it? At an event like this, you don't have a sexy stand with lots of really cool rides to experience, but what you do is super important.Hamza Saber: Yes, I guess it's not one of the big colourful booths, but it's at the heart of this industry. It's in the background. If you look at the program for the education, there is a lot of safety talks. There is a lot of small groups talking about safety, trying to harmonise norms as well. Because if you look at the world right now, we have the EN standards. We have the American standards and we're working right now to try to bring them closer together so it's as easy and safe and clear for all manufacturers and operators to understand what they need to do to make sure that their guests are safe at the end of the day.Paul Marden: So Hamza, there's some really cool tech that you've got on the stand that's something new that you've brought to the stand today. So tell us a little bit about that.Hamza Saber: So as you can see, we have one of the drones right here and the video behind you. So we're trying to include new technologies to make it easier, faster, and more reliable to do checks on big structures like this or those massive buildings that you usually see. You can get really, really close with the new technologies, the drones with the 4K cameras, you can get very, very precise. We're also working on AI to train it to start getting the first round of inspections done using AI. And just our expert to focus on the most important and critical aspects. So we're just going to make it faster, more reliable.Paul Marden: So I guess if you've got the drone, that means you don't have to walk the entire ride and expect it by eye?Hamza Saber: No, we still have to climb. So what we do is more preventive using the drones. So the drones, especially with the operators, they can start using them. And if they notice something that does not fit there, we can go and look at it. But the actual yearly inspections that are accepted by the governments, you still need to climb, you still need to check it yourself. So the technology is not right there yet, but hopefully we're going to get there. Paul Marden: We're a long way away from the robots coming and taking the safety engineer's job then. Hamza Saber: Yes, exactly. And they don't think they're going to come take our jobs anytime soon. Using technology hands-in-hands with our expertise, that's the future.Paul Marden: It must be so exciting for you guys because you have to get involved in all of these projects. So you get to see the absolute tippy top trends as they're coming towards you.Hamza Saber: Yeah, for sure. Like we're always three years before the public knowledge. So it's exciting to be behind the scene a little bit and knowing what's going on. We're seeing some really fun and creative ideas using AI to push the attractions industry to the next level. So I'm excited to see any new rides that will be published or announced at some point this week.Paul Marden: Very cool. Look, Hamza, it's been lovely to meet you. Thanks for coming on Skip the Queue.Hamza Saber: Yeah, thank you so much.Kristof Van Hove: My name is Kristof. I live in Belgium. I'm working for the Tomorrowland group already now for three years, especially on the leisure part.Paul Marden: Tell listeners a little bit about Tomorrowland because many of our listeners are attraction owners and operators. They may not be familiar with Tomorrowland.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, so Tomorrowland is already 20 years, I think, one of the number one festivals in the world. Actually, already for the last years, always the number one in the world. And what makes us special is that we are not just a festival, but we are a community. We create. special occasions for people and it starts from the moment that they buy their tickets till the festival we make a special feeling that people like and I think we create a world and each year we work very hard on new team that goes very deep so not only making a festival but we go very deep in our branding not only with our main stage but we also make a book about it we make gadgets about it so it's a completely.Paul Marden: Wow. Help listeners to understand what it is that you're doing new here at the moment. You're blending that festival experience, aren't you, into attractions.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, that's right. So because we are already 20 years on the market building IP, the more and more we really are able to create a complete experience, not only the IP as a brand, but also all the things around it. We have our own furniture. We have our own plates. We create actually all elements that are needed to build a leisure industry project. And that makes it magnificent. I think we are capable now, with everything that we do in-house, to set up and to facilitate water park and attraction park projects completely. Paul Marden: So, have you got any attractions that are open at the moment? Kristof Van Hove: Well, we have the Ride to Happiness, of course, the coaster that is built in Plopsaland three years ago. That is already now for five years the number one steel coaster in Europe and the fifth steel coaster in the world. So this is a project we are very proud of. Besides that, we have already a lot of immersive experiences. And we are constructing now a secret project that will be announced in the beginning of next year somewhere in Europe.Paul Marden: Give us a little sneak peek what that might look like.Kristof Van Hove: It's not that far from here. Okay, okay, excellent. So it's more an outdoor day project that we are constructing. That for sure will be something unique. Excellent.Paul Marden: So look, you're already planning into 2026. Help listeners to understand what the future might look like. What trends are you seeing in the sector for next year?Kristof Van Hove: Well, I think more and more the people expect that they get completely a deep dive into branding. I don't think that people still want to go to non-IP branded areas. They want to have the complete package from the moment that they enter. They want to be immersed. With everything around it, and they want a kind of a surrounding, and they want to have the feeling that they are a bit out of their normal life, and a deep dive in a new environment. And I think this is something that we try to accomplish. Paul Marden: Wow.David Jungmann: David Jungman, I'm the Director of Business Development here at Accesso, based in Germany. I'm super excited to be here at IAPA in Barcelona. We're exhibiting our whole range of solutions from ticketing to point of sale to virtual queuing to mobile apps. And one of the features we're calling out today is our Accesso Pay 3.0 checkout flow, which streamlines donations, ticket insurance, relevant payment types by region on a single simple one-click checkout page.Paul Marden: What impact does that have on customers when they're presented with that simple one-click checkout?David Jungmann: Well, as you guys know, conversion rate is super important. The number of clicks in an e-commerce environment is super important. And because we're at IAAPA Europe, we've got guests here from all over Europe. Different regions require different payment types. And it's important to not overload a checkout page with like eight different types for, let's say, German guests, Dutch guests, Belgium guests, is to be able to only offer what's relevant and to keep it short and sweet. And then rolling in additional features like donations, ticket insurance and gift cards, stuff like that.Paul Marden: Amazing. So get your crystal ball out and think about what the world in 2026 is going to be like.David Jungmann: I think this year was a little bit soft in terms of performance for the parks, certainly in Europe, what we've seen. I think what that will mean is that maybe some will consider, you know, really big capex investments. But what that also means is they will get creative. So I envision a world where, instead of buying new protocols for 20 million, maybe some operators will start thinking about how can we make more out of what we've got with less, right? How can we be really creative? And I think there's a lot to uncover next year for us to see.Paul Marden: Sweating their assets maybe to be able to extend what they do without that big CapEx project.David Jungmann: Yes, how can we keep innovating? How can we keep our experience fresh? Without just buying something very expensive straight away. And I think that's what we see.Paul Marden: What is going to be innovating for Xesso and the market that you serve?David Jungmann: Well, for us, it's really about that streamlined, consistent guest experience, but also tying into things like immersive experiences, right, where you could maybe change the overlay of an attraction and feed in personalised information that you have for your visitors and collect it during you know the booking flow when they enter the venue and feeding that into the actual experience i think that's something i'm excited about.Paul Marden: I think that there is a missed opportunity by so many attractions. There's so much data that we build and we collect the data, but oftentimes we don't bring it together into a central place and then figure out the ways in which we want to use it. There's so much more you can do with that rich data, isn't there?David Jungmann: 100% exactly. And I don't just mean from a marketing perspective. I mean from an actual experience perspective. Let's say you ride through Dark Ride and all of a sudden your name pops up or your favorite character pops up and waves hello to you. That's the type of stuff you want to do, not just market the hell out of it.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Look, David, it's been so good to meet you. Thank you ever so much. And yeah, thank you for joining Skip the Queue. David Jungmann: Thanks, Paul. Have a great day at the show. Paul Marden: Isn't it great? I mean, we have got such an amazing job, haven't we? To be able to come to a place like this and be able to call this work.David Jungmann: Absolute privilege. Yes, absolutely.Paul Marden: Now, before we wrap up, Andy and I wanted to have a little chat about what we've seen today and what we've enjoyed. Why don't we sit down? You have clearly returned to your tribe. Is there a person in this place that doesn't actually know you?Andy Povey: There's loads. I've been doing the same thing for 30 years. Paul Marden: Yeah, this ain't your first radio, is it? Andy Povey: I'm big and I'm loud, so I'd stand out in a crowd. I mean, there are all fantastic things that I should put on my CV. But this is really where I feel at home. This industry continues to blow me away. We're here, we're talking to competitors, we're talking to potential customers, we're talking to previous customers, we're talking to people that we've worked with, and it's just all so friendly and so personally connected. I love it.Paul Marden: It has been awesome. I've really enjoyed it. Although I'm beginning to get into the Barry White territory of my voice because it's quite loud on the show floor, isn't it? Andy Povey: It is. It's actually quieter than previous shows, so I don't know why, and I don't know whether... Maybe I'm just getting old and my hearing's not working quite so well, but... You used to walk out of the show and you could almost feel your ears relax as they just stopped hearing and being assaulted, I suppose, by machines pinging and blowing.Paul Marden: It really is an assault on the senses, but in the very best way possible. Andy Povey: Absolutely, absolutely. I feel like a child. You're walking around the show, you're going, 'Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow.' Paul Marden: So what has been your highlight? Andy Povey: Do you know, I don't think I could give you one. It really is all of the conversations, the connections, the people you didn't know that you hadn't spoken to for two years.Paul Marden: So for me, my highlight, there was a ride that I went on, Doff Robotics.Andy Povey: I've seen that, man.Paul Marden: So it was amazing. I thought I was going to be feeling really, really sick and that I wouldn't enjoy it, but it was amazing. So I had Emily with the camera in front of me. And within 10 seconds, I forgot that I was being recorded and that she was there. I was completely immersed in it. And I came off it afterwards feeling no motion sickness at all and just having had a real good giggle all the way through. I was grinning like, you know, the Cheshire Cat. Andy Povey: A grinning thing. Paul Marden: Yeah. So, tomorrow, what are you looking forward to?Andy Povey: It's more of the same. It really is. There's going to be some sore heads after tonight's party at Tribodabo. We're all hoping the rain holds off long enough for it to be a great experience. But more of the same.Paul Marden: Well, let's meet back again tomorrow, shall we? Andy Povey: Completely. Paul Marden: Let's make a date.Paul Marden: Thanks for listening to today's episode from IAAPA Expo Europe.

De Vuelta is ten einde gekomen. Zonder ritwinnaar en zonder podiumceremonie, want demonstranten maakten het in Madrid opnieuw onmogelijk om te finishen. Zagen we dit niet allang aankomen? En had die slotrit überhaupt wel verreden moeten worden? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel met Roxane Knetemann en Marijn Abbenhuijs. Uiteraard kijken we ook uitgebreid terug op de WK mountainbike met Mathieu van der Poel, waarin ons vooral het interview na afloop opviel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On July 1st, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) officially closed its operations. It was the culmination of a months-long effort by the Trump administration to dismantle the agency, which had been in charge of administering U.S. foreign aid for over half a century. Why did President Trump make the dissolution of USAID a priority? And what will it mean for the people and places around the world that have relied on foreign aid from the U.S.?To answer these questions, Dan Richards spoke with Jennifer Hadden, a political scientist and associate professor at the Watson School, as well as co-author, with Sarah Sunn Bush, of the new book “Crowded Out: The Competitive Landscape of Contemporary International NGOs.”On this episode, they discuss the fate of USAID in the context of the broader international aid ecosystem. Specifically, they explore the evolving roles of international non-governmental organizations (INGO's) in the foreign landscape, which have long worked with government agencies like USAID to deliver aid and assistance around the world. To many, it was surprising that USAID became such a target of the Trump administration. But as Hadden makes clear, Trump's moves are part of a larger shift in the world of foreign aid — one with truly global implications.
