You know what you're here to do. You're just not doing it yet. Teresa Thomas knows that feeling better than most.Candy Motzek sits down with Teresa Thomas, Canadian author, speaker, environmental health educator, and spiritual connection mentor. Teresa recovered from environmental illness herself and now empowers women to create healthier homes, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with the gifts they've been sitting on.In this conversation, Teresa shares the boardroom moment that launched her mission - a single overheard sentence from a fragrance industry executive that made her realize who was really at risk and why someone had to speak up. She talks about the Halifax hospital story: 800 workers off sick, a grassroots nurse-led campaign with no funding and no organization, and what happened when the industry showed up to try to understand it.She also shares the quieter part of the story. Knowing your purpose and acting on it are two different things. Teresa spent years hiding before she started showing up. Her first in-person talk was last month. She made mistakes. She relaxed. She was herself. And it worked.This episode is for any coach or entrepreneur who knows what they're here to do and hasn't fully stepped into it yet.Grab the free course, Stop Guessing and Start Signing Clients, and start building a coaching business that's actually yours: https://candymotzek.lpages.co/vfo/Want to see what's actually working for coaches right now?

In this summer bonus episode of The Food Professor podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois broadcast live from the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Montreal for a conversation with Naïla Bassin, Marketing Leader Canada, and Carlo Stocco, Managing Director, North America, both of Andriani S.p.A., the Italian company behind Felicia, Italy's fastest-growing pasta brand. Felicia means "happy" in Italian, and the brand's Canadian arrival is built on a simple but stubborn problem: Canadians want healthier pasta, but the better-for-you category has long asked shoppers to compromise on taste and texture. Carlo traces the company's roots to Gravina in Puglia in southern Italy, its rapid European growth, and the decision to build a North American manufacturing facility in London, Ontario rather than simply import from Europe. That plant now anchors a national launch, with organic ingredients increasingly sourced in Canada and an ambition to bring the entire supply chain onshore. Naïla unpacks what makes the product different. Felicia owns its technology and mills its own raw materials, which matters enormously when there's no gluten to bind the pasta. The result is a seven-SKU lineup built on single ingredients and vegetables rather than blends and fillers: buckwheat, brown rice and spirulina, chickpea, red lentil, oat and green cauliflower. One organic red lentil serving delivers 23 grams of protein and 14 grams of fibre, plus iron and potassium. The oat pasta recently took home a NEXTY award for best gluten-free product at Expo West in Los Angeles, chosen from more than 1,000 submissions. The conversation turns to the retail strategy every emerging food brand wrestles with. Felicia has launched in specialty and health stores across Ontario and Quebec, landed at Loblaw in the natural health aisle, secured Costco with red lentil penne plus a limited mid-May drop of organic oat and green cauliflower cavatappi, is rolling into Save-On-Foods, and is in discussions with Sobeys. But where should it live on shelf? Carlo makes the case for the main pasta aisle using Italy's Esselunga, where 14 Felicia items sit alongside conventional pasta and grow the total category, much as cereal and bakery have already been transformed. A sharp listen for anyone tracking Canadian grocery innovation, better-for-you food trends and brand building in a crowded category.

Was the legendary B-17 really brilliant—or dangerously overrated wartime myth?The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most iconic aircraft of the Second World War—but what if its reputation doesn't match reality?In this explosive episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes aviation historian and YouTube creator Will Carver to challenge one of the biggest myths of Allied air power. Known for his sharp analysis and uncompromising views, Will argues that the B-17's legendary status owes more to storytelling, culture, and Hollywood than battlefield performance.From its origins in 1930s military theory to the brutal realities of daylight bombing over Germany, this episode digs into why the aircraft that symbolised American courage may not have delivered the technical superiority it promised. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the B-17 Flying Fortress became such a powerful cultural icon The real limitations of its bomb load, range, and survivability How daylight precision bombing proved far harder than planners expected The truth about the Norden bombsight and its controversial testing history Why raids like Schweinfurt exposed devastating weaknesses How aircraft design decisions limited bomb capacity and effectiveness Why the courage of crews matters even more when the technology struggles Despite its fearsome reputation, the B-17 often carried smaller bomb loads than British heavy bombers and struggled to defend itself against increasingly capable German fighters. Its reliance on formation flying reduced speed, altitude flexibility, and survivability—sometimes with catastrophic results. Why This Episode MattersThis episode isn't about mocking history—it's about understanding it properly.Will makes a powerful point: praising equipment as flawless risks overshadowing the extraordinary bravery of the crews who flew it. Many airmen climbed aboard knowing the risks were immense, flying into intense flak and fighter opposition regardless. Their courage deserves recognition grounded in truth, not mythology. If you love Second World War aviation, strategic bombing history, or myth-busting history podcasts, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Guest Details — Will CarverYouTube Channel: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@HardThrasherFollow Will on Social Media:Instagram: @lordhardthrasher X (Twitter): @lordhardthrashe Bluesky: @lordhardthrasher.bsky.social Threads: @lordhardthrasher Will produces engaging aviation history content that blends humour, research, and critical analysis to challenge long-held assumptions about military aircraft and wartime strategy.Listen to More from History RageIf you enjoyed this episode, you might also like:Episode 23 — Matt Bone challenges Spitfire worship Episode 163 — Jane Gulliford Lowe asks: What about the Halifax?

Halifax  Part 2 of 2   Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. The FAQ is: What is the best messaging app in Asia for Dr. Travelbest women?   Answer: For Dr. Travelbest, women traveling in Asia, the best answer is: use WhatsApp as your home base, but add the local app for the country you're visiting. Use WhatsApp as your main travel messaging app, but download the local app for the country you are visiting. In Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, that may be LINE. In South Korea, it is KakaoTalk. In China, it is WeChat. Set these up before you leave home, while you still have easy access to your phone number, email, passwords, and two-factor codes. Asia does not use one single messaging app everywhere. The best app depends on where you are going. Before your trip, create a small phone folder called Asia Travel Apps and put these inside: WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, WeChat, Google Translate, Google Maps or Apple Maps, and your airline app. For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge Halifax Part 2     See Book A for addressing this concern. I'm an expert at messaging apps. Just ask. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series.   Today's itinerary is Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 2 of 2 This episode is a three-day itinerary for a first-time visitor to Halifax, especially a solo woman traveler from the USA who wants history, waterfront views, local food, public transportation, and a relaxed pace. Halifax is a city where the harbor shapes everything. You will see ferries, cruise ships, navy activity, kayaks, boardwalks, seafood restaurants, and historic sites. My advice is to balance the serious history with time outside, because Halifax is best experienced both on land and near the water. Day One: Start with the waterfront and maritime history. Begin your first day with a walk along the Halifax waterfront boardwalk. This is the best way to feel the city. You may hear music, see cruise ships, watch boats moving across the harbor, and find places to sit outside. In summer, the waterfront can feel festive, especially if there are events or buskers. Look for Theodore the Tugboat, one of the cheerful harbor icons. It is a fun stop, especially if you like seeing the lighter side of a working port city. Then visit the Maritime Museum. This is one of the best first-day stops because it helps you understand Halifax's identity as a port city. Pay special attention to the history of the Halifax Explosion. In 1917, two ships collided in the harbor, causing a devastating explosion. The blast was massive, and the next day brought a blizzard. It is a sobering story, but it explains a lot about the city's strength and memory. After the museum, have lunch near the waterfront. This is a good time to try fish and chips, scallops, clams, or another seafood dish. If you are on a budget, balance one restaurant meal with simple food from a market or grocery store later in the day.   https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g154976-d23939015-Historic_Halifax_by_Foot-Halifax_Halifax_Regional_Municipality_Nova_Scotia.html In the afternoon, take the ferry to Dartmouth. The ferry is inexpensive; one of my notes said it costs about $2.50. Keep your ticket and enjoy the short ride across the harbor. You do not need to make this complicated. Sometimes the ferry ride itself is the experience. It gives you harbor views, a rest for your feet, and a different look back at Halifax. In the evening, return to the waterfront. Halifax is pretty at night, and if the weather is good, outdoor eating can be delightful. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially near nightlife areas. A local warning I heard was that areas with many bars can get rowdy. As a solo traveler, I would enjoy the evening but avoid getting pulled into a crowded late-night drinking scene. Day Two: Gardens, Citadel Hill, churches, and city views. Start day two at the Halifax Public Gardens. The main gate near South Park Street is a lovely entrance point. The gardens are peaceful, colorful, and a good contrast to the harbor. Go in the morning if you can, when the pace is slower. From there, head toward Spring Garden Road, one of the city's lively areas. You can find shops, cafes, and transit connections. If you like libraries, visit the newer Halifax Central Library and go up to the rooftop area for views and a sense of local life. I noted spring gardening and the rooftop as part of the library experience, and it is a good stop for travelers who like free or low-cost places. Next, walk or take transit toward the Citadel. The Citadel is up the hill, so wear comfortable shoes. Plan about two hours if you want to understand the military and cultural history. The views from the area also help you understand Halifax's shape. After the Citadel, visit St. Paul's Anglican Church downtown. It is an important landmark and one of the oldest buildings in Halifax, dating back to 1749. It is close enough to combine with other downtown stops and gives you a sense of the city's early colonial history. If you enjoy art, consider the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, especially for Maud Lewis's paintings. Her work is colorful, personal, and deeply connected to Nova Scotia. This is a good afternoon choice if the weather turns rainy or if you need a quieter indoor stop. For dinner, try seafood again or sample poutine if you have not already. Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It may be unfamiliar to American visitors, but it is worth trying at least once in Canada. Day Three: Point Pleasant Park, universities, swimming, or a harbor adventure. On your third day, choose a pace that fits your energy.   My travel tip: combine one paid attraction each day with free or low-cost experiences like the Public Gardens, waterfront walks, the ferry, and Point Pleasant Park. Today's destination is My missteps: Leaving my cellphone behind. My mistake for this episode: Leaving my phone at the swimming pool in Toronto. I changed back into my clothes and left the phone on the bench. The phone is my lifeline when I travel. I was with a friend that day, so perhaps more distracted than normal. I called the pool, picked up the phone, and all was well. Don't leave your phone unattended when you travel. My travel tip on eSims: My Airalo discount code is:  MARY2856 for your savings of $3.00 or more. Install before you leave: Always download and install the eSIM while you are still at home on your secure, reliable Wi-Fi network. You don't want to activate it until the day before you arrive in the country you will use it, so have it downloaded already.   For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything.

Why do most new products fail — even when they solve a real problem? In this episode of The Voice of Retail, presented by Konek – Canada's way to pay. Visit Konek.ca to learn more., host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Rob Snyder, founder and author of the new book The Power of Pull, to unpack why understanding customer demand is fundamentally different from pitching supply — and what that means for retailers, vendors, and startups trying to win business today. Snyder's path here started at McKinsey & Company, where he grew frustrated with consulting from the outside and moved into the startup world to learn how companies actually work. After Harvard Business School, he built his first startup selling into retail and restaurants — and spent two brutal years hitting a wall before finally cracking the code and scaling to $4 million in annual recurring revenue in under two years. That hard-won experience became the foundation for his PULL framework, and for a career spent studying, through Harvard Innovation Labs, startup advising, and angel investing, why some new ideas take off while most don't. The conversation digs into the core distinction at the heart of Snyder's book: demand is not the same thing as wanting a product. Demand is a person trying to accomplish something in their life; supply is simply the tool they pull in to get it done. Snyder revisits the famous (and possibly apocryphal) Henry Ford "faster horses" quote to explain why asking customers what they want often produces the wrong answer — and why the real skill is identifying what people are stuck trying to do with the options already in front of them. For retailers fielding constant vendor pitches, Snyder offers a practical filter: can this startup speak your language, cite specific relevant case studies, and explain exactly how they've unstuck a comparable business — or are they hiding behind buzzwords like "agentic AI"? He also tackles how AI is reshaping the competitive landscape for B2B startups, arguing that as AI closes gaps in the "limitations" side of the PULL framework, vendors need to find pull in places AI hasn't reached yet. The episode closes with Snyder's advice for retail leaders trying to uncover genuine, unfiltered demand: skip the customer interviews, and instead watch shoppers struggle in real time — in-store and online — to find the moments where existing options fall short. Rob Snyder's new book, The Power of Pull, is available now wherever books are sold. Connect with him on LinkedIn or at robsnyder.org.  This episode presented by Konek – Canada's way to pay.

Ten years to the day. Three fans who were in the building for opening night in Victoria tell the story - the tickets, the silver suit, and the night the Man Machine Poem Tour began.Episode SummaryFirst stop. July 22nd, 2016. The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, where The Tragically Hip opened the Man Machine Poem Tour and, as jD puts it, tore the place up. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour gathers three fans who were there - Chris from Kelowna, Dave from Campbell River, and Jay from Edmonton - to take it from soup to nuts: hearing the news, chasing the tickets, and living the night.The ticket stories alone are worth the price of admission. Dave had seen The Hip 19 times and never sweated a ticket - until dynamic pricing and the bots turned this on-sale into the most stressful of his life. Chris dumb-lucked into fabulous seats through a venue voucher he had to drive to Victoria to redeem - and ended up on CBC, Global, CTV, and CNNalong the way, posting his mileage in a very Canadian unit: 12 Tragically Hip songs per hundred kilometres. Jay stared down 45 minutes of "sold out" on Ticketmaster before row four on the floor appeared for him, his wife, and his two-year-old daughter - then did it again and landed row two for Vancouver.Then the lights went down and 'Boots or Hearts' opened the night. The panel remembers the acoustic-style start, the deep cuts up front, Gord Downie's glittering silver suit and feather - and Chris's reading of it all: this was the band flipping the bird at cancer and controlling the narrative. Jay's daughter got a wave from Gord during 'Blow at High Dough' - a moment you can spot in the documentary. Dave got 'The Luxury', played for the first time since 2000, at his 20th show.There's real talk about the four "Man Machine Poem" songs played each night - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'Machine', 'What Blew', and one more with a title we can't print here - plus where everyone was on August 20th, 2016, from inside the Kingston barn to packed small-town bars in Dorintosh, Saskatchewan, and Vanderhoof, BC. The word the panel lands on: gratitude.The PanelChris from Kelowna - longtime search and rescue volunteer, then living in Vanderhoof. Drove 1,000 kilometres to the show with his brother and an iPod co-pilot, and became the national media's favourite Hip fan for a week.Dave from Campbell River - joining from Halifax on the other end of the country. Victoria was his 20th Hip show; he carried on to Ottawa and Kingston, and he has never said goodbye.Jay from Edmonton - then in Calgary, tent trailer in tow for a family vacation on the island.

Editorial note: This conversation was recorded live at SIAL Canada in late April — well before the July CUSMA review deadline and the most recent U.S. tariff actions targeting Canada. Some of the optimism expressed here about a smooth CUSMA outcome should be heard in that context. It's become a Food Professor tradition: every year at SIAL Canada, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Martin Lavoie, President and CEO of Groupe Export Agroalimentaire Québec-Canada, for a state-of-the-nation check-in on Canadian agri-food trade. This bonus episode, recorded live on the SIAL Canada show floor in Montreal, picks up exactly one year after their last conversation — and at the time, a lot had already changed. Lavoie opens by reflecting on the whiplash of the prior twelve months. Since "Liberation Day" tariffs rattled Canadian exporters the previous spring, Quebec's agri-food sector had kept growing despite the uncertainty, but the volatility had taken a toll: lost U.S. customers, disrupted contracts, and a level of unpredictability Lavoie says he'd never seen in his career. He walks through how Groupe Export helped member companies navigate the chaos — from renegotiating who absorbs tariff costs to bracing for policy shifts announced, at times, over social media. The conversation turns to CUSMA (USMCA), then under review, with Lavoie offering a cautiously optimistic read at the time: dismantling the agreement would be so disruptive to deeply integrated U.S. industries that he believed cooler heads would prevail on both sides of the border. Listeners should weigh that optimism against what's actually unfolded since the July deadline and the latest U.S. tariff moves against Canada. A major theme is diversification. Lavoie argues Mexico represents Quebec's single biggest near-term opportunity — logistically easier than overseas markets and increasingly motivated to reduce its own reliance on U.S. imports. He also flags growing momentum in Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe, while acknowledging the real barriers: time zones, market development costs, and a Canadian logistics network still built for trucking to the U.S. rather than shipping by ocean freight. Comparing Canada to the Netherlands' export powerhouse model, he makes the case for urgent investment in port infrastructure, warehousing, and resolving ongoing labour disruptions at Canadian ports. Domestically, Lavoie and Charlebois dig into interprovincial trade — noting it's often cheaper and easier for a Quebec exporter to ship to New York than to Calgary — and discuss data from an MNP survey showing Canada ranks as a top-tier nation for agri-food reputation among G20 countries, trailing only the Netherlands. The episode closes with a practical overview of how Groupe Export supports Quebec exporters: 30-40 trade missions and shows per year, shipping and regulatory support, market intelligence, and export-readiness evaluations for companies just getting started. A time-capsule look at where Quebec's agri-food exporters stood mid-storm — worth hearing alongside what's happened since.

Charles Spicer explains that by late 1937, the Fellowship was being monitored by MI5 and penetrated by the NKVD. Soviet spy Kim Philby was even hired to manage the organization's PR, feeding information to Stalin, who feared an Anglo-German alliance against Russia. In November, Lord Halifax visited the Berghof. While he was appalled by Hitler's suggestion to shoot Indian protestors, the dictator successfully fooled Halifax into believing he did not want war. This meeting left the British cabinet with a dangerously false sense of security, as they prioritized Hitler's protestations over the warnings of amateur spies like Christie. (8)1938

Charles Spicer describes how, as 1939 began, the diplomatic situation worsened due to the catastrophic appointments of Henderson and Ribbentrop. Henderson, the "arch-appeaser," fed Chamberlain's natural tendencies and suppressed reports that might upset Hitler. Conversely, Ribbentrop had become irrational and vitriolic toward the British, feeling socially snubbed. Despite accurate intelligence from Christie and Conwell-Evans flowing to Halifax, the Foreign Secretary vacillated between their warnings and Henderson's appeasement. Although the Fellowship's activities were suspended after the invasion of Prague, it remained a vital conduit for information that the official British embassy in Berlin failed to provide. (11)1940

 Halifax Part 1 of 2  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  Find my book series on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Halifax,  Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 1 of 2 Eastern Canada is understated. This episode is about what I actually did there in August 2025, as a solo woman traveler. Halifax surprised me. It is a harbor city, a university city, a military city, a cruise-ship city, and a place where history seems to rise from the water. One of the first things I noticed is that Halifax is surrounded by water. The harbor is not just scenery. It is part of the city's identity. Ships, ferries, kayaks, cruise passengers, navy vessels, and waterfront walkers all share the same sense of place. So I walked, I spent a lot of time along the waterfront. There was music, people eating outside, and a lively summer feeling. I was there around August 4, which was a holiday, and I ate poutine at the buskers' event. Poutine was new to me. It is French fries with cheese curds and gravy, topped with ketchup. It was a different flavor for me, and that is part of travel: trying something even when you are not sure it will become your favorite. Halifax has a strong maritime history, and I visited the Maritime Museum. That was one of the highlights. I learned more about the Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917, when two ships collided in the harbor. The explosion was enormous — often described as the world's largest pre-atomic explosion. I heard that the anchor landed miles away, the water was displaced, and a tsunami followed. The next day, there was a blizzard. That story stayed with me because it showed how much tragedy this city has survived. The Maritime Museum also connects you to other parts of Halifax history, including shipyards, dockyards, and the city's role as a port. If you are a first-time visitor, this is a good place to start because it helps you understand why Halifax matters. Immigration museum https://pier21.ca/ Look up your family history here, including whether you have US relatives. It had a 15-minute wait, but it was free. I also visited the Citadel, up on the hill. I spent about two hours there learning about the military and cultural changes in the area. It was informative, and I am glad I made the climb. Halifax has hills, so wear good walking shoes. You may think you are just going "up the hill to the museum," but your legs will know you are in a real city with elevation. Another special experience was my kayak tour around St. George's Island. It was a two-and-a-half-hour tour, and we learned about tunnels and armaments from the time when the British were responsible for the harbor's defense and security. It was expensive, but I was really glad I did it. Sometimes a higher-cost experience is worth it because it gives you a memory you would not get any other way. I also made time for beauty and quiet. I took bus number 1 to the Public Gardens, and they were beautiful. The main gate is near South Park Street and Spring Garden Road. That area is a good part of the city to explore. I wandered, took buses, and let myself explore different parts of Halifax rather than staying in just one tourist zone. One morning, I went swimming at the Centennial Pool at 8:30 AM. The water was chilly, but not freezing, and I swam for about 45 minutes. It felt fantastic. I love finding ordinary things in a new city — a public pool, a bus route, a grocery store, a coffee shop — because those places help me feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident. I noticed Tim Hortons everywhere. Strong coffee, bathrooms, and big business. For a traveler, especially one moving around by bus, knowing where you can get coffee and find a bathroom matters. I rode public buses and appreciated that they announced the next street before arriving. That was helpful when I was trying to figure out where I was going. At one point, I jumped on a 10C bus, not completely sure where it was going, but I was on South Park Street and Spring Garden Road and seeing more of Halifax. That is one of my travel styles: I like to wander, but I also pay attention. I passed St. Mary's University, Dalhousie University, Gorsebrook Park on Inglis Street, and other neighborhoods. Halifax has a strong student presence, which gives parts of the city energy. Quinpool Road felt like a main drag for shops. I also hopped at the Mic Mac Mall. I went to the Art Gallery, where Maud Lewis's paintings are an important draw. I saw Point Pleasant Park, one of my favorite parts of the city, especially around Young Avenue. Halifax has one gated street with six houses on the ocean, and that area felt peaceful and special. Point Pleasant Park also carries reminders of storms and resilience. I heard about a hurricane in 2010 that downed a huge number of trees. Nature is beautiful here, but also powerful. I also visited downtown Halifax, including St. Paul's Anglican Church, the city's oldest building, dating back to 1749. It is close to downtown and gives you a sense of how old Halifax is by North American standards. A few small details stayed with me. Some red traffic lights in Nova Scotia were square. The city has a Commons area for winter skating at the Emera Oval. There is an armory, the Scotiabank Center for events, cruise ships at the harbor, Irving gas stations, and a pretty waterfront at night. I even saw or heard about Theodore the Tugboat, which brought a lighter, cheerful side to the harbor. My food experiences included fish and chips, scallops, clams, poutine, and outdoor eating. I remember Olive and Rudy, scallops and clams, and the pleasure of eating outside when the weather is right. Halifax is a good place for seafood and simple travel meals. One day, I had a ham sandwich, an apple, a pear, an orange, and toast. That helped me manage costs while spending money on experiences. My caution for listeners: someone mentioned the "Dome" neighborhood as a place with many bars and a possible recipe for a bar fight. I would say this more gently: as a solo traveler, especially at night, be aware of nightlife districts. You do not have to avoid fun, but you do need to know your surroundings. The shownote includes a link to crime mapping in Halifax. https://www.halifax.ca/safety-security/police/crime-mapping   My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My lesson: Halifax is not just a pretty Canadian harbor. It is a city of resilience, history, students, seafood, public spaces, and water views. Next up will be Part 2 of 2 on Halifax.    Travel Mistakes  My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My travel tip: take the buses, walk the waterfront, and do at least one water-based experience — a ferry, harbor cruise, or kayak tour.     AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory.

Chef and broadcaster Romy Gill heads to the pavilion to explore cricket's relationship with food. She discovers that the supposedly British institution of the cricket tea was in fact a tradition imported from Australia in the 1880s. She visits Lord's - the Home of Cricket - and is given access to the kitchens to watch tea being prepared as well as receiving a tour of the Lord's museum to look through their culinary archives. She's made to feel welcome by the BBC Test Match Special team and reminisces over her own childhood cricket teas growing up in West Bengal in India. Romy explores the health of the cricket tea at a club level and heads to Stainland Cricket Club near Halifax in West Yorkshire to meet the inspirational Trish Wood who has helped bring cricket teas back to her club and John Fuller of Cricket Yorkshire who devised a competition to find the best cricket tea in the county.Robin Markwell reports from Stoke Gifford in South Gloucestershire on a decision by cricket clubs around Bristol who voted to no longer make cricket teas compulsory in their league after the pandemic.Presented by Romy Gill and produced by Robin Markwell for BBC Audio in Bristol with thanks to the BBC Test Match Special team.

The world just pledged more than $6.4 billion for ocean conservation at the 2026 Our Ocean Conference, but history tells us that big announcements do not always lead to meaningful action. In this episode, we unpack what was actually announced, who made the commitments, and why the headline number is only part of the story. You'll learn why this year's conference in Kenya was especially significant and what makes these commitments different from legally binding agreements. We also explore the question that rarely gets asked: how do we know whether these promises will ever become real conservation outcomes? From sustainable fisheries and marine protected areas to climate resilience and the blue economy, we examine where the money is intended to go and what could stand in the way of success. If you've ever wondered whether international ocean conferences are worth paying attention to, this episode is for you. Finally, we discuss why accountability matters more than announcements, and what to watch for over the coming months as organizations begin turning promises into action. With the next Our Ocean Conference heading to Halifax, this conversation offers a timely look at how global cooperation can help protect our ocean if the commitments are actually delivered.

Five years after wildfire destroyed most of Lytton, British Columbia, rebuilding remains slow despite more than $140 million in committed public funding. Norm Van Eeden Petersman talks with Michel Durand-Wood, author of You'll Pay for This, and Graham Watt, who manages strategic initiatives and flood recovery for Grand Forks, British Columbia. They look at what happens when a small town is pushed to rebuild everything at once, while also dealing with hazardous conditions, limited local capacity, consulting costs, modern codes, and the long-term obligation to maintain whatever comes next. The money creates a promise of recovery, but Lytton shows how hard it is to turn that promise back into a town.
