Let's dive into the world of cruises - (full disclaimer: neither Vic or Hamish have ever actually been on one!)Today Vic and Hame explore the allure of cruise ships as “giant floating bars” or “Westfields on Water,” complete with endless buffets, towel animals, and drinks packages that basically dare you to drink your body weight in piña coladas before lunch. They chat about why they've always avoided this type of holiday, despite their extended families treating cruises like the holy grail of leisure.But are things changing? With unlimited alcohol packages still the main selling point, they look at the dangers of all-you-can-drink culture at sea — from sunstroke + sangria chaos to the grim statistics on alcohol-related accidents. At the same time, they ask whether the tide (pun intended) might finally be turning. Could cruises actually become activity-laden, dream holidays for sober folk — with gyms, spas, shore excursions, and, dare we say, mocktail menus worth ordering from?As ever, Vic and Hame bring honesty, humour, and a healthy dose of scepticism to the question: are cruises doomed to stay floating pubs, or can the sober awkward among us finally come aboard without dreading the drinks package sales pitch?Enjoy!

Hamish geht allein in den Wald und trifft seinen Freund Schdoffi, den Dachs, wie er gerade Fangen mit einem Dackel spielt. Die Drei haben jede Menge Spaß, bis ein Jäger daherkommt, um nach seinem Hund zu sehen - ein Jäger auf Dachsjagd ... Halten die Tiere zusammen? (Von Thomas Kastura, erzählt von Andreas Leopold Schadt in oberfränkischer Mundart)

Nearly unknown to the greater climbing world, Hamish McArthur walked on the mats at the Paris Olympics the epitome of an underdog. He wasn't sure he even wanted to be there. When the dust settled, he'd placed fifth, ahead of legends and rising stars. Since then, Hamish upended the climbing world by casually dispatching the world's hardest boulder problems in lightning speed. How'd he do it? The solution was inside his mind.  Watch Climbing Gold on YouTube Thanks to our sponsors The North Face Check out Summit Series at thenorthface.com  Waking Up Try Waking Up for 30 days free by going to wakingup.com/honnold LMNT  Get your free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase at www.drinklmnt.com/climbinggold.

Israeli military personnel have intercepted an international flotilla trying to deliver medicine and food to Gaza and boarded its boats as it approached the area. The Global Sumud Flotilla consists of more than 40 civilian boats carrying about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg. The organisers say they are trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, despite repeated warnings from Israel to turn back. The United Nations last month ruled that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, a claim Israel denies. Israel has imposed a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas took control of the coastal enclave in 2007 and they claim it is a legal part of the action they are taking against Hamas. They've accused the flotilla of having connections to Hamas - which the organisers strongly deny, while other critics accuse them of grandstanding. Judy Patterson's son, Hamish, is the captain of the Wahoo, one of the ships taking part in the action, and she spoke to SBS's Tee Mitchell.

A significant slash to the number of quake-prone buildings. The Government's introducing an Amendment Bill to scrap and replace the New Building Standard – estimated to save building owners more than eight billion dollars. It'll see Auckland, Northland, and the Chatham Islands removed from the regime. Mt Hobson Group Director Hamish Firth told Kerre Woodham the review has come up with a system that is better balanced, more nuanced, and more proportionate to the risk. He says the kneejerk reaction in the wake of the Christchurch earthquake was perhaps right for the time, but it's probably taken too long to do a review and ensure the system is working.

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic confesses to bombing a speech so badly she considered faking her own death to escape the hotel. Turns out, all our “step out of your comfort zone!” pep talks might have been… well… a bit shit. Because sometimes you don't just step out... you cartwheel out, land flat on your face, and want to live in a cave forever.Enter RSD, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, the sneaky brain glitch that makes one awkward moment feel like the whole world hates you. Vic and Hamish dive into what it is, why it bites harder in sobriety, and how success amnesia makes you forget every win you've ever had the second something goes wrong.Expect sweaty palms, public speaking disasters, spa-side meltdowns, and knob jokes (obviously). If you've ever spiralled over a slow text reply or considered joining witness protection after a minor faux pas, this episode is for you.

As you may have seen, I have a new video premiering this weekend about the 1985 film Kiss of the Spider Woman, which features an iconic performance from a then-obscure actor named Raul Julia. Thanks to my research into Raul's career, I've had another of his iconic roles on my mind lately — that of Gomez Addams in the Addams Family films. So for this week's Sewers of Paris, we're diving into the archives to hear from someone whose creative work was heavily inspired by the Addamses. Back in 2020, I spoke with Hamish Steele, whose graphic novel Deadendia had just been adapted into an animated series at Netflix. Drawing from his love of Dr Who, The Addams Family Values, and other queer-ish ensembles, Hamish's work in print and in animation has its own devoted cult following.We'll have that conversation in just a minute.

This is not a story about foolishness. It’s a story about sophisticated betrayal and the courage to rebuild. In this deeply human and confronting episode of Leading You, I’m joined by Tracy Hall, advocate, author, and survivor of intimate fraud. Tracy’s story begins with a Crime Stoppers video. A blurry arrest. A name she didn’t recognise. And the sickening realisation that the man she had loved for 18 months was not who he said he was. Together, we unpack how grooming really works, not through loud red flags, but through subtle, believable beige ones. From carefully crafted details to plausible stories, Tracy helps us understand how even the most intelligent, capable people can be caught in a web of deceit. She also challenges the victim-blaming narratives still dominating headlines and explains why words like “lost money” completely erase the crime. This conversation isn’t just about financial loss. It’s about grief, shame, reclaiming your voice, and the quiet strength it takes to speak out. Tracy’s journey from devastation to advocacy is a masterclass in resilience and truth-telling and a reminder that prevention starts with compassion, not judgment. In this episode, we cover: How grooming really happens and why “beige flags” are harder to spot than red ones The emotional and psychological toll of intimate fraud Why victim-blaming language causes harm and what to say instead How men in their 60s and teens are being increasingly targeted Practical steps to take if your gut says something is off How Tracy reclaimed her voice through Who the Hell is Hamish?, her memoir The Last Victim, and advocacy work Actions & Insights: If your gut says “something’s off,” pause and talk to someone you trust Use direct, respectful questions if you're worried about someone you care about Report even if you never go public, it helps build the data that protects others Review how you discuss fraud within your team, at home, or in the workplace.

Join Vic and Hame as they dive into the complex link between alcohol and depression. They explore the science behind why alcohol - a depressant - can make you feel good initially but leave your brain "wobbly" afterwards, potentially triggering a depressive episode.The hosts share their own personal stories, with Vic opening up about how her depression was 100% booze-related and Hamish describing his own lows. They tackle the "chicken or the egg" question: does drinking cause depression, or do people drink to cope with it? They also discuss how sobriety, while not a magical cure, can remove a major disruptor and provide the clarity needed to do the real work of healing.Thanks for tuning in!

The Auckland apartment market is so dire that a developer is renting instead of selling all the units in one new block. Ockham Residential CEO William Deihl said all the new 10-level 77-unit Whetū in Pt Chevalier would be rented, not sold - sparking discussion about whether apartments have value in the current market. Mt Hobson Group urban planning expert Hamish Firth says apartments can still suit Kiwi buyers - at a certain age and stage. "Perhaps older people or downsizers, perhaps students coming through or perhaps young families with lesser amounts of kids. So I think that it's really good that we've got that variety of housing forms." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should sobriety be earned rather than prescribed?This week Vic and Hamish tackle the hype around Ozempic, the so-called miracle jab that claims to melt away kilos and even dampen alcohol cravings.It sounds tempting, right? But is it really the answer, or just another shiny shortcut that sidesteps the real work sobriety demands - you know, the uncomfortable, icky but rewarding bits like sitting with cravings, unravelling old habits, and actually dealing with what drove us to drink in the first place?They dig into the science, side effects, and sketchy unknowns, questioning whether reducing cravings with a drug is the same as actual long-term recovery. Along the way they share their own experiences, from resisting “easy fixes” to why the messy, imperfect slog of sobriety might be the most empowering path of all.Oh, and there is also a rather long monologue at the start of this episode about constipation.Expect a mix of laughs, some chat about odd bodily functions, a rather annoying Oscar level speech, and a shark teeth story.

It's been a week of big developments, with Nato planes scrambled after Russia sent more than a dozen drones into Polish airspace, and Qatar on high alert after Israel bombed a Hamas negotiating team in the centre of Doha.

Plus, the team spends a day at DSEI, one of the world's largest arms fairs, to look at how the UK is getting its armed forces ready for the next war. They catch up with a veteran British tank commander on the pros and cons of the upcoming Challenger 3, the managing director of Ukrspecsystems, Ukraine's largest drone manufacturer, on why they're investing in the UK, and Hamish de Bretton-Gordon on chemical warfare and the importance of good defensive kit.https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphantImage: Petty Officer Joel Rouse © Crown copyright 2024 Hosted on Acast.

In the summer of 2011, the market town of Hexham in Northumberland was left reeling after the sudden and violent death of one of its best-loved residents.77-year-old Judith Richardson was a familiar face in the community known for her gentle nature, her loyalty to friends and family, and her daily walks with her little Westie, Hamish. Her life of kindness and quiet service made what happened to her all the more shocking.As police worked to piece together how such a brutal crime could unfold in a quiet street, they uncovered a trail of evidence that pointed to a man with a violent past and a history of preying on the vulnerable. The question was whether they could prove it.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, exclusive episodes and content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!

When you stop drinking, you don't just put down the glass, you're also left holding one big awkward question: Who even am I without booze?In this funny, honest, and slightly petty episode of Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish talk about how figuring out your personal values can be the secret weapon in staying sober long-term.Knowing what you stand for gives you something to come back to when things get wobbly. It helps you set boundaries, say no to the stuff that doesn't serve you anymore, and build a life that actually feels like yours...not the one your drunk self stumbled into.If you've ever felt lost in sobriety, unsure what's next, or tempted to slip back into old habits, this episode will help you see why getting clear on your values is not just self-help fluff. It's how you stop feeling like you're giving something up and start feeling like you're stepping into the person you were always meant to be.Because staying sober isn't about willpower... it's about alignment.And your values are where that starts.(Oh and we talk about sticking potatoes in car exhausts and other nefarious, drunken debauchery!)

Hamish blows a few things wide open - including Andy’s beloved Dimmies & Tinnies! Andy recounts an awkward run-in with airport security and shares some secret audio on the ongoing TV raffle stitch-up involving his dad Mick, who has some very passionate thoughts about the size of the impending telly. Plus, it’s back - by very popular demand - another round of Jingle Joust! 1. Hamish blows a few things wide open 2. Andy has a shocker with airport security 3. Jingle joust 4. Raffle update - secret dinner conversations

This week Vic and Hamish tackle that great cultural institution of the pub. From sticky carpets to soggy beer mats, dodgy jukeboxes to landlords with rosy cheeks and probably a drinking problem, pubs have been our second homes and our downfall.But what happens when you go sober and suddenly the cosiness is replaced by awkwardness. When everyone is shouting rounds and you're quietly clutching your sparkling water. When a QR code replaces the bartender and you're asked for a tip before your sad chickpea salad even arrives.We reminisce about our boozy pub days, debate whether the death of the shout is actually good news, and share our best tips for surviving pubs when you're not drinking without feeling like a stingy boring weirdo.If you've ever wondered how to navigate mates, rounds and the smell of stale beer without falling back into old habits this one's for you. Grab your pint of milk and a bag of pickled onion Monster Munch and join us for some awkward honesty. Whose round is it anyway???Cheers!

We’ve finally locked in the date for our attempt at the World’s Tallest Hat record! We also hear from some very trustworthy candidates to officiate the big day. A few wild power moves have come our way - including one that honestly needs a warning label. Plus, Hamish takes us on an emotional journey as he buys a new baking pan. Meanwhile, despite Andy’s best efforts, Mick (Andy’s dad) is still refusing to ditch his ancient 20-inch TV... so the boys cook up a sneaky plan to trick him into an upgrade. 1. Tallest hat - trustworthy listeners 2. Power moves 3. Operation Win Mick a TV 4. Hamish’s new baking pan 5. The Lee Family Gazette

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic is flying solo. Hamish is off cleaning up family related vomit, and Vic is croaky-voiced and a bit rattled after being told to keep her legs shut in the comments section of a UK Newspaper. Note to self… never read the comments.But onto more important things. In the lead up to National Recovery Month in September, we're diving into all the different types of support out there for people who are questioning their drinking. Today we are digging into the big one. Alcoholics Anonymous.Vic shares her own experience of attending an AA meeting, clears up a few common misconceptions, including what a “dry drunk” really means. She also chats with Sal, a long-time AA member who answers the questions you've always wanted to ask but maybe felt too awkward to.What actually happens in those meetings? Do you have to call yourself an alcoholic? Is it all religion and guilt? And most importantly, is it the right path for you?With honest questions from the Sober Awkward and Cuppa community and plenty of myth-busting along the way, this episode lifts the lid on the sometimes secretive, often misunderstood world of AA.Whether you end up there or not, this is about curiosity, ditching shame and knowing that whatever path you take, you deserve support.https://aa.org.au/contact-aahttps://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/find-a-meeting/

Andy drops a life-changing pact - and Jack’s way too quick to accept. Hamish admits he’s now reliant on ChatGPT (RIP Google), and worries what the robot thinks of him. The boys run a Gusto Check on a family business, pitting two brothers against each other in a tight battle, and Hamish kicks off this week’s Upset Andy with a personal account… involving the fruit bowl. 1. Andy’s $50k pact 2. Gusto check - brother vs brother 3. What does Chat GPT know about you? 4. Upset Andy
