Last month the UK was hit by a record-breaking heatwave, part of a wider climate event that affected much of Europe, whilst a subsequent and more severe heatwave hit South Asia. To talk through the politics of heatwaves, I was joined by Adrienne Buller, editor of The Breakdown. We talked the differential impacts of heatwaves, and why it is that focus on climate in the media has declined at the same time as the global climate situation has never been more severe. We also talked about climate adaptation - in both more and less benign guises - and finally we talked about the prospect of geoengineering and how close we might be to corporate and state actors deploying technologies such as Stratospheric Aerosol Injection that aim to reduce inbound solar radiation.

St. Louis is officially entering swamp-ass season, and the gang is here to issue the only weather alert that really matters.This episode starts with a brutal heat wave rolling into the Midwest, bringing temperatures that feel like Mother Nature accidentally left the city inside a crockpot. The crew breaks down heat indexes, survival tips, football practices from the prehistoric era, and why today's kids apparently have it way too easy compared to drinking from a PVC pipe water fountain during August two-a-days.Then things take a sharp detour into one of the most important cultural discussions of our time: why does Southern Illinois pronounce perfectly normal words in completely insane ways? Cairo becomes "Caro." Vienna becomes "Vienna." Geography teachers everywhere are filing complaints. The gang relives high school rivalries, homecoming disasters, football memories, and the strange world of Little Egypt. If you've ever wondered how many towns can mispronounce themselves simultaneously, this episode has answers.But wait... it gets weirder.A listener asks for help settling a family feud after a Chicago relative claims the Windy City has a better food scene than St. Louis. That's when the gloves come off. The crew debates toasted ravioli, BBQ, hot salami, Balkan Treat Box, The Hill, farm-to-table restaurants, and whether any visitor has ever actually had a life-changing toasted ravioli experience. The result is a passionate defense of St. Louis food culture mixed with enough food recommendations to make you immediately abandon whatever salad you were planning to eat.Meanwhile, a local trampoline park's "67 Day" celebration turns into absolute mayhem after hundreds of unsupervised kids show up, fights break out, businesses shut down, and one 12-year-old arrives carrying a butcher knife because apparently social media has become a terrible life coach. The gang tries to make sense of the chaos while collectively wondering why nobody can have nice things anymore.Also in today's chaos:• The growing war against e-bikes in St. Louis suburbs• Why golf carts are secretly becoming suburban transportation devices• Childhood dirt bikes and mini-bike jealousy• Fish markets in Tokyo that permanently ruin seafood for everyone else• Survival knives, brass knuckles, and growing up in a very different era• National Earl Day and the tragic decline of the name Earl• The universal truth that every city thinks its food is better than yoursIt's another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show, where weather forecasts become comedy bits, food debates become personal attacks, and local news somehow spirals into stories about fish, football, and survival gear.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, local flavor, hilarious stories, and the kind of arguments only lifelong friends can have, welcome home.This daily comedy show proudly delivers another dose of chaos from St. Louis to wherever you're listening.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Well, we thought we were getting back to full strength, but the podcast curse strikes again! This week, Tash is missing in action lol, but the show must go on! Becky is back behind the mic to join Emma, which means we still have two absolutely wild stories lined up to keep you up at night.First up, Becky takes us to August 2003, when a silent, invisible monster crept across France. What started as a beautiful summer turned into the deadliest weather event in European history—the infamous 2003 Heat Wave (La Canicule). This wasn't just a couple of sweaty days; it was an unprecedented catastrophe that caught the nation entirely off guard, overwhelming hospitals, breaking temperature records, and claiming over 14,000 lives in France alone. Becky dives into the dark, heartbreaking reality of what happens when the climate turns deadly, institutions fail, and the weather itself becomes a serial killer.Then, Emma takes the reins for Part Two of The Dagg Demon—and no, we aren't at the end just yet, that's coming next week! This week, the plot thickens as we finally meet the man, the myth, the legend: Percy Woodcock. As a local investigator and a man of faith, Percy steps right into the middle of the 1889 Quebec farmhouse chaos to figure out if they are dealing with a massive hoax or a genuine, terrifying entity. Emma breaks down exactly what happened when Percy tried to communicate with the voice, and the chilling answers he got back.
This week on Stasis Pod: The Vault of the Primes has gifted each of the recruits with a new tool most suited to them — but Hot Shot is unimpressed with his new combicannon. Trading tools with Wedge will totally go fine, right? Then, Cody enlists Mr. Murphy’s dog Heatwave to help teach Medix how to go with the flow! Join us for the Rescue Bots Academy episodes “Power Up And Energize” and “Heatwave’s Shiny Coat”!
The UK, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal shattered their May heat records last week. Scenes reminiscent of high summer arrived months early, across Western Europe. And like all extreme weather events, there was a human toll. Infrastructure under strain, health services stretched, and lives lost. But as records fell, the political conversation was moving in the other direction. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair published a lengthy essay calling on the government to halt its net zero acceleration and prioritise cheap energy. Rory Stewart made a similar case on The Rest is Politics, invoking AI data centres and industrial competitiveness. Both are figures from the centre of British politics. Neither is a climate denier. So what's happening? This week, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Christiana Figueres sit with this dissonance. They ask what it means when hopelessness becomes self-sustaining, a cultural condition as much as a feeling. They ask whether grief, properly faced, might be what unlocks action rather than foreclosing it. And they look at the history of transformations that began long before success seemed likely.Is the real crisis not just the climate, but one of agency? And what does it take to act with conviction when outcomes are genuinely uncertain?Learn More:☀️ See Severe Weather Europe's recap of the historic heat dome across Europe
Quand Mathilde nous a raconté cette histoire la semaine dernière au kung-fu, son invité était encore présent. Mais vous allez l'apprendre, l'invité est reparti. J'ai trouvé cette histoire tellement mignonne, j'étais donc ravie qu'elle accepte de vous la raconter aussi. Nous étions installées, Mathilde et moi, dans les gradins du stade de Courbevoie pour l'enregistrement, lundi, à la tombée du jour. Ça fait du bien dans un monde souvent cruel et dur d'entendre une histoire toute simple, celle d'un lien qui se crée entre un animal et un humain. C'est aussi l'occasion d'écouter une autre manière de raconter les histoires, de découvrir un nouveau vocabulaire. Aussi, si écouter ou lire c'est bien, alors remarquer, comprendre et cultiver son français, c'est mieux. Je vous invite à vous abonner à la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode destinée aux apprenants de français sur www.onethinginafrenchday.com Dans la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode en particulier, nous reviendrons sur le texte de lundi : nous étudierons les temps des verbes conjugués d'un passage et nous répondrons à la question suivante : pourquoi autant de verbes sont-ils au présent alors que le texte raconte une histoire passée? heatwave guest garden, homing pigeon France, pigeon voyageur, French daily life, real French conversation, authentic French, life in Paris, learn French podcast, spoken French, French stories, surprise visitor garden, racing pigeon story
