Send us Fan MailThin evidence. Loud opinions. And a body that still wanted to climb. That's where professional high-altitude climber Lotta Hintsa found herself when she got pregnant — wanting to stay active and keep doing her job, in an area where the research on altitude and pregnancy barely exists and everyone seemed to have a take on it.In this episode, Lotta walks me through how she navigated her own risk tolerance: gathering what evidence she could find, weighing it against her body and her experience, and making informed calls instead of fear-based ones. It's an honest look at staying active on your own terms when there's no roadmap handed to you.We talk about:-becoming a professional climber-motherhood as an extreme athlete-advice based on evidence instead of fear-losing contracts due to pregnancy-losing followers after getting pregnant-having a plan but not expectations-finding your identity as a mom

“We're about as high as you can get in the Sierra Foothills and still grow grapes.” — Derek DelfinoEl Dorado County in the Sierra Foothills wine country is one of California's best kept secrets, but it shouldn't be. When gold was discovered here in the mid 1800s, the Italians who came to the region to strike it rich brought with them their grapevines and winemaking traditions. The folks with Edio Vineyards at Delfino Farms in the Camino district came from this heritage. In homage to patriarch Edio Delfino - who created the family's fruit orchards, the third generation planted vineyards at what many might think is an impossible elevation - up to 3,000 feet - where wintry snows are not uncommon.Today, you'll meet brothers Derek and Peter Delfino, who bring their wine growing and winemaking talents as third generation vintners to the family's endeavor, and along with other family members, created what today is one of the most exciting wineries in El Dorado County. Edio is named for their grandfather, Edio Delfino, a lifelong farmer and visionary who helped establish Apple Hill as a premiere apple growing region in the Sierra Foothills. With Derek managing the vineyards, Peter making Edio wines, together they are balancing family tradition with innovation and a through line of love for the land and a deep respect for where they come from. The Marys were fortunate enough to visit Edio in 2023 and we enjoyed the beautiful views from the new tasting room. We sipped the fabulous wines that are full of distinct characteristics of the region - the zesty acidity, the aromatic notes and minerality really blew us away. So we're so happy to have Derek and Peter with us to share their story.

A 4-Step Process to Stop Stressing and Your Team Start Leading What if the exact habits that built your success are now the very thing quietly holding your business back? You hustled, you solved every problem, you held the standard — and it worked, so it became automatic. But somewhere along the way the company stopped being able to run without you, your talented team stopped stepping up, and you started wondering why working harder only makes the wheel spin faster. If any of that lands a little too close to home, this week's conversation is for you. In this episode of  A New Direction, we dig into The High-Altitude Entrepreneur with Chris Clearfield — and this episode is about you, not just the book. You'll discover why what got you here won't get you there, why all your systems still leave you trapped at the center, and the uncomfortable truth that your team won't take ownership until you stop jumping in. We even go into the brain science of it: how “predictive processing” keeps you reacting on autopilot to problems you haven't even really looked at yet — and why that's the real reason willpower never broke the cycle. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a way out. We'll unpack the shift from low-altitude founder — reactive, indispensable, exhausted — to high-altitude leader who rises above the chaos, sees the whole system, and finally lets the business grow beyond them. You'll learn how to spot the conditioned instinct that's capping your growth, how to hand your team real ownership, and why personal freedom isn't the reward you earn after success — it's the precondition that makes success possible in the first place. Join us and come ready to see your own patterns clearly, bring the questions you've been afraid to ask out loud, and bring a fellow founder who needs to hear it too. This is the conversation that helps you stop running your business from the ground — and start leading it from altitude. Chris Clearfield‘s book, “The High-Altitude Entrepreneur: A Framework for Scaling Smarter, Leading Better, and Living Freer, is a book for entrepreneurs and leaders.  And quite honestly you are going to need put aside your defensiveness, which will immediately happen when you start reading this book. Why do I say that so confidently?  Because no one wants to hear that the real problem why you as a leader are always stressed, feel like you team won’t take leadership, feel like everything falls on you, is because you are the bottleneck to your business.  But you really can’t do your out of this.  Your problem is not your people the problem is the monster you created because of the way you are wired that causes your people to not want to take action and lead. The fact is when you started your business, you pushed your way through.  You had to.  Every decision fell on you. So you put in the work, and you went into grind mode.  You lost sleep.  You pushed hard!  So now when things are not going well, or things start to go south, what do you do?  You employ your old operating system of work hard, push, and grind.  The problem.  Now you have people, and they aren’t responding. Now you are under even more stress. Your frustrated. You feel more burned out than ever.  You may even slump into depression. You think your people are lazy. They’re not the problem.  You see what got you there at the beginning was great!  But now that your business is grown, what once got you there, isn’t going to get you there now.  You don’t need to do different you need to “be” different. That is the beauty of Chris Clearfield’s book “The High-Altitude Entrepreneur”.  He has to together the High-Altitude framework that takes you step by step through a process where you can start removing yourself, so you can truly rely on others. Is it easy? Nope. Is it a quick fix? Nope. Will change your business for the better? Yep.  Will it change your life for the better? You bet! This is one of those books that if you have the guts to do it, will fundamentally change your business and you.  The book is worth every penny.

The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

James Scott describes Curtis LeMay as a pragmatic, "hardscrabble" problem-solver who put himself through college by working nights in a steel mill. Replacing Hansel after only 44 days, LeMay realizes that high-altitude bombing is an "unsolvable equation" given the weather variables. He revamps maintenance, embraces radar, and demonstrates a ruthless focus on results, such as bypassing bureaucracy to pay native tribes in opium for the rescue of downed airmen. The sources also detail the American development of napalm, which was tested on a mock Japanese village in the Utah desert. This village, built with authentic tatami mats and sliding doors, was repeatedly burned to determine how best to exploit Japan's "Achilles heel": its dense wooden architecture. War planners identified specific "incendiary zones" in cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka that were highly susceptible to fire, providing LeMay with the data needed to transition from pinpoint strategic targets to mass urban destruction. 3/81943 LEMAY

James Scott introduces General Haywood Hansel, an intellectual strategist tasked with using the expensive and "buggy" B-29 Superfortress to destroy Japan's industrial capacity in late 1944. Hansel is a pioneer of high-altitude daylight strategic bombing, a theory suggesting that precision strikes on refineries and bridges can collapse a modern economy like a "house of cards." However, the European campaign proved this strategy was often a long, painful slog rather than a quick fix. Hansel faces immense pressure from General Hap Arnold, the commander of the Army Air Forces, who is desperate to prove air power can be an independent, war-winning arm. Arnold, suffering from multiple heart attacks due to the stress of competing with the Army and Navy, views the war against Japan as a "blank canvas" for the Air Force. Consequently, Hansel is expected to bomb Japan out of the war to avoid a catastrophic ground invasion. 1/81945 OPPENHEIMER AND GROVES 

High-altitude precision bombing fails in Japan primarily due to notorious Pacific weather and violent jet streams with winds reaching 230 mph, which wreck bomber accuracy. The B-29, which cost $3.7 billion to develop—more than the atomic bomb—is a brand-new, unrefined aircraft prone to frequent engine fires. Crews face grueling 3,000-mile roundtrip missions over a "dark forbidding ocean" with no place to land if they take damage. Early raids, such as those against the Nakajima aircraft factory, prove disappointing, destroying only 1% of the target while Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft guns in "Flack Alley" take a heavy toll on the bombers. This frustration leads to a growing debate about abandoning precision strikes for firebombing cities, a tactic the British already used in Germany. While top leadership initially favored strategic bombing, the massive investment in city-wrecking weapons like the atomic bomb suggests they are open to more radical, destructive changes. 2/81953

The strike at JBS's plant in Greeley will start on March 16. The strike comes after the workers gave notice of cancellation of their contract due to alleged unfair labor practices.  JBS was one of about 20 food companies that settled a 2024 federal lawsuit for over $200 million over employee wage fixing. JBS says it employs more than 270,000 people around the world — 3,800 of whom are based in Greeley, where JBS USA is headquartered — and pays $3.1 billion for livestock each year, making it the world's largest meat supplier.

According to the NCLA's case summary, APHIS in 2013 allowed several forms of official identification for certain interstate cattle and bison movements, including both visual-only and electronically readable ear tags. But in May 2024, APHIS issued a final rule requiring that official ear tags sold for or applied to certain cattle and bison be readable both visually and electronically. The plaintiffs' March 5 summary judgment brief argues that the USDA did not adequately justify the change and that the rule imposes added costs on producers while failing to solve the agency's stated traceability concerns. In the filing, plaintiffs said the rule “mandates that America's ranchers and farmers use visually-readable electronic identification (“EID”) ear tags when moving certain cattle and bison interstate” and argued the rule “increases the cost of raising cattle by approximately $3 per head.” The NCLA said the USDA had previously agreed visual-only tags were effective in tracing disease in cattle and bison and had allowed producers to choose between visual-only and electronically readable options. The group now argues the 2024 rule abandoned that flexibility without sufficiently explaining the change. The organization also contends the current rule is internally inconsistent because it says EID ear tags are needed to reduce transcription errors tied to “human error,” while still allowing those same tags to be used visually in the same manner as traditional tags if producers do not use electronic readers. The USDA, however, says animal disease traceability is important for quickly identifying where diseased and at-risk animals are, where they have been, and when they were there. On its Animal Disease Traceability page, APHIS says traceability does not prevent disease but “reduces the number of animals and response time involved in a disease investigation,” which in turn reduces the economic impact on owners and affected communities. APHIS also says it provides electronic ID tags to cattle producers at no cost through state veterinarian offices. The case remains active in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. David McCarty, a sleep physician based in Colorado and Chief Medical Officer for REBIS HEALTH, to discuss the unique challenges of diagnosing and treating central sleep apnea at high altitude. Living and practicing sleep medicine in Colorado has given Dr. McCarty extensive experience managing altitude-related central sleep apnea, a condition that affects many residents and visitors to elevated regions. The conversation begins with fundamental questions: Is central sleep apnea normal at altitude? What physiological mechanisms drive its development? Dr. McCarty explains the prevalence patterns across different elevations, from Denver's mile-high altitude to extreme elevations like 10,000 feet, and whether there's a threshold where everyone develops central events. Practical diagnostic considerations receive detailed attention: Should patients be tested at their home altitude? How are titration studies conducted in high-altitude settings? What testing equipment best identifies central apneas, and should central hypopneas be scored? Dr. McCarty discusses the high prevalence of treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA) at altitude and how many patients present with mixed obstructive and central patterns, complicating treatment decisions. The episode provides essential guidance for clinicians whose patients travel to high altitude destinations. What PAP adjustments should be made? How should EPR (expiratory pressure relief) settings be modified? Dr. McCarty walks through his decision-making framework for when to treat altitude-related central apnea, emphasizing the importance of patient education before ascension. Treatment options are systematically reviewed: pressure adjustments, the role of BPAP therapy, when to consider ASV, acetazolamide use, and supplemental oxygen. Dr. McCarty discusses whether pre-emptive treatment is appropriate for patients planning high-altitude travel and provides practical protocols for managing both residents who live at altitude and visitors experiencing acute exposure. The conversation emphasizes patient-centered approaches, considering not just the physiological aspects of altitude-related breathing disturbances but also the practical realities of treating patients in mountain communities and preparing lowland residents for high-altitude adventures. Whether you practice in elevated regions, have patients who travel to altitude destinations, or simply want to understand the physiology behind altitude-related central sleep apnea, this episode provides essential clinical guidance. Join us for this informative discussion about a condition that affects millions living at or traveling to high elevations.

This episode covers: • Microplastics Are Destroying Male Fertility and Metabolism New research is putting microplastics in a category most men still are not taking seriously: direct reproductive and hormone risk. A 2024 study detected microplastics in every human testicle examined, with polyethylene and PVC among the most common polymers. PVC is especially relevant because it's often tied to chemical additives that can disrupt endocrine signaling. The broader body of evidence points to micro- and nanoplastics crossing barriers like the blood–testis barrier, driving inflammation and oxidative stress in the testes, and showing associations with impaired sperm quality and hormone disruption. The longevity move here is reducing overall load: better water filtration, less plastic food contact, no heating food in plastic, fewer packaged foods, and taking indoor dust and air quality seriously, especially for men thinking about fertility now or hormone resilience over decades. • Sources: – Study (PubMed): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38745431/ – Coverage: https://people.com/microplastics-in-every-human-testicle-infertility-8651215 • Fear of Aging Is Linked to Faster Biological Aging A new study ties aging anxiety to measurable acceleration in biological aging using DNA methylation clocks. People who reported more worry and negative beliefs about aging showed faster epigenetic aging signals, and the molecular differences clustered around stress and inflammatory pathways. In plain terms, chronic threat-mode thinking around aging maps onto biology that looks older on the clocks. For a longevity audience, this is a practical reminder that mental inputs affect physiological outputs. If your day-to-day mindset is constant pressure and decline narratives, that can show up downstream in stress biology and inflammatory tone. A smarter play is building a longevity framework around function, strength, purpose, and community, alongside the usual pillars like sleep, training, and metabolic health. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-older-links-health-faster-epigenetic.html • Additional source: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2026/february/aging-anxiety.html • Retatrutide, the Triple-Agonist Weight-Loss Drug Pushing Bariatric-Level Results Retatrutide is a triple agonist that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, and the weight-loss numbers being reported are massive. In a 68-week study in people with obesity and knee osteoarthritis, the highest dose group averaged about 28.7% body-weight loss, along with meaningful improvements in knee pain and function. This is the next phase of incretin medicine: multi-agonist drugs that can move body weight by a quarter or more. For biohackers, the performance and longevity angle is implementation: preserving lean mass through resistance training, hitting protein targets, monitoring micronutrients, and building a maintenance plan that doesn't collapse the moment the drug stops. The upside is cardiometabolic risk reduction at scale. The key is running it with structure. • Sources: – Eli Lilly release: https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-triple-agonist-retatrutide-delivered-weight-loss-average – Coverage: https://nypost.com/2026/02/18/health/people-dropped-out-of-retatrutide-trial-for-losing-too-much-weight/ – Background: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2026/02/whats-next-for-glp-1s/ • AI Can Predict 130 Diseases From a Single Night of Sleep Stanford's SleepFM project shows how much long-horizon health information is encoded in sleep. Researchers trained a foundation model on roughly 585,000 hours of clinical polysomnography data from about 65,000 people. From a single night of sleep study signals, the model could estimate risk for 130 conditions, including dementia, heart attack, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and all-cause mortality, and it generalized across cohorts better than simple demographic baselines. The big implication is that sleep architecture and micro-patterns (stage distribution, fragmentation, breathing stability, micro-arousals) function like a dense biomarker stream for systemic aging and disease risk. Expect better sensors and more validated risk dashboards over time. Right now, this is another reason to treat sleep as a core diagnostic pillar, not just a recovery habit. • Sources: – Stanford Medicine: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/01/ai-sleep-disease.html – Paper (Nature Medicine): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04133-4 • Living at High Altitude May Protect Against Diabetes by Turning Red Blood Cells Into Glucose Sinks For years, population data has suggested lower diabetes rates at higher elevations. New mechanistic work is pointing to a surprising driver: red blood cells changing how they handle glucose under low oxygen conditions. In hypoxia, red blood cells can behave like glucose sinks, pulling more sugar out of circulation and improving glucose tolerance, which may help explain the protective association seen at altitude. The downstream potential is a new class of altitude-mimetic approaches that target erythrocyte metabolism as a glucose lever, separate from appetite suppression or classic diabetes pathways. For biohackers, it expands the metabolic toolkit and reinforces that oxygen environment and blood physiology matter more than we've given them credit for. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-red-blood-cells-sugar-high.html • Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act and the Future of Supplement Access A proposed bill is aiming to stop states from layering extra rules on dietary supplements beyond federal law, creating one national standard instead of a patchwork of state-by-state restrictions. Industry groups are supporting it as a way to reduce confusion and compliance chaos, especially as some states explore age limits or special labeling requirements for certain supplement categories. The strategic implication for biohackers is that regulation shapes access. Uniformity can stabilize availability, but it also raises the stakes of federal decisions on controversial ingredients. This is one of those policy stories that quietly determines what stays on shelves, what disappears, and how much innovation survives in the supplement space. • Sources: – NutritionInsight: https://www.nutritioninsight.com/news/npa-crn-supplements-us-fda-legislation.html – Congressional release: https://langworthy.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-langworthy-introduces-dietary-supplement-regulatory-uniformity-act – NutraIngredients: https://www.nutraingredients.com/Article/2026/02/05/new-bill-aims-to-end-state-supplement-regulations/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

A RADICAL SHIFT TO LOW-ALTITUDE NIGHT BOMBING Colleague James M. Scott. LeMay concluded that high-altitude precision bombing would never work over Japan. He devised a secret, perilous plan to switch to low-altitude night bombing, dropping the B-29s from 30,000 feet to just 5,000 feet. To prepare his crews, he forced them to fly training missions at 50 feet, despite their fears. LeMay knew Tokyo was largely composed of dense wooden structures, describing the city as a "Hollywood backdrop" of westernization masking a fragile infrastructure. He also knew Japan'sfire response relied on antiquated equipment and bucket brigades, leaving the city defenseless against mass fire. NUMBER 4 1945 OKINAWA

Listen to 144 Future Now Show  Bobby is on the road this week, but we do hear from him briefly. There are some fascinating developments of late, including the development of 100x faster and much cheaper optical computing, biomimicry applied to making a painless needle and cheap non-clogging micro printer nozzles from a mosquito’s probiscus, a fish filter for sifting out microplastics from your washing machine.  Meanwhile NASA has lofted a massive high altitude helium balloon into the Stratosphere above the Antarctic, to study the weather and to look for evidence of the elusive Dark Matter, yet to be seen physically. And a motherload of lithium has been discovered in a volcanic caldera on the Nevada Oregon border, enough to create Lithium based batteries for dozens of years, freeing us from the tyranny of other countries controlling the supply.  We conclude with a fascinating exoplanet discovery where the atmosphere potentially rains diamonds!  And Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and New Year to you!

Welcome to episode 540 of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast. A Holiday Replay of episode 495 with Will Schafer. Will is the Founder of Altisnooze, The Sleep Aid for High-Altitude. This week, on episode 495, I'm talking with Will Schafer, founder of ALTISNOOZE. The First-of-its-kind sleep aid for high-altitude. After struggling for years with sleeping during alpine adventures, Schafer came to learn from a sleep doctor that altitude insomnia is a thing. He connected with formulation experts to develop a natural solution, ALTISNOOZE. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter  HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com What Happened: For years, I chalked up my awful sleep in the mountains to bad luck. Every time I went to Summit County, Colorado, my nights were a mess—staring at the ceiling, waking up feeling like I'd been run over by a snowcat, and then trying to enjoy the outdoors while running on fumes. I blamed it on travel, excitement, bad pillows—you name it. But then I started noticing something weird. Friends on ski trips and camping adventures were having the same problem. Some of them, tough-as-nails hikers and backcountry warriors, were walking around like zombies after a single night at altitude. That's when I met Dr. Michael Breus, a legit sleep doctor, who hit me with a truth bomb: altitude insomnia is real. And worse? It affects up to 75% of people. Your body's struggling with low oxygen, which wrecks your sleep cycle, making it nearly impossible to rest. So, I set out on a mission to fix it. After a deep dive into research, testing a ridiculous amount of natural ingredients, and countless sleepless nights (for science), I created Altisnooze—a sleep aid designed specifically for high-altitude adventures, without the grogginess of melatonin. Principle: Bad sleep = bad adventure. Period. You can have the best gear, the most epic trail planned, and a perfect sunrise waiting for you—but if you don't sleep well, your trip is going to suck. Most people don't even realize altitude is the issue. They just assume they're bad sleepers, or that their body needs to "adjust." But waiting around for a week to acclimate? Not ideal when your trip is only a few days long. Good sleep isn't just about comfort—it's about performance, recovery, and actually enjoying the adventure you planned. Transition: A lot of outdoor lovers deal with this and don't even realize what's holding them back. They push through exhaustion, drink too much caffeine, or try to knock themselves out with melatonin—only to wake up feeling worse. That's exactly why I created Altasnooze. Because when you finally fix your sleep at altitude, everything changes—your energy, your performance, your mood, and most importantly, how much fun you have. That's Why: …we want to introduce you to Altisnooze and just dropped an episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast with Will Schaefer, founder of Altisnooze. He went from being a sleep-deprived mess in the mountains to developing a game-changing solution for adventurers who want to feel fabulous at altitude. In this episode, we dive into the science of altitude insomnia, how it messes with your body, and what you can do to fix it—so your next high-altitude trip doesn't turn into a sleepless disaster. Call to Action: If you've ever struggled to sleep in the mountains, this episode is your wake-up call. (Pun intended.) Don't let altitude ruin your adventure—get the inside scoop on fixing your sleep at high elevation and feeling your best.

A Radical Change in Tactics — James M. Scott — LeMay devises a clandestine, revolutionary operational plan to fundamentally reverse bombing doctrine from high-altitude daylight precision raids to low-altitude nocturnal firebombing operations, ordering B-29 aircraft to execute bombing runs at merely 5,000 feet altitude to evade the destructive jet stream phenomenon while simultaneously transporting substantially increased incendiary weapon payloads. Scottdocuments that LeMay deliberately targets the densely populated working-class district of Asakusa in Tokyo, strategically recognizing that Japan's predominant wooden residential infrastructure constitutes a "wood pile" catastrophically vulnerable to uncontrolled conflagration. Scott emphasizes that LeMay makes this strategically transformative decision unilaterally, deliberately withholding operational details from Washington headquarters, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his superior command structure, thereby executing military operations without institutional authorization or oversight from civilian and military leadership. 1931 TOKYO

Listen to 140 Future Now Show Besides our usual engaging selves and stories to share with you this week, we thought we’d create a little AI media experiment..We were thinking..with all the AI’s around these days, could we round them up and work “Excuse me, but may I adjust your attitude, just a little?”with them as a team for creating more insight into our weekly stories? We wondered.. what if we could get two arch rival AI’s to collaborate with each other for parts of our show? So.. we asked Ara (Grok 4.1)and her capable competitor, Gemini 3 Live, to join us together, in exploring some content for today’s podcast. Well, honestly, we didn’t even need to ask them to play along, they are already pre-disposed to try whatever we suggest, within the latest guardrails.  And suprisingly, for the first time, we were able to initiate a satisfying conversation where they met for the first time and then played nice with each other for our show! This felt like the beginning of something beautiful, truly..the start of their relationship in collaboration with the likes of us is looking good so far.. Curious what you think of our interactions.. even better, you can try this for yourselves! For those of you who want to go deeper with this, check out this clip, where we explored with Ara and Gemini how to create Warp Drive. Enjoy..    

Hello Poison Friends! We are back with more horrible acts committed by Nazis in WWII. The focus for this episode is a series of experiments done mainly at Dachau, as far as we know from records that were recovered, and they centered around proposals put forth by the Air Force and Navy in Nazi Germany at that time. I will also go over some of the doctors and other personnel responsible for these horrors, such as Dr. Sigmund Rascher, and what eventually became of them. The High Altitude experiments involved forcing prisoners into a machine that could be sealed and allowed for serious pressure changes. The idea was to test the reaction of the human body to free fall from the heights of up to 68,900 ft. The pressure and lack of oxygen at that height would be devastating, especially when forced into a quick ascent and just dropped. However, this is what hundreds were made to experience in the chamber they were sealed in. Many died as a result.The Freezing Experiments were also torture. Prisoners were subjected to freezing water or made to stand naked in the freezing cold outside to simulate hypothermia and the like. They practiced various rewarming techniques on these victims as well. There were many deaths from these as well. We are also discussing experiments done on prisoners (some who had also survived previous experiments) in which they were starved and given seawater to drink.

10 Hours | Hear the gentle trickle of cold mountain water flowing steadily downhill in the beautiful state of Colorado, USA. - - -

In this episode of the World Extreme Medicine Podcast, host Eoin Walker is joined by Hannah Lock, an emergency medicine doctor, expedition specialist, and seasoned mountaineer with experience across six continents. Together, they go beyond the basics of acute mountain sickness (AMS) to explore the lesser-known high-altitude illnesses and how they're managed in the field.From HAPE and HACE to retinal haemorrhages, chronic mountain sickness, high-altitude cough, frostbite, and the impact of altitude on muscle mass and sleep, this deep dive unpacks the realities clinicians and expedition leaders face at altitude.Hannah also shares insights on managing risk in clients with comorbidities, new technologies shaping safety in the mountains, and practical strategies for hydration, acclimatisation, and performance at elevation.Learn more about Hannah and her work here.

The championship fight is heating up as F1 heads to the high-altitude chaos of Mexico City! Max Verstappen is closing in on both McLarens, while Oscar Piastri's on a 4-race slump that's starting to raise eyebrows. Will the thin air give McLaren and Ferrari enough punch to fight back—or is Red Bull about to dominate south of the border? We're breaking down the altitude advantage, the fiesta energy that makes this race one of the wildest weekends on the F1 calendar, and what to expect when the lights go out at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Al Lagunas is the co-founder of Levee, an AI-driven vision-and-voice platform that converts room inspections into verified data and automated workflows. A first-generation Mexican American from Chicago, Al's people-first lens was shaped by his mom's hotel housekeeping career. Susan and Al talk about pitching, personalization, and productivity. What You'll Learn About: • How physical and digital products sell differently • Lessons from scaling a startup  • The people-first lens Al brings from his family's housekeeping roots • "Time to Value" as the overlooked metric in hotel ops • How Levee's one-button vision and voice AI verifies room setup • Real-time feedback that gets new housekeepers to three-month performance by their fourth room • Closing the personalization fulfillment gap • The near-future mix of human teams plus AI agents and robotics Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Time to Value Is More Important Than “Training Time” Al reframed the industry's labor challenge: the real problem isn't a shortage of workers, but how quickly hotels can turn new hires into valuable contributors. Instead of focusing on a 10–20 day training period, operators should measure “time to value”—how fast a team member begins producing quality work. Using Levy's AI-assisted inspections, new housekeepers reached the performance level of 3–6 month veterans after cleaning just four rooms, which radically reduces onboarding friction. 2. Personalization Requires Operational Fulfillment, Not Just Data Guest personalization has long been a “white whale” in hospitality, but Al emphasized that data alone isn't enough. Knowing a guest's coffee preference or pillow type doesn't matter unless the front-line team can reliably act on it. Levy addresses this by making room setup checklists dynamic and verifiable, turning guest data into consistent fulfillment. This shifts personalization from an abstract idea to a repeatable process embedded in daily operations. 3. The Workforce of the Future Will Be People + AI Agents Al predicts that hotel back-of-house teams will evolve into a hybrid workforce of humans, AI agents, and robotics. Instead of viewing AI as a replacement, he sees it as an extension of labor—helping staff complete inspections, surface data, and automate tasks. This diversification enables leaner, more efficient teams while also opening the door for new types of roles and responsibilities as hospitality operations modernize.

Season 6 continues with our mid-week banter episode of The Photography Pubcast—zero pixel-peeping, maximum stories. Dave drops a wild US road-trip saga (hello high-altitude cerebral edema, wheelchairs, and sheer grit), including the hot take: “Yellowstone is an abomination.” Jamie unveils his retirement side quest: metal detecting in Roman-rich Peterborough (coins, brooches, even a medieval gold ring). Daz reveals a big house move after 21 years (and a monster fence build), while Sam returns to guitar and AI stem-splitting to revive old band demos—Beatles-style workflows without the studio bill. Gary quits cricket, angles for golf, and somehow leads us into the great sock–shoe order debate.We also clash (politely) on phones in schools, doom-scrolling, and the future of newspapers and photography magazines in a streaming world. This is the second half of our new two-episode format: photography chat on Sundays, banter on Wednesdays—so tell us what you prefer.Jump in the comments:• Sock order—right-left or left-right? Sock–sock or sock–shoe?• Should phones be banned in schools?• Do you still buy print newspapers/magazines?• Metal detecting crew: your best Roman/medieval finds?If you enjoy photography podcasts, landscape chat, UK creatives, metal detecting, AI music, and real-world fieldcraft, smash Subscribe and ring the bell.

Adrian Ballinger is a renowned alpinist and mountain guide, and has summited Mt. Everest and K2 without supplemental oxygen.

The investigation continues into two unusual high-altitude encounters initially described as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drone sightings. Information gathered since the Flight Safety Detectives' first look at this incident has made these strange events seem like unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) incidents.In December 2024, a Delta 767 crew reported being shadowed for over an hour at 34,000 feet by multiple flashing red-and-white aircraft over New Mexico and Arizona—well above legal drone limits and invisible to ATC radar. FAA records later indicated four objects maneuvering close to the jet, one within 1,000 feet.Shortly after, a United 787 at 27,000 feet had a brief, separate encounter with a similar object. FOIA requests revealed details that made these cases more consistent with UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) than drones, given their altitude, endurance, and performance.Greg Feith, John Goglia, and Todd Curtis discuss aviation safety concerns, the FAA's lack of a dedicated UAP reporting system, and the stigma pilots face in reporting such events. Todd plans to mine FAA drone-incident data and Mandatory Occurrence Reports to identify other likely UAP encounters.
