Podcasts about highlanders

Freedom Vaha'akaolo's story is one of the wildest and most emotional you'll ever hear. He is one incredibly talented rugby player who certainly didn't take the typical pathway.From the age of just 11 years old he was homeless, eating from trash cans, and learning how to survive. Years later, he was scoring tries for Otago using his speed and power which earned him a spot with the Highlanders.During that time he was involved in a cruel catfish scam almost ended it all.In this episode, Freedom opens up about:- What made a kid with two loving parent want to be homeless- What life was like on the streets as a young teenager- The impact that moving to 7 new schools had on him- His identity struggle coming from mixed heritage and the impact that had.- How he made the NZ schools camp in basically his first year of rugby- His pathway into professional rugby and the challenges involved.- How an online relationship turned into a disaster being catfished,- And how he's rebuilt himself through faith, therapy, and sport again.It's raw. It's real. It's one of the most powerful stories ever shared on What a Lad and that is no exaggeration. Let me know what you thought about it in the comments

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! ¡Bienvenidos a este nuevo episodio! Hoy nos sumergimos en las brumosas Tierras Altas de Escocia para desvelar el origen y el profundo significado cultural de una de las prendas más icónicas y malentendidas del mundo: el Kilt. Más que una simple "falda", el kilt es un símbolo de identidad, resistencia y la historia militar de los clanes escoceses. En este episodio, viajaremos a los siglos XVI y XVII para conocer a su verdadero antecesor: el Gran Kilt (Feileadh Mòr), una ingeniosa pieza de lana de hasta ocho metros de largo que servía como vestimenta diurna, manta nocturna y escudo improvisado. 📜 Puntos Clave que Exploraremos: Antecedentes Gaélicos: ¿Cómo vestían los Highlanders antes del kilt? Descubrimos la Léine de lino azafrán y la importancia del Brat (la capa) en la supervivencia en el duro clima montañoso. La Evolución Industrial: La inesperada figura de un industrial inglés, Thomas Rawlinson, y su sastre, Iain MacIntyre, que separaron el Feileadh Mòr para crear el Kilt Pequeño (Feileadh Beag) por motivos de seguridad laboral. La Prohibición de 36 Años: El momento más oscuro y decisivo en la historia del kilt. Explicamos la Ley de Proscripción de 1746 impuesta por el gobierno británico tras la Batalla de Culloden, y cómo la prohibición convirtió al kilt en un ferviente símbolo de resistencia cultural y martirio. El Sistema del Tartán: Desmitificamos la conexión entre el tartán y el clan. Exploraremos cómo los patrones regionales de los tintes naturales se transformaron en un rígido sistema de identidad genealógica en el siglo XIX, impulsado por el romanticismo y la realeza británica (Jorge IV y la Reina Victoria). El Highland Dress Completo: Analizamos los accesorios esenciales que hacen del kilt un traje formal: el Sporran (la bolsa frontal), el Sgian-Dubh (el cuchillo ceremonial) y las reglas de protocolo que rigen su uso hoy en día. Acompáñanos a desenmascarar las capas de historia que envuelven a esta prenda. Si te apasiona la historia militar, la moda con trasfondo cultural o los orígenes de las tradiciones nacionales, este episodio es para ti. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎧 Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM Disfruta de todo el contenido sin interrupciones y con ventajas exclusivas en iVoox: 👉 https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 📻 Producción y realización: Antonio Cruz 🎙️ Edición: Antena Historia 📡 Antena Historia forma parte del sello iVoox Originals 🌐 Visita nuestra web: https://antenahistoria.com 📺 YouTube: Podcast Antena Historia 📧 Correo: antenahistoria@gmail.com 📘 Facebook: Antena Historia Podcast 🐦 Twitter: @AntenaHistoria 💬 Telegram: https://t.me/foroantenahistoria 💰 Apoya el proyecto: Donaciones en PayPal 📢 ¿Quieres anunciarte en Antena Historia?

There is never a good time to lose a veteran starter, but for North Carolina, this stretch of competition provides clear opportunity to work through the rough patches while playing without Seth Trimble.

Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the win and how Hubert Davis's squad managed without Trimble on the court. The Inside Carolina Podcast network features a wide range of current UNC sports topics, from game previews and instant postgame analysis, to recruiting breakdowns. IC's stable of writers, insiders and analysts -- plus special guests -- comprise each program. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Scott Fuglistaller was one of those champion team mates who did everything he could to be the best he could be. Unfortunately for the self acclaimed battler it was just never quite enough during his time at the Hurricanes competing with some pretty gifted athletes. He found a way though with moves to the Highlanders and then the Melbourne Rebels for him to become a regular Super Rugby starter and even captain. Sitting at a natural weight of around 80kgs, Scotty had to work so hard in the gym and with his diet to get to a weight that he could survive in the forwards at Super Rugby level. That came at a price, having 11 major surgeries during his career which took it's toll. Some other parts that stood out for me in this one were..The freedom Scotty had growing up which meant he grew up quickHow finding rugby was a turning point in his lifeHow he got from 80kg to 106kgsHis battles with self confidence and why he played his best under pressureWhy he moved to Japan and his time playing thereThe struggle of life after rugbyAnd how he landed in his current role of helping retired players tranisition with the NZRPA.As you'll hear Scotty has had a journey to get where he is, he's such a top man who will always put others first. Let me know what stood out for you in this one in the comments

The episode where the Doctor scoffs at romantic piffle. Is “camp follower” just a euphemism, or is it a broader thing? On this podcast, we would like a hat like that.

During the 1745 Jacobite Rising, Colonel Anne Mackintosh defied expectations by rallying the Mackintosh clan for Bonnie Prince Charlie—despite her husband fighting for the British government. Her leadership and cunning played a pivotal role in the Jacobite cause, culminating in the legendary Rout of Moy, where a handful of Highlanders tricked and routed a much larger British force.

Over more than a century, the Yankee pinstripes have perhaps become the most iconic uniform element in all of sports, instantly identifiable to fans everywhere. And 113 years ago this week, the New York then Highlanders announced they'd be wearing them for the first time. Mike and Bill looks back at the history of the uniform pinstripes, as well as the Old English D on Tigers uniforms, the Athletics' continued association with elephants as they migrated across the country, and more! Plus, happy birthday to Ray Brown and Wilbur Cooper! And farewell to Mark Bradley, Jim Lawrence, and Brian Matusz.
