Podcasts about Himalayas

The C-47 Dakota, or Skytrain as it was known in American service, was one of the most important aircraft of the Second World War. It carried paratroopers into battle, towed gliders packed with men and equipment, flew vital supplies to surrounded troops, and crossed some of the most inhospitable terrain on Earth. Yet the crews who flew these missions are often overshadowed by the fighter aces and bomber crews. Their job demanded a different kind of courage. Flying unarmed, often at low level and in tight formation, they were expected to stay on course, arrive on time and, even under heavy fire, resist the instinct to take evasive action. Whether over Normandy, Arnhem, Bastogne or the Himalayas, they played a vital role in Allied victory. Joining me today is Scott McGaugh, author of 'Into the Firestorm: The Allied Heroes Who Flew World War II's Most Daring Missions', to tell the story of the transport pilots who flew these extraordinary missions.

President Trump has announced a historic oil deal with Venezuela which grants the U.S. access to billions of barrels in proven reserves. FOX Business Network Contributor and Oil Market Analyst at the Price Futures Group Phil Flynn joins the Rundown to explain why the agreement could be a "generational game changer" for the nation's energy security, how it impacts the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the immediate impact on pump prices and why a "new era of low prices" is on the horizon. After devastating flooding and mudslides swept through the mountainous Nepal-China border, hundreds are dead and thousands remain missing, including dozens of Americans. As rescue crews work to reach isolated communities in the Himalayas and families search for loved ones, questions remain about what caused the catastrophic landslide and debris flow. Philip Prince, geologist with Appalachian Landslide Consultants and adjunct professor at Virginia Tech, joins the Rundown to explain what may have triggered the disaster and if early warnings can be provided in the future to populations at risk. PLUS, commentary by Ted Jenkin, President of Exit Stage Left Advisors and Host of The Red, White & Green Show. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His fourth choice, first released in January 2008, explores how the science of plate tectonics revolutionised our understanding of the planet on which we live. America is getting further away from Europe. This is not a political statement but a geological fact. Just as the Pacific is getting smaller, the Red Sea bigger, the Himalayas are still going up and one day the Horn of Africa will be a large island. This is the theory of plate tectonics, a revolutionary idea in 20th century geology that claimed the continents of Earth were dancing to the music of deep time. A dance of incredible slowness, yet powerful enough to throw up the mountains and pour away the oceans. Plate tectonics, the idea that the earth's surface moved on a carpet of molten magma, constituted a genuine scientific revolution in geology. It explained why mountains appeared and why earthquakes occurred; it explained the curious distribution of fossils across the globe and finally solved the age old conundrum of why continents such as Africa and South America appeared to fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Plate tectonics has made geologists, and many more besides, profoundly re-think what the Earth was, how it worked and how it related to all the things in it.

More than 165 people are dead and as many as 1,500 are unaccounted for following catastrophic floods devastating towns and valleys along the Nepal-Tibet border. In Nepal's hardest-hit Rasuwa region, videos show the power of the floodwaters as they tore apart bridges and swept people away. Authorities believe the disaster was triggered by a landslide associated with a glacial event in the Himalayas, which sent a massive surge of water.

Gaby Dijkstra is an outdoor enthusiast, solo traveller, and researcher with a passion for remote mountain environments. Whether climbing, skiing, or paragliding, she feels most at home in the mountains and has travelled to all seven continents, breaking barriers as a solo female adventurer. After years of working in education and girl empowerment projects, Gaby became increasingly curious about the construct of gender and how societal expectations shape our behaviours, opportunities, and experiences. This curiosity ultimately led her to pursue a PhD at Rotterdam School of Management, designing her own research project to investigate the role of gender in extreme environments. In 2024, Gaby spent 191 days in the Himalayas, including 132 days living on the mountains, conducting fieldwork during a full climbing season in Nepal. Her research explored the role of gender in the extreme mountaineering industry, particularly among the people who work and operate in these challenging environments. Along the way, she joined a commercial expedition to climb Ama Dablam, visited the Khumbu Icefall and the Manaslu region, and was invited to take part in an exclusive winter expedition to Annapurna I. Through interviews, observations, and lived experience, Gaby gathered what she describes as "a mountain of data" on how gender norms continue to shape the culture of mountaineering. In this episode, Gaby shares what she learned from her time in the Himalayas, why the traditional heroic narrative of mountaineering can be harmful to both men and women, and how understanding gender as a social construct can help us rethink leadership, decision-making, and belonging in extreme environments. Listen to this episode to learn about conducting a PhD in one of the world's most challenging landscapes, the hidden gender dynamics within the mountaineering industry, and why talking to other women and pursuing your curiosities can open doors to entirely new adventures. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

On today's Dark Realms, we take a look at one of India's most feared locations. Dow Hill rises above Kurseong on the mist-covered slopes of the Himalayas, where dense forest surrounds historic boarding schools and an isolated stretch known locally as the Death Road. For generations, guards, woodcutters and travellers have reported unexplained footsteps, children's voices inside empty buildings and figures moving silently between the trees. Tonight, we explore the history of this beautiful but deeply unsettling landscape—and the three alleged hauntings that have made Dow Hill one of India's most feared paranormal locations.Stay safe,Kevin.By making the choice of joining our Patreon team now, not only gives you early Ad-Free access to all our episodes, including video releases of our new Patreon only show "After Dark", you also get full access to the Patreon only podcast, "Dark Bites".We're giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

The Himalayas are one of the world's greatest biodiversity treasures, yet they are also among the most vulnerable mountain systems on Earth. Stretching across multiple countries and supporting millions of people, this extraordinary landscape is home to remarkable wildlife, diverse ecosystems, unique cultures, and some of Asia's most important freshwater sources. But rapid climate change, ecosystem degradation, habitat fragmentation, unsustainable development, and increasing human pressures are transforming the region at an unprecedented pace.In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Nakul Chettri, Senior Fellow and Associate Director of ATREE's Himalayan Initiative, to explore the future of Himalayan biodiversity conservation and why protecting these mountains is essential not only for wildlife, but also for people across South Asia.Growing up in the shadow of Kanchenjunga, Dr. Chettri shares how his childhood experiences inspired a lifelong journey into conservation science. He explains why the Eastern Himalayas are globally recognised as a biodiversity hotspot, where steep elevation gradients, tropical forests, alpine meadows, glaciers, and unique microclimates create exceptional levels of biodiversity and endemism. Alongside this ecological richness lies an equally remarkable cultural landscape shaped by indigenous communities whose knowledge and stewardship have protected these ecosystems for generations.The conversation explores how ATREE's Himalayan Initiative works at the intersection of science, policy, and local communities to address the complex relationship between conservation and sustainable development. Dr. Chettri highlights why community-based conservation remains one of the most effective approaches for protecting biodiversity while supporting livelihoods, and why indigenous knowledge is essential for long-term resilience.Climate change is one of the central themes of this discussion. Often called The Third Pole, the Himalayas contain the largest concentration of ice outside the Arctic and Antarctic. As glaciers retreat, rainfall patterns shift, and extreme weather events become more frequent, the consequences extend far beyond mountain communities, affecting water security, agriculture, biodiversity, and disaster risk throughout Asia. Dr. Chettri discusses these emerging challenges and explains why climate adaptation and ecosystem restoration must become central priorities for governments and conservation organisations alike.We also explore the importance of agroforestry, sustainable agriculture, and restoring degraded ecosystems to strengthen biodiversity while improving rural livelihoods. Dr. Chettri explains why restoring forests alone is not enough and how integrated landscape approaches can simultaneously support food security, climate resilience, and wildlife conservation.Another fascinating part of the discussion focuses on the overlooked importance of rangelands and pastoral communities. These high-altitude ecosystems support unique wildlife, store significant amounts of carbon, and provide livelihoods for indigenous pastoralists, yet they remain poorly understood and increasingly threatened by changing land use and climate pressures.Human-wildlife conflict is another growing concern throughout the Eastern Himalayas. Dr. Chettri discusses practical approaches to reducing conflicts between people and wildlife—including elephants—and explains why coexistence requires both scientific solutions and meaningful community participation.Since wildlife and ecosystems do not recognise political boundaries, we also examine why transboundary conservation is essential across the Himalayan region. Countries must work together to conserve shared landscapes, protect ecological connectivity, and build resilience against climate change. Dr. Chettri also reflects on his contributions to the IPBES Global Assessment, sharing insights into how global biodiversity science can influence national conservation policy and international decision-making.Whether you're interested in wildlife, ecology, climate science, conservation policy, ecosystem restoration, or sustainable development, this conversation offers a comprehensive look at one of Earth's most important mountain ecosystems and the people working to protect it.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share to support independent conservation conversations.

If you're a woman in her 40s, 50s, and 60s and you're navigating pre-menopause and menopause and you're feeling exhausted. Your guts are all a mess and you're wondering what to do. Well, you've entered the wild, wild west of menopause. Because everybody has a different theory. Today’s guest, Cindy Dupuie is here to help us untangle that mess, get some clear guidance and direction. She's a functional medicine practitioner nutritionist, whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, bloodwork, and women in their pause years. So join us for a very revealing conversation! After Western medicine failed to provide Cindy Dupuie with any hope of healing her health crisis or relieving her from chronic illness, she took matters into her own hands. By following functional medicine's, root cause approach, Cindy healed herself. She became a nutritionist, and has been certified in functional medicine since 2008. Cindy is the founder of A Living Balance. Where her wellness practice is focused on diet and lifestyle modification to improve metabolic health, diabetes, heart disease, and to reverse the aging process by finding the root cause of chronic disease and by correcting any imbalances found within the digestive system, in hormones, or in the detoxification system.

She's a functional medicine practitioner/nutritionist whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, blood work, and women in their Pause years. It's her goal to educate and empower women to advocate for themselves. Cindy received her BS degree in Dietetics many moons ago and then found Functional Medicine over 23 years ago when she was going through a very difficult time in her life- her digestive system was rebelling like a teenager, and was thrown into an early menopause at the age of 43. Since that time, she's never looked back and has helped 100's of clients heal through the functional medicine lens. One of Cindy's super powers is to research, connect the dots, listen and to teach. She likes to dig deep. She doesn't take things at face value. She's happiest when she's in front of an audience, even an audience of one. Along with helping her ladies in her 1:1 telehealth practice, she offers courses, lab work assessments and teaches yoga. She's also a mom and grandma. Her main goal is to help women have the ability to be their own healthcare advocate.

Love is shared. We love God through loving our Brothers and Sisters. In order to receive God's love requires we are willing to give love. Giving is the proof that we have it. I give to receive and to be aware I have received. We receive the love through giving it. We are not people who run off to the Himalayas and meditate in a cave, but we are very engaged with people. Our mission involves humanity. The rest of the world is not in a state of Peace and Joy. Our job, our mission in life is to uplift humanity to another dimension of Divine Reality, one soul at a time. There are people we are meant to reach. They are already in our lives, most likely, to whom we can give our care, our insight, our complete acceptance and forgiveness. We can be still and "quietly do nothing" but invite in the Holy Spirit to set all things right. The Holy Spirit is the Power that does all the work.

Join Alexander and Viki for this fascinating conversation. Join us to find out more! Alexander and Viki are a husband and wife team. Each of them have been through their own individual extensive personal journeys that taught them to balance masculine and feminine energies through their work together. The answers they had been seeking to life’s questions were found hidden in a regular “deck of playing cards.” Feeling called to share the ancient wisdom they had discovered, it was their love story that inspired their collaboration with The Source Cards. Now, together for over a decade, Alexander and Viki offer your soul’s game plan for life on earth through 13 plus cards and weekly motivational messages to help you align with the unseen rhythms shaping your life path. Watch or listen to the show for tips to clarify your path forward, dissolve your self-limiting patterns, and master the game of life. You’re Invited!

Blending coaching and healing, masculine and feminine, they guide others to clarify their path forward, dissolve self-limiting patterns, and master the game of life. Alexander's Path: With a merit scholarship to attend Harvard, a state championship final in tennis, a gold medal in rowing, and a successful career as a Wall Street consultant, the trajectory of Alexander’s life was nonetheless set at age 17 when he experienced a surprising spiritual awakening. It began for him a spiritual quest through Evangelical Christianity, Roman Catholic seminary, India, ayahuasca, indigenous traditions, and every esoteric system until he discovered the ancient Book of Life hidden in plain sight as a “deck of 52 playing cards.” Viki's Path: A successful model who’s walked runways around the world and a jazzy singer-songwriter with her own studio album, Viki’s true calling only arrived when an energy healer did for her what doctors couldn’t do: heal her medical issue. It initiated her on a journey to awaken her own gift as an energy healer. Along the way, she rediscovered the spirituality she’d lost as a little girl who used to get so nauseous in church that she had to get out to get fresh air. Now, as an adult, she has realized of herself that she is a clear channel of Source healing energy.

More than twenty-five years ago, John Wood was a rising Microsoft executive with a demanding job and a packed passport. A trek through Nepal changed everything. After encountering a rural school with empty library shelves, Wood made a promise to a headmaster that would eventually lead him to leave his corporate career behind and found Room to Read — an organization that has since built tens of thousands of libraries and reached over 26 million children across 20 countries.  In this conversation, John shares:  The moment in the Himalayas that sparked his decision to leave Microsoft  How he applied business discipline — benchmarking Room to Read's growth against Starbucks' post-IPO expansion — to scale a nonprofit faster than a Fortune 500 company  Why local ownership and community buy-in (not "helicopter philanthropy") became core to Room to Read's model  The origin of Room to Read's local-language publishing program, which has produced over 1,700 original children's titles  Why he launched a second organization, Ugo, to fund university scholarships for young women in low-income countries  The economics behind U-Go's $800-per-year scholarship model and its "zero leakage" funding structure  His advice for anyone considering a major career or life pivot toward purpose-driven work    Chapters: 00:00 A Pivotal Moment in Nepal 04:35 The Path to Scaling Impact 10:00 Productizing Philanthropy and Engagement 16:00 Local Empowerment and Cultural Solutions 22:00 Sustaining Motivation Through Challenges 26:40 Introducing U-Go: A New Vision  32:00 Creating Long-Term Educational Stability 40:10 Effective Altruism and Fundraising 44:10 Advice and Closing Thoughts

In this episode of the Sushant Pradhan Podcast, Yogi Byaghra Ved Nath, a Nepalese spiritual practitioner, shares profound insights into Nepal's spiritual identity, the significance of Pashupatinath, Gorakhnath, and the mysterious Chausath Yogini tradition. The conversation explores what Nepal truly represents, why it has remained a spiritual center for centuries, the meaning of consciousness and energy, and why so many people from the West are embracing Eastern spirituality. Yogi Byaghra Ved Nath also explains who the gods are from a spiritual perspective, the purpose of meditation, the science behind Kundalini, yoga, and inner transformation. The discussion also covers the logic behind avoiding garlic, onion, and alcohol in spiritual practices, the symbolism of temple architecture, why Nepal is known as the Land of Gorakhnath, and the importance of preserving Nepal's ancient spiritual heritage through the Chausath Yogini mission. He also shares his personal journey into becoming a yogi, the role of discipline, Dharma, and how Nepal's youth can reconnect with their spiritual roots. If you're interested in Nepal spirituality, meditation, yoga philosophy, Sanatan Dharma, consciousness, Pashupatinath Temple, Gorakhnath, Chausath Yogini, Eastern spirituality, and spiritual awakening, this episode offers a unique perspective on Nepal's timeless wisdom.

On today's episode, we welcome Ravi Prasad, Co-Founder of Almora Botanica — a luxury, natural and sustainable skincare brand bringing together Ayurvedic wisdom, Himalayan botanicals, adaptogens, green chemistry and modern science. After decades working in Ayurvedic medicine and wellness, including leading Himalaya Wellness Company, Ravi saw a major gap in skincare: too many products treat symptoms, not the root cause. In this episode, Ravi shares why he made the shift from Ayurvedic medicine and supplements into skincare, and how Almora Botanica is taking a “pharma to farm” approach rooted in the Himalayas. He breaks down the idea of researched Ayurveda, why Indian beauty is finally gaining momentum in the luxury market, and how the brand's Sapta Complex is challenging the perception that Ayurvedic oils have to feel heavy or greasy. We also talk about COSMOS NATURAL certification, green chemistry, the “If you won't eat it, don't wear it” philosophy, and why today's consumers are looking more closely at what they put on their skin. A must-listen for founders, operators, and anyone interested in the future of beauty, skincare, wellness, sustainability and how ancient traditions are being validated by modern science.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

If you want to escape to the profound stillness of the Himalayan foothills, a good place to start is by reading Indian writer Anuradha Roy's latest book, Called by the Hills. A conversation about living with wild animals on her doorstep and her roof, cultivating a deep connection to nature and how the Himalayas are changing.

For three decades, most of Wall Street has treated energy and commodities as a rounding error, or as a small slice of the portfolio rather than the physical foundation everything else runs on. But in mid-2026, with the Strait of Hormuz disrupted, tankers burning in the Red and Black Seas, and nearly half of Russia's refining capacity knocked offline, that complacency is being tested in real time. The noise around increasing crude oil prices is loud, but this week's guest argues that the signal beneath it – the decline of refined products like diesel and jet fuel – is already sounding the alarm bells of a world in crisis. In this episode, Nate is joined by Jeff Currie for a wide-boundary look at what happens when the buffers that have suppressed energy price signals for fifty years finally run dry. Using his decades of experience as a former commodity strategist at Goldman Sachs and as a current senior advisor at The Carlyle Group, Jeff walks through why the "crack spread" between crude and refined products just hit its highest level in three decades. He also describes why draining strategic reserves is, in actuality, simply a bet that scarcity can be avoided rather than solved – in Currie's eyes, the West's refusal to admit scarcity since the 70s has left it structurally unprepared, particularly compared to China's security-driven build-out of nuclear, solar, and battery capacity. He also lays out the "Grand Bargain" underlying the postwar dollar system, wherein the U.S. protects global sea lanes in exchange for global trade running through New York. Jeff explains why a failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could unravel this arrangement, bringing forward consequences that would land hardest on middle-class Americans' access to credit and consumption. Is the world entering a new commodity supercycle driven by scarcity and deglobalization, or is the market going to keep shrugging off these shocks? What might it mean for ordinary people if the credit and dollar system that has funded American consumption for eighty years starts to break down? And if, as Jeff argues, we are only in "the foothills of the Himalayas," how much higher does this climb go before societies are forced to reckon with the physical limits behind the price signals? (Conversation recorded on July 23rd, 2026)   About Jeff Currie: Jeff Currie is the Chief Strategy Officer at Altis Partners. Previously, Jeff served as Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle and currently serves as a Senior Advisor to the firm. Jeff's analysis focuses on the energy and commodity markets and the supply chain central to an energy transition. Jeff is the former Global Head of Commodities Research at Goldman Sachs, where he helped to build their commodities business. During his nearly three decades at the firm, he became one of the leading commodity market strategists on Wall Street, known for advising clients through the commodity "super cycle" of the 2000s, the shale supply shock of the 2010s, and most recently the twin shocks of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Time for our weekly travel segment Heading Off, your chance to experience some amazing adventures without leaving the comfort of your home. We'd love to hear from you if you have a great travel story to share. It doesn't need to be particularly exotic, just memorable. Today we're heading off to Nepal with listener Blair Hiscoke, who spent five weeks travelling through the Himalayas, walking to Makalu Base Camp, crossing three high-altitude passes, and eventually making his way into the Everest Valley.

Kristi Neidhardt , a local Realtor, and Rachael Acevedo are preparing to trek through the Himalayas to Mount Everest Base Camp as part of Climb for Love, a fundraiser benefiting Grace Bomb. Today, the pair discusses what inspired the challenge, the physical and mental training involved, and their goal of raising more than $50,000 to help Grace Bomb distribute cards that encourage practical acts of kindness worldwide. The women are covering their own travel expenses, allowing all donations to support the nonprofit's work. To make a donation, click here and select "Climb for Love" in the dropdown! Grace Bomb founder Pat Linnell also joins the conversation to explain how the Annapolis-area initiative grew into a worldwide movement and why even a small act of kindness can have a lasting impact.

When did we need life to be so predictable and safe that it siphoned all the adventure and aliveness out? The antidote is questions and initiations to open the mystery back up by challenging everything we think we know. And our guest today, Lincoln Stoller, is here to invite us to some interesting perspectives. Join us to find out more! Lincoln Stoller is a mountaineer, physicist, computer scientist, entrepreneur, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and neuropsychologist.  Lincoln was born later in life to parents who were both artists who provided him support, motivation and encouragement to be creative, but not much direction to pursue those.  He was rebellious, pushed boundaries and resentfully attended public school, constantly questioning the limitations taught in classrooms by his teachers.  Lincoln preferred real danger like what he found in his introduction to mountaineering over fabricated danger. With time and maturity, Lincoln learned that if you’re going to be in more and more dangerous situations, the consequences of your mistakes get increasingly serious.  Lincoln Stoller is also a bestselling, award-winning author. While writing both his first book “The Learning Project – Rites of Passage” he spoke to a lot of people who went through rites of passage, and they said several important things, one of which was to find mentors. Lincoln now works from his home on Vancouver Island, to provide counseling, consulting and brain training to achieve goals, relieve stress, and help you to redefine your future. Watch or listen to the show to learn tips to help you achieve goals, relieve stress, and redefine your future.  You’re Invited!

He works remotely worldwide and in-person on Vancouver Island, Canada. He addresses short-term mental health situations dealing with symptoms of anxiety, emotional distress, depression, and trauma due to difficult relationships or ill health. He is especially interested in people who are changing or creating things. He does not subscribe to any psychotherapeutic modality and instead work with each person’s unique issues, strengths, weaknesses, and situations. What you want to do and are able to do are all that he focuses on. While he is interested in mental and physical diagnoses he is not directed by them; his response to both is, “How can you benefit from dealing with this?” Lincoln offers a 3-level sliding scale based on whether you are insured, employed, both or neither.

This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 frrom: “How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I…”  to “...This is some daydream you have recounted.” This section of the chapter focuses on Lahiri Mahashaya's final moments in the hewavely Himalayas and with Mahavatar Babaji, with his plea to relax the rigid rules governing Kriya Yoga transmission. We explored how Babaji agreed to allow Lahiri to share Kriya with sincere seekers who couldn't commit to complete renunciation, reflecting a compassionate approach to spiritual practice in their current age. The discussion covered the threefold sufferings (physical, mental, and spiritual) that people experience, the requirements for Kriya initiation including the 6-month preliminary practice period, and the importance of proper guidance from monks and nuns during the application process. We also absorv Babaji's promise to assume life-after-life responsibility for initiated Kriyabans and discussed how even small spiritual practices can provide protection and benefit seekers on their path to liberation. 00:00 Introduction; 0:55 Prior Episode; 1:45 Opening the door of kriya; 16:40 Attention all SRF-YSS Students; 32:09 Even a little practice...; 48:26 Doubting Thomas settled in India; 57:48 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in this episode: https://yogananda.org/request-prayers https://yogananda.org/kriya-yoga-lessons Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the last part of chapter 34 from: “Burning with the enthusiasm of truth, I spoke without due thought...” to the end of the chapter.  #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

[REBROADCAST FROM May 11, 2026] 30 years ago, a deadly blizzard on Mount Everest claimed the lives of eight climbers. Among the surviving members of the expedition was journalist Jon Krakauer, who was covering it for Outside Magazine. His book about the experience, Into Thin Air, became a hit. But 30 years later, what has changed about the experience of climbing the highest peak in the world? Jon Krakauer discusses the new 30th anniversary edition of Into Thin Air.   Photo by John Storey/Getty Images: Author Jon Krakauer in a park. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most people think the greatest danger on Mount Everest is the mountain itself. But beginning in 2018, investigators uncovered an alleged $20 million Everest helicopter rescue fraud that exploited trekkers through unnecessary evacuations, forged medical records, and fraudulent insurance claims. By 2026, Nepal's Central Investigation Bureau had filed sweeping criminal charges, exposing one of the biggest scandals in Everest's history. In this episode of Disaster Strikes, Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen examine how the scheme allegedly operated, why altitude makes trekkers especially vulnerable to manipulation, and how guides, helicopter companies, hospitals, and doctors became caught up in an investigation that shook Nepal's mountaineering industry. The hosts also separate verified facts from sensational headlines, including what investigators actually concluded about the widely reported poisoning allegations. Whether you're planning an Everest Base Camp trek, dreaming of climbing Mount Everest, or simply fascinated by survival stories, this episode explains how the fraud unfolded, why it damaged trust throughout the Himalayas, and what every trekker should know before accepting a helicopter evacuation.

While isolated references to baking soda appear in the charge sheet, investigators did not conclude that poisoning was used as a widespread tactic. Media reports describing rat droppings or uncooked chicken were not included as confirmed findings in the formal 748-page charge sheet reviewed by Climbing Magazine. This episode distinguishes verified investigative findings from unconfirmed claims. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tapping Into the Akasha A Wonderous Journey of Personal Growth and Spiritual Development Rohini Moradi A comprehensive guide to understanding and accessing the Akasha and exploring how ancient wisdom can be integrated into modern life to awaken inner potential as well as foster spiritual growth, selfimprovement, and an expansion of your understanding of the world. The Akasha is essentially the energetic field that contains everything every thought, action, emotion, memory, and experience. Imagine it as the universe's hard drive, where every bit of information is stored, not just from your life but also from the lives of everyone who has ever existed. The Akasha is available to all of us—a universal field that reminds us of our inherent interconnectedness and our shared history as souls navigating the vast expanse of existence. The most profound wisdom comes from sitting in gratitude for the time we've been given and truly being present with what is. In a world that constantly drives us to search for what's next, the real magic is in embracing the now. We often get caught up in the rush for spiritual answers, missing the simple beauty of just being. It's in these moments of stillness when the Akasha truly speaks. You don't need to chase after it, because it's already here, in every breath you take and every moment you live. Tapping into the Akasha delves deeply into the ancient modalities used by sages to show you how to access the Akasha. Along with practical exercises and techniques, including meditation, visualization, and energy work, Rohini Moradi guides you on a wonderous voyage of self-discovery: • Uncover answers to life's big questions • Begin to understand your soul's path • Gain a deeper understanding of yourself • Develop your intuitive abilities • Find answers to specific questions Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or looking to deepen your connection with your inner wisdom, Tapping into the Akasha offers insight and clarity for all those seeking personal transformation, deeper self-understanding, and guidance. Rohini Moradi is no ordinary spiritual guide; she's a revolutionary voice in modern metaphysics and the mastermind behind Magic Inclined—a brand rapidly gaining prominence in spiritual circles. Born into a vibrant tapestry of faith and community, she grew up within the hallowed walls of Iran's sole Hindu temple, where her father served as the distinguished Pujari (priest). From the foothills of the Himalayas to the sacred banks of the Ganges, Rohini's childhood was a kaleidoscope of spiritual immersion, framed by extensive travels throughout India. Now an internationally acclaimed teacher of the Akasha, Rohini is trailblazing a fresh approach to spiritual growth. By empowering seekers with innovative, inward-focused methods, she offers a transformative journey into limitless reality.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

When you've been brought up in a culture of right versus wrong polarity, how do you navigate your way out of that maze as it's falling apart all around you? Gazit Chaya is here to share wisdom gained from leaving fundamentally evangelical Christianity, and building a life truly worth living that honors their core values. Join us to find out more! Gazit Chaya has survived several traumatic brain injuries and decades of anxiety, neurodivergence and depressing thoughts of self harm. Gazit has experienced the challenges of divorce, lived with postpartum depression, gotten through a stay in a psych hospital and survived a suicide attempt. For over 15 years, Gazit Chaya was a speech language pathologist in public schools trained specifically to work with children with autism. Gazit is also a mental health Coach, a YouTuber, a Public Speaker, and an Educator, teaching workshops about trauma recovery and nervous system regulation. They are the founder of The Luria Center, a resource for personal development as well as the Author of Holy Shit. Gazit Chaya helps clients by using a combination of the following protocols; Certified Somatic Parts Work, Safe and Sound Protocol, Values Based Integration Process, The work of Byron Katie, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Watch or listen to the show to learn how you can build a life truly worth living. You’re Invited! GAZIT CHAYA BIO Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) is guided by the Rumi line, “Out beyond right doing and wrongdoing there is a field—I'll meet you there.” Their first 35 years were spent trying to be good while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm in which they began creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

British designer Clyde Johnson sits down to answer 24 questions from Golf Digest architecture editor Derek Duncan. He discusses building the world’s largest Himalayas putting green at Rodeo Dunes in Colorado, how his upbringing playing golf in the U.K. influences his design perspective, how the golf architecture business in England and Scotland differs from the U.S. and how the best courses are those that embrace their natural landscapes.

Marshall in which drifter Larry Millard, condemned to die in the gas chamber for the shotgun murder of farmer Jason Hadley, volunteers his own eyes for an anonymous corneal transplant — handing his sight to Glen Plaxton, the businessman who actually pulled the trigger and framed him to protect a secret reservoir land-grab. After the surgery, Plaxton and his partner Tip Foster begin to suspect that the dead man's eyes may have carried more than vision.Next, Origin of Superstition traces the famous taboo against lighting three cigarettes from a single flame in "Three On A Match," a December 16, 1932 sketch that carries listeners back to 1899 and the Boer War in South Africa, where British officer Captain Frank Mattox laughs off the fire-reading warning of a Zulu medicine man named Grumbo, who reads ruin in the ashes and cautions of "danger in three."In "Don't Tell Hilda," the hard-boiled Pat Novak For Hire (February 27, 1949, starring Jack Webb) finds the San Francisco waterfront boat-for-hire man tangled in murder when a beautiful blonde claiming amnesia collapses dead in a coffee joint after a fatal dose of sleeping pills. Hounded by Inspector Hellman and helped by boozy ex-doctor Jocko Madigan, Novak traces her to a long-vanished heiress named Marcia Halpern and a fortune up on Pacific Heights.Peril offers the 1953 psychological case "Darkness Within," where Mrs. Diana Carson walks into the office of psychiatrist Dr. James Bancroft insisting that her mild-mannered stockbroker husband, Lionel Carson, seized the fireplace tongs and tried to murder her — then woke with no memory of the attack, much like the family cat she found poisoned in the basement. Bancroft must decide whether Lionel suffers a blackout-driven split personality or something far more deliberate.Mystery Playhouse, hosted by Peter Lorre, stages "Death is a Joker" (May 25, 1941), the courtroom confession of Charles Luther, a homely stage comedian on trial for his life who recounts strangling his friend Robert Langwell in a fit of jealousy over the beautiful Julie Wenthoff — and then, hour by terrible hour, is forced to think and act like the cunning criminal he never meant to become.The Price of Fear sends Vincent Price into the August heat of Athens for "Meeting In Athens," a July 7, 1973 chiller in which he befriends young English couple Mark Haxton and Gillian Gilroy on the Acropolis. When Mark vanishes after a late-night seaside villa party arranged by a heavyset stranger named Yannis, Price and Greek police officer Costas Polides uncover a black-market horror in which a man's rarest possession — his AB Rhesus-negative blood, recorded in the diary he kept on everything — can be worth killing for.Ellery Queen investigates "Number Thirty-One" (September 7, 1947), in which suspected international diamond smuggler George Arcaris always books Cabin 31 aboard the steamship Aegea, and a Park Avenue butler from Harlem named Arthur Prine — who liked to play the number 31 in the numbers game — turns up dead in the East River. Ellery and Inspector Queen connect the recurring number to a smuggling ring involving wealthy socialites Pip Istram and Susu Mounting, with guest armchair detective Kent Smith invited to solve it first.Quiet Please turns apocalyptic with "If I Should Wake Before I Die" (February 27, 1949), Wyllis Cooper's parable of Dr. Anderson, a coldly rational scientist who cares only for pure knowledge and never for its uses — even after his own brother Edward dies alone in an orbiting satellite rocket, and even as Project Phaeton, an atomic-fission projectile fired at the moon, sets loose consequences no equation predicted.Radio City Playhouse adapts Ray Bradbury's "The Wind" (October 30, 1949), in which Allen Henderson telephones his friend Herb Thompson again and again, convinced that a living, intelligent wind — one that has stalked him from a crash in the Himalayas across every typhoon and hurricane he survived — has finally surrounded his lonely stone house to claim him, while Herb's wife Jane dismisses the whole thing as madness.Sam Spade closes the night with the "Death of Dr. Denhoff Caper" (August 9, 1946), as Howard Duff's wisecracking detective is hired by psychoanalyst Dr. Gregory Denhoff to fend off a blackmailer named Nicolaitis — only for Denhoff to plunge from his penthouse window, the police to rule it suicide, and a stolen, microfilmed case history on actress Constance Brent to throw suspicion across the grieving widow, a Vienna-trained rival named Dr. Zoya, and Brent's hot-tempered husband.CUSTOM WEBPAGE: https://weirddarkness.com/WDRR0700

For centuries, the towering peaks of the Himalayas have hidden stories of a mysterious wildman said to roam the snow. Western explorers called it the Abominable Snowman. Local Sherpas knew it by many different names. But the greatest Yeti mystery wasn't found on a mountain—it was hidden inside a Hollywood actress's suitcase. From Jimmy Stewart's bizarre role in smuggling a mummified finger to stolen monastery relics, famous expeditions, and the science that finally unraveled the legend, tonight we uncover the astonishing true history of the Yeti.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast hauntedamericanhistory.com   Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH   Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1 KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316   !!
