SC Cambuur mag na twee winterse, voetballoze weken weer vol aan de bak. Is het gebrek aan wedstrijdritme een spelbreker voor de Leeuwarders in de jacht op promotie dan wel de titel? Met oud-spelers Kerst Hofman, een debutant in ‘t Hertenkamp, en René van Rijswijk gaat LC-journalist Jonathan Ploeg hierover in gesprek. Ook aan bod komt een lonkende kampioenschap. De Leeuwarders kwamen dan wel niet in actie, thuis op de bank zagen ze, met de voetjes omhoog, de concurrenten de nodige punten verspelen. Hoe gaat Cambuur om met de druk? Kerst en René blikken terug op de tijd dat ze samenspeelden in het eerste van Cambuur, er wordt ingegaan op de veranderde rol van buitenspelers en op de positie van defensieve middenvelder. Is Ethan Apkakou, die tegen Jong PSV zijn basisdebuut maakt, nou wel de juiste keuze? Of kan dit Cambuur niet zonder de tomeloze energie en diepgang van Remco Balk? * Vragen voor in de podcast?

Elwin Hofman joins Jana Byars to talk about the volume he edited with Magaly Rodríguez García & Pieter Vanhees, The Business of Pleasure: A History of Paid Sex in the Heart of Europe (Leuven UP, 2022). In 2022, the Belgian parliament made a landmark decision by approving the decriminalisation of sex work. This move positioned the small nation as the first country in Europe - and the second globally - to abandon the hypocrisy of tolerance. Yet this was not the first time paid sex in Belgium gained international notoriety. The bathhouses of the fifteenth-century 'frows of Flanders' were well-known throughout Europe. In the nineteenth century, Belgium faced international outrage as the alleged epicentre of white slavery. Although Belgians were then accused of forcing white women into prostitution, they were also free to include any suspect women in the prostitution registers of colonial Congo. Throughout the First and Second World Wars, both allied and German soldiers sought relief in Belgian brothels. The Business of Pleasure presents the compelling life stories of sex workers and their interactions with authorities, clients and pimps. Pushing beyond stereotypes, this history of commercial sex offers a nuanced understanding of the difficulties and opportunities associated with paid sex for women, men and trans persons past and present.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Molly Zuckerman, Professor of Biological Anthropology at Mississippi State University, about ethics, care, and responsibility in bioarchaeology. We discuss her recent article, “Exercises in ethically engaged work in biological anthropology,” and explore how human remains can be dehumanized in research and teaching collections, and how approaches such as osteobiographies can help restore personhood. Dr. Zuckerman also reflects on generational tensions in the field, the ethical challenges posed by climate change to archaeological sites, and how early-career scholars can develop thoughtful, context-specific ethical frameworks. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Zuckerman, M.

Eva Hofman is journalist en schrijver. Ze debuteerde in 2024 met ‘Josephine', over navelstaren en esthetiek als culturele analyse. Daarnaast werkt ze als onderzoeksjournalist en technologieverslaggever bij de Groene Amsterdammer. In het blad publiceert ze artikelen, onderzoeken en essays over internetcultuur, feminisme en de macht van big tech. Nu komt ze met ‘Man neemt Vrouw: aantekeningen uit het patriarchaat'. In het boek onderzoekt Hofman de giftige tegenreactie van het patriarchaat op feminisme: luidruchtig, ziedend en viral. Aan de hand van essays over klassieke misogynie, rechtse feministen en de hedendaagse digitale backlash laat Hofman zien hoe vrouwenhaat zich telkens opnieuw uitvindt. Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Eva Hofman in gesprek.

De nieuwste generatie feministen heeft een online strijd te voeren, tegen de manosfeer, radicaalrechtse ‘manfluencers' en digitale vrouwenhaat. Welke technologische wapens hebben feministen tot hun beschikking?Iedere feministische golf voert de sociale strijd met nieuwe (media)middelen. Voor de huidige generatie feministen is die strijd verbreed naar het digitale domein. Want het is online waar de backlash tegen het feminisme het hardst neerdaalt in de vorm van de manosfeer. Uiterst rechts blijkt het meest bedreven in het bespelen van de online opinie via ‘manfluencers', memes en deepfakes.Wat is het feministische antwoord? Deze editie van Techdenkers onderzoeken we welke technologische middelen en strategieën de nieuwe generatie feministen tot beschikking heeft om de strijd aan te gaan met online conservatisme. En we bespreken wat zij kunnen leren van eerdere generaties die in tijden van backlash het tij wisten te keren.Deze avond is na aanleiding van het boek van onderzoeksjournalist en technologieverslaggever Eva Hofman, Man neemt vrouw. Aantekeningen uit het patriarchaat (Uitgeverij Pluim). Met redacteur online wereld en sociale media Süeda Isik, Neerlandica en feministische literatuurwetenschapper Maaike Meijer en ondernemer en schrijver Nina Pierson.De serie Techdenkers wordt inhoudelijk verzorgd en uitgezonden door De Balie en is onderdeel van onze partnership met Adyen.Mediapartner: De Groene AmsterdammerZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Starting in December, the government is banning new prescriptions of puberty blockers to adolescents.  However, concerns have been raised about the effect this ban will have on the mental health of these individuals – research suggests that the medication reduces mental health distress in transgender youth, a community that is already vulnerable. Banning the drug may have adverse affects in this same vein. Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Professor in Pediatric Endocrinology at the Liggins Institute at the University of Auckland, Paul Hofman, about the ban, and what it means for the mental health of our transgender and gender dysphoric youth.

Released on November 7th, 2025, Shatter & Bloom is Stellvris' explosive new EP, blending raw emotion, melody, and heaviness into a powerful statement of modern metal strength. Since forming in 2019, the European metal outfit have built their brand around honesty and emotional depth, exploring pain but also how to turn that pain into power. Here on their new EP, Shatter & Bloom, they deliver their most intense statement yet. We loved it. Describing it as: A high-energy, intense, and creative record. When you pack so many ideas, components, and genre switches into a release — and even within individual songs — there's always a risk of losing some listeners. But Stellvris manage to strike a balance, especially between the electronic elements and the more traditional instrumentation. What's clear is that this band has real talent: powerful rhythm work, strong guitar and bass tones, and a remarkably versatile vocalist. They know how to use those strengths intelligently, and the crisp production ensures every detail shines through. The result is a modern, ambitious, and fiercely engaging release from a band that looks set to achieve huge things. Read the full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-stellvris-shatter-bloom-self-released/ The EP has depth, and that is what we explore with vocalist Nicol Hofman. Digging into the detail of the EP, the journey to its release, evolving the Stellvris sound, what the future looks like, and so much more.

Hot off the press in the Presidential Plenary at #ESMO25, we chat with Dr Scott Tagawa (Weill-Cornell, USA) about the positive data he just presented from the PSMAddition trial. This is an eagerly awaited phase III randmosied trial of patients with mHSPC, to see if the addition of six cycles of Lu-PSMA-617 to a control arm of ADT and an ARPI, could improve rPFS and other endpoints. We are also joined in the studio by Prof Michael Hofman (Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, AUS), co-PI of the UpFront PSMA trial which also explored a similar concept, plus some comments from our other colleague, prof Arun Azad, who was the Discussant in the Presidential at ESMO25. Declan Murphy hosting GU Cast solo today while Renu Eapen was in the OR doing surgery. Even better on our YouTube channelThis is a Themed Podcast supported by our Silver Partners, Novartis.

Muzeum Getta Warszawskiego to cenna i potrzebna inicjatywa – mówi Artur Hofman w Radiu Wnet. Ostrzega jednak, że zmiany w kierownictwie mogą zagrozić obiektywnej narracji o historii.Zmiany kadrowe w Muzeum Getta Warszawskiego komentował w Poranku Radia Wnet Artur Hofman, członek Rady Muzeum i prezes Stowarzyszenia Społeczno-Kulturalnego Żydów w Polsce.Tylko prawda jest interesująca. Narracja muzeum powinna być pełna, obiektywna i służyć kolejnym pokoleniom – tym, którzy znają historię, i tym, którzy dopiero będą chcieli ją poznać– podkreśla Hofman.Uczciwa pracaJego zdaniem od samego początku projekt powstawał w burzliwej atmosferze, spotykając się z krytyką jeszcze zanim powstały pierwsze koncepcje. Dopiero praca dyrektora Alberta Stankowskiego i profesora Daniela Blatmana zaczęła przekonywać opinię publiczną w Polsce i za granicą, że muzeum nie będzie narzędziem politycznej narracji, lecz rzetelnym miejscem pamięci i edukacji.To profesor Blatman i dyrektor Stankowski krok po kroku odpowiadali na pytania, rozwiewali wątpliwości, przedstawiali scenariusz sal i narrację przyszłej ekspozycji. Dzięki temu rodziło się przekonanie, że mamy do czynienia z projektem poważnym, pożytecznym i potrzebnym– zaznacza Hofman.Decyzja o odsunięciu Blatmana budzi jego sprzeciw.To niepokojące, bo jeśli pozbywamy się kogoś, kto tyle pracy, serca i rozumu włożył w powstanie tego muzeum, ryzykujemy osłabienie całego projektu– mówi.Nie zapominajmy o PolakachHofman przypomina również, że opowieść o getcie musi obejmować wszystkie aspekty, także te mniej znane.Tworząc getto, Niemcy wysiedlili z tej części Warszawy około 100 tysięcy Polaków. To ogromna liczba i niezwykle ważny element historii, który musi być pokazany obok losów Żydów i Niemców– podkreśla.Według planów Muzeum Getta Warszawskiego ma zostać otwarte w 2027 roku. Oprócz remontu istniejącego gmachu konieczna jest budowa nowych skrzydeł, które mają zapewnić nowoczesną przestrzeń wystawienniczą.To powinno być muzeum, które nie tylko przypomina tragedię, ale także uczy i pozwala zrozumieć złożoność historii. Jeśli zabraknie prawdy i obiektywizmu, całe przedsięwzięcie straci sens– podsumowuje Hofman.

Una vez experimentado, nunca se puede olvidar. Todo comenzó el 16 de abril de 1943 en Suiza. Impertérrito por el terror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el químico Albert Hofmann se encontraba trabajando en su laboratorio de ciencias naturales con el cornezuelo, un hongo pequeño que crece preferentemente en el centeno. Pero aquel día de abril, aislando sustancias, se topó con algo completamente nuevo, la dietilamina de ácido lisérgico, el LSD. Tres días más tarde, el científico decidió experimentar consigo mismo, primero con dosis muy pequeñas. La sustancia resultó ser mucho más fuerte que cualquier cosa conocida por la ciencia. Su experimento se convirtió en un viaje hacia lo desconocido. Sus efectos no tardaron en despertar el interés de los psiquiatras de todo el mundo para tratar enfermedades como la esquizofrenia y otras psicosis. Durante la Guerra Fría, el LSD atrajo la atención de los servicios secretos internacionales, sobre todo de la CIA, en su intento por desarrollar el suero de la verdad. Más tarde se convirtió en la droga predilecta de la generación hippie. A través de imágenes de archivo y el testimonio del propio Hofman, este documental repasa la historia del LSD.

Text me!In today's episode, Amanda Hofman shares her entrepreneurial journey, discussing her experiences in running businesses, the importance of hustle, learning from mistakes, and the role of swag in branding. She emphasizes the need for entrepreneurs to take ownership of their work and the significance of building relationships through quality merchandise.TakeawaysAmanda's journey began with Urban Girl Squad, proving her entrepreneurial spirit.Hustle is essential for success in any business venture.Entrepreneurship is not for everyone; it requires a willingness to face challenges.Learning from mistakes is crucial; ignoring red flags can lead to bad decisions.Quality swag can enhance brand relationships and should not be treated as mere promotional items.Companies often print swag inefficiently, leading to low-quality items.Swag should be seen as a marketing tool, not just a giveaway.Opting for print on demand can solve many swag-related issues.Building relationships through swag is key to effective branding.Entrepreneurs have the power to say no to bad partnerships.Connect further with Amanda on LinkedIn HERE or visit her website HERESupport the showLINKS TO FREEBIES BELOW: WEEKLY NEWSLETTER where I share all the tips and tricks on how to grow organically online HERE ABOUT THE HOST: Former Executive Recruiter turned Online Marketing Expert & Entrepreneur.

On this episode, rural sociologist Dr. Irna Hofman explores how Tajikistan's cotton fields illuminate shifting power dynamics in Central Asia, historically and in the present. She discusses how the Soviet Union once showcased cotton production to visiting delegations—particularly from Muslim-majority countries—as evidence of its development model. Now, as global powers, including Russia, China, and the EU, vie for influence in the region, cotton has again become a strategic commodity—used to forge political ties, secure resources, and drive infrastructure projects. Hofman highlights local communities' active role in shaping these developments, emphasizing that rural landscapes are not simply backdrops for a “New Great Game,” but sites where broader geopolitical forces and grassroots agency intersect. Through her long-term fieldwork, she illustrates how Tajik farmers navigate and negotiate these overlapping external interests, and in doing so, reframe Central Asia's future amidst geopolitical tensions. Dr. Hofman specializes in agrarian and social change in Central Asia, where she has worked since 2012. She completed post-doctoral research at Oxford's Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies as part of an ERC-funded project "China, law and development." In 2019, she obtained her Ph.D. from Leiden University in the Netherlands with a dissertation focused on the political economy of agrarian transformation in Tajikistan: "Cotton, control, and continuity in disguise: The political economy of agrarian transformation in lowland Tajikistan." Her research interests span political economy, political ecology, and political sociology. In recent years, she has focused on rural labour, gender, and commodity politics. Dr. Hofman is completing a monograph based on her dissertation and post-doctoral research projects. Her research agenda for the coming years centers on the rural everyday of geopolitics, focusing on China's growing assertiveness in the global agrifood regime, shifting geographies of production, and rural labour.

After a new report from the science media centre mentions that after reviewing the evidence around puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria, the Ministry of Health is taking a more precautionary approach. Producer Yesenia spoke to paediatric endocrinologist and Professor at the University of Auckland Paul Hofman  about the multidisciplinary approach the ministry of health is wanting to approach with Puberty Blockers and the changes coming for those seeking gender affirming care.

A paediatric endocrinologist believes the Health Ministry's puberty blocker stance is sensible. The Ministry's brief shows a lack of good quality evidence backing the drug's effectiveness and safety for treating gender dysphoria. It says they should only be prescribed by a clinician experienced in gender-affirming care, as part of a team offering a full range of support. Paul Hofman told Mike Hosking puberty blockers are safe and reversible, and have been used by hundreds of thousands of kids in the last 30 years. He says data on its efficacy is poor, which is down to doctors not following up on the treatment, and assuming it will work as intended.
