Martin sits down with Lee Houghton, the UK's National Coach of the Year and founder of Get Knowledge, for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about artificial intelligence and what it's doing to us as humans.Fresh from the Forum Conference, both self-confessed AI enthusiasts wrestle with a genuine tension: they love how AI has transformed their solo businesses, but they're worried about what we might be quietly giving away in the process. Are we outsourcing our creativity, our curiosity, and our human connection along with our admin?From SatNav and checkbooks to ChatGPT and Claude, Martin and Lee explore how technology has always reshaped behaviour and ask whether this time it's different. Lee shares his fear that we're slowly "practicing being human" less and less, while Martin wonders whether AI could actually create space for the things that make us irreplaceable: lived experience, genuine connection, and the kind of nuance no prompt can fully capture.They also touch on inclusion and exclusion in the AI age, what organisational structures might look like in the future, and inevitably, the looming spectre of Tottenham's relegation.Warm, funny, and thought-provoking……this one's got real heart.Topics covered:The "AI is as bad as it's ever going to be" mindset shiftOutsourcing thinking vs. outsourcing the humanHead, hands & heart — what AI can and can't replaceInclusion gaps in an AI-accelerated worldWhy your actual intention behind using AI matters

Shanghai tastemaker Yu Yang pulls us into her twilight zone, navigating deep hypnotic house, synthy techno and tracky minimal groovers for the after hours inclined. @yuyang11 Q. As a music lover that has lived across multiple corners of the globe, bouncing between London, Shanghai and Bali and having spent time living in NYC, what sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed? A. All the life experiences in different places exposed me to different sounds & communities and helped me discover the core element of sound that I am attracted to - synth, groove and flow; and myself as a person of what experiences I am looking for on the dancefloor, which is feeling emotions and being introspective on the dancefloor. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's overwhelming, sometimes it's even unpleasant, but it's all part of the journey. This set goes a bit deep and trippy so I think it could be listened to at after parties, taking a walk or going for a run in the evening, or any time when you feel like being on a music journey. Q. Are there any records in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these songs that resonate with you so much? So many but if I have to choose: Bullet Proof by Hd Substance Synth-driven. Smooth groove. Rolling waves that go deep. Wata Igarashi & Polygonia - Cross Passage The most techno track on the whole set. Love a rolling bassline pushing deeper and deeper. Keplrr – 4DRK Been playing a lot of Keplrr lately. This one drifts on the calmer side, while others dive deeper, more emotional. A constant balance of techno and breaks, weaving feelings into every layer. Q. You're spending more and more time playing in the UK and Europe these days, where do you feel your uniquely global sound has been well received of late? A. Japan and the United Kingdom both really champion this sound—through festivals like Rural and Houghton, and artists such as Powder, DJ Nobu, Wata Igarashi, Craig Richards, Jane Fitz and many more. Feeling inspired—and lucky—to move between Asia and the UK within this scene.

The Pure Michigan Governor's Tourism Conference is a chance to gather with our fellow professionals and hear all about what is good and what is next in the world of Michigan travel. We recently attended the event that was held in Traverse City at the Grand Traverse Resort, and we thought we'd share what we learned, and who we saw.We kick off the show with the "big guys" or the head gal in this case. Kelly Wolgamott joins us again, as the head of Pure Michigan she has her finger on the pulse of tourism not just in our great state, but also how we the Mitten is perceived out in the big wide world. The Pure Michigan campaign is celebrating twenty years of pure awesomeness, so we ask what that campaign has meant for Michigan, and what we might see moving forward. Remember, it starts with a visit.Trevor Tkach has done some pretty spectacular things in the Traverse City region, garnering this part of our state both national and internaitonal acclaim. We ask how busy is too busy, what the TC region is doing this summer, and where TC is going next. Next, another big anniversary is going to be celebrated this year by our friends at Grand Traverse Pie Company, thirty years of using the finest fruits and pure Michigan ingredients will culminate this summer. Susan and Charlie Olsen from Grand Bay Promotions join us to share the power of pie, and the new flavor that they are releasing this summer in honor of thirty years, the Fresh Coast Pie. We get an update from our friend Brad Barnett, executive director of Visit Keweenaw. It was a bang up winter in the Key, and we get snow total updates. We'll also talk abotu some of our favorite places on the peninsula, and what to do in Houghton. Finally, we head to our homebase, Grand Rapids, and catch up with Kate Leito from Experience GR.

Eleanor Houghton, in conversation with Duncan McCargo and Alexis Wolf Meet the real, thinking, feeling woman that was Charlotte Brontë, as told in this biography by the surviving witnesses to her life – the clothes that she once wore.These garments were present as she penned Jane Eyre, as she walked the cobbled streets of Haworth, and as she stood with her fiancé at the altar in the summer of 1854. Yet, until now, their testimonies had remained unheard.Renowned Brontë scholar and dress historian Eleanor Houghton's innovative, richly illustrated biography, Charlotte Brontë's Life Through Clothes (Bloomsbury 2026), finally gives voice to the gowns, bonnets, shawls, corsets, parasols and boots that make up the novelist's wardrobe.Secrets are revealed in their very fibres. Brontë's steel busked corset tells the story of corporate espionage and forbidden love, whilst her striped, silk dress shows how she coped with the new-found pressures of fame. When exposed to 21st century technology, a tiny sample of fabric from her 'Thackeray Dress' reveals important innovations of the Industrial Revolution going on around her and a black lace veil, worn after the deaths of her siblings, expresses how she dealt with repeated familial loss.These clothes, some of which still bear the imprint of her foot or the sweat from her pores, prove themselves to be far more than mere celebrity curios. When 'read' alongside letters, portraits, her novels and the recollections of those who knew her well, Charlotte emerges as a woman altogether braver, more vulnerable, less isolated, less provincial, more fashion conscious than anyone ever expected. Myths are shattered, preconceptions challenged, and, the real Charlotte Brontë, beyond the famous author, finally emerges. Eleanor Houghton is a Brontë scholar, writer and illustrator. She studied English at the University of Oxford before being awarded a Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarship in History. In 2022, in collaboration with the Brontë Parsonage Museum, she curated a large-scale exhibition on the surviving wardrobe of Charlotte Brontë. An expert in 18th and 19th century clothing, literature and social history, she often works as consultant for film and TV, novelists and museums. Her detailed drawings are widely sold and exhibited. Duncan McCargo is President's Chair in Global Affairs and a Professor of English at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He is a patron of the Brontë Birthplace in Thornton. Alexis Wolf is a researcher of women's literary history and a lecturer at Canterbury Christchurch University.

Rosario Curcuru talks about the breastplate of righteousness, which helps us stand firm because Christ makes us right with God and teaches us to live right in a crooked world, including: 1. We are not righteous by nature, we stand in Christ's righteousness (Romans 3:23-26), 2. Living out practical righteousness helps protect us from the schemes of Satan (1 Peter 1:13-16; Ephesians 4:26-27), and 3. Righteousness helps us resist the devil's schemes.

While some parts of the country can count on crocus and daffodils to signal spring in March, Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula is still measuring snowbanks. Over 300” has fallen across the region and more is expected, possibly into May. From the looks of future forecasts, the area is sure to surpass last year's total of 315.25” and may be on track for the all-time high of 390.4” set back in the winter of 1978-79. What do you do with over 32' of snow in a season? In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Jesse Wiederhold, Managing Director of Visit Keweenaw, about what makes this area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula such a mecca for snow lovers and tips on how they survive cabin fever.5 Key Takeaways Extraordinary Snowfall Totals In The Keweenaw Peninsula: Jesse Wiederhold says the Keweenaw had already passed 200 inches of snowfall by early January and notes that the historical snowfall record in Keweenaw County is about 390 inches in a single season recorded in the late 1970s. Lake Superior Drives The Region's Heavy Snowfall: Wiederhold explains that Lake Superior acts as a “snow machine,” producing lake-effect snow because the Keweenaw Peninsula is surrounded by the lake on multiple sides. Winter Recreation Draws Visitors To The Keweenaw: Visitors come to the region for winter activities including skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow biking, with ski areas such as Mount Ripley and Mount Bohemia operating during the winter season and drawing large numbers of visitors, including days when more than a thousand people ski at Mount Bohemia. Groomed Trail Systems Support Winter Sports In The Region: Wiederhold highlights several groomed trail networks located within about a 30-minute radius of Houghton and Hancock, including the Michigan Tech trails in Houghton, the Maasto Hiihto and Churning Rapids trails in Hancock, the Swedetown trails in Calumet, and the East Bluff trails in Copper Harbor. Finnish Heritage And Sauna Culture Remain Strong In The Keweenaw: Wiederhold notes that about one in three people in Houghton County are Finnish and explains that sauna culture remains an important part of local life, with both home saunas and public sauna experiences such as those at Mount Bohemia and Taka Saunas available in the region.Helpful Links:Visit Keweenaw – https://visitkeweenaw.comMount Bohemia – https://mtbohemia.comCopperDog 150 – https://copperdog.orgMichigan Tech Trails – https://www.mtu.edu/recreation/outdoor/trails/Connect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.
