In this episode of the Rox Lyfe Podcast, I'm joined by my HYROX livestream co-commentator and one of the sport's most recognisable voices — Till Schenk (@tillschenklive). Till's story is as wild as they come...Told he'd never do endurance sport again, he went on to complete Ironmans, bikepack solo through Africa, and escape a literal hostage situation in Senegal. Breathwork and cold exposure helped him rebuild his health — and in this episode he shares how those tools might help you too as an athlete.We also look back at the HYROX season just gone, the standout moments from Vegas to Hong Kong, and the athletes and stories that stuck with us — plus why Till's stepping away from Ironman after 14 seasons.Expect honesty, laughs, lessons, and some seriously mad stories!
La región del Sahel es quizás una de las más ricas del mundo, dotada de vastos recursos energéticos y minerales como petróleo, oro y uranio, pero su población sigue sumida en la pobreza extrema, el hambre y los conflictos.La Estrategia Integrada de las Naciones Unidas para el Sahel (UNISS) define la región política del Sahel como 10 países: Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania, Guinea, Malí, Burkina Faso, Níger, Chad, Camerún y Nigeria.Es un consenso que los habitantes del Sahel siguen sufriendo y viviendo en una pobreza extrema debido a sus líderes, que participan en actividades corruptas en connivencia con Occidente y sus antiguas potencias coloniales.“Extraen recursos a precios muy baratos que sólo los benefician a ellos, que son la élite neocolonial en estas antiguas colonias” se dice casi unánimemente.Las recientes celebraciones de las tomas militares en el Sahel por parte de los civiles pueden explicarse por las frustraciones de la población por la pobreza rampante, el desempleo, la mala infraestructura y la inestabilidad, entre otras razones.En la mayoría de los países de África occidental y central, las poblaciones han mostrado resentimiento hacia Francia, su antiguo amo colonial y la ola de golpes de Estado en el Sahel y la violencia están lejos de terminar.No hay una respuesta fácil a esto, porque algunos extremistas por otro lado están empeñados en imponer ideologías extremistas que a veces son antidemocráticas.Con altos niveles de pobreza, desigualdad, desempleo, mal liderazgo y analfabetismo, y si se combinan todos los factores, es muy probable que se produzca un golpe de Estado o reclutamiento por parte de movimientos extremistas.
In this latest episode of The COSAFA Show, we look ahead to the quarterfinals of the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco this week, and glance back at the Region 5 Games that were played in Windhoek.Two of our COSAFA sides have advanced to the knockout rounds of the WAFCON competition, including defending champions South Africa, who face Senegal on Saturday. But before that, Zambia are in action against nine-time winners Nigeria on Friday in what will truly be a test of their championship credentials.We will hear from both of their coaches ahead of the crunch knockout games.Botswana narrowly missed out on a place in the quarterfinals despite a 2-1 win over Tunisia in their final Group B game but leave with their heads held high.We also check in with the victorious South Africa men's coach Vela Khumalo after they lifted the Region 5 Games crown, which served as the COSAFA championship in that age-group this year. Although an Under-20 competition, South Africa triumphed with an Under-17 selection as they prepare for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar later this year, making their achievement all the more impressive.
City SC beat writer Tom Timmermann and guest co-host Jen Siess of Y98 and KMOX talk about two things that happened in City SC’s win over Portland that are essential for the team’s future success: offensive production from Marcel Hartel, who scored two goals, and the return of Eduard Lowen, who boosted the team’s offense from his first touch of the ball. Plus, the impact of new acquisition Fallou Fall, a center back from Senegal who was playing in Norway and what his addition means. Subscribe to the Post-Dispatch.
Für Paul Soldan ist Afrika immer schon eine Sehnsucht gewesen, als hätte er „aus einem früheren Leben noch eine Rechnung offen“. Er deckte sich ausgiebig mit Literatur ein und schrieb angesichts des Bürgerkrieges in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik das Buch „Sheikhi – ein afrikanisches Märchen“, das eine Friedensbotschaft in die Welt bringen will. Die Zumutungen der Corona-Zeit haben ihm dann den letzten Tritt gegeben, selbst aufzubrechen nach Südafrika, nach Gambia, in den Senegal, nach Tansania und nach Sansibar, wo er Deutsche getroffen hat, die regelrecht geflüchtet waren und dringend eine Atempause brauchten. Paul Soldan erzählt von den tatsächlichen Gefahren, von Selbstjustiz, von der Offenherzigkeit und Unmittelbarkeit – und von dem berühmten afrikanischen Lachen, das einen nicht wieder loslässt.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (07/09/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump hosted leaders from Mauritania, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and Senegal at the White House—announcing that his administration has “closed the USAID group to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.” USAID's responsibilities will now be carried out by the State Department. 3:15pm- While speaking with the press, President Trump reacted to Senator Jose Padilla's proposed bill which would prevent ICE agents from wearing masks and concealing their personal identity. There have been several recent attacks on ICE facilities—including one attack in McAllen, Texas involving a man with an assault rifle. 3:20pm- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Rich will be hosting Fox News contributor Gianno Caldwell for a Politics & Pints event on Thursday, July 31st at 7:30pm at the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Newtown, PA. VIP tickets are on sale now at: 1210wpht.com. 3:30pm- According to a report from Fox News Digital, the Department of Justice is criminally investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for potential false statements to Congress related to the Trump-Russia probe. 3:45pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview his Energy and Innovation Summit on July 15th. Plus, it has been almost one year since the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, PA, when will we finally learn what happened? Sen. McCormick explains: “Honestly, I'm unsatisfied that we don't have answers. I don't understand it.” 4:05pm- The city of Philadelphia has reached an agreement with District Council 33—the union representing the city's trash collectors. 4:20pm- New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherril has endorsed socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor—but was that a major mistake? 4:30pm- Lora Ries—Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss several recent attacks on ICE facilities—including one attack in McAllen, Texas involving a man with an assault rifle. 4:50pm- Want to go bowling in the nude? There is (horrifyingly) an event in Pittsburgh on Saturday where you can! 5:05pm- The Department of Justice and FBI have announced that there is no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein “client list” and that their inquiry will come to a close—though, the law enforcement departments did release an 11-hour video recording from outside Epstein's prison cell in hopes of dispelling claims that Epstein was secretly murdered. There is, however, one-minute from the tape missing—which Attorney General Pam Bondi attempted to explain away when questioned by the press on Tuesday. 5:15pm- Don't worry, Bill Pullman is still alive!

Alligator Alcatraz and ICE Raids Spark National Debate Polling shows over 60% of Americans support deportations, including a growing number of Hispanic voters. At Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, migrants complain about conditions, while LA officials criticize ongoing ICE raids. Meanwhile, left-wing attacks on ICE officers escalate, and Democrat senators propose unmasking agents. President Trump slams the idea, calling it dangerous and un-American. Trump Offers Tariff Discounts to African Nations That Accept Deportees President Trump is using tariff policy to pressure countries to accept U.S. deportees. In a bid to ease deportation backlogs, he offers lower tariffs and increased investment to African nations like Gabon, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau if they agree to resettle illegal migrants. Some leaders appear open, especially where economic incentives align with rare earth mineral access. Brazil Tariffs Escalate as Trump Responds to Free Speech Crackdown Trump imposes a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods in response to President Lula's treatment of former conservative leader Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil threatens retaliation, which could affect prices for key imports like coffee, beef, and rare earths. Bryan supports Trump's leverage strategy but cautions against alienating allies without diplomatic finesse. Tariffs Not Driving Inflation, But Price Pressures May Be Coming Despite fears, Axios reports that tariffs have not significantly raised consumer prices. Most U.S. companies are absorbing the costs or adapting supply chains. However, 77% say they may raise prices within six months. Bryan celebrates being right about his “Costco analogy” and urges listeners to watch corporate earnings next week for updates. Microsoft Lays Off Americans, Hires Foreign Workers, and Embraces AI Microsoft plans to lay off 15,000 U.S. workers while replacing them with AI and 14,000 foreign hires, mostly from China and India, via H-1B visas. Critics argue the program is abused to undercut American wages. Bryan warns of growing youth unemployment and calls for policy changes before AI and outsourcing further erode the U.S. labor market.

Pags reports on the devastating flooding up near Kerr County: over 109 confirmed dead and more than 150 still missing, with rescue teams battling dangerous conditions to find survivors. Then, President Trump hosted a multilateral lunch in DC with five West and Central African leaders—Senegal, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, and Gabon—to shift U.S. policy from aid to mutual trade and investment. In a candid press moment, Trump even questioned whether recent attacks on ICE and CBP agents might be part of an “organized threat.” Pags breaks down both the human tragedy in Texas and the high-stakes diplomatic shift—and he's got the clips you need to hear.

(Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This is the second episode of Aba aba, or Gymnarchus niloticus, and the second thing I like about this little known fish is where they are found. Let's talk about where in the wild this fish is naturally found and what kind of habitat they tend to like best. This episode may be a bit shorter than most, but I promise to make up for it in future episode of this series. In episode one we found out that the Aba Aba is found in Africa. They can inhabit bodies of fresh water in the Nile, Turkana, Chad, Niger, Volta, Senegal, and Gambia basins. It is wide spread throughout West African countries of Egypt, Benin, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda, and Gambia. It has been reported in Cameroon, where it is an introduced species, but identification here still needs further confirmation. By widespread I mean that they can be found in various bodies of freshwater such as lakes and rivers in these areas but they are sparsely spread. These fish need fairly large territories, remember that can get up to five feet in length and weigh 42 pounds, and spend most of their lives as solitary individuals, so therefore, they are sparsely spread throughout their natural habitat. Now that we know where in the world to find these amazing fish, what kind of habitat are we looking for? We know they like freshwater and can be found in lakes and rivers. They will most often be found in areas with dense aquatic vegetation. They use this to hide from larger predators and to help camouflage themselves from prey items. In rivers, they favor the edges of the water near the banks to keep out of the rushing currents toward the middle. Don't get me wrong, they can swim well, but the edges host the plants they need to rest in during the day. Aba aba are nocturnal, so they are most active at night and they spend their days resting in the vegetation. They can use the plants a bit like a hammock, supporting them while they sleep. Aba aba fish have very small eyes and are a bit sensitive to light so this is another reason to live in and around thick vegetation. Their behavior is seasonally influenced by the rains of this continent, as are many species of animals that live on the African continent. When the rains come breeding season begins, but you'll have to wait for the next episode to find out the unique breeding behaviors of the Aba aba. That's it for the second episode of the Aba aba. Thank you for joining me to find out where this amazing fish lives because it is my second favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change. Join me next week for another exciting episode about the Aba aba.

Francisco Contreras nos transporta al corazón de África Occidental en un viaje que mezcla solidaridad, historia dolorosa y misterio animista. Desde la terrorífica Isla de Gorée -donde 20 millones de africanos fueron esclavizados- hasta los mercados de brujería de Mbour, pasando por el lago rosa más extraño del planeta. Pero hay algo más: una misión para rescatar a 200 niños talibés, esclavos modernos invisibles que mendigan en las calles mientras occidente mira hacia otro lado.

My name is Kiersten and I have a Master's Degree in Animal Behavior and did my thesis on the breeding behavior of the Tri-colored bat. I was a zookeeper for many years and have worked with all sorts of animals from Aba Aba fish to tigers to ravens to domesticated dogs and so many more in between. Many of those years were spent in education programs and the most important lesson I learned was that the more information someone has about a particular animal the less they fear them. The less they fear them the more they crave information about them and before you know it you've become an advocate for that misunderstood animal. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Welcome back, listeners! In this new series after summer break, we will be heading back into the water. Don't worry we will not need a bigger boat! Okay, I had to throw in a reference to Jaws, being that it's fifty years old this year, and also one of the reasons that an entire generation of people fear sharks. But that is another series all together. This episode is the first in a new series about a fish. The Aba aba fish to be specific. Never heard of it? That's exactly why I picked it as my next unknown creature. This first thing I like about the Aba aba fish, is the Aba aka fish. We will start off this series with an overview of this wicked cool fish to whet your appetite to learn more. The Aba aba fish, Gymnarchus niloticus, is also known as the African knife fish, Frankish, freshwater rat-tail, or aba fish. It is a long, slender bodied fish with only one fin. The dorsal fin runs from the back of the head to the tip of the tail on the top-side of the body. This is their only fin and the reason they are called knife fish because they kinda look like a knife if you used the head as the handle. Aba aba are typically black to gray to brown on the top half of the body while the underside is a paler color, such as white or beige. They are covered in very small scales that do not stand out making it look like they have smooth skin. Adults can reach a length of five feet or 1.6 meters and weight 42 pounds or 19 kilograms. That's a pretty big freshwater fish. Classification of the Aba aba is as follows- Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii (the ray-finned fish. These are fish that have lightly built fins made of webbings of skin supported by thin bony spines) Order: Osteoglossiformes (this is an order of ray-finned fish known as the bony tongue fish and we will delve into to this in more detail in a future episode) Family: Gymnarchidae Genus: Gymnarchus (meaning naked bum) Species: niloticus (meaning from the River Nile) They are the only fish in the family Gymnarchidae and in the Genus Gymnarchus which makes them special. In the wild the Aba aba is found in the freshwaters of Africa. They live n the lakes and rivers of the Nile, Turkana, Chad, Niger, Volta, Senegal, and Gambia basins. This fish is an obligate air breather which means they need to gulp air form the surface of the water to supplement the oxygen that they get from the water. If they cannot do this, they will suffocate. There are other species of fish that are also obligate air breathers. Typically this adaptation is found in fish that live in waters that are thick with sediment or have seasonal changes that can increase the sediments levels in the water. Gulping air gives the fish a clean source of oxygen. Aba aba are predators hunting for other small fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects, copepods, frogs, and snails. The diet is dictated by the size of the Aba aba but they are carnivores throughout their entire lives. This amazingly cool fish is nocturnal and because they are most active at night they have an adaptation that makes them even cooler. No way, you say! How could they get any cooler than they already are? Well, they are electric! Didn't see that coming did you? Aba aba are capable of generating a weak electric current that helps them find prey in low light. Yes! Aba aba are electric fish. I became fascinated by this fish when I worked with one at one of the zoos where I worked. As soon as he was transferred to our department, he quickly became one of my favorite animals to feed, clean, and develop enrichment for. That's right these fish are great problem-solvers and we had to give him things to rearrange inside his tank to keep him busy. It was my pleasure to work with him and I like to think he appreciated the attention we gave him, as well. That is it for the first episode of Aba aba. I hope the overview of this animal has you excited to learn more because my first favorite thing about the Aba aba IS the Aba aba. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change. Join me next week for another exciting episode about the Aba aba.
