When the night guards passed Frank Morris's cell, in San Francisco's “inescapable” island super-prison, Alcatraz, he seemed to be sleeping soundly. But what they saw was a dummy head made of plaster, soap and real human hair. And Morris was already making his way to the shore – and his homemade raft, stitched together using 50 prison raincoats.This week we look at the history of the US's big bad citadel in the war on crime; its most infamous inmates; and find out if anyone ever really escaped The Rock.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

There's a photograph from a Fourth of July boat trip, and Nolan Wells is the only person of color in it. Days later, he's the only one from that group who isn't coming home. That single fact is why the Nolan Wells case has gripped the country — and why the questions around it are so hard to put down.Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went out to Horn Island with friends and never made it back. His body turned up in the water off the northwest tip of the island. The sheriff said he chose to stay behind. The autopsy is finished but sealed. And the answers his family is asking for — how he ended up alone out there, why help was so slow, what actually happened before he died — still don't exist.This isn't a rush to judgment in either direction. It's an argument for why this case has to be investigated all the way to the bottom, and why the people shouting the loudest on both sides are getting in the way of that. It walks through the 13-hour delay before the Coast Guard was called out, the "no foul play" statement that poured gasoline on everything, the witnesses too frightened to speak, and the long shadow of Mississippi's own record of looking away from deaths exactly like this one.The point isn't that one theory is right. The point is that nobody knows yet — and pretending otherwise dishonors a kid whose family is still just waiting to be told what happened to their son.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it's the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it's empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island's northwestern tip.Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who's still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.The sheriff's office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan's mother called the sheriff's office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.The island first. Then everything else.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We kick off this loaded episode celebrating National Fortune Cookie Day by cracking open a few fortunes before dropping an announcement: we are officially heading to New York City as credentialed media for the USATF National Championships on Randall's Island! Expect plenty of athlete interviews and uncut unhinged content. Erin gives a 12 week pull up program progress report. We stack up our week 12 numbers against day one, revealing insane gains. We also vent about the discouraging social media comments claiming a pull up takes years, and recap our contrasting weekend social lives, including surviving a next door neighbor's party in "hard pants". Next up, we dive into a heavy dose of local shore chaos for "Erin's Tea Time". The controversial LBI mega house was somehow approved. The zero parking situation boiled over when contractors blocked a driveway, prompting two police cars to show up, much to the delight of our ticket obsessed seven year old. Meanwhile, Dan took on the local beach badge checkers after they called the cops on surfers, pulling out the official rule book to prove that anyone can legally "traverse" the sand to get to the water without a badge.We then put on our Esquire hats for a massive journalism and law segment, starting with a fascinating soccer history discovery: why players walk out holding hands with children. Speaking of soccer, we look at the concessions data out of Philadelphia's stadium, where 410,000 fans crushed 290,000 beers and 55,000 hot dogs, and we applaud FIFA's partnership with the nonprofit Musically Fed to donate leftover food instead of tossing it in a dumpster. We then shift to some wild court cases, covering the Troy Turkey Trot race director charged with grand larceny for stealing $114,000, the class-action lawsuit against United and Delta over "windowless" window seats, a ridiculous trademark battle between a sneaker company and Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new 1587 Prime steakhouse, and a petty cookbook author coming after a creator over a cake pop recipe. To wrap things up, we compare two totally different fitness movements: an incredibly cool, Rolling Stone approved underground calisthenics street league in New York City featuring a brutal 100 burpee and 65 pound dumbbell squat face off, versus a lame, corporate, $15 million backed CrossFit rival called Xenon that uses AI photos. Finally, we close out the episode with a health rant about the Cyclospora parasite outbreak causing weeks of explosive diarrhea across the country. Finally in our No Bad No Sad segment we talk about a kid getting advice from professional NFL players regarding his football stances.

De Clarke/ Cortes Currents - A couple of weeks ago, Cortes Currents ran a story about an emergency preparedness workshop offered on Cortes Island by SRD staffer Sarah Rosen. In the course of that workshop, volunteer firefighter Mike Brown and Fire Chief Eli McKenty made some comments about wildfire risk on the island, which they saw as the biggest potential emergency islanders face. In early July, I conducted an in-depth interview with Eli, in which we discussed wildfire risk in greater detail. I had a lot of questions: Why and how has this risk intensified over the last 20 years? How is our fire department responding to the growing hazard? What can Cortes Islanders do to protect themselves and their homes?

Frågan tycks inte längre vara om utan när vi kommer till Mars. Maria Küchen funderar över vad som får oss att bryta upp och söka nya världar. På jorden såväl som i rymden. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd: 2017-02-06.År 2031 ger sig den första besättningen astronauter av från jorden. Ett år senare slår de sig ner på Mars. Åtminstone enligt planerna som presenteras av Mars-ONE, ett holländskt företag som redan har plockat ut kandidater till besättningen.Det hela avfärdas av vissa som ett PR-jippo. Andra tar projektet Mars-ONE på fullt allvar. Frågan tycks inte längre vara OM människan en dag landar på Mars, utan vilka som gör det först.NASA vill sända astronauter till Mars innan 2030-talet är över, i samarbete med bland rymdstationen ISS, privata företag och Kinas rymdfart. Andra människan på månen, astronauten Buzz Aldrin, stödjer projektet helhjärtat. I dag är han över åttio år men pigg och alert, och ses ofta bära en T-shirt med texten GET YOUR ASS TO MARS.Och det privata rymdföretaget SpaceX meddelar att man vill sända iväg sin första bemannade rymdfarkost mot Mars redan 2024. SpaceX grundare, den excentriske och visionäre miljardären Elon Musk, vill se en koloni på Mars med en miljon invånare inom hundra år. Själva ändamålet med att grunda SpaceX, säger han, var att göra människan till en multiplanet species, en art som lever på många planeter.Det låter rätt galet. Kan det verkligen genomföras, och i så fall, vad ska det vara bra för? Varför kolonisera rymden? Varför stannar vi inte bara där vi är och vårdar den enda planet vi faktiskt har?Vi ger oss av för att vi kan och för att vi vill – och för att vi måste.Tvånget att färdas genom rymderna betonas gärna i fiktioner: diktsviten Aniara; teveserien Månbas Alpha; David Bowies sång Space Oddity som finns på en LP från 1969, året för den första månlandningen. Rymdskeppets besättning har förlorat kontakten med jorden och är hänvisad till en färd mot det okända, utan hopp om återvändo eller räddning. Det blir metaforen för en mänsklighet som tappat kontakten med sitt ursprung, och måste underkasta sig en högteknologisk civilisation som människan har skapat men inte längre är herre över.SF-fiktioner som Star Trek betonar i stället kunskapen och viljan. Där speglas en mänsklighet på väg framåt, inte bara tekniskt och geografiskt utan också etiskt ­– en mänsklighet som försöker förstå och respektera sig själv genom att se andra, antingen de nu är vulkaner eller klingoner eller besättningsmedlemmar med olika ursprung.Jag får rysningar av Star Trek-seriens valspråk, inte bara för rymdens skull utan för det urmänskliga i uppdraget: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before. Jag får rysningar av både lust och avsmak: av skönheten i det och av ekot från historien, ett eko från kolonialismen.Att ge sig av med full insikt om att man aldrig kommer tillbaka, det har människor gjort sen urminnes tider. Från början var vi nomader. Vi vaknade varje morgon och lämnade platsen där vi hade sovit för att aldrig återvända. På jägar- och samlartiden, då ingick knappast individualismen och individens rätt till fria val i människans berättelse om sig själv. Individualismen är ny, och kanske är den fortfarande rätt så provinsiell. Den har uppstått och odlats i västerlandet under några hundra år, och individualismens utveckling har gått hand i hand med kolonialismen. Kolonisering av mars innebär att unga, välutbildade, äventyrliga och fertila människor frivilligt fattar individuella beslut att lämna jorden för att inte återvända. På nåt vis blir ju detta juvelen i den västerländska individualismens krona – en individualism som bejakar handlingskraft och styrka, men inte har lika mycket plats för det ömtåliga och stillsamma.Frivilliga mars-pionjärer finns det förvånansvärt gott om. Mars-ONE har idag ett startfält på hundra kandidater. Där finns Ritika från Indien, Sandra från Brasilien, Sadegh från Iran och så vidare, men de flesta är européer och amerikaner.De vill inte stanna kvar där de befinner sig. Inte heller jägar- och samlartidens nomader stannade kvar där de befann sig. Vi hade ännu inte börjat odla något, så jorden band oss inte. Vi bröt upp, ständigt, men på jägar- och samlartiden var vi inga djärva marsresenärer eller romantiska poor lonesome cowboys i silhuett mot solnedgången. Vårt kontinuerliga uppbrott var inte som till exempel i On The Road av Jack Kerouac. On the road är en rätt så tidstypisk västerländsk nittonhundratalsgestaltning av individens, oftast mannens, flykt från ansvar och sammanhang. På jägar- och samlartiden däremot, då bröt vi upp för att vi behövde samla mat för dagen.Vi fortsatte för att vi måste, då som nu. Att stanna kvar var inte ett alternativ, säger en del människor som på vinst och förlust har flytt från outhärdliga förhållanden i sina hemländer. Människan har fötter, inte rötter, säger andra.Vi strävar kanske mot Mars för att vi inte riktigt längre får plats på en alltmer överbefolkad och förödd jord, och vi strävar som sagt mot Mars för att vi kan och vill, ja ”vi” och ”vi”. De högteknologiska västerländska planerna på att kolonisera Mars är förstås ett projekt för ett fåtal, och det hela kanske förblir en Startrek-aktig dröm bara, men, drömmen om något annat där ute, något okänt som vi ännu bara kan fantisera om, den är en allmänmänsklig drivkraft. Åtminstone i vissa lägen.En stor del av Sveriges befolkning bröt upp från jorden de kände, utan återvändo, för mindre än tvåhundra år sen. Och vikingarna, de norska vikingarna! Som koloniserade Färöarna, Orkneyöarna, Shetlandsöarna, Island, Grönland och fortsatte ända till Nordamerika!Jag har en storslagen inre bild av hur dessa modiga vikingar gav sig ut från norska kusten, ut över ett okänt hav, utan att ens veta om det fanns något där ute. Men fullt så filmiskt var det nog inte på riktigt att fara från Norge till Island, inte ens för de första pionjärerna. Island lär ha upptäckts av misstag. En norrman vid namn Nadodd sägs ha seglat vilse när han skulle ta sig från Norge till Färöarna på åttahundratalet och hamnade i stället mycket längre åt nordväst.Nadodd följdes av andra, av familjer och hushåll som hade tröttnat på att lyda under det framväxande norska kungaväldet, eller behövde mark att bruka, eller ville ha mer mark fast de kanske inte behövde det. Färden mellan Norge och Island tog som snabbast tre dygn, så några marsfärder var det knappast frågan om. Snart uppstod två tämligen väl trafikerade trader: eyalei∂, ”övägen” och ”úthafslei∂”, havsvägen. Övägen gick från Norge via Shetland eller Orkney, vidare till Färöarna och så till Island. Havsvägen gick som namnet antyder rakt ut över havet.I dag finns liknande leder i luftrummet. De transatlantiska luftlederna mellan Europa och USA är rena motorvägarna med tät flygtrafik. Och SpaceX grundare Elon Musk målar upp bilder av en liknande tät skytteltrafik så småningom mellan jorden och Mars.I hans planer ingår ett enormt rymdskepp som kan ta hundra personer åt gången, ett slags rymdens Amerikabåt om man så vill. Och redan 2024 är det alltså tänkt att en första mindre besättning rymdvikingar ger sig av till Mars – inte av misstag som när Nadodd råkade hitta Island, de har en färdplan. Och de kommer inte att upptäcka en plats som vi inte redan har sett i teleskop och via satelliter. Men att stanna kvar här på jorden är kanske då inte längre ett alternativ.Maria Küchen, författare och kulturskribent

In 1968 and 1969, Scottish newspapers reported that a haunted floating island on Loch Garry had broken loose and become wedged against a Bailey bridge near Greenfield. Known locally as Children's Island, it was tied to an old kelpie legend in which seven children were carried into the loch by a water horse, and their red hearts were later said to have appeared on the winter water.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:The Press and Journal, 20 January 1969, "End of Menace in Loch Garry – 'Haunted' Island to Be Cut Up."https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Garryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpiehttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Folk-Lore_Journal/Volume_1/Kelpie_Storieshttps://scotlands-stories.com/scottish-kelpie-legends/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Barry Letts - a name that is rightly revered in Doctor Who circles for his work in producing the majority of the Third Doctor's era on television, as well as casting Tom Baker as the Doctor. Today, we take a look at a novel which was written by Letts in 2005, just as the TV show returned to our screens with Christopher Eccleston. Island of Death features the Third Doctor, Sarah, the Brigadier and Jeremy Fitzoliver, as he expands Season 11, having started with The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space. We feature a plethora of reading talent, bringing this novel to life, 21 years after publication.

Appledore 2 (Van Damme queued)! This week we have ten hours of uninterrupted small-island ocean vibes from off the coast of northern New England. Distant calm waves, birds, and buoys. Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just pure island isolation. Ignore the World._____Special thanks to my twin for capturing this audio. The recording took place on a June afternoon earlier this year. And a note to the kids out there: if you do science stuff, you get to go to cool places. My sister has parlayed her marine ecology career into research trips overseas—to a ton of Europe, Central and South America, and Appledore.Appledore is a tiny Maine island off the coast of New Hampshire. It's Maine because the state line follows the Piscataqua River into the ocean and splits the island group between the two states. So New Hampshire has Star Island and White Island. And Maine has Cedar, Appledore, and (grizzly axe murders) Smuttynose.It's difficult to separate Smuttynose from its history. So I would suggest getting the history from J. Dennis Robinson's book Mystery on the Isle of Shoals. It's a Smuttynose historian's view of the island. (The book begins hundreds of millions of years ago and quickly leads to the events of March 5, 1873.)The motivation of Robinson's book feels less like, "Here is some history of an island and its terrible events," and more like someone needs to correct the record after a novelist flipped the history to exonerate the axe murderer and blame the woman who survived the attack (in the fictional book—and later film—The Weight of Water). Interestingly, John Wilkes Booth's brother, Edwin Booth, has a cameo in Isle of Shoals history. He showed up on Star Island a few years after the Smuttynose murders (and after his brother murdered Lincoln) to stay at the (then) new Oceanic Hotel. Edwin had nothing to do with the Smuttynose murders—but if I wrote The Weight of Water 2, I'd pin the **** on that dude.

Visiting Ireland's islands, especially those in a Gaeltacht area, is a great way to imagine how our recent ancestors lived. Diarmuid Ó Drisceoil was born in Cork City, but spent a lot of time on Oileán Cléire, where his grandparents and extended family lived. Now he has compiled an eclectic record of items, places, and events into a beautiful book that paints a vivid picture of island life over time. Diarmuid joins Pat to discuss.

For the first time, China's coast guard is asserting sovereignty over waters beyond the First Island Chain and out in the open Pacific, far to the east of Taiwan. To justify it, a hastily assembled group of Chinese academics has suddenly declared that the Philippines' northernmost (and very much inhabited) Batanes island province actually belongs to China.Is this a dangerous new escalation or just another day in East Asia's highly contested maritime gray zone?This week, co-hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso flip the script and put a reporter in the guest chair: Brad Lendon, CNN's Senior News Desk Reporter for Global Military Affairs, who's covered China's maritime rise for over a decade and authored the June 25 story that sparked this conversation, “‘Salami slicing': How China is trying to increase control in the Pacific”Brad makes the case that this "salami slicing" is nothing new. Beijing has spent years applying steady, below-the-threshold pressure using white-hulled coast guard ships rather than navy gray-hulls. But now those ships are radio-challenging commercial vessels east of Taiwan, mapping the seabed and settling in for what looks like a permanent presence outside the First Island Chain.In this episode:Why coast guard "law enforcement" ships are a more insidious tool for asserting sovereignty than warshipsWhat China's radio challenges to commercial ships could be rehearsing, and Ray's "boa constrictor" warning about a soft quarantine of Taiwan already beginningHow the out-of-nowhere Batanes claim fits Beijing's long-game strategyWhether the Japan-Philippine maritime delimitation talks were a real trigger or just a convenient pretextWhat it all means for the U.S. defense strategy built around the First Island Chain, and whether it's the right tool for a non-military threatBrad's unforgettable story from the bridge of a Canadian frigate threading the Taiwan Strait at midnightA sharp, practitioner-level look at how the map of the Western Pacific is being quietly redrawn one slice at a time.Subscribe for your weekly Indo-Pacific briefing.Follow Brad Lendon's reporting on CNN or on X, @BradLendonFollow us on X, @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn or FacebookFollow Ray Powell on X, @GordianKnotRay, or LinkedIn, or check out his maritime transparency work at SeaLightFollow Jim Carouso on LinkedInSponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific

In May of 1999, surveyor Zdenko Grbavac discovered a mathematically precise isosceles quadrilateral etched into the barren, moon-like plateau of Velo Tusto Celo on Pag Island. This physical anomaly, where the jagged bedrock suddenly shifts into a uniform layer of small, pale, flattened stones, collided with a decades-long history of unexplained aerial phenomena and silent, luminous objects reported over the region. This episode explores the dual mysteries of the Pag Triangle, investigating the physical ground formation alongside decades of reported sky sightings through the competing lenses of cosmic alternative theories and earth science.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.

In July 1831, the whaleship Mentor sailed out of New Bedford Harbor with 22 men aboard, hoping to strike it rich hunting sperm whales in the Pacific. They never made it. Caught in a raging storm, the ship smashed into the remote island chain of Palau — and within hours, half the crew was dead.What followed is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American maritime history. In this episode, host Blaine DeSantis sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eric J. Dolin to unravel what happened to the men who lived: hostage negotiations demanding 200 guns, years of forced labor and starvation on a tiny island just one mile long, forced tattooing meant to absorb the castaways into island culture, daring escapes aboard passing ships, and a naval rescue mission ordered by President Andrew Jackson himself.Along the way, Dolin pulls back the curtain on the golden age of American whaling — the stench you could smell before you saw the ship, the teenage "green hands" who'd never been to sea, and why most whalemen came home with almost nothing to show for years of brutal work. He also shares how he pieced together this forgotten story from logbooks, journals, Palauan oral histories, and more than 100 rare illustrations from archives around the world.Only 7 of the 22 men ever made it home. This is their story.

 Halifax Part 1 of 2  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  Find my book series on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Halifax,  Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 1 of 2 Eastern Canada is understated. This episode is about what I actually did there in August 2025, as a solo woman traveler. Halifax surprised me. It is a harbor city, a university city, a military city, a cruise-ship city, and a place where history seems to rise from the water. One of the first things I noticed is that Halifax is surrounded by water. The harbor is not just scenery. It is part of the city's identity. Ships, ferries, kayaks, cruise passengers, navy vessels, and waterfront walkers all share the same sense of place. So I walked, I spent a lot of time along the waterfront. There was music, people eating outside, and a lively summer feeling. I was there around August 4, which was a holiday, and I ate poutine at the buskers' event. Poutine was new to me. It is French fries with cheese curds and gravy, topped with ketchup. It was a different flavor for me, and that is part of travel: trying something even when you are not sure it will become your favorite. Halifax has a strong maritime history, and I visited the Maritime Museum. That was one of the highlights. I learned more about the Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917, when two ships collided in the harbor. The explosion was enormous — often described as the world's largest pre-atomic explosion. I heard that the anchor landed miles away, the water was displaced, and a tsunami followed. The next day, there was a blizzard. That story stayed with me because it showed how much tragedy this city has survived. The Maritime Museum also connects you to other parts of Halifax history, including shipyards, dockyards, and the city's role as a port. If you are a first-time visitor, this is a good place to start because it helps you understand why Halifax matters. Immigration museum https://pier21.ca/ Look up your family history here, including whether you have US relatives. It had a 15-minute wait, but it was free. I also visited the Citadel, up on the hill. I spent about two hours there learning about the military and cultural changes in the area. It was informative, and I am glad I made the climb. Halifax has hills, so wear good walking shoes. You may think you are just going "up the hill to the museum," but your legs will know you are in a real city with elevation. Another special experience was my kayak tour around St. George's Island. It was a two-and-a-half-hour tour, and we learned about tunnels and armaments from the time when the British were responsible for the harbor's defense and security. It was expensive, but I was really glad I did it. Sometimes a higher-cost experience is worth it because it gives you a memory you would not get any other way. I also made time for beauty and quiet. I took bus number 1 to the Public Gardens, and they were beautiful. The main gate is near South Park Street and Spring Garden Road. That area is a good part of the city to explore. I wandered, took buses, and let myself explore different parts of Halifax rather than staying in just one tourist zone. One morning, I went swimming at the Centennial Pool at 8:30 AM. The water was chilly, but not freezing, and I swam for about 45 minutes. It felt fantastic. I love finding ordinary things in a new city — a public pool, a bus route, a grocery store, a coffee shop — because those places help me feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident. I noticed Tim Hortons everywhere. Strong coffee, bathrooms, and big business. For a traveler, especially one moving around by bus, knowing where you can get coffee and find a bathroom matters. I rode public buses and appreciated that they announced the next street before arriving. That was helpful when I was trying to figure out where I was going. At one point, I jumped on a 10C bus, not completely sure where it was going, but I was on South Park Street and Spring Garden Road and seeing more of Halifax. That is one of my travel styles: I like to wander, but I also pay attention. I passed St. Mary's University, Dalhousie University, Gorsebrook Park on Inglis Street, and other neighborhoods. Halifax has a strong student presence, which gives parts of the city energy. Quinpool Road felt like a main drag for shops. I also hopped at the Mic Mac Mall. I went to the Art Gallery, where Maud Lewis's paintings are an important draw. I saw Point Pleasant Park, one of my favorite parts of the city, especially around Young Avenue. Halifax has one gated street with six houses on the ocean, and that area felt peaceful and special. Point Pleasant Park also carries reminders of storms and resilience. I heard about a hurricane in 2010 that downed a huge number of trees. Nature is beautiful here, but also powerful. I also visited downtown Halifax, including St. Paul's Anglican Church, the city's oldest building, dating back to 1749. It is close to downtown and gives you a sense of how old Halifax is by North American standards. A few small details stayed with me. Some red traffic lights in Nova Scotia were square. The city has a Commons area for winter skating at the Emera Oval. There is an armory, the Scotiabank Center for events, cruise ships at the harbor, Irving gas stations, and a pretty waterfront at night. I even saw or heard about Theodore the Tugboat, which brought a lighter, cheerful side to the harbor. My food experiences included fish and chips, scallops, clams, poutine, and outdoor eating. I remember Olive and Rudy, scallops and clams, and the pleasure of eating outside when the weather is right. Halifax is a good place for seafood and simple travel meals. One day, I had a ham sandwich, an apple, a pear, an orange, and toast. That helped me manage costs while spending money on experiences. My caution for listeners: someone mentioned the "Dome" neighborhood as a place with many bars and a possible recipe for a bar fight. I would say this more gently: as a solo traveler, especially at night, be aware of nightlife districts. You do not have to avoid fun, but you do need to know your surroundings. The shownote includes a link to crime mapping in Halifax. https://www.halifax.ca/safety-security/police/crime-mapping   My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My lesson: Halifax is not just a pretty Canadian harbor. It is a city of resilience, history, students, seafood, public spaces, and water views. Next up will be Part 2 of 2 on Halifax.    Travel Mistakes  My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My travel tip: take the buses, walk the waterfront, and do at least one water-based experience — a ferry, harbor cruise, or kayak tour.     AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

We avoided this episode because we thought it was going to be a sad episode about internment camps. But while the damage done to Japanese-Americans in World War II is definitely discussed, there are also wild car accidents, classic Magnum takes to the camera, optimal Magnum-Higgins bickering, and Macho Taco! Is this a core episode of “Magnum”? Follow the Kool-Aid Man. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

It's Wednesday, July 15th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pakistani Christians targeted in absurd blasphemy cases Most blasphemy cases in Pakistan in recent years were fabricated. Officials admitted this to a parliamentary committee last week. Christians were among the people targeted in the hundreds of fabricated cases.  The country's blasphemy law criminalizes insulting Islam. People often use the law to target religious minorities like Christians. Just last week, a Pakistani court acquitted a Christian man in this kind of case. Thirty-seven-year-old Dennis Albert had spent two years in prison over false accusations.  In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” British island legalizing assisted suicide The British Channel Island of Jersey is legalizing assisted suicide.  The self-governing island is under the British Crown. Jersey received Royal Assent for its so-called “Assisted Dying Law” last week. Once the law takes effect, the territory will be the first place in the British Isles to legalize such killing. Other jurisdictions in the British Isles are also trying to legalize assisted suicide. These include the Isle of Man as well as England and Wales.  Arkansas: Best state for religious liberty; New York is the worst First Liberty released its 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report. The index ranks states in America based on how well they protect religious freedom.  Only Arkansas and Tennessee received excellent scores on the index. New York and Vermont scored the worst. The majority of states scored below 50 percent on the index.  Arkansas' Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke at a press conference after her state won the highest score on the index. Listen. SANDERS: “Jesus commands us to live out our faith boldly. The Constitution protects our rights to do so. In this administration, we don't just believe that Jesus is our living hope. We will always stand up for the rights of Arkansans who believe the same. “I want to thank First Liberty for recognizing Arkansas's work and for honoring us with this ranking. It's something we are very proud of and we will continue to make sure we stay number one.” Michigan pro-life groups will not be compelled to hire pro-aborts A federal judge ruled in favor of pro-life groups in Michigan last week.  A state law would require pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion employees. Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center challenged this law in court. The recent ruling blocks Michigan from enforcing the law.  Amber Roseboom, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said, “The court's decision is a welcome reprieve and reaffirms our fundamental right to hire employees who agree with our life-affirming mission.” New law will make housing more affordable The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in the United States. last Saturday.  The bipartisan bill is an attempt to make housing more affordable for Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the law on X. She said, “This bipartisan bill includes policies long championed by the President. It cuts unnecessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and limits the ability of large institutional investors to purchase single-family homes.” Median home price: $440,600 In related news, home prices continued to rise last month. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that the median sales price of an existing home reached $440,600 in June. That's the highest on record.  Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors noted, “Affordability is better than a year ago because wage growth is outpacing home price growth. However, progress on long-term housing affordability could be hampered if inventory growth continues to stall.” People who experienced heartache more likely to turn to Bible Last week, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its “State of the Bible: USA 2026” report.  The survey found that people who experienced a negative life event in the past year were significantly more likely to be Bible users than those who had not experienced that challenge. Such challenges included divorce, natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, death of a close friend or family member, and unemployment. The report noted, “Amidst hardships, those who regularly engage with Scripture maintain significantly higher flourishing scores.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Washington, and Indiana Susan Tarwater in Hoyt, Kansas, wrote me and said, “I do not watch television. So, I depend on The Worldview as a shortened version of important news I need to hear. Especially news that a Christian needs to be aware of without all the glitter.” Tom Lister in Spokane, Washington wrote me to say, “Adam, I listen to your broadcast every weekday morning. I especially like how you keep us informed about the church, the persecution of many, and how, in many places, the church is slipping into apostasy. I also appreciate how you always end on a very positive outlook. Keep up the good fight! I'm a monthly supporter already but might be able to increase the amount.” And Melinda Johnson in Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote, “I've been listening to and reading The Worldview for several years now. My favorite part of the news is hearing about different stories that are not reported by mainstream media -- things like persecuted Christians, updates on abortion, how the Gospel is impacting the world, and issues affecting the conservative Christian movement. “The Worldview is quite different than any other news, even Christian sources, that cover the regular news. Your newscast brings up topics that help me know what to pray for in the world. You and the team are continuing in a great work!” 3 Worldview listeners gave $205 And finally, on Tuesday by 6:00pm Central, only 3 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Teresa in Haverford, Pennsylvania who gave $5 as well as Lawrence in Lynchburg, Virginia and Gary in Westminster, Colorado – both of whom gave $100 Those 3 gifts add up to $205.
