Part 2 of our Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials interviews. If you haven't listened to part 1, I recommend checking it out. Our first two interviews are both with racers on electric motorcycles, but they are completely different. First up is Rennie Scaysbrook who is riding the fully faired Lightning motorcycle with a potential of 250+ mph. He has raced at Isle of Man and Pikes Peak, but this is his first time at Bonneville. He shares with us his first experiences on the salt. Next up we sit down with Kit and Bear on the Zero with a sidecar. This is their 2nd time at Bonneville, and they are feeling good about the 4 new speed records they set. But of course none of this would happen without the leadership of Delvene Reber. Liza asks her how she got involved with land speed racing, and how she manages such an amazing team of volunteers.

St Ninians High School held its third ‘election market place' last Thursday where St Ninian's students gave the election candidates a good grilling. So what did the students make of the wannabe MHKs? Will the youth vote turn out in numbers and influence Thursday's election? What are the hopes and concerns of 16 to 18 year olds? We'll have answers to all these questions and more on Perspective. Do our politicians really understand the younger electorate? If they do, what will they be delivering in the next five years to ensure the next generation will want to stay in the Isle of Man and make its future one to be proud of?

Yacht ownership is changing. The next generation of owners is asking different questions, commissioning more adventurous vessels and expecting far more from the jurisdictions, advisors and professional networks standing behind them.A flag may be visible, but the real value lies in everything behind it.In this episode of Yachting Confidential, Sabrina van Maltha sits down with Capt. Lee Clarke, General Manager of Isle of Man Maritime, to explore what makes a maritime jurisdiction worthy of an owner's trust.The Isle of Man has built its international reputation on far more than yacht registration. Its strength lies in responsiveness, professional expertise, ownership structures, seafarer knowledge and a connected maritime community that understands the responsibility behind some of the world's most significant vessels.Lee shares his journey from life at sea to maritime leadership and explains how Isle of Man Maritime is bringing the island's commercial, superyacht, business, digital, skills and seafarer sectors together into one stronger ecosystem.From expedition yachts and sustainability to crew welfare, artificial intelligence and changing owner expectations, this episode reveals the quiet infrastructure behind serious yacht ownership and why choosing the right jurisdiction matters long after the flag has been raised.Guest:Capt.

Send us Fan MailAhead of the Museum Open Day on Saturday 12th September, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts meet in the museum to look at items recently donated or acquired for the museum.They begin with a First World War brass bugle issued to the Herefordshire Regiment's Supplementary Company - made up of old Territorial soldiers who were too old to fight overseas. Our pair examine the role of the Supplementary Company including guarding German civil internees on the Isle of Man.Two new weapons have been acquired from the Royal Air Force Museum's reserve collection and will be on show in our museum cases for our open day. The advantages and disadvantages of the Mark II Sten gun are discussed. This weapon was used widely during the Second World War by British and Commonwealth units as well as by resistance fighters on the continent. Men of the Herefordshire Regiment used this weapon in the liberation of North-West Europe in 1944 and 1945; unfortunately with the result of several casualties within the regiment itself.The Stirling sub-machine gun, the Sten's successor is also examined and finds its place in our post-war display case. Often issued to tank crews, radio operators and others working in confined spaces, it was popular on exercise as it was much lighter than the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle to carry, even if it was far less accurate!Finally, inside a pig skin case is a platoon "bible" compiled by Second Lieutenant Geoffrey Poppleton Lloyd, a Leominster solicitor, listing all the men in his platoon that he took to Gallipoli in July 1915. There are fascinating details, including everything from hat size to home addresses, pay and allowances. Our pair discuss the important role pastoral role played by platoon officers and Lloyd's wartime career - being evacuated from both Gallipoli and later Egypt and his attachment to the 1st Battalion, Kings Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI). He was captured by German forces on the first day of the Spring Offensive in March 1918, along with Andy and Paul's ancestor Charles Percy Taylor.If you are around on 12th September and would like to visit the museum, call along to Suvla Barracks, Harold Street, Hereford, HR1 2QX.

Three stories from across the cruise industry. HM Coastguard airlifted a passenger from Carnival Legend on the morning of August 29, after a medical evacuation request came in at 9:40 a.m. with the ship about eight nautical miles south of Lizard Point, Cornwall; the passenger was flown ashore and handed to the ambulance service at Newquay, and neither age nor condition was disclosed. Carnival Legend had sailed from Dover on August 20 on a British Isles itinerary taking in the Isle of Man, Cork, Holyhead, Dublin, Liverpool, Greenock and Belfast, and was due back into Dover on August 30. Princess Cruises has confirmed it will double its New Zealand port calls from the 2028-29 season, growing to nine destinations including Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Napier, Lyttelton, Dunedin, Picton, Timaru and Fiordland, with some itineraries running round trip from Auckland; the commitment lands while national deployment sits more than 40 percent below its peak. And P&O Cruises ran a 5 percent bank holiday discount from August 28 to September 1 on Select Price and Early Saver bookings for sailings between January 1, 2027 and October 28, 2028, with Select Price fares carrying up to £350 per cabin in onboard spending money.

Jack Bilbo hielten die einen für Al Capones Bodyguard, andere dachten, er sei ein legendärer Kapitän oder sogar der Schriftsteller B. Traven aus Mexiko. Doch diese Legenden und Mythen hatte Jack Bilbo selbst geschaffen, mit Büchern, in denen er sich als den größten Abenteurer des 20. Jahrhunderts erfand. Dabei wäre sein wirkliches Leben schon abenteuerlich genug gewesen.Jack Bilbo, der in Wirklichkeit Hugo Cyrill Kulp Baruch hieß, stammte aus einer reichen jüdischen Berliner Theaterfamilie. Als Siebenjähriger musste er, der eine englische Mutter hatte, nach Holland emigrieren, mit sechzehn schob ihn sein Vater nach Amerika ab und mit vierundzwanzig feierte er als Schriftsteller seinen ersten Erfolg. Bilbo kämpfte gegen die Nazis in Deutschland und gegen die Faschisten im spanischen Bürgerkrieg. Auf der Isle of Man, wo man ihn während des II. Weltkriegs als Deutschen internierte, gründete er die Volksuniversität und in London die "Modern Art Gallery", die bedeutendste Galerie dieser Zeit. Gegen Lebensende besaß er eine Bar in Berlin: "Käpt'n Bilbos Hafenspelunke". Dort hatte ihn kurz vor seinem Tod 1967 Ludwig Lugmeier besucht. Für den Gangster und Abenteurer, der später selbst Schriftsteller wurde, war Jack Bilbo ein Vorbild gewesen. Vierzig Jahre danach zeichnet er ein Portrait des Mannes, einer Gestalt zwischen Realität und Fiktion.Feature von Ludwig LugmeierMit: Udo Wachtveitl, Hans Teuscher, Katja NottkeProduktion: MDR 2006Verfügbar bis 30.

On 2 August 1973, thousands of holidaymakers were enjoying an evening at Summerland, a vast state-of-the-art leisure complex on the seafront in Douglas, Isle of Man. Within minutes, it had become the scene of one of the deadliest fires in modern British history.What began as a small fire outside the building spread with terrifying speed, fuelled by highly combustible materials used in Summerland's construction. As flames engulfed the complex, families desperately tried to escape. By the end of the night, 50 people had lost their lives and scores more had been injured.But the Summerland disaster was more than a tragic accident. Questions would soon emerge about the design of the building, fire precautions, evacuation procedures and a catalogue of decisions that had left thousands of people dangerously vulnerable.This week on Seeing Red, we revisit the devastating Summerland fire: how a holiday attraction billed as a futuristic paradise became an inferno, the lives lost that night, the investigation that followed, the eye witness testimony from survivors, and why one of the worst peacetime fire disasters in British history has largely faded from public memory.http://www.youtube.com/@seeingredtruecrimepodcastwww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcasthttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtwwww.seeingredpodcast.co.ukTheme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Hosted on Acast.

For twenty-five years, exorcists have been sending a New York psychiatrist the cases they can't explain, and they chose him because they expected him to say no.==========HOUR ONE: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========HOUR TWO: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth? Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't.

It's time to open the That Don't Sound Right listener mailbag! In this episode, Peter and Cecil respond to a stack of listener emails covering everything from the stainless-steel cup craze and old-school weather phone lines and almanacs to memorable Tannerite stories, explosions, and the strange things people remember from before everything was online. The conversation also circles back to some of the show's favorite themes, including unwritten social rules. Peter and Cecil discuss the etiquette we somehow learn without anyone teaching us—whether it's at the barbershop, on a bus, or even in the way we write and respond to emails. They also revisit the Isle of Man TT, swapping thoughts on the legendary motorcycle race, and share a particularly thoughtful message from a middle-school listener that reminds them why listener feedback is such an important part of the show. This is That Don't Sound Right at its best: real questions, strange stories, memories, disagreements, and conversations that don't need an immediate Google search to be interesting. So keep the emails coming. Your question, story, disagreement, or "that doesn't sound right" moment could be featured on the next mailbag episode. Subscribe, leave a comment, and join the conversation. Because this podcast isn't just Peter and Cecil talking—it's all of us talking. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #ListenerMailbag #PodcastMailbag #StainlessSteelCups #Tannerite #IsleOfManTT #MotorcycleRacing #WeatherAlmanac #WeatherLines #UnwrittenRules #SocialEtiquette #BarbershopEtiquette #PodcastCommunity #ListenerQuestions #OldSchool #Nostalgia #Conversation #PreInternet #Podcast Connect with us:
Lizzie Adamson-Brown is the Founder and Lead Travel Strategist of Rhythm & Routes, a boutique travel advisory based on the Isle of Man. After 12 years teaching Business and Economics, a serious health scare prompted her to follow her heart into travel. In her first 10 weeks of independence, she won the TTG Wellness Travel Adviser of the Year 2026 award. Lizzie specialises in health and wellness travel but recognises wellness is much more than a spa. Her work is about finding the right trip for the right client at the right point in their life.

Charley Boorman sits down with Jase to tell the real story behind Long Way Round, the trip with Ewan McGregor that changed the motorcycle adventure genre forever. From how the idea came together over dinner in London, to the Dakar Rally training that got him ready, to riding the Road of Bones across Siberia to Magadan, Charley walks through the trip that shaped his life. They get into what four months on the road with Ewan actually taught him, how the Sky One deal came together, the Long Way Down and Long Way Up follow-ups, riding Australia end to end, 53 miles of hard enduro at the Isle of Man with David Knight, and what makes Jett Lawrence and Marc Marquez operate on a different level than the rest of us. Whether you've watched every Long Way series or you're finding Charley for the first time, this is the interview that goes deeper than the shows ever could.

CLiz Peek discusses the strong American economy, noting that small businesses feel relief as tariff threats abate and inflation falls. Lower energy and gasoline prices have cheered investors. Anecdotal evidence from local bookstores and ice cream parlors reinforces a positive outlook for consumer sentiment. (1)Liz Peek highlights the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America as a significant threat to established Democraticincumbents. Young voters are flocking to radical platforms promising free services. Rahm Emanuel emerges as a blunt voice for the party, urging a challenge against these "loons." (2)Jonathan Schanzer reports on the restart of hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil prices have hit $87 per barrel. The US is conducting air strikes against Iranian naval assets and drone bases. Schanzer questions why these strategic targets were not hit earlier in the conflict. (3)Jonathan Schanzer explores the Houthi threat in North Yemen and the potential for a wider regional conflict. While the US keeps Israel on the sidelines to avoid escalation, Turkey's "neo-Ottoman" ambitions are rising. Schanzer warns that Turkey seeks to fill the power vacuum left by Iran. (4)Mary Kissel analyzes the failure of the Iran ceasefire, noting that Iran calculated the US lacks the will for ground intervention. The conflict centers on Iran's suspect nuclear program, with potential new targets at Pickaxe Mountain. Public engagement remains low despite rising energy costs. (5)Mary Kissel discusses NATO's decision to reinforce Ukraine with advanced drone technology and Patriot missile manufacturing. Ukraine is hailed as the "future of warfare," transitioning from a security consumer to a security contributor. Kissel emphasizes the need for the US to counter Russian propaganda. (6)Joseph Sternberg examines Germany's economic struggles under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, including a shift toward deregulation and infrastructure borrowing. Massive layoffs at Volkswagen signal the end of traditional "lifetime employment." Merz faces political challenges from Social Democrats who resist aggressive free-market changes. (7)Joseph Sternberg addresses the assassination of former MP Ann Widdecombe, which is being investigated as a possible act of political violence. Sternberg notes that existential political rhetoric on social media often inspires such attacks. These tensions reflect broader global concerns regarding political polarization. (8)Gregory Copley critiques the stalemate in the Persian Gulf, suggesting that US air strikes alone cannot win without a plan for regime change. He advocates for supporting the domestic Iranian population against the clerical leadership. Turkey's opposition to empowering Kurdish forces remains a significant complication. (9)Gregory Copley discusses the inevitability of Ukraine's path to NATO, a move he views as a provocation to Russia. He argues the war preserves President Zelensky's power without a democratic mandate. However, he acknowledges Ukraine's technological ingenuity in developing swarming drone capabilities for modern combat. (10)Gregory Copley highlights Australia's declining regional power as Indonesia and India rise strategically. China'smissile tests and interest in Antarctica further destabilize the South Pacific. As the Antarctic Treaty ends, a scramble for the world's largest oil deposits appears imminent. (11)Gregory Copley details King Charles III's visit to the Isle of Man, the world's oldest continuous parliament. The King also held a private, discreet meeting with Prince Harry. Meanwhile, the UK faces rising anxiety over security for political leaders following the assassination of Ann Widdecombe. (12)Jeff McCausland discusses the closing of the Strait of Hormuz due to Iranian threats from land-based missiles and drones. President Trump faces a dilemma: muddle through, escalate with ground forces, or withdraw. McCausland warns that seizing territory like Kharg Island would result in significant casualties. (13)Jeff McCausland notes that Europe now views Ukraine as a security contributor due to its mastery of drone and robotic warfare. While Putin considers escalation or mobilization, Chinese pressure likely prevents the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The US continues to communicate "serious consequences." (14)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa condemn Gustavo Petro's refusal to recognize election results in Colombia. They criticize Brazil's President Lula for his silence on criminal leftist regimes. The "Shield of the Americas" alliance is emerging to defend regional democracy and fight corruption.

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.
