The agents flew across the battlefield in their stolen Aquila Lander toward the crash site and their Heretek target, only to spot several Khornate cultists already there, pulling people out of the wreckage. The band seemed to have the upper hand until their Lander was suddenly shot out of the sky and plummeted toward where they stood below. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Enjoying Agents of the Inquisition?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

In Episode 331, Kestrel welcomes Ben Mead, the Managing Director of Hohenstein Institute America, to the show. In Ben's role, he serves as the company's liaison with government agencies, industry collaborations and trade associations, and he also oversees OEKO-TEX® responsibilities for the U.S. “You can't make any real good decision around chemistry or you know how a product is made, if you don't know who's making it and what's going into it.” -Ben MAY THEME — HOW TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM OUR CLOTHES MOVE AROUND THE WORLD It is a tumultuous time when it comes to policy, and policy that is specifically impacting global supply chains. Not only immediately, when we think about tariffs and the unclear, yet very real, impacts they will have on fashion businesses, but also legislation across the world that has either passed or is on the table, and requires fashion companies to be more tuned in to the actual impacts of their supply chains. These bills have without a doubt brought fear and stress to many fashion brands, because if they haven't been mapping their supply chains previously, it's going to prove very difficult for them to comply with some of these new requirements. What should brands know about these changing regulations? How can they navigate the shifting landscape, and what should they be doing now? As this week's guest reminds us, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are things brands can be doing to rethink their supply chains and expand their approach to sustainability.

Microplastics are seemingly everywhere, even our clothes. From production through wash days, synthetic fabrics are shedding microplastics into the air and water. It's a big issue that's going to take shifts from manufacturing to our own homes, and we wanted to start tackling this big discussion with the help of our friends at the podcast, Conscious Chatter. Earlier this year, host Kestrel Jenkins spoke with Dana Zhaxylykova. Dana is an environmental scientist and microplastics researcher, who's  originally from Kazakhstan and currently based in Germany. She uses Instagram to share practical and actionable tips about microplastics through a scientific lens.

Shakedown, 1979?  Nope, 2025! Everything old is new again this spring, and the usual crew of Kestrel, Cain, Kate, and Brandon take in a stacked season of new old shows! We've got a Gundam that quacks, we've got Anne Shirley being a red-head, parkour Lazarus, To Be Hero X, and so much more! Truly a season with something for everyone no matter what your tastes might be. Plus one highly anticipated bit of news and recommendations. What are you watching this season?

Ecora Resources PLC CEO Marc Bishop Lafleche takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's first quarter trading update and outlook for the rest of 2025. He described the start to the year as a “very solid” one, highlighting a portfolio contribution of $6 million, which notably excludes revenue from both Mimbula and Four Mile due to a reporting lag. Lafleche emphasised strong performance at Voisey's Bay underground and the achievement of a second consecutive quarterly record at Mantos Blancos. A major development during the period was the $50 million acquisition of Mimbula, which Lafleche said marks a strategic milestone. He reiterated that Voisey's Bay is on track for 60% to 90% volume growth following underground expansion, with full-year guidance between 335 to 390 tonnes, skewed towards the second half. Ecora is also seeing positive pricing momentum for cobalt, with April prices nearing $19 per pound**, up from $13 in Q1, following a DRC export ban. Looking ahead to Q2, the company expects the initial revenues from the dollar stream and normalisation of royalty income from Four Mile. Lafleche also noted the anticipated return of mining within the royalty area at Kestrel, leading to stronger volumes into Q3.

In Episode 329, Kestrel welcomes Jennine Jacob, a personal stylist and Instagram phenom, to the show. You may know Jennine from viral videos that explore the many layers of nuance connected to the power of finding your own style. “Anytime I see people quote unquote dressing for their body type, those outfits that look good, they can all be explained through style principles. The rule of thirds, contrast, proportion, texture, color theory. So why do we have to attach a value to a person's body shape when that's not even necessary? I really want to call into question why we use certain language because there's a lot of dismissal of visual language not just in fashion but also in the arts and architecture, and in the spaces that we move that have tremendous impact in how we navigate the world.” -Jennine MARCH THEME — PERSONAL STYLE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN *VANITY* This month, we're shifting the narrative a bit toward the conversation around style. I recently did a post on Instagram about why I post daily outfits and how it's not about vanity, and instead – it's about storytelling, sustainability and branding. It resonated so much with folks and made me feel optimistic amidst a time that can be pretty gloomy lately. I talked about the power of knowing the stories connected to your garments and how that storytelling can come through in the way you wear them. I talked about how when you have intimate connections with your garments, you tend to take care of them so they last longer. I talked about how identifying your personal style is a key part of building your brand, and honing in on the colors you consistently wear can play into determining or realizing your aligned visual identity.  I even mentioned the whole “fashion is frivolous” annoying narrative, and how it's totally ridiculous considering how much your clothing choices do actually truly matter. Turns out, that's one of the many topics we crack open with this week's guest.  “Is The Internet Messing With Your Style?”, IG reel Kestrel mentions “The Power Dynamics Of Comfort”, IG reel Kestrel mentions “Quiet Luxury Helps The Oligarchy”, IG reel Jennine mentions “Focus in on not just how you want to look, but what you want to say with your style, and why you want to say it.” (40:06) -Jennine Jennine's Website Follow Jennine on Instagram

In Episode 328, Kestrel welcomes Dana Zhaxylykova, an environmental scientist & microplastics researcher, to the show. Originally from Kazakhstan, Dana is currently based in Germany — through her Instagram platform, she shares practical and actionable tips about microplastics through a scientific lens. “As a scientist, I want to assure you that every little action in avoiding plastic, it can have an impact. And as scientists and as a scientific community, we expect people, not only the governments and corporations (they have a huge responsibility, of course), but we as people, we also can have an impact as individuals, we can help these problems to get solved faster.”-Dana This month, we're focusing on diverse ways to combat fast fashion. I don't know about you, but whenever I think of fast fashion, my brain automatically goes to issues around MICROPLASTICS. Considering that over 60% of global fiber production is synthetic materials – derived from fossil fuels – it's hard not to make that connection, especially given some of the intimate experiences I've had watching scientists from 5 Gyres literally collect microplastics from the water and air around us, and hear them talk about how so many of the microplastics they collect have come from fabric and clothing.  As this week's guest highlights, with nylon, polyester and acrylic fabrics flooding the fast fashion market, these fibers are actually releasing microplastics in every stage of the process – from production, to wearing the garments, to washing and drying them. Basically, there are microplastics being shed into our environment from every single stage of a fast fashion garment's lifecycle. That feels overwhelming, I know, but I love how this week's guest really puts things into perspective, not only from a scientific lens, but also from a practical hands-on point of view, offering us suggestions on the things we can actually control, when it comes to microplastics in our lives.  “Seasonal variation and removal of microplastics in a central Asian urban wastewater treatment plant”, Dana's research paper “Effect of microplastics deposition on human lung airways: A review with computational benefits and challenges”, paper Dana mentions “Environmental exposure to microplastics: an overview on possible human health effects”, paper Dana mentions “Effects of microplastic exposure on human digestive, reproductive, and respiratory health: a rapid systemic review”, paper Dana mentions “Polystyrene microplastics exacerbate systemic inflammation in high-fat diet-induced obesity”, paper Dana mentions

In Episode 327, Kestrel welcomes Sanchali Pal, founder and CEO of Commons, an app that rewards you for living and spending sustainably. On Commons' app, you can get rewarded for shopping sustainable brands and for taking climate actions like thrifting, taking public transportation or eating plant-based. “When people think about the actions they can take that are sustainable, the most obvious ones are things like flying less or recycling or eating more plant-based. People don't always think about their clothing habits, but I think that's really changing with the conversation around fast fashion. I mean, the fashion industry has a greater environmental impact than the airline industry. It's like two to three times as much, which is pretty crazy. And so it is really exciting to start to see that conversation happen and start to think through what part we can all play in shifting that industry together.” -Sanchali FEBRUARY THEME — DIVERSE WAYS TO COMBAT FAST FASHION This week's episode is brought to you in collaboration with Commons. As a cohost of their Anti Fast Fashion Challenge, I'm stoked to share more about how you can get involved to boycott (in many different ways) harmful fast fashion brands this month. While it can be challenging to fathom, especially being so deep within the sustainability and fashion conversation, fast fashion is booming. From the H&Ms and Zaras, to the more recent addition of ultra fast fashion brands like Shein and Temu, our culture is addicted to fast fashion. From the cheap prices to the convenience factor to the instant gratification, the allure of fast fashion is real. But as many of you know, buying fast fashion comes with an intense environmental and human impact.  Fast fashion aligns itself with disposability and waste, boasting crazy low prices. The materials are predominantly synthetic and often lose their shape after a couple washes. The synthetic materials shed loads of microplastics into the environment. Garment workers face exploitation and non-livable wages. All the while, social media and marketing continue to drive us to think we need another new piece of clothing to stay relevant. It's a lot. And that's why I am so excited for this conversation – and to be cohosting this month's Anti Fast Fashion Challenge. A way for us all to collectively come together to challenge that intense urge to buy another cheap item, and instead – not shop, mend something, get something tailored, shop secondhand, or invest in a brand that centers sustainability. “Our spending is the best data source we have on our emissions.” (14:26) -Sanchali “It Starts At Home?” — research Sanchali mentions on household spending Join The Anti Fast Fashion Challenge Commons Sustainable Spending Tool / Brand Ratings  How Commons Rates Brands  Commons Website Listen To The Second Nature Podcast Follow Commons on Instagram

In Episode 326, Kestrel welcomes Anna Bario, the cofounder of Bario Neal, to the show. Bario Neal creates stunning jewelry while being committed to respecting human rights and environmental sustainability. Anna cofounded the brand alongside Page Neal, in 2008, with an interest in bringing sustainability into the discourse surrounding creativity, fine jewelry and craft. An exceptional designer and also a specialist in responsible gold and gemstone sourcing, Anna's work in sustainable initiatives and social impacts defines the framework for Bario Neal's ethical jewelry roadmap. “I think [for] jewelry especially, the investment question becomes entangled with presentation … we also see that culturally come through jewelry trends. Just like in fashion, pant legs get shifted and there's so many ways we could interpret that as a reflection of the culture. And in jewelry, after the 2008 recession, jewelry got really small. Part of that was because of what people could afford, but also it was sort of like socially, what do we want to present?”-Anna JANUARY THEME — EXPLORING THE NUANCE AROUND INVESTMENT PIECES This episode is part of a partnership with Bario Neal. One of the pieces included in this collab was a redesign of my wedding and engagement rings. If you're wondering why I would redesign my wedding rings? They felt a little too traditional for my aesthetic, especially as I've matured, and also – the prong setting of the lab grown diamond just wasn't practical – it was always getting caught doing all the things connected to mom life. In this episode, we not only get an intimate look behind the scenes of what building an ethical jewelry roadmap means to Bario Neal, we also dive deeper into this month's theme of investment pieces.  One thing Anna brings up that is such an important and often left out layer of this discussion is how “investment” in the jewelry space can easily become entangled with the performance of economic resources and privilege. In jewelry, and other areas of fashion as well, this can mean the designs showcase a blatant reflection of the economic realities around us at any given time. For example, when the economy isn't doing well, often, jewelry trends will reflect that in favoring smaller stones and more quote unquote modest styles. And even if folks have the economic means to choose something with a higher price point or bigger stones, they may choose not to, based on what they feel comfortable presenting to the world in that moment of time. We unpack this and more in this special jewelry-focused episode.

In Episode 325, Kestrel welcomes Emily Fenves, the founder of lander line - a platform she created in September 2021 - after feeling burnt out with her own consumption habits. As a regular shopper, Emily found herself spending an exhaustive amount of time browsing, buying, returning, and purging. She embarked on a journey to learn more about the “why” behind her overconsumption, and decided to help others do the same. “I think a lot of people assume that investment pieces mean luxury. For me, specifically, I always think about – can I pass this down to my daughter? Investment pieces can be secondhand, too. Whether I'm shopping new or secondhand, I'm always asking myself that question – is this something I can pass down to her?” -Emily JANUARY THEME — EXPLORING THE NUANCE AROUND *INVESTMENT PIECES*  This month, we're going all in on – investment pieces. What does that really mean? Well, that's one of the aspects we unpack. But if you google around and start diving into the discussion online, you'll find a lot of people talking about things like: LONGEVITY, JUSTIFYING HIGHER TICKET ITEMS, HIGHER QUALITY, HIGHER COSTS, and EVERGREEN STYLES. We touch on cost per wear, the idea of fewer better things, and recommendations when you're searching for investment pieces.  It's also personal – so remember to take that into account as you listen to this week's guest. What you deem an investment piece may not necessarily be what someone else identifies as an investment piece – and to me, that's some of the fun of it. Speaking of this week's guest – she self identifies as a former overconsumer-turned-fair-fashion-advocate who loves secondhand and influencing others to quit fast fashion.

This is Fanzenshuu... Okay, that's not a thing. We may not be fusing with Kanzenshuu, but we wished upon the Dragon Balls to summon them for the task of discussing Akira Toriyama's legendary franchise as it hits 40 years strong. Between Toriyama's passing and the first new TV series in 9 years, this year has given us a lot to think about for this big anniversary. Kestrel is joined by Cain, Brandon for the first time in a while, and of course the respective founders of the highly detailed Dragon Ball fan sites that would fuse to become the all-encompassing Kanzenshuu. We cover the franchise as well as Kanzenshuu and its predecessors, and like any good battle in DBZ, it takes way longer than we expect.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 38-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,180 on turnover of $7.3-billion N-T. The market closed moderately higher on Wednesday as investors waited for the outcome of the U-S presidential election. The bellwether electronics sector once again acted a driver for the broader market, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in focus. Conscripts Test Domestically Made Portable Launchers A group of conscripts drafted following this year's lengthening of mandatory military service has fired domestically made portable (便於攜帶的) rocket launchers during a media event. The live-fire exercises took place at that Southern Taiwan Military Training Center in Tainan. Conscripts who spent several weeks training with man-portable shoulder-launched Kestrel and fired several rounds from the domestically built weapon system. Defense officials say most of the rockets hit targets some 200-meters away, however, one of the conscripts' launchers failed to fire due to a malfunction. The deputy commander of the training center says the launcher that failed to fire has been handed over the the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology for further examination. The conscripts were part of the first group that began their compulsory service earlier this year after the government extended military service for men to one year from the previous four months. US Trump Presidency for Supreme Court Looking ahead after the US election, Donald Trump's presidency could assure (保證) a conservative Supreme Court majority for decades AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports… Canada Orders TikTok Dissolution The Canadian government is ordering the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media app but said it won't block access (使用或看見某物的權利或機會). Canada's industry minister says it is meant to address risks related to ByteDance Ltd.'s establishment of TikTok Technology Canada Inc. TikTok is wildly popular with young people, but its Chinese ownership has raised fears that Beijing could use it to collect data on Western users or push pro-China narratives and misinformation. Amazon Deforestation Drops Amazon rainforest loss in Brazil dropped by one-third compared to the previous year, according to official monitoring. The statistics were announced Wednesday in Brazil's presidential palace, That is the lowest level of destruction in nine years. Moreover, deforestation in Brazil's vast savannah (稀樹草原) also decreased by 25.7%, the first decline in five years. The area destroyed reached 8,174 square kilometers. The results sharply contrast with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's predecessor, far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, who prioritized agribusiness expansion and weakened environmental agencies. Deforestation hit a 15-year high under his term. That was the I.C.R.T.

Episode 324, Kestrel welcomes Camille Forde, a mother and entrepreneur working at the intersection of business, sustainability, and community-centered solutions, to the show. With over a decade of experience, Camille has led corporate responsibility efforts at top professional services firms, earned an MBA from UC Berkeley with a focus on sustainable business, and spearheaded seller and brand partnerships at one of the largest fashion resale platforms. As a mother of two, Camille is deeply committed to building a more equitable and sustainable future that prioritizes community care. “Vulnerability, at least for me, it's a practice. It's not: you're vulnerable once, and then you're done. I've had to make being vulnerable a regular practice that I chase even though I don't want to all the time.” -Camille OCTOBER THEME — MAYBE VULNERABILITY IS WHAT FASHION REALLY NEEDS Last week, I got vulnerable. I shared a lot about my personal story over the last year – the challenges I've faced, personally with my health, professionally, financially, with continuing to push an independent media platform forward – I'd say I shared a lot in a short amount of time.  It blew me away to see the response – so many folks reached out, shared their personal challenges, and were vulnerable with me about things they've faced. I don't know – it felt like it opened a bit of a portal to somewhere new. To a more connected realm, where we could actually be honest with each other. A place where we could not only talk about transparency being important in supply chains and messaging, but also in our personal lives and realities.  It felt big. And I want to thank you for allowing that real emotion in, and sharing your own vulnerabilities – because as this week's guest reminds us, so often what we receive with vulnerability is GROWTH (not in production volume, but in ourselves). This episode is really about a lot of challenges I've faced, mental struggles I have grappled with, and questions I've asked myself while working at the intersections of caring for people and the planet, and caring for my own child.  When I was thinking about this episode idea as a way to build on this vulnerability discussion, one mom stood out immediately. I thought – I want to talk to Camille about this - it's who I want to hear from, who I want to learn from, and I just felt like she would have a lot of valuable insight into these crossovers.  Turns out, Camille went beyond. This episode is about sustainability, but not your typical approach to that conversation. It's about caring for yourself, for your family, for your community, while building things that center care. “The perfectionism and shaming that happens both in motherhood or just parenthood and the sustainability space — it's just beyond.” -Camille “The reality is we're not going to be perfect at any of it, but you know, if you're not careful, there's so much shame that can enter the conversation and really slow you down.” -Camille Camille's Website Follow Camille on Instagram

Episode 323 features Kestrel (just me!) in the first-ever solo episode of the show. With a primary focus on vulnerability, Kestrel shares some of the rollercoasters she has faced personally over the last year (from health to finances), why she and Nat are parting ways when it comes to regularly hosting the show, the true costs of producing a podcast, as well as a question on whether performative vulnerability is what we are seeing too often from the industry. “To all of you interested in sustainable fashion or those of you who work in the industry - I want to ask you a question: are you ok!?”-Kestrel OCTOBER THEME — MAYBE VULNERABILITY IS WHAT FASHION REALLY NEEDS As you can see, Nat is not here. It's super bittersweet, as doing the show hand-in-hand with someone I love, a best friend, and someone I admire deeply was truly magical. At the same time, realities happen, things shift, and sometimes what you anticipate doesn't actually work out in the end.  Being honest about the journey is, and always has been important to me. Nat is amazing as many of you already know. Moving forward, she won't be cohosting with me on a regular basis, but she will jump back in as a guest or cohost on the show on and off down the line.  I know this might be confusing for you since there have been a lot of shifts on and off throughout the year. First of all, thanks for sticking around, for caring deeply about the show, and believing in the potential power of change in the fashion space. This episode is all about vulnerability — I hope you can feel my hope to tear down some of the curtains that often separate us for connecting on a deeper level.  Here's what you'll hear from me: A bit about my person health stuff I've gone through over the last year Why it wasn't possible for Nat and I to continue co-hosting together - hint, hint: independent media is hard A little insider info on what it costs to run a podcast  Some musings on whether it's possible for the sustainable fashion / fashion realm as a whole to get vulnerable and what that could look like

"Over a period of 10 years we were able to rear in captivity 331 Kestrels that we released back into nature." In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith speaks with legendary conservationist Carl Jones about the island of Mauritius. Carl famously led efforts to save a variety of species. These included the Mauritius kestrel which was on the brink of going the way of the dodo, as well as a bunch of landscape-scale rewilding projects in Mauritius and its surrounding islets.Carl describes Mauritius as it must have been when Europeans first arrived on the island; forests of ebony, palm savannas grazed by herds of giant tortoises, dodos ambling down the beach to greet the new arrivals, and a cacophony of strange and marvellous bird and reptile species. Now, inspired by Carl, Mauritius seems set to begin rebuilding these natural treasures.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to environmentalists from all over the world who are working to help restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here. Let us know what you think of the podcast and if there are any rewilding projects you would love Ben to feature in future episodes.

Episode 322 features Nelson ZêPequéno, a Ghanaian-American Artist and the founder of Black Men With Gardens and Sustain Creative, alongside Cayetano Talavera, a fiber artist, zero waste fashion designer, and the creative force behind HECHO BY CAYE. Through ‘Black Men With Gardens', a digital and print publication, Nelson spotlights the connection Black and Brown communities cultivate with nature through agriculture and the arts. He further exploring cultural identity and environmental stewardship through his Los Angeles-based studio 'Sustain Creative', his current body of works offer a fresh perspective on sustainable contemporary design. Based in Los Angeles, Cayetano transforms foraged plants, homegrown flowers, insects, and even food waste into natural dyes, for his designs in the cocina de su mamá. His journey into the world of sustainable design was shaped by his humble upbringing, where he discovered the importance of resourcefulness and waste reduction. “Creativity is a way of looking at life differently, and by stepping outside of the way that we're seeing life or our own perceptions and experimenting, we're able to open up those new neural pathways and to reach these new places in life. For me specifically, I like to think that creativity is actually the solution not only to the mental health crisis that we're all dealing with, but to actually the sustainability challenges that we're facing. We need to embolden creativity in our culture and our communities so that people can look at the challenges that we have and come up with different ways of approaching it. We can't essentially just fix the problems that we face now with the same thought processes that led us here, and the only way to get outside of that actually is to be creative.” -Nelson “The rhythmic movement that comes from making a craft — I find it to be very therapeutic. Whether it's stirring a dye pot, painting strokes, I think also just the physical aspect that goes into being creative plays a role in ... it's almost like you get so into what you're creating that you kind of escape from your worries and anxieties for a bit. Once I start working, I totally forget whatever is going on around me, even if it's for a split second. I am always encouraging people to just be creative; and don't let the insecurities take over. I host natural dye workshops and a lot of adults tend to be like ‘but this isn't for me'; ‘my tie dye bandana is going to come out super ugly'. And I'm like "‘no, everyone's piece ends up looking really good and unique in their own way'. And so I think there's fear that comes from being creative and I think people need to get over that hurdle first.” - Cayetano MAY THEME — CONNECTING WITH NATURE TO UNVEIL WAYS TO REIMAGINE FUTURES Narratives today often separate humans from nature – think of statements like “we need to protect nature” as if we aren't a part of nature. But we are. Even though we often live and spend a lot of time inside buildings somewhat “separated” from nature, we are still intrinsically linked and woven into the natural world around us. As we have learned through so many of our guests this season, being connected to the world around us is not something new – it's something that has been cultivated by Black and Brown Indigenous communities across the world through culture and tradition and a reverence for the ecosystems that we as humans are a part of. This week's guests both interact with nature through their unique creative avenues – in very different yet overlapping ways. One works more directly with *fashion* through sewing and natural dyes, and the other not so directly with fashion but rather with plants and repurposing.  The myriad of ideas they share remind us of the many things we can learn from nature (when we slow down enough to listen).  What can fashion learn from nature to reimagine a better today and a more thoughtful tomorrow? Fashion folks, nature is calling, and it's time we tune in … Links from the conversation: Hecho By Caye Website Sustaining Creative Website Fast Fashion AD on SNL that Kestrel mentions Follow Nelson on Instagram Follow Black Men With Gardens on Instagram Follow Cayetano on Instagram
