Podcasts about Kiribati

Residents and students learn from others about original motivation, long-haul stamina, pearls and pitfalls of living in community, debt, vision for one’s next step to the nations, and helping the needy now tensioned with investing in education to help others later.

Have you longed to integrate your Christian faith into your patient care—on the mission field abroad, in your work in the US, and during your training? Are you not sure how to do this in a caring, ethical, sensitive, and relevant manner? This “working” session will explore the ethical basis for spiritual care and provide you with professional, timely, and proven practical methods to care for the whole person in the clinical setting. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qpah9kh1lttg6cm1jjop9/Bob-Mason-Ethics-of-Spiritual-Care-revised.pptx?rlkey=0emve2ja8282nv8xc4uinq1hg&st=9033htwx&dl=0

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

Medical missionaries often feel powerful emotional burden from moral injury, and it is a leading cause of departure from the mission field. But we have learned proven methods of preventing and dealing with moral injury. Use God’s powerful methods to protect yourself and your team, and to grow in wisdom and spirit!

Coming up first on Tagata o te Moana: Political leaders in Papua New Guinea vow to end gun violence. Four years on from the volcanic eruption in Tonga, mental scars remain. And the family of a Kiribati man washed away during the recent floods in Warkwarth New Zealand say they're grateful to all who helped search for him. All that and more stories of the week from RNZ Pacific.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Whether you’re a seasoned team member or preparing for your first trip, short-term mission trips have the potential to make a meaningful global impact. In this conversation, we’ll highlight five key principles that help ensure our efforts contribute to lasting, sustainable change in the communities we serve.

Heute besprechen wir die 27. Folge "Der magische Kristallsee" oder auch "Magico Kristallini". ---Helpibum! Eigentlich wollten Elea und Ravi nur ein bisschen Spaß haben – doch ein harmloser Streich hat ungeahnte Folgen. Kiribatis neu entwickelte Flugmaschine kracht ausgerechnet in den magischen Kristallsee! Die dort lebenden Aquirinis müssen umziehen. Als sie wegen der Entfernung zu ihrem Zuhause krank werden, bleibt Elea, Ravi und Zechy nur die Zusammenarbeit mit Kiribati.

pWotD Episode 3165: New Year's Eve Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 262,648 views on Wednesday, 31 December 2025 our article of the day is New Year's Eve.New Year's Eve in the Gregorian calendar refers to the evening—or commonly the entire day—of the last day of the year: 31 December. In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated with dancing, eating, drinking, and watching or lighting fireworks. Many Christians attend a watchnight service to mark the occasion. New Year's Eve celebrations generally continue into New Year's Day, 1 January, past midnight.The local time zone determines the advent of the New Year; the first places to welcome the New Year are west of the International Date Line: the Line Islands (part of Kiribati), Samoa and Tonga, in the Pacific Ocean. In contrast, American Samoa, Baker Island and Howland Island (part of the United States Minor Outlying Islands) are among the last.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:24 UTC on Thursday, 1 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see New Year's Eve on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

By the time the ball drops in Times Square tonight, the people of the Line Islands will be almost a full day into 2026. The islands are in the Pacific Ocean, south of Hawaii. But they’re just across the International Date Line. That makes the islands the first place to see the new year. The Date Line is needed because the time gets an hour earlier for every time zone west, and an hour later for every time zone east. Without a place to reset the date, time just wouldn’t make sense. The line mostly runs down the middle of the Pacific – half way around the globe from Greenwich, England, which is the starting point for the time system. But individual countries can set their own time zones. So the line zigzags between Alaska and Russia. And near the equator, it jumps more than a thousand miles to the east. That extension came three decades ago. The island nation of Kiribati changed its time zones. That made it easier for the country to do business with Australia, which is west of the Date Line. The country’s easternmost extension is the Line Islands. So the date changes there first – making the Line Islands the first places on Earth to ring in the new year. American Samoa is farther west than the Line Islands. But its time zone puts it on the opposite side of the Date Line – making it one of the last places to change the calendar.

Als de wereld plat was geweest, bungelden de beentjes van Kiribati over de rand. Als tijdzones je definitie zijn van het eind van de wereld, dan moet je hier zijn. Kiribati leeft in de toekomst, maar dat is een akelige realiteit. Niet alleen vieren de Kiribatiërs als eerste ter wereld nieuwjaarsdag, ze zijn ook de eersten die klimaatverandering als existentiële dreiging recht in de ogen kijken. Het maakt dwergstaat Kiribati relevant op wereldwijde schaal. Maar dit land weet wel hoe het is om in sommige gevallen heel klein, maar ook heel groot te zijn.

Within the next few decades, rising sea levels could wipe some small Pacific Island nations off the face of the earth. The prospect that the physical territory of countries such as Kiribati and Tuvalu is no longer habitable raises the prospect that their nationals could lose their citizenship, becoming stateless. It also poses profound questions for international law and the obligations of other countries. How likely is this possible outcome, and what can countries do to protect their sovereignty and their citizens? Join our discussion with Mark Nevitt, an international law scholar at the Emory University School of Law.

Like many women, Ruth Cross Kwansing spent a lot of time talking herself out of politics before eventually running in the Kiribati elections. She is now Minister for Women, Youth, Sports and Social Affairs. “It really is a better conversation when we have more balance in the voices available in developing solutions,” Ms Cross Kwansing says.  While the number of female politicians in the Pacific is still as low as just 8 per cent, there are more women putting their hands up to run.  The Autonomous Region of Bougainville saw a record number of women contest the 2025 elections, thanks in part to training run by Leitana Nehan Women's Development Agency.  In the lead up to the election, the organisation ran training sessions to women in Bougainville who were interested in running for politics.  In this episode, Sistas Let's Talk speaks to agency co-founder Helen Hakena, along with Ms Cross Kwansing. 

Steve sits down with Ambassador Joe Cella, former U.S. Ambassador to Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and Tuvalu (2019–2021), to discuss a major development in Michigan's economic and manufacturing landscape. They focus on the Blue Oval Project in Marshall and the state's recent decision to pull the plug on a controversial EV battery parts plant. Ambassador Cella explains the implications for jobs, local communities, and Michigan's position in the growing electric vehicle market, highlighting how policy decisions at both the state and federal level can shape the future of American manufacturing.

The Kiribati Project with Robert Kennedy, A look at the Canary in the Coal Mine Island through the eyes of Loyola University, Chicago, filmmakers

Host Ruxandra Guidi and the reporting team meet with descendants of climate refugees who arrived in the Solomon Islands in the 1960s from the atolls of Kiribati. This community, like many others across the Solomon Islands, continues to grapple with climate-fueled changes today. According to Alec Hughes, a coastal and marine management expert based in Munda, Solomon Islanders are witnessing changes in their local environment, and fish stocks that make it clear "that there's a lot more fishers out there and there's a lot of demand for fish.” Munda tribal chief John Pina shares Hughes's concern as he notes that he, too, is observing a shift away from the cultural norms and traditional practices that have shaped his community for centuries.

The International Date Line (IDL) is one of the weirdest things on the map—it's not a straight line at all! It zigzags to avoid splitting countries, islands, and even some communities into different days, which would be super confusing. Imagine one side of your house being a day ahead of the other! It mostly follows the 180° longitude line but takes big detours around places like Kiribati and Samoa so they can stay on the same date as their neighbors. This bending of the line makes it look strange, but it helps people in those areas keep their calendars in sync. Without the IDL, figuring out the time and date for travel, shipping, and even calling someone would be a chaotic mess. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Absolutely monumental episode this week with Sen conveniently transversing international waters come tax time. A man down, we've had to call in the big guns - Kush is back, Cuck or be Cucked is back but most importantly Kiribati is back. To kick the episode off, we have Kush giving us some more life updates since he last hopped on but now in HD audio. We hear about dapping ettiquette, splitting bills, interactive weddings & making new friends in America.One for the OGs, we have Kiribati - a game we haven't done since literally over 300 episodes ago. The game is simple, one of the boys throws out a person, place, thing or fact and the others have to say whether they know it or not as well as prove how they know it. The game is absolutely electric as all 3 boys whip out completely random knowledge about all sorts of things.Finally, we end with the segment you have all been asking for... Cuck or be Cucked (not sure if you wanted the whole segment, or just the theme song). In this segment, we run through stories for you, the CuckNation, where someone has been cucked (champ'd, alpha'd, one-upped, mugged off etc.), awarding Cuckatoos (patent pending) on how badly they've been cucked and offer advice on how to reverse the cuck. We have a wide variety of stories so strap in for this one.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES

Llega el penúltimo programa de 'Nómadas' y caemos en la cuenta de que hemos fracasado en nuestro empeño por describir el mundo. A pesar de llevar en antena 17 años, hay 41 países a los que no hemos dedicado un solo minuto de radio. Destinos complicados o inaccesibles; pequeños, peligrosos o simplemente apartados de las rutas turísticas.

An executive order from US president Donald Trump aimed at fast-tracking seabed mining is causing ripples in the Pacific region. Anti-deep sea mining advocates say the order likely risks Nauru's ambitions to mine in an area of the high seas known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Nauru alongside Tonga, Kiribati and Cook Islands, have special rights in the zone through the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and International Seabed Authority. Advocates warn Trump's order, and the behaviour of Canadian mining group The Metals Company, risk these, even though Nauru and Tonga are its partners. Teuila Fua-tai compiled this report.

In this first episode of a special two-part series, Waypoints heads to the heart of the Central Pacific to explore one of the most legendary destinations in saltwater fly fishing — Christmas Island. Host Jim Klug is joined by Bryant Dunn of Christmas Island Lodge for a deep dive into the rich history of the atoll, the evolution of its world-renowned fishery, and why this remote destination continues to captivate anglers from around the globe. Together, they unpack the fascinating backstory of Kiritimati — from its early Polynesian visitors and strategic wartime role to its emergence as a top-tier flyfishing hotspot.Listeners can expect an informative and detailed conversation that brings to life the story behind Christmas Island's rise as a must-visit destination. Bryant and Jim also share insights into the challenges and rewards of running an off-the-grid lodge operation, the role of fly fishing tourism for the local Kiribati economy, and what makes the Christmas Island experience truly unique. Whether you're planning your first trip to the famous atoll or simply dreaming of casting to bonefish and giant trevally on expansive Pacific flats, this episode sets the stage for an unforgettable look at one of fly fishing's most iconic locations (with  more to come in Part Two).Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.

From massive storms to green future vision: Laura and Elizabeth Streb explore South Australia's rapid shift from fossil fuels and the inspiring actions of local festivals and government leaders.This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!South Australia has become a global leader in green energy transition, getting off fossil fuels faster, and to a greater extent than almost any other country. How did they do it, and what can we learn from them? In this special report, Laura goes Down Under with her partner, Elizabeth Streb, and her extreme dance company, and discovers how the region's culture and its many world-class festivals have helped pave the way for transformation. Helping to unpack it all is a range of impressive guests, including Susan Close, deputy premier of South Australia; Anoté Tong, the former President of the Micronesian island, the Republic of Kiribati; Ruth Mackenzie, former Artistic Director of the Adelaide Festival, now Program Director of Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy within the South Australia state government; Rob Brookman, the co-founder of WOMADelaide, the capital's premier outdoor festival; MacArthur “Genius” Award winner, Elizabeth Streb and the action heroes of her company STREB — and a WHALE. As you'll hear, it's taken politics, policy, science and culture to shift public practice in this extreme-weather-vulnerable area. Over the last decade, South Australia has faced massive storms, brush fires, and extreme heat that have put people, wildlife, and even the festival at risk. Now South Australia is leading the way and using art to help people envision a green future, but they can't solve the climate crisis alone. In this Climate Week special, we ask, how can the rest of the world follow suit?“I'd say that WOMADelaide is creating a tiny version of the planet as you would like it to be . . . If you've listened to music from Iraq or if you've listened to music from Vietnam, or if you've listened to music from Palestine and Israel, it's more difficult to say those people, we don't understand them, so we can't deal with who they are.” - Rob Brookman, Director, WOMADelaide Foundation“We don't get exempted from climate change because we've got a green electricity grid . . . It is globally caused and has to be globally solved. So part of what we do is not to boast about what we've done, but to hope that our leadership will show others that you too can do this. Come and learn from us.” - Susan Close, Deputy Premier, South Australia“We've got the arguments, we can tell you the facts, but people don't feel it . . . [Artists] reach into your head, into your heart, they dig in and then they motivate you to action. And of course if you can also motivate the artist in every single child in South Australia, then we really have a force to change the world.” - Ruth Mackenzie, Program Director Arts, Culture & Creative Industries Policy, South Australia Government“For the [Adelaide] festival to go to young people and be like, ‘Hey, we want to hear from you. We want you to be a part of this. What works do you want to see? What works do you want to make and what do you want them to be about?', is something that doesn't happen very often . . . Hopefully it'll mean we can get more people involved.” - Caitlin Moore, Artist, Activist“The science doesn't seem to be making an impact no matter how precise. Maybe the hard facts of science do not ring a bell as much as the emotional language of the arts . . . Maybe the arts can put it in a way that it touches the hearts of your political leadership.” - President Anoté Tong, Former President, Republic of KiribatiGuests:• Rob Brookman: Co-Founder, WOMADelaide; Director, WOMADelaide Foundation• Susan Close: Deputy Premier, South Australia• Cassandre Joseph: STREB Co-Artistic Director & Action Hero• Ruth Mackenzie: Former Artistic Director, Adelaide Festival; Program Director Arts, Culture & Creative Industries Policy, South Australia Government• Caitlin Moore: Director of Create4Adelaide, Adelaide Festival• Elizabeth Streb: STREB Founder, Co-Artistic Director & Choreographer• Anoté Tong: Former President, Republic of Kiribati• Bart Van Peel: Chief Navigating Officer, Captain Boomer Collective Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country  Music Credit:  "Steppin" & "Curious Jungle" by Podington Bear.
