Meuterei, Mord, und dass man Papier zweiseitig beschreiben kann – davon handeln die Kapitel 3 bis 6 von Edgar Allan Poes Die Erzählung des Arthur Gordon Pym. Wir erfahren die Hintergründe von Augustus langer Abwesenheit und wie der Hund Tiger in den Frachtraum der Grampus gelangt ist. Nach einer Meuterei gegen Käpt'n Barnard (Wer heißt denn so?!) stehen sich die Gefolgschaft des Maats und die des Kochs verfeindet gegenüber. Wir sind gespannt, ob sich Arthur und sein Kumpel Augustus einer der Parteien anschließen werden. Oder hält das Schicksal einen anderen Ausweg für sie bereit? Wir wünschen euch wie immer viel Spaß mit der Folge! --- In der nächsten Folge geht es weiter mit den Kapiteln 7 bis 10 von Die Erzählung des Arthur Gordon Pym von Edgar Allan Poe.

Paula Bründl und Sebastian Kreuzer teilen nicht nur ihren Geburtstag miteinander, sondern auch die Leidenschaft für gute Lebensmittel, wie gut gereiftem Käse. Damit zaubern die jungen Köche einen herzhaften Bauerntoast, der seinesgleichen sucht. Ist genug Salz dran? Braucht es noch einen Schuss Rum? Auch das sind wichtige Fragen beim Kochen. Für die Pinzgauerin Paula Bründl geht es dabei aber um noch viel mehr. Nämlich darum, welche Zutaten das Leben besonders gschmackig machen. Wir zeigen, wie glücklich manchmal die einfachsten Gerichte machen können. Sebastian Kreuzer wusste schon früh, dass er später einmal Koch werden wollte. Nach seiner Lehrzeit, unter anderem bei Rudi Obauer in Werfen, zog es ihn hoch hinauf, auf Schweizer und Vorarlberger Almen – und zuletzt auf die Kaseggeralm zu Hause in Großarl. Da hat ihn auch Paula Bründl für ServusTV besucht. „Paula kocht im Salzburger Land“ gibt es am 21. März um 21.10 Uhr bei ServusTV und bei ServusTV On zu sehen. Für den Servus Küche-Podcast war Paula auf dem Hof des jungen leidenschaftlichen Kochs zu Gast und hat mit ihm einen unfassbar köstlichen Bauerntoast zubereitet. Außerdem sprechen sie darüber, was man vom Alltag auf der Alm fürs Leben lernen kann – und wie einen das reifen lässt. Zum Artikel mit Rezept: https://www.servus.com/a/pc/podcast-paula-bruendl-sebastian-kreuzer-reife Ihr hört: Paula Bründl wollte eigentlich Neurowissenschaftlerin werden. Jetzt ist sie Köchin. Vor drei Jahren hat die 24-jährige Pinzgauerin nämlich an einer deutschen Kochsendung teilgenommen – und überraschend gewonnen. Noch überraschender hat sie dabei ihre Erfüllung im Kochen gefunden und sich kurzerhand für eine Lehre entschieden. Sie wollte das Handwerk immerhin „gscheit lernen“. Und das hat sie: Ihre Begeisterung für regionale Produkte, die österreichische Küche und vor allem dafür, das Gute im Einfachen und Naheliegenden zu finden, hat auch uns überzeugt. ServusTV-Empfehlung: „Paula kocht – Heimatküche Südtirol“ bei ServusTV On anschauen! Falls Sie mit Paula gemeinsam kochen wollen, dann legen wir Ihnen die Servus-Akademie im schönen Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee ans Herz. Für den Kurs am 18. Juni 2025 gibt es noch freie Plätze!

2022 schaffte es die Kochlehre noch in die Top 10 der Berufe, in welchen junge Menschen in der Schweiz eine Lehre starteten. Seither nicht mehr. Ist der Beruf heute nicht mehr so attraktiv wie früher?

Combuchont, „nature based cuisine“, Mikrosaisonalität – das sind nur einige der Begriffe, die man mit Klemens Gold verbindet. In seinem 2018 eröffneten Restaurant Rau zelebriert der gebürtige Oberösterreicher seine meditative Nähe zur Natur, verfolgt sie jeden Tags aufs Neue mit den Augen eines Kochs, der sie als Basis seines Handwerks versteht. Als Ein-Mann-Armee hat sich Gold – dank eigener Anbauflächen und obsessiver Zusammenarbeit mit Landwirtinnen und Landwirten der Region – vier Hauben im Gault-Millau und einen Stern (plus einen grünen) im Guide Michelin erkocht – und so ganz nebenbei, im selben Gebäude, auch noch die weltweit (!) erste Teekellerei gegründet. Was das alles genau bedeutet, darüber spricht Klemens Gold ausführlich im großen Podcast. Außerdem gibt er exklusive Hintergrundinfos preis, wie es zur Rückkehr des Guide Michelins kam und verrät, warum Vereinigungen wie der Koch.Campus – wo diese Woche Wintergemüse verkostet wurde – so entscheidend für seine Arbeit sind. https://www.im-rau.com/ Die spannendsten Gastro-News, die aktuelle Ausgabe von Rolling Pin und die besten Jobs der Branche: www.rollingpin.com Alles über die Rolling Pin.Conventions -> www.rollingpinconvention.com Unbedingt anhören! www.rollingpin.com/podcast

Beeindruckend, was dieser Mann aus seinem Leben gemacht hat: In Ghana geboren, mit 3 Jahren zu Pflegeeltern nach Stuttgart gekommen, Handball in der süddeutschen Juniorenauswahl gespielt, leidenschaftlicher Musiker und durch ein Schülerpraktikum in der Profiküche für den Beruf des Kochs entschieden. Nach Top-Stationen bei Sterneköchen übernahm Nelson Müller 2009 das Restaurant Schote in Essen, wo sein bodenständige Küchenstil seit 2011 mit einem Michelin-Stern ausgezeichnet wird. Auftritte in diversen TV-Formaten machten den 45-Jährigen berühmt. Anlässlich des 38. Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festivals kochte Nelson Müller im Januar im Neumitglied StrandGut Resort in St. Peter-Ording auf und gab dabei mit der Jim Rockford Band auch eine musikalische Souleinlage zum Besten. In der 79. Episode spricht der reflektierte Sternekoch über seinen neuesten Coup als Betreiber des Relais & Châteaux Hotels Diepeschrather Mühle in Bergisch Gladbach, seine Liebe zur Nordsee, was die ehemaligen Chefs Holger Bodendorf, Henri Bach und Lutz Niemann ihm bedeuten, was Kochen und Musik gemeinsam haben und wieso die Nutzung ausländischer Produkte auch nachhaltig sein kann. Diese Podcast-Episode gibt interessante Einblicke in eine imposante Unternehmer-Karriere!

Host Boris Rogosch lädt acht Koch-Auszubildende aus renommierten Restaurants ein, um über ihre Erfahrungen, Herausforderungen und Zukunftspläne zu sprechen. Diese Gespräche geben spannende Einblicke in die Welt der Azubis, die mit Leidenschaft und Ehrgeiz ihren Weg in der Gastronomie gehen. Von ersten Kochträumen über die Lehrjahre bis hin zu großen Visionen zeigt die Episode, wie vielfältig und inspirierend der Beruf des Kochs sein kann. Die angehenden Köche erzählen, wann sie den Entschluss fassten, ihre Leidenschaft fürs Kochen zum Beruf zu machen. Für manche war es ein Kindheitstraum, andere entdeckten ihre Liebe zur Kulinarik erst später. Besonders spannend ist die Frage, wie sie ihre Ausbildung erleben, welche Herausforderungen sich ergeben und ob sie den viel zitierten Druck in der Küche erleben. Welches sind Highlights in ihrer Ausbildung, was kann die Berufsschule vermitteln und hat sich ihr Leben durch die Ausbildung verändert. So berichten einige, dass sie jetzt organisierter und stressresistenter sind, und einige sagen, dass sich auch ihr Blick auf Lebensmittel und Nachhaltigkeit stark gewandelt hat. Zu Gast sind: Anton Hübner, Restaurant Jellyfish Website: https://www.jellyfish-restaurant.de Felix Hinze, Restaurant Hygge Website: https://www.hygge-hamburg.de Jon Callsen, Hobenköök Website: https://www.hobenkoeoek.de Marc Browarzik, Kai3 im Budersand Hotel Sylt Website: https://www.budersand.de Paul Rubner & Tim Stobbe, Restaurant Das Wolfsjunge Website: https://www.wolfsjunge.de Leo Lorenzen, Gutsküche auf Gut Wulksfelde Website: https://www.gutskueche.de Rasmus Wilke, Kitchens im PIERDREI Hotel Website: https://www.pierdrei-hotel.de Im Gespräch erfahren wir, worauf sich die jungen Talente spezialisieren wollen. Ob Fine Dining, nachhaltige Küche oder kreative Menüs – die Interessen sind ebenso vielfältig wie die Persönlichkeiten der Azubis. Die Nachwuchsköche erzählen von kleinen und großen Erfolgen, intensiven Herausforderungen und den Momenten, die sie bestärken, ihren Weg weiterzugehen. Spannend auch die Zukunftspläne der Gäste. Viele träumen davon, eines Tages ihr eigenes Restaurant zu eröffnen, andere möchten zunächst die Welt bereisen, um internationale Küchentraditionen kennenzulernen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die nächste Generation der Gastronomie nicht nur talentiert, sondern auch ambitioniert ist. Sie wollen nicht nur Kochen, sondern selber neue Maßstäbe setzen. Die Episode bietet eine sehr interessante Perspektive auf die Köche von morgen und zeigt, warum der Beruf des Kochs so viel mehr ist als nur ein Handwerk. Die persönlichen Geschichten der Gäste motivieren nicht nur junge Menschen, die von einer Karriere in der Gastronomie träumen, sondern auch alle, die die Leidenschaft fürs Kochen teilen. Hört rein und lasst euch von den Geschichten, Visionen und Erfahrungen dieser acht Nachwuchstalente inspirieren!

Um auf Wein „zukochen“ zu können, muss man Wein verstehen. Um auf Wein hinzu kochen zu können, muss man Wein interpretieren können. Um für Wein kochen zu können, muss man kreativer denken als der Wein es vorgibt. Um Wein mit seinen Gerichten spiegeln, untermalen, fordern oder gar ebnen zu können, muss man als Koch sein Ego komplett dezimieren und sich in den Dienst des Weines stellen. Und man kann sich kaum vorstellen, wie hochintellektuell man hier agieren, wie intelligent man kreieren und wie weitsichtig man inszenieren muss. Die allerhöchste Kochkunst dabei ist, eine immer noch eigenständige und faszinierende Küche zu bieten, die gleichermaßen modern wie traditionell ist – ein Genuss, der Herz und Seele berührt. Genau das beherrscht, wie kaum ein anderer in Deutschland, Hans Stefan Steinheuer. Er ist nicht nur eine Koryphäe, ein Lehrmeister und ein Vorbild für jeden Sommelier – er ist auch ein Brückenbauer zwischen Genuss und Gefühl, zwischen Winzern und Köchen, zwischen Tradition und Innovation. Seine Gerichte sind wie perfekt komponierte Reisen durch die Welt des Weines, die sowohl die Leidenschaft des Winzers als auch die Hingabe des Kochs widerspiegeln. In seinem Restaurant wird nicht einfach nur gegessen und getrunken. Hier wird gelebt, geliebt, gelacht – es ist ein Lifestyle, der sowohl das Herz als auch den Verstand anspricht. Jede Flasche Wein, die dort geöffnet wird, erzählt ihre eigene Geschichte, wird Teil einer Beziehung zwischen Küche und Keller, zwischen Gast und Gastgeber. Hans Stefan Steinheuer versteht es, diese Beziehung mit Leben zu füllen, sie zu einer Bühne für große Emotionen und unvergessliche Erlebnisse zu machen. Mit unermüdlichem Engagement und einem unfassbaren lexikarischen Wissen prägt er die Branche. Er zeigt, dass Wein nicht nur ein Getränk ist, sondern ein Ausdruck von Kultur, von Liebe und von Respekt. Sein Wirken hat eine Dimension, die weit über das Kochen hinausgeht – er ist ein Visionär, ein Inspirator und jemand, der beweist, dass wahre Größe nichts mit Geld, sondern mit Leidenschaft zu tun hat. Die gesamte Branche müsste ihm ein Denkmal setzen – für sein unermüdliches Schaffen, für seine Bereitschaft, Wissen und Inspiration zu teilen, und für seine Kunst, Genuss und Business, Modernität und Tradition, Herz und Verstand so mühelos miteinander zu verbinden. Einfach Danke, Herr Steinheuer, für diese außergewöhnliche Reise in die Welt des Weines.

Wie ist eigentlich der Stand beim Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur für Elektromobilität in Deutschland? Kommen wir voran oder hinken wir hinterher? Und welche langfristigen Auswirkungen wird der Ausbau auf die Gestaltung unserer Städte von morgen haben? In einer neuen Folge des „PB3C RealTalk“ sprechen die Experten Stefanie Kochs von APCOA Deutschland und Marco Albrecht von Drees & Sommer über den Stand der Dinge, was sich ändern muss, aber auch darüber, was beim Ausbau der Infrastruktur für Elektromobilität schon gut läuft. Im besonderen Blickpunkt der Diskussion steht die neue Rolle von Parkhäusern und Tiefgaragen, die in zentralen Lagen der Innenstädte als Lade-Hubs dienen können und damit zu einem entscheidenden Schlüssel für die Mobilitätswende werden.

Endlich mal wieder ein Sternekoch! Mein heutiger Gast bestand die Abschlussprüfung seiner Kochlehre mit einer glatten Eins. Es folgte ein Begabtenstipendium und eine unvergleichliche Karriere in der sogenannten „gehobenen Gastronomie“. Ali Güngörmüş kam 1976 in Ost-Anatolien zur Welt. 2 Betten gab's für die 7 Kinder auf dem kleinen Bauernhof im Hochland. Fließend Wasser gab's einen Kilometer entfernt, eine offene Feuerstelle diente als Ofen und die Butter wurde in Tonkrügen in der Erde kühl gehalten. Im Winter 1986 kommt die Familie nach Deutschland und des Vaters Parole: „Lernt! Macht was aus Eurem Leben“ wurde von Ali letztlich beherzigt. Heute gehört er, auch medial, zu den erfolgreichsten Köchen des Landes, ist neugierig geblieben und wach - mit nur 5 Stunden Schlaf pro Nacht. Wir sprechen über Feuerkartoffeln, Frühstück und Fladenbrot, natürlich über den Beruf des Kochs, über Heuschreckenplagen, Kindheitserinnerungen, Döner und vieles mehr. Aber zuerst einmal rutschen wir zum Thema „Toast Hawaii“ gleich schon mal lachend in unser Gespräch hinein. Viel Vergnügen! *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt.

This week, Remoy and Samantha debrief the election. After having hope following the PEW findings from the last episode, they try to understand how the election turned out the way it did.The obvious has to be put out there: Kamala Harris's loss has strong racist and sexist undertones.Given most Trump voters cited the economy as the reason why, Samantha talks through Joe Biden's approach as well.Many factors contributed to the state of the economy, including—ahem—COVID, the effects of which we're still feeling now.What's going on with inflation? Samantha gives us high-level notes on COVID-19 led to the worst inflation we've seen.Trump voters may not have known all this, because news sources have changed substantially in recent years.Remoy takes us through the new news landscape.YouTube and Facebook are heavy on Americans' news rotation, many more Americans than you might think get their news from these sources.Not to mention the manosphere speaking directly to men as guests like Donald Trump give them clout while connecting to their fanbase.How can so many Americans fall for these things? Education has been meddled with in so many states.Samantha gives a crash course on the billionaire Koch brothers and their education goals.She delves into the allies that have helped them get there and how they use government and money to undermine public education.Did you know they are longtime associates of Betsy DeVos and her family? Samantha gets into their collaboration instituting the voucher system in states around the country.The Koch have a particular vision for the world they want to see and meddling with American education is their pathway.Trump has now started naming his cabinet, and back in 2016, many of his potential cabinet picks were from the Kochs' network of donors.Remoy reminds us how men's education has plateaued in the US, and how this helps disinform them.The notion of school choice has been a conservative strategy to destabilize public education, reallocating funds to give parents accounts.They end on a note of hope.Join Samantha and Remoy at the Next Gen Men Pathways event. They'll be answering questions about MASKulinity and the election for Next Gen Men's new initiative and reflecting on what's to come.

Let's examine the raw, pulsating heart of today's governance crises. Populist movements, those so-called 'disruptors' of the status quo, aren't just random eruptions of public discontent; they are the inevitable backlash against a political system that has blatantly failed to deliver. These movements, feeding off fear and division, highlight not just a crack but a chasm in public trust—a gap so wide that it beckons the question: Is this chaos orchestrated or merely the clumsy stumble toward a new oligarchy dressed in technocratic garb?Consider this: as democracy flounders, gasping for relevance, are we not witnessing the stage being set for a technocratic takeover? Imagine a future where your 'vote' is as impactful as a 'like' on a corporate executive's latest policy tweet. Here, industry titans and seasoned politicians merge into a hybrid beast, promising efficiency but at the cost of what? Your voice, your choice, your democracy.Technocracy, cloaked in the allure of expertise and efficiency, promises to solve problems with the precision of a surgeon. But let's not be naive. This isn't about solving problems; it's about control. If you appreciate my articles, please consider giving them a like. It's a simple gesture that doesn't cost you anything, but it goes a long way in promoting this post, combating censorship, and fighting the issues that you are apparently not a big fan of.When the U.S. flirted with the idea through its Manufacturing Jobs Initiative, it wasn't just about gaining insights; it was a test run for a governance model where decisions are made in boardrooms, not ballot boxes. Here, the 'scientific method' becomes a pretext for autocracy, where decisions are as sterile and devoid of human touch as an algorithm.The technocratic ethos assumes that those at the top, these so-called experts, will act in the public's interest. But history scoffs at this notion. Look at the Chinese Communist Party, a prime specimen of technocratic rule. Efficient? Undoubtedly. But at what cost? Freedom, dissent, and individuality are squashed under the guise of unity and progress. Here's where the cynicism kicks in: if efficiency is the measure of success, then perhaps we should all aspire to be as 'successful' as drones in a hive.And then there's Singapore, often paraded as the poster child of technocracy. Yes, it's clean, it's rich, it's advanced. But peel back the layers, and what do you find? A society where the richness of public debate is supplanted by the sterility of imposed consensus. Here, the government acts more like a corporate entity, where public opinion is a mere formality, not a foundation.A Lily Bit is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Here we are, in the shadow of the Great Depression's echoes, where the idea of technocracy first found fertile ground. Fast forward to today, and we're not just flirting with technocracy; we're on the brink of marrying it, driven by the same disillusionment with political ineptitude. But let's not be romantics about this union.The historical allure of technocracy, this notion of replacing bumbling politicians with the crisp efficiency of scientists and engineers, always surges back like a bad habit during times of crisis. But think about it: are we genuinely considering handing over the reins of power to the Zuckerbergs and Musks of the world because our current leaders can't pass legislation without turning it into a circus?Let's dissect this with a critical eye. The Kochs and Zuckerbergs of our era, through their opaque LLCs and boundless funds, are not just whispering in the ears of politicians; they're practically writing the script. This isn't just influence; it's a soft coup by the technocratic elite, bypassing the democratic process under the guise of 'efficiency' and 'problem-solving'.Now, consider the implications: when we turn to the private sector, to these titans of industry, for governance, what are we really asking for? Efficiency, yes, but at what cost? Democracy thrives on debate, diversity, and sometimes, delightful chaos. Technocracy, on the other hand, operates on algorithms and bottom lines. When Elon Musk proposes a solution, it's brilliant, it's sleek, but politics isn't just about solutions; it's about consensus, about navigating the human messiness that no AI or algorithm can fully comprehend or manage.Here's where the economic theory bites back: in a technocracy, decisions are economic, not political. They're about optimizing resources, not optimizing human welfare. When industry leaders step into governance, their solutions might look great on a profit and loss statement but could very well ignore the nuanced needs of a diverse populace.And let's inject some cynicism here: these technocrats, with their tech empires and billion-dollar initiatives, aren't just playing at policy-making; they're potentially crafting a world where their economic dominance translates into political power. Are we ready to live in a society where the boardroom decisions of a few dictate the daily lives of the many?Technocracy is a fundamentally different beast, one that could very well chew up the principles of representation and spit out a streamlined, but soulless, corporate governance model. Are we prepared to make this trade, or should we fight to fix the democratic flaws that make technocracy seem like an appealing escape route?The skepticism towards technocracy isn't just about fearing change but about recognizing patterns that could lead to an unprecedented consolidation of power. The idea that technocracy could strip away private property under the guise of efficiency or economic management isn't just a theoretical fear; it's rooted in historical examples where central control over economic resources led to significant curtailment of individual freedoms. The Trilateral Commission, with its focus on policy integration across continents, does indeed present a facade of enhancing democratic governance, yet its approach to 'managing' democracy by suggesting a reduction in its excess can be seen as a move towards more autocratic control.Let's delve into the implications of this technocratic shift:* Economic Control: If technocrats decide the distribution of resources, what happens to entrepreneurship, innovation, or even personal ambition? The notion of universal basic income, while on the surface provides security, could also be viewed as a tool for control. When your basic needs are met by the system, how freely can you oppose it?* Surveillance and Data: The scenario where companies like Google or Amazon become integral to daily life isn't just about convenience; it's about surveillance. The data they collect could theoretically be used to predict, influence, and control behavior. Here, technocracy doesn't just govern; it monitors, predicts, and potentially manipulates.* Political Puppetry: The notion that politicians might already be "useful idiots" in a technocratic system where decisions are made by unelected experts or corporate entities challenges the very core of representative democracy. If true, then elections become mere formalities, not expressions of public will but validations of pre-selected choices by technocratic elites.This creeping technocracy, where technology companies and unelected bodies potentially hold more sway over daily life than elected officials, does paint a picture of a new world order. It's a world where efficiency and technological advancement might come at the cost of privacy, freedom, and democratic participation.Thanks for reading A Lily Bit! This post is public so feel free to share it.The critical question then becomes: Are we, as a society, willing to trade the messiness of democracy for the streamlined, yet potentially soulless, efficiency of technocracy? Or can we find a balance where technology serves humanity without governing it, where innovation thrives alongside privacy and individual rights? This debate isn't just for conspiracy theorists but for anyone concerned with the future trajectory of global governance.How you can support my writing:* Restack, like and share this post via email, text, and social media* Tip me a bug-free meal with Ko-Fi* Buy a discount subscriptionThank you; your support keeps me writing and helps me pay the bills.

Jamie Olivers Synchronsprecher sollte euch nicht nur durch seine diversen Kochsendungen bekannt vorkommen. Wir verraten euch, woher ihr die Stimme des Fernsehkochs noch kennt.

NAR WATCH: a monthly episode on the New Apostolic Reformation with Dr. Matthew Taylor debuts on the SWAJ feed THIS week.

But as McConahay details, that's just the tip of the iceberg. In an investigation reminiscent of Jane Mayer's Dark Money, she uncovers an ominous and long-term political strategy of attacking secular, liberal democracy by waging war on democratic norms and institutions. Playing God was chosen by the New Yorker as one of the books helping to make sense of the current political moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Antenne-Brandenburg-Moderator Olaf Kosert ist diesmal auf einem Bauernhof, der sich schon seit 300 Jahren in Familienbesitz befindet – bei Familie Koch in Großmutz. Der jüngste Sohn Jonathan hat hier mit viel Liebe einen Hühnerverleih aufgebaut und kann sich vor Anfragen kaum retten: Zu seinen Kunden gehören Familien, Kindergärten oder Altenheime. Hühnern beim Scharren zuzuschauen, kann sehr lehrreich und beruhigend sein. Außerdem gibt’s jeden Morgen frische Frühstückseier. Neben den Hühnern halten die Kochs auch eine große Rinderherde und bieten im Hofladen Rouladen, Tafelspitz, Gulasch und selbstgemachte Wurst an. Olaf kocht für die Familie ein würziges „Asia Beef“, und dazu gibt’s ein Glas frischgezapftes Hofbier.

This is a good one, we promise. Join us as we dive into what the Kochs believe, the actions they've taken and the impact of those actions on the United States as a whole Peep the sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGnCfokc4zBjsR99oxJAIU-bkfFEklkZ7hoTOeY6avE/edit?usp=sharing Peep our subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/profiteersvsthepeople/

This explosive episode of "Busted Pencils" confronts the pernicious influence of Charles and David Koch on the American public education system through their organization, "Americans for Prosperity" Despite their name, their interests are in anything BUT prosperity for all Americans. With their deep pockets and right-wing ideology, the Koch brothers have embarked on a relentless campaign to dismantle public schooling, favoring a future where education serves the interests of profit over people. Hosts Dr. Tim Slekar and Dr. Johnny Lupinacci peel back the layers of this orchestrated attack, revealing how the Koch network has used its vast resources to promote charter schools, voucher programs, and a market-driven model of education that starkly undermines the principles of equity and democracy. Listeners are guided through the intricate maze of the Kochs' strategic investments in political advocacy, policy formulation, and public opinion manipulation, showcasing the wide-reaching consequences of their actions for students, teachers, and communities. The episode not only critiques the Kochs' agenda but also highlights the broader right-wing movement's efforts to privatize public goods, spotlighting the insidious trend toward commodifying education.

In this one, we take a look at the Koch Empire's rise and dig into some of the scandals that the company has weathered.

Wer gesund essen will, dem wird gerne die mediterrane Diät empfohlen: Heisst: Viel saisonales und regionales Gemüse und Früchte, wenig Fisch und wenig Fleisch. Doch was tun, wenn die Auswahl im Winter klein ist? Klar, mit dem Kochen, was an regionalen Produkten erhältlich ist. Mit Rotkohl zum Beispiel, Rüebli, einer feinen Lagerbirne und gepickelten Zwiebeln. SRF 1- Foodredaktorin hat sich von einem Rezept des britischen Kochs und Kochbuchautors Nigel Slater inspirieren lassen und zeigt, wie man Wintergemüsen nach den Vorgaben der mediterranen Diät fein und gesund kochen kann.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL radio host Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Nikki Haley is getting backlash for leaving out slavery as a cause for the Civil War while at a campaign event in New Hampshire. Instead of destroying her like they would to Trump or DeSantis, the Democrat media is protecting Haley because the left is propping her up just like the GOP Establishment and the Kochs. The Bush Establishment has decided that they cannot defeat Trump and are now going to do whatever they can do to push Haley as the Trump alternative. Also, the Secretary of State of Maine has now decided to remove Donald Trump from the ballot just like Colorado, citing insurrection as the reason as well. This is exactly why we need the Supreme Court to take on this case and make a ruling in order to stop this judicial whack-a-mole because this is now a crisis. Meanwhile, Jack Smith is using his unlimited power to make Trump a political prisoner and interfere in the 2024 election. The endgame for Democrats is to keep Trump off the ballot one way or another and clear the path for Joe Biden or whoever the Democrat nominee will be. Not a single person arrested from January 6 has been charged with insurrection, but according to Democrat logic, Trump is guilty of leading an insurrection without ever being charged with insurrection either.

Viki Harrison is Director of Constitutional Convention and Protecting Dissent Programs of Common Cause, and will help us understand what is going on vis-a-vis the right-wing plan to adopt a national Article V Convention. This a plan funded by millions of dollars in right-wing dark money from the likes of the Kochs and Mercers. Their endgame is to give megadonors and corporations free rein to radically reshape our Constitution, against the will of the people, by writing far-right policy goals directly into the Constitution, while gutting rights like free speech, the right to protest, and the right to privacy.

Ein Beef Club bietet vegetarische Menüs an und ein ehemaliger Veggie-Agnostiker spricht auf einmal verliebt von Dry Aged Gemüse. Ist das der große Wandel in der Gastronomie? Oder zeigt Frank Heller uns allen, dass der Mensch nun mal ein sehr anpassungsfähiges Tier ist und uns unser Geschwätz von Gestern manchmal auch nicht mehr interessieren muss. Der Beruf des Kochs ist so vielfältig wie wandelbar und all das, kommt in unserem heutigen Gespräch hervorragend zur Geltung. Natürlich findet man im BA Beef Club in Nürnberg auch, wie der Name schon sagt, feinstes Fleisch und ein fabelhaftes Menü vor. Zudem eine herrliche Weinbegleitung, welche ich nur wenige Tage vor unserem Gespräch genießen durfte. Noch ganz warm ums Herz von diesem schönen Abend steckt in diesem Gespräch also viel Liebe und Philosophie über Fleisch, Gemüse, regionale Produkte sowie den Beruf des Kochs im Jahr 2022.FETT & Rauchig findest du auch auf INSTAGRAM: fettundrauchigWer FETT & Rauchig unterstützen möchte, der kann das hier tun! https://www.patreon.com/fettundrauchigIch freue mich außerdem sehr, wenn ihr den Podcast bei iTunes und Spotify bewertet und auch, wenn ihr euren Freunden, Kollegen oder sogar euren Feinden von Fett & Rauchig erzählt!Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Heute im Podcast: Balagan! Sympathisches Chaos! Genau so bezeichnet Haya Molcho, das nächste kreative Kulinarik-Mastermind - in Fietes Fängen - ihre Küche. Diese unkonventionelle, starke Wahl-Wienerin aus Tel Aviv mit rumänischen Wurzeln bringt nicht nur Intensität und Explosivität mit ins Studio, sondern verleiht Fiete Gastro durch ihre kulturelle Vielfältigkeit einen ganz neuen Geschmack. Eine Frau, die für gute Zutaten sogar in gefährliche besetzte Gebiete fährt und die einfach mal so mit pürierten Kichererbsen die deutsche und österreichische Kulinarik revolutioniert und damit ein zuvor nicht existentes Bedürfnis geschaffen hat. Wie können wir fördern, dass der Beruf des Kochs und der Köchin weniger familienfeindlich vor sich hin brodelt und dafür mit mehr Diversität beträufelt wird? Werden in der Gastronomie Ruhetage oder eine Vier-Tage-Woche die Arbeitswelt verändern? Was genau macht die Levante-Küche aus und was - in Fietes Namen - ist das Geheimrezept von Hayas unübertrefflichem NENI-Hummus?Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Why is so much right-wing money being funnelled at such a furious pace into universities across the US? Libertarian-minded billionaires like the Kochs and their partners have funded scholars and think tanks across the US, and similar things go on in Canada too. The money shows us that the right spends it because they care about education, for their own ideological reasons - and universities are all too happy to sell out. For today's episode on the politics of education, we look at how big money seeks to corrupt academic freedom and integrity - and how campus activists are fighting to un-Koch their schools.

Why is so much right-wing money being funnelled at such a furious pace into universities across the US? Libertarian-minded billionaires like the Kochs and their partners have funded scholars and think tanks across the US, and similar things go on in Canada too. The money shows us that the right spends it because they care about education, for their own ideological reasons - and universities are all too happy to sell out. For today's episode on the politics of education, we look at how big money seeks to corrupt academic freedom and integrity - and how campus activists are fighting to un-Koch their schools. This is another instalment of our Darts and Letters summer programming here on the New Books Network. We'll be launching brand-new episodes starting on September 18th. Until then, tune in to our favourite past episodes - each week is a new theme! ——————-FURTHER READING AND LISTENING—————— Visit UnKoch My Campus to learn about the organization and their work, including groundbreaking reports and their campaigns.

We spend most of our time talking about Frances's latest book, Daring Democracy. I couldn't help sharing how, decades after reading Diet for a Small Planet, I realized it was the first source that started me on the path to embracing and loving sustainability. I started by describing that path and my gratitude.If you haven't read the book, if you wonder why I'm so impassioned and feel so much joy where others are bogged down in shame, guilt, helplessness, facts, burden, and such, I recommend reading Diet for a Small Planet's fiftieth anniversary edition. You will connect deliciousness with sustainability, and fun, freedom, community, and other rewarding emotions. Regular listeners will also understand my origins better.Then we speak about democracy, especially in the US, and restoring it. We talk about Milton Friedman, the Kochs, Donald Trump, their peers, and their motivations; polarization; what to do about our situation. Underlying the facts, economics, and history are her optimism based in knowledge and history. She promotes accountability, especially of concentrated power. We look from a systemic perspective.We laughed a lot. If you consider sustainability a burden, I think you'll find this episode refreshing. And delicious. We can't change the past, but we can improve our world, which we're doing.The Small Planet Institute See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet. If you look at OPEC, they put Saudi Arabia as number two. Venezuela's producing very little oil, not even enough for its own needs at this moment, when it was producing 3.2 million barrels of oil a day — 2 million barrels a day for export. If we unleash oil from Venezuela, then Putin's profit from the invasion evaporates. Putin is earning roughly, by my calculation, a billion dollars a day windfall from the sales of oil and gas, at prices which today hit about $118 a barrel, with natural gas going up an equal amount. So, Venezuela is the way to stop Putin's tanks, it's that simple. Chevron say that within three months they could bring 800,000 barrels of oil a day to the US from Venezuela, all they need is Biden to lift the Trump embargo. That 800,000 barrels a day, by the way, equals the maximum amount of oil that the US gets from Russia. This deadly embargo of Venezuela was imposed by Donald Trump. Why is Biden continuing with Trump's policies, which right now are enriching Putin, by keeping 2 million barrels of oil a day off the market? Keep in mind, Venezuela has invaded no one, attacked no one, and they've got a president that was elected, even if our State Department isn't exactly a fan of Nicolás Maduro. And while Biden is celebrating the fact he got Europe to cancel the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which wasn't in operation anyway, they're still taking 1.9 trillion cubic feet of gas a year from Nord Stream 1. That 1.9 trillion cubic feet a year, which Russia provides through Nord Stream 1, can be replaced 100% by Venezuela, which according to the US Energy Information Administration is capable of over 2 trillion cubic feet of gas production a year for export. They could send this as liquid natural gas to Europe, and completely replace what they get from Nord Stream 1. But we're not doing it, and here's why… It's being blocked by an axis of awful, which includes two powerful Democrats. One is Bob Menendez, the Senator from New Jersey who's the only sitting senator who's ever had unanimous censure by the Senate Ethics Committee for corruption. And the other is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was deeply involved in an illegal scheme to move Democratic National Committee money to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Meanwhile Charles Koch is refusing to shutter his operations in Russia, and is using his power and influence to stop any oil flowing out of Venezuela. And, by the way, the Kochs also funded the Clinton administration, which helped put Putin in power. Here's the thing; when you corrode and corrupt democracy, it has consequences.
