Podcasts about Lisbon

In 2019, Bill Mauro and Marcus Laurence sold their home in the beautiful woodlands of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains and boarded a plane to Portugal with just six suitcases. They initially settled in Lisbon but soon realized they missed the slower pace of country life. That led them to purchase a home in the rural town of Salgueiro da Lomba, in Central Portugal. We first spoke with Bill and Marcus about their new life in Portugal in May 2022 on Episode 83 of Retire There. Seven years after making the move, they still love calling Portugal home. Along the way, they've helped countless others navigate the process of buying a home in Central Portugal. What began as a passion for helping fellow expats has since evolved into a new career as real estate agents. To learn more about purchasing a home in the region surrounding Salgueiro da Lomba, tune in to Episode 226 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. To contact Bill and Marcus about real estate Central Europe, email them at BillAndMarcus@KWPortugal.pt. They are part of the JPVA Real Estate Group. The couple created the Bears and Friends Retiring in Europe Facebook group and their Instagram page is @CasaDaLomba050. #retirethere #portugal #salgueirodalomba #casadalomba #coimbra #bearsandfriendsretiringineurope #centralportugal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

By numbers, World Gymnaestrada is the biggest gymnastics event on the planet, bigger than the Olympics, bigger than every sport at the Olympics combined. Most gymnastics fans have never heard of it. On this episode of Back to Basics, Mubarak Simmons sits down with Hayley Silberg, founder of CAPTivate Adult Gymnastics, one of Canada's only all-adult gymnastics clubs, with roughly 300 athletes training across multiple provinces. Hayley breaks down what World Gymnaestrada actually is: a non-competitive gymnastics festival held every four years that draws more than 20,000 participants from over 50 countries. No judges. No scores. Just gymnastics for the love of it, with performers ranging from toddlers to athletes in their 90s. We also get into how Hayley built CAPTivate from a single weekly performance team into a full club, why adult gymnastics is one of the fastest-growing corners of the sport, and why she believes it might be one of the best things you can do for your mental health. Plus: World Gymnaestrada is coming to North America for the first time ever. Lisbon, Portugal hosts in 2027, and Las Vegas makes history in 2031 as the first edition held outside Europe.

Cameron, Charles and Gordon turn their attention to the AFC South. Cameron's back from Canada (don't worry, he's not becoming a Mountie), Gordon's got Airbnb beef, and Charles is freshly tanned from Lisbon. The lads break down all four division teams, from the Texans' fearsome defense and C.J. Stroud's playoff ceiling, to the Colts' Daniel Jones problem, a Titans rebuild held together by hope, and the Jacksonville Jaguars…stable, dangerous, and sitting on two mouth-watering London games. Can Trevor Lawrence take the next step, or will the Jags bottle it again?

Send us Fan MailYou can chase every new AI tool on the timeline and still end up further from what your customers actually want. After going back to a 2019 interview with Canva Co-Founder & CEO Melanie Perkins, I'm struck by how little the core principles have aged and how much they explain the best AI products and the best marketing today.We talk about Canva's vision of helping people take an idea and turn it into a finished design with as close to zero friction as possible, then connect that directly to what generative AI is supposed to deliver: intention to outcome, not more dashboards. From there, we unpack one of Canva's most important values, "make complex things simple," and why it's becoming the dividing line between AI that feels magical and AI that feels like homework. If your customer needs a 20-minute explanation to understand your value, we explore why the problem may be your story, not their attention span.Then we go deeper into something most growth teams avoid saying out loud: incentives. When a platform succeeds, do its users succeed too, or do their goals start to diverge? We look at alignment, community, trust, and why this question is becoming unavoidable across social media, creator ecosystems, and AI platforms. We close with the quote that still sticks with me years later: "You can only grow as big as your dreams," but you also have to take the first small step, then the next.If you care about AI marketing strategy, product philosophy, and building brands that last, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review. What's one principle you want to keep stable while everything else changes?This solo episode was recorded via  Descript on July 26, 2026.

Writer Rachel Cusk asked: "Can a Woman who is an Artist Ever Just Be an Artist?" (NYT). Our host, contemporary art writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves, turns this  question of gender and skill on its head: can men be (good) artists? Cusk's book "Parade" (2024) is this Art & Literature special episode's book of choice.Joana embarks on an art and feminism quest: is gender a prison? Or is it the forceful power of the patriarchy? She is helped by living and fictional contemporary artists and writers, intersectional feminism, and philosophy of art via Vilem Flusser and his "theory of gestures".Did you enjoy the episode?

If you've ever thought "I've wasted so many years drinking," this episode is going to change how you see your entire story.It started with Madonna- a line about how the deepest darkness holds the greatest light. And it perfectly captures something psychologists have been studying for decades: post-traumatic growth.The research shows that women who go through hard seasons — including years of over-drinking, and actually process them, come out the other side with deeper relationships, more appreciation for life, and a strength they never had before.The growth comes from processing the pain, and just time alone won't do it.In this episode, I break down the five research-backed ways post-traumatic growth shows up and I share the tips for actually getting there. I promise your drinking years aren't wasted years.

Key points worth noting:1755 Lisbon earthquake: One of the most devastating in European history (estimated 8.5–9.0 magnitude). It destroyed much of Lisbon, triggered a massive tsunami, and caused fires. It influenced philosophy (e.g., Voltaire) and early seismology.Modern risks: The area still faces significant threat. The Gorringe Bank and other offshore faults can produce large events. Portugal has improved building codes since the 20th century, but older structures remain vulnerable.Recent activity: Smaller quakes happen regularly, especially in the Azores. For example, there have been notable swarms and moderate events in recent years.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

Tuesday of the 16th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, 1559-1619; a master of multiple languages; joined the Capuchins at 16; he was elected major superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31, and minister general of the Capuchins in 1602; he was appointed a papal emissary and peacemaker, a job which took him to a number of foreign countries; an effort to achieve peace in his native kingdom of Naples took him on a journey to Lisbon to visit the king of Spain; serious illness in Lisbon took his life in 1619 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/21/26 Gospel: Matthew 12:46-50

Pega Monstro are Portuguese sisters Júlia and Maria Reis - and that's it. Unless you count Rodrigo Rodizio as an actual member. The Reis girls quickly became leaders of the Lisbon rock scene fifteen years ago - especially after founding Cafetra Records and providing an outlet for their friends' groups to release music. But friends don't matter when a masterpiece needs to be made - and in 2015 Pega Monstro left Portugal for London to unleash the Alfarroba. And we thank them for that.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas. 46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam. 47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti. 48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam. 52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.Laurence of Brindisi, a Capuchin friar who for some years ruled his whole Order, acquired great fame for learning and eloquence, and labored with remarkable success in most parts of Europe preaching to Catholics, to Protestants, and to Jews. When 80,000 Turks invaged Hungary in 1605, he it was who inspired the united Christian armies of 18,000 men to the attack and himself led them to complete victory riding before them bearing a large cross. He died in Lisbon in 1611. 1. The Treasure Hidden in the Field (vv. 44)A man discovers a treasure so valuable that he joyfully sells everything to buy the field.Notice two things:He doesn't give up everything reluctantly.He gives it up because he has found something infinitely better.Jesus isn't saying Christians should despise earthly goods. He's saying that once you've discovered the Kingdom, everything else finds its proper place.2. The Pearl of Great Price (vv. 45–46)This parable is slightly different.The first man stumbles upon the treasure.The merchant has been searching all along.Some people are converted unexpectedly. Others spend years searching for truth before they find Christ.Again, Jesus emphasizes the worth of the Kingdom.3. The Dragnet (vv. 47–50)Jesus is describing the visible kingdom on earth.The Church contains:saintssinnerspeople growing in holinesspeople resisting graceThe final separation belongs to God.Sometimes we wonder why evil seems to remain in the world—and even within the visible Church. Jesus says the final judgment comes at the end of the age.4. The Householder (vv. 51–52)Then He says:"Every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his treasure things new and old." A faithful disciple doesn't discard the old. He doesn't cling only to the new. He treasures both.As Catholics, we naturally think of:the Old Testament fulfilled in Christthe continuity of apostolic teachingthe Church preserving ancient truth while continually proclaiming it anew.

In today's Good Morning Portugal! news (Tuesday 21 July 2026), Carl Munson reports that the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) is facing fresh criticism over massive residency permit backlogs, with more than 400,000 applications still pending. Other top stories include rental prices hitting new record highs despite recent government measures, the confirmation of extended IRS tax reductions (benefiting foreign residents under the general regime from next month), SNS summer plan causing emergency room closures, the launch of new digital nomad hubs in Portugal's interior regions, easier Schengen access for CPLP visa holders, and environmental legal challenges facing Lisbon airport expansion plans.#PortugalNews #AIMABacklog #ResidencyPermits #PortugalRentals #HousingCrisis #IRSTaxCuts #DigitalNomads #InteriorPortugal #CPLPVisa #Schengen #LisbonAirport #Portugal2026 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 396 The Saint of the day is Saint Lawrence of Brindisi Saint Lawrence of Brindisi's Story At first glance, perhaps the most remarkable quality of Lawrence of Brindisi is his outstanding gift of languages. In addition to a thorough knowledge of his native Italian, he had complete reading and speaking ability in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French. Lawrence was born on July 22, 1559, and died exactly 60 years later on his birthday in 1619. His parents William and Elizabeth Russo gave him the name of Julius Caesar, Caesare in Italian. After the early death of his parents, he was educated by his uncle at the College of St. Mark in Venice. When he was just 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Venice and received the name of Lawrence of Brindisi. He completed his studies of philosophy and theology at the University of Padua and was ordained a priest at 23. With his facility for languages Lawrence of Brindisi was able to study the Bible in its original texts. At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian. Lawrence's sensitivity to the needs of people—a character trait perhaps unexpected in such a talented scholar—began to surface. He was elected major superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31. He had the combination of brilliance, human compassion, and administrative skill needed to carry out his duties. In rapid succession he was promoted by his fellow Capuchins and was elected minister general of the Capuchins in 1602. In this position he was responsible for great growth and geographical expansion of the Order. Lawrence of Brindisi was appointed papal emissary and peacemaker, a job which took him to a number of foreign countries. An effort to achieve peace in his native kingdom of Naples took him on a journey to Lisbon to visit the king of Spain. Serious illness in Lisbon took his life in 1619. In 1956, the Capuchins completed a 15-volume edition of Lawrence's writings. Eleven of these 15 contain his sermons, each of which relies chiefly on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. Reflection His constant devotion to Scripture, coupled with great sensitivity to the needs of people, present a lifestyle which appeals to Christians today. Lawrence had a balance in his life that blended self-discipline with a keen appreciation for the needs of those whom he was called to serve.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Hamlet wagers 6 Barbary horses against 6 French swords. Falstaff talks about fighting with a Barbary hen. Bassanio in Merchant of Venice talks about travelling merchants going to foreign lands including "Tripolis, Mexico and England, Lisbon, Barbary, and India" There are also an additional 5 references to Barbary horses.   The Barbary States were Algeria, Tunisia, Tripolis, and Morroco. These were powerful coastal societies tied in various ways to the Ottoman world, and in Shakespeare's day they were central to English fears about piracy and captivity. Ships were seized. Sailors were enslaved. Families, merchants, churches, and governments negotiated over the price of a human life.  English first hand accounts of the Muslim world and the Barbary States in particular were sparse, even non-existent prior to Richard Knolles publication in 1603 where he writes the History of the Turks, the same year Shakespeare publishes his Ottoman-heavy play with a Moor in the title role, Othello.   Today we are joined by Daniel Vitkus, editor of Piracy, Slavery, and Redemption: Barbary Captivity Narratives from Early Modern England, and Abdulhamit Arvas, Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and expert on early modern Muslims, Barbary pirates, and Shakespeare. They are here to help us explore the place of the Barbary Coast in Shakespeare's England, to understand the culture of hostages and holding someone ransom, what was happening to Britons that were taken captive and sold into slavery by the Barbary pirates, as well as to explain the surprising dichotomy of being afraid of the Barbary nation while admiring their products, like horses.

On Monday, July 20, 2026, Carl Munson for Good Morning Portugal reports that the Cascais Hospital home hospitalization unit has achieved a major milestone, preventing nearly 4,000 days of traditional inpatient care this year by treating patients at home. This has freed up beds for acute cases and is viewed as a cost-effective solution. Other headlines include the government forming a task force to tackle a longstanding backlog, a new community-led SWAT language program designed to help expats master Portuguese through accountability, weekly goals, and real-world practice (instead of apps); eased water restrictions in the Algarve after recent rain, taxi protests against new TVDE regulations, Angolan investment in Portugal doubling to historic levels, and minor injuries following a fire at Lisbon's CUF hospitals. More at www.portugalforeignersforum.com/newsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

We are living in an era defined by a new kind of power shift. It's not only measured in borders and markets but in Gigawatts and Gigaflops.Every line of code generated and every industrial process optimised by Artificial Intelligence is tethered to a physical reality: the Data Centre. These silent, humming monoliths have become the new cathedrals of the 21st century, and their appetite is unprecedented. How on earth are we going to be able to create and sustain the power demand of AI? But this isn't just a technical challenge; it's a diplomatic powder keg. With the Strait of Hormuz slowly recovering from a blockade and the global energy market reeling from price hikes, we have entered a world of energy realism. Furthermore, is the machine a monster that will break our grids and stall the transition? Or is it the only navigator capable of steering us through the complexities of a changing climate and the demands of a green transition?Joining the host ,Tom Parker, is José Manuel Durão Barroso, Prime Minister of Portugal from 2002 to 2004 and European Commission President from 2004-2014, alongside Mo Gawdat, a software engineer, entrepreneur, author, podcaster, public speaker and former Chief Business Officer at Google X, and Miguel Stilwell d'Andrade, CEO of EDP, a global energy company.This episode was recorded on July 8th in front of a live audience at EDP Headquarters, LIsbon.

Let's discuss intuition.In this episode, I'm telling you the full story of how one small decision to listen to my body last fall led to the biggest, most magical thing in my business and my life.Last year I had a two week trip planned with my friend Sarah. On paper it was a dream. But as it got closer, something in my body kept whispering, this is too much. And instead of pushing through like I would have during my drinking years, I said it out loud.Then Sarah asked me one question that changed everything.In this episode, we're talking about intuition. What it actually feels like in your body, what science says about when you can trust it, and why twenty years of over-drinking teaches you to mute the very signals that are trying to guide you.You'll learn: Why gut feelings are literal (your body sends way more information to your brain than your brain sends back) The one question to ask yourself when you can't tell what you really want Why your intuition about your own needs is the most reliable kind, according to research How wine becomes the tool we use to drown out the "something's off" whisper What honoring your intuition actually gives you (hint: I'm keeping this honest, no fairy tales) www.angelamascenik.com

This week on Mouse Chat, Sharpie takes us to Europe for a father-son high-school graduation trip through Spain and Portugal — a destination his oldest son picked as he heads off to study architecture. From Gaudí's Sagrada Família to a flamenco tablao, high-speed trains, beach towns, and Lisbon's tile shops, here's an honest trip report with real tips you can use to plan your own visit. What we cover this week: The route: flying Aer Lingus out of Pittsburgh with a 12-hour Dublin layover each way, then Barcelona (3 nights) → high-speed train to Madrid → train to Seville → local train to Cádiz → back to Seville → a flight to Lisbon, plus a day trip to Cascais. Barcelona: an 8-hour guided tour, an hour inside Sagrada Família (and why the light, the facades, and the windows are unlike any cathedral you've seen), the Gothic Quarter, a Picasso mural, Park Güell, the harbor cable car, neighborhood markets, and a breathtaking live flamenco show. Riding the rails: what first class on Spain's high-speed trains is really like (lounge, meal service, roomy seats) and the fields of sunflowers "as far as the eye can see" between Madrid and Seville. Madrid: a tuk-tuk tour on a 104°F record-heat day — including the AI-translation guide snafu — and how to roll with it when a tour doesn't go to plan. Cádiz: a relaxing beach-town break, a spa hotel with a full thermal suite and 75-minute massages for about $100 each, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. Lisbon & Cascais: the cleanest city of the trip, the designer-lined Avenida da Liberdade, a rooftop-pool hotel, hunting down handmade Portuguese pottery and antique tiles, and cliff divers at a beautiful beach town 40 minutes away. Real-world tips: Spain's excellent public transit, the current euro exchange rate (about $1.15 to €1), walking 75 miles over nine days, and Sharpie's planning method — book the big-ticket sights, then fill the gaps with finds along the way.

Art criticism is vanishing from mainstream media, but here's the uncomfortable question: does art and culture still need critics? Our host, Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer, examines why critics are leaving big outlets without being replaced—and what this means for art criticism, artistic quality assessment, curatorial etiquette, and the future of art evaluation itself. What is art criticism actually for? And where does Joana's feminist critique of critique lead to? And who decides what's good art now? Or, rather, is “good art” the yardstick by which art experiences should be measured?Did you enjoy the episode?

Live July 12, 2026(The Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 7)Egalitarianism, Khmer Rouge & the Killing Fields of Cambodia | Yaron & Nikos DialoguesWhat Happens When Equality Becomes an Absolute? The Deadly Lessons of Pol Pot's CambodiaCould the pursuit of equality become one of history's deadliest ideas?The Khmer Rouge didn't simply commit mass murder—they attempted to erase individuality itself. Under Pol Pot, Cambodia became history's most radical experiment in egalitarianism, where intelligence, achievement, family, love, private property, and even wearing glasses could become death sentences.In this episode, Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos examine the philosophical roots behind one of the twentieth century's greatest atrocities. They explore how egalitarian ideals became totalitarian terror, why many Western intellectuals excused the regime, and what Cambodia still teaches us about collectivism, freedom, and human nature.The discussion also includes updates on the Yaron Brook documentary project, film recommendations, and the return of the show's music segment.Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/ESzykH4naC8More from Nikos Sotirakopoulos: https://www.nikos.org/Support Nikos: https://www.youtube.com/@nikos_1717Main Topics00:00 Introduction, World Cup & documentary update10:26 Why Cambodia matters12:21 Cambodian genocide overview16:03 French colonialism & Pol Pot's influences22:18 Rise of the communist movement25:10 Vietnam War & revolutionary momentum29:04 Origins of the Khmer Rouge30:12 Mao's influence33:19 U.S. bombing & communist recruitment38:01 Radical egalitarianism becomes terror45:02 Emptying Phnom Penh49:34 S-21 prison & ideological purges54:00 Love and family under communism59:31 Starvation, terror & Vietnam's invasion1:04:28 Fate of Khmer Rouge leaders1:07:18 Western intellectuals and Cambodia1:12:31 Film recommendations1:13:51 Justice after the Khmer Rouge1:13:59 Music Review: R.E.M. – Stand1:23:20 Next Dialogue: Ronald Reagan & Ayn RandLive Audience Q&A1:18:50 Simple Minds – Don't You Forget About Me1:26:27 Brad Pitt on Atlas Shrugged & The Fountainhead1:31:23 Could Western egalitarianism lead to another Cambodia?1:34:22 China's support for the Khmer Rouge1:36:12 Germany, Argentina & defeating bad ideas1:39:39 Is cynicism rational today?1:43:21 Christian New Right vs. Democratic Socialists1:45:00 Why does collectivism demand self-sacrifice?1:48:13 The cost of anti-profit morality1:51:05 Connor McGregor—an egoist?1:54:42 Did Pol Pot use starvation as a purge?1:58:56 Was Vietnam heroic for ending the Khmer Rouge?2:00:19 Richard Wolff revisited2:02:51 Does France owe Cambodia an apology?2:04:42 World Cup red card controversy2:05:53 Did communist leaders think Pol Pot went too far?2:08:00 Why Vietnam embraces capitalism today2:09:25 Did Ayn Rand comment on Pol Pot?2:11:43 Resistance inside Cambodia2:15:35 Why didn't Mao invade Hong Kong?2:16:38 Cambodia reading recommendations2:21:18 London's Muslim neighborhoods & the documentary2:23:55 John Galt's real message2:26:56 Ayn Rand on censorship2:33:49 Why communist Poland & Cuba tolerated Christianity2:34:33 Did Tito prove socialism works?2:37:21 Lisbon event with Nikos?2:39:53 Is colonialism part of Western civilization?

You decided this morning you weren't drinking tonight. Then 5pm rolls around, the day was long, and the debate starts: "Maybe just one. I don't want to be left out. I'll start fresh Monday."In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal story about coming off anti-anxiety medication and sleep aids during our move to Lisbon, the brutal side effects nobody warned me about, and the two nights I barely slept at all.What got me through was one skill: allowing the discomfort WHILE my brain also wanted to talk me out of it.In this episode, you'll learn: My experience stopping a low-dose anti-anxiety and what the withdrawal was actually like (brain zaps, body aches, sleepless nights, stomach issues.. all of it) Why I decided to come off everything before walking the Camino, including sleep aids The difference between allowing discomfort and white-knuckling through it Why deciding ahead of time changes everything, and how the 2 am moment becomes just following through Quick note: this is my personal experience with medication. Always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping anything. This is not medical advice.www.angelamascenik.com

On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold breaks down a massive day of rock history, last-minute festival chaos, and a poignant heavy metal tribute. We start with the highly anticipated announcement of 'The Masters Of Reality', a massive 500-page officially backed Black Sabbath book arriving this October through Rufus Publishing. Overseen by legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin, the project chronicles the band's iconic Ozzy Osbourne-fronted eras up to their historic 'Back To The Beginning' farewell concert. Halfin reveals that production began two years ago with the full blessing and signed participation of the late heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne before his sudden passing in 2025. Plus, absolute chaos erupted in Lisbon, Portugal, over the weekend after Megadeth was forced to pull the plug on their headlining appearance at the EvilLive festival due to catastrophic "technical issues." We look at eyewitness accounts of frantic road crews running through the crowd with flashlights, leading to a near-riot as furious fans chanted for refunds and pelted the stage with projectiles. Finally, we head to Atlanta, Georgia, where a brand-new street memorial has been officially unveiled at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Boulevard SE. Erected at the site of late Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds' tragic 2025 motorcycle crash, the moving tribute serves a dual purpose as a critical road safety warning urging drivers to look twice for motorcyclists.

I'm recording this from my first morning LIVING in Lisbon, Portugal, sitting in The Magic House with a cup of coffee, my family finally here, and this feeling I can only describe as the specific joy of having done the hard thing.Eighteen months ago I had an idea to move my family to a country I had never been to. No plan. Just a decision. And this morning that decision is my reality.In this episode I'm sharing what that journey taught me — and exactly how it applies to changing your relationship with alcohol.Because here's what I know after eight years of doing this work: the women who stay stuck aren't lacking information. They aren't lacking willpower. They're waiting to know how before they decide. And that's backwards. The plan doesn't come before the decision. The plan comes FROM the decision. We cover:Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck — and what to do insteadThe one question that cuts through every excuse: if you knew it would work, would you do it?What real change actually looks like from the inside — and why the mess doesn't mean you're failingThe grief nobody talks about when you change your relationship with alcoholAnd what deciding, actually looks like.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You've been thinking about changing your drinking for months or years and you still haven't fully committed You keep waiting until you feel ready, until things calm down, until after the next event You know what you want but you don't believe you can actually get there You've tried before and it didn't stick and you're not sure this time would be different You want permission to start before you have it all figured out ABOUT ANGELA: Angela Mascenik is a certified stop over-drinking coach for women and the host of the Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast.
