Please enjoy this podcast rewind: This episode is a further exploration of Decisions. If you haven't listened to Part 1, please do that first, https://www.angelamascenik.com/podcasts/stop-over-drinking-and-start-living/episodes/2148935056 This episode dives into AFTER we made a decision, how to evaluate that decision, especially if you didn't experience the outcome of the decision that you really wanted to. I also discuss how to keep making more decisions that have this new insight you received after being in the outcome of the original decision. Also learn how to have your own back around the decisions you made no matter the outcome. Decision making is a huge process when you are trying to change unwanted behavior. It's really important to learn how to make and evaluate decisions that have your goals in mind instead of reacting to your mind's primitive needs and wants!

Brazilian-trained chemical engineer, Raiza Rezende left a career path lined up by petroleum, gas, and pharmaceutical companies to study syntropic agriculture with Ernst Götsch, then WWOOFed her way across Spain, Portugal, and Greece before co-founding two organisations working from opposite ends of the same problem: Agrosystemic, which helps large farms in Portugal and Brazil transition toward regenerative practices, and RHEA, the Regenerative Healthcare European Association, which is trying to prove — with hard data — that healthy soil produces healthier people.Pull one carrot out of the ground and test it, and the number on the lab report tells you almost nothing. Is its vitamin A content high or low? Compared to what? That's the problem sitting underneath the entire “nutrient density” conversation, and it's the one Raiza keeps running into: without thousands of samples across farms, regions, and varieties, a single result is just a number with nowhere to stand.In this conversation recorded in a Lisbon park, with the podcast's producer Antonella Totaro taking over hosting duties for the first time, we get into Raiza's path from an oil-and-gas-sponsored engineering campus in Rio to the most desertified farmland in Portugal, why Agrosystemic refuses to tell conventional farmers they're doing it “wrong”, what four real farms and 40-plus measured parameters are starting to reveal about nutrient density, why €700 billion a year in EU disease treatment costs hasn't yet connected soil research to health research, and why, with a magic wand or a billion euros, she'd skip the technology and put the money straight into farmers.More about this episodeThoughts?

On today's episode of the Loaded Radio Daily Breakdown, host Scott Penfold delivers a high-octane, laid-back look at the absolute biggest stories trending across the hard rock and metal grids over the last 48 hours.  First up, we unpack the massive operational news coming out of France tonight. Iron Maiden is taking over the La Défense Arena in Paris to professionally film their upcoming "Run For Your Lives" world tour concert movie. The catch? Management is enforcing a strict phone-free General Admission floor using lockable Yondr pouches. We break down the logistics, the fan reaction, and what this means for the future of stadium rock etiquette. Next, we look at a major shake-up on the European festival circuit. Anthrax and Pantera drum titan Charlie Benante has been sidelined by a right-hand injury. Following strict doctor's orders to rest from June 20 to July 4, Charlie will sit out massive summer milestones including Hellfest, Copenhell, and select dates supporting Iron Maiden. We talk about his phenomenal UK fill-in Darby Todd (Devin Townsend, Robert Plant) and map out Charlie's scheduled return date in Lisbon. Finally, we head to Birmingham to mark an incredibly poignant milestone. As the metal world approaches the one-year anniversary of the Prince of Darkness' passing, Ozzy Osbourne's iconic, bat-winged gothic throne is heading to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Synced with the massively successful "Working Class Hero" exhibition, we look back at the history of the throne—built for his 2024 Hall of Fame induction and last seen on stage at Black Sabbath's legendary final "Back To The Beginning" farewell concert at Villa Park on July 5, 2025.  Stream the daily tracking report now!

In the newest season of State of Seed, launching Friday, we examine how our increasingly fragmented world is impacting access to seeds. Recorded at the World Seed Congress in Lisbon, host Laura Rosbrow-Telem talks to farmers and leaders from seed companies, government, the WTO, and the FAO about how they are grappling with this geopolitically complicated moment. But it's not all doom and gloom. Agricultural trade remained stable last year and crop breeding innovations could help farmers manage various challenges, including better optimizing inputs like fertilizers.

Send us Fan MailLee gets back from a holiday in Lisbon – computerless, app-deleted, and topped up with regular visits to a masseur who is also, confusingly, named Simon – while back home Simon is locked in a slow-motion battle with a magpie raiding his bird feeder.

The Portuguese Camino spans 625km from Lisbon in Portugal to Santiago in Spain but rather than doing the full walk many people opt for the shorter 260km Portuguese Coastal Way running between Porto and Santiago and which takes most people 12 to 14 days. In this podcast episode we catch up with Canberra Based Hiker Mary Wiley-Smith who late last year undertook her own adventure on the Portuguese Coastal Way along with her friend Kylie. www.australianhiker.com.au   Australian Hiker can also be found on our various social media platforms Australian Hiker Facebook Australian Hiker Instagram Australian Hiker Twitter Australian Hiker Threads Australian Hiker Vimeo Australian Hiker Youtube

Yoga is often portrayed as a series of poses performed on a mat, perhaps accompanied by incense, calming music, and the promise of becoming more flexible. But for millions of people around the world, yoga is far more than exercise. It's a philosophy, a spiritual practice, a community, a way of life, and a framework for navigating life's inevitable ups and downs. In this special episode of The Happier Life Project, Gabby Sanderson sits down in person with Zoe Taylor, founder of Ministry of Yoga in Lisbon, to look beyond the clichés and explore what yoga can really offer us. Tying into International Day of Yoga on 21 June and this year's theme of Yoga for Healthy Ageing, the conversation examines how yoga can help us not just live longer, but live well for longer; mentally, emotionally, and physically. Fresh from her own yoga teacher training with Zoe, Gabby brings a personal perspective to a discussion exploring yoga's philosophy and spiritual roots, the relevance of the Yamas and Niyamas – yoga's ethical guidelines – in modern life, the connection between yoga and mental wellbeing, and the importance of community, resilience, and finding calm in an increasingly chaotic world. Whether you're a devoted yogi, yoga-curious, sceptical of the stereotypes, or someone who's never stepped foot on a mat, this episode invites you to see yoga through a different lens - not as a performance of flexibility, but as a lifelong companion for wellbeing, helping us move through life with greater awareness, intention, and compassion. About Zoe Taylor: Originally from Tasmania, Australia, Zoe discovered yoga in 2010 and has since completed more than 700 hours of teacher training across Europe and Asia. She founded Ministry of Yoga in Lisbon in 2016 and has led over 5,000 classes, retreats, and workshops, blending movement, philosophy, and meditation to support wellbeing both on and off the mat.

Wandering Works for Us PodcastDate: 13 June 2026Day Trips beyond Lisbon, Part 2: Palácio do Bucaco, Grutas da Mira de Aire, Quinta do Cerejeiras, and Buddha Eden GardensSummary of EpisodeWe're back with another round of day trips from Lisbon — and this batch might be our favourites yet. In this episode, Shelley and Beth head into some of Portugal's most surprising corners: a fairy-tale palace lost in an ancient forest, the largest caves in the country (that almost nobody outside Portugal knows exist), and a vast sculpture garden full of Buddhas and terracotta warriors tucked between vineyards. Yes, really.If you loved our first Lisbon day trips episode, this one goes even deeper off the well-worn path.In This EpisodePalácio do Buçaco (~2.5 hours from Lisbon) A neo-Manueline palace inside a UNESCO-protected forest — the kind of place that genuinely feels like it shouldn't exist. We talk about the centuries-old forest (planted by monks, over 700 tree species), the extraordinary palace interior, and the shadow of King Carlos I, who was assassinated just a year after it was completed. We also get into the Battle of Buçaco from the Peninsular War and why the old convent on the grounds is worth seeking out. Our honest take: this one is better as an overnight or paired with Coimbra, just 30 minutes away.Grutas de Mira de Aire (~1.5 hours from Lisbon) The largest open caves in Portugal, discovered by accident in 1947 when a local farmer noticed steam rising from the ground on a cold morning. Formed during the Middle Jurassic era (yes, dinosaur times), the caves stretch 11 km but 600 metres are open to visitors. We walk you through what the guided tour is actually like, the app you can use if your tour is in Portuguese, and that final room with the fountain show — a little kitsch, absolutely wonderful. A car is needed if you are doing it yourselves, but you can get a tour through Get Your Guide from Lisbon, and it pairs beautifully with Fátima for a full central Portugal day.Buddha Eden & Quinta das Cerejeiras (~1 hour from Lisbon, near Bombarral) This one needs to be seen to be believed. Thirty-five hectares of Buddhist statues, Easter Island heads, and terracotta warriors set among vineyards in the Óbidos wine region — created by collector Joe Berardo as a response to the Taliban's destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas. We share what the experience is actually like, why you need comfortable shoes and more time than you think, and Beth tells the story of the train. We also cover Quinta das Cerejeiras nearby — the historic home of Abel Pereira da Fonseca — and how to actually get inside (hint: you need to call ahead).Key Topics[01:10] Palácio do Buçaco–Sorry about calling Luís I, Louis.

Full Text of Readings Saturday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 364 The Saint of the day is Saint Anthony of Padua Saint Anthony of Padua's Story The gospel call to leave everything and follow Christ was the rule of Saint Anthony of Padua's life. Over and over again, God called him to something new in his plan. Every time Anthony responded with renewed zeal and self-sacrificing to serve his Lord Jesus more completely. His journey as the servant of God began as a very young man when he decided to join the Augustinians in Lisbon, giving up a future of wealth and power to be a servant of God. Later when the bodies of the first Franciscan martyrs went through the Portuguese city where he was stationed, he was again filled with an intense longing to be one of those closest to Jesus himself: those who die for the Good News. So, Saint Anthony of Padua entered the Franciscan Order and set out to preach to the Moors. But an illness prevented him from achieving that goal. He went to Italy and was stationed in a small hermitage where he spent most of his time praying, reading the Scriptures and doing menial tasks. The call of God came again at an ordination where no one was prepared to speak. The humble and obedient Anthony hesitantly accepted the task. The years of searching for Jesus in prayer, of reading sacred Scripture and of serving him in poverty, chastity, and obedience had prepared Saint Anthony of Padua to allow the Spirit to use his talents. Anthony's sermon was astounding to those who expected an unprepared speech and knew not the Spirit's power to give people words. Recognized as a great man of prayer and a great Scripture and theology scholar, Saint Anthony of Padua became the first friar to teach theology to the other friars. Soon he was called from that post to preach to the Albigensians in France, using his profound knowledge of Scripture and theology to convert and reassure those who had been misled by their denial of Christ's divinity and of the sacraments. After he led the friars in northern Italy for three years, he made his headquarters in the city of Padua. He resumed his preaching and began writing sermon notes to help other preachers. In the spring of 1231 Saint Anthony of Padua withdrew to a friary at Camposampiero where he had a sort of treehouse built as a hermitage. There he prayed and prepared for death. On June 13, he became very ill and asked to be taken back to Padua, where he died after receiving the last sacraments. Saint Anthony of Padua was canonized less than a year later and named a Doctor of the Church in 1946. Reflection Saint Anthony of Padua should be the patron of those who find their lives completely uprooted and set in a new and unexpected direction. Like all saints, he is a perfect example of turning one's life completely over to Christ. God did with Anthony as God pleased—and what God pleased was a life of spiritual power and brilliance that still attracts admiration today. He whom popular devotion has nominated as finder of lost objects found himself by losing himself totally to the providence of God. May Saint Anthony's holy life help us see with renewed faith God's forgiveness and unconditional love for each of us! If we as believers understood as clearly as Anthony the depth of God's love for each of us, surely our love for Christ would grow stronger.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

How an Irish‑Born Grandparent Could Change Your LifeOn this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, we explore a story that begins with a simple family rumor — the kind told at holiday tables and half‑remembered over generations. What if that old tale about your Irish grandmother isn't just nostalgia, but a key that could change where you're allowed to live, work, and travel for the rest of your life?This episode dives into the emotional and practical power of discovering that one of your grandparents was born on the island of Ireland. For many Americans, Ireland is a place of cliffs, pubs, music, and mist — a beautiful destination. But for some, it's something much more: a doorway.We follow the journey from curiosity to revelation, beginning with the moment you learn about Foreign Birth Registration, the Irish law that allows people with one Irish‑born grandparent to apply for Irish citizenship. One grandparent — that's all it takes to unlock the possibility of holding an Irish passport and becoming a citizen of the European Union.The episode explores what that means in real life: the freedom to live anywhere in the EU, to spend a summer in Greece without counting Schengen days, to take a job in Copenhagen, to rent an apartment in Lisbon long enough to learn your neighbors' names. And uniquely, Irish citizens also retain the right to live and work in the United Kingdom — a privilege most EU citizens lost after Brexit.But this isn't just a legal process. It's a deeply personal one. The search for your grandparent's Irish birth records becomes a detective story through family Bibles, naturalization papers, draft cards, and old boxes of documents. It's a journey that connects you to the landscapes your ancestors walked, the parishes where they were baptized, and the villages they left behind.We walk through the Foreign Birth Registration process, the documents required, the timeline, and the surprising simplicity of the application once the records are in hand. And we look at the long‑term impact: the options you give your future self, your children, and the generations that follow.This episode is an invitation to explore your family history, to reconnect with a place you may never have realized you belonged to, and to consider how one grandparent's birthplace could open an entire continent of possibility.CALLS TO ACTIONListen to more episodes of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Apple Podcasts: Spotify:Read more travel stories on GoNOMAD: https://www.gonomad.comFollow GoNOMAD on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonomad_travel For more information about Irish citizenship by descent, contact Jack: https://www.irishbydescent.comMentioned in this episode:Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Travel Network, that brings together the world's best travel podcasts.

PHP Podcast – June 11, 2026 Guest Hosts: Sara Golemon, Elizabeth Barron & Holly Schilling Eric and John are out this week — Sara, Elizabeth, and Holly take over. Here’s what they covered: PHPVerse Recap PHPVerse just wrapped up, and Elizabeth was there in Amsterdam. The format is unusual — all speakers are flown to one location, but the audience is entirely virtual. It was a class act: professional TV crew, studio lighting, and a makeup and hair team on site. Around 2,500–3,000 people watched the live stream. Everything was broadcast as one long block; individual talk segments and possibly the documentary trailer will be cut and released separately. The full stream is available now — the PHP documentary trailer (produced by Jet Breeze, covering 30+ years of PHP history) appears around the 2:24:30 mark. PHP Foundation 2026 Strategy Document Elizabeth and the PHP Foundation released their 2026 strategy document the same day as this recording. The foundation gathered community input across numerous conversations and conferences, synthesized it into findings, and has now published a plan for the rest of the year. Key themes: repositioning PHP’s public perception (which Elizabeth calls a solvable problem), creating six special interest groups, and launching an Onboarding Initiative to build a real on-ramp for new PHP developers. Elizabeth’s view is that the two things giving her the most hope for PHP’s future are the passion and expertise of the community, and how good the language itself has gotten. Visit thephp.foundation to read the full document. The Onboarding Initiative One of the six special interest groups the foundation is launching is specifically focused on bringing new developers into PHP. Goals include creating a true learning path (not just a reference manual that assumes existing knowledge), improving educational resources, and potentially working with the php.net website to improve the first-time experience. Holly made the point that PHP’s barrier to entry is genuinely lower than almost any other language — the Hello World program is 11 characters — but that story isn’t being told outside the PHP bubble. New developers are turning to JavaScript as a first language and running into minified spaghetti instead of something approachable. AI Writing PHP — And PHP as a Second Language Holly built the entire PHP Tek conference app backend in Laravel without writing a single line of code herself — AI-generated throughout, which she reviewed and approved. The code held up to peer review at the conference with only minor style nits. She ran it on PHP 8.3 and used modern standards throughout (one piece of feedback: stop using empty()). The consensus: AI models write good modern PHP because of the vast amount of open source PHP they were trained on. The caveat Sara raised is worth thinking about — how much of that training data is PHP 4-era code and WordPress 3 repositories? Either way, Holly’s case for PHP as a second language is strong: low ceremony, low boilerplate, readable syntax, and it’s a language where you can do something useful in minutes. PHP’s Reputation Problem (and Why It’s Fixable) The group dug into PHP’s perception gap — the mismatch between how good the language actually is and how it’s perceived outside the community. Holly’s experience as a mobile developer who recommends PHP to others: the pushback is immediate (“isn’t that slow?”, “isn’t that dead?”). The benchmarks don’t support that reputation — PHP outperforms Python on most comparable workloads — but data alone doesn’t shift perception. Elizabeth’s point is that this is primarily a storytelling and coordination problem, not a language problem, and that the foundation’s repositioning work is exactly aimed at closing that gap. The community has the passion. It just needs to tell the story outside its own bubble. PHP Polling API RFC Sara walked through the RFC for a new Polling API in PHP (wiki.php.net/rfc/poll_API). The short version: PHP currently has five or six different ways to do I/O multiplexing (watching multiple streams and acting on whichever one is ready first), and which one works depends on the OS, available extensions, and PHP version. The Polling API proposal creates a single, unified interface that abstracts all of that. The immediate beneficiaries are async frameworks like Amp PHP, ReactPHP, and Revolt, which currently have to maintain multiple backend implementations to cover different environments. The bigger picture: this is a building block on the path toward true async PHP, likely contributing to something more complete in PHP 9.0. Most app developers won’t use it directly — but the libraries they depend on will. RFCs are all listed at wiki.php.net/rfc. PHP.net: Do As We Say, Not As We Do Sara, who has contributed to php.net, copped to the state of the codebase: some of it dates to the PHP 3 era, there are functions.inc files, and it is very much “do as we say, not as we do.” The historical reason is that php.net used to rely on community-administered mirrors (r-synced servers running everything from PHP 5.1 to 5.6 simultaneously), so modernizing the code was impossible without controlling the runtime. That’s changed with CDN-based load balancing — they can now control what PHP version runs on php.net — and the code has been getting better. But it’s a slow process. PHP Podcasts Past, Present, and Future Holly asked about the PHP Town Hall podcast (Ben Edmonds and Phil Sturgeon), and the group did a quick tour of PHP podcast history. The PHP Roundtable — originally started by Sammy, taken over by Eric — has produced about three episodes. Sara and producer Joe are planning to take it off Eric’s hands and actually do it properly. And Elizabeth announced that the PHP Foundation is launching a new podcast: tentatively called PHP at Scale, hosted by Ben Marx, focused on telling the stories of organizations pushing PHP to its limits. No launch date yet, but there’s already a queue of interested guests. Next Week’s Show — Moved to Wednesday Sara will be on a boat off the coast of Galicia on Thursday, so next week’s episode is moving to Wednesday. Guests will include Paul Reinheimer and (hopefully) Sean Coase — two veterans from PHP’s podcasting past. Elizabeth is going to try to make it work around the Canadian Grand Prix. Mac Mini M4 for Local LLMs Holly picked up a refurbished Mac Mini M4 (16GB RAM, 512GB storage) specifically to run LLM models locally via Ollama. Apple Silicon is a solid choice for this because the unified memory architecture gives the neural cores access to far more RAM than a discrete GPU setup. Sara is waiting for the M5, which is reportedly not coming until fall — and is already resigned to spending too much on it when it lands.

More Americans are leaving the United States than at any point in recent memory, and Portugal has become one of the most searched destinations. But what's driving the move, and what happens once you get there?   Richard Taylor is joined by John McNertney, Founder of Green Ocean Global Advisors, to unpack the realities of relocating from the US to Portugal. John has lived the journey himself. After moving from San Francisco to Lisbon during the pandemic, he now helps American expats, retirees, and internationally minded families navigate cross-border financial planning, US expat taxes, residency options, and long-term wealth management while living abroad.   Together, Richard and John explore why Portugal has become such a hotspot for Americans, what's changed politically and financially in recent years, and why so many expats are now thinking seriously about building a life and a financial foundation outside the United States.   The conversation gets into the practical detail that most people miss before they move: the difference between the Portugal Golden Visa and the D7 visa, the financial traps Americans fall into with PFICs, trusts, IRAs, and cross-border investment structures, and why proper planning before the move can save years of stress and significant money later on.   Richard and John also explore the emotional reality of expat life, including integration, language learning, culture shock, and why living abroad fundamentally changes the way people think about money, opportunity, and freedom.   Whether you're seriously considering a move to Portugal, researching second residency options, or simply curious why so many Americans are looking overseas right now, this episode offers a grounded and honest look at the opportunities and challenges of modern expat life. --  Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

I've been sitting with a thought this week that I can't stop thinking about: transformation requires transparency. You cannot have one without the other.We all know too well the toxic cycle of sneaking, hiding, avoiding, and disregarding how much our drinking is impacting us, mostly from the inside. If you truly want to transform your relationship with alcohol you need to start getting honest and be transparent.Additionally, I'm sharing what came up on a recent Q+A, the moment when every woman on the call recognized that she was using alcohol to solve an emotional problem. They knew it. They could name it. And yet knowing it and actually being able to sit with the discomfort instead of reaching for a drink, that's a completely different skill.In this episode I talk about the impact of staying hidden and the 3 things that might make transformation possible for you.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You know what to do but you're not doing it and you can't figure out why You've tried cutting back, taking breaks, making rules and nothing has stuck permanently You recognize that you drink to take the edge off or unwind but you haven't been able to stop You feel like you're doing the work but something is still missing You're tired of hiding this from the people you love and from yourself You're ready to stop managing your drinking and actually transform your relationship with it 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. She helps high-achieving women get to the root of why they drink and change their relationship with alcohol from the inside out — without white-knuckling it or relying on willpower.

Despite our best efforts, the World Cup is happening again, and it's happening here. Though we were able to put it off for 400+ episodes, it's finally time for us to do some winter holiday songs about the so-called beautiful game. Ian, in particular, has a lot of say. First up, we hear "Three Lions (It's Coming Home for Christmas)" by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds, a 2022 holiday version of their 1996 hit. Then it's "Star of Lisbon" by Celtic FC (I guess), a holiday song that is, in a rare event on our show, not really about the holidays and ALSO just barely a song. The ranking music in this episode is the theme to "Taskmaster" as performed by David Baddiel.

Portugal is a fascinating country, but there is so much more to discover beyond Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve.In this episode, I'm joined by Portugal travel expert Julie Fox of Julie Dawn Fox in Portugal, who has called Portugal home for nearly 20 years. Julie shares how she ended up moving from the UK to Portugal, why the country immediately felt like home, and what has kept her there ever since.Together we explore some of Portugal's lesser-known destination — from charming riverside towns and medieval villages to beautiful natural areas filled with walking trails and stunning scenery. Along the way, Julie introduces us to places such as Ponte de Lima, Buçaco National Forest, Marvão, Alcobaça, Monchique, Penha Garcia, and several coastal communities that offer a quieter and more authentic experience of Portugal.We also discuss Portugal's only national park — Peneda-Gerês National Park, scenic hiking trails (Julie is a keen hiker), and practical tips for travelers who want to venture beyond the country's biggest cities. Julie shares advice on the best time to visit, whether a rental car is worth it, and how to make the most of Portugal's incredible mix of history, culture, nature, and outdoor adventure.If you enjoy slower travel, spending time outdoors, discovering charming small towns, and getting beyond the usual stops, this episode will inspire you to explore a different side of fascinating Portugal.Want to chat more about Portugal?Send me an email at Lynne@WanderYourWay.com.In this episode:1:32: Introducing Julie Fox4:24: Julie's travel story10:21: Lisbon & Porto16:27: North Portugal: Ponte de Lima20:09: Peneda-Gerês National Park23:45: Central Portugal: Buçaco National Forest28:36: Eastern Border: Penha Garcia32:39: Central: Alcobaça38:09: Moving South: Alentejo Region49:10: Algarve Region: Monchique & Alvor57:12: Additional hiking1:02:21: Travel tips plus a few more spots1:13:13: Wrapping it upImportant links:Julie Dawn Fox in PortugalVisit PortugalWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesVuori ★ Support this podcast ★

"On first listen to this field recording of Lisbon's tram (elétrico), I was struck by the prominence of a musical note contained in the hum of the system's wires. This ghostly tone resonates like a singing bowl as the tram and its passengers navigate the city's narrow, hilly streets. I imagined it as the centrepiece of a film score, and this is the result."Lisbon tram reimagined by Anne Pope.

After a long and eventful trip in Lisbon, one of the final activities I did was ride the famous 28 tram passing through the narrow corridors of the city with the wooden windows down, reminiscing on the streets trekked and the landmarks of the city before embarking on the journey home. Until next time. Recorded in Lisbon, Portugal by Andrew Ramsey.

Edgar Award–winning novelist Chris Pavone on creating tension that never lets up, editing a book to make it bigger rather than just better, and turning a single apartment building into a portrait of a whole city. We discuss Why every book has to be one clear thing before it can be anything else. How two decades of editing other people's books prepares you to write your own. The offhand note from a legendary editor that quietly transformed a debut, and why the vaguest feedback can be the most useful. What it means to edit a book to make it bigger, not just to make it less bad. Why tension, not speed, is what truly keeps a reader turning pages. A counterintuitive case for telling readers what's coming on page one, then making them wait for it. How to keep generating questions and withholding answers without ever feeling coy. The one-page document worth months of tinkering before a single chapter gets written. What turns a story set in a city into a genuine portrait of that city. When to separate your hopes from your expectations, and what success can actually look like for a working novelist.

Send us Fan MailAn algorithm can erase years of audience-building in a second, and you don't even get a phone number to call. From the floor of NFC Summit in Lisbon, we walk and talk with Lisa Gibbons, Head of Marketing at MeWe, about what it takes to build privacy-first social media that people actually want to use and creators can actually trust.We get specific about how MeWe approaches no tracking, no targeted algorithms, and user control and why that changes community growth. Instead of being “fed” a worldview, you intentionally join groups and meet like-minded people, the way social networking used to feel. That shift comes with real trade-offs: marketing without surveillance data is harder, but it pushes brands back toward grassroots community building, product-led growth, and referrals grounded in genuine value.Then we move into creator economics and Web3 social network tooling that aims to replace vanity metrics. We talk tipping, integrated wallets, boosting, and minting groups as NFTs for verified ownership and portability, plus the idea behind “the death of the like button.” Finally, we zoom out to what marketers should measure instead of likes and followers, how trust is built through listening, and where AI can help without flattening your voice into generic content.This episode was recorded at NFC Summit (Lisbon) on June 5, 2026.

“That kind of put soccer on my radar as a sport. I saw how deeply it meant to people, in a way I didn't appreciate prior to that. And then I was in London when the World Cup began, and I saw the opening match — Argentina and Cameroon, with Cameroon winning in an upset. Just the whole spectacle of it gave me an appreciation for the game.” — Brian Bunk, on Ireland, Italia '90, and the moment everything changed Not long now. Only seven days until the World Cup begins. Just enough time to read Brian D. Bunk's new The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport. History isn't Bunk with Brian. He looks a bit like Elton John, which is appropriate given that old Rocket Man was chairman of Watford and bankrolled the tiny English club to almost winning the league. Pop stars like Ed Sheeran (Ipswich) and Robert Plant (Wolves) love football, Bunk notes. Probably because it reminds them of where they came from. Bunk's thesis is that soccer's global dominance is not accidental. Born in the industrial communities of nineteenth-century England, the game gave workers a new identity, new evidence of their collective power, proof they'll never walk alone. That same logic explains why middle-aged men all over America religiously gather at their local bars to watch English teams with strange names like Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Such is religion in our globalised post-industrial age. “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that,” the great Liverpool manager Bill Shankly quipped. That's the shortest of short histories of football. What the working-class Shankly meant was that it gives us social meaning — which is, indeed, more historically significant than the life or death of a single individual. Or even God. Football saves our souls, Brian Bunk concurs with Bill Shankly. Enjoy the World Cup. Five Takeaways •       Soccer Was Born in Industrial Communities for a Reason: The game emerged in industrial Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century not by accident but because industrialisation had shattered traditional community life. Mass migration to cities, technological disruption, the loss of familiar rhythms — all created a need for new kinds of identity and belonging. Soccer filled that need. It gave factory workers a team to follow, a ground to gather at, a shared identity that transcended ethnic and class lines. Bunk's argument: this community function is baked into the game itself, which is why it has replicated across every culture it has touched. •       Why Americans Love the Premier League: Bunk identifies the 1990s as the pivotal decade for American soccer. The 1994 World Cup on home soil. The women's World Cup. The formation of MLS. The arrival of the FIFA video game. The Premier League broadcasting deals with ESPN and Fox. All of these combined and snowballed. Add to that the NFL owners investing in English clubs, the celebrity ownership wave (Ryan Reynolds, Elton John), and the cultural footprint of shows like Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham. The result: a generation of Americans for whom following the Premier League is a primary source of community. •       Maradona: All the Contradictions of Football in One Man: Asked which historical match he would most want to attend, Bunk chooses Mexico City, June 1986: Argentina vs England. Not for the Hand of God goal — which was cheating — but for the second goal, the one where Maradona picked up the ball in his own half, went past five English players, and scored what is generally considered the greatest goal in the history of the game. Bryon Butler's BBC radio commentary: “turning like a little eel.” Andrew's verdict: if any single figure captures all the genius, joy, turbulence, and tragedy of football, it is Maradona. •       The World Cup Returns to North America: In seven days, the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — the first time the tournament has returned to North America since the USA hosted in 1994. The timing of Bunk's book is deliberate. Soccer is more popular in America than at any point in history, and the home World Cup is the event that could push it into the first tier of American sports culture. The Premier League, MLS, women's soccer, and now the World Cup: the game's US footprint is larger than it has ever been. •       Andrew's Game: Tottenham vs Benfica, April 1962: Andrew's own fantasy match, offered unprompted at the end: the first leg of the 1962 European Cup semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Benfica at the Est00e1dio da Luz in Lisbon on March 20, 1962, with Eusebio and Jimmy Greaves on the same pitch. Spurs lost 320131 on the night, went out 420132 on aggregate. Two clear penalties not given. Andrew's conclusion: had Spurs won that match, the history of European football — and possibly his own life — would have been different. He notes that he has a son, and that he should have called him Jimmy. About the Guest Brian D.

In 2001, Portugal decriminalised the possession and use of all illicit drugs. It was a move designed to mitigate the country's public health crisis, which at the time meant Portugal had one of the worst rates of overdose deaths in Europe, as well as the highest rate of HIV among drug users. Whilst drugs remained illegal, users did not receive a criminal record but were instead referred to rehabilitation and treatment programmes. It was an approach that proved so successful, that it has remained in place for a quarter of a century. But just over 10 years after its introduction, Portugal's drugs policy started to come under strain as the country's economic crisis and subsequent austerity measures led to budget cuts for drug services. More recently the rising cost of living has diverted people's attention from investment in this field. On top of this, the trafficking of cocaine and newer substances into the country along with changing demographics is putting decriminalisation under strain.

What does yoga actually mean? If you answered 'union,' Harmony and Russell have a fascinating surprise for you. In this deeply rich conversation with Sanskrit scholar and Ashtanga teacher Zoë  Slatoff, the trio explores the ancient philosophical roots beneath the practices many of us do every day. Zoë is the author of Yogavataranam: The Translation of Yoga, A New Approach to Sanskrit, Associate Director of the Yoga Studies MA program at Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles), and a PhD candidate whose dissertation may permanently change the way you think about what yoga is for. The conversation moves from Zoë 's early years in Brooklyn and a pivotal Rodney Yee VHS tape, to engineering studies at the elite Cooper Union, to teaching 16 yoga classes a week in New York City, to the magic of Lakshmi Puram in Mysore before the internet existed. It arrives, finally, at the big philosophical question at the heart of her dissertation: how did yoga go from meaning separation to meaning union? What You'll Learn in This Episode Why "yoga" in the Yoga Sutras means separation—not union—and how Advaita Vedanta changed everything The role of the Upadesha Sahasri (attributed to Shankaracharya) in bridging dualism and non-duality How Pattabhi Jois used to quote ancient Vedantic texts every single day in conference in Lakshmi Puram Why the neti neti practice ('not this, not that') is a powerful tool for modern meditators How Zoe began her Sanskrit journey in Mysore and transformed it into a published textbook and academic career What it means to teach Sanskrit in a way that actually serves yoga practitioners (not classical scholars) The magic—and the chaos—of traveling to India without the internet, using hand-drawn maps and STD phone boxes Why Zoe believes dualism and non-duality are ultimately describing the same thing, just from different angles Guest Bio: Zoë  Slatoff Zoë  Slatoff is a Sanskrit scholar, longtime Ashtanga yoga practitioner and teacher, and author of Yogavataranam: The Translation of Yoga—a groundbreaking Sanskrit grammar textbook designed specifically for yoga practitioners who want to read the texts that inform their practice. She holds a master's degree from Columbia University in Asian Languages and Cultures, is completing her PhD at Lancaster University, and currently serves as Associate Director (and incoming Director) of the Yoga Studies MA program at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

The panel return on this edition to discuss Tottenham Hotspur closing in on the signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, with both deals now agreed in principle as Roberto De Zerbi's rebuild gathers pace in North London. We also reflect on the news that Tottenham Hotspur have ‘pulled out' of the race to sign Joao Palhinha. Spurs' buy option expires on Monday, and Sporting CP are moving ahead with the deal. Talks with Bayern Munich are expected to follow. Palhinha impressed on loan at Spurs and has expressed a desire to stay, with the London club holding a €30 million purchase option. Sporting want to bring the 30-year-old back to Lisbon, where he began his career. The midfielder is willing to take a significant pay cut to rejoin his boyhood club, and a broad understanding with the player is said to be in place. A new loan move for Luka Vuskovic to Hamburger SV is apparently not a current option avaliable. The Croatian has two options: Long-term contract extension with high salary. A move to one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Talks are ongoing over the player's future. Luka Vuskovic has revealed his Tottenham future will not be decided until after the World Cup. We discuss what the best next step is for the youngster. Tottenham Hotspur are expected to strengthen their attack this summer, and a new report suggests that Marcus Rashford could become an option. Spurs have reportedly shown interest in signing Marcus Rashford this summer after a 28-goal contribution season with Barcelona, during which he scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists. We debate whether the Club could entice him into coming to the club and whether Spurs can get the best out of him. Finally we close on the news that Spurs have launched an internal review into last season. An internal review has been ongoing since the appointment of Dan Lewindon as Performance Director from Manchester City. This comes after he found significant challenges within Spurs. He joined the Club one day before Thomas Frank was sacked. We reflect on whether the Club will take the learnings from last season and put them into action in both the upcoming window in addition to decisions made both off/on the pitch.

What's brewing today, Communitea? ☕️ Pride Month 2026 is officially here, and your favorite Aunteas are kicking it off with the ultimate special guest: the hilarious and unfiltered Trey Sherman from the Just Press Play podcast!   In this episode, we are diving deep into what happens when the internet turns a 10-second clip of your life into a global debate. From Trey's viral CBS layoff video addressing corporate diversity rollbacks, to his legendary "no water for hookups" TikTok that divided social media, we are breaking down the reality of internet fame, boundaries, and keeping your peace.   In this episode, we discuss: *

Entirely unreleased, undeniably funky techno. Charles Accarisi, AKA Chlär, treats techno like a science. From his earliest days as an audio engineer, the Lisbon-via-Switzerland artist has approached techno with the precision of a seasoned experimentalist, dissecting our love of listening to kick drums in dark, sweaty clubs down to its very bones. Before launching his label, Primal Instinct, in 2023, he dug deep, building its foundation on neuroscience studies exploring syncopation and bass frequencies. Yet, for all its academic rigor, Accarisi's music remains incredibly funky. You can hear this endless pursuit of groove in his DJ sets. His productions flit across the techno continuum with similar versatility. One minute, as half of Funk Assault, he's flipping a Beastie Boys vocal into a 140-BPM weapon; the next, he aims straight for the head, trading peak-time bacchanalia for the haunted hypnotism of the afterhours. RA 1041 is all of this and more. Composed entirely of unreleased tracks, it delivers 70 minutes of heads-down techno in its purest form. It's heavy and dark, for sure, but undeniably swung, seamlessly bridging dub techno and sweat-inducing hardgroove throwbacks. This is contemporary techno synthesized by a master chemist.

Have you ever said "I just want to be take it or leave it about alcohol"?I hear this all the time. And every time I do, something in me cringes.In this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why this phrase bothers me — and why making it your goal might actually be keeping you stuck."Take it or leave it" sounds like freedom. But when I hear it, what I picture is someone standing in the moment — at a party, at the end of a hard day, deciding, on the spot, whether they want a drink or not.And for women who over-drink, in-the-moment deciding is exactly where everything falls apart. This is not a good strategy.The other thing that bothers me about it? It lets you skip the real work. If the goal is just to feel casual about alcohol, you never have to ask the harder question — why are you drinking in the first place?In this episode you'll learn:• Why "take it or leave it" is naive for women who over-drink• How in-the-moment deciding around alcohol keeps you stuck• Why alcohol always has a charge when it's still doing a job for you• What's really underneath most women's drinking: suppressed emotions, exhaustion, old pain, resentment• What the actual path to ease looks like, and how you get there.The feeling you're reaching for is real. Women get there. But you don't aim at it directly. You earn it by understanding yourself first.About Angela: Angela Mascenik is a certified life coach and stop over-drinking coach who has helped thousands of high-achieving women change their relationship with alcohol — without labels, shame, or swearing off alcohol forever.

I was watching a show called Legends the other night and one of the characters said something that stopped me cold. "Hindsight is helpful but it shows up too late." I had to pause it. Because that is one of the most accurate things I've ever heard. You already know what's coming. You've known for years. You can tell yourself the whole story the next morning, exactly what led up to it, where the warning signs were, the moment you knew. The problem is that clarity always shows up after. In this episode I'm breaking down why hindsight keeps failing you and how to take what you already know about your patterns and turn it into foresight you can use before the moment, not after. Because you are not starting from zero. You have years of data. You know your triggers. You know your high-risk times. You know how Thursday nights feel. This episode is about putting that knowledge to work earlier. This episode is for you if: You keep breaking promises to yourself around alcohol and can't figure out whyYou know your patterns but still can't stop them in the momentYou've been trying to drink less for years and feel like you're missing somethingYou want something practical you can use this week.
