European Nights returns as Rog and Rory Smith look ahead to the second legs of the Champions League knockout playoff round. They begin in Lisbon, where alleged racist abuse directed at Vinícius Júnior during Real Madrid's game against Benfica led to a stoppage and sparks a wider conversation about accountability, institutional response, and whether football is doing enough to protect its players. Then it's on to Istanbul, where Galatasaray's emphatic win over Juventus spotlights Turkish spending power and deepens concerns about the broader state of Italian football. Finally, they turn to the Europa Conference League, where Crystal Palace were held to a draw by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Oliver Glasner's call for fans to “stay humble” becomes part of the conversation after the first leg. Plus, Rory delivers his latest continental culinary recommendation from Istanbul.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Arsenal made unwanted history this weekend, becoming the first side in Premier League history to surrender a two-goal lead against a team starting the day in the relegation zone. Wolves fought back from 2–0 down to claim a crucial point, a result that has thrown the title race wide open. With Manchester City now just five points behind, with a game in hand, the question has to be asked: do Arsenal have the experience and resilience required to go all the way? Elsewhere in Europe, there were deeply troubling scenes during Benfica's match involving Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni. After scoring a superb goal, Vinícius Júnior was subjected to alleged racial abuse. The incident has once again raised urgent questions about racism in football and why meaningful progress remains so slow. Gary, Alan and Micah reflect on why this continues to happen in the modern game and also discuss the reaction after the match, including disappointing comments from José Mourinho that have sparked further debate.

Full Text of Readings Friday after Ash Wednesday Lectionary: 221 The Saint of the day is Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto's Story Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese shepherd children from Aljustrel, received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria, near Fátima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. At that time, Europe was involved in an extremely bloody war. Portugal itself was in political turmoil, having overthrown its monarchy in 1910; the government disbanded religious organizations soon after. At the first appearance, Mary asked the children to return to that spot on the thirteenth of each month for the next six months. She also asked them to learn to read and write and to pray the rosary “to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.” They were to pray for sinners and for the conversion of Russia, which had recently overthrown Czar Nicholas II and was soon to fall under communism. Up to 90,000 people gathered for Mary's final apparition on October 13, 1917. Less than two years later, Francisco died of influenza in his family home. He was buried in the parish cemetery and then re-buried in the Fátima basilica in 1952. Jacinta died of influenza in Lisbon in 1920, offering her suffering for the conversion of sinners, peace in the world, and the Holy Father. She was re-buried in the Fátima basilica in 1951. Their cousin Lúcia dos Santos, became a Carmelite nun and was still living when Jacinta and Francisco were beatified in 2000; she died five years later. Pope Francis canonized the younger children on his visit to Fátima to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first apparition–May 13, 2017. The shrine of Our Lady of Fátima is visited by up to 20 million people a year. Reflection The Church is always very cautious about endorsing alleged apparitions, but it has seen benefits from people changing their lives because of the message of Our Lady of Fátima. Prayer for sinners, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and praying the rosary—all these reinforce the Good News Jesus came to preach.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
On todays episode, Patrick and Hayden take a look at the Champions League Knockout play-offs. We start in Lisbon, where Benfica kept Real Madrid at arm's length for long stretches before one moment of elite quality decided it. It was low event, tightly controlled, and it raises the same balance questions that still sit over Madrid. Then it's Galatasaray pulling Juventus apart. Weston McKennie leads the line for Juve, while Victor Osimhen does what he always does — finding shots from nowhere and turning messy phases into goals. From there, we head to Norway, where Bodø/Glimt beat Inter Milan by doing far more than riding a big moment. The pressing was coordinated, the blindside runs were constant, and Inter never really found control. This was structural, not random. We also look at Paris Saint-Germain overwhelming AS Monaco, creating chances at an absurd rate, and whether Atlético Madrid are actually controlling games or just surviving stretches against Club Brugge.

How many times have you tried to “just drink less”… only to end up right back where you started? In this episode, I'm talking about the hard but freeing truth behind repeated failed attempts at moderation — and the thinking patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in the cycle of overdrinking. If you've ever told yourself: • “I'll only drink on weekends.” • “I'll switch to wine.” • “I just need better rules.” • “This time will be different.” …this episode is for you. We're diving into the disordered thinking that protects alcohol instead of protecting you — including moving goalposts, alcohol amnesia, the “just one more try” loop, and the illusion of control that keeps you negotiating instead of deciding. No shame here, just clarity. You'll learn: • How to recognize when moderation isn't working for you • Why your brain keeps convincing you to try again • The difference between perseverance and avoidance • When it might be time to stop managing your drinking and make a clear decision If you're tired of thinking about alcohol all the time…tired of starting over…tired of proving you “should” be able to control it… This Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Podcast episode is a conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves.

On this episode, Alex sits down with Martin Benes to discuss the shocking incident in Lisbon's Champions League, where Vinícius Jr. confronted a racial slur on the pitch after a Benfica player allegedly called him a monkey, causing the match to be temporarily halted under UEFA's anti-racism protocol.

The 2026 SBC Summit Canada has a new moniker, a new date and some new topics to be discussed. So, the folks in charge of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming figured the timing was appropriate to bring back SBC senior marketing guy Dennis Algreen. Algreen joined host Steve McAllister from London to set the table for this year's gathering of the Canadian gaming industry in the city below Malton, set for May 19-21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. We spoke with Algreen about another busy year for SBC, which also operates conferences in Rio de Janeiro, Malta, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Lisbon, about the topics to be discussed in Toronto. The summit's dedicated conference agenda will feature three stages, each designed to reflect the key forces shaping Canada's gaming landscape in 2026. Across two days, the program will cover leadership strategy in sports betting and casino, affiliate and advertising models, cybersecurity, land-based and lottery operations, player protection, and payments and compliance. Algreen also addressed the impact of the incoming open and competitive gaming market in Alberta on the Canadian summit, and the opportunity for the Toronto event to bring together legal operators and suppliers, provincial lottery and gaming corporations and First Nations gaming businesses and regulators. Gaming News Canada is a partner of SBC for the Canadian conference, and we're offering below a special discount to register for the May rendezvous. Hosted on Acast.

6,000+ #BVLOS flights. 50 miles of FAA-designated #UAS corridor. A 450-square-mile digital #airspace ecosystem. At Syracuse Airport, NUAIR proves that manned and unmanned aircraft can co-exist safely in one of the most complex airspaces in the US: “If someone's operating without remote ID in a critical area such as the terminal area of the airport, we can see their location, the hand controller and the drone — and tell local authorities that something needs to be done about it,” said John Gustafson, Director of Product Development and Technology at NUAIR. NUAIR isn't just visualising airspace; they're enforcing it. With radar-powered #surveillance, passive RF detection, and a fully cloud-based interface; they're making scalable, safe BVLOS #drone operations a reality in the US today. At CANSO's Airspace World 2025 in Lisbon, our Co-founder and CEO Eszter Kovács interviewed NUAIR's John Gustafson to explore how their FAA-approved infrastructure is redefining drone #commercialisation in New York State and beyond. Listen the full interview to learn how NUAIR is powering medical deliveries, military testing, and impactful #UTM services through a real-world drone corridor.

In this episode, I'm joined by Grammy-winning keyboardist, composer, producer, and arranger Jason Miles - an artist whose legacy spans decades of music-making across jazz, R&B, and beyond, and whose work has helped define the sound and direction of multiple musical eras, working alongside some of the most influential voices in modern music like Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn and Marcus Miller, to name a few.No less than Roberta Flack said about him, “Jason Miles has raised the level of excellence for the musicians who have had the good fortune of working with him, myself included. He has enriched the lives of millions of people.” And Miles Davis, in his 1991 autobiography, labelled Jason a genius - not a term he threw around!Jason and I met here in Lisbon, and what started as a conversation became a very honest and enriching exchange for me. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with him.This podcast explores the journey behind the music - the decisions, mindset, and lessons that shape a sustainable creative life, especially in today's DIY landscape. We begin our interview by talking about what Luther Vandross understood about music that most musicians never quite grasp.From there, Jason shares the biggest lessons he's learned across his outstanding career — we explore creative decision-making, trust on the business side of music, and his perspective on today's jazz landscape compared to the past, as well as Jason's 2026 musical projects.This conversation is about practises that still guide artists today. If you're an independent musician looking for clarity and perspective, I am sure you'll find a lot of inspiration in hearing Jason's stories, reflections and guiding principles.Jason Miles - Links:WebsiteThe Extraordinary Journey of Jason MilesBandcampTable of contents:00:00 Intro03:29 Luther Vandross's integrity & intention14:26 Advice for DIY artists: listen & learn21:16 Why decision-making matters22:19 Trust in the business side of music23:11 Dealing with rejection26:11 Today's jazz landscape28:27 Jason Miles' 2026 projectsAs you listened, what reflection stayed with you the most?Let's talk about today's episode:
This episode is about the Portuguese sweet delicacy, Pastéis de Nata.Picture this: You're wandering the sun-drenched streets of Lisbon, the air thick with the salty whisper of the Tagus River and the distant chime of tram bells. Suddenly, a heavenly scent stops you in your tracks—crisp, buttery pastry mingling with warm, creamy custard, dusted with cinnamon that dances like autumn leaves in the breeze. This is the allure of pastéis de nata, Portugal's iconic custard tarts, a treat so irresistible that it has seduced palates from monastery kitchens to global cafes. But these little golden gems are more than just a snack; they're a slice of history, a cultural emblem, and a culinary adventure waiting to be baked in your own oven. Let's embark on a flavorful journey through their story.Our tale begins in the early 18th century, nestled in the grand halls of the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, a riverside parish in Lisbon. Back then, Catholic monks weren't just devoted to prayer; they were inadvertent innovators in the kitchen. With vast quantities of egg whites used for starching their habits (and even clarifying wines), the leftover yolks piled up like forgotten treasures. Resourceful as ever, the monks transformed these yolks into sweet confections, blending them with sugar, milk, and flour to create custardy delights. This wasn't unique to Jerónimos—Portugal's convents were hotbeds for such "conventual sweets," where egg-based recipes proliferated to avoid waste. But it was here, amid the ornate Manueline architecture now a UNESCO World Heritage site, that the pastel de nata truly took shape.Fast-forward to the turbulent 1820s. The Liberal Revolution swept through Portugal, dissolving religious orders and threatening the closure of monasteries. Desperate to sustain themselves, the Jerónimos monks began selling their custard tarts at a nearby sugar refinery. It was a hit—locals couldn't get enough of the flaky, puff-pastry shells cradling that velvety, slightly caramelized filling. By 1834, the monastery shuttered its doors for good, but the recipe didn't vanish into oblivion. Instead, it was sold to the refinery owners, who opened the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém in 1837. To this day, this bustling bakery churns out thousands of tarts daily, using a secret formula known only to a handful of master bakers who mix it behind locked doors. Legend has it that the original recipe has remained unchanged for nearly two centuries, a testament to the tarts' timeless appeal.From these humble monastic origins, pastéis de nata evolved into a national treasure, weaving themselves into the fabric of Portuguese life. In Portugal, they're not reserved for special occasions; they're an everyday indulgence, savored warm from the oven with a sprinkle of cinnamon and powdered sugar, often paired with a strong bica (espresso) at local pastelarias. They symbolize resilience and ingenuity, born from necessity yet elevated to artistry. During Portugal's Age of Discoveries, spices like cinnamon (traded from Asia) added an exotic flair, making the tarts a microcosm of the country's seafaring heritage. Today, they're cultural ambassadors, exported to former colonies and beyond—think Hong Kong's dan tat or Macau's po tat, where Portuguese sailors introduced the recipes centuries ago. In Lisbon, queues snake out of Pastéis de Belém, where tourists and locals alike partake in this ritual, biting into layers of history with every crunch. Festivals celebrate them, and they're even protected under EU law as a traditional specialty, ensuring their authenticity endures. For the Portuguese, a pastel de nata isn't just food; it's a warm hug from the past, a sweet reminder of home in a fast-changing world.More PodcastsFlavors + Knowledge Newsletter Free SubscribeSimval Media, USA

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I break down the 3 emotional phases of change that almost everyone experiences when trying to change their relationship with alcohol and why most women think they're failing when they're actually right on track. You'll learn why motivation and excitement don't last, why the middle phase of resistance and fatigue is where most people give up, and how real, lasting change happens through integration and identity shift, not willpower. This episode will help you: Understand why Dry January (or any break from alcohol) often feels harder toward the end Recognize whether you're in motivation, resistance, or integration right now Stop judging yourself for feeling tired, bored, or frustrated Learn why white-knuckling doesn't work and what actually does Build self-trust and emotional resilience without labels, shame, or rigid rules If you've ever thought “I can't wait for this to be over,” “Why is this suddenly so hard?” or “Maybe I'm just not cut out for this,” this episode will help you see what's really happening and why it matters. This conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves. Ready for deeper support?

“Predictive coding offers a powerful lens for understanding psychosis…”Dr. Marta Garrido is a professor at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, where she leads the Cognitive Neuroscience and Computational Psychiatry Laboratory and directs the Cognitive Neuroscience Hub. She is also a research program lead at the Graeme Clark Institute. With a background in engineering physics from the University of Lisbon and a PhD in neuroscience from University College London under the mentorship of Professor Karl Friston, Marta has become a leading figure in understanding how the brain processes predictions and surprise. Her research spans mismatch negativity, predictive coding theory, dynamic causal modeling, and the development of cutting-edge neuroimaging technologies, including Australia's first optically pumped MEG system.In this episode, Peter and Marta explore the elegant framework of predictive coding and its implications for understanding psychiatric conditions like psychosis. They discuss how the brain generates predictions about sensory input and how disruptions in these mechanisms may contribute to symptoms of mental illness. Marta shares her journey from engineering to neuroscience, her transformative PhD experience, and the challenges of building a new MEG system from the ground up. The conversation covers fascinating topics including mismatch negativity as a prediction error signal, subcortical shortcuts for processing threatening stimuli, the phenomenon of blindsight, and the critical importance of mentorship in academic careers. Marta also offers candid reflections on being a woman in neuroscience and her vision for the future of computational psychiatry.We hope you enjoy this episode!Chapters:00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Marta Guerrero04:46 - Journey from Engineering to Neuroscience10:39 - Understanding Predictive Coding and Bayesian Inference18:34 - Implications of Predictive Coding in Schizophrenia27:08 - Advancements in Brain Imaging Techniques36:31 - Exploring Blindsight and Subcortical Shortcuts44:14 - Reverse Engineering the Brain: Challenges and Ambitions51:23 - The Journey of Developing Optically Pumped Magnetometers01:00:29 - Promoting Women in Neuroscience and Leadership ChallengesWorks mentioned:15:59 - Randeniya et al.

Grásleppan hefur verið veidd og nýtt gegnum tíðina einkum og sér í lagi vegna gómsætra hrognanna sem eru eftirsótt víða um heim. Áður fyrr var aflanum að stærstum hluta hent eftir að hrognin höfðu verið hirt. Í seinni tíð hefur grásleppan til dæmis verið seld heilfryst til Kína þar sem hún þykir mikið lostæti. Spegill fortíðar - Silfur framtíðar er heiti á viðburði sem verður í Breiðfirðingarbúð á fimmtudaginn.

Stofnfundur félags um Gefum íslensku séns var haldinn á Ísafirði í síðustu viku. Samnefndu verkefni, Gefum íslensku séns, var hleypt af stokkunum árið 2023 og hefur það markmið að auka vitund fólks í nærumhverfinu um hvað máltileinkun innflytjenda á íslensku felur í sér. Leitast er við að virkja fólk til að sinna hlutverki almannakennara, sem sagt snýr það ekki aðallega að þeims sem eru að læra íslensku, heldur frekar þeim sem kunna íslensku. Ólafur Guðsteinn Kristjánsson, aðjúnkt við HÍ og nýkjörinn stjórnarmaður í félaginu, var á línunni og sagði okkur frekar frá stofnfundinum, félaginu og verkefninu. Lesandi vikunnar í Mannlega þættinum í þetta sinn var Svanhildur Óskarsdóttir rannsóknarprófessor á menningarsviði hjá Árnastofnun. Hún sagði okkur frá því hvað hún hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hana í gegnum tíðina.

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
This week, I speak with Cathal McNaughton, a well-respected international photojournalist and Pulitzer Prize winner. We discuss his biographical film I Dream in Photos, his recent photography in Ukraine that focuses on ordinary life continuing alongside the war brought to their country, and the role family plays in shaping how and why he photographs. Along the way, Cathal shares a personal discovery that has refocused attention on him, after a career spent observing others. It becomes a conversation about self-understanding and what it means to keep making photographs when the relationship with the camera itself is being questioned. From the mailbag, Richard Rawlings pairs photographs with prose as walking helps him appreciate nature, Marilyn Davies nudges anyone still circling a 365 feature, to just start, even if February becomes the starting line, and Jaki G heads celebrates Lisbon's street photo festival, and walking with the celebrated Phil Penman who swapped his adopted New York for the Portuguese capital. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

"The naming of non-State torture is crucial for women's healing"At FiLiA2025 , Linda MacDonald, Mariane da Cunha, Elizabeth Gordon and Jeanne Sarson presented a panel on non-State Torture. An idea that emerged from this panel was the creation of a Network Against Non-State Torture (NNST), with its official launch on February 3 and a global conference planned in Lisbon in November.This podcast explores the crime and human rights violation of Non-State Torture (NST), committed by non-state actors, often within criminal informal networks. These include families, as well as networks involved in human trafficking, prostitution, pornography, gangs, and organised crime.#nonstatetorture #womenunsilenced #NST #NNST
Ria Xi is a Chinese-born ultrarunner attempting to become the first human to run across Asia and Europe on the Silk Road—20,000 kilometers from Vladivostok to Lisbon. After burning out from her tech career in Silicon Valley and struggling with mental health challenges, she discovered running as a path back to meaning. Within a year, she went from barely finishing a half marathon to setting FKTs on the Via Francigena and Camino de Santiago, and becoming the first person to run Egypt's 539km Sinai Trail. In May 2026, she'll begin a 14-month journey across 17 countries, building what she calls the "Planetary Run Club"—a community-driven project centered on human connection in a dividing world.

Dear Community, This episode is a little different—in the best way.Host, Yasmeen Turayhi, hands the mic to her friend Bella Shing for an intimate, real conversation about Yasmeen's new book, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life —a practical guide to waking up from unconscious patterning and stepping into conscious authorship. Grounded in 15+ years on the personal development path and 250+ interviews on Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen distills what she's learned into 10 core Energy Codes designed to help you shift your identity, reclaim your energy, and create from coherence rather than conditioning.Together, Yasmeen and Bella explore what a “glitch” actually is: the moment you see the program running your life—and realize you don't have to keep living it. They talk about the “Matrix” as a cultural agreement built on conditional worth and performance, how people unknowingly give their power away every day, and why identity is the real engine behind long-term change. The conversation also moves into energy mastery—presence, embodiment, intuition, nervous system capacity—and why levity, play, and humor are not distractions from the sacred, but often the doorway into it.If you've ever felt like you're living on autopilot, this episode is a transmission back to your agency.In this episode, you'll learn:1. What a “glitch in the matrix” really is—and how to recognize it in your own life2. How the “Matrix” functions as a dominant cultural program built on conditional worth3. The most common ways we give our power away (and how to call it back)4. Why identity is the reason most people don't change—and how to use identity intentionally5. How intuition differs from fear (and what “nonlinear knowing” feels like)6. Why embodiment and nervous system capacity are essential for real transformation7. How karma, resonance, and energetic “accounting” shape what comes back to you8. The role of humor and play in spiritual maturity—sacred doesn't have to mean seriousAbout the book: A Glitch in the Matrix is Yasmeen's love letter to the world—an accessible, grounded framework for energy mastery, presence, and conscious creation, written for anyone ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living from inner authority.About the guest host: Bella Shing is an artist and creator living in Lisbon. In this episode, she also shares what she's building next, including her new app Daily Miracles, designed to help people track serendipity and train attention toward what's working.If this episode resonates, share it with someone you love—and let it be your reminder: your life is not a dress rehearsal.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

This week Kevin and PJ recount a tasting menu experience in Lisbon. While they fully respect the ethos of zero-waste restaurants, the lads admit that tackling fermented everything while severely hungover was not their finest moment and the very modest portion sizes did little to lift spirits.For the theme, they dive into the Brooklyn Beckham drama, sharing their thoughts, giving their two cents, and discussing how intimidating it must be to find yourself in a feud where your nemesis is, quite literally, a Spice Girl.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here
This is the final conversation from DLD. And the most optimistic - at least from a European perspective. John Thornhill, the FT's Innovation Editor and founder of Sifted, has a quite different take on Europe's tech scene from our other guests. Yes, he acknowledges, the regulatory environment is complex. And, yes, late-stage capital is thin. But Thornhill sees something the doomsayers miss: resilience. A new generation of founders isn't building “European champions” — they're building global ones. Innovation hot spots are popping up across the continent: London, Berlin, Stockholm, Tallinn, Lisbon. Paris (of all places) is enjoying a renaissance. And deep tech — biological computing, synthetic biology, materials science — may finally give Europe's research strength a viable path to commercialization.

To say that a book has changed my life sounds like a cliché. There aren't many that truly do, but Jem Bendell's Breaking Together: a Freedom Loving Response to Collapse is certainly one of them.So when I heard Jem Bendell was coming to Lisbon for the launch of the Portuguese edition of Breaking Together, I had to try to interview him. We recorded this conversation in late 2024, the day after the book launch. My angle, as usual, was personal. Beyond asking Jem about societal collapse—which he's spoken about widely elsewhere—I wanted to meet the human behind the thesis: Who is Jem Bendell? How did he become who he is? How did he get to do this important work? And what does it mean for him to live with more consciousness and wisdom, now?Guest Bio:Jem Bendell is a world-renowned scholar on the breakdown of modern societies due to environmental change. For decades he worked in Sustainable Development—as a researcher, NGO manager, professor, and consultant to businesses, political parties, and UN agencies.In 2012, he was recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and has since become one of the clearest critics of the globalist agenda on sustainable development.In 2018, after a sabbatical studying the latest climate science, he published Deep Adaptation—an academic paper that went viral and is credited to inspiring the Extinction Rebellion movement.Since then, Jem has stepped away from the sustainability industry. He published Breaking Together in 2023, moved to Bali, opened an organic farming school, became a singer-songwriter, and, in his own words, a militant mysticist.Links:* Buy Breaking Together: a Freedom Loving Response to Collapse* Buy Juntos na Rutura, the Portuguese edition of Breaking Together* Download Breaking Together for free* Subscribe to Jem Bendell's blog* Join Jem's monthly Metacrisis meetingsCredits:* Music Audio Producer & Editor: Carlos Sierra* Producer, Writer & Host: Carlota Guedes To hear more, visit www.wakingyouth.org
Journey from Montreal to various raves on the African continent with San Farafina and Hervé from Montréal's post-border interdiscipinary collective Moonshine. We explore their journey from throwing full-moon house parties in 2014 to linking up with the African diaspora around the globe, along the way building a brand, creative hub, and party institution. We hear about what's going on in Kinshasa, Abidjan, Dar es Salaam, Lisbon and beyond and learn how not even electricity cuts, high tides, police and giant insects can keep them from a party. We also discuss their relationship to Vanyfox (our guest on episode #39), the evolution of batida, the changing landscape of DJing worldwide and our run-ins with Game of Thrones characters at the rave. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.
When two generations of Lisbon's underground collide, the result is visceral, raw, and uncompromising. Scam Dust is Tiago and Shcuro – two artists channelling decades of experience into something that sounds like Detroit techno filtered through Sheffield's industrial grit with a distinctly Lisbon sensibility. Tiago, Lux Frágil resident and ‘DJ's DJ', returns from a seven-year hiatus from music. Shcuro, Paraíso co-founder of the excellent and scene documenter, breaks free from solo frustration. Living in neighbouring beach towns outside the capital – Parede and Carcavelos – they've made Gastric Pulse: saturated acid, industrial-tinged techno, and sonic dirt of the highest order. This is music built for systems, big systems. Music designed to make you move and break shit. Pure punk in electronic form. The title's a joke about acid music taken literally (see also: “Enzyme Breaks,” “Pepsin Drive”), but the music isn't playing. Felt right to ask em for a mix right? This mix captures their first session together – Bileebob, Conrad Schnitzler via Marcel Dettmann, Plastikman, Jamal Moss. Techno at the margins where things get uncomfortable. Coffee grains and Pepper X. @shcuro @simatudo
In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I sit down with former client, Megan, to talk about the year it finally clicked. She first worked with me in a 6-month group container, and later committed to a full year of private coaching — the year she became alcohol-free and stayed that way. What makes her story so powerful is that the year before, she had the same goal: to go an entire year without drinking. And she didn't make it. It wasn't until she tried again the following year that it all clicked. She shares 3 things that helped her not get overwhelmed by the big goal of going alcohol-free for so long. #1 will surprise you! And 3 things that she does in the moments she has thoughts about a drink. She also shares a story of how she coped with the stress of a long day of intense interviews.. and it's not what you would think! Megan really is an example of what is possible, with dedication, never giving up despite lots of 'failures,' and consistent support! This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules. If you want this type of support I'm excited to open up 3 spots to work with me privately that include a retreat at The Magic House in Lisbon, Portugal.

The boys are in Lisbon and as gorgeous as the city is Kevin takes a moment to criticise all the hills and cobbled roads that resulted in him falling off a Lime scooter en route to a Crossfit class. PJ reminisces on his chaotic 18th birthday party where fake IDs and stray fists were in plentiful supply. Prompted by this episode coming out on Blue Monday the lads have a discussion about made up holidays and ask why January is such a depressing month and Kevin puts forward a bid for dry January to be changed to a dry November going forward because the month is already horrendous enough as it is. They also make plans for celebrating I'm Grand Mam day which is happening on the 16th of February when the podcast celebrates 7 years in production.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
On November 1, 1755, the city of Lisbon was devastated by a terrible earthquake, and a new era of urban planning began. The reconstruction of Lisbon was, more or less, the first time that modern planners had the opportunity to transform an urban landscape and bring it into line with their vision of what the future should look like. What shifting tectonic plates did to Lisbon would, in the future, be the job of bulldozers and wrecking balls. We take that for granted now, but we shouldn't. In his new book The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World, my guest Bruno Carvalho tells two histories that our intertwined. One is the story of how histories were planned, built, or rebuilt. But the other is an intellectual history of how cities of the future were imagined. It turns out that those two stories don't intersect as often as you might assume. Bruno Carvalho is a professor at Harvard University, where he teaches courses on cities. He is also the author of Porous City: A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro.
