In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Thinker, Godless Engineer, and Kelley Laughlin tackle divine command theory, biblical atrocities, and mystical claims about reality!Andrew in NJ argues that evil is anything outside God's purpose. If God commanded murder, would that be good? The hosts challenge his inconsistent definitions and ask if he'd condemn selling daughters as slaves. When divine command becomes your moral compass, where does accountability go?James in OK claims morality requires God, not human consensus. The hosts confront him on Exodus 21:7 and his rationalization of biblical slavery. Why does God's law permit owning people as property? If God is the source of morality, why does scripture endorse cruelty?Georgi in Bulgaria presents a New Age view that God needs humans for experience and claims ancient structures like Machu Picchu prove supernatural involvement. The hosts explain the known construction methods and redirect him to Truth Wanted for alien topics. Why assume the supernatural when human ingenuity suffices?Juan in Columbia presents a panentheistic view where God is a non-materialistic basis for reality and consciousness. He struggles to clearly define his concept of God. What does it mean to say God is the basis of reality if you can't articulate what that basis is?Thank you for joining us this week!

South America cruising delivered some of the most spectacular sights I have ever experienced — but also a few costly, frustrating, and very unexpected lows. On my recent 31-night South America cruise, I filmed live updates from eight of the region's most popular cruise ports and scenic cruising days, capturing what it was really like in the moment. From leaving the ship for two and a half days to visit Machu Picchu, to standing among penguins in the remote Falkland Islands, sailing past Cape Horn, Glacier Alley and the astonishing Brüggen / Pío XI Glacier, this trip had moments that were genuinely epic. But it was not all breathtaking views and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. In this video, I also reveal the South America ports and excursions that disappointed me, surprised me for the wrong reasons, or left me questioning whether the cost and effort were really worth it, and a few ports that sounded more exciting on paper than they felt in reality. I visit and discuss Lima, Machu Picchu, Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, Ushuaia, Cape Horn and other Scenic Sailing Highlights, the Chilean Fjords, Punta Arenas, Magdalena Island, General San Martín, Puerto Montt, Coquimbo and La Serena — sharing the highs, the lows, the watch-outs, and what I would do differently next time. South America is one of the most varied and dramatic cruise regions in the world, but it is also unpredictable, expensive in places, and not always easy to get right.

Kära lyssnare. Sommarrepriserna under 2026 består av ett urval från mina Utomjordiskt-avsnitt. Det är spännande tider vi lever i, mer och mer kommer fram och upp till ytan. I sommar har Steven Spielbergs film ”Disclosure Day” premiär i Sverige, och samma vecka, den 11 juni 2026 så kommer min serie ”MINDGAP” upp på TV3. Så därför tänkte jag att utomjordiskt, oförklarligt, ufo, aliens, pyramider och annat spännande ska få vara sommarens tema i ”Så in i Själen” - Hoppas ni ska uppskatta det lika mycket som jag. Önskar er en fin sommar. Kram Agneta.Här kommer nu den andra och sista delen av ”Utomjordiskt i Peru”. Vi spelade in det har avsnittet vår sista dag i Cusco. Och vi landar i allt som vi har varit med om i området i och runt Cusco och även upplevelsen av Machu Picchu, en plats som både jag och Michael från podden ”Forntida astronauter” har drömt om att besöka. Så varmt välkomna till ”Utomjordiskt”.Få reklamfria avsnitt tidigare på Supercast: https://sainisjalen.supercast.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Planning your first trek to Peru? In this episode, Lisa shares five things she wishes she'd known before hiking to Machu Picchu, including altitude tips, what to expect in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and how to prepare for an unforgettable trek through the Andes. Whether you're planning the Laras Trek, the Inca Trail, or simply visiting Machu Picchu, these practical tips will help you make the most of your Peru adventure.

Guest BioBecki Rupp is a certified Personal Trainer and Adventure Travel Coach, and the founder of Trailblazer Wellness. Through her coaching, Becki helps travelers build the strength, stamina, and confidence they need to take on meaningful adventures without feeling overwhelmed by the physical or mental preparation. Her work is especially valuable for people preparing for big hikes, cycling trips, Camino-style journeys, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and other active travel experiences that stretch the edge of their comfort zone.Becki brings together personal training, coaching, and her own extensive adventure travel background. She has summited Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, completed the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and taken on numerous multi-day hiking and cycling trips around the world. Over the past several years, she has supported more than 100 clients preparing for adventures in 27 countries, helping them move from uncertainty to readiness so they can enjoy the journey before the journey — and the trip itself.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Becki Rupp, founder of Trailblazer Wellness, about helping travelers prepare for the adventures they have dreamed about for years. Becki explains how adventure travel coaching goes beyond simply handing someone a workout plan. For many travelers, especially those joining group trips or taking on a physically demanding itinerary, the real work involves building confidence, managing fears, staying accountable, and learning how to enjoy the experience rather than worry about holding others back.Becki shares how her own path combined a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of movement, and years of experience in fitness, coaching, and communications. From childhood memories of watching her grandparents' travel slideshows to eventually hiking iconic routes like Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, and the Camino, Becki's story reveals how travel, preparation, and personal growth can become deeply connected.Jason and Becki also explore the emotional side of adventure travel: why people worry about being last in the group, how partners and friends may not always know how to support a big travel dream, and why having someone in your corner can make the difference between merely completing a trip and truly experiencing it. Becki's approach helps travelers prepare their bodies while also reconnecting with the deeper reason they said yes to the adventure in the first place.

On my sister's birthday, I found myself thinking about one of the most transformational moments of my life, and it had nothing to do with the sunrise at Machu Picchu. After climbing that mountain in the dark, carrying everything I owned on my back, I was locked in on the destination. When my sister started uploading photos that evening, I didn't recognize a single shot. Beautiful flowers, wildlife, incredible trees. All from that same day. I had been there physically but completely absent in every other way. This episode is about the hidden cost of tunnel vision and what we miss when we only focus on where we're going. Key Takeaways Reaching a destination does not mean you experienced the journey. Tunnel vision on the goal causes you to miss the richness happening around you right now. The most transformational moments are sometimes found in reflection, not in the event itself. Your perspective determines what you actually see, not just where your eyes are pointed. Presence is a skill that must be practiced, especially when you are in pursuit mode. Action Steps At the end of your day, write down three things you noticed in your environment that had nothing to do with your to-do list. Before starting your next big pursuit, set an intention to observe at least one thing along the way that has nothing to do with the outcome. Share a meaningful memory with someone important to you today and ask what they remember from that same moment. You may be surprised by the difference. Notable Quote I had been there physically but completely absent in every other way. Those were my flowers, my trees, my wildlife. I just never saw them.

What was the trip that made you fall in love with travel? This week, John, Dayna, and Jess look back at the journeys that shaped them as travelers. They share their favorite family vacations, the couples' trips that helped them reconnect, and the destinations that surprised them most. From a groundbreaking first cruise aboard Voyager of the Seas and a European family adventure on Symphony of the Seas to a Greek anniversary cruise, a Hawaiian honeymoon, a sunrise proposal at Machu Picchu, and an unexpectedly unforgettable family trip to London, these are the experiences that became core memories. Along the way, they discuss why traveling together matters, how one trip can influence a lifetime of vacations, and why the journeys we never expect to love sometimes stay with us the longest. What trip made you fall in love with travel?

It costs $1,200 to take the Belmond Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu — roughly $1,000 more than the standard train option. So, was this luxury rail journey through the Andes an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience… or an over-hyped, over-priced way to reach the same ruins as everyone else? In this video, I reveal what the Hiram Bingham train is really like, what's included, what surprised me, what disappointed me, and whether I think it was worth the eye-watering extra cost.

What does it take to hike 26 miles at 14,000 feet with no signal, no Uber, and two of the funniest people alive? We're about to find out.  Join me as I sit down with comedy legends Bob Odenkirk and David Cross at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival to discuss their documentary Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu — a film about friendship, mortality, and what happens when Hollywood strips away and the mountain shows you who you actually are.  Plus: Why David chose Bob for this — and why Bob almost said no How Bob's heart attack during Better Call Saul gave the whole journey a different kind of weight The moment the mountain cracked them both open — and what they found on the other side Special thanks to Greenslate, Theorem Media, and Portrait for making this panel happen! Greenslate has been a longtime partner of AOP and it never gets old talking about the ways they have revolutionized production payroll and accounting for independent film. They had 22 projects at Tribeca this year and Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu was the one we chose to spotlight, via their client Left/Right. AOP SUBSTACK

Kelsey sits down with Kelly from @have.kids.will.adventure to talk about her family of 5's week-long trip to Lima, Peru in February 2026. Looking for somewhere with warmer ocean water than New England in the winter, Kelly booked Lima on points without realizing just how much there would be to do with kids.In this episode, Kelly shares why her family skipped Machu Picchu this time and instead spent the week enjoying Lima as a destination all its own. They stayed in Miraflores, took surf lessons, made chocolate at a chocolate-making class, explored the city, watched stunning sunsets, and took a big day trip for penguins, sea lions, dune buggies, and sandboarding.Kelly also shares the real-life travel moments too, including a very long bus day, a VRBO elevator/key mishap, what it was like visiting Lima with kids ages 10, 8, and 5, and why Lima surprised them in the best way.This episode is available to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kelseygravesIf you'd like to share about your trip on the podcast, email me at: kelsey@triptalespodcast.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879Mentioned in this episode:- Ride Safer Carseat Vest: https://amzn.to/49G9Ele- Machu Picchu- Miraflores- Parque Kennedy- Malecón de Miraflores (6-mile cliff top walking path)- Surfing lessons- ChocoMuseo - Chocolate Making Class- The Ballestas Islands - The Atacama Desert- Huacachina- Magic Water Circuit of the Reserve Park- Cabify = Uber- Huaca Pucllana Site Museum- Larco Museum- Park of the Legends Zoo

I abandoned my ship mid-cruise for three days to see one of the most iconic sights in the world: Machu Picchu. But after booking an eye-wateringly expensive $5,000 excursion with Holland America, I started to realise just how much could go wrong. Machu Picchu is not a simple shore excursion. It's over 300 miles inland, deep in the Andes, and getting there requires a tightly choreographed chain of flights, buses, trains, and timed entry tickets. One delay, one missed connection, or a bout of altitude sickness, and the whole costly trip could unravel. In this video, I take you along on my journey from the MS Oosterdam in Lima to the "Lost City of the Incas."

a competition," Elena finally said, her voice soft but firm.Es: "Imagina lo que podríamos descubrir si trabajamos juntos."En: "Imagine what we could discover if we worked together."Es: Carlos bajó la

In this episode, I'm sharing why taking a trip without your spouse can actually strengthen your marriage and help you reconnect with yourself. From my recent travels to Vietnam and upcoming hike to Machu Picchu, I talk about the personal growth, confidence, and friendships that can come from pursuing adventures that truly excite you. If you've ever dreamed about taking a solo trip, a girls getaway, or an adventure your partner might not be interested in, this episode will encourage you to start planning it.

We had Machu Picchu to ourselves at sunset. That part we planned. What happened on the mountain was not planned at all.Four people in our group independently saw and heard a shaman on Machu Picchu Mountain — in the mist, near the top. There was one way up and one way down. He wasn't physically there. And yet four of us saw him.This is the final Peru recap and it covers everything — the Temple of the Three Windows and its connections to ancient sites across the globe, the unexcavated jungle pyramid sitting in plain sight inside Machu Picchu, Emily sneaking out sacred temple dirt, the soul prison lakes of Ausangate that their local guide warned them never to touch, KristaLyn forging a Jupiter talisman ring and getting pulled into the clouds of Jupiter when she consecrated it, Emily's tattoos, and the moment something entered Emily's body at Sacsayhuaman and rearranged things — she hasn't had heartburn since.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL!

El mundo entero tiene los ojos puestos en el Cusco. Tras la reciente portada de National Geographic, hoy en Ayllu Podcast te cuento la verdadera historia detrás del redescubrimiento de T'aqrachullo.Desde las primeras investigaciones de las arqueólogas Alicia Quirita y Maritza Candia en los años 90, pasando por las pistas coloniales de Juan de Betanzos, hasta el increíble hallazgo del arqueólogo Dante Huallpayunca al encontrar miles de piezas de oro y plata en 2022. Además, compartimos las declaraciones del arqueólogo Emerson Pereyra, quien aclara los mitos de su tamaño frente a Machu Picchu y revela cómo se hacía el culto al agua en una meseta completamente seca.

Career coach Michelle Schafer returns to the podcast, but this time, we talk to her from the seat of her expertise as a career coach. Michelle has been on the podcast twice already. Both times we explored how she faced down adversity: once as she healed from breaking her leg, the other as she hiked to Machu Picchu in Peru. And both times, she had to draw on deep inner resources to persevere.  Today, we talk about the very difficult job market people are facing. Fewer jobs, more people looking, the encroachment of tech eradicating whole sectors of work. It's tough out there. It's an exhausting environment, and resilience is that much more important.  Relationships connect us to job opportunities, and support us as we do the shift. Michelle speaks to this and so much more in our meander: what does it take to navigate through this job market, and how can we stay positive in the process? You can find her award-winning book, "Cultivating Career Growth, Navigating Transitions with Purpose" at your local independent bookstore. And you can read about it on her website. (You can also find it on Amazon.) Michelle is just a delight to chat with; her clients are well-served by her effervescent outlook on life and vast array of support to offer them in their coaching adventure.  Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe FULL Pyramids Compilation (5 EPs in one)The show's 100th episode. What started as a milestone special turned into five full episodes, hours of debate, and one of the most spirited arguments in podcast history. Now it's all in one place.Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive headfirst into the greatest mystery in human history: Who built the Great Pyramids of Giza — and how the hell did they do it?Part 1 — The History: Before the conspiracies, lay the foundation. The Nile River, the Old Kingdom, the pharaohs, and a timeline that puts the Great Pyramid in perspective. It was built before coins, before paper, before the domestication of horses in Africa — and Cleopatra was closer in time to us than to the pyramids.Parts 2 & 3 — Sean's Episodes: Sean comes in swinging with 20 pages of things that don't add up. The Great Pyramid's near-perfect alignment with True North (off by 0.05 degrees — more precise than the Washington Monument). Pi and the Golden Ratio embedded in its dimensions. The Earth's own proportions mirrored in its geometry. Impossible 80-ton granite slabs. Sealed doors discovered by robots. Salt deposits in the Queen's Chamber. And the burning question: if it was just a tomb, where's the body?Part 4 — Eric's Episode: Eric fights back. He makes the case that mankind — skilled, organized, and wildly underestimated — built the pyramids with no alien assistance. He brings evidence: the workers' village, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, the Hoover Dam. His thesis? Human ingenuity has always defied what seems impossible.The Update: Two weeks after Episode 100 aired, news broke of a massive underground complex discovered beneath Giza using satellite radar — interconnected chambers, spiraling shafts, and cylindrical voids stretching nearly two kilometers underground. We had to come back. Everything's on the table again.History, mystery, bad diagrams, and a few things we still can't explain.

Flitterwochen in Peru – klingt nach Abenteuer, Romantik und Machu Picchu bei Sonnenaufgang. Für Tobi und seine Frau wird es eher ein Crashkurs in Durchhaltevermögen, Notfallmedizin und dem taktischen Einsatz von Elektrolytgetränken. Zwischen Hostel-WCs, Kräutertees, Quarantänezimmern (und dennoch großartigen Momenten!) erleben die beiden eine Hochzeitsreise, die sie garantiert nie vergessen werden.----------------------------------Über das Format "Weltwach Reiseflops":Niemand scheitert gern – auch nicht auf Reisen. Aber im Nachhinein betrachtet ergeben die kleinen (und etwas größeren) Pleiten und Pannen unterwegs oft die schönsten Erinnerungen – und amüsantesten Geschichten.Genau die gibt es in dieser Show: Weltwach-Moderator Erik Lorenz zelebriert mit seinen Gästen genüsslich Stories von großen Rückschlägen und kleinen Fettnäpfchen, von Zumutungen und schmerzhaft erlangten Einsichten, fernab von Instagramability und aalglatten Abenteuergeschichten. Warum? Weil ein bisschen Schadenfreude glücklich macht. Und weil sich immer wieder zeigt: Hinter der Niederlage lauern wertvolle Lektionen. So mündet auch das hingebungsvollste Jammern für gewöhnlich unweigerlich: in einer Liebeserklärung an das Reisen. Du hast einen wahnsinnig witzigen oder lehrreichen Reiseflop erlebt und möchtest uns davon erzählen? Großartig!

Rethinking Retirement: Why It's Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself Featuring Louise Olson What happens when you step away from the role that once defined you? Why is this thing called "retirement" such a challenge? For many, retirement feels like an ending. But in this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, my guest Louise Olson shows us something very different—it can be the beginning of a bold, expansive, and deeply meaningful next chapter. Louise's journey is not a straight line. And that's exactly why it matters. She didn't begin her professional career until age 45. Before that, she was a stay-at-home mother in a traditional family, where the expectation was clear: care for the home, raise the children, and leave career-building to others. But life has a way of nudging us forward. And Louise listened. Starting as a secretary at Motorola, she stepped into opportunities she didn't even know she was ready for—eventually becoming an international meeting planner, traveling the world, and working on global programs including those with Interpol. And here's what makes her story so powerful: She didn't wait to be chosen. She raised her hand, took bold action, and learned as she went. Reinvention and Retirement are not Just a Moment—They are a Mindset Louise's story is a masterclass in what I call rethinking retirement. When she stepped away from a major global client after 16 years, she faced the same question so many of us do: "Who am I now?" It's one of the four essential questions I explore in Rethink Retirement: Who am I without my business card? What will I do every day? Where do I still matter? Who is my community? Louise didn't rush to answer them. She explored them. She leaned into curiosity, not certainty. She experimented, not perfected. And she reminds us of something we often forget: You are not a victim of your circumstances—you are the creator of them. The Courage to Begin Again (At Any Age) At an age when many people slow down, Louise sped up. She climbed Machu Picchu at 63 Built an international career after 65 Launched retreats and community programs in her 70s Continues to travel, teach, and inspire women globally Her message is simple, but profound: It is never too late. Not to learn something new. Not to build something meaningful. Not to become someone different. What holds most people back isn't age—it's mindset. Retirement should be your From Structure to Self-Design Your Retirement One of the biggest challenges people face in retirement is the loss of structure. For decades, your calendar is filled for you. Then suddenly… it's empty. Louise sees this not as a problem—but as an invitation. "You are going to have to create your retirement," she shared. "And you've never had to do that before." That blank space? It's where your next life gets designed. But design requires intention. Louise starts her days with a simple practice: Gratitude for the day ahead Clarity on what she wants to create A willingness to try something new It's not about having all the answers. It's about taking the next step. And retirement is a great accelerator for you to redesign this next stage in your life. Finding Your Tribe Again, and It Is More Than Other Retirees Perhaps one of the most powerful insights from our conversation was about community. When we leave our careers, we often lose more than a job—we lose our network, our daily interactions, our sense of belonging. Louise recognized this early. Retirement meant she needed a new community. So she didn't wait for a community to find her—she built one. Through her "Wise Wandering" retreats and meetup groups, she's creating spaces where women can: Explore new identities Share their transitions Build meaningful relationships Feel seen and understood Because retirement without community can quickly become isolation. And none of us are meant to navigate this stage alone. What Can You Learn from Louise? Louise's journey offers a few powerful lessons: Say yes before you feel ready Follow curiosity—it will lead you forward Don't wait for permission to reinvent yourself Build your community intentionally Design your days with purpose, not habit Most importantly: Retirement is not about stopping. It's about choosing. Ready to Rethink Your Next Chapter? If Louise's story resonates with you, I invite you to take the next step. Join me for my upcoming Masterclass, where we'll explore how to: Redefine your identity beyond your career Create meaningful structure in your days Clarify your purpose and impact Build a community that supports your journey Or start with the book: Rethink Retirement—available now. Because this stage of life isn't the end of something. It's the beginning of what's next. Have a story about your own transition? I'd love to hear it. Share it with me—because together, we learn to see, feel, and think in new ways.

We didn't go looking for magic on this day. It came looking for us.Part 3 of our Peru recap covers the day everything stopped being coincidence. A shaman we didn't plan to meet gave us a private worldview lesson in his shop. The tarot cards on the train predicted the exact day before it happened — mountain, woman walking, flowers in a bunch. And then a full ceremonial procession appeared on the trail behind us, with a shaman, musicians, animal masks, and chairs — heading to the same waterfall we were. Our guide Tina, who is Quechua and has guided these trails her whole life, had never seen this ceremony happen. Ever.And then they pulled us into it.We also cover the Pisac village and ruins, lunch with the Amaru people high in the Andes, the most magical train ride of our lives through the Sacred Valley, and arriving at Aguas Calientes before heading up to Machu Picchu — which gets its own episode because it deserves it.If you've been following this series you know Peru kept proving itself. This is the episode where it stopped being subtle about it. Want to experience this kind of magic yourself? We have trips open now — Germany this fall and Costa Rica next spring. Links in bio.
