V pondelkových letných epizódach ranného podcastu Denníka SME predstavuje Tatiana Čabáková Slovenky a Slovákov, ktorí sa presadili a zanechávajú výraznú stopu v českej spoločnosti. Tentoraz je jej hosťom epidemiológ Rastislav Maďar. Rastislav Maďar patrí medzi najvýraznejšie osobnosti českej medicíny. Je dekanom Lekárskej fakulty Ostravskej univerzity, vedie Ústav epidemiológie a ochrany verejného zdravia a ako poradca českého ministra zdravotníctva stojí na čele tímu odborníkov, ktorý pripravuje reformu systému ochrany verejného zdravia. Jej cieľom je, aby Česko dokázalo pri ďalšej pandémii reagovať rýchlejšie a efektívnejšie. Zároveň pôsobí ako honorárny konzul Slovenskej republiky v Ostrave a popri všetkých svojich funkciách sa naďalej venuje pacientom vo svojej epidemiologickej ambulancii. Pre medicínu sa rozhodol už ako jedenásťročný po tom, čo videl dokument o hladomore vo východnej Afrike. V roku 2004 založil charitatívnu organizáciu International Humanity, prostredníctvom ktorej organizuje lekárske misie v najchudobnejších regiónoch sveta. V africkom Malawi vybudoval nemocnicu, kam sa dvakrát ročne vracia, aby školil miestnych zdravotníkov a zabezpečoval zdravotnícky materiál i vybavenie. Jeho pacienti často prichádzajú za ošetrením pešo aj niekoľko desiatok kilometrov a mnohí z nich nevedia čítať ani písať. V podcaste sa dozviete: ako funguje unikátna simulačná nemocnica, v ktorej sa vzdelávajú študenti Lekárskej fakulty v Ostrave, koľko študentov fakulty tvoria Slováci, ako sa za posledné roky zmenil prístup mladých lekárov k povolaniu, ako požiadavka na rovnováhu medzi pracovným a súkromným životom ovplyvňuje výber lekárskej špecializácie, prečo považuje empatiu za jednu z najdôležitejších vlastností lekára, ako chce zmeniť systém ochrany verejného zdravia v Česku, aby bol lepšie pripravený na budúce pandémie, ako sa darí získavať zdravotnícky personál pre nemocnicu v odľahlom regióne Malawi, akým spôsobom vzdeláva negramotných obyvateľov miestnych dedín o prevencii chorôb, a čoho sa európski lekári počas humanitárnych misií v Afrike obávajú najviac. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Nigerian government has halted the repatriation of its citizens from South Africa, leaving some still sleeping outside the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria. A similar scene is unfolding at Malawi's diplomatic missions in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Authorities have not given a timeline for when the process will resume. We spoke to Dr. ABC Okokoh, President of the Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo South Africa Chapter.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Burnout has a way of feeling holy when you've called it “responsibility” for long enough. We open Matthew 11:28-30 and get painfully honest about the hidden loads we drag around every day: fear, shame, anxiety, bitterness, resentment, grief, people-pleasing, and the constant need to prove ourselves. Then we put one simple question on the table that can change a week fast: “Did Jesus ask me to carry this?” When the answer is no, we learn how to lay it down, and how to lay it down again when it crawls back onto our shoulders.From there, we go deeper than the promise of rest. Jesus doesn't stop at “I will give you rest” for your tired body and mind. He says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,” and we explore why that order matters: relationship before responsibility, belonging before participation, rest before work. The surprising turn is that Jesus isn't handing us another exhausting to-do list. He's inviting us into a different way of living where the “yoke” is carrying His heart, shaped by compassion, mercy, and love.We also wrestle with the big question: how can Jesus say His burden is light when His life includes the cross? The answer we discover is that love changes what a burden feels like, and love gives faces to needs. A story from Malawi makes it real: a well stops being a project on a list and becomes mothers, children, and changed lives. If you want Christian discipleship that feels like freedom rather than pressure, press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more weary people can find real rest.Support the showwww.Turning180.com
Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Scripture, Salvation, and the Battle Against Spiritual Darkness Ep220 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 118 Program 220 Opens With Prayer, Music, and Ministry Purpose In this episode of Tony Alamo, World Pastor Tony Alamo introduces Program 220, part 118 of How to Have God's Life Living in You. He explains that listeners can request a free CD or audiotape of the message, while the choir and orchestra perform “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” in the background. Tony references the ministry's Los Angeles church and then opens in prayer, asking God to anoint the broadcast, pour out the Holy Spirit, save souls, strengthen the church, and help people understand the difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Letters From Zambia, the Solomon Islands, and Malawi The first section features listener and ministry letters read by Sharon. A letter from Zambia thanks Tony for literature that the writer says is enlightening people and being distributed in streets, towns, suburbs, schools, and offices. A letter from the Solomon Islands reports that fifteen families have repented and asks for Bibles and clothing for newly converted families. A letter from Malawi praises Tony's gospel literature, requests more materials, and asks for help obtaining a megaphone. Tony responds by encouraging the distribution of tapes, literature, Bibles, and practical assistance where possible. The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Darkness Tony then begins the main sermon by contrasting the kingdom of heaven with the kingdom of darkness. He teaches that the Lord continues His incarnation through believers who walk in light, and that Christians are called to let God's light shine through them. In his doctrinal framing, darkness represents ignorance, deception, and spiritual blindness, while light represents the Word of God, truth, knowledge, Spirit, and life. He argues that the only way people can be drawn out of darkness is through mature children of light preaching the Word of God. Studying the Bible as the Source of Light A central teaching in the episode is that believers must study the Bible directly rather than relying only on preachers or teachers. Tony says the light of God is the knowledge of God, and that this knowledge is found in scripture. He urges listeners to compare every sermon or teaching against the Bible, saying that the Word of God is the only truth available on this side of eternity. He also strongly criticizes religions and institutions he believes reject or diminish the Word, presenting these criticisms as part of his attributed religious commentary. Worldly Knowledge Versus Spiritual Knowledge Tony contrasts worldly education and achievement with what he calls the knowledge of light. He says people may hold degrees, earn money, build careers, or appear intelligent in the kingdom of darkness, but still lack the knowledge needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. He uses his own background in the entertainment industry as an example, saying that before he was saved, he could help make people successful in worldly terms but could not lead them into eternal life. After becoming born again, he says he realized that true wisdom and power are found only in Jesus, the Word of God. End-Times Warnings, Prophecy, and Religious Commentary The sermon includes extended end-times warnings involving Israel, the Middle East, a false Messiah, 2 Thessalonians, the Vatican, political leaders, and one-world government claims. Tony frames global events as a theatrical deception that could cause people to mistake Satan for God if they do not know the depth of the Word. The transcript preserves these accusations and public-figure claims as Tony's statements, not independently verified facts. He uses this section to urge listeners to reject spiritual ignorance, read the Bible, and come into what he calls the light, regardless of what they have done in darkness. Heavenly Citizenship, Salvation Prayer, and Program Ordering Near the end, Tony teaches that believers live on Earth but have citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. He compares the blood of Jesus on the soul to a passport into God's kingdom, warning that continuing in sin revokes that spiritual standing in his theological view. He calls listeners to live as kingdom-of-heaven people, surrender selfishness, receive God's life within them, and be born again into the kingdom of light. The episode closes with a salvation prayer, followed by Sharon giving the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number for ordering Program 220, before Tony previews Program 221.

A compliant submitted by the Nigerian Press Organisation, which represents newspaper owners, journalists' unions, broadcasters and online publishers, has prompted the country's President Bola Tinubu to issue an investigation by the country's competition regulator into major technology companies over alleged anti-competitive practices and unauthorised use of news content. Growing influence of big-tech companies in Africa has sparked concerns over dominance in digital advertising, the use of news content without fair compensation, algorithms that control what people see, and the impact of artificial intelligence on journalism and copyright.Also, we take a look at a new Malawian National Action Plan that seeks to improve the rights of people with albinism in the workplace. We hear from Malawi's Bonface Massah, head of the Africa Albinism Network, who also lives with albinism.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Ayuba Illya, Helen Oyibo and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producer: Bella Twine Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

En Afrique du Sud, les étrangers fuient massivement le pays alors que des groupes xénophobes ont exigé le départ de tous les migrants illégaux avant la date butoir de ce mardi, le 30 juin. « La terreur et les larmes » des Malawites contraints d'abandonner leur vie en Afrique du Sud, fait la Une du Daily Maverick. Le quotidien sud-africain s'est rendu sur le site de l'ancien cinéma en plein-air de Durban, la plus grande ville de la province du KwaZulu-Natal dans l'est du pays. C'est là sur un site d'un kilomètre carré, qu'Azadi attend, « son bébé endormi sur sa poitrine ». C'est avec « tristesse » que ce père de famille retourne au Malawi mais il ne voit pas d'autre option car « la situation n'est pas bonne » en Afrique du Sud pour tous ceux qui ne sont pas Sud-Africains. « Ce n'est pas la première fois que le pays est en proie à une poussée de fièvre xénophobe, écrit la correspondante du Monde Afrique. Mais jamais des étrangers terrorisés n'avaient ainsi fait leurs bagages en masse (…). Pratiquement inconnu il y a trois mois, le mouvement March and March, à l'origine de la mobilisation, appelle à des manifestations pacifiques. Mais dans son sillage, depuis des semaines, une campagne ultraviolente déferle sur les réseaux sociaux », poursuit le journal qui rappelle que le mouvement a déjà fait « au moins quatre morts, peut-être plus ». En danger À Mankweng, dans le nord du pays, « plus de 600 zimbabwéens » campent devant le poste de police, rapporte le Daily Sun. Nombre d'entre eux sont sans-papiers, pas tous, Juliat, elle, a « des documents légaux pour rester en Afrique du Sud » mais elle a été forcée de quitter le logement qu'elle louait. Cette mère de deux enfants vit désormais dans la peur, raconte le quotidien sud-africain. Dans la nation arc-en-ciel, « requiem pour l'Ubuntu et le legs de Madiba », titre Aujourd'hui au Faso. L'Ubuntu, c'est cette « philosophie de la compassion chère à Nelson Mandela », précise le journal. Si « le chômage, la corruption endémique et la dégradation des sévices publics (…) font le lit de cette chasse au faciès », le pays devrait pourtant « avoir les ressorts pour conjurer ce genre de comportement. L'apartheid, c'était seulement avant hier ». Réforme constitutionnelle au Sénégal Au Sénégal, « l'Assemblée nationale a adopté, en séance plénière, la proposition de loi portant sur la révision de la Constitution, écrit Dakaractu. Les députés du groupe parlementaire Pastef, qui disposent d'une majorité dans l'hémicycle, ont voté le texte ». Un texte qui renforce le pouvoir du Parlement et du Premier ministre au détriment du président. « Le vote s'est tenu dans un climat de fortes tensions entre le Pastef et la coalition Diomaye Président, qui soutient le chef de l'État et réclamait le retrait du projet au profit d'une concertation plus large », poursuit Dakaractu. « Bassirou Diomaye Faye a décidé de soumettre au référendum la proposition de révision constitutionnelle adoptée », indique Le Soleil. Ousmane Sonko, le président de l'Assemblée, lui, demande au chef de l'État « de promulguer la loi sans passer par un référendum », précise Senego. « Le bras de fer s'intensifie entre les deux hommes », poursuit le média. Selon Afrik.com, ce référendum sera « un test personnel pour Bassirou Diomaye Faye (…), une victoire du oui conforterait le projet de refondation institutionnelle porté par Ousmane Sonko et confirmerait sa popularité auprès des Sénégalais ». Performance marocaine Au Mondial de football, la « qualification héroïque du Maroc face au Pays-Bas, titre Médias24. Menés à un quart d'heure de la fin du terme, les Lions de l'Atlas ont trouvé les ressources nécessaires pour égaliser » puis éliminer les Hollandais aux tirs aux buts, se réjouit le média marocain. Afrik foot évoque la performance des Marocains qui ont « imposé leur jeu », avec 70% de possession de balle en leur faveur. Les Marocains affronteront les Canadiens samedi en 8e de finale.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. I asked Oliten Lameck what his vision is for the future of Malawi. And his answer was inspiring. He said: “I would really like to see churches, every church equipping its people on how to share the Gospel. And I would like to see every young people knowing Christ and knowing how to share the Gospel also to other people.” What a wonderful vision. You know, the Church is always one generation from being extinct if we don't intentionally share the Gospel and pass it on. That's why it's so important to equip both young and old to share their faith. So today, let me give you a challenge: invest in someone younger than you. Encourage them. Pray with them. Teach them how to share the hope of the Gospel with others. If you need help getting started, we have resources for you. For those and to find out more about how you can get involved with seeing the Gospel go to nations like Malawi, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.
A semana fica marcada pela instabilidade política em São Tomé e Príncipe, pela eleição de Venâncio Mondlane para a liderança do Anamola, em Moçambique, pela acusação formal do general Higino Carneiro, em Angola, pelas críticas à reduzida representação feminina no novo Governo de Cabo Verde e pelo desmentido da CEDEAO sobre alegadas tentativas de suborno durante uma missão à Guiné-Bissau. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, o Conselho Nacional da ADI marcou para 26 de Julho o congresso do partido. A decisão é contestada pelo actual primeiro-ministro, Américo Ramos, que reafirmou a sua candidatura à presidência da formação política. Ainda no arquipélago, o Tribunal Constitucional confirmou a rejeição da candidatura do empresário e político Domingos Monteiro às eleições presidenciais de 19 de Julho, por considerar que nenhum dos seus pais é são-tomense. Permanecem na corrida cinco candidatos: o antigo primeiro-ministro Jorge Bom Jesus, o líder parlamentar da ADI, Nito D'Abreu, o actual Presidente da República, Carlos Vila Nova, e os juristas Miques João Bonfim e Eugénio Tiny. Segundo dados provisórios da Comissão Eleitoral Nacional, estão inscritos 142.298 eleitores, mais cerca de 19 mil do que nas eleições de 2022. Em Moçambique, Venâncio Mondlane foi eleito presidente da Aliança Nacional por um Moçambique Livre e Autónomo, Anamola. Em entrevista à RFI, afirmou que pretende transformar a nova força política no maior partido da história democrática do país até 2029 e anunciou ainda a criação de uma "Escola Anamola". Entretanto, as autoridades moçambicanas repatriaram, nos últimos dias, mais de duas centenas de cidadãos do Malawi que tinham entrado ilegalmente no país para fugir aos ataques xenófobos na África do Sul. Em Angola, o general Higino Carneiro foi formalmente acusado pela Procuradoria-Geral da República dos crimes de peculato e branqueamento de capitais, alegadamente cometidos quando exerceu funções de governador do Cuando Cubango. A defesa afirma não ter sido notificada e acusa o Ministério Público de violar o segredo de justiça, considerando que o processo procura travar as ambições políticas do também candidato à liderança do MPLA. Ainda em Angola, o Tribunal da Comarca de Luanda iniciou o julgamento do influenciador digital Gerson Quintas, conhecido como "Man Genas", acusado de ofensas ao Presidente da República e de declarações dirigidas a altas patentes da Polícia Nacional. As alegadas ofensas foram proferidas quando se encontrava em Moçambique, de onde foi deportado em Fevereiro de 2024 por situação migratória irregular. Em Cabo Verde, os partidos da oposição e a presidente da Rede das Mulheres Parlamentares criticam a composição do novo Governo liderado pelo primeiro-ministro Francisco Carvalho, apontando a reduzida representação de mulheres e jovens nos principais cargos de decisão. Na Guiné-Bissau, a CEDEAO desmentiu as alegações de uma tentativa de suborno a membros da sua mais recente missão oficial ao país. A organização classificou as acusações como falsas e sem qualquer fundamento, depois de notícias divulgadas nas redes sociais e replicadas por vários órgãos de comunicação social darem conta de uma alegada entrega de cerca de 22 mil euros no quarto de hotel de um dos membros da missão. A delegação esteve na Guiné-Bissau entre 19 e 23 de Junho para acompanhar a implementação do mandato revisto da Missão de Apoio à Estabilização no país.
For Dallas-born folk singer-songwriter Anjimile, who grew up in a conservative Christian family with immigrant parents from Malawi, life wasn't always easy to figure out. Their journey as a young adult, trans man, while simultaneously battling addiction, resulted in the brutally honest 2020 album, Giver Taker, which the artist deemed to be full of prayers. A few years later came The King, his most defiant and intense record to date, which helped Anjimile deal with the complex emotions that stem from existing as a Black, trans person in the current political climate. And though that album felt like one filled with curses, the latest addition to their discography, titled You're Free to Go, appears to be “an album of blooming.” As Anjimile puts it, “a lot of the themes are related to transformation and/or growing pains… a blooming spring is a beautiful thing but it's also a disruption to the status quo.” As his voice deepened and grew in confidence, Anjimile discovered “a newfound level of comfort”, both in singing and composing his music. And though he appeared on Soundcheck before, he returns with a new sonic palette and stories, encapsulating moments of acceptance and eagerness to let love in. (- Sırma Munyar) Set list: 1.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. I asked Oliten Lameck, EE's National Director of Malawi, why gathering with believers from around the world is so important. He said: “It will help us to expand our vision and also reshape our vision on how we can do this mission because we know there we are going to get some necessary tools and strategies to help us to share Gospel to churches and also the community for the betterment of our nation.” I love that phrase: “expand our vision.” You know, when we hear what God is doing in other places, it reminds us that we're part of something much bigger than ourselves. So as you hear about the Gospel going forward around the world, ask God to give you His heart for your community, your nation, and the world. Be encouraged by what you hear to step out and share the Gospel with those around you. To find out more about how you can get involved with seeing the Gospel go to nations like Malawi, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.
Most people think philanthropy is about money. John Loudon, Executive Director of the COmON Foundation and one of the best-known philanthropists in conservation and nature preservation, with a career spanning three decades across Europe and Africa, thinks it is about trust. In this episode, we talk about what happens when trust is missing from giving, how philanthropy becomes distant, data-driven, and ultimately ineffective. And what it looks like when trust is genuinely present. John brings two stories to illustrate this. One from Malawi, where a community that had been depleting a national park for survival became its guardian angels once their real need - water - was met. Trust made that possible. And one from the Baviaanskloof in South Africa, where 125 years of goat farming had turned a valley into a near-desert, and where two years of conversation among farmers, guided by Otto Scharmer's Theory U, brought it back to life. The solutions came from within. Nobody arrived with a plan. Nobody needed to — because trust was already in the room. John also introduces a concept most funders have never heard of — Key Transformative Indicators — and explains why he measures success not in outputs but in signs of change. Why is giving harder than fundraising? And why the most important thing an outside organization can do when it arrives in a struggling community is put away its plan, start listening, and earn the trust that makes everything else possible.
Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. When interviewing Oliten Lameck, EE's National Director of Malawi, he shared with me something that every pastor and church leader needs to hear: “Though people are in churches, but they still need the Gospel. So this is pushing us that we should really equip people so that they can share Gospel to people. And even those who are in churches, they need the Gospel.” You know, that's true. Sometimes we assume that because someone attends church, they understand how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. But that's not always the case. That's why sharing the Gospel is so important, even inside our churches. So you have conversations with the people around you, make sure to ask spiritual questions. Listen carefully. And as God gives you the opportunity, share the Gospel with them. And watch God work. If you need help getting started in sharing your faith, we have resources for you. For those and to get involved with seeing the Gospel go to the nations, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.
With nearly 1.3 billion disabled people in the world, we assume that the medical community focuses on physical health. But who is helping people with the emotional and spiritual impact of disability? In this session, we will explore the emotional and spiritual impact of disability and how the church and global workers can effectively support the disabled community with this critical need.
Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Oliten Lameck, EE's National Director of Malawi, recently told me about a group that had just gone through evangelism training. They told him: “‘I think we were really missing this. It was like we were missing quarter of our life, not knowing how to share the Gospel like this.' So they were encouraged and they committed themselves to continue sharing the Gospel to other people.” And truly, I've heard comments like that all over the world. Many Christians love Jesus. They attend church. They serve faithfully. But no one has ever shown them how to confidently share their faith. And when they learn, it's like a fire ignites in their heart. They find a passion for sharing the Gospel and teaching others how to as well. And their churches and communities are changed because they are changed. And this could be you! If you need help getting started, we have resources for you. For those and to get involved with seeing the Gospel go to the nations, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.
Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. I was talking with Oliten Lameck, EE's National Director of Malawi, and he shared what God is doing: “Like now we are training the people, equipping pastors, equipping young leaders on how to share the Gospel. For instance, last week we had a training, Hope for Kids training and also Share Your Faith training. So we are busy with the Gospel, equipping people so that they may also equip other people with the Gospel.” You know, that's really how the Gospel spreads. One believer shares with another. One person is equipped, and then they help equip someone else. That's why Paul told Timothy to entrust what he had learned to faithful people who would teach others also. So don't just learn how to share your faith for yourself. Disciple someone else how as well. That's spiritual multiplication! If you need help getting started, we have resources for you.

Die Forum for South Africa sê die voortdurende migrasiekrisis in Suid-Afrika, is nie toevallig nie, maar die regstreekse gevolg van mislukte leierskap oor dele van die vasteland. FOSA se leier, Tebogo Mashilompane, sê regerings in lande soos Zimbabwe, Malawi en ander het te lank hul eie mense in die steek gelaat deur swak regering, ekonomiese wanbestuur, korrupsie en 'n gebrek aan geleenthede. Hy sê as gevolg hiervan word miljoene gedwing om hul tuislande te verlaat vir 'n kans op oorlewing:

Kopanong Africa Against Xenophobia waarsku dreigemente en vrees sal nie die immigrasiekrisis oplos nie. Dit word volgens hulle gedryf word deur dieper politieke en ekonomiese toestande in die streek. Dit volg te midde van 'n toename in teen-migrante-betogings en xenofobiese geweld, wat daartoe gelei het dat lande soos Malawi, Nigerië en Ghana hul burgers uit Suid-Afrika verwyder. Die koalisie se woordvoerder, Dale McKinley, het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê ongeag waar 'n persoon vandaan kom, moet sy menslikheid en reg op veiligheid gerespekteer word:
Die Departement van Binnelandse Sake en dié van Justisie en Grondwetlike Ontwikkeling het ʼn Virtuele Prioriteitshof in Durban gevestig om immigrasie-sake en deportasie-bevele te hanteer.

Binnelandse Sake se adjunk-direkteur-generaal vir Operasies, Thulani Mavuso, sê sommige Malawiërs het Suid-Afrikaanse immigrasiewette oortree:
Welcome to "Travel to Listen," a new Unpacked series hosted by veteran music journalist Tim Chester. Over four episodes rolling out every other week, Tim takes us into the cities where music is more than entertainment—it's the shortcut to a place's soul. This week, he heads into the high desert of Southern California to find out why the Mojave has been spawning some of rock's most original sounds for decades. Along the way, he discovers a landscape that's every bit as wild and inspiring as the music it produces. In this episode What “desert rock” actually means—and how the Mojave Desert's extreme heat, isolation, and silence forged a uniquely sun-baked, heavy sound that's impossible to replicate anywhere else The family tree of the genre: from Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age to Fu Manchu and a sprawling network of bands centered around Joshua Tree and 29 Palms The Mojave Experience, a two-day desert rock festival organized by Patrick Brink of the band Volume—and his plans to bring it back bigger next year Why the California desert has drawn musicians, filmmakers, and creatives for decades: from Gram Parsons' storied final days—and why Roc Gardner left New York to build a creative retreat called Escape in the desert Where to go and what to do: Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, Pappy & Harriet's, generator parties under the stars, and why the area rewards a few slow days off the beaten path Meet this week's guests Patrick Brink is the frontman of Volume, a desert rock band from 29 Palms, California. He organized the Mojave Experience, a two-day desert rock festival featuring Kyuss alumni and scene veterans, and plans to bring it back bigger in spring 2027. Roc Gardner is a songwriter, entrepreneur, and the founder of Escape, a creative retreat for musicians, artists, filmmakers, and thought leaders set on the high desert outside Joshua Tree. A former New Yorker, Roc has hosted everyone from Usher to the Arctic Monkeys since opening. Guest host Tim Chester is a freelance travel and culture writer who has spent the past 20 years exploring the world through the lens of music. His reporting has appeared in NME, Spin, and Afar, and his travels have taken him from Manhattan to Malawi and Beijing to Berlin in search of the festivals, scenes, and stories that reveal a city's soul.

Most of the key spots are within easy reach of the town of Joshua Tree or 29 Palms. Here's how to do it like a fan. Start here: the essential stops Joshua Tree National Park—a designated Dark Sky Park and one of the most visually distinctive landscapes in North America, where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet. Hike, climb, and stay after dark for the stars. Pioneertown—an original 1940s cowboy movie set built by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, still largely intact and walkable. The Integratron—a dome-shaped structure built by UFO enthusiast George Van Tassel in the 1950s. Book a sound bath and let the acoustics do their work. Giant Rock—one of the largest freestanding boulders in the world, a sacred site for the Serrano people and a legendary UFO gathering spot in the 1950s. Earthless played an immense show here. It's on YouTube. Hear live music Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace—the legendary honky-tonk saloon and music venue a mile outside Pioneertown. Paul McCartney has played here. Capacity: 300 inside, 1,000 outside. If anyone serious is touring through the desert, they're playing Pappy's. Local Show on Z107.7—Pat Kerns curates a two-hour showcase of local desert bands every Sunday on the area's community radio station: folk, punk, spaced-out psychedelia, and everything in between. The Mojave Experience—Patrick Brink's desert rock festival, planned to return in spring 2027. Check the website for lineup and dates. Stay and create Escape—Roc Gardner's creative retreat for musicians, artists, and anyone looking to swap city static for desert silence. Used by Usher, the Arctic Monkeys, and a long list of creatives. Rancho de la Luna—the legendary desert recording studio that inspired Escape, used by artists across the rock spectrum for decades. Go a little deeper Desert rock playlist—check the show notes for a curated playlist featuring Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Volume, Earthless, and more. Load it up for the drive in. Gram Parsons shrine—the small shrine behind a rock in Joshua Tree National Park, marking where rock's greatest cosmic cowboy spent his final days. Worth finding if you know where to look. Generator parties—informal outdoor concerts powered by generators, a desert tradition going back decades. Check local listings for upcoming shows, especially in fall and winter. Up next on Travel to Listen Tim heads to Detroit to hear big news at the Motown Museum—and to find out what's driving a musical renaissance in one of America's most storied music cities.

Answering the Call - Malawi Testimony by Pastor David Goodson
We analyze Deuteronomy 20:1-4, using a recent trip to Malawi and Kenya as an example. We'll compare the physical battles to be faced by Israel to the spiritual battles we face as New Testament believers.
In a Muslim village in East Africa, 47 people confessed belief in Christ. But then Christian persecution came. Radical Muslims went house-to-house, threatening new believers and demanding they return to Islam. All but two of the new Christians renounced their faith. Brother Paulo, a leader in YWAM Frontier Missions in East Africa, met the two young men who stood firm for Christ. He asked them how they'd stayed faithful under such intense pressure. "The experience I had with Jesus was so strong that I cannot deny Jesus," the younger of the two men told him. In places like Northern Mozambique, South Sudan, Malawi, Tanzania and other East African countries, Muslim-background believers face persecution from their families and communities. Even those who have grown up in Christian families are likely to face persecution from Muslim communities—especially if they are involved in evangelism or outreach to Muslims. Brother Paulo will share more stories from our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in East Africa, tell how God called him into missions and describe the endurance of churches in the region amid persecution. He will also share how believers prepare to face persecution and how Christians in free nations like the United States can pray for our brothers and sisters in East Africa. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China and Iran, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films.

The Zero Project Tech Forum has arrived in Africa. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece meet three innovators from Nairobi using sonar wearables, local wheelchair manufacturing, and AI-powered cardiac monitoring to reshape assistive technology on the continent. The Zero Project, a global initiative of Austria's Essl Foundation, has taken its Tech Forum to Nairobi for the first time, gathering disability-focused innovators from across Africa and beyond. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece speak with three of them who are each solving a distinct but connected problem: how to make assistive technology appropriate, affordable, and available where it is needed most. Brian Mwenda, CEO of Hope Tech, shares the decade-long journey behind the Sixth Sense, a shoulder-worn device that uses sonar and haptic feedback to alert blind and visually impaired users to obstacles at chest height and above. Designed to look like a pair of headphones resting on the shoulders, it pairs with existing white cane technique and works alongside guide dogs rather than replacing them. The device can be customised for different types of sight loss, including tunnel vision and peripheral vision loss, and connects to a smartphone app for turn-by-turn navigation. Brian also talks about Census Hub, the Nairobi-based innovation space his team has built to support other assistive tech developers across Africa. Colman Ndetembea, co-founder and CEO of Kyaro Assistive Tech, explains how his Tanzanian social enterprise manufactures wheelchairs and rehabilitation equipment to World Health Organization quality standards. With 45 products, over 2,000 devices distributed since 2021, and distribution reaching Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi, Kyaro is addressing a stark reality: 90 per cent of people in need of a wheelchair on the continent still cannot access one. Colman shares the story of Aidan, a child who received a Kyaro wheelchair in 2021 after nine months homebound following an amputation, and who has since qualified for the wheelchair tennis World Cup. Gerrishon Sirere, co-founder of Hoptics, introduces CardioGuard, an AI-powered cardiovascular monitoring platform designed for preventive healthcare. Currently in beta testing with a hardware wearable and an active pilot along the Kenyan coast, CardioGuard gives clinicians a way to monitor patients remotely and provides people with disabilities, who often cannot physically reach a healthcare facility, with real-time alerts and health recommendations. The platform has been through clinical validation research with the University of Toronto.

Dan Kobayashi spent 16 years working as a U.S. diplomat focused on African issues, both at posts in Lesotho, Zambia, and Malawi, among others, and at the State Department's intelligence bureau in Washington, D.C. He had a close-up view of how U.S.-Africa policy has evolved over the years, particularly as it relates to China's expanding presence on the continent. Today, Dan is out of government and works as a geopolitical risk consultant in Geneva, where he also writes for his new Expatriach Substack. He joins Eric, Cobus, and Géraud to share an insider's perspective on the current state of U.S. policy towards Africa and why the notion that Washington is competing with Beijing for influence in the region is outdated.
