Send us a textBalancing on the knife edge between breakthrough performance and burnout, Benjamin Townsend takes us behind the scenes of his remarkable season traversing continents in pursuit of skyrunning glory. From the humid jungles of Malaysia to the technical Alps, his journey reveals the unseen challenges young athletes face when building a global racing career.The conversation opens with Benjamin's qualification for the U23 Skyrunner World Series Final and his rollercoaster experiences competing internationally. After a devastating DNF in Spain where debilitating foot pain left him unable to continue, Benjamin rebounded spectacularly with his first U23 win at Japan's Weta Sky Race - a grueling 16-mile course with over 10,000 feet of vertical gain. The victory marked a pivotal moment, confirming he belongs among the sport's elite.What makes this episode particularly valuable are Benjamin's candid reflections on the physical and logistical challenges of international competition. He details his specialized training approach - using a 40% incline treadmill to develop the power hiking skills Americans often lack compared to Europeans from skiing backgrounds. These insights reveal the technical demands of true skyrunning that casual fans might not appreciate.Perhaps most compelling is Benjamin's vulnerability discussing the fatigue that eventually caught up with him. "I've been pretty much tired since July," he admits, acknowledging the lesson that saying yes to every opportunity has consequences. This hard-earned wisdom shapes his evolving approach to racing strategy and career longevity.The episode peaks with Benjamin's breakthrough at Broken Arrow, where he slashed nearly 20 minutes from his previous time to finish in the top 20. This performance didn't just catch the attention of major brands - it fundamentally shifted his timeline for reaching the sport's pinnacle. "My why hasn't changed," he reflects, "but the when has... it feels a lot closer than before."Whether you're an aspiring mountain athlete or simply fascinated by the mental and physical demands of elite endurance sports, Benjamin's journey offers a rare glimpse into the realities of building an international racing career from the ground up.Follow Benjamin on IG - @benjamin.tsendFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

September is historically a slow month for travel news in South East Asia. With the October Golden Week imminent, followed by the peak November-February tourism season, it's usually a period to reflect and prepare. Not this year. Political upheaval and economic instability in ASEAN's two largest economies, Indonesia and Thailand, are front-page news. Events in both nations have the potential to influence the end-of-year travel season, not least in Thailand where an enforced national election is likely. Meantime, Gary and Hannah assess Malaysia's latest positioning statement for its biggest ever 12-month national tourism campaign in 2026. Phnom Penh inaugurates Cambodia's much hyped new Techo Airport. And Vietnam's buoyant tourism economy enjoys a further boost during National Day. Plus, why are consumer trade shows an even bigger deal than normal in 2025 in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines? All this and more in our weekly travel and tourism news roundup.     

On today's podcast: 1) A search is underway for the killer of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was fatally shot at a Utah university. Kirk was speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University when a single shot was fired from a nearby building, according to local police, with Governor Spencer Cox describing it as a “political assassination.” The shooting drew an outpouring of shock and condemnation from Republicans and Democrats alike, with former Democratic presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama denouncing the violence and offering sympathies to Kirk's family.2) Global stocks posted small gains as traders held back on major bets before Thursday’s highly anticipated US inflation data. Expectations that the Fed will resume monetary easing this month have soared in recent weeks, as data increasingly point to a US labor market under strain. A softer-than-expected print could fuel bets on an initial outsized cut, while a stronger reading would bolster the case for more gradual moves.3) Mexico plans to impose tariffs of as much as 50% on cars and other products made by China and several Asian exporters. The tariffs would affect countries including China, South Korea, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Russia and Turkey, but would not apply to countries such as the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, we explore the remarkable history of the Malay Regiment during the Second World War. Formed in the 1930s as an experiment with just 25 local recruits, the regiment quickly grew into a respected fighting force. By the time of the Japanese invasion of Malaya in late 1941, it had expanded to two full battalions. These soldiers would be thrown into the heart of the fighting during the desperate defence of Singapore in early 1942. To help tell this story, I am joined by Stuart Lloyd, author of The Malay Experiment: The Colonial Origins and Homegrown Heroics of the Malay Regiment. His book examines how the regiment was created, its role in the war, and the lasting legacy it left behind in Malaysia's military history.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Companion Guide Alert!Enhance your listening experience with our brand-new Assumptions That Destroy Communication Workbook, designed to accompany this episode! This guide will help you transform your communication skills. Grab it now for just $4 at: https://stan.store/masteryourmarriage/p/assumptions-that-destroy-communication-workbookEpisode Overview In this episode, Part 3 of our communication series, Robert and Sharla dive into the hidden power of judgments in our everyday language and how they sabotage the intimacy we crave in relationships. Building on Part 1 (the cost of not speaking up) and Part 2 (three communication goals: mutual understanding, connection, and empathy), we explore why we're conditioned to judge—especially in Western culture—and how this “conflict-escalating” language disconnects us from our partners' needs. Featuring a powerful story from NVC founder Marshall Rosenberg and practical tips from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), this episode offers a roadmap to shift from judgments to observations. Plus, we introduce our new workbook to guide you step-by-step!Key Takeaways - A judgment is any thought or statement that labels or diagnoses someone (e.g., “You're lazy”), implying fault and escalating conflict by cutting off empathy and understanding. - We're indoctrinated into judgmental language from childhood through family (“You're naughty”), media (heroes vs. villains), school (grades), and Western culture's emphasis on blame over needs. - The Rosenberg story from Malaysia highlights how language shapes thought—without a “to be” verb for judging, a culture avoids pathologizing others. - Shift to observations (e.g., “I noticed the dishes were left undone”) to open doors to connection instead of closing them with judgments. - Practice daily with our workbook's exercises to rewire your communication habits! Action Steps 1. Download the Workbook: Get your Assumptions That Destroy Communication Workbook at: https://stan.store/masteryourmarriage/p/assumptions-that-destroy-communication-workbook2.

The Malay world boasts a wealth of diverse cultures. The arrival of Islam in the Malay world during the 12th to 13th centuries permanently transformed the aesthetic landscape, and even European colonisation could not stem this change. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen from the University of Helsinki talks to Dr. Dzul Afiq bin Zakaria and Dr. Wahyuni Masyidah Binti Md Isa from the Faculty of Creative Arts, University of Malaya about the localisation of Islamic arts in Malaysia. They illuminate the core of Islamic arts, which view art as a reflection of their faith. In Islam, there is no fundamental distinction between spiritual and secular art, enabling the qualities of Islamic architecture and arts to rise above mere aesthetics and utility. Dr. Dzul Afiq bin Zakaria, a distinguished scholar and artist, possesses artwork that can be shared with our audience to elucidate the relationship between culture, philosophy, and the arts within the Malay world. Dr. Wahyuni Masyidah Binti Md Isa's research employs Motion Capture technology to chart and conserve Islamic art. For example, Senaman Melayu Tua is a therapeutic exercise rooted in Malay culture. This exercise harmoniously integrates with both Malay culture and Islam, yielding comprehensive positive effects on the spiritual aspect by fostering inner peace, patience, and self-awareness. Her research utilises technology to visualize the micro-lines embedded within Senaman Melayu Tua. Julie Yu-Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies and Asian studies coordinator at the Department of Cultures at the University of Helsinki (Finland). Chen is one of the Editors of the highly-ranked Journal of Chinese Political Science. Formerly, she was Editor-in-Chief of Asian Ethnicity. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's plenty of chat on social media about so-called ‘grey divorce'. But are older people around the world really splitting up in record numbers?The truth is it's hard to be sure, because reliable figures on global divorce rates don't exist. Where research has been done - most notably in the US - there's some evidence that rising numbers of people are deciding to go their separate ways later in life. We hear from three Americans, including 65 year-old Laura in Virginia. Her immediate feelings post break up - after almost 30 years of marriage - included loneliness and personal reappraisal. “It was also a complete loss of my sense of identity,” said Laura. “I had my ex husband's last name longer than I had my own name. I was a mother and my divorce coincided with my kids launching. So it was, okay, who am I now?”For 68-year-old Steven in North Carolina, who split from his husband eight years ago, new relationships also required adjustment.“It has taken time to rebuild that kind of trust on the emotional level,” he said, “and then taking your clothes off at 60 is different to taking your clothes off at 45!” Two women from Malaysia and South Africa also reveal what grey divorce is like from an adult child's point of view.

How a Boeing 777 can go missing with no verifiable physical remains makes MH 370 the greatest aviation incident ever above all previous mysteries, including Air France 447 and the infamous Amelia Earhart case. The data for what happened to MH 370 is both abundant and unstable. What appears to match the known data, and the most logical assessment of other facts, is the following scenario: the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea were the scene of a military exercise at the time of the flight's disappearance back in 2014 and 2 AWACS were monitoring the area. A pilot flying to Tokyo heard radio murmuring around the time of lost contact and the 370 co-pilot's phone made contact with a network 30min after the plane turned around and headed back towards Malaysia before turning again toward the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean where, according to Inmarsat data, it flew south for several hours. The plane did not crash and one of the pilots apparently attempted to establish contact through alternative means, indicating the plane experienced no mechanical failures but lost communication as it was diverted. Many of the passenger's phones continued to ring after being called, something telecommunications companies had no comment on. One of the family members of the missing passengers claimed an intelligence operative approached him after going public and shared a tip that the U.S. government was fully aware of what happened. The FBI also sat on data for years before releasing it to the public or press. The satellite data for the plane's location came form Inmarsat, a UK company. Mysteriously, in the area of where the plane supposedly flew is a secretive joint US-UK military installation on Diego Garcia. Considering the presence of 20 employees from Freescale Semiconductor on board the plane flying to China, it is possible and probable that MH 370 was hijacked but likely via remote control and diverted to the military base in question, or another. What happened after could be similar to Project Northwoods. This scenario explains every piece of the puzzle. What surely did not happen was three orbs teleporting the plane, something con-artist online have sold like countless UFO scammer videos. Diego Garcia also, strangely, uses the phrase “Limuria is in our Charge,' a reference to the lost continent known as the sister of Atlantis. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Short episode because Mike's power went out. EDIT: I fixed the intro. This is a re-upload 00:00:00 – Stream Setup Chaos & the Cloud VM Plan Mike wrestles with streaming platforms and lands on a plan to run OBS/Restream through a cloud-hosted GPU VM—cool, pricey, and very “to the cloud!” 00:10:00 – “Watercooler Show” Vibes & Alex/Owen Drama The guys tee up a “big” episode, then dive into the Alex Jones–Owen Shroyer split, with speculation about what triggered the blow-up. 00:20:00 – Alex's Apology, Joe's Update, and a Goldblum Bit Alex Jones apologizes on air; Joe sends word he'll be back after finishing freelance gigs; and we get a pitch-perfect Jeff Goldblum read before pivoting topics. 00:30:00 – Did the Ancient Greeks Reach America? They unpack a Greek Reporter piece: a Plutarch dialogue, Saturn in Taurus as a travel marker, and a 75 AD eclipse are used to argue Greeks could ride Atlantic currents to North America—wild, but fun to consider. 00:40:00 – Bigfoot as… Cain? A Mormon-adjacent legend says Cain was cursed to roam the earth—and some tie that to Bigfoot. The crew riffs on the lore and how it meshes with sightings. 00:50:00 – Bigfoot Lore Deep Dive More on the Cain/Bigfoot angle, an ex-Mormon thread, even “Is Bigfoot a swimmer?” plus a recent Michigan encounter reminder. 01:00:00 – Roger Waters vs. the Osbournes & Radiohead Buzz Roger Waters' jab at Ozzy draws fire from Jack Osbourne; then chatter veers to sales stats and Radiohead's first tour in years. 01:10:00 – Network-State Utopias in Ghost Cities Balaji's “network state” gets a workout: a ghost metropolis in Malaysia as a classroom, legal headaches in Honduras, and big questions about recognition and sovereignty. 01:20:00 – AI Money Flood & a Peer-Reviewed UFO Case Anthropic/Claude closes a monster Series F at a gargantuan valuation, and—big one for UFO nerds—a 1966 Louisiana case is accepted by Progress in Aerospace Sciences after peer review. 01:30:00 – “Desert of the Weird”: 100 Piles of Ashes & AC/DC vs. Wolves A Nevada mystery: roughly 100 piles of professionally cremated remains are found near Searchlight; later, drones blasting AC/DC are used to haze wolves and protect cattle. 01:40:00 – The Lights Go Out A sudden power outage knocks the show offline; Mike signs off and promises an extra-long crazy-news segment Saturday.   Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2  

Reuniting after more than a decade since their days in This Week in Asia Podcast from 2009, Michael Smith Jr., co-host of The Generalist podcast, and Daniel Cerventus Lim, semi-retired entrepreneur and community builder in Malaysia, join us for a candid assessment of Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem evolution. In this raw conversation, Michael offers his unflinching perspective on what he calls the 'broken windows era' of Southeast Asian tech, arguing that recent alleged fraud cases like E-Fishery and Tanihub require serious consequences to restore investor confidence, while questioning whether the region was ever correctly modelled for Silicon Valley-style outcomes. Daniel shares his pivot from startup founder to search fund advocate, explaining his bullish view on acquiring profitable traditional businesses and reflects on whether the region's potential was genuinely unrealized or simply impossible to achieve. Together, they explore the shift from venture-backed unicorn dreams to bootstrap realities, debate work ethic of Southeast Asia founders in comparison with Chinese and Indian founders, and discuss why the future of Southeast Asian tech may lie in smaller, profitable exits rather than the massive IPOs once envisioned. "I think wealth creation here is very SME-focused." - Daniel Cerventus Lim "Basically whether, it's SME or startup, to me now it's just: can you build a profitable business?" - Bernard Leong "I have this philosophy that I think people don't agree with me, but we're in a broken Windows era of Southeast Asia and the only way in my opinion, the windows get fixed is if some of these people are behind bars." - Michael Smith Jr. Episode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Daniel Cerventus, Bernard Leong & Michael Smith JR [00:59] Introduction: Daniel Cerventus and Michael Smith Jr. from the Generalists Podcast [06:00] Multiple alleged frauds in Southeast Asia: E-Fishery, Tanihub [09:57] Southeast Asia in "broken windows era" [11:26] Only exits from seed to Series A [11:47] B rounds virtually gone, A rounds endangered.

VOV1 - Liên hoan phim ASEAN+3 đã khai mạc tại Thủ đô Praha, Cộng hòa Séc, với sự tham gia của 9 quốc gia, bao gồm: Việt Nam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thái Lan, Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc.

In this episode of How to Lead – 2025 Edition, Julia is joined by Zainah Anwar, a trailblazing feminist and human rights advocate whose decades of work have helped shift how women's rights are understood and practised within Islamic legal and cultural frameworks. Best known for founding Sisters in Islam and now leading the global movement Musawah, Zainah speaks with striking honesty about the realities of leadership when your work is seen as both revolutionary and controversial. From pushing for legal reform to confronting deeply patriarchal religious narratives, she reflects on what it means to stay the course when change is slow, resistance is strong, and public silence can sometimes speak louder than protest. Zainah offers few guiding principles that shape her approach to leadership: Courage: Leadership isn't the absence of fear. It's the decision to keep showing up, even when it would be easier not to. Channelled outrage: Righteous anger alone won't change a system. Progress demands patience, persistence, and the ability to transform frustration into constructive change. Strategic Legacy: Effective leadership means understanding power, timing, and consequence. Your leadership is only as meaningful as the leaders you raise behind you. Listen to this episode if you want to understand what it really takes to lead within, rather than against, complex systems. Zainah doesn't just model resilience; she redefines what effective, enduring leadership can look like in 2025 and beyond. About the Guest: Zainah Anwar co-founded two ground-breaking women's groups that engage with Islam from a rights perspective to promote equality and justice for women living in Muslim contexts. She co-founded Sisters in Islam in Malaysia in 1987 and Musawah, the global movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family, which was launched in 2009. She now chairs its Board. Zainah has worked as a journalist, a researcher, a columnist, and a senior programme officer in the Political Affairs Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat. She has written numerous articles and given talks on Islam and women's rights, political Islam, Malaysian politics and race relations.

The landscape of gasoline pricing and supply in Southeast Asia is evolving. The rising demand for low-sulfur blend stocks as Australia prepares for its transition, the effects of reduced non-oxygenated gasoline exports from India and Malaysia's upcoming subsidy increase for 95 RON gasoline--all these factors could influence regional demand, despite potential price inelasticity. In this podcast, Jenson Ong, market engagement lead, global refined oil products, Joshua Ong, senior price reporter, APAC Light Ends and Rachelle Teo, associate price reporter, APAC Clean Products PFC, discuss the intricate interplay between domestic consumption, import dependencies, and the geopolitical factors influencing the gasoline market. Stay tuned for an engaging conversation that will shed light on the critical issues affecting one of the most vital commodities in Asia.

The hosts of Mr. Zhou's Ghost Stories reunite with the director and guests of video series Mr Zhou's Ghost Stories@Singapore Sightings S2 to share behind-the-scenes moments and chilling encounters during filming. The director revealed that after shooting in Malaysia, it felt as though a “spiritual switch” had been turned on — back in Singapore, the team became more sensitive and prone to sensing unusual presences. Fortunately, they carried protective talismans given by a master. One even bore mysterious scratches, interpreted as having warded off an attempted possession. A guest remarked at first sight, “You carry a very strong energy,” confirming the talisman’s protective effect. Meanwhile, Mindy shared a spine-chilling experience at home: her three-year-old daughter, placed safely in a raised crib, dressed in a sleep sack she couldn’t remove on her own, was seen sound asleep on the baby monitor. Yet, at 10 p.m., the child appeared at the second-floor staircase crying, “Mommy.” Strangely, both the baby monitor and CCTV had gone dark at the same time… 《周公讲鬼》七夕特别篇上线！主持群与【周公讲鬼 哪里有鬼2】导演嘉宾齐聚，分享幕后故事与拍摄趣事。导演与嘉宾透露，在马来西亚拍摄后，灵感似乎被“开启”，回到新加坡后变得更敏感，容易感应到异常。所幸随身携带师傅所赐符咒，符纸表面甚至出现刮痕，被解读为挡下“鬼上身”的前兆。某嘉宾初见便直言“你身上有股强大的能量”，印证了符咒确实发挥保护作用；Mindy分享发生在家中的离奇事件：三岁的女儿被安置在加高的婴儿床里，穿着无法自行脱下的睡袋，被监控摄像头确认安稳入睡。谁料深夜十点，孩子竟出现在二楼楼梯口哭喊“妈妈”。诡异的是，房内婴儿机与闭路电视同时“断片”...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vietnam and South Korea have "visa-easing tricks up their sleeves" as China's October Golden Week nears. And, with two-thirds of 2025 completed, attentions are turning to the peak end-of-year travel season across Asia. That's the backdrop for a frenetic month of travel activity region-wide in August. For our regular monthly round-up, Gary and Hannah travel around ASEAN with stopovers in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, plus China and South Korea. Along the way, we discuss Vietnam's new 2025 arrivals target, plus Airbnb's big numbers to argue its economic value across APAC markets. Kuala Lumpur talks airport terminal inter-linkage and Thai Vietjet announces ambitious expansion plans, while the financial costs of the Thailand-Cambodia weigh heavily in both countries. Finally, could senior tour guides in the Philippines herald a new era of engaging mature tourism professionals to service travellers from ageing source markets? .

For most modern believers, miracles feel like stories locked in the pages of scripture. Science explains almost everything today, and medicine is the first place we turn when sickness strikes.  What if some healings can't be explained by scans, surgeries, or prescriptions?  What if, in an age of data and diagnostics, God is still doing what only He can do, restoring, reversing, and renewing in ways science cannot? That's exactly what this episode of Time to Transform explores. From asthma disappearing overnight, to infertility reversed against all medical odds, to a stroke reversed after an hour of unconsciousness, these aren't vague testimonies. These are healings measured, documented, and confirmed, living reminders that God's power is not confined to ancient times. My guests are women who straddle both worlds: faith and medicine. Susan, a church leader who once lived with chronic asthma and infertility, shares multiple decades-long healings that even doctors admitted defied explanation. Janet is a nurse who doubted miracles after watching her brother live with cerebral palsy. She tells the story of her own medically verified healing when a fibroid disappeared, proof that God's hand still moves, even when doubt clouds belief. In this episode, we explore what happens when faith collides with science, and what it means to trust a God who is still able to do the impossible.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Asthma gone overnight without prayerful expectation Could a casual, half-hearted prayer really end decades of hospital visits, inhalers, and wheezing attacks instantly? -Infertility reversed with “zero chance” reports What happens when a couple told they had no viable sperm count ends up conceiving not once, but twice? -When prayer outruns the “golden hour” of stroke treatment How does a man collapse with textbook stroke symptoms, miss the critical 60-minute window for treatment, and still walk away without a trace of damage? -Healing in the face of hereditary disease Why did a nurse, genetically predisposed to gynecological illness, see her fibroid vanish on scans without surgery or medication? -From doubt to undeniableHow did years of watching her brother live with cerebral palsy convince Janet that healing wasn't real? What finally shattered her unbelief when she experienced a miracle herself? Guest Bio Susan Toor is a committed church leader whose life was deeply shaped by the burden of chronic asthma and persistent infertility. Despite years of medical care, neither condition abated, until a seemingly casual prayer brought both breathing and conception. Today, Susan serves as a bridge between spirituality and science, offering medically documented stories of sustained healing that defy medical explanation and invite a reconsideration of what faith and divine intervention can look like in our modern world. Janet Joseph Selvanathan is a Malaysian Wound and Stoma Care Nurse with over 15 years of experience in critical care, wound management, and patient education. She began her career as an ICU nurse in Malaysia before moving to Abu Dhabi in 2015, where she has since served at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. Over the past decade, she has become a trusted specialist in advanced wound therapies, stoma care, and pressure injury prevention, while leading hospital-wide audits and quality improvement initiatives. Beyond her professional achievements, Janet is a born-again Christian whose faith drives her passion for spirit-led healthcare transformation. Actively serving in her local church as part of the welcome team, she brings warmth, encouragement, and compassion both inside and outside the hospital. She believes in combining clinical excellence with dignity and hope-bringing healing that touches both body and soul.     About Your Host Hosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD, MBA, a triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

They discuss the Bootstraps docu-series heading to South by Southwest, Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts consultation, and new Guaranteed Basic Income pilots in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. The hosts examine institutional fears of Trump, a new study on bright children in low-income households, and Malaysia's bold push that could make it the first nation with a true UBI. They also explore UBI legislation in Colombia, a UK program for farmers, and the importance of universality in preventing corruption. Alongside these updates, the team dives into how anime (High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World) depicts UBI, the struggles of neurodivergent people navigating bureaucracy, and the reality that Americans spend four hours a day worrying about money. This wide-ranging conversation blends news, culture, and research to highlight why UBI remains one of the most urgent and transformative policies of our time.See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.usFollow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Bob Weishaar, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark,Tricia Garrett, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, John Steinberger, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Steve Roth, Miki Phagan, Walter Schaerer, Elizabeth Corker, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun ,' @Justin_Dart , Felix Ling, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, centuryfalcon64, Deanna McHugh, Stephen Castro-Starkey, Tommy Caruso, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level or above.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership#universalbasicincome #BasicIncome #UBI
