In 1898, the British founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, invited the Muslim leader Aga Khan III around to her London home for tea. They were two of the most famous figures of the 20th century and their discussion was wide-ranging, touching on faith, healthcare and even Queen Victoria. The Aga Khan, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah, spoke to the BBC about the meeting in 1950. This programme was produced and presented by Rachel Naylor, in collaboration with BBC Archives.

During the 1940s, a playboy spy became one of wartime's most successful double agents, as well as the reported inspiration behind James Bond. A gambler and womanizer who spoke several languages, Dusko Popov was approached by a friend working for the Abwehr, Germany's military intelligence.But Dusko was vehemently anti-Nazi. He went straight to the British and volunteered his services, adopting the codename 'Agent Tricycle'. Intelligence officers then created realistic - but false - information for Dusko to pass back to his Nazi spymaster.And it was during this time, that Dusko's path crossed with a British naval intelligence officer called Ian Fleming, later the creator of James Bond. Jane Wilkinson has been through the BBC archives to find out more.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by and curious about the past.

Formula 1 is in a moment of pause. The 2025 racing cars have been wheeled into storage, and the racetracks have fallen silent. But inside the top-secret F1 factories, each team is facing a winter like never before. Revised rules for 2026 are reshaping the cars and redefining what powers them, and that means the pressure is on for the hundreds working back at base.Before diving into the future, the team at Brixworth, the home of Mercedes High Performance Powertrains, are marking the end of an era. It's here that the engine - which drove Mercedes to eight straight Constructors' Championships between 2014 and 2021 - first came to life. Brixworth boss Hywel Thomas has planned a very special celebration to mark the end of this engine cycle and our expert guides Sarah Holt and Holly Samos were there to join in the festivities. This is an important time of transition for Formula 1's engine suppliers. Thomas and his Brixworth team have been developing the new engine that will power Mercedes and three other teams, on the grid in 2026.There is parallel work going on at Brackley, where Mercedes Technical Director James Allison is overseeing all other aspects of the new season's car design. The British engineer has more than three decades' experience in F1 but even he is a little daunted by what he calls the “biggest ever” rule change in the sport's history.While the work intensifies inside the F1 factories, it is, in contrast, time for the drivers to unwind. Italian Mercedes star Kimi Antonelli is heading home to spend some time with his family and friends, while Haas driver Ollie Bearman is holidaying in the Maldives before spending Christmas with his family in Monaco. Back at base, the Haas team are hard at work preparing for F1's new era in 2026 and that means both sides of the garage are collaborating too. Laura Muller - who works alongside Esteban Ocon and is an F1 trailblazer as the sport's first female race engineer - has just wrapped up her first season on the pitwall. Like Bearman, she knows the experiences of 2025 will help her navigate what lies ahead.F1 race-winner Valtteri Bottas is preparing for his return to the grid with the Cadillac Formula 1 team in South Australia. But even in an idyllic spot for winter training, the Finnish favourite is already counting down to pre-season testing and getting to the first race in Melbourne, Australia as he starts the next chapter of his F1 career.F1: Back at Base is an IMG Production for the BBC, hosted by Rosamund Pike.Co-hosts & Executive Producers are Sarah Holt and Holly Samos.

Four years after our original antibiotic myth-busting episode (Ep 60), we're back with Dr Riati Scarborough to talk antibiotic prescribing habits. This time we're joined by fellow stewardship expert Dr Laura Hardefeldt, and this time we're asking the harder question: Have we actually changed?The good news? Some prescribing habits are shifting. We're seeing shorter courses and less ‘just in case antibiotic usage. But let's not pat ourselves on the back too quickly. Because some of our most entrenched habits are still alive and well, like how we treat skin disease, and our ongoing love affair with amoxiclav.This episode is a practical, clinically grounded update on what the evidence says in 2026 - and how to make realistic changes without compromising patient care.We cover:Why skin disease remains the single biggest driver of antimicrobial resistance in small animal practice, and what to do about itAmoxicillin vs amoxiclav: when de-escalation is not just safe, but smarterWhy convenience (you know the brand we're talking about right…) is not a clinical indicationTrimethoprim-sulphonamide and the real story on KCS riskDentals, heart murmurs, and what prophylaxis actually looks like in 2026Simple in-clinic stewardship strategies that genuinely shift prescribing behaviourThis isn't about perfection.

Over the past few years, South Asia has witnessed a striking wave of mass protests toppling governments and upending long-standing political arrangements in countries ranging from Bangladesh to Nepal and Sri Lanka. These upheavals are often explained in terms of domestic factors—such as corruption, economic mismanagement, and democratic backsliding. But in a recent Foreign Affairs essay titled “The Folly of India's Illiberal Hegemony,” the scholar Muhib Rahman argues that there is a larger regional story at play—one that implicates not just local leaders, but also India and the United States. The essay challenges the assumption that India's regional leadership has been a stabilizing force and asks whether New Delhi's choices have instead helped create openings for China across South Asia.To talk more about the essay, Muhib joins Milan on the show this week. Muhib is a Perry World House Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. His research sits at the intersection of international security, emerging technologies, and the politics of the Global South. He has served as a Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University and holds a Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas-Austin.Muhib and Milan discuss India's illiberal hegemony in its neighborhood, the downturn in Bangladesh-India ties, and the enabling role of the United States. Plus, the two discuss the drivers of the “India Out” phenomenon in countries ranging from Nepal to the Maldives and how China is positioning itself to take advantage.Episode notes:1.     Muhib Rahman, “Bangladesh's Quiet Pivot to China,” The National Interest, October 27, 2025.2.     Muhib Rahman, “Explaining Trump's Surprising Turn to Pakistan,” War on the Rocks, October 1, 2025.3.     “Why Washington Is Wooing Pakistan (with Uzair Younus),” Grand Tamasha, October 1, 2025.4.     “Sri Lanka's Peaceful Revolution (with Neil DeVotta),” Grand Tamasha, January 29, 2025.

What happens when a birthday, a mother–daughter healing arc, and a whole lot of Spirit show up in the same recording? You get an episode that's equal parts weepy, hilarious, grounding, and wildly affirming. Polly Green and her mom, Maya, join Sarah and Jane for a conversation about intuition that interrupts your day, mediumship coming online, and what it really looks like to learn boundaries when you're sensitive (and when life has felt like “WTF are we doing here?”). Along the way, we hear about sobriety as a doorway to spiritual clarity, why nature and water can be medicine, and how an honest conversation can transform decades of tension into something they lovingly call “deep fun.” There's also a masterclass in intention-setting (hello, Maldives whale shark!), the tenderness of making peace before a transition, and the simplest, truest mantra of the whole hour: life is trustable… maybe.   Key Takeaways Sometimes intuition speaks once—and that's the point. A single “voice” can be loud enough to change how you trust yourself forever. Sobriety can be a spiritual boundary, not just a lifestyle choice. They name alcohol as a quick way to lose energy sovereignty—especially for sensitive people. Mediumship without boundaries can feel scary, not magical. The difference-maker is learning to choose what you connect with—and what you don't. Nature is nervous system medicine. Water, rivers, and the outdoors aren't just pretty—they can be clearing, resetting, and stabilizing. Healing a parent–child relationship can be surprisingly practical. Say the hard thing. Let it land. Let repair be real. Then—laugh. (That part matters.) “Deep fun” is a legit spiritual path. Depth doesn't have to be grim. Joy can be devotional. Intentions work better when they're specific. Not just “have a good trip”—but every step: airport lines, flights, energy, even the whale shark. Your identity can evolve without losing what you love. Letting go of ego around a passion can bring it back to you… cleaner and sweeter. A new mantra for uncertain times: “Life is trustable… maybe.” (And sometimes “maybe” is enough to keep going.)   “I've always had a very strong intuition and I've always listened to it.” —Polly “People don't really need me. I want to help them have their own connection without me.” —Polly “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it.” —Maya “Life is trustable… maybe.” —Maya   Polly Green's Website: https://www.pollyandtheotherside.com/ Medium Curious Website: https://www.mediumcurious.com Jane's Website: https://www.janemorganmedium.com Sarah's Website: https://www.sarahrathke.com Jane's new cohort 'Source Studio'; https://www.janemorganmedium.com/higher-calling Instagram: @mediumcuriouspod Medium Curious Substack 

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

What happens when you sit down with a lighting designer who's spent two decades navigating one of the world's most dynamic, culturally complex markets—and ask him how culture, design, and architecture really intersect?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel travels to Dubai to sit down with Siddharth (Sid) Mathur, a veteran lighting designer who has witnessed firsthand the transformation of a city that went from drilling pilings for the Burj Khalifa to becoming one of the most internationally influential design hubs in the world. This isn't a conversation about fixtures or specifications—it's a deep dive into the forces that shape how we design, who we design for, and why understanding people is the single most important skill a designer can have.Sid walksreveals why uniformity is the death of design, why a 70-year-old client and a 25-year-old client want completely different things from their lighting (even if they live in the same city), and why the most important part of any project isn't the rendering—it's the person-to-person connection that makes everything else possible.But this conversation goes deeper. It's about the tension between creative vision and client expectation, the exhausting reality of juggling five different cultural contexts in a single day, and why lighting design—despite all its challenges—remains one of the most rewarding professions for those willing to treat it like the marathon it is. Cedar shares why he pushes the envelope on every project, why lighting is the makeup that keeps the perfect marriage of architecture and culture going, and why one person's sparkle is always another person's glare.

This sleep hypnosis is designed for nights when the body feels overstimulated or tense and needs rhythmic, sensory reassurance rather than mental effort. Set aboard a quiet yacht in the Maldives, the session uses gentle ocean wave patterns and minimal, permissive language to help the nervous system settle naturally. Rather than focusing on thoughts, emotions, or visualization, the experience allows attention to soften and entrain to steady movement and sound.Ideal before bed when stress lingers in the body, restlessness is present, or the mind resists traditional relaxation techniques. The result is a gradual easing of physical tension, slower breathing, and a smooth, effortless transition into deep sleep.

The Seychelles is what happens when nature decides to show off. An archipelago of 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean like emeralds tossed by a careless deity, this nation combines granite boulders the size of apartment blocks, beaches so white they seem computer-generated, and forests so ancient they make the Amazon look like a startup. It is expensive to reach, tricky to navigate, and absolutely worth every penny and logistical headache. Welcome to the Maldives of Africa – only with more personality.Love the pod? Get the guide!

In this episode, I'm breaking down something that should be simple but often isn't: how to plan your fertility future. You don't need to be a fertility specialist or have a science degree to understand the basics of fertility planning. I want everyone to approach this the same way you'd plan a vacation: with intention, research, and realistic expectations. The most important thing I want you to know? Humans ovulate just one egg per month, and that egg only has about a 15% chance of being genetically healthy, even in our twenties. This fundamental truth changes everything about how we should approach family planning. Throughout this episode, I share my three-rule framework that I live by:  What do I want?  What is it going to take to get what I want?  And am I willing to do it?  When applied to fertility, these questions help you get concrete and honest about your timeline, your options, and the steps you need to take now to avoid struggle later. I explain why fertility treatment is really about "egg rescue" - saving eggs from being lost forever - and why planning your fertility deserves at least as much attention as planning that dream vacation to the Maldives. In this episode, we cover: Understanding that we ovulate only one egg per month with a 15% chance of genetic viability at best The reality of conception timelines: why it can take 6-12 months for healthy couples to conceive Miscarriage statistics and why 20-30% of pregnancies end in the first trimester through no fault of your own The three-question framework for planning your fertility future: what you want, what it takes, and your willingness to act How egg freezing works as "IVF without the F" and why it's about rescuing eggs, not depleting them Age-related fertility decline: why your chances at 41 (10% viable eggs) are dramatically different than in your twenties Preparing for pregnancy like you'd prepare for a vacation: getting medically ready, addressing health issues, and genetic carrier screening Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Ever feel like your anxiety or fear of failure is just... who you are?The perfectionism. The overthinking. The constant pressure to “get it right.”It can feel like it's wired into your DNA.But what if it isn't?Dr Rod Irwin, vet, former clinic owner and author tells us how who went from panic attacks in an empty vet clinic to a completely rewired life - thanks to neuroscience.After hitting breaking point, a chance encounter with neuroscience set him on a 15-year journey into neuroplasticity and positive psychology - and ultimately changed how he led.Together, we unpack how our brains are shaped by past experiences, why vets are particularly vulnerable to negative belief loops, and how we can deliberately rewire our thinking to reduce anxiety, improve performance and build healthier workplace cultures.We explore:Why early experiences like bullying and perfectionism hardwire us for burnoutWhat neuroplasticity actually means, and why this isn't just “positive thinking”How emotions strengthen or weaken your neural pathwaysDr Irwin's first 3 practical steps to start rewiring your brainWhy your identity is the key to lasting changeHow clinic leaders unconsciously set the emotional tone for the entire teamAnd how reconnecting to purpose and values can transform your cultureThis is a science-backed, practical conversation on mindset, leadership and wellbeing – tailored to the veterinary world.Because your brain isn't broken.It's just wired by experience - and you can change the wiring.⁠⁠Find out how we can support you in your vet career at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevetvault.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠Subscribe to our weekly newsletter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for Hubert's favourite clinical and non-clinical learnings from the week.Grab one last handful of spots in the Maldives for our surf/dive vet conference with Vets On Tour⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode, we will learn from Lizzie Andare, MScOT, OTR/L (she/her). Lizzie is an occupational therapist and researcher from Kenya whose work explores the intersection of decolonial practice, disability, and forced displacement in the Global South and is passionate about social and occupational justice in underrepresented communities. Her work spans refugee camps in Kenya, grassroots rehabilitation in Palestine, and neurodivergent learners in the Maldives. Grounded in an occupational and intersectional lens, she centers lived experience, co-production, and occupational justice—particularly in underrepresented and under-resourced contexts. Lizzie's practice moves fluidly between direct therapy, community engagement, policy advocacy, and research, with a commitment to disrupting systemic inequities and amplifying marginalized voices. She is the voice behind @OTintheMargins, where she shares fieldnotes and reflections from the edges of occupational therapy practice.Contact & Resources:You can promote my work by engaging with the content I share.

Throughout 2025, a massive youth protest movement took shape across the world. From Bangladesh, to Nepal, to Morocco, to Kenya, to the Maldives, young people were taking to the streets to demand, among other things, job security, improved standards of living, and the toppling of corrupt regimes. And in a number of cases their ambitious demands were met.Today we speak to the BBC's social media investigations correspondent, Marianna Spring, about how social media helped spark a movement that transcended borders, and where the so-called, 'Gen Z Revolution' goes from here.Producers: Xandra Ellin and Cat FarnsworthSound engineer: Travis EvansSenior news editor: China Collins(Photo: A protester carries a banner featuring a Malagasy version of the logo of the popular Japanese manga One Piece, during a nationwide youth-led demonstration over frequent power outages and water shortages, in Antananarivo, Madagascar, October 13, 2025.

In this episode we discuss when **Joe Quirk** recounts the turbulent history of the **seasteading movement**, detailing a decade-long struggle to establish autonomous floating societies. He describes a cycle of **political betrayals** and media hostility, ranging from abandoned agreements in **French Polynesia** to the life-threatening legal pursuit of pioneers in **Thailand**. **Quirk** emphasizes that the movement's survival depends on the power of **compelling storytelling** to overcome negative propaganda and government opposition. Despite numerous setbacks, he highlights recent progress in **Panama** and the **Maldives** as evidence of the project's resilience. Ultimately, the narrative frames seasteading as an **antifragile mission** that gains strength and global reach through every attempt to suppress it.#Seasteading #FloatingSocieties #AutonomousFloatingCities #JoeQuirk #SeasteadingMovement #FrenchPolynesia #PanamaSeasteading #MaldivesProgress #Antifragile #AntifragileSeasteading #SeasteadingResilience #FloatingFreedom #OceanLibertarianism #SeaStead #BlueFrontier #PoliticalBetrayal #GovernmentOpposition #CompellingStorytelling #OvercomePropaganda #SeasteadingSetbacksJoin our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

None of Pakistan's PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan's is most creative. But Pakistani example of dictatorial ‘innovation' hasn't inspired other military strongmen in the Subcontinent. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives have all rejected the example of Pakistan.
