Agenda 16.2.26 - Chris Robertshaw and Future IoMFormer Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw has a new political vision for the Isle of Man. Describing itself as a movement towards good governance, Future Isle of Man has three core pillars to its thinking. ‘The Democratic Process', which introduces the concept of holding Referenda into our existing system; ‘A Unified Government' which bring government operations together under a single legal entity; and the introduction of high level cross-departmental strategic thinking. Is the Manx political system fundamentally broken or have we just been the really, really unlucky victim of events over the past few decades?

Cattitude - Cat podcast about cats as pets on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)
On this episode of Cattitude, host Michelle Fern dives into the fascinating world of cat influencers with Ashley, CEO of Pet Influencer Secrets and proud cat mom to Chip — the “world's most famous Manx cat” — and Biscuit, her adorable calico sidekick. Ever wondered what it really takes to turn your cat into a social media star? From storytelling and brand collaborations to behind-the-scenes realities (including picky cats and litter mishaps!), Ashley shares insider tips on how everyday cat parents can build authentic audiences — and even turn content into a business. They also tackle the rise of AI in pet content, how to avoid brand scams, and why emotional connection — not just cute photos — is the secret to success.

The Isle of Man's native language and status as the world's first whole-nation UNESCO Biosphere Reserve were highlighted at the Celtic Forum in Scotland this month. It was the first time the Isle of Man has attended the forum, which brings together Celtic regions to collaborate on shared interests. Education Minister Daphne Caine tells Agenda all about this relatively new Forum and how the Isle of Man could benefit from it. The Forum appears to offer some big opportunities for Manx musicians and linguists but could it provide invaluable links for Manx business. Oh yes, … and how's the new Castle Rushen High School progressing
Shoh ny cooishyn orroo haink Daniel Quayle ass 'Kiaull as Cooish' as chyndaays 'sy Ghaelg jeh paart jeh skeeal-ferrish Grimm ass 'Claare ny Gael'. Here are the topics Daniel Quayle referred to in 'Kiaull as Cooish' and a translation into Manx of part of a Grimms' fairy-tale from 'Claare ny Gael'.
Manx farmers are being challenged at the moment with several significant issues hitting all at once. As if the debilitating cattle disease Blue-tongue, a change in UK and IoM cattle health status, and ongoing problems with the meatplant weren't bad enough a very wet winter and uncertainly over animal waste charging are adding to farmers woes. Can the Isle of Man Government's stated aim of achieving food security for us be delivered in such trying circumstances. There's no doubt times are hard for Manx farmers who are all hoping things will mooooove in a better direction soon.
A House of Keys debate in February 1926 was not, apparently, notable for decorum. In a Manx translation of Grimms' fairy-tales, a bridegroom turns out to be less than decorous. However, the programme is decorated with music from the Celtic countries.

The Manx Patriot was a newspaper of which there are only 17 surviving copies from 1824 and 1825. In February 1826 there was a court case. We're picking our way through a Manx translation of Grimm's Fairy-Tales, and there's music from the Celtic countries to enjoy on the way.

The day's news in under half an hour with Beth Espey, on the day Manx politicians voted to remove the Bishop's vote.
Depending on which side of the growing divide in Manx politics you sit, last week was the best of times or the worst of times. As the old Treasury Minister faced the Cannan guillotine a new Treasury Minister rose back up from the political abyss. So what can Chris Thomas really achieve in the relatively short eight months he has as new Treasury Minister? And was departing Treasury Minister Alex Allinson naively persuing his personal ideology or pragmatically implementing what Tynwald thought it wanted? Find out on this evening's extended Agenda. Are we heading to a political winter of despair or is a spring of hope just round the corner?

An Island Life special looking at two decades of the Arrane Son Mannin, the competition that finds a new Manx song every year to represent the Isle of Man at the huge Pan Celtic Festival in Ireland. Fiona McArdle, Bob Carswell, Nicola Tooms and Laura Rowles have a cooish with Christy DeHaven, sharing memories and musings about both events and look ahead to ASM 2026.
The Tynwald Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice is reviewing the Manx Ministerial System which has been in place now for nearly four decades. So far the Committee has heard plenty of evidence to suggest that in good times Council of Ministers works very effectively but when circumstances are difficult CoMin has struggled to take the tough decisions. On Agenda we hear part of the evidence given by Chief Minister Alf Cannan who seems keen to focus more power in the Chief Minister's hands. Is that good for democracy and will it help get things done, or is this returning us to the days when the governor had absolute power to rule?
Blein ny Gaelgey is a year-long, Island-wide celebration of the Manx language. The Year's website claims that it's for everybody – Manx speakers, people who don't know any Manx yet, people who call the Isle of Man home, and visitors to these shores and it will be fun and accessible, and provide ways to engage for everyone! On Perspective this week we hear from two of those hoping we'll all be dusting down our Moghrey Mies and Fastyr Mies and making Blein ny Gaelgey a great occasion for our Manx Language. If you're a little cynical about the language then this week's show might well soften even the hardest of hearts.

This week on the podcast we welcome Robi Bean, who drummed with Primus for about half of 1986. Although he doesn't appear on any demo tapes, and live footage of his playing with Primus is scarce, Robi played an important part in the formation of many early Primus songs that would become fan favorites, including Tommy The Cat. Robi details how he first worked with Les Claypool in a band called Manx, and how a visit to psychic presaged his later involvement in Primus, and recalls some choice moments with Les and Todd. If you're in the Bay Area, you can catch Robi drumming for numerous blues bands around town, including regular gigs at The Saloon on Grant Avenue: https://thesaloonsf.com/the-bandsGet involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money

VYS0053 | The Mongoose Files - Vayse to Face with Gayle Fidler - Show notes Ever since their childhood days reading the Usborne Book of Ghosts, Hine and Buckley have been obsessing over the mysterious mercurial mammalian Manx marvel - Gef the Talking Mongoose. And finally bringing Gef chat to Vayse is writer, paranormal researcher and selectively supportive spouse to a lard eating champion, Gayle Fidler. In recent years Gayle and her curious collective of cryptid-hunters have made a pilgrimage to the Isle of Man to investigate Gef and immerse themselves in strangeness of his story. Her incredible adventures include some uncanny synchronicities, an unlikely team-up with a movie star, an unexpected connection to Aleister Crowley... and the unpredictable guidance of a certain Dr Allen Greenfield...

A few months ago I met a couple who had recently opened their own brewery on the Isle of Man. I was really compelled by their story, that one of them had lived on the island for most of his life, and how the other had returned from a life in London. Together they were trying to bring modern beer styles to a British dependency with a population of just 85,000 people, surrounded by the Irish Sea.That was Nick Scarffe and Elizabeth Townsend, the founders of Kerroo Brewing. Since then we've met on several occasions and their story has only grown more compelling, so the next time they arranged to hop on the ferry and visit Manchester, I managed to pin them down for an hour* and have an in depth conversation about their brewery.I was fascinated to learn that the beer culture on the Isle of Man remains relatively traditional, with a handful of independent breweries—from the 175 year old family brewer, Okells, to more up-to-date outfits like Bushy's—but many residents hadn't yet been exposed to such wonders as hazy IPA…A keen homebrewer, Nick had dialled in his recipes, and when she turned back up on the island during lockdown, the two shared beers, started dating, and eventually decided to do what they thought was the most reasonable thing: to open a brewery of their own.Operating in the village of Port Erin at the southwestern tip of the island, they run a 1000 litre brewery and a small taproom that opens monthly. We had the chance to chat about the struggles they've faced bringing modern beer styles to a market that remains relatively traditional—at least compared to mainland cities like Liverpool and Manchester—and how challenging it has been getting their beer out into the wider market. Despite this, they're still giving it a go. And take it from me, the beers are delicious, hence why I found their whole story, and this conversation, so compelling. Thanks to Nick and Elizabeth for joining me in this conversation.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Get ‘Er Brewed.

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT) Manx shearwaters are seabirds that nest off the coast of Wales. To study the birds’ homing instincts, scientists tagged and transported several Manx shearwaters to various points around the globe. They released the birds to see if they could make their way back to the coast of Wales in just twelve days. Each one did. One bird, which was released in Boston, traveled 250 miles a day from a place it had never been before to get back home. So, the next time someone calls you a birdbrain, take it as a compliment. God has placed a homing instinct in us as well. Call it a homesickness for Heaven. We long for a place we’ve never been before. That’s how we’re wired. The author of Ecclesiastes said that God “has planted eternity in the human heart” (3:11 NLT). In our next set of devotions, we’re going to explore what the Bible says about Heaven, the beacon for our homing instinct. Some people tend to go mystical when they talk about the afterlife. They describe Heaven as a state of mind rather than an actual place. The Bible, on the other hand, describes Heaven as a real place. Jesus told His followers, “There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2 NLT). The author of Hebrews described Heaven as a city. “But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them” (Hebrews 11:16 NLT). Jesus identified Heaven as the dwelling place of God when He began the Lord’s Prayer with the words “Our Father in heaven” (Matthew 6:9 NLT). Luke identified it as the dwelling place of angels. “When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about’” (Luke 2:15 NLT). Hebrews 12:23 identifies Heaven as the dwelling place of believers who have died. “You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect” (NLT). Our brief time on earth is a pale imitation—a sneak preview—of what awaits us in Heaven. C. S. Lewis wrote, “All the things that have ever deeply possessed your soul have been hints of heaven—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear.” Lewis also wrote , “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is I was made for another world…Earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy but to arouse, to suggest, the real thing.” Heaven is the real thing that we long for. Reflection question: How can you tell that you have eternity planted in your heart?

Jaega Wise heads to the Isle of Man to find out what's driving a growing movement to produce more of the island's own food, and why its approach might matter beyond its shores. She hears about the challenges facing producers, how the fishing industry is adapting, and what it means to work within a UNESCO biosphere. Just 6% of food bought in Manx shops is locally produced — a figure the Manx NFU is campaigning to change. Meanwhile, the Government has announced reforms to primary school meals after discovering half of the food served was ultra-processed, and very little was locally sourced.
