Thursday is an auspicious day of the week because of its association with Colum Killey, the Dove of the Church. His feast day is 9th June, though for various reasons Laa Colum Killey is celebrated in Kirk Arbory later in the month. Plus more from Grimms' fairy-tales in Manx and music from the Celtic nations.

Manx Care's mission is to become the best small Island health and social care system in the world. An ambitious aspiration but few people would argue against it I imagine. That said, despite a substantial uplift in funding, Manx Care seems some distance away from its aspiration, and incapable of sticking to the budget set for it. So what's going wrong and how do we cure Manx Care's ailments. The Minister gives her diagnosis on Perspective. Can we really have the world's best health service without draining precious resources from the rest of Isle of Man Government? It's a big ask.

Brad Pitt and Archibald Knox, Manx air is best, the Andreas Digester and solar panels, tatty Manx footpaths, self-service tills implications & the yellow legged Asian Hornet and our bees. It's Mannin Line with Andy Wint - Wednesday 3rd June 2026

Nos hemos subido a una de las motos más exclusivas del mercado, la Norton 1200 Manx R, una moto de cuatro cilindros en V, con cerca de 210 cv de potencia y con un precio, en sus versiones más equipadas, de cerca de 50.000 euros. ¿Qué tiene esta moto para costar este dineral?

También hablaremos de motos para bolsillos más cercanos a la realidad, porque Cyclone tiene una moto trail, la RX 600 que no llega a los 6.000 euros y que tiene de todo para viajar o para tu día a día.

Norton is back. And the company that saved it isn't British — it's Indian.In this episode, evo India Editor Sirish Chandran and Executive Editor Aatish Mishra go deep on one of motorcycling's most unlikely comeback stories — how TVS Motor Company acquired a bankrupt Norton, poured serious money into it, rebuilt the factory, the workforce, and the engineering, and then produced the Manx R Superbike as proof that it worked.They cover TVS's investment and what Norton actually did with it, how the brand was upgraded from the ground up, which Indian components are on the Manx R, styling and first ride impressions, the V4 engine history and what makes it special, performance impressions from Spain, India launch plans, motorsport ambitions, how former JLR design boss Gerry McGovern is involved, and why Norton's revival matters to India.This is just the beginning.evo India is India's leading automotive enthusiast magazine and podcast — covering cars, motorcycles, motorsport, and the culture around them.

With a general election this year, there was a long and difficult campaign to get the House of Keys to agree, as shown by a leader in the Mona's Herald from 24th May 1865. Grimms' fairy-tale in Manx translation about the girl as white as snow ends in torture and death amid a wedding celebration! Plus music from the Celtic countries.

In April's Tynwald sitting the Health Minister moved a General Debate on the Mandate to Manx Care and Manx Care Operating Plan. With the recently anounced resignation of Manx Care's Chief Executive Teresa Cope, I thought it was timely to listen to highlights from the debate. Other than the Minister and Chief Minister just two MHKs took part in the debate. We hear their contributions and a gentle spat between two MLCs who also spoke on this week's Agenda. Is health spending really under control or is Tynwald just kicking that can of worms down the road?

Manx Gaelic and the state: opportunities and challenges was the title of a talk delivered last week by Dr Christopher Lewin, from the University of Edinburgh. As this is Blein ny Gaelgey - Year of the Manx Language it seems a timely opportunity to take stock of the Isle of Man's achivements in reviving our native language over the past four decades. The talk considered what further steps could be taken to consolidate the position of Manx during the course of the next Tynwald. To find out more listen in to this week's Agenda. Does Tynwald need to get its Act together on support for the Manx language?

As well as more in a Manx translation of Grimms' fairy tales, there's music from the Celtic countries. However, early in the morning of 10th May 1897 was when tragedy struck the Great Snaefell Mine, causing the death of 19 miners, but it's a part of Manx history that we shouldn't forget.

Tynwald debated a couple of items about tourism last week. The Enterprise Minister brought a report to Tynwald on the possibility of introducing a tourism after being asked to do so by Tynwald. The report was received though not without some criticism from Onchan MHK Rob Callister. There was then a motion from Manx National Heritage on the sale of the old Castletown police station with the cash strapped heritage organisation unable to find a sustainable long term use for the building. Hear the conflicting views on these items on this week's Agenda. MNH clearly needs the money but would a tourism levy work for Manx tourism?

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadert speaks with Kamloops, BC author Katie Welch about her novel, Ladder to Heaven (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025).  In 2045 an earthquake ravages the Pacific Coast of North America and the world shifts. Suddenly people and animals can understand each other, while the chaos of climate change combines with the destruction of the earthquake in terrifying ways. Inland, where she should be safe, Del Samara finds her life spiralling out of control. Struggling with addiction and with her ranch in ashes around her, Del decides her family would be better off without her. Leaving her daughters behind, she retreats to her father's fishing cabin with her dog, Manx. When she emerges three years later, she finds the world since the earthquake has become a very different place and she begins a dangerous journey to Vancouver Island to find her family and, perhaps, find peace. Katie Welch lives in Kamloops and on Cortes Island, BC. Her debut novel, Mad Honey, was nominated for the 2023 OLA Evergreen Prize. She is a two-time alumnus of the Banff Centre and was a finalist for the 2023 CBC Short Story Prize. Find her online here. Learn more about your ad choices.

For our first proper episode of the year we thought we'd treat you to something a little further afield than what we'd usually cover and tell you the tale of one of our Celtic cousins across the sea. Hit play and hear all about a guy who puts the Man in the Isle of Man from the hosts that put the Isle in 'if you're waiting for the subject it usually takes us a whISLE'.Our Patreon episodes are always popping, pals so take a peek over there and pay the price that suits you for those extra portions of content.

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

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.
