The Alarm's final album Transformation came out May 29th, The album was made by beloved artist and musician, Mike Peters while he was in treatment for the cancer that ultimately took him. “Mike lived a life of beauty and never gave up right to the very end,” says Jules Peters, bandmate and wife.Described by Bono of U2 as “the second greatest rock and roll band in the world,” Mike Peters has been the driving force behind The Alarm for over forty creative years of new music making and dedication to presenting the band's classic songs in ways both imaginative and inventive. A voice of defiance and hope both on and off the stage, Peters first rose to prominence in the early 1980s with The Alarm, whose powerful anthems like "68 Guns" and "Strength" helped define a generation of alternative rock. Known for their empowering anthems and heartfelt lyrics, The Alarm garnered a devoted international following, with Peters' raw vocals and commanding stage presence at the heart of it all, garnering number one rock album chart hits in the USA / UK and 4 albums in the top 10 with Equals, Sigma, Omega and Forwards. During a music career that spanned five decades, Peters performed with some of music's greatest artists and bands including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and U2.Diagnosed with lymphoma in 1995 and later with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Peters refused to let his illness silence him. Instead, he turned his fight into a mission to help others.Alongside his wife Jules, he co-founded Love Hope Strength, a music-driven cancer charity that revolutionized awareness and action around stem cell donation that continues beyond his passing. Through its innovative “Get On The List” campaigns—often hosted at rock concerts and even atop mountains—the charity has added over 400,000 people to the global stem cell registry and helped secure thousands of potential life-saving matches for patients worldwide. While this may seem like the final chapter for The Alarm, Transformation promises that the legacy of The Alarm will transform into something larger. While Mike has gone out in a blaze of glory, his love, hope and strength continues on. Echoing the title of the new single, Jules concludes, “Mike and the spirit of The Alarm will ‘Live Today,' forever more. I invite you all to blast Transformation out loud. Imagine Mike in the room with you. Transformation is his battle cry, his resilient love of life. Right to the very end, Mike believed that he was going to live, to be totally free. My last memory is driving him open top along the North Wales coast road, playing Transformation at maximum volume. He was so happy. So full of life. Playing his air drums, bass guitar, already imagining himself on his next world tour. So keep that positive spirit moving forwards. Imagine him as you all knew him best, striding out on to that stage, changing lives one concert at a time. This is an album of hope and a passionate celebration of a life well lived. Please do not be sad. Mike wouldn't want that. He was so proud of this album and had the best time recording it during the last six months of his life. Blast it out loud like Mike did. Play along to the track list and most of all, be happy that we all had Mike in our lives and continue to do so.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, I sit down with Jules Peters, the wife of the front man of The Alarm, the late Mike Peters. We discuss their incredible love affair, his long battle with cancer, The Alarm's new album, Transformation, and more.****"Mike lived a life of beauty and never gave up right to the very end,” says Jules Peters, bandmate and wife of the late Mike Peters of THE ALARM who passed away on April 29, 2025. Following a fearlessly valiant 31-year battle with cancer, his monumental legacy continues with the release of TRANSFORMATION on May 29, 2026 on Twenty First Century Recordings/Virgin Music Group. Its latest single, “Live Today” premieres now via Consequence.Filmed just days before Mike underwent the innovative CAR-T treatment with hopes of eradicating Richter's Syndrome, an aggressive form of lymphoma, “Live Today” is Mike's final video. “As the sun rose, watching Mike perform this song with so much optimism and hope will live with me forever,” said Jules as she looks back. “It was a bittersweet day for me as we filmed this incredible joyous film on the beach in the North of England. After filming concluded, we climbed onto the tour bus and drove straight to the Christie Hospital in Manchester, U.K.. We were full of determination that the pioneering CAR-T would save Mike's life but, at the same time, I was personally terrified as I couldn't shake off a feeling that cancer had finally caught up with us both.”Diagnosed with lymphoma in 1995 and later with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Peters refused to let his illness silence him. Instead, he turned his fight into a mission to help others.Alongside his wife Jules, he co-founded Love Hope Strength, a music-driven cancer charity that revolutionized awareness and action around stem cell donation that continues beyond his passing. Through its innovative “Get On The List” campaigns—often hosted at rock concerts and even atop mountains—the charity has added over 400,000 people to the global stem cell registry and helped secure thousands of potential life-saving matches for patients worldwide. While this may seem like the final chapter for The Alarm, Transformation promises that the legacy of The Alarm will transform into something larger. While Mike has gone out in a blaze of glory, his love, hope and strength continues on. Echoing the title of the new single, Jules concludes, “Mike and the spirit of The Alarm will ‘Live Today,' forever more. I invite you all to blast Transformation out loud. Imagine Mike in the room with you. Transformation is his battle cry, his resilient love of life. Right to the very end, Mike believed that he was going to live, to be totally free.

El poder del mal no es algo que podamos explicar ni comprender, manejar o destruir por nosotros mismos. Es algo misterioso. sobrecogedor e inexplicable. En el relato de Hechos, capítulo 19, el demonio dice que conoce a Jesús y que sabe de Pablo, lo que es más que saber de ello. Es enfrentarse a ellos, conocer su poder. Jesús se enfrentó a las poderosas fuerzas del mal y acabó venciéndolas. Aunque se continúen manifestando, han sido finalmente destruidas, porque Él ha triunfado en la Cruz sobre ellas. Por la victoria de su Resurrección sabemos que sus días están contados. Como dice el viejo himno, "hay poder en Jesús". Y esa está "en la Cruz". El ahora pastor Richie Furay, fundó el mítico grupo Buffalo Springfield en California con Neil Young y Stephen Stills, luego la banda Poco con Jim Messina y su última formación con el Byrd, Chris Hilman y J. D. Souther, antes de su conversión al cristianismo evangélico en la Capilla Calvario de la Revolución por Jesús. Llegó a publicar cuatro álbumes entre 1976 y 1982, inspirados por su nueva fe, antes de entrar en el ministerio de esta iglesia a tiempo completo. En el primero descubre que "el diablo es un mentiroso / el peor que existe / tan sutil, siempre disfrazado / pero al final no se lleva el premio" ( Still Rollling Stones 1976). Sobre "El engañador" (The Deceiver 1984) habla también Mike Peters con The Alarm. El músico galés se enfrentó a él en una lucha continua contra el dolor y la enfermedad hasta ser "promovido a la Gloria", el pasado 2025. Su fe le llenó de esperanza hasta el final. Escuchamos esta vez una versión en vivo de este impresionante tema. Maria Muldaur fue una de las cantautoras de folk y blues que estaba en el Village de Nueva York con Bob Dylan en los años 60. Tras cantar con los Grateful Dead de San Francisco en los 70, se convirtió al cristianismo en los 80. Hizo algunos discos inspirados por su fe, como "Sweet and Slow" de 1983, donde asegura en esta maravillosa canción que "El diablo va a pagar por ello" (There´s Going To Be The Devil To Pay). Los últimos años el cine comercial de Hollywood ha encontrado en el mundo del cómic, su principal inspiración para atraer al público más joven a la gran pantalla. "Constantine" (2005) está basado en una serie de DC que se llama "Hellblazer". Habla de la guerra entre Dios y Lucifer por las almas de la humanidad. El personaje de Keanu Reeves se enfrenta a unos demonios que no pueden manifestarse abiertamente, pero poseen e influyen a los seres humanos. Escuchamos varios diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano de la película con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Brian Tyler y Klaus Badelt. Aunque en este programa no somos muy aficionados al "metal", no ha habido en su versión "blanca" un grupo con letras tan explícitamente cristianas y de enfrentamiento al Maligno como Stryper. Formada en 1983 en el contexto de la Capilla Calvario, la banda de Michael Sweet se hizo famosa por tirar biblias desde el escenario y proclamar con la cita que acompaña su nombre, que "por sus llagas somos curados" (Isaías 53:7), Mandamos con ellos "¡Al diablo al infierno!" (To Hell With The Devil 1986). El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica de estos programas es obra de Daniel Panduro.

Most leaders are carrying patterns they know need to change. They see the gap. They want the reset. Then Monday shows up, the old habits walk right back in dressed as obligation, and the door gets opened anyway.   In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause synthesizes three conversations he hasn't been able to stop thinking about, with Dr. Nick Egan, Dr. Mike Peters, and Morgan Alexander, and builds them into one question worth sitting with: what part of your leadership needs to die, and are you actually willing to leave it dead?   In this episode:   - Why emotional reactivity is a gamble, not a leadership strategy   -The question that works better than "how do I want to show up?" when you're already triggered   -Why confidence built on competence eventually cracks   -The three words a CEO said that cracked his room wide open   -The values forensics test: what your calendar and bank statements reveal about what you actually value   -Why chasing values you don't hold leaves your real ones sitting unplayed   -What the "powerful vortex" is and why leaders keep walking back into it   Follow Jayson Krause YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JaysonKrauseLeadership LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-krause

  Most leaders say values matter. But very few have actually identified their own. In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause sits down with leadership coach Dr. Mike Peters to unpack what values really are, why leaders misunderstand them, and how unclear values lead to drift in leadership and organizations. Dr. Peters draws on 38 years of leadership experience in the Canadian Armed Forces to explain why strong values simplify decision making and why many organizations get values wrong. In this episode: • Why values are not the same as preferences • How leaders drift when their values are unclear • The difference between personal values and organizational values • Why strong values make decision-making easier • The mistake many organizations make when defining values  You can believe honesty and transparency are important. But if you are not willing to pay the cost of living them, they are not values, they are beliefs. In this clip from The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause and Dr. Mike Peters explain the difference between values you admire and values you actually live by. #leadership #values #leadershipdevelopment

Welcome back to 1987!The decade of decadence, extravagance, elegance and other words that end in -nce was powering its way towards the later end of its cultural tenure. And whilst there is no doubt that perceived wisdom (or, the internet as we now call it) would tell us that 1987 was the year of big hair, big shoulder pads, and big mobile phones, those of that were there can tell a different story too. The year of POP aspiration was also one of smoke and mirrors. The big suits and big statements across our TV and radio were often wonderfully deceptive. Whilst the music industry had loadsamoney to spend, those acts climbing the charts and filling the pages of Smash Hits were doing so often in the most homemade and, frankly subversive way possible. And in doing so, the genres were flowing, the hits were coming and our pop landscape was as colourful and diversive as we could possibly have wished for.Step forward then the leading compilation series (other slightly inferior ones were OBVIOUSLY available) to deliver its tenth volume. I know, double figures!!Now, That's What I Call Music 10 shines brightly with its neon signage casting a glittering pop beacon over the wasteland of…..(enough with the imagery, get to the songs, Ed!)Step forward the utterly imperial Pet Shop Boys, the incredibly sophisti-poptastic Curiosity Killed The Cat, the completely covered in plaster-of-Paris Hue and Cry and many other to lead the hits-filled charge into Autumn ‘87. And joining me to provide her very own unique view of this pop snapshot is TV and radio presenter Sue Charles.Join us as we find out about Sue's journey across Radio1 AND 2, from 'Newsbeat' and 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon' to reporting behind the scenes at TOTP and to becoming one of the most familiar voices and faces across BBC Wales. And of course, dive deep back into the pop culture of 1987 that includes the The Style Council, Casey Kasem, Andy Warhol, Shrewsbury(!), Sir William of Idol, Cliff, claymation Jazz, the glorious return of Squeeze and some genuine love for one of Wales' musical legends Mike Peters.All of this plus some amazing missing in action ‘87 stars and not a single mention of Michael Fish! Ain't no doubt about it, this is The Real Thing! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a message or question! The Schweinfurt RaidsWith Mike Peters Never Mind the Dambusters – Series 4 Presented by Jane Gulliford Lowes and James JefferiesIn this episode, Jane Gulliford Lowes and James Jefferies turn their attention to the USAAF bombing raids on Schweinfurt, among the most dramatic, costly, and consequential operations of the Allied strategic air campaign in 1943.Schweinfurt was a vital centre of Germany's ball-bearing industry, making it a high-priority target for the US Eighth Air Force.
