For this months edition of Acoustic pleasure we are pleased to welcome back legendary South West DJ/ producer Phill Jubb. Beginning his DJ career in 1990, Phil soon became household name in the South West, holding residencies at the 2,000 capacity Plymouth Warehouse with Cultural Vibes and later Screem. Playing across the UK throughout the 90s at venues such as Club UK (London), The Gardening Club (London), Home (Manchester), and Lakota (Bristol), to name just a few, and also in Europe, including the huge 1994 Universe Tribal Gathering event in Munich. He's shared line ups with some of the best DJs in the World, and has warmed up for Sasha and John Digweed a number of times, most notably on the final night of their Northern Exposure album tour. Also dipping into production, he had several releases on the local Urban Collective label, as well as remixing tracks for labels such as Whoop!, Limbo and DMC. Fast forward to the present day and Phil is still delivering seamless, technical mixes of the very best in current melodic house & techno, progressive house and electronica. He plays at Cultural Vibes events, and does regular sets & live streams for the South West's Melodic Beats label. Phil also plays abroad in Morzine, France, at après ski parties at various venues during the winter season. Having recently rebuilt and significantly expanded his home studio, Phil is again embarking on fresh own production and remix work, with new releases now coming through and many more in the pipeline. Check out Phils mix in the second hour with some quality house and breaks including his brand new remix of Michael Vitans Modifier which is out soon on Prognosis. Always a pleasure to have Phil on and no doubt you will enjoy his selection

You may have heard that over the past couple of summers, we've been spending a little bit of time in the mountains, specifically in a sleepy little ski resort called Morzine. And after decades of enjoying ski holidays in the winter, we thought, let's go check out what all the fuss is about for mountain summer holidays. We had an absolute blast. And in the process, we were lucky enough to meet a family who run a business called Reach 4 the Alps in Morzine. They've been doing it since 2000, so over 20 years now.And in today's episode, I get the chance to catch up with Gina, one half of the business and family partnership that has been running that company for those 20-plus years. And we get to talk about a whole bunch of different things. I mean, at its core, it's a service accommodation business, hence the relevance. But I know a lot of us are investing in property to do other things with our lives, right? Property is not the end, it is the means to that end. But maybe we could combine the two.Maybe we could enjoy a different lifestyle, a different way of life, a different geographic location, or just something that we are more passionate about by investing in property in a way that allows us to have fun at the same time, which is exactly what Gina and Marcus have been doing - investing in a place that they love so that they can ski several times a week, they can enjoy that mountain life throughout the summer as well, raise their kids in a great location with all of that outdoor lifestyle. That specifically may or may not appeal to you. It doesn't matter, but I think what is important is that we can create a life, we can create a business that is built around what we want to achieve, what is important to us, and what makes us happy.So hopefully you get some inspiration, whether it's about the service to accommodation side of the business, which includes some owned ski shalis as well as some rent-to-rent stuff, or just to get some creative juices flowing in your own mind about what a property business that works for you could look like. So I hope you enjoyed today's episode, I'm sure you will, and if you ever find yourself in Morse then be sure to check out Gina and Marcus at Reach 4 the Alps.========================Request your free copy of our Introduction to HMO Investing guide - Access here for free

Explore returns with Adam Bowie, one of The Cycling Podcast's producers, taking over the mic to document his ride at the 2023 Étape du Tour. Each July, the Étape gives thousands of riders a chance to experience the thrill of riding the route of a Tour de France stage on closed roads. This time it was the course of stage 14 from Annemasse to Morzine in the Alps, taking in the Col de Cou, Col du Feu, Col de la Ramaz and Col de Joux Plane. The Étape was celebrating its 30th anniversary – the first edition was held in 1993 and was 'won' by Christophe Rinero, who five years later won the king of the mountains. More recently, the fastest finisher in the 2018 Étape, Victor Lafay, won a stage of the 2023 Tour de France in San Sebastian. But for the other 16,000 participants the challenge is completing the stage. Regular listeners will remember Adam's episode of Explore from 2021, in which he tackled the 350-kilometre King Alfred's Way route in south-west England. This time, we join Adam in the Alps, as he takes on a reconnaissance ride a few days before the Étape... The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Lance, JB, and George are once again joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ's cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down the Tour's fourteenth stage and how Ineos grabbed two stage wins in as many days after Carlos Rodríguez successfully capitalized on Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard's brief stalemate on the brutal Col de Joux Plane climb before unleashing an impressive race-winning attack at the top of the descent and showcasing his technical skills en route to the stage win in Morzine. The crew discuss what Rodríguez's win means for his rumored ongoing contract negotiations with Movistar, the wisdom of Jumbo-Visma setting an incredibly hard line-to-line pace only to gain a single second in the GC standings, as well as how Pogačar attacking Vingegaard, only to be reeled in by an impressive steady-state effort from the defending champion, will affect the physiological side of the ongoing battle for the overall win.

Esta etapa durísima tenía previsión de que una escapa con buenos escaladores podía llegar a la meta pero el equipo Jumbo Visma tenia otros planes, y pusieron un ritmo infernal en el pelotón y ningún grupo de fugados podía esperar con la victoria de etapa. En la subida de Joux Plane, vimos un mano a mano entre Vingegaard y Pogaçar, pero al final se vigilaron tanto que Carlos Rodríguez pudo enlazar con ellos y dejarles atrás en el descenso hacia Morzine. El joven español se llevó la victoria de etapa y sube al tercer puesto en la general.
Spencer and Johan choose their favorite, and high-value wildcards, for tomorrow's brutal mountain stage, which takes the peloton up and over the infamous Col de Joux Plane and into the alpine town of Morzine. With some of the hardest climbs of this Tour on tap over the course of the stage, this is sure to be a GC classification-defining day. Listen in to see how the duo sees the race playing out. And, with the value of the WEDŪ head-to-head index still in positive territory for this Tour, even after a few unpredictable stages, make sure to stick around to the end of the episode where Johan gives out his head-to-head picks for the stage.

Lance, JB, and George are joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ's cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down Michał Kwiatkowski's incredible effort to win the stage ahead of the GC group, and what the Tour's thirteenth stage, which took place on Bastille Day and finished up the tough climb of le Grand Colombier, showed us about how the GC picture will shake out in the looming alpine stages. They also discuss how Kwiatkowski has been allowed to re-find his winning ways due to the fall of the Ineos GC empire, and speculate how the teams of UAE and Jumbo will tactically approach tomorrow's brutal mountain stage, which takes the peloton up and over the infamous Col de Joux Plane and down a tricky descent to finish in the alpine town of Morzine.

A vast ski area, environmentally-friendly chalets, and birds of prey are just a few of the attractions of Morzine.
Christine Harrison has taken to sitting outside, barefoot, on the balcony of her chalet in the French Alps, and soaking up the sunshine.Harrison, from Liverpool in the UK, has been visiting the French ski resort of Praz De Lys every winter for the past 25 years. The family-friendly resort is located at an altitude of 4,921 feet and boasts 31 miles of Nordic ski slopes for sports enthusiasts.This year, she said, just finding a slope with snow has been her biggest challenge: “There's no snow, literally, you can't ski here. There's just grass everywhere.”Praz de Lys, like numerous ski resorts across the Alps and French Pyrenees, is struggling to cope with the unprecedented warm temperatures this month. Some resorts like A x 3 Domaines, located close to the French border with Andorra, have shut completely.Others, like Le Gets and Morzine, in the Portes du Soleil area, have closed several of their ski runs.Harrison said that she, along with her partner and two teenage children, went to Les Contamines that's nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc in search of better skiing conditions earlier this week. At the top of the slopes, Harrison said, they finally found snow but as they descended below 2,000 meters, the rain started to pour down and the ski run quickly turned to slush.“It was horrible. We managed to do about four hours and it was like, what are we even doing here? It was carnage,” she said. Le Praz De Lys in the French alps is shown on a more wintry day in 2017. Credit: Courtesy of Christine Harrison The conditions are not just challenging for winter sports enthusiasts, but they could prove risky, too.Klaus Dodds, a professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway University of London, said skiers and snowboarders will notice that piste (downhill ski trails) and snow conditions become more uncertain in warmer temperatures.“There's more chance of avalanches, and skiing just becomes more dangerous because snow and ice is less settled,” he said.Dodds said he isn't surprised by the rise in temperatures at European ski resorts this winter. After all, he said, several EU countries experienced record-breaking heat waves last summer. Scientists have been warning about this for years, he said.“We're not just talking about climate change now, it's climate breakdown,” Dodds said.It's not only winter ski resorts that are seeing unprecedented temperature hikes this month. Cities in Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary and France have all smashed records for the hottest start to the new year.Warsaw, Poland, where the mercury usually hovers around freezing at this time of year, clocked up 66 degrees Fahrenheit on Jan. 1. Residents of Bilbao in northern Spain headed to the beach earlier this week as temperatures soared to highs usually seen in midsummer.Snow loss or ice loss also has implications for water supply, according to Dodds.Many of Europe's major rivers, such as the River Po in Italy or the Rhine in Germany, are dependent on alpine meltwater to replenish water levels. Low water levels have a negative impact on agriculture and endanger river transport, he said. Christine Harrison (middle), with daughter Sophie and son Jack are shown at the French ski resort in snowier times in February 2020. Credit: Courtesy of Christine Harrison Countries like France and Switzerland have also been expressing concern that they will not have enough water to act as coolant for their nuclear power stations, Dodds said.The high winter temperatures also pose a challenge to communities in alpine towns that are dependent on winter tourism.Sara Burdon, communications manager at the Morzine tourist office, said local businesses are worried.“While the summer is an important and very much growing part of the tourism here, the winter is still the main season and the one in which businesses make most of their income,” Burdon said.For the last few years, the town of Morzine has tried to address the negative impact a ski resort can have on the environment. Ski holidays can produce a large carbon footprint between visitor flights and the use of gas-guzzling equipment like artificial snow machines and ski lifts. Sara Burdon works in the Morzine tourism office in France said that businesses are worried about the impact of warm winter temperatures on seasonal tourism. Credit: Sam Ingles Burdon said the town has now installed solar panels on some of the chair lifts, while workers have adopted more sustainable ways of looking after the ski pistes, including using GPS systems to target exactly where artificial snow is required.Last year, Morzine was awarded the Flocon Vert sustainability award — an environmental honor recognizing green development policies in European ski resorts.Burdon said that they are still working hard to combat the heavy carbon cost of the flights.A local environmental charity, Montagne Verte, has created a special train pass called the AlpinExpress Pass, which gives those who arrive by rail cut-price offers on their journey as well as cheaper accommodation and discounts on ski hire.Burdon said they try to encourage their European visitors to make the journey by train whenever possible.One silver lining from the unexpected balmy conditions this season has been lower heating bills. Last summer, the German government warned of a possible fuel shortage in the winter along with soaring energy costs — caused by the lack of a gas supply from Russia.In December, the German economy minister, Robert Habeck, said he is optimistic the country has enough fuel to see it through the winter.But Dodds pointed out that warmer temperatures have also been responsible for the catastrophic flooding in parts of Europe last year that devastated homes, particularly in Germany. The climate scientist said he believes that governments can still do more to prevent further temperature rises. For starters he said, nations need to stick to the targets laid out in the 2015 Paris Agreement which vowed to prevent global temperatures from rising 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels this century, and in particular, limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.“We're already 1.2 degrees past, so there's little wriggle room left before we reach the 1.5 degree limit,” Dodds said. “That's why we talk about a climate emergency.”
