From July 31, 2024. Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. In this double feature episode, Jacinta interviews two amazing astronomers at the SARAO conference (South African Radio Astronomical Observatory).   Dr. Mpati Ramotsoku is a radio astrophysicist from South Africa. In the episode she discusses her journey from studying in the Netherlands to working in Italy at the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics in Cali, and eventually returning to South Africa as a research associate at Rhodes University. She delves into her research on how galaxies evolve by studying hydrogen gas in galaxies and the environmental effects on galaxy evolution, such as ram pressure stripping. Mpati also shares her discovery of new filaments in galaxies through images from the MeerKAT Telescope, a finding which has garnered international attention.   Dr. Emanuel Proven Adzuri is a Ghanaian astronomer at the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute and the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory. In this episode he shares his background and journey in astronomy. Emanuel discusses his education in computational engineering and astronomy that led to a groundbreaking PhD project on space lasers, specifically focusing on the periodicity of methanol masers in star-forming regions. Emanuel also discusses the advancements in Ghana's astronomy infrastructure, including the transformation of a decommissioned telecom dish into a 32-meter radio telescope.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

The No Borders ideology isn't working. A 2024 study from the Netherlands shows that immigrants don't actually contribute to western culture except for one group. Can you guess which one? Representative Thomas Massie and President Donald Trump are going to battle. Massie has opposed key parts of Trump's agenda and Trump has endorsed Massie's primary opponent. Let's follow some money.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the nearing end of the government shutdown, Trump's legal win allowing National Guard deployments to Portland, a Supreme Court case testing whether drug users can own guns, and international developments involving Chinese espionage, satellite security, auto industry sabotage, and Bolivia's rejection of socialism.   Shutdown Nears Its End: White House advisor Kevin Hassett says the government shutdown will likely end this week as Democrats feel pressure from bad polling and looming state budget crises. Trump's Triple B funding bill cut Medicaid loopholes that helped finance health care for illegal immigrants, forcing blue states to raise taxes unless a deal is reached.   Court Clears Trump to Deploy the Guard: The Ninth Circuit ruled that Trump can federalize Oregon's National Guard to protect Portland's federal buildings from Antifa violence. Democrats argued the protests were “mostly peaceful,” with one judge claiming the frog-costumed rioters were “having fun.” Bryan calls the decision a reality check against political theater.   Immigration and America's Workforce: NPR reports activists in Chicago are blocking ICE operations while a new study projects Trump's deportation policies could reduce the U.S. population by 15 million over the next decade. Bryan argues higher wages and affordable housing will follow, saying, “We don't need to import our workforce — we can build our own.”   Supreme Court Weighs Gun Rights for Drug Users: The Court will decide whether people who use marijuana or other drugs can legally own firearms. The case follows a lower court ruling that found “no historical justification” for disarming sober citizens. Bryan invites listeners to weigh in on whether gun ownership and substance use should mix.   China's Atomic Clock Breach: Beijing accused the NSA of hacking its national atomic clock, which could disrupt GPS, banking, and military systems. The alleged cyber breach used the cell phones of Chinese scientists to access secure servers. Bryan calls it “proof that nothing online is truly offline.”   Satellites Leaking Secrets: U.S. researchers found that half of global satellite transmissions can be intercepted with basic equipment, exposing phone calls, texts, and even military data. Bryan warns listeners to “keep sensitive conversations offline.”   Dutch Seize Chinese-Owned Chipmaker: The Netherlands took control of Nexperia, a critical auto-chip supplier, after U.S. intelligence warned China planned to move production back home. The move could disrupt global car manufacturing and tighten supply chains further.   Bolivia Rejects Socialism: Voters ousted socialist leaders and elected conservative Rodrigo Paz, who vowed to restore ties with the U.S. and rebuild Bolivia's lithium-rich economy. Bryan says, “Bolivia's victory over socialism should be a warning to voters in New York City.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: government shutdown Kevin Hassett, Trump Triple B Medicaid reform, Ninth Circuit National Guard Portland, Antifa Oregon violence, NPR ICE protests Chicago, deportation workforce study, Supreme Court drug users gun rights, NSA China atomic clock hack, satellites data leak UC San Diego, Netherlands Nexperia chip takeover, Bolivia Rodrigo Paz conservative election

In this powerful episode of Immigration Nerds, host Lauren Clarke speaks with Hendrika de Vries, author of the new book "Open Turns," about her remarkable journey from surviving World War II in occupied Amsterdam to becoming a champion swimmer and finding her identity as a 13-year-old immigrant in 1950s Australia.At 87, Henny shares how her family's decision to immigrate was driven by post-war economic hardship in the Netherlands, and how she initially experienced immigration as a loss of freedom and identity—arriving at an immigrant camp where new arrivals were told they would only ever be "new Australians," never simply Australians.Swimming became Henny's pathway to belonging, offering both athletic achievement and a space where she could transcend the immigrant label. She discusses the complex family dynamics that emerged when she learned English while her mother did not, suddenly becoming her mother's interpreter despite their traditional roles. Throughout, Henny emphasizes themes of resilience, gratitude, and the importance of sharing immigrant stories as acts of resistance against both victimization and demonization.Drawing on her later career as a family therapist, Henny reflects on how major life turning points—what she calls "open turns"—reveal our true character and strength, making immigrant experiences valuable lessons for navigating all of life's challenges.Resource Links: Open Turns: From Dutch Girl to New AustralianGuest: Hendrika de Vries, Author of "Open Turns: From Dutch Girl to New Australian"Host: Lauren ClarkeNews Nerd: Rob TaylorProducer: Adam BelmarInterview Record: Wednesday, 9/17/25 @ 3:00 PM ETNEWS NERD Record: 10/13/25 @ 10 AM ET

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, I'm joined by Veronica White — a PhD student, photographer, and outdoor adventurer who is combining academic research with exploration in a truly unique way. For her final year at the University of Exeter, Veronica set out on an extraordinary journey: cycling more than 2,000 miles across England to explore how women envision the future of farming. Her Farming Futures Tour— meeting and interviewing 50 women along the way who are shaping the future of food and agriculture. Born in the US and raised in the Netherlands, Veronica's path into farming wasn't traditional. With a background in environmental science and food security, she's found her passion in connecting people, place, and purpose — and using adventure as both a research method and a personal challenge. In our conversation, we talk about how she planned and trained for the project, what it was like to balance the mental and physical demands of fieldwork on the move, and why she believes surrounding yourself with people who say “yes” can make all the difference.  Tune in to hear how Veronica turned her PhD into a pedal-powered exploration of England's rural landscapes — and how adventure can open new ways of seeing, learning, and connecting.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges?

It will be published in the US with Harper Books and in the UK with Bantam in October 2025. Olde Heuvelt, whose last name in Dutch dialect means 'Old Hill', was the first translated author to win a Hugo Award, in 2015. He lives in the south of France with his partner and pet lizard.

Think Dutch is only for Amsterdam? We open the map with David Durham to show how far Dutch actually travels—across the Netherlands, Flanders in Belgium, Aruba and Sint Maarten, and Suriname—and why a few phrases can turn strangers into allies. We start with the essentials you'll say every day: dag for hello and goodbye, formal and informal thank‑yous, and the subtle shift from u to jij that earns instant respect. Then we build your toolkit for trains, airports, hotels, and restaurants so you can ask clearly, pay gracefully, and leave on a warm note.We get practical fast. You'll learn how to ask Waar is… for the WC, het station, de bushalte, and het restaurant, how to order koffie met melk and thee like a local, and how to request de rekening alstublieft without fumbling. We cover apologies and honesty with Het spijt me and Ik spreek geen Nederlands, plus the simple I don't understand: Ik versta het niet. Numbers one to ten click into place, and you'll know when to use tot ziens versus a friendly doei. Along the way, David breaks down de vs het articles, sheds light on Flemish and Afrikaans connections, and shares cultural cues—like always greeting staff on entry and exit—that open doors.For language nerds and nervous first‑timers alike, we tuck in an eye‑opening detour on English history that explains why Dutch often feels familiar to our ears. This mix of clarity, culture, and ready‑to‑use phrases is designed for real travel: short lines, quick wins, and better moments with people you meet. If your next trip includes bikes, canals, or stroopwafels, this guide will help you move with confidence and kindness.Loved the lesson?

Henk van Alphen, Founder and CEO of Wealth Minerals shares his personal journey from living in the Netherlands to becoming involved in the mining exploration business with The Green Insider. He entered the mining industry and founded his own resource company in 1989, pioneering mining exploration in Argentina. The conversation … The post Henk van Alphen: Mining for the Electric Future appeared first on eRENEWABLE.

In June, a sharp-suited Austrian executive from a global surveillance company told a prospective client that he could “go to prison” for organizing the deal they were discussing. But the conversation did not end there.The executive, Guenther Rudolph, was seated at a booth at ISS World in Prague, a secretive trade fair for police and intelligence agencies and advanced surveillance technology companies. Rudolph went on to explain how his firm, First Wap, could provide sophisticated phone-tracking software capable of pinpointing any person in the world. The potential buyer? A private mining company, owned by an individual under sanction, who intended to use it to surveil environmental protesters. “I think we're the only one who can deliver,” Rudolph said.What Rudolph did not know: He was talking to an undercover journalist from Lighthouse Reports, an investigative newsroom based in the Netherlands.The road to that conference room in Prague began with the discovery of a vast archive of data by reporter Gabriel Geiger. The archive contained more than a million tracking operations: efforts to grab real-time locations of thousands of people worldwide. What emerged is one of the most complete pictures to date of the modern surveillance industry. This week on Reveal, we join 13 other news outlets to expose the secrets of a global surveillance empire.

This week has reminded me why I love what I do. I have spoken with people from the US, China, Dubai, Bulgaria, and South Africa, and even discovered that one of this show's regular listeners had made the journey from the Netherlands to be here at GITEX Global. Over five sessions on the AI Stage, I have covered everything from autonomous cars to how AI could help the UN World Food Programme tackle hunger. We have explored how Serbia achieved tenfold growth through AI and how new tools can now verify misinformation simply by checking a video link. But beneath all the tech talk, what has stood out most to me is how technology connects people. In a world that often feels divided, it is refreshing to see how collaboration and shared curiosity can still bridge cultures and spark ideas. It is those moments, when technology brings people together, that remind me why this podcast exists. That spirit of connection is exactly what inspired my quick chat with Iancho Dimitrov from Living Homes, a company based in Dubai but shaped by global perspectives. Originally from Bulgaria, Iancho and his team are building what they call an “AI-native intelligent home,” a home that does not just automate switches but truly understands its inhabitants. From monitoring wellbeing and improving sleep to creating safe, supportive spaces for families across generations, Living Homes is redefining what it means to live smart. So while this conversation might be short, it captures something powerful. It is proof that innovation is not only about hardware or software, it is about empathy, understanding, and the shared drive to build a better way of living. In a week where the world gathered in one city to imagine the future, Iancho's vision is a reminder that technology works best when it feels human.

How different is European and North American gravel racing? Velo was at the Gravel World Championships in the Netherlands to inspect the bikes used by Marianne Vos, Tom Pidcock, and many others, with the relatively fast and smooth course necessitating some interesting equipment choices. Integrated air pressure adjustment systems, huge (for gravel) gearing, and wildly different tire combinations were all spotted, as well as more than a few custom paint jobs for the special occasion. Alvin, Josh, and Levy also delve into Suunto's legal action against Garmin and why it differs from the Strava debacle all while Levy attempts to convince the crew that social media is a psy-op while denying being addicted to Strava. We also dig into the latest 3T Racemax2 gravel bike, its background, Josh's early impressions from riding the bike, and ultimately, why the bike is so dang interesting. Finally, we talk about SRAM winning its suit with the UCI and the perfectly passive-aggressive response the UCI offered as a response.

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

FinovateFall Best of Show winner Eko Investments is bringing investment opportunities to early-stage investors, growing individual wealth and helping FIs of all sizes retain their customers. Detailed Summary: Mart Vos, CEO of Eko Investments, joins Greg to talk about his company's role as a leading digital investment provider for credit unions and banks. Eko's mission stems from Mart's personal experience when he moved from the Netherlands to the US and discovered that traditional banks only offered investment services to wealthy clients through financial advisors, requiring minimums like $100,000 rather than accommodating smaller amounts like $100. This contrasted sharply with the Netherlands, where every bank offers accessible investment products, eliminating the need for third-party apps like Betterment, Robinhood, or Acorns. Eko enables financial institutions to offer investments to all their clients, not just the top 1%, through a low-threshold investment solution natively integrated within digital banking platforms. Eko has achieved remarkable success, winning Best of Show at Finovate Fall for the second consecutive year. The company's evolution is driven by their commitment to listening to financial institutions and members, with a significant portion of engineering hours reserved for client requests that can be implemented within one to two weeks. Recent feature developments include IRAs and Roth IRAs, faster money movement capabilities, and a unique structure providing core integration benefits without actual core dependency. Eko serves a diverse range of clients, from their smallest credit union with 7,000 members to their largest with 20 billion in assets, demonstrating their scalable solution across different institutional sizes. Mart continues by describing how the Eko platform serves as an essential tool for financial institutions looking to retain clients who might otherwise migrate to third-party investment apps. With 68% of users making their first investment ever, and an average investment amount of $1,200, Eko focuses heavily on financial literacy and education, particularly serving millennials and Gen Z users. Rather than competing with traditional wealth advisory firms, Eko operates as a complementary funnel, providing warm leads for wealth services when clients reach higher investment thresholds like $50,000 or $100,000. This collaborative approach prevents financial institutions from having to "sell no" to smaller investors while creating pathways for future wealth management relationships.

//The Wire//2300Z October 13, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OTHER HEADS OF STATE ARRIVE IN EGYPT FOR SIGNING OF PEACE AGREEMENT. COUP IN MADAGASCAR RESULTS IN PRESIDENT FLEEING COUNTRY. AFGHAN/PAKISTAN BORDER CLASHES FLARE UP BRIEFLY. NETHERLANDS ENACTS WARTIME POLICY TO CONTROL CHINESE TECH COMPANY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Yesterday evening the Dutch government announced that they have taken more direct control of the Nexperia corporation, which was carried out under a rarely-used wartime law. Nexperia is a Chinese-owned semiconductor chip manufacturer, which mostly provides computer chips for consumer-grade electronics. The Dutch government enacted the Availability of Goods Act, which enables the Netherlands to halt actions by the company that are deemed to be against the national defense interests of the nation.Analyst Comment: This is a big deal as it's yet another indicator of wartime preparations continuing. While most may think that a war with China will just involve the US, and be confined to the Far East, this move highlights the global nature of a potential conflict involving China. This move is not a straight-up seizure of all assets, the company is continuing to produce products as before. This decision is simply to take administrative control of the company, should the board of executives make decisions that are counter to the national security needs of the Netherlands.Western Asia: A brief war erupted and was concluded between Pakistan and Afghanistan over the weekend. Afghan forces conducted multiple small arms attacks on Pakistani border positions. Pakistan responded in kind by shelling random locations inside Afghanistan. After a few hours, Taliban forces withdrew and Pakistani forces stopped shelling.Middle East: President Trump arrived in Egypt for the various diplomatic events pertaining to the Gaza peace deal being signed. Various other heads of state from around the region (and Europe) also gathered for the celebratory peace summit.Analyst Comment: So far only one international incident has been the result of proceedings, with Turkey's Erdogan refusing to take part if Netanyahu was planning to show up as well. Allegedly, a mid-flight phone call was placed by Erdogan's team to pressure Netanyahu to not take part in the event, otherwise Erdogan's plane would turn around and return to Turkey. Netanyahu agreed to this request and has not flown to Egypt to take part in the events. Other than that brief squabble, nothing of note has taken place yet regarding the signing of the peace accord, and the various diplomatic speeches and events have carried on without much conflict.Africa: The government of Madagascar has collapsed as a general state of unrest reached it's peak over the weekend. President Andry Rajoelina was evacuated from the country by French military forces as rioters compromised the security situation around the Presidential residence.Analyst Comment: This is the latest nation to fall to the "Zoomer Uprising", a global trend of youth movements rising up to overthrow their respective third-world governments. One of the first to display this trend was the coup in Nepal a few weeks ago, which was carried out largely by the younger elements of the population. In Madagascar, the situation is very similar, with grievances being centered around electricity and water shortages which have gotten worse over the past few years.-HomeFront-Oregon: Over the weekend counter-ICE protests and demonstrations continued, with a few old tactics being implemented. Namely, nudity. A city-wide naked bike ride and "die in" protest was arranged yesterday, which disrupted traffic for a few hours on major roads, as well as outside the ICE facility.California: Concerns of election fraud have come to light following the receipt of mail-in ballots rega

On today's show Andrew and Bill react to the PRC's announcement of expanded export controls on rare earths and related manufacturing equipment. Topics include: Why countries around the world were immediately concerned, clarifications offered from the PRC that may not allay those concerns, and why viewing these rules as a response to the recent BIS updates is overly simplistic. From there: The American response to the rare earth measures, including Trump's "Xi had a bad moment" comment, TACO predictions that may age poorly, why this move may have been a tactical error from Xi, and why capitulation or escalation may be a binary choice for the US. At the end: A supply chain wake-up call for the whole world, the Netherlands takes control of a Chinese-owned chipmaker, and lessons from the UK as the spy trial controversy continues to unspool.

Today, more than half the world's population live in cities – and as our numbers swell, so will our cities, especially those around the Pacific Rim, where it's predicted our largest megacities of 10 million plus will be situated. And herein lies an opportunity: 60% of the buildings needed for 2050 are not yet built.Could we shape our cities into places that are good for the climate and also good for our mental health? Can we design buildings and infrastructure that make green decisions easier and also help us deal with stress or depression?In a programme first broadcast in 2024, Jordan Dunbar hears about examples in the Netherlands and Egypt.

Mary of Hungary was more than just a Habsburg princess. She ruled Hungary as regent and governed the Netherlands on behalf of her brother, Emperor Charles V. As cousin to Mary Tudor, she sat just outside the Tudor story but still held enough power that Henry VIII had to acknowledge her. This minicast looks at how she ended up in that position, and why even Henry couldn't ignore her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sandro, founder of KWARKX, shares how his team is bringing utility-scale solar to chain via NFT membership passes that let anyone participate in project returns—without the usual high minimums. We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KWARKX's Project Catalyst journey.

Atoms are the building blocks of our world. Many have been around since right after the Big Bang created the universe nearly 14 billion years ago. And if life on Earth is made of atoms that are from all the way back then... will those atoms keep existing forever? That's what CrowdScience Listener Rob in Australia would like to know. Caroline Steel investigates the immortality of atoms by travelling to CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory located along the border of France and Switzerland. There, theoretical physicist Matthew McCullough explains whether the smallest atoms can decay or survive the test of time. Physicist Marco van Leeuwen from Nikhef, the National Particle Physics Laboratory in the Netherlands, gives Caroline a behind-the-scenes tour of the ALICE experiment and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. She learns how atoms are smashed at incredibly high speeds, and whether that might spell the end of an atom. And all life on earth is made up of atoms, but how does a collection of tiny particles become a living being? Astrobiologist Betül Kaçar from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, breaks down how life works from an atomic point of view.

Visit equestriancollegeadvisor.com to learn more and book a consultation.  In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by horsemanship trainer Tristian Tucker.  Tristan Tucker grew up in Australia surrounded by horses, heavily influenced by his mother and grandfather. From a young age, he spent time alongside his mother in racing stables and progressed through pony club in novelty, jumping, and eventing disciplines. He first travelled to Europe in late 1999, where he met his lifelong mentor, Morten Thomsen. In 2011, he began competing internationally with his Grand Prix dressage horse, Grønskovlunds Marquis, and in 2012 relocated permanently to the Netherlands to further his career. In September 2015, he launched the TRT Method online training program with Dutch co-founder Conny Loonstra.

Today, from his own stable in Langenboom, Noord-Brabant, Tristan trains all levels of horses, teaches international competitors, and gives clinics around the world using his renowned TRT Method.   Tristan shares his journey and the experiences that led to the creation of his unique training approach, including:  • Growing up with horses and the influences that inspired the development of the TRT Method  • What the TRT Method is, how it works, and what makes his approach to training different from others  • How he connects his method to the world of high-performance competition  • His philosophy on teaching and guiding riders toward better communication with their horses  Join Tristan and Sinead for an insightful conversation about the TRT Method and how it helps riders build more relaxed, confident, and understanding partnerships with their horses. 

This episode was released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers at the start of the year and, with the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships taking place in Maastricht in the Netherlands over the weekend, we're making the episode available for everyone to listen to in the build-up to the race. So, let's go back to October 2024... (This episode is part of our Friends of the Podcast series. It will be available on our regular feed until the end of the weekend. To sign up as a friend go to thecyclingpodcast.com) Last October, Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill went to Leuven in Belgium for the third edition of the UCI Gravel World Championships. They'd made the journey across the channel to the Flanders Classics many times but this was their first trip to a gravel race and they were keen to see what this overnight sensation (which was more than a century in the making) was all about. They meander through the history of gravel racing, examine where gravel and road converge, and take part in the Rainbow Gravel Ride, the sportive for amateur riders held on the finishing loop of the World Championship course. In this episode we hear from two American riders, Ian Boswell and Larry Warbasse, about their experiences of gravel racing, Colin Clews, the organiser of the Cicle Classic in Britain – a road race with gravel that preceded the current trend by a decade or so – and Connor Swift, who was in the thick of the racing in Leuven.

It's easy to be inspired by success, but the real lessons often lie in what it took to get there. After all, true strength isn't just physical; it's found in how we face change, challenge and the unknown. In this episode of my Feel Better, Live More podcast, I sit down with one of the most extraordinary athletes of our time, Sifan Hassan. Sifan is a Dutch middle- and long-distance runner, celebrated for her versatility and achievements in athletics. Born in Ethiopia and raised in the Netherlands as a refugee, she is known for competing at the highest level in a wide range of distances, including the 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, and the marathon. She is a two-time World Champion, an Olympic medallist, and holds multiple European Championship titles. Her journey from refugee to Olympic and World Champion has captivated the world, not just for what she's achieved, but for how she approaches life. Sifan's story is one of courage, faith, and relentless curiosity. In this wonderful conversation, we explore: How growing up in Ethiopia and later seeking asylum in the Netherlands shaped Sifan's inner strength, perspective and deep appreciation for opportunity The role running played in navigating life in a new country, and how it offered focus, purpose and belonging Why failure, fear and self-doubt have been central to her journey, and how she's learned to embrace them as essential parts of growth and performance How Sifan continues to find joy in running, despite the pressures of elite sport, and why staying curious matters more to her than winning What her training now looks like behind the scenes - including the shifts she's made to prioritise recovery, longevity and mental balance Why she sees rest, sleep and routine as forms of discipline, and how simplicity keeps her grounded What she's come to understand about identity, letting go of perfection, and finding peace with who she is, beyond the medals You don't need to be an athlete to connect with Sifan's story; it speaks to something deeply human in all of us. In a world that often celebrates outcomes, this conversation invites us to embrace the process of becoming, adapting, and learning. Sifan's perspective is a beautiful example of what it means to stay rooted in who we are, even when life takes us far from where we began. I hope you enjoy listening.

From Serie A to the Championship, this week's USMNT Abroad is packed with drama, goals, and global headlines. In Italy, Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie faced off in Juventus vs AC Milan's scoreless draw. Pulisic's rare penalty miss ended his perfect start to the year. Over in Germany, Noahkai Banks scored his first-ever Bundesliga goal in front of his entire family. Does he deserve a call-up in the November window? In the Netherlands, Sergiño Dest returned for PSV, going 73 strong minutes, while Ricardo Pepi was left off the bench.  EPL delivered chaos as Tyler Adams helped Bournemouth climb into UCL contention, Chris Richards went the distance for Palace, and Brenden Aaronson started in Leeds' narrow loss to Spurs. Are we hitting the panic button over Jedi Robinson's situation with Fulham? In the Championship, Haji Wright stayed scorching hot, while Josh Sargent continues to slide. We also hit on Philadelphia's Supporters' Shield win, Messi's hat-trick of assists, and UEFA's controversial decision to approve domestic league games abroad, including LA Liga games in the United States.  CHAPTERS: Intro (0:00)Pulisic misses 2nd-ever pen (4:42)Dest & Jedi's injury status (10:00)UEFA matches Abroad: La Liga comes to US (25:46)MLS Recap: Union's Shield & Messi shines (31:09)MLS vs Europe: USMNT Roster Edition #AskAlexi (46:28)Pochettino's lack of communication (59:34) Learn more about your ad choices.
