This week on The Mandy Connell Show, Deborah Flora sits in for Mandy Connell and dives into the world of socialism, discussing its rise and the potential consequences of adopting such a system. With the recent release of declassified documents, the conversation centers around the importance of free and fair elections and the potential threats to our democratic system. Deborah is joined by economist and author Anders Ingemarson, who shares his insights on the Nordic model of socialism and why it's not as ideal as it seems. The episode explores the concept of socialism and its relation to the welfare state, with Anders explaining that the Nordic countries, including Sweden, are not truly socialist but rather welfare states with a strong emphasis on social services. He also discusses the potential consequences of adopting socialism, including the loss of individual freedom and the creation of a dependent society. Deborah and Anders also touch on the topic of the Democrat Socialist Party of America's platform, which aims to eliminate the executive branch and judicial branch, replacing them with a legislative branch. The conversation also delves into the importance of free and fair elections, with Deborah sharing her personal experience of voting and the significance of maintaining the integrity of our electoral system. The episode also covers the recent speech by President Trump, which revealed declassified documents showing potential foreign interference in our elections.

Let's Discover the Best Cities in Brazil for Gay RetireesMost Americans think of retirement abroad and immediately picture Portugal, Spain, Mexico, or maybe Thailand.But if those feel too expensive, too far away, or just not quite right, Brazil deserves a serious look for your gay retirement dollar.Brazil offers something rare: warm weather, lower costs, strong LGBTQ+ legal protections, major queer visibility, Afro-Brazilian culture, beaches, food, music, private healthcare, visa options, and, yes, many, many, many Speedos.In this episode of Queer Money, we're continuing our Affordable International Gay City series with the 5 best gay cities in Brazil for gay retirees.Brazil is not Nordic order. It is not Mexican expat familiarity. It is not Portuguese calm, even though Portuguese is the language, which, yes, you should start learning before you move. But Brazil may offer gay retirees a powerful mix of affordability, culture, LGBTQ+ acceptance, and lifestyle that can make retirement abroad feel much more possible.We compare each Brazilian city to Framingham, Massachusetts, our U.S. touchstone city for this episode, and look at what matters for gay retirement abroad: cost of living, average two-bedroom rent, LGBTQ+ visibility, state and city acceptance, queer nightlife, healthcare access, safety, lifestyle, and overall retirement fit.This week, we cover Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Salvador, Florianópolis, and São Paulo.Takeaways from this episode:Why Brazil deserves a serious look for gay retirement abroadWhy Brazil's LGBTQ+ protections and public acceptance rank stronger than many people assumeHow Brazilian cities compare with Framingham, Massachusetts, for cost of livingWhy Belo Horizonte may work for retirees who want Brazil without São Paulo intensity or beach-city chaosWhy Curitiba may appeal to gay retirees who want structure, affordability, healthcare, parks, and practical city livingWhy Salvador may be especially compelling for Black gay retirees seeking Afro-Brazilian culture and visibilityWhy Florianópolis offers beaches, nature, wellness vibes, and a relaxed queer-friendly lifestyleWhy São Paulo takes the top spot as Brazil's queer mega cityWhy Portuguese, safety planning, neighborhood choice, and local research matter before movingWhy the question is not “Is Brazil right for every gay retiree?” but “Which Brazil fits the retirement lifestyle I actually want?”Brazil may not be right for everyone. If you want perfect predictability, spotless bureaucracy, or a country that runs like a Swiss train schedule, Brazil may test your spirit.But if you want warmth, affordability, legal residency options, strong LGBTQ+ protections, private healthcare, culture, food, music, and cities with real queer life, Brazil may deserve a spot on your retirement abroad shortlist.Before you make any move, research it, visit for longer than a vacation, and run the numbers for your actual life. This is a lot easier with a plan of action and that's exactly why we created the Queer Money Retire Abroad Planner and Calculator.

Jimmy and Mika are back with your No. 1 Nordic podcast, and this time they're joined by Johannes Rydzek for an in-depth conversation about one of the biggest stories in winter sports: the removal of Nordic Combined from the Olympic program.Johannes shares his perspective on what the decision means for athletes, the future of the sport, and why he believes Nordic Combined still deserves its place on the biggest stage. We discuss how the news has affected the community, what can be done to grow the sport, and the challenges athletes now face as they look beyond the next Olympic cycle.Of course, it wouldn't be Skirious Problems without plenty of laughs along the way. From behind-the-scenes stories on the World Cup to the usual banter between Jimmy and Mika, this episode has a bit of everything.Fresh episodes every two weeks, plus behind-the-scenes training VLOGs coming soon.
For over a decade, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden have consistently ranked among the happiest nations on Earth—but why? We dig into the research behind the World Happiness Report, separate fact from political myth, and explore whether strong social safety nets, low governmental corruption, public trust, and the Nordic model of government really do create happier lives. Along the way, we also examine the decades of propaganda, misconceptions, and ideological battles that have shaped how many Americans think about Scandinavia—and ask what lessons, if any, the United States should take from the world's happiest people.

Karl Liapunov joins EXPresso for a conversation about growing up between the US and Norway, taking a one-way ticket to Oslo, working with Nordic founders through StartupLab, and launching Starting Cold - a new video series focused on Nordic founders, operators, athletes and outliers building at an international level.Karl Liapunov grew up in the US with a strong Norwegian connection, Norwegian spoken at home, and summers spent in Norway. After starting his career in investment banking in Houston, he decided to leave the safe path behind, buy a one-way ticket to Oslo, and build a new chapter in Norway.That decision eventually led him to StartupLab, where he spent several years working closely with Norwegian and Nordic founders, particularly around energy, climate tech, internationalization and the bridge between the Nordics and global markets.Now Karl is based in New York and has launched Starting Cold — a new video series and platform built around Nordic founders, operators, athletes and outliers who are building at an international level.In this episode, we talk about what it means to grow up between two cultures, the difference between Norway and the US, why Norway is an incredible place to come from but sometimes a difficult place to stand out, and why Nordic companies often become very good at building but not always as good at telling the world what they have built.We also get into cold outreach, taking risk, moving countries without a perfect plan, StartupLab, energy and climate tech, media, venture, and why storytelling may become one of the most important tools for the next generation of Nordic founders.Topics we cover:Growing up between the US and NorwayNorwegian identity, language and culture from the outsideThe difference between American and Norwegian ambitionLeaving investment banking and moving to Oslo without a clear planBuilding a network from scratch in a new countryStartupLab and the Norwegian startup ecosystemEnergy, climate tech and Norway's international advantageWhy Nordic founders need stronger global storytellingThe role of media in venture, fundraising and ecosystem-buildingStarting Cold and Karl's mission to highlight Nordic outliersWhy cold outreach can change the direction of your lifeWhat Norway can learn from the US — and what it should not copySong credit via riverside.fmX64NDHCVOUSLFDEQ

Continuing Issue 74 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. Now it's the Remakes Tribunal where we put two films up for judgement. First up, it's a Remake on Trial and we ask whether they should have made another screen adaptation of Thomas Harris's Red Dragon after Michael Mann's version from the 80s. Then we offer a Parole Board hearing to a film that didn't work the first time and ask if a remake would fix its problems. This time it's The Snowman, in which everyone made a terrible mess of trying to bring Jo Nesbo's Nordic crime fiction antihero Harry Hole to the screen. Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems are already out, and there's a Christopher Nolan special coming up in a few days.

Jimmy and Mika are back with your No. 1 Nordic podcast, and this time they're joined by American ski star Sophia Laukli for an honest conversation about one of the toughest seasons of her career.After stepping away from racing to deal with ongoing health challenges, Sophia opens up about what it was really like to put skiing on hold, the physical and mental battles behind the scenes, and how she's worked her way back toward the World Cup.We talk about rebuilding fitness from scratch, learning to trust the process again, balancing ski racing with trail running, and what motivates her as she returns to competition. Sophia also shares insights into life on the U.S. team, training, racing, and what she's hoping to achieve this winter.Of course, it wouldn't be Skirious Problems without plenty of laughs along the way. From training stories and travel chaos to the usual banter between Jimmy and Mika, this episode has a bit of everything.
Tonight on Sessions, we sail back to 2022—a year when my personal life was coming apart, my creative world was under siege, and a simple review of The Northman became something much bigger. What started as a movie podcast evolved into a three-hour conversation about friendship, creativity, courage, and what happens when living communities slowly become institutions."We Were Northmen" isn't really about Vikings. It's about brotherhood. It's about the halls we build together and how they don't always fall to outside enemies. Sometimes they're hollowed out from within by fear, bureaucracy, and the relentless desire to make everything safer, quieter, and easier to control. Inspired by the speed and ferocity of melodic extreme metal and the sweeping grandeur of Nordic folk traditions, this song transforms one chapter of my podcasting history into a saga of longships, burning kingdoms, ravens, and weary warriors who remember a time when the fire burned brighter.Some stories deserve to be told as essays. Others deserve to be sung over thunderous drums with hammers in hand. Tonight, we remember who we were.We Were Northmen.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
HEALTH NEWS Melatonin may safely reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain, study finds Study: Nordic Walking Reduces Depression Symptoms Within Weeks Connection or compulsion: How smartphones can deepen depression in older adults This Popular Workout Supplement May Give Cancer Immunotherapy a Big Boost Probiotic metabolite found to suppress melanoma tumor growth in mice Melatonin may safely reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain, study finds University of Sydney, June 30 2026 (News-Medical) A sleep supplement widely used to treat insomnia could help reduce reliance on some of the most common and potentially harmful pain medications, new research from the University of Sydney suggests. Published in PAIN, the study found melatonin can reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain with effects in a similar range to medications such as opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol. The study analyzed data from 2028 adults across 23 randomised controlled trials conducted in countries including the United States, Russia, Brazil, Egypt and China. Participants included people with conditions such as low back pain, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, as well as those recovering from surgeries including joint replacements and spinal procedures. On average, the study found that melatonin reduced pain by around nine points on a 0-100 scale, with the most rigorous trials showing reductions closer to 10 points, a similar magnitude to widely used pain medications. Across the trials, the dose and timing of melatonin varied depending on the condition and setting. For chronic musculoskeletal pain, doses typically ranged from 3 to 10 mg, with 3 mg per day the most commonly used. For postoperative pain, doses ranged from 1 to 10 mg, with 5 to 6 mg most common. Melatonin was generally taken at bedtime or up to one hour before sleep. Study: Nordic Walking Reduces Depression Symptoms Within Weeks Université Grenoble Alpes (France), July 1 2026 (Natural News) A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that supervised Nordic walking significantly reduced depression symptoms in adults with moderate to severe depression. The most pronounced improvements occurred within the first five weeks of the 10-week program, according to researchers. The study enrolled 64 adults, with 48 assigned to Nordic walking and 16 to a non-active control group. The findings challenge the commonly cited three-month timeframe for exercise benefits on depression. A secondary analysis examined whether participants with severe depression responded differently than those with moderate symptoms. According to the study, Nordic walking is a low-impact activity that engages the upper and lower body using poles, similar to cross-country skiing. The Nordic walking group showed significantly greater reductions in depression symptoms compared to the control group over the full 10 weeks. The largest reduction occurred from baseline to week five, with a large effect size; improvements from week five to week ten were smaller and not statistically significant. Participants with severe depression at baseline experienced even larger and faster improvements in the first five weeks, according to the secondary analysis. Connection or compulsion: How smartphones can deepen depression in older adults Rutgers University, July 1 2026 (Eurekalert) Compulsive smartphone habits in older adults can be linked to a higher risk of depression, according to a study led by a Rutgers researcher. Researchers said their findings raised concerns that technology widely promoted to build connections can instead deepen late-life isolation: While mobile devices can be invaluable lifelines, their impact on mental health depends heavily on the way people use them. A critical distinction, the researchers said, is whether someone uses technology to actively engage with the world or to withdraw. The study, published in JMIR Aging, drew on survey responses from 2,585 adults ages 60 and older living in 87 communities. Researchers collected health and demographic information, including age, gender, marital status, education and income, and measured depressive symptoms with a screening tool commonly used with older adults. Limited social participation emerged as the strongest predictor of depression, followed closely by smartphone addiction, defined as compulsive or excessive use that disrupts daily functioning. Problematic phone reliance appeared in nearly all cases of clinical depression, with older adults who rarely used interactive communication features facing the greatest risk. Another high-risk pattern emerged among older adults of both sexes: Those with higher incomes and education levels who suffered from smartphone addiction were more prone to clinical depression. This finding suggests that wealth, education, and technology access fail to protect against loneliness when screen time replaces real-world connections. This Popular Workout Supplement May Give Cancer Immunotherapy a Big Boost University of California at Los Angeles, July 1, 2026 (SciTech Daily) Creatine, a supplement widely used by athletes and bodybuilders, may also strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer, according to new research from UCLA. Previous findings from the same research team show that creatine boosts the activity of killer T cells, which destroy cancer cells. The new research found that creatine also supports dendritic cells, the immune cells responsible for detecting tumor material and activating killer T cells to launch an attack. Although many approved cancer immunotherapies target killer T cells, only about 20% to 40% of patients benefit from these treatments. Enhancing dendritic cells, which prepare and activate T cells, could improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy for more people. The researchers found that dendritic cells inside tumors produced much higher levels of the gene responsible for the creatine transporter, the protein that moves creatine into cells, than dendritic cells found in healthy tissue. They investigated whether increasing creatine could improve dendritic cell performance. Daily creatine injections in mouse models of melanoma slowed tumor growth while increasing both the number and activity of dendritic cells within tumors. The treated dendritic cells also released more chemical signals that attracted additional immune cells to the tumor. Probiotic metabolite found to suppress melanoma tumor growth in mice Southern Medical University (China), June 30 2026 (News-Medical) Immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1 have transformed melanoma treatment, yet more than half of patients fail to respond or eventually develop resistance. The tumor microenvironment and the gut microbiome are increasingly recognized as critical determinants of immunotherapy outcomes. Melanoma patients often show reduced levels of beneficial gut bacteria, including Bifidobacterium, and lower microbial diversity. Researchers have discovered that Bifidobacterium animalis—a probiotic commonly found in fermented dairy products—produces mannose, which activates CD8⁺ T cells and suppresses melanoma progression in mouse models. The study reveals a novel gut-microbiome-immune axis that could lead to new adjuvant strategies for melanoma immunotherapy. When given orally to mice with melanoma tumors, the bacterium significantly reduced tumor volume and weight—without ever colonizing the tumor tissue itself, indicating that its effects were mediated entirely through secreted metabolites. Using size fractionation and metabolomics, the team identified mannose as the key bioactive molecule—a small, non-protein compound under 3 kilodaltons. In mice, drinking water supplemented with 1% mannose replicated the anti-tumor effects of the live probiotic, increasing tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺ T cells and boosting their production of killer molecules like granzyme B (GZMB), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).
Can Europe afford to stand back as China rewrites the global electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem? In this episode, Julie Yu-Wen Chen at the University of Helsinki talks to United Nations Senior Adviser Matthew Gray for Europe and Central Asia Markets, who discusses the rapid international expansion of Chinese EVs. The conversation highlights how Chinese brands have moved beyond public buses to growing passenger car markets in the Nordic region and Central Asia through superior technology, lower price points, and patient policy. While European markets face limited model availability due to protectionism and strategic caution, Central Asian nations have seen an immediate and total transformation of their transport infrastructure with far higher and lower end Chinese EVs than in Europe - and dramatic new challenges in electrification capacity. Based in Copenhagen, with 20+ experience in the regions, Gray is speaking freshly with us after two recent months in Tajikistan and China. He compares EV and soft power growth in Scandinavia vs Central Asia, and explains that modern EVs act as geopolitical infrastructure, shifting the focus from simple manufacturing to long-term digital service ecosystems, data control, and entry into more vertical industries. As the West maintains protective barriers, China's control over the battery supply chain and hybrid innovations will likely force a global shift in both consumer and freight industries. Listeners can find Gray's fact-finding recap of Chinese EVs in Tajikistan here. Julie Yu‑Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Master's Programme in Area and Cultural Studies at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Her new book, Global Knowledge Production about China, explores how the practice of “China‑watching” has evolved over the decades. The book is freely accessible online.

Tyler Hoffman returns to the show to discuss diagnostics and observability data in embedded systems. We catch up on his life after startup acquisition, explore the hows and whys of keeping product data separate from operational data, and consider the realities of fleet management at scale. Tyler is the co-founder of Memfault. Memfault was acquired by Nordic Semiconductor about a year ago. While Nordic has nRF Cloud as a smaller scale solution for Nordic devices (~100 devices), Memfault will continue to maintain support for non-Nordic platforms as well. During the discussion, Tyler advocates for a "device-in-control" philosophy, emphasizing that edge devices should retain the intelligence to manage their own firmware updates and telemetry. We also discuss the practical constraints of remote fleet debugging, outlining why tools built for high-bandwidth web infrastructure will quickly bankrupt an IoT company, and identifying exactly when a project is too low-bandwidth, or too small, to justify an external observability platform. Christopher shares his recent experiences with Memfault which leads to a discussion of chunks, flash memory buffers and MDS. The Memfault Diagnostic Service (MDS) is a standardized way for BLE devices to send the chunk payloads to a gateway device (mobile phone) which can then forward the data to the Memfault cloud. If you want a deep dive into the reasoning around starting Memfault, Tyler was on Embedded.fm episodes 390: Irresponsible At the Time and 395: I Can No Longer Play Ping Pong. Reaching back into the archives, Elecia, Tyler, and Phillip Johnston were on the Memfault Coredump Sessions podcast, a special crosspost with Embedded.fm, episode 451: From Concept to Launch You can also find technical deep dives on Memfault's Interrupt blog.

Despite being a nation steeped in folklore and legend, Finland possesses surprisingly few modern accounts of the mysterious or paranormal. Yet during the early 1970s, the Nordic country became the setting for a series of bizarre UFO encounters that would leave a lasting impression upon those involved. The most disturbing of these incidents centred upon a strange humanoid figure reportedly seen in the forests of central Finland; a being that would later become known as the Kinnula Entity.
