Podcasts about North Coast

The North Coast 500 is one of the most iconic cycling routes in the world. A challenging 500-mile loop around the rugged Scottish Highlands, it demands resilience, planning, determination, and an ability to keep moving when everything in your body is telling you to stop.In this episode, we sit down with newly ratified North Coast 500 Women's World Record holder, Caroline Livesey, to hear the story behind her remarkable ride.From the early planning stages and months of preparation through to the highs, lows and defining moments out on the road, Caroline shares what it really takes to ride the NC500 at world-record pace.Joining the conversation is Mark Livesey, who was part of the support crew throughout the attempt. Mark offers a unique perspective from behind the scenes, discussing the realities of managing a moving operation around the clock, making critical decisions under pressure, and helping keep the rider focused on the task at hand.Together, they explore the importance of teamwork in ultra-endurance cycling. World records are rarely individual achievements, and Caroline's ride was no exception.The episode highlights the contribution of a dedicated support team whose collective efforts helped turn an ambitious goal into a historic achievement.We also discuss the key partnerships that played a crucial role in the success of the record attempt. Precision Fuel & Hydration were instrumental in developing and refining Caroline's nutrition and hydration strategy, ensuring that energy intake matched the demands of riding at record pace for over 32 hours. Meanwhile, EZ Gains worked extensively to optimise Caroline's aerodynamic position and equipment setup, helping extract every possible advantage over such a long and demanding route.The conversation covers strengths and weaknesses, lessons learned, moments that went exactly to plan, and those that required adaptation on the fly. It's an honest look at what happens when meticulous preparation meets the unpredictable reality of ultra-endurance cycling.Whether you're an endurance athlete, a cyclist dreaming of tackling the NC500, or simply fascinated by what people are capable of achieving when they commit fully to a goal, this episode provides a fascinating insight into the pursuit of a world record on one of Britain's most spectacular roads.Dontate to charity - https://peakeducationnepal.com/

In 2017, 96-year-old Mary Armington took a trip from her home in Florida to Astoria to visit her son, Dr. William Armington. As a radiologist at the time at Columbia Memorial Hospital, Dr. Armington had diagnosed cancer in hundreds of patients, some of whom had delayed getting care because of financial hardships.    So Mary decided to help by donating $50,000 to start a fund for cancer patients in the North Coast region to pay for expenses like transportation, utility bills, lodging and rent. Nine years later, the Arm-in-Arm Fund has nearly tripled in size and has given grants to dozens of patients at the CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative in Astoria.    This year, the Columbia Memorial Hospital Foundation increased to $2,000 the grant money a team of social workers can award to an individual to help them, for example, replace a broken refrigerator or repair a home furnace. Money from the fund has also been used to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday meals for patients and their families. Joining us to discuss the fund and its impact are Mary Armington and William Armington, who is now retired and has also donated to the fund. Mark Kujala, foundation director of Columbia Memorial Hospital also joins us.  

In this episode, I chat with Caroline about the importance of carrying spares in triathlon,  especially in long-course racing, and why knowing how to actually use them is just as important as having them.We also discuss Rachel Entrekin's incredible Cocodona 250 performance, and explore why women often seem able to compete with, and even outperform, men in ultra-endurance events of this distance.The conversation then moves onto “hero weeks” and the growing trend of athletes trying to replicate the 35–40 hour training weeks shared by elite professionals. We discuss why this can send the wrong message, and why it's important to understand that elite athletes have spent years gradually building the ability to absorb that kind of workload.Finally, Caroline gives a quick update on her North Coast 500 attempt and the training leading into it.Just Giving donation page: North Coast 500 World Record Attempt - Changing Lives Through Education in Nepal - JustGiving Live Track: LIVE: North Coast 500 World Record Attempt 2026 | GPS Tracking powered by Follow My ChallengeWebsite and video: North Coast 500 Record Attempt - Peak Education Nepal

Text HOG-POD with your thoughts on this episode. The Week That Was Returns – Cider Rally Stories, NW200 Buzz & Terry Bradley's Special Event After a short break, The Week That Was podcast is back — catching up on everything happening across the HOG world, the roads, the rallies, and the people who make the motorcycle community what it is. Joining us this week is Nyree, fresh back from a weekend at the legendary Cider Rally. We hear all about the trip, the weather, the bikes, the characters she met along the way, and why rallies like this continue to be such a huge part of biker culture. From campsite stories to the ride home recovery, Nyree gives us a proper inside look at what makes the rally experience special year after year. We also turn our attention to one of the biggest events in the road racing calendar — the North West 200. With race week fast approaching, we discuss the atmosphere building around the North Coast and why the event remains such an important part of motorcycle culture in Ireland and beyond. Whether you're a lifelong road racing fan or someone planning their first trip up to the coast, we'll talk through what makes the NW200 week unlike anything else. And there's more. We also chat about a special upcoming event involving renowned Belfast artist and passionate motorcyclist Terry Bradley. Known for his powerful artwork and strong links to the biking community, Terry's latest event promises to bring together art, motorcycles, and storytelling in a unique way. We discuss what people can expect, why the event matters, and how creativity and motorcycle culture often overlap more than people realise. As always, expect the usual mix of laughs, opinions, stories from the road, and a look ahead at what's coming up next in the HOG calendar. So grab a coffee, get the bike cleaned for the weekend, and join us for the return of The Week That Was. 

I greet you in Jesus' name! It is Sunday morning, the 10th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Acts 17:6:“…These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” Folks, wherever the Holy Spirit moves, wherever the presence of God is, there is either a riot or a revival! That's what I've experienced in my life, and we must be prepared for it and not be afraid of it, because the Bible tells us clearly in Romans 8:31 that if Christ is for us, then who can be against us? For many years, I was on the other team. I was the one who was trying to make a way for myself. I was the one who was always negative, and these guys that are over the top, I had no time for them, but you know when God touched me, He turned my life upside down, inside out, and I can tell you today that wherever I am with the Lord, He is there before me and I am ready for whatever happens.Just the other day, we had a prayer meeting. When I arrived, I saw two strange men there, fine-looking young men, and I said, ”Welcome to our prayer meeting. Where have you come from?” They said, ”We've come from the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.” I said, ”What time did you get up this morning to come to the meeting?” They said, ”Quarter to three in the morning.” They want to hear from God. They want to receive from the Lord and that is good news! Do not be surprised when you see things happening that you actually had nothing to do with because God does it.God sent Paul and Silas to preach the Gospel and what happened? Well, absolute chaos and absolute Holy Spirit power, and I want to say to you today that you and I need to be ready for whatever the Lord has got in store for us because I can tell you right now it will not be like it was before. We are living in the last days and the Lord is moving very powerfully. We don't have to make things happen, not at all. All we have to do is be available, open our mouths and tell people about Jesus. That's all that Paul and Silas did and they were accused of turning the world upside down. Of course, they were quite right, weren't they? Because that's exactly what is happening now. Jesus bless you today as you turn the world upside down simply by telling people who the Son of God is. He is the soon-coming Saviour of the world.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

Three dead in a boating tragedy off the far north coast of New South Wales... the United States shoots down multiple Iranian missiles... and Brisbane Lions player Koby Evans accepts responsibility for using a homophobic slur.

On April 21st, US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins rocked the North Coast with a Tweet: She claimed that a Los Angeles-area local water district, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, wanted to purchase the Eel River dams to operate them for hydroelectric power and provide irrigation. The Water District has since walked back Sec. Rollin's Tweet, claiming that it had no firm plans and its interest was, at present, only exploratory. Now, Congressman Huffman is involved and livid—rightfully so, as he has worked hard on a solution that would work for both parts of his district—and has initiated an investigation into this affair. Alicia Hamann and Scott Greacen of Friends of the Eel River join the show to discuss whether the public should take this threat seriously and what can be done to keep dam removal on track.Support the show

Joyce Scoglietti played slow pitch softball for most of her life. She started at 2nd base in a church league when she was 8 years old and now plays with the Northcoast Vintage Players, a league for 45+.  Joyce was born in 1957, so most of her young athletic career happened before Title IX passed. There were no school sports programs available to her until the 10th grade when she joined competitive volleyball, basketball, and softball teams. She speaks of finally having a uniform, coaches, and referees! Joyce was the recipient of the first award for athlete of the year from Billie Jean King.  Joyce also refereed high school volleyball for 36 years and was the president of the Cleveland Volleyball Officials Association for 15 of those years. During that time she witnessed the level of play rise exceptionally. She tells us what that looked like and how it impacted the reffing.   Joyce and Hear Her Sports host Elizabeth Emery also talk about playing with the boys until puberty, weird gym suits, feeling at home and truly like herself in the gym, the importance of her coaches, and still playing softball for the love of the game.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Sara Eydmann — ultra-marathon runner, counsellor and therapist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. At 30 years old, Sara is no stranger to pushing her limits. From attempting to run 500 miles to taking on the North Coast 500, her journey into ultra-running has been anything but straightforward. But behind the miles is a powerful and deeply honest story about mental health, identity, resilience and learning to change the narrative. Growing up as an only child, Sara was always active — until an eating disorder at 14 forced her to stop exercising completely. Years later, she found her way back to running, initially using it as a way to control her weight. During lockdown, her running became increasingly intense, driven and compulsive. With the support of therapy and a coach, she began learning how to train with more structure, balance and self-awareness — eventually making it to the start line of her first marathon in 2023. Shortly after, she signed up for her first ultra. In this episode, Sara shares her experience of being late diagnosed with Autism at 27 and ADHD at 29 (AuADHD), and how that diagnosis helped her better understand herself, her anxiety, and the way her brain works — particularly in high-stress, high-performance environments. We dive into: Attempting to run 500 miles — and the reality of getting injured 256 miles in Managing anxiety at the start line Working with a crew and handling the overwhelming admin side of big challenges Dealing with a stress fracture and the emotional fallout of stopping The mental battle of ultra-distance running — self-talk, fear, surrender and staying rational The financial and logistical realities of funding endurance challenges Having her dad there for support Trusting the process instead of fearing the outcome Sara speaks candidly about what it feels like to "lose your head" mentally during a challenge, the lessons she's taken from injury, and how she's learning to run from a place of curiosity rather than compulsion. Now preparing to move to France for a year to focus on training, immerse herself in the culture and learn French, Sara is continuing to explore what's possible — on her own terms. This is an episode about endurance, identity, healing, and redefining success. Trust the process. Don't fear the outcome. *there is mention of eating disorders and running for weight loss - we do not go into specifics  ***  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? Support via Patreon!

We speak to Mark Graham who, like so many others, has risked a lot to advocate for these Gondwanaland forests.  He pays tribute to many of the groups and individuals who have worked for this achgievement and firsat among them are the Gumbaynggirr People whose traditional lands are on the mid North Coast, stretching from the Nambucca River(link is external) in the south to the Clarence River(link is external) in the north, and inland to the Great Dividing Range. Their country is associated with the area around Coffs Harbour(link is external) and includes beaches, rivers, estuaries, and mountains.  Virginia Young  says that Carbon Offsets are used to delay real action on Climate Change and Australia is one of the countries most relying on them instead of rapidly moving away from coal oil and gas.https://wilderness.org.au/forest-carbon-explained

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is in China for the first visit by a Canadian leader in almost a decade. Already, he's signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Beijing that could result in more Canadian oil, natural gas, and clear energy exported to China. But as Dan Karpenchuk reports, before he left, PM Carney made a stop over in British Columbia to talk with Coastal First Nations about his plans for energy exports. The meeting was held in Prince Rupert, and on the agenda – Ottawa's major projects. The Coastal First Nations, made up of nine First Nations, try to ensure that they have a say in how resources and waters are managed.  They also work to protect the Great Bear Rainforest and the British Columbia (BC) coastline. And they have strongly opposed the idea  of a new pipeline or the end of a ban on the moratorium on oil tankers. Both are major components of Ottawa's plans to diversity Canada's trade in energy, and move away from dependency on U.S. trade, especially now in the era of uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump. But Coastal First Nations remain opposed to any new pipeline to the BC coast. Carney played down expectations, saying that the meeting was more about dialogue to explore ways they could work together, but the coastal chiefs are not budging on their opposition, according to the group's president, Maily Slett. “We reiterated that there is no technology that can clean up an oil spill at sea. And that it would take just one spill to destroy our way of life. We shared our reliance on a healthy and intact ocean and our determination to protect the ocean and the ecosystem that we rely upon.” Without their support, Carney's government appears to be in a lose-lose situation. Coastal chiefs say they will use every tool available to stop construction if Ottawa pushes ahead with a North Coast pipeline. The St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral choir performs hymns during a Christmas celebration on January 7 at the Yagheli Shesh Qenq’a Anchorage Native Primary Care Center. (Photo: Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) The holidays may be over, but Alaskans across the state recently celebrated Russian Orthodox Christmas and New Year. Celebrations often include hymns, feasts, and a tradition called Starring, or Slaviq. One celebration in Anchorage brought together people who could not celebrate the holiday with their families or in church. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA was there and has the story. Singers in kuspuks and head scarfs chant Christmas hymns in English, Yup’ik, Russian, and Church Slavonic. Next to them, three young men spin sparkling pinwheel-shaped stars on wooden poles, each with an Orthodox icon of a Nativity scene in the center. The group is gathered for a Russian Christmas celebration hosted by the Alaska Native Medical Center at their primary care clinic. The singers are from St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral choir in Anchorage, though most of them are originally from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Alaska Orthodox Archbishop Alexei was a part of the opening of Slaviq, a custom he says originated in the Carpathian Mountains in Eastern Europe. “This wonderful, beautiful tradition that has been in Alaska for over 100 years.” Okalena Patricia Lekanoff-Gregory is from Unalaska and grew up singing hymns in Aleut and Russian. Her family always gathered around Slaviq to decorate stars for the celebration. Now she makes them herself. Gregory says she wants to pass down the tradition to the next generation. “It’s our history. It’s been going, coming over from Ukraine, from Russia, and and still being sung today. To me, it’s powerful.” The best part of the night for Gregory is having a big feast, sometimes until two in the morning. And she loves it when the songs make people move. She remembers one song from her childhood, similar to @Joy to the World@, that shifted between fast and slow tempo. “You could see the people kind of dance or move to it. You're not supposed to dance in church, right? But this song, they always did. All the elders, you can see them tapping their feet, and their head bop. I miss that.” Gregory says she was happy to attend Slaviq at the primary care center, to bring comfort and healing to patients. After the performance, the group crossed the street from the primary care center and continued the procession at the patient housing. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

He shares practical thoughts on how to build consistency into your day-to-day life, and why small, repeatable habits often matter more than any “perfect” training plan when it comes to long‑term performance.Finally, Caroline and Mark talk about her ambitious bid to break the world record on Scotland's iconic North Coast 500 this summer. They discuss the planning, physical demands, and mental resilience required for such a challenge, and what this attempt means to Caroline both as an athlete and as a person.Tune in for a mix of honest chat, practical training insight, and a look behind the scenes at a major endurance record attempt in the making.

Tonight, we are tasting three wines. Two will be around $10, and a third wine will be over $20. Can we taste the difference?Tonight, we are tasting:2022 Epicuro Aglianico from Puglia, Italy.

Single varietal wine, fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by maturation on the lees for several months before bottling.

People say it can be a little hot, but pairs well with burgers, pizza, and tacos.2017 Skylark las aves from the North Coast of California. This was purchased from Wine Styles for around $25. Mendocino County California. A Spanish inspired blend of 33% Carignane, 27% Syrah, 26% Grenache, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. Received a 92 rating from Wilfred Wong. Aromas of red cherry and raspberry, floral violet, and forest floor.Denise liked the $12 wine, the Tribunal. I preferred the $25 Skylark.

The Conservatives are looking to magnify a potential rift in Liberal caucus on Tuesday, with a motion that would force MPs to show their support for a new oil pipeline to B.C. and changes to the North Coast tanker ban. Andrew Scheer tells Power & Politics his party is putting forward the motion because 'Canadians deserve clarity,' and accuses Prime Minister Mark Carney of delivering a different message to Alberta than other parts of the country. Plus, Catherine Abreu explains why she was one of two members who resigned from Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body last week, saying the Carney government 'at no point' sought its advice on the oil and gas projects it's supporting.

Retired agent Martin Suarez reviews his nearly seven-year undercover role infiltrating from inside the cartels. During Operation Colaboro, using the alias “Manny,” he smuggled millions of dollars' worth of cocaine for the Medellín Cartel, all of which was seized by the FBI after delivery. During Operation Golden Trash, Martin became a high-level money launderer for the North Coast Cartel. When the operation ended and the cartel thought Manny had stolen their money, they sent a hitman to Martin's home to kill him. Martin is the author of Inside The Cartel: How An Undercover FBI Agent Smuggled Cocaine, Laundered Cash, and Dismantled a Colombian Narco-Empire. His co-author, Ian Frisch, also takes part in this interview.
