PARENTAL WARNING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH CHILDREN PRESENT!What's up, dudes? It's July, and it's ridiculously hot, so we're gonna have a watch-along party for the Rankin Bass classic “Santa Claus is Comin' to Town”. I've got CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas podcast, and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to provide commentary and enjoy the ride!The story chronicles the rise of Kris Kringle, an abandoned ginger baby who grows up with a family of toy-making elves and eventually decides to deliver their wares to the miserable children of Sombertown. Unfortunately, the town is ruled by Burgermeister Meisterburger, a goose-stepping fun-hater who declares toys illegal after suffering a workplace-related yo-yo injury. Along the way, Kris befriends future Mrs. Claus Jessica, teaches the icy Winter Warlock the restorative power of choo-choos, and recruits a small army of flying reindeer for his increasingly elaborate toy-smuggling operation. After being jailed for spreading unauthorized merriment, Kris escapes, grows a beard, changes his name to Santa Claus, and relocates his entire operation to the North Pole like some sort of Yuletide witness-protection program. Eventually, the Burgermeister dynasty dies out, everyone realizes banning toys was incredibly stupid, and Santa becomes an immortal international trespasser celebrated for breaking into millions of homes every December.Icy Sauron? Check. Megalomaniacal tyrant? Yep. Late ‘60s acid trip hippie song? Only with psychedelic background effects! So grab your magic feed corn, hop on your flying reindeer, and climb down the chimney to this episode on "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!"Rose Suchak LadderIG: @rosesuchakladderpodLost Christmas PodcastFB: @LostChristmasPodcastTwitter: @LostChristmasP1IG: @lostchristmaspodcastIG: @alamocitysanta Etsy: North Pole General Store FB: @northpolegeneralstore                             IG: @northpole_generalstore Give us a buzz!

Astronomy Daily · S05E164 “Eclipse Eve” · Tuesday 11 August 2026. Sources are primary/agency where possible; aggregator dates were checked against originals. In this episode •    LEAD — The 12 August total solar eclipse: the only total eclipse of 2026 and the first over mainland Europe since 1999. Totality arcs from Siberia over the North Pole to eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain and a sliver of Portugal; maximum totality ~2 min 18 s. Partial for much of North America near sunset; not visible from Australia. ESA livestreams from the Javalambre Observatory, Spain. •    MIDDLE 1 — A state CASC Long March 7A exploded ~85 seconds after lifting off from Wenchang on 10 August, a total loss (payload reported as the Zhongxing-4B communications satellite). Separately, Landspace's private Zhuque-3 was on the same-night manifest from Jiuquan for its second propulsive landing-legs recovery attempt — outcome unconfirmed at recording. China's first orbital-booster landing (net-capture, Long March 10B) already succeeded on 10 July. •    MIDDLE 2 — The Perseids peak overnight 12–13 August under a New Moon — the darkest conditions in roughly two decades. Parent comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Realistic ~30–50 meteors/hr from dark sites (nominal ~100), with a slim chance of a dust-trail boost; the next confidently forecast outburst is 2028. •    MIDDLE 3 — Japan's H3 launched Michibiki No. 7 (QZS-7) from Tanegashima, bringing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System up to the strength Japan needs to run it as a standalone service — a regional navigation layer that keeps a satellite near the zenith over Japan/Asia-Pacific, reinforcing GPS and building navigation resilience. The satellite also hosts a US Space Force space-surveillance sensor (SACHI). •    CLOSER — Both-hemispheres skywatch: eclipse viewing times (totality window ~16:58–18:34 UT, greatest ~17:46 UT) and the ISO 12312-2 eye-safety rule; Perseid how-to for the North (best 2 a.m.–dawn); and Southern-Hemisphere content — pre-dawn planets, evening Venus, Comet 10P/Tempel 2. Eye safety •    A partial eclipse is never safe to view with the naked eye. Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses/viewers, or indirect projection (pinhole). Direct viewing is only safe during true totality, and only inside the path (Greenland, Iceland, Spain).

What's up, dudes? Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to talk about Rainbow “Snowman!” Yes, the former Deep Purple guitarist took Howard Blake's song from the 1982 classic and reworked it as an atmospheric synth and electric guitar anthem!Rainbow was formed in 1975 by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he began to tire of Deep Purple and the band's changing musical direction. Deep Purple had already replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, but Blackmore remained unhappy with where the music was headed. What began as Blackmore recording a single with members of the band Elf ultimately grew into a full album and the creation of Rainbow. The band quickly became known for its larger-than-life live shows, whose centerpiece was a massive computer-controlled rainbow containing some 3,000 lightbulbs and stretching 40 feet across the stage. Rainbow also became notorious for its revolving door of musicians, with original vocalist Ronnie James Dio departing in 1978 over disagreements about the band's increasingly commercial musical direction. After further lineup changes, Joe Lynn Turner eventually took over as lead singer, ushering in Rainbow's more radio-friendly early-'80s era. That lineup would lead to Bent Out of Shape, released September 9, 1983, which featured the song in question as the album's ninth track.Rainbow's instrumental “Snowman,” featured on their 1983 album Bent Out of Shape, is based on “Walking in the Air,” the haunting theme written by composer Howard Blake for the beloved 1982 animated film The Snowman, itself adapted from Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book. Blake had actually composed the melody around 1970 before later adapting it for the television special, where it became the musical centerpiece of the story. The Snowman—which went on to become a seasonal television favorite in Britain and Finland—follows the fleeting adventure of a young boy and the snowman he brings to life. During their magical flight to the North Pole, “Walking in the Air” accompanies the pair as they soar through the night before attending a gathering of snowmen and meeting Santa Claus and his reindeer. In the original film, the song was performed by St. Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, whose recording was later reissued in 1985 and 1987. Ritchie Blackmore was captivated by the composition's haunting, melodic beauty and, having long enjoyed adapting classical and traditional melodies into rock instrumentals, transformed Blake's delicate vocal theme into “Snowman.” Rainbow's version builds atmospheric tension around the familiar melody before giving Blackmore the opportunity to let loose with a soaring, emotional electric-guitar lead—turning one of animation's most delicate Christmas themes into a distinctly Rainbow instrumental.Synth flute? Check. Fuzzy guitar? Got it. Brad Fiedel The Terminator-style synth percussion? Definitely! So grab your guitar, stand behind that keyboard, and rock out to Rainbow “Snowman!”‘Tis the SoundtrackYouTube: @TisTheSoundtrackIG:  @tisthesoundtrackGive us a buzz!

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Lai boards coast guard vessel to observe coastal defense President Lai Ching-te boarded a Coast Guard Administration vessel in New Taipei's Bali District to observe coastal defense (海岸防禦) operations during the Han Kuang military exercise. According to the Presidential Office, Lai received briefings (簡報) on the patrol vessel's equipment and coastal strike operations. He also inspected its missile launcher system and learned about its configuration and operational readiness (作戰準備狀態). Thursday marked the second day of the Han Kuang exercise, with drills in the north focusing on coastal defense and other defensive operations. Typhoon Dolphin moves west Meteorologist Wu De Rong says Typhoon Dolphin appears to be moving further west even as it continues to weaken. The Central News Agency cites Wu as saying that while the system is expected to pass near the Ryukyu Islands today, uncertainty in its projected track (預測路徑) is increasing, making it less likely that the storm might miss Taiwan completely. Because of this, Wu is warning of intense rainfall in northern Taiwan and later in central and southern Taiwan tomorrow through the early morning of the 10th. While temperatures are expected to drop in parts of Taiwan, eastern Taiwan may experience extreme heat due to downslope warming (下坡增溫) caused by air descending over the mountains. Strong wind gusts are also expected across Taiwan, and residents are advised to take precautions. National Central University planning Arctic expedition Members of the National Central University's Polar Institute are taking part in what is Taiwan's first ever independently planned expedition (考察／探險) to the Arctic. According to the university, a 30-member team will be spending 12 days near Norway's Svalbard archipelago (群島), which is located midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The team includes scientists from Academia Sinica, the National Taiwan University and the National Academy of Marine Research. The university says although Taiwan is not an Arctic nation, changes in the Arctic could have long-term consequences for Taiwan. UKRAINE WARNS ALLIED AIR DEFENCE MISSILE SUPPLIES DOWN BY A THIRD AS ZELENSKY URGES URGENT ACTION AHEAD OF WINTER Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine has hit more oil facilities deep inside Russia. The attacks are part of Kyiv's effort to undermine (削弱) Moscow's wartime economy. Meanwhile, Russian drone and glide bomb attacks across Ukraine killed at least three civilians and wounded 22 others. Zelenskyy is urging his allies to supply interceptor missiles to bolster (加強／強化) Ukraine's air defenses. William Denselow reports from Brussels. That was William Denselow reporting. Iran reviews ban on US ships An Iranian parliamentary committee is ​reviewing a preliminary bill ‌that would bar (禁止) U.S., Israeli and ​other "hostile" vessels from ​transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The ban was reported by Iran's semi-official ​Fars news agency… and its citing a lawmaker. The draft bill would impose ​fines (處以罰款) of up ​to 20% of a ship's ‌cargo value for violations of the proposed restrictions. The lawmaker said ​the ​legislation was still under expert review ​and that ​parliament had invited specialists to submit recommendations before the ​draft is ​finalised. Canada climate change wildfires In North America, a new analysis (分析) found that climate change created conditions that led to Canada's Wildfires… even though the Trump administration thinks otherwise.

Pete Goss is an explorer, adventurer, and sailor best known for his rescue of Raphael Dinelli in the 1996-1997 Vendee Globe race, for which he was awarded medals of honor from both the UK and France. He has also sailed across the Atlantic multiple times, led expeditions to the North Pole, kayaked around Tasmania, sailed the biggest catamaran ever built, and completed many other adventures. He wrote the book "Close to the Wind," and was written about in the book "Goodforsaken Sea." I interviewed Pete in 2019, and this was one of the first podcast interviews I ever did.  We talk about is yacht - A Garcia Exploration 45 - and decision to sail casually with his wife Tracy instead of going on another grand adventure, planing only 3 days in advance, what sparked his spirit of adventure as a child, the Vendee Globe, being in the Royal Marines, his first ocean race (2-handed transatlantic), why he wanted to race alone around the wolrd, racing a small catamaran across the Atlantic, the British Steel Challenge, designing a boat for the Vendee Globe, addressing risk, sailing down 40' waves in the Southern Ocean, the moon refleciting off the backs of dolphins, rescuing Raphael Dinelli, maydays, trying to find a liferaft in giant waves with minimal loacation information, nursing Raphael in the ten days it took to get him to shore, polyphasic sleep, dealing with the cold, sleeping in a storm, the danger just after a storm, foulweather gear, racing around Britian and Ireland, writing, advice for parents, and more.

An Anchorage judge sentences a former Anchorage airport employee in a stalking case with over a half a dozen victims. A Fairbanks woman was sentenced Wednesday to 21 years in federal prison for her role in distributing the fentanyl that led to a North Pole man’s fatal overdose in the summer of 2022. Early voting has begun, but Alaskans aren’t just voting on their next U.S. Senator or governor; they’re deciding how much they can donate to help candidates get elected.  

Mark Piesing, author of N-4 Down: The Hunt for the Arctic Airship Italia, recounts a secret meeting in Norway in July 1925 that brought together legendary explorer Roald Amundsen and Italian engineer Umberto Nobile to plan the first airship flight over the North Pole. Amundsen, seeking a final financial triumph and the completion of his polar legacy, joined forces with Nobile, a brilliant designer facing political pressure from Mussolini's fascist regime. Their initial 1926 expedition in the airship Norge was a success, but it sparked a bitter rivalry as Nobile was celebrated as a "new Columbus" while Amundsen felt sidelined. By 1928, Nobile returned to the Arctic in a new airship, the Italia, a mission fueled by nationalistic pride and individual obsession. After reaching the North Pole, the craft encountered fierce winds and heavy ice, eventually smashing into the frozen wilderness. The crash split the crew; six men drifted away with the airship's envelope and vanished forever, while ten survivors, including Nobile, were stranded on the ice. A massive international rescue effort ensued, leading to the tragic disappearance of Amundsen, who vanished while flying to save his rival. The Soviet icebreaker Krassin eventually rescued the remaining survivors. However, Nobile's reputation was permanently tarnished when he allowed himself to be rescued first, leaving his crew behind. Upon returning to Italy, he faced the wrath of Mussolini, as the fascist state used him as a scapegoat to deflect from the expedition's failure. (1)1906 AMUNDSEN

Axel Heiberg Island in Northern Canada is the closest point of land to the North Pole. The landscape is completely barren today but long ago a dense forest of large meta-sequoia trees grew there. At that time, the climate must have been like Florida today. The stumps of these “fossil trees” have not mineralized and are still wood, that is, cellulose. They are claimed to be 45 million years old.Researchers at Johns Hopkins University studied the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of the cellulose. These lightweight isotopes are normally quickly lost by evaporation from dead wood but to their surprise the researches discovered an unusually high content. This means that their rate of evaporation was extremely low. In other words, not only did the trees grow in a humid climate but this climate continued a long time after the trees were destroyed. Further, cellulose is quickly broken down by bacterial action if exposed to air so that the trees were buried rapidly, deeply and a lot more recently than 45 million years ago.Creation Moments happened to be present when a sample of this wood was used to calibrate the equipment at a well-known Carbon 14 dating laboratory. Believing the wood to be 45 million years old it should contain no Carbon 14 but in fact it did and dated at only 41 thousand years!Ecclesiastes 11:3"If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.”Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, You have given us so much evidence for a recent creation and Your sustaining hand upon it. Please open the eyes of those who would willfully ignore these signs.

Remember when summer meant going outside because your parents were tired of looking at you? Juan and John do. In this episode, they reminisce about growing up in Florida, where the official state sport is sweating through your clothes before breakfast. They recall marathon games of kickball, wiffle ball, and the kind of heat that would make today's weather apps issue a dramatic warning. Juan even shares the engineering marvel he and his brother invented: a blanket tent over an air-conditioning vent that transformed a double-wide trailer into what they believed was the North Pole. Along the way, they wonder when surviving the summer went from being a childhood pastime to a liability waiver. They also wander into the surprisingly passionate debate over air conditioning, including why much of Europe spent decades treating it like an unnecessary luxury—right up until the atmosphere apparently decided to become soup. It's a funny trip back to a time when the cure for being overheated was drinking from a garden hose and then heading right back outside.

It's impossible to talk about friendship or community without the topic of loneliness. What is loneliness doing inside the body? How is it affecting our hearts, our brains, our stress hormones, and our actual day-to-day health?That's exactly what we're going to explore today with Dr. Alan Rozanski, a cardiologist who has spent decades studying this question: what allows people to truly flourish? Dr. Rozanski breaks down his six domains of health: physical health, mental vitality, emotional mastery, purposeful living, stress management, and social connectivity. And, of course, social connectivity is what I was most excited to talk about!This conversation gave me a lot to sit with, and I think it might do the same for you.In this episode you'll hear about:Why the effects of social media can be both a lifeline and the “fast food” version of connectionHow to think about “minimum standards” for friendship, movement, purpose, and emotional well-beingDr. Rozanski's six domains of health, and the vicious cycle that comes from just one low-ranking areaHow loneliness can become a cue we ignore or try to satisfy in the wrong place (plus, the stat that doesn't tell the whole story)Vitality, and why it can give us a “North Pole” for understanding what our health needsResources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Alan Rozanski on his website.Episode 58: You're Not Doing It Wrong: Why Friendship Looks Different for EveryoneEpisode 62: Finding Your Purpose Through Friendship with Mark Delaney of The Purpose MastermindEpisode 125: Super Psyched: The 4 Types of Connection We All NeedWANT MORE?

While the focus of Operation Merry Christmas this year seems to be dominated by Santa's new sleigh there is another sleigh in the skies on Christmas Eve – the one used by Elf Crash Murphy to chase Santa in the skies. His job is to observe Santa, measure his progress and position, and to report via North Pole Radio News from his chaser sleigh every Christmas Eve. Elf Crash draws more mail than just about any other elf at the North Pole due to his dual jobs of chasing Santa as an Eye in the Sky reporter and as International Director of Santa Trackers. They don't call him the Ultimate Santa tracker for nothing. He literally works tracking Santa for Santa all year long. And that is why he gets so much mail. In this episode of the North Pole Podcast we explore the questions people have about following Santa on Christmas Eve. And we get into the deep water of why Norad isn't exactly helpful in tracking Santa. Please click on the player above to hear this surprising episode.

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the middle of summer and likely scorching hot outside.  To cool you off a bit, we give you a Rankin-Bass special, combining the forces of Rudolph and Frosty.  Together, they and others try to stop a villain from turning the North Pole into his own evil wonderland.  This gets dark sometimes, and this was aimed at children?  And were children willing to sit through 90 minutes to 2 hours of this un-holly and un-jolly special?

"(An) unstoppable, one-of-a-kind reporter." That's how NPR reporter Elizabeth Arnold is described in her recent obituary. Hear what that means in a story she reported at the North Pole, where she says "Nature doesn't want you here.... Maybe that's part of the pull. You come to defy it." I'm pleased to honor Elizabeth on the latest episode of Sound School. 

PARENTAL WARNING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH CHILDREN PRESENT!What's up, dudes?

I've got CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas podcast, Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast, Santa Ambassador Matt Spaulding from North Pole Radio, and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to provide commentary and enjoy the ride!The story chronicles the experiences of Frosty the Snowman, an anthropomorphic being of precipitation who magically comes to life one Christmas. Embraced by the town's children because they created him, Frosty decides to escape the sweltering heat of the south and head to the North Pole. Throughout, he's chased Thunderbolt Ross-style by Prof. Hinkle, the Hogwarts reject. Unfortunately, the subpar magician even traps the enchanted snowman in a greenhouse which causes him to melt. Luckily, Santa Claus rescues the snowman and reanimates him with eldritch winter sorcery. He also forces the treacherous professor to write lines until he repents.Hogwarts flunkie? Check.

In this episode of the North Pole Podcast Elf Frank Myrrh discusses theories about Santa’s new sleigh and all the things Elf Crash didn't have time to address during a recent North Pole Chat. It is a very technical discussion about Santa’s sleigh and how it works. There are many early season things happening at the North Pole and most of them seem to be related to Santa's sleigh. Santa himself dropped in on Elf Crash's chat and announced a chat event during Christmas in July. But it was his comments about the new sleigh, which currently has test flights happening over the North Pole, that is gaining the most attention. Crash has been seeking clarification on Santa's comments and in this episode he shares his thoughts about Santa's new sleigh and why it is such an absorbing project for Santa right now.

Join us as we journey through Alaska's wild Interior, drive beneath the midnight sun, encounter wildlife along the lonely Richardson Highway, visit the Christmas-themed town of North Pole, and discover what life is really like in Fairbanks. ____________________________________S04 Ep166____________________________________Connect with us on social media: Instagram: @unscaledtravelshowTwitter: @fullmetaltravlrFacebook: @fullmetaltravelerWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/

When that approval is missing or broken, it leaves a deep longing—but the Bible points to a different kind of Father, one who shows us what fatherhood was meant to be.

There is a place at the top of the world where the land runs out, a sheer thousand-foot cliff rising straight from the Arctic Ocean, and nothing beyond it but open sea all the way to the North Pole. This is the North Cape - the northernmost point of continental Europe and getting there means sailing one of the most spectacular coastlines on Earth. From Oslo, we travel north through towering fjords and fishing villages so remote the ship is their only connection to the outside world. We pass the Lofoten Islands rising like a mountain range planted in the middle of the ocean, Alta - nicknamed the Northern Lights City - and on into the deep Arctic silence of Finnmark. Norway's coast is not just beautiful. It is staggering.The Northern Lights wait for us there too. The Sami called them Govsov - the light you can hear, the light that speaks. Science calls them solar particles colliding with the earth's atmosphere. But standing beneath them, none of that matters. What you are seeing is the invisible touch of our sun, raining down in colour all around you - and it is unlike anything you have ever experienced before.Join host Aaron Millar, and two expert guests, as we set sail on the North Cape Line with the legendary adventure ships of Hurtigruten. This is more than an expedition cruise, it is a journey to the edge of the world along one of the most awe-inspiring coastlines in the world in search of the Aurora at its most breathtaking.Produced in Armchair Explorer's signature documentary style, this immersive audio adventure is designed not just to let you hear what it's like to chase the Northern Lights along the Norwegian coast - but to feel it.Highlights include:Sailing the Trollfjord - a fjord so narrow it feels like you could reach out and touch the mountains on either side, sheer walls of rock and snow rising straight from the water around you.Standing at the North Cape - the northernmost point in Europe where beyond the cliff edge there nothing but the Arctic Ocean, all the way to the North Pole.Sitting inside a Sami Lavvu - warm with firelight and wood smoke - hearing stories, sharing food and listening to yoik, the ancient song form where every melody carries the spirit of a specific person, animal or place.Husky sledding into the Arctic wilderness - the moment the dogs stop barking, set off, and everything goes utterly silent. Just you, the animals, and the snow.The food of Norway's coast - fresh Arctic cod from the world's largest cod fishery in Lofoten, king crab hauled from the icy waters of Finnmark and cooked within the hour, cheese from a family farm whose recipes are 300 years old, and wild herbs foraged from cliff edges above the fjords.The Aurora itself - the crowning corona, where the lights rain down in every direction around you - “like taking a dream out of your head and placing it into the sky”FIND OUT MOREProduced in collaboration with Lonely Planet: LonelyPlanet.comThis journey is run by expedition cruise company Hurtigruten, whose ships have sailed this coastline for generations. This is what they promise: If you're on one of their 11-day or longer voyage during the Auroral season and the Lights don't appear, they'll give you another chance on a future sailing at no extra cost.Find out more at hurtigruten.comConnect with expert Aurora chaser Tom Kerss at TomKerss.com or follow him on Instagram at @tomkerssThank you also to Andre Pettersen, the man behind Hurtigruten's extraordinary food and community connections along the Norwegian coast.Know Someone Who Needs This?If this episode lit something up in you, do me a favour - send it to just one person.

With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival. Deb Olin Unferth is the author of seven books, including the novels Barn 8 and Vacation, the memoir Revolution, finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award, two story collections, and the graphic novel I, Parrot. Her fiction and essays have appeared in over fifty magazines and journals, including Harper's, the New York Times, The Paris Review, Granta, and McSweeney's.

Episode 226 of The Adventure Podcast features ex-England Rugby Captain, sailor, rower, and world-record holder, Ollie Phillips. After over a decade of elite sport and multiple Player of the Year awards, an unknown injury suddenly stopped Ollie's career. In this episode, Matt and Ollie cover what it's like to grieve a career and a life you dedicated yourself to, and what happens after. They talk about Ollie's last minute decision to say yes to the Clipper Round the World Race, having never sailed before, a world record expedition to the North Pole, and more recently, a charity row across the Atlantic. Ollie is funny, direct, and genuinely honest. And it turns out the gap between who you were and who you're becoming is where the most interesting stuff happens.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack. You can also follow along and join in on Instagram @‌theadventurepodcast.Chapter Breakdown00:00- 06:22: Who Ollie is now and the twelve-year rugby career that started it all.06:22-14:48: Why sports people and soldiers gravitate towards adventure, the ten-out-of-ten feeling that real life rarely matches, and what the corporate world gets wrong.14:48-22:43: Community, shared experience, and why Ollie has never started a story with "this one time, when I was on my own."22:43-33:24: How a spinal injury ended his rugby career in four hours, and why saying yes to a last-minute call from Sir Robin Knox-Johnston changed everything.33:24-39:14: Getting on the Clipper Race with no sailing experience, going from novice to second-in-command in three months, and the useful delusion that rugby might still be waiting at the end.39:14-49:13: PwC, the North Pole, and a fifteen-month legal battle just to play one last game of rugby at Twickenham for closure.49:13-1:00:51: What that final game meant, and the moment outside a basement flat that made Ollie realise he needed to change.1:00:51-1:05:03: Therapy, validation, fatherhood, and why not expecting anything from anyone has made everything better.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

In this episode of xMonks Drive, host Gaurav Arora sits down with Kaamya Karthikeyan — India's youngest female Everester, world record holder, and one of the most extraordinary young athletes in the world — for a rare long-form conversation about what it really takes to push past the limits of human endurance, again and again, from the time she was seven years old.Kaamya Karthikeyan became the youngest female in the world to complete the Seven Summits — climbing the highest mountain on every continent — at the age of 17. She has summited Mount Everest, Mount Vinson in Antarctica, Mount Denali in North America, Mount Aconcagua in South America, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mount Elbrus in Europe, and Mount Kosciuszko in Australia. She has also skied 111 kilometres to the Geographic South Pole as part of the Last Degree expedition, becoming the youngest Indian and one of the youngest women in the world to do so. She is currently 18 years old and studying engineering at Shiv Nadar University. She is also a competitive ski mountaineer who has represented India at the Asian Championships and the Youth World Cup, and won medals at the Khelo India Winter Games and the National Championships. Ski mountaineering recently became an Olympic sport at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.In this episode Kaamya talks about her Everest summit push — starting from Camp 4 in the middle of the night after 250 climbers had turned back, navigating whiteout conditions on the Lhotse Face, losing her expedition mitten at 8000 metres above sea level, and what her Sherpa did in that moment that she will never forget. She talks about skiing alone to the South Pole for 10 days with no landmarks, getting frostbite, being told by doctors to go home, and walking 8 hours with no guarantee she would be allowed to continue. She talks about the avalanche on Mount Trishul in Uttarakhand in 2021 that took the lives of six people she was close to, and how she processed that loss and went back to the mountains seven months later for the Denali expedition. She talks about the controversy around evacuation practices currently affecting the Himalayan climbing community and what it is doing to the relationship between climbers and the Sherpa community.This episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in mountaineering, Everest, high altitude climbing, the Seven Summits, the Explorers Grand Slam, polar expeditions, the South Pole, ski mountaineering, adventure sports in India, mental strength, resilience, overcoming fear, dealing with loss, and the human capacity to keep going when everything says stop.Kaamya Karthikeyan's story is one of the most remarkable sporting and human stories to come out of India in recent years. She started trekking at age 7 in Uttarakhand, summited her first 6000 metre peak at age 9 on Stok Kangri in Ladakh, trekked to Everest Base Camp at age 9, summited Kilimanjaro at age 10, Elbrus at age 11, Aconcagua at age 12 becoming the youngest girl in the world at the time, Denali at age 14, Everest at age 16 becoming the youngest Indian and one of the youngest women in the world to summit from the Nepal side, Vinson Massif in Antarctica at age 17 completing the Seven Summits, and skied to the South Pole at age 17. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about her on Mann Ki Baat when she was 12 years old. She has won the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar. She has been supported by the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation and the Reliance Foundation. Only the North Pole expedition remains before she completes the full Explorers Grand Slam.

I promise that I will state plainly for you – in ten short words – the singular Rule of Success before you have finished reading this Monday Morning Memo.Stay quiet and stay close. We are wandering into a dangerous area. To see the glittering truth of the Rule of Success, we must quietly sneak up on it.The North Star never moves because it hovers directly above the axis of the earth. If you draw a line from the South Pole to the North Pole and then extend that line 323 light years into space, it will touch the North Star.Your life's goal is your guiding light, your North Star. This is why you are forever traveling northward as you pursue your dream.But there is a limit to north. That limit is called the North Pole.When you go beyond that limit, you are now headed in the opposite direction.This is the bitter truth that has been tasted by every person who has achieved their life's goal:“You work your whole life to reach the summit. And when you get there, all the roads lead down.”Like every rule, North and South are finite and achievable.Like every principle, East and West are infinite and unachievable.You can travel east forever and never reach the end of “east.”“The opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect statement. But the opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth.”Without intending to do so, Niels Bohr summarized in those two sentences the fundamental difference between a rule and a principle. The first sentence describes every rule. The second sentence describes every principle.The person who turns a principle into a rule is a fool.I call that person a fool only because their mind is not big enough to hold in stasis the contradictory tension that is at the heart of every profound truth.Did it ever occur to you that helping people get what they want is the foundational principle behind every business on earth?Do you want to be successful?This the only Rule of Success:“Find out what people want, then give it to them.”Jesus taught us the eternal principle behind the Rule of Success when he said,“Love your neighbor as yourself.”Remove “Love” from that principle, and you will have a similar principle that says,“It is always good to help people get what they want.”But here is the “opposite truth” of that principle:“It is always bad to help people get what they want when it would require injuring an innocent person.”In other words, removing “love” wasn't such a great idea.People who worship at the altar of Ayn Rand always try to convince me that it is okay to damage naive, gullible, innocent people “because the only person that really matters is you, and you are not responsible for making other people happy. You are only responsible for making yourself happy.”Interestingly, that is exactly what Jeffrey Epstein believed.He died in prison for his belief, and his name has become a curse word.Bernie Madoff was only pretending to help people get what they wanted. He was perceived as “successful” for as long as he was able to sustain his con.Bernie likewise died in prison.Sam Bankman-Fried was a young fool who pretended to be helping people while he was robbing them blind.The courts took away the 11 billion dollars he stole. Then they locked him in a room the size of a walk-in closet where he will spend the next 25 years of his life.Removing love is never a good idea.– Roy H. Williams

What's up, dudes? Tim Babb from Can't Wait for Christmas joins me to dive into the bonkers special “Andy Williams & the NBC Kids Search for Santa!”Andy Williams is on a mission to restore his family's honor. Years ago his ancestor used to help Santa with his mail until one day he abandoned his mission out of frustration. Andy convinced  several NBC kid stars from The Cosby Show, Silver Spoons, and more to join him. You see, if 12 true believers accompany him to Santa's, there's a chance Santa will forgive his bloodline. Dark!After searching for clues at political assemblies, museums, and churches, he finally finds the mailman that delivers to the North Pole.

You have messed around and found yourself clicking on another installment from your favorite underground disc jockey on the internet. This episode, we flip through my Kanye catalogue. Vinyl only. So many bangers in this collection that I could easily do another Kanye episode equally as long, equally as good. I am a week late on the upload, for that I apologize. To try and inspire myself I looked at the stats of the pod. Clicked around and discovered a few things that are wicked hot. In the history of my tenure as a disc jockey.. We have managed 1,089 downloads in Asia, 874 in Europe, 131 in South America, 76 in Africa and 14 downloads in Oceania. All I need is someone to listen to my podcast at the North Pole and I'll have spanned the globe with my disc jockey audio radio thing we got going on ova hea now. Means absolutely nothing and I'll never make a dollar from this but holy smokes 14 downloads in Oceania fires me right up. Crushing continents with sound waves. Bing Bong. That'll about do it for me, I still need to update my ever-expanding Pokemon card portfolio. Heck yeah. Your Host with the Most,Witwicka Juan Don

Send us Fan Mail There's a quiet lie many of us carry. That it's too late. Too late to start, too late to change, too late to become someone new. If you've ever felt that, this episode is for you. Avik sits down with William Thomas, who didn't lace up his first running shoes until he was 42. Years later, he became one of a small group of people to complete the Marathon Grand Slam: a marathon on every continent and the North Pole. This conversation goes beyond fitness. It's about identity, resilience, and how showing up for one honest first step can rewrite the rest of your story. About the Guest: Dr. William Thomas is a retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel, former university professor, and leadership consultant based in Singapore. He began running at 42 and went on to complete the Marathon Grand Slam, running on all seven continents and at the North Pole. He is the author of Cross the Lines: A Journey to Complete the Marathon Grand Slam. Key Takeaways: Accountability is the bridge between intention and action. Telling people you'll do the hard thing creates the structure that keeps you moving when motivation drops. Running a marathon is more mental than physical. The deeper gift isn't fitness; it's the resilience and self-confidence that carries into every other challenge in life. Run the mile you're in. Big goals get accomplished through small consistent steps, not by obsessing over the finish line from mile five. Everybody needs an Ethan. Surround yourself with people who say "I think you can do this," not those who quietly count the reasons you can't. Backup plans aren't a sign of weak commitment. Multiple paths to the same goal protect you when life inevitably changes the route.
