Friends of the Rosary,Today, December 6, we celebrate the memorial of St. Nicholas of Myra (d. 346), a 4th-century bishop and one of the most popular saints in the Western world, honored as the patron saint of children.Born in Lycia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), he practiced remarkable spiritual and corporal works of mercy and worked tirelessly to defend the faith.His legends of generosity made him into today's Santa Claus, a white-bearded gentleman who captivates children with promises of gifts on Christmas Eve.During the persecutions of Diocletian, he was imprisoned for preaching Christianity, but was released during the reign of Emperor Constantine.His relics are still preserved in the church of San Nicola in Bari. There is an oily substance, known as Manna di S. Nicola, highly valued for its medicinal powers, that is said to flow.Veneration for Nicholas spread throughout Europe and Asia, and countless miracles were attributed to the saint's intercession.The story of Saint Nicholas reached America in a distorted form. The Dutch Protestants carried a version of the saint's life to New Amsterdam, portraying Nicholas as a Nordic or North Pole magician and wonder-worker who brings happiness to small children.Our present-day conception of Santa Claus has grown from this version.Catholics should think of Nicholas as a saint, a confessor of the faith and the bishop of Myra, not merely as a jolly man from the North Pole.Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

What? A snowball fight at the North Pole—Old Mrs. Moody vs. Santa's elves? Yes, that happens in this Christmastime adventure! It all started ... while Christmas shopping at the new bookstore in town, Catbaloo and Old Mrs. Moody find the most beautiful Christmas book they have ever seen. Inside, a picture of Santa's workshop is so delightful, they want to jump right into it and be part of it. And that is exactly what they do! At the count of three, they close their eyes and, with their imagination, they "JUMP" into the book! In the blink of an eye, they find themselves at the North Pole. When Old Mrs. Moody accidentally starts a snowball fight with the elves and it quickly gets out of control, the elves decide to invite them into the workshop to dry off and warm up. Inside, they see the elves making toys—baby dolls that say "mama," remote-control cars and trucks that zip and zigzag across the floor, and bicycles being polished to a high shine for Christmas morning. From around a corner, Catbaloo and Old Mrs. Moody watch Santa and Mrs. Claus make candy, and when Santa breaks into song—"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…"—they can hardly believe it! Come along on this fantastic North Pole adventure inside Santa's workshop! You'll have a lot of fun, but even better, your heart will be filled with the spirit of Christmas giving. What families will love about this episode: • A beautiful message of giving woven right into the fun • A fantastic adventure that stimulates imagination • A wonderful quiet-time listening experience—perfect for the Christmas season HO HO HO! Merry Christmas, everyone! /sbv © Old Mrs. Moody, LLC 2025 – All rights reserved

Episode #400 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth celebrate 400 mainline episodes of this concept and project that started in 2017 with our longest runtime yet for a single episode. And what better way to do so than with an idea that started a few years ago where, much like life, we have no idea what is coming next on the playlist. Besides hopefully finding some really cool things through the grace of the universe, the guys also reminisce on the past 400 episodes of BGMania, especially the last almost four years that Bedroth has been on the show. Crack one open this week and celebrate with us! Here's to many more episodes to come.

Ali, Mike, Beau, and Dave discuss the Falcons having bad special teams mistakes at the most inopportune times this season, including yesterday in their 27-24 loss to the New York Jets in New York, what Dave thought Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins did well yesterday versus the Jets, how much tougher Dave thinks Kirk Cousins' job is with Falcons top wide receiver Drake London out, and how the Falcons become a team that makes the big winning plays at the end of a game instead of being a team that doesn't make those plays. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closed out hour three by giving their final thoughts on the Falcons 27-24 loss to the New York Jets in New York, talk about how they think the Jets young offensive line did a good job of neutralizing the Falcons pass rush yesterday, and by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

In this episode, Cathy sits down with Martyn Stephen Williams — explorer, former Hindu monk, and founder of Antarctic expedition companies — to explore what it means to stretch the boundaries of human potential while cultivating inner peace. From leading expeditions to the North Pole, South Pole, and Mount Everest, to time spent meditating as a monk in India, Martyn shares how extreme physical challenges and contemplative practice shaped his approach to resilience, emotional intelligence, and purposeful living. The conversation dives into how mindset, perspective shifts, and simple daily rituals can enable profound personal transformation — not just for adventurers, but for anyone seeking balance, clarity, and strength. If you've ever wondered how adventure, spirituality, and coaching can merge into a powerful formula for well‑being and performance, this episode delivers. In this episode, you'll discover: How surviving and thriving in extreme environments teaches emotional resilience, inner calm, and presence — skills that translate directly into day‑to‑day life and work. Why shifting perception — even around mundane or stressful events (like traffic or a broken car) — can change how we respond, turning frustration into opportunity for growth. The powerful role of consistent practice — meditation, conscious breathing, movement, playful rituals — in developing mental clarity, intuition, and emotional balance. Insight on integrating adventure, spirituality, and modern coaching: meeting people where they are and helping them access their full potential through mindset and perspective shifts. Simple, actionable daily practices to boost resilience and calm: start your day with a smile or laughter; mix movement with playful rituals; cultivate gratitude, especially for challenges; reflect before sleep to allow deeper processing and insight. How better self‑awareness and communication (with oneself and others) can reduce burnout, improve relationships, and support long‑term health — physically, mentally, emotionally. Memorable Quotes: "It's our internal space that decides what we're going through." "Life is an adventure — what's the next step?" "If we go to be grateful for the difficult things … because it's the difficult things we learn." Bio: Martyn Stephen Williams was born in Liverpool, England on May 2, 1947. As a mountain and wilderness guide, he is the first person in the world to lead expeditions to the three extremes: South Pole (1989), North Pole (1992), and Everest (1991). He was the first to cross the continent of Antarctica under human power (1990). He founded Adventure Network International and later Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions — an Antarctic services company that has supported many of the record‑breaking expeditions in Antarctica over the past 40 years. He also founded the first airline on the continent, Antarctic Airlines. In 2000 he organized and led the Pole to Pole 2000 expedition — the first (and so far only) human‑powered journey from one pole to the other. As a public speaker and teacher, he has spoken about human potential on all seven continents and shares tools and techniques for enlightened living.

We discuss her early experiences with work and the first rejection thst left her reeling and questioning her path, and then her journey back to creativity, and her fascinating career path. Katie shares her innovative approach to handling rejection through a 'no thank yous' challenge, which not only desensitised her to rejection but also helped her create a pricing mindset that has transformed her business. We delve into those pricing strategies and how her mindset shifts have influenced her business decisions. Katie also talks about her community initiatives and the importance of being adaptable and willing to experiment in business.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik has a straight talking conversation with transformational leadership coach and extreme adventurer Martin Palethorpe. This is not another hype session about grinding harder. Martin breaks down why so many high achievers quietly burn out even while they look successful on LinkedIn. He explains how real peak performance starts with the mind. Not more strategy. From racing across deserts and trekking to the magnetic North Pole to recovering from a 300 foot skydive crash and rebuilding life after a long marriage, Martin shows how mental clarity, nervous system regulation and conscious leadership create sustainable performance. You will hear practical ways to step off the hamster wheel, cut through internal noise and use breath, presence and simple physical challenges as leadership training. If you are a founder, executive or driven professional searching for depth instead of just more output, this episode is built to land About The Guest: Martin Palethorpe is a transformational leadership coach, adventurer and conscious leadership guide. For more than 25 years he has coached senior executives and founders while testing human limits in extreme environments. He has raced across multiple deserts, trekked to the magnetic North Pole and survived a 300 foot skydive crash. Along the way he has left corporate life, moved through the end of a 20 year marriage and rebuilt his inner and outer world. Martin blends discipline with intuition, performance with presence and physical challenge with spiritual clarity. Through his Quality of Mind work he helps leaders access clarity on demand, regulate their nervous systems and lead from wisdom instead of fear and pressure. Key Takeaways  : Peak performance is less about pushing harder and more about removing the mental friction that blocks your existing capacity. The mind usually quits before the body. In extreme desert races, “escape gremlins” in the mind created stories to justify stopping while the body could continue. Obsessing over results and targets can damage performance. It fuels stress, burnout and illness rather than sustainable excellence. Most high achievers are driven by unexamined conditioning. Make more money. Move faster. Look successful. Without asking what any of that truly delivers. In a high pressure moment the simplest shift is to stop and breathe. Breathwork calms the nervous system so you can respond instead of react. You have to step off the hamster wheel. Retreats, quiet time and honest self inquiry are key to hearing deeper wisdom beneath autopilot thinking. Redefine failure. Playing full out means you will sometimes fall short. Protecting your image often costs you a fully lived life. Small physical challenges like cold water immersion expose how much suffering comes from the story in your mind rather than the situation itself. Real success is not about winning or status. It is about a healthy body, honest relationships, inner peace and meaningful impact.   How To Connect With Martin Palethorpe  : To explore Martin's retreats, coaching and Quality of Mind work.

Episode 233 - The Holiday Season is Coming - A Podcast for You to Share With Your Kids - The Daily Santa PodcastIn this episode of the Dad Space podcast, host Dave wraps up the intense Movember challenge of 30 episodes in 30 days, reflecting on the exhaustion and gratitude of pushing through daily conversations for dads worldwide. As Thanksgiving approaches in the US and holiday seasons begin globally, he pivots to a festive family recommendation: his kid-focused Daily Santa Podcast, launching December 1st with 25 daily episodes counting down to Christmas like an audio advent calendar—minus the chocolate. Even for non-Santa households, the show's underlying storyline emphasizes becoming better humans through lessons on kindness, sibling harmony, neighborly love, and personal growth under Santa's watchful eye, perfect for bedtime listening or daytime play.Dave pulls back the curtain on the chaotic creation process, revealing how each episode is crafted live on the day it's due, juggling dozens of tracks for sound effects, music, and voices—from the announcer and weather reporters to live North Pole street updates and recurring jokes that build a connected narrative across the series. Standouts include Santa's social media-savvy elf Selfie, who snaps endless selfies, causes hilarious mayhem, and stars in blooper reels at every episode's end, earning fans like Dave's wife and even coworkers sneaking listens at the office. Listeners worldwide, including US and Canadian military stationed overseas, have shared how it feels like a taste of home, with bonus perks like Dave's wife's favorite Christmas cookie recipe available for download on DailySantaPodcast.com, plus early previews on YouTube.The episode closes on an intimate note, transitioning from holiday cheer to a raw monologue addressing male loneliness as a silent epidemic. Dave speaks directly to men carrying unseen burdens—tired yet unrelenting, strong yet human—urging them to break the silence by reaching out via email, voice message, or calls for help, affirming that real strength lies in honesty and that every dad's presence matters deeply to family, friends, and the world.Key Takeaway: Amid holiday hustle and personal struggles, prioritize connection—share festive podcasts with your kids to build better family habits, and remember to check in on fellow dads, because asking for or offering support turns isolation into strength.

"The Little Season" refers to a brief period mentioned in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 20:3, 7-8) after Satan is released from his imprisonment for 1,000 years. During this time, he will deceive the nations for a final time before being defeated and cast into the lake of fire. Interpretations vary, with some believing this season is a future event, while others, known as preterists, suggest it has already occurred, possibly tied to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. A fringe interpretation, sometimes linked to conspiracy theories, suggests that our current history is a deception orchestrated by Satan during this "Little Season," with ancient architecture being evidence of a past, hidden reign of Christ.  In the final episode in Joel's Little Season Conspiracy series, he gets into the nitty gritty of the hidden empire of Tartaria and how it has now been connected to Jesus Millennial Reign. He looks at the idea of 12-foot light beings are hiding out in the North Pole with Jesus as a part of the “Camp of Saints”. Lastly, he looks at mysterious hagiography documents said to have been extracted from the Vatican using AI that prove the Millennial Reign of Christ has already happened and we are now trapped in Satan's Little Season Books Refuting the Little Season: Ed Mabrie - "The Little Season of Satan: Hidden History, or Hidden Agenda: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Season-Satan-Hidden-History-ebook/dp/B0FBQWGRJM Traci Lebens - “Extensive use made of Jesus Keeps His Word by Traci J.

Ever wondered why planes often fly over the North Pole but almost never cross the South Pole? It all comes down to logistics, safety, and practicality. The North Pole is surrounded by land and has plenty of emergency landing spots, while Antarctica is a frozen, isolated wasteland with almost no airports. Plus, airline routes are based on where people actually travel, and there's just not much demand for flights over the South Pole. Extreme cold and strong magnetic interference also make navigation tricky down there. So while flying over the Arctic is common, the Antarctic skies remain mostly empty!

In July 2024 at 90° N my acoustic equipment slid into a hole 15 cm in diameter that our team had drilled into the sea ice. Midnight sun tossed shadows at the fog, slowing the wind just enough. My fingers trembled, but not from the frigid temperatures. I couldn't imagine what I might hear here, beneath the ice floes at the top of the world. Science aside for a moment; icy droplets blurred white and blue ice, and my headphones hung in my hand at my side. Awe and wonder gratefully stole time.  The underwater radiated noise (URN) emanating from the icebreaker that brought me to this place dominated the acoustic symphony for only a few seconds before geological and biological signals took centre stage and I listened to the otherworldly sounds of animals that make their homes below and on the crackling ice at the top of the world. As I listened, I wondered how life here was dealing with rising temperatures, with thinning ice ... with way too many melt ponds. Recorded by Andrea Lynn.

"Inspired by the description of the experience by the collector of these sounds, Andrea Lynn, I explored this recording of a cold, mysterious place inhospitable to humans, yet home to arctic aquatic creatures who rely on the ice above.  "The original soundscape is highlighted throughout with frequency filtering only, and I created sparse added textures of echoing single lines of piano and nebulous vocals: alone, yet not alone."  North Pole ice recording reimagined by Heather Spence.

Peter Hillary's father, Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first person to climb Mt. Everest. Mark Armstrong's father, Neil Armstrong, was the first person to walk on the moon. Now, the two sons of iconic explorers are going on an adventure together to the North Pole. A new film documents this journey, and a parallel journey their fathers took together in 1985. The working title of the documentary is North Pole '85, and was produced by an Icelandic film crew.

On this Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by legendary explorer and bestselling author, Erling Kagge. Erling was the first explorer in history to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the summit of Mt. Everest on foot. He was also the first to walk alone to the South Pole, and the lessons he learned along the way about silence and the meaning of life are invaluable. He sat down with Willy at the Sun Valley Writers' Conference to discuss his latest book, After the North Pole: A Story of Survival, Mythmaking, and Melting Ice . Their conversation explores the value of presence, the drive behind human adventure, the importance of gratitude, and what Erling sees as the secret to a happy life. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1897, a Swedish engineer set out to reach the North Pole ... by balloon. With two companions, a crate of champagne, and the faith of a nation, he rose into the Arctic fog — and vanished. Decades later, their frozen journals and undeveloped film emerged from the ice, revealing the haunting truth behind one of exploration’s great mysteries. * Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, and Jason EnglishWritten by Marisa Brown and Mac MontandonSenior Producer is Josh FisherStory Editor is Marisa BrownEditing and Sound Design by Chris ChildsAdditional Editing by Mary DooeMixing and Mastering by Baheed FrazierOriginal Music by Elise McCoyResearch and Fact-Checking by Marisa Brown and Austin ThompsonShow Logo by Lucy QuintanillaSocial Clips by Yarberry MediaSpecial thanks to our voice actors Tom Antonellis, Chris Childs, and Josh FisherExecutive Producer is Jason English You can email the show at veryspecialepisodes@gmail.com.
