Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast ahead of the Premier League Play-Offs. The boys kick off the show with a look back ahead to Premier League finals night at The O2, and discuss which of the four players left a title would be the most important for, as well as making their own predictions for who wins the trophy. Wessel Nijman (18:31) joins the show to reflect on an impressive 2026 season so far, winning five Players Championship titles and a first European Tour event. The Dutchman chats about his year to date, including that eye-catching final day run in Gottingen, his thoughts on a future Premier League call up, what it means to be ProTour #1, his special friendship with Darryl Fitton, epic nine-dart leg attempts in practice with Michael van Gerwen and Niels Zonneveld, and his goals for the rest of the season. The boys recap the latest European Tour action in Riesa from the weekend, which saw Ross Smith claim his maiden European Tour title, beating Ryan Searle 8-3 in the final of the International Darts Open. Joshua Balfour and James Walklin (41:16) call in ahead of representing Trinidad & Tobago in the PDC World Cup of Darts next month. The history-making duo look back on their successful run in the CDLC World Cup qualifier, beating last year's winners Argentina and the Bahamas en route to securing their country a first-ever appearance in the PDC World Cup. Joshua and James also talk about how they first got into darts and what the darts scene is like in Trinidad & Tobago. Alex and Burton wrap up the show with a look at the race to the World Matchplay, with former champion Rob Cross climbing into the spots after back-to-back European Tour semi-finals, and look at which players could be playing at the theatre of darts this summer.

In this episode, we dive deep into the historical and psychological drivers of political polarization with Dr. Allison Ralph, head of Cohesion Strategy.Allison shares how ancient metaphors, like the "body politic," are still being used today to justify othering and the dangerous trend of social purification. We move beyond the idea of "mushy middle" dialogue to discuss productive conflict—the essential, often difficult work of building pluralistic solutions and strategic coalitions even when we fundamentally disagree.If you've ever felt that bridging divides feels like a "kumbaya" fantasy, this conversation is for you. We explore why action-based bridging and collective action are the most powerful tools we have for increasing community trust and protecting our democracy.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Parťák sa vždy hodí. Špeciálne, ak sa chcete naučiť nové veci – a tých nových vecí vo svete zúriacej technologickej revolúcie by sme každý deň našli hneď niekoľko. Väčšina z nás sa vtedy zrejme zľakne. No nezľakol sa spisovateľ a dnes už aj – to naozaj – tiktokový influencer Daniel Hevier. Založil si účet na sociálnej sieti a dnes tisícom až státisícom zväčša mladých ľudí ukazuje, prečo literatúra aj vzdelanie majú miesto v životoch generácie Z. Nebol na to sám, mal pomoc. A nebál sa o ňu požiadať. Tomáš Prokopčák sa v špeciálnom vydaní podcastu Dobré ráno rozpráva s Danielom Hevierom. Partnerom epizódy je O2, ktoré chce ľuďom dodávať odvahu skúšať nové veci v digitálnom svete - a byť im parťákom pri používaní nových technológií v každodennom živote. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Esta vez nos subimos al vuelo 815 de Oceanic para regresar a una de las series más importantes, adictivas y comentadas de todos los tiempos.

Chris Mason didn't hold back in this interview, branding the current format "boring" and calling for a major shake-up. With the 2026 line-up already causing massive debate and the need for more players "I'm just done with seeing the same players duking it out every week.I'm bored with the whole concept"We want to hear from you:1️⃣ Is the Premier League format actually "boring" now?2️⃣ If you could change ONE thing about the tournament, what would it be?
We're joined by podcast kings and internet favourites James & Fuhad from ShxtsNGigs. From meeting at uni in Coventry and nearly becoming male escorts for money, to working as naked butlers and building one of the biggest podcasts in the world, the boys reveal stories they probably should've kept to themselves… We get into everything from outrageous tweets and relationship red flags, to hangxiety, workplace flirting and why men absolutely cannot handle women making the first move. The boys also spill on touring the world, selling out the O2, terrifying fan encounters, homemade merch, Japan chaos and the reality of internet fame, before diving into hot takes on slow walkers, football fans crying, gym culture and why workplace boyfriends should never be trusted. Funny, chaotic and full of completely unserious opinions, this feels exactly like overhearing two boys chatting absolute rubbish in the pub… and somehow learning something along the way. Podcast Description: Welcome to Olivia's House - Olivia Attwood's stylish, intimate podcast blends sharp humour with unfiltered, heartfelt conversation. From New York to London, Olivia invites bold guests to explore love, fame, family, and everything in between- no topic is off-limits.

Corey Nathan joins the show to deconstruct the "Rage Merchant" business model and explore how we can strengthen our civic muscle in an era of hyper-polarization. Corey is the host of Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killing Each Other and a partner in The Democracy Group podcast network.In this conversation, we move past the surface-level bickering of the news cycle to examine why our brains are often more attracted to the dopamine hit of outrage than the slow work of nuance. We discuss the "Exhausted Majority"—the vast segment of the population that feels alienated by extreme rhetoric—and offer tactical ways to navigate difficult conversations by focusing on curiosity rather than conflict.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Zpívat v Metropolitní opeře v New Yorku je pro mnohé vrchol kariéry, ale někdy se tenhle sen změní v grotesku se zamčenými dveřmi přímo uprostřed scény. Adam Plachetka přijal pozvání do talkshow Koťák Live a barvitě popsal moment, kdy musel obíhat celé jeviště a skákat mezerou ve zdi, aby stihl svou roli ve Figarově svatbě. Věděli jste, že operní fanoušci ve Vídni jsou natolik neúprosní, že na zpěváky čekají u východu a jízlivě je opravují kvůli každému sebemenšímu detailu? Během rozhovoru na naší žluté sedačce Adam s humorem zavzpomínal i na své začátky a vysvětlil, proč se mu v operních kruzích díky jeho pivnímu splavu přezdívalo Pivarotti.
For this episode we're joined all the way from San Francisco by Barry Walters to discuss his new history of LGBTQ music. And in our first recording since the retirement of Mark Pringle, William Pike becomes an official co-host of the RBP podcast... Barry reflects on his upbringing in Rochester, N.Y., his move to New York City, and his early writing for the Village Voice. We then hear about his years as pop critic for the San Francisco Examiner and the inspiration of gay disco icon Sylvester. Along the way our guest touches on some of the other artists he writes about in Mighty Real, including the Village People, k.d. lang and Grace Jones. We hear clips from Richard Cook's 1985 audio interview with the amazing Grace and discuss her unique contribution to LGBTQ culture. After William mentions a recently-added library piece about Ray Davies (1977), prompting a discussion of the Kinks' watershed hit 'Lola', Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on Kylie Minogue (2011) and his deep reverence for Spanish superstar Rosalía (from whose O2 show the previous evening he is still reeling...). Many thanks to special guest Barry Walters. Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969–2000 is published by Viking and available now from all good bookshops. Visit Barry's website at barrywalterswriter.com. Pieces discussed: Grace Jones audio interview (1985), Ray Davies live at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Kylie Minogue: The Albums 2000–2010 and Rosalía: Lux.

In this episode, we step back from the headlines to conduct a psychological case study on how we form and protect our worldviews. We're joined by Sidney Pines, whose journey away from the mainstream consensus offers a window into the information ecosystems that define our modern era.Rather than debating specific claims, we use the "Three Cs" framework—Comprehension, Control, and Community—to analyze the universal human needs that draw individuals toward alternative media systems. We explore how a "cognitive vacuum" created by sensationalist media can lead to a search for certainty, often filled by grand narratives that trade messy realities for clear, singular explanations.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

On this week's episode, we're joined by Myles Smith… and things get awkward when we expose the fact that Sam has been fully GHOSTING him
Už skoro měsíc má Radiožurnál nového moderátora - letitou tvář veřejnoprávního rozhlasu Lucii Výbornou totiž v pořadu Host Radiožurnálu vystřídal populární televizní moderátor Libor Bouček. „Je to za odměnu,“ říká.Když začátkem února oznámila Lucie Výborná, že po dvaceti letech končí v Českém rozhlase, vypadalo to, že veřejnoprávní médium bude jen těžko shánět adekvátní náhradu. Jenže omyl - už po pár týdnech oznámili, že pořad Host Radiožurnálu bude moderovat zkušený, ostřílený a známý Libor Bouček.„Radiožurnál považuji za výkladní skříň toho klenotu jménem Český rozhlas. Host Radiožurnálu si za ty dvě dekády díky Lucii a díky Honzovi (Jan Pokorný, pozn.red.) vybudoval jistou svébytnost. Přijde ti na hodinu vnučka Tomáše Bati a ty máš možnost si s ní povídat, což je pro člověka, kterého zajímá svět kolem, za odměnu,“ popisuje Libor Bouček, který byl host posledního dílu podcastu Mediální cirkus.„Dneska tam byl hodinu Mojmír Hampl a já jsem předstíral, že se vyznám v ekonomii. Je to fakt pestré a člověk se cítí strašně svobodně, protože není pod bezprostředním tlakem čísel a nepotřebuje jenom člověka, který má pozornost na sociálních sítích. Můžeš si povídat s někým, kdo něco dělá s láskou a přijde ti zajímavý. Vlastně mi to připomíná podobnou míru svobody, jako mám v Inkognitu,“ popisuje moderátor.Přemrštěná příprava škodíLibor Bouček je tváří především televizní skupiny Prima. Moderuje pořad Inkognito a show Máme rádi Česko. Po startu zpravodajské stanice CNN Prima News byl moderátorem ranního vysílání Nový den, z něj se ale už stáhl. Později se objevoval ve zpravodajských speciálech po významných volbách, ani tomu už se ale nevěnuje.„Příprava na rozhovory v Rozhlase je náročná. Včera jsem nevysílal a chystal jsem se tak, že jsem měl hodinu a půl volna na konferenci jednoho mobilního operátora. Tam jsem si prošel, jakým způsobem na to jít a co bych vlastně od Mojmíra Hampla chtěl slyšet. Před usnutím jsem si prolítl základní věci. A dneska jsem si dal ještě refresh ráno, když jsem parkoval před Rozhlasem, nějakých pětadvacet minut. Takže to jde,“ vypráví moderátor, který je pověstný svým extrémním pracovním vytížením. A pokračuje:„Myslím, že moderátor by neměl přicházet s přemrštěnou přípravou, protože pak může působit přechytralý.“Libor Bouček byl dlouho i radiovým moderátorem. Moderoval na Evropě 2 nebo na Frekvenci 1. Mezi hvězdy moderátorského showbyznysu ho vystřelila reality show Vyvolení. Věnuje se i dabingu, moderuje konference a velké sportovní akce. Naposledy třeba mistrovství světa v krasobruslení v Praze.„Reality show už nedělám, nejsem starý, ale tohle už patří mladší generaci. Doma jsem v Inkognitu, které je pravidelnější než Máme rádi Česko. Ale jak říkám, mě baví zprostředkovávat emoce,“ vykrucuje se z otázky, co nejraději dělá.Bouček všechny své aktivity několik let díky CNN Prima News propojoval i s novinařinou. Kromě ranních vysílání moderoval speciály k českým sněmovním volbám, volbám amerického, českého či slovenského prezidenta.„Žánry to jsou odlišné, ale ten řemeslný přístup je velmi podobný jako k hokeji v O2 aréně. Musíš pochopit, pro koho vysíláš, projdeš si, co jsou highlighty, které dokáží vzbudit emoci. Zároveň musíš být u prezidentského speciálu neutrální a být spíš pozorovatel,“ popisuje Bouček své pojetí moderátorského řemesla.Co Libora Boučka nejvíc baví? Co by chtěl ještě dělat? A byl by ochotný stát se tváří Českého rozhlasu v boji za zachování koncesionářských poplatků?--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

The New Counterculture of ConversationIn a world where political labels have become shields and social media is a minefield of "rhetorical grenades," Monica Guzman argues that the most radical act you can perform is to stay curious. As the Senior Fellow for Public Practice at Braver Angels, Monica has seen firsthand how fear has become the "archvillain" of American discourse.In this episode, we dismantle the failing left-right paradigm and explore why bridge-building isn't about being "nice" or "middle-of-the-road"—it's about having the courage to withstand intense disagreement without losing your convictions.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

We are joined by Dr. Caleb Scharf, NASA Senior Scientist for Astrobiology, to explore the profound implications of the Fermi Paradox. Why, in a galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, do we find only silence? We move beyond the "geek wonderland" of physics and biology to examine the "Overview Effect"—the shift in perspective that occurs when we realize just how fragile our shared existence truly is.If humanity is the first species to face the conundrum of its own survival, we have a unique moral responsibility to look past the outrage of the day and safeguard the future of life on Earth.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 63 MIN. JEN NA HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR A HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Pojedu, dokud nezjistím, že už to nejde,“ říká Helena Vondráčková, když mluví o své kariéře, která trvá desítky let a stále nekončí. Připravuje velký koncert k osmdesátinám v pražské O2 areně a přiznává, že „není návratu“ - lístky už jsou prodané a tlak podle jejích slov člověka motivuje, aby něco dělal. Stále koncertuje, plánuje nové písně a překvapuje ji, kolik mladých lidí zná její hity zpaměti. „Viděla jsem, jak zpívají a umí moje texty,“ říká o vystoupení, které ji dojalo. Mluví o tom, že ji drží v kondici neustálá aktivita a optimismus. „Neusnout na vavřínech, nesedět u televize v bačkorách,“ popisuje svůj přístup k životu, ve kterém hraje roli sport, práce i péče o sebe. Zároveň přiznává, že je neposedný člověk, který neumí zastavit a s nadsázkou dodává, že ADHD je její značka. Vzpomíná na dětství plné sportu a hudby, na otce, který v ní rozpoznal talent, i na moment, kdy vyhrála soutěž Hledáme nové zpěváky a odstartovala kariéru, která ji zavedla na světová pódia. Otevřeně mluví i o věcech, které se nepovedly. O nenaplněném přání mít děti říká: „Nikdy člověk nemůže mít všechno,“ tvrdí a připomíná slova Heleny Růžičkové, že jejím úkolem je zpívat. Přiznává také složitý vztah s bratrem, který se rozpadl kvůli jejímu manželství a dodává, že i po letech má „napřaženou ruku“, i když některé věci se zapomínají těžko. Vrací se i k minulosti poznamenané režimem, který jí podle jejích slov znemožnil větší zahraniční kariéru. „Byla to arogance vůči té nabídce,“ popisuje zmařené turné v Kanadě. Mluví ale i o obviněních, která se s ní táhla roky - od fám o vztahu s Lubomírem Štrougalem až po tvrzení, že podepsala Antichartu, což označuje za lež, kterou nakonec vyvrátil soud. Zároveň odmítá spojování s politikou a říká, že jejím úkolem vždy bylo zpívat a držet se stranou. A dnes si Vondráčková přeje jediné - aby po ní zůstal hudební odkaz a aby si ji lidé pamatovali jako férového člověka. „Snažím se nikdy nikomu neublížit,“ dodává. Co ji žene dál i po desítkách let na scéně? Jak se vyrovnává s křivdami minulosti a proč se stále vyhýbá politice? A co by ji skutečně přimělo přestat? Poslechněte si celý rozhovor.

La isla de Irlanda ha estado marcada por un conflicto que va más allá de lo político, dejando un proceso de paz admirado por muchos pero con heridas aún sin cicatrizar. Irlanda del Norte ha sido el escenario de uno de los conflictos más sangrientos de Europa tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una disputa identitaria entre nacionalistas irlandeses y unionistas británicos que durante décadas desencadenó una violencia sectaria sin precedentes, conocida como The Troubles. En este episodio, explicamos los orígenes de este conflicto, el papel del IRA y los paramilitares unionistas, y cómo se llegó al histórico Acuerdo de Viernes Santo de 1998. También analizamos cómo el brexit reabrió viejas heridas y qué nos dicen los cambios demográficos sobre el futuro de la región: ¿veremos la reunificación de Irlanda? Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos del conflicto de Irlanda del Norte.

Další speciál 111 vznikl přímo po tiskovce Makro Czech Gastro Festu – a tentokrát s generálním ředitelem Makro, Jiří Nehasil. Bylo strašně zajímavé nahlédnout do velkých dat české gastronomie – co funguje, co stagnuje a co naopak překvapivě roste. Řešili jsme i vliv zahraničních hodnocení a celkově to, jak se zvedá úroveň české gastro scény. A samozřejmě jsme pozvali i na samotný Makro Czech Gastro Fest, který proběhne 10. a 11. dubna v O2 universu. Já pro vás budu mít navíc brzy soutěž o čtyřikrát dva lístky, tak to určitě sledujte. A pokud dorazíte, nenechte si ujít Makro Forum – povedu tam šest svižných panelových diskuzí, vždy se třemi hosty na kousavá témata českého gastra.
After seven years working in traditional, formal "bridge-building" spaces, K Scarry realized that the people who most needed to connect were the ones least likely to attend a scheduled "dialogue event." Her solution? Move the conversation to where people already go naturally.In this episode, K Scarry joins David to discuss her journey from civic engagement professional to neighborhood bar owner. We explore how "Third Spaces" serve as essential training grounds for civic grace, the "musculature" of empathy, and the challenge of maintaining your values while staying open to those you disagree with.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

La disolución de la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas constituye uno de los acontecimientos más trascendentales del siglo XX, comparable en magnitud a las dos guerras mundiales o a la Revolución bolchevique que dio origen al propio Estado soviético en 1917. En apenas seis años, entre 1985 y 1991, un imperio que se extendía desde el Báltico hasta el Pacífico y que había mantenido en vilo al mundo entero durante las más de cuatro décadas de Guerra Fría se desmoronó sin que mediase una guerra convencional, una invasión exterior o una revolución. Lo que hubo fue algo más complejo: una combinación de reformas mal calculadas, presiones económicas insostenibles, el despertar de nacionalismos largo tiempo reprimidos y una élite dirigente que había perdido la fe en su propio proyecto. Todo comenzó con la llegada de Mijaíl Gorbachov al poder en marzo de 1985. Gorbachov era un hombre joven para los estándares del Kremlin, enérgico y convencido de que el sistema soviético podía reformarse desde dentro sin necesidad de abandonar el socialismo. Sus dos grandes programas, la perestroika y la glasnost, pretendían modernizar la economía y abrir un espacio de transparencia informativa. Lo que Gorbachov no previó fue que ambas reformas, lejos de fortalecer al Estado, terminarían por acabar con él. El proceso no fue uniforme ni predecible. Las repúblicas bálticas (Estonia, Letonia y Lituania) fueron las primeras en independizarse. En el Cáucaso, la violencia étnica entre armenios y azeríes preludió que la coexistencia de los tiempos de la URSS saltaría por los aires. Moldavia, Ucrania y Bielorrusia siguieron caminos más lentos pero igualmente irreversibles. En Asia Central, las tensiones adoptaron formas distintas, se produjeron algunos enfrentamientos étnicos y la clase dirigente de la época soviética sobrevivió cambiando de chaqueta. Las huelgas de los mineros del Donbás y de Siberia en 1989 pusieron de manifiesto que el descontento no se limitaba a las periferias nacionales, sino que había calado también en el corazón de la clase obrera rusa, aquella que supuestamente era la base del régimen. La crisis alcanzó su punto de no retorno en 1991. Boris Yeltsin, elegido presidente de la Federación Rusa, se convirtió en el principal rival interno de Gorbachov. El intento de golpe de Estado de agosto de 1991, protagonizado por un grupo de inmovilistas del Partido y de su aparato de seguridad, terminó en un fracaso estrepitoso que aceleró el proceso de disolución. Tras el golpe fallido, las repúblicas soviéticas declararon su independencia una tras otra, como fichas de dominó cayendo sobre un tablero que ya nadie controlaba. El 25 de diciembre de 1991, Gorbachov dimitió como presidente de la URSS y la bandera roja con la hoz y el martillo fue arriada del Kremlin por última vez. La Unión Soviética había dejado de existir. Las consecuencias fueron enormes y perduran hasta hoy. Económicamente, la transición resultó caótica y dolorosa. Los conflictos postsoviéticos (desde Chechenia hasta Transnistria pasando por Nagorno-Karabaj y Georgia) se mantuvieron encendidos durante décadas y aún no han terminado del todo. La historiografía ha debatido extensamente las causas de la caída. Unos insisten en el peso de los factores estructurales, otros señalan las decisiones personales de Gorbachov, y no faltan quienes apuntan al papel decisivo de la presión internacional y la carrera armamentística. Lo cierto es que la disolución de la URSS cambió el mapa del mundo y sus efectos siguen configurando la geopolítica del siglo XXI.

En un mundo sacudido por la incertidumbre, China emerge como una alternativa al liderazgo estadounidense, pero ¿tiene los medios para construir un nuevo orden a su imagen? Mientras Donald Trump apuesta por el unilateralismo y el desacople, líderes de todo el mundo aterrizan en Pekín en busca de un plan B. ¿Aspira China a liderar el nuevo orden internacional? ¿Posee realmente las capacidades para hacerlo? ¿Y qué significaría para el resto del mundo un sistema liderado por Pekín? Fernando Arancón y Blas Moreno analizan estas preguntas junto a Claudio Feijoo, ingeniero, economista y experto en China, autor de varios libros sobre el gigante asiático y con experiencia viviendo en el país. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos del orden chino. Libros: El gran sueño de China.

Vivimos en una era automovilística marcada por la eficiencia extrema, la reducción de costes y la complejidad electrónica. Nos hemos acostumbrado a los motores tricilíndricos de un litro, bloques de aluminio con paredes finas como papel de fumar y turbos que exprimen hasta el último caballo de potencia a costa de la longevidad. En este episodio contamos con el apoyo de O2. Tienes más información sobre todo lo que ofrecen en: https://o2online.es/ Sin embargo, hubo un tiempo en que la palabra "obsolescencia" no figuraba en los diccionarios de ingeniería. Hubo una época en la que los motores se diseñaban para sobrevivir a sus dueños. 1. Chrysler "Slant Six" 225 (1959 - 2000) En 1959, mientras Detroit se obsesionaba con los V8, Chrysler perfeccionaba su seis cilindros en línea. Su nombre proviene de su inclinación de 30 grados, una decisión que permitió capós más bajos y colectores de admisión mucho más eficientes. 2. Peugeot-Indenor XD (1959 - 1992) Este diésel es la leyenda que motorizó África. Es común ver unidades en el Sáhara que, pese al estado estético del vehículo, mantienen un ciclo de combustión perfecto. 3. Volvo B18-B20 (1961 - 1975) Este motor ostenta el récord Guinness de kilometraje (más de 5 millones de km en un P1800). Volvo priorizó la solidez estructural sobre la potencia bruta. 4. Ford 300 Inline Six (1965 - 1996) Considerado por muchos como el mejor motor de Detroit, este 4.9 litros es un tractor civilizado para camionetas. 5. BMW M30 (1968 - 1994) El "Gran Seis" demostró que la fiabilidad no está reñida con el lujo. Fue la base que cimentó la reputación de la marca bávara. 6. Mercedes-Benz OM617 (1974 - 1991) El patriarca del club. Este cinco cilindros diésel es el responsable de la fama de los Mercedes W123, los taxis que parecen no morir jamás. 7. Toyota Serie 22R/RE (1981 - 1997) El corazón de la Hilux. Este motor sobrevivió a las pruebas de Top Gear (incluyendo el desplome de un edificio) por una razón técnica clara: simplicidad masiva. 8. Cummins 6BT 5.9 (1984 - 2007) Más que un motor de camioneta, es una pieza de maquinaria pesada. Montado en las Dodge RAM, es el favorito de los que remolcan cargas extremas. 9. Nissan TD42 (1987 - 2007) El "Diésel Negro" australiano. Es el motor de elección para quienes cruzan desiertos donde una avería es una sentencia de muerte. 10. Volkswagen 1.9 TDI (1991 - 2010) El último de los mohicanos antes de las restrictivas normas Euro. Es el equilibrio perfecto entre eficiencia moderna y robustez antigua. Conclusión ¿Qué lección nos dejan estas diez leyendas? Que la verdadera fiabilidad nace de la sencillez y del respeto por las leyes de la física. Cuando no se exige al metal trabajar cerca de su punto de fatiga o de su límite térmico, la mecánica se vuelve inmortal.
Todos sabemos dónde está el golfo Pérsico, un mar semicerrado en Oriente Medio entre Irán al norte y una serie de emiratos árabes al sur. Su rasgo más distintivo es el estrecho de Ormuz, un paso de apenas 50 kilómetros que constituye la única salida al océano. Por su ubicación geográfica y, más recientemente, por sus recursos naturales siempre ha sido una zona de gran importancia estratégica. Sus aguas son poco profundas, extremadamente cálidas y muy saladas, condiciones que favorecieron la pesca de perlas, principal fuente de riqueza de sus comunidades costeras durante siglos. Desde la antigüedad, el golfo fue ruta esencial del comercio entre Mesopotamia, la India y África. Los portugueses llegaron a principios del siglo XVI buscando controlar ese mismo tráfico. Alfonso de Albuquerque conquistó Ormuz en 1515 y estableció una red de fortalezas costeras, algunas importantes como las de Mascate y Baréin. Pero Portugal era un pequeño reino que no podía mantener un imperio tan disperso. En 1622 una alianza entre el sha persa Abbás I y la Compañía Inglesa de las Indias Orientales expulsó a los portugueses de Ormuz. A a mediados del siglo XVII habían perdido ya todas sus factorías en el golfo. Los otomanos también intentaron proyectar su poder desde Basora, pero nunca lograron contar con presencia naval ya que su centro de gravedad era el Mediterráneo, no el Índico. El verdadero rival de los otomanos fue siempre la Persia safávida, con quien se disputaron fronteras e influencia durante más de dos siglos. A lo largo del siglo XVII ingleses y holandeses compitieron por los mercados del Pérsico, aunque los holandeses se retiraron pronto ya que sus posesiones en el sudeste asiático eran mucho más rentables. En el siglo XIX el Reino Unido se convirtió en la potencia hegemónica indiscutible. Mediante tratados de protección con los jeques locales, la Royal Navy transformó el golfo Pérsico en un lago británico: Kuwait, Baréin, Catar y los Estados de la Tregua (lo que hoy son los Emiratos Árabes Unidos) quedaron bajo su tutela. Estos acuerdos, que congelaron fronteras y legitimaron ciertas dinastías, sentaron las bases de los Estados que hoy conocemos. El verdadero punto de inflexión llegó con el petróleo. Tras el primer gran descubrimiento en Persia en 1908, los hallazgos se sucedieron por todos los territorios ribereños: Irak, Baréin, Arabia Saudita, Kuwait, Catar y los Emiratos. Pequeñas comunidades que vivían de las perlas y los dátiles se convirtieron en las más ricas del mundo. La fundación de la OPEP en 1960 y las nacionalizaciones de los años 70 trasladaron el control del crudo a los Estados productores. El embargo de 1973 reveló al mundo entero el enorme poder que esa riqueza les confería. Cuando los británicos se retiraron en 1971, Estados Unidos asumió el papel de garante de la seguridad local, algo que no ha abandonado desde entonces. Las últimas décadas han traído guerras y una gran transformación económica. Ciudades como Dubái o Doha son hoy prósperas metrópolis. La población de sus costas ha pasado de unos 700.000 habitantes a principios del siglo pasado a los 40 millones de la actualidad. El golfo Pérsico sigue siendo una zona en tensión permanente. El estrecho de Ormuz es su talón de Aquiles y el petróleo su razón de ser. Eso sí, todos los Estados que comparten sus costas saben que esa fuente de riqueza tiene fecha de caducidad.

This week Sidey, Dan, and Cris fly solo — Simon's been called to Southampton on urgent business (he was spotted in a pub surrounded by tea cups, so make of that what you will). The dads are reviewing Ballad of a Small Player (2024), the new Netflix film from Edward Berger — the director behind All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave — starring a very much on-form Colin Farrell. The Film: Colin Farrell plays Lord Doyle, a dissolute British gambler drowning in debt in the casinos of Macau — and if you thought Vegas was the gambling capital of the world, think again. Doyle owes 352,000 Hong Kong dollars to the house, is blagging his way past the front desk in a crumpled cravat, and somehow still looks magnificent. He falls in with a mysterious young woman at the Baccarat tables, and from there the film slides into gorgeous, ambiguous territory — is she real? Is any of this? And does it even matter when the rush of the bet is the only thing that feels true? Themes of addiction, redemption, obsession, and the question of whether you can ever really stop — all wrapped in the stylised, sun-drenched visual language of Macau's casino underworld. The lads give it two words each: "All in" (Dan), "Bizarre but funny" (Cris), and "Strong recommend" (Sidey). Consensus: go watch it. Top Five: Gardens The boys dig into their favourite cinematic, televisual, musical, and gaming gardens. From the gnome in Amélie and David Lynch's suburban lawn horror in Blue Velvet, to the brutal communal fields of Midsommar, Spirited Away's otherworldly beauty, and the garden in Saltburn that had certain members of the pod seeing quite a lot of a particular actor. Wonka's chocolate garden gets a nod, as does Miss Peregrine's hedge-portal to another time. Sidey & Reegs are also going to see Wu-Tang Clan at the O2. Protect ya neck.

Is the "move to the center" vs. "lean left" debate a false choice?Following recent election cycles, the dominant advice for Democrats has been to moderate their cultural messaging and pivot to the middle—a strategy championed by the October 2025 Deciding to Win report. Conversely, many argue the party should double down on a bold, progressive populist agenda to mobilize the base.In this episode, we challenge this entire left-versus-center framework with Frank A. Spring, Chief of Research at Altum Insight and Managing Partner at Undaunted Ventures.Through deep qualitative research, Frank discovered that voters are "politically heterodox"—they don't fit into the neat ideological boxes we've built for them. We explore why the real crisis isn't "ideological excess," but "narrative confusion." Voters might know the party is "for diversity," but they often don't know what a Democratic vision of governance actually feels like for their daily lives.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Iran has a new Supreme Leader, the hard-line cleric, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has succeeded his father who was killed on the first day of the US-Israeli war against Iran. This morning, Iran's woman's football team are facing building pressure as they prepare to leave Australia's Gold Coast after being eliminated from the Asian Cup on Sunday. Fears for their safety has been growing since they failed to sing the national anthem ahead of their first match against South Korea last week. The decision prompted fierce criticism within Iran and in subsequent matches the players sung, or at least mouthed, the anthem's words. Katy Watson, the BBC's Sydney correspondent, is on the Gold Coast where the tournament is being held and talks to Nuala McGovern about what's been happening. There has been a surge of understanding about the menopause and we are better informed on many aspects. However three quarters of women surveyed for a YouGov poll do not know that a new mental illness can be triggered by the hormonal changes associated with the menopause. Those figures come from a YouGov poll commissioned by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The College wants to raise awareness about mental health and menopause and the implications for clinical practice. To tell us more about why this was needed now, Nuala is joined by Dr Lade Smith, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Do you have a "hassler" in your life? If so, they could be making you age faster. That's according to new research funded by the US National Institute of Aging. A third of all respondents in the study said they had at least one hassler in their life - that is someone who is creating problems and making your life harder. The study also shows that the impact on your health is worse if they are a family member. Psychotherapist and writer Lucy Cavendish explains how to deal with that difficult person in your life.The singer/songwriter Katherine Priddy played her first gig at the O2 and has since performed at the BBC Proms, and at festivals such as Glastonbury, Green Man and Cambridge Folk, where she was awarded the Christian Raphael Prize for best emerging artist. Katherine tells Nuala about her newly released third album, These Frightening Machines, and performs her track Madeline. Why do some women who commit crimes come to be seen as a definition of evil? The Moors murderer Myra Hindley became an enduring symbol of female wickedness but she is not the only one. Professor Joanna Bourke has written a new book, Five Evil Women. It looks at the fascination with these figures and finds it often reveals as much about society as it does about the crimes themselves. Joanna tells Nuala why she chose these five women and they're also joined by BBC Radio 4 New Generation Thinker, criminologist Professor Stephanie Brown.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd
The O2 documentary is FINALLY out on YouTube, and the boys celebrated with a chaotic viewing party at Sam's house - which ended with a rather interesting Instagram Live… and we're hit with the big question: when are the boys getting back on stage?Fresh from the BRITs, Sam reveals why he waited 30 minutes to walk the red carpet with Pete, Pete shares the moment Sharon Osbourne complimented him, and Sam reacts to being officially announced for Soccer Aid again - with Tom Hiddleston back in the lineup... maybe this year he'll guest on the pod.Plus: Sam's dad accidentally calls the podcast “Staying Irrelevant”, Pete prepares for Crufts with his teenage dog Rodney, the boys react to Tom Holland and Zendaya's secret wedding and the boys reveal their dream wedding plans… —
It's a pop emergency this week as we have Hilary Duff joining us on the podcast! Fresh from her smash sell out London show, Hilary joined us for lunch to talk about her brand new album ‘Luck… Or Something'. We chatted about being a mum of 4, growing up in Texas, we swapped sourdough starter tips, heard about writing the album with her husband, she shared her thoughts on being compared to Sabrina Carpenter, where to eat in LA, and Hilary confesses she actually stopped at Brick Lane for a quick bagel en route to the recording! We can't wait to see her headline at The O2 later this year when she kicks off her huge world tour. Hilary's album ‘Luck… Or Something' is a great record and it's available to buy everywhere now.

We talk about polarization in terms of media, algorithms, and politics. But what if we've simply forgotten how to sit down with people who aren't like us?In this episode, David sits down with Tim Jones, founder of Longer Tables, a real-world initiative that brings strangers together over shared meals to rebuild social trust and human connection.Tim argues that humans are “slow-cooked.” Trust, belonging, and meaningful relationships don't scale at the speed of technology—and that mismatch may be driving much of our social division.This conversation explores what happens when you remove job titles, politics, and performance from the table—and what it might take to design connection in a polarized world.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

In this episode, recorded live at AHR Expo 2026, Bryan sits down with Louise from UEi (United Electronics Inc.) for an in-depth conversation about one of the most underestimated dangers in the HVAC trade: carbon monoxide. Rather than treating CO as just another checkmark on a safety list, Bryan and Louise dive into the full history of the gas — all the way back to early publications from 1922 and 1923 that were already studying the effects of low-level CO exposure. One of the most fascinating takeaways from their discussion is just how long the industry has known about the dangers of carbon monoxide, yet how frequently it remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked on the job site. Louise breaks down the science behind CO poisoning in a way that is both accessible and eye-opening. Unlike high-level acute poisoning — where symptoms are immediately obvious — low-level, chronic carbon monoxide exposure is an entirely different beast. It can mimic the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and even heart attack symptoms. Because CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and victims often have no idea what is causing their illness. Compounding the problem is the cumulative nature of CO toxicity: the gas builds up in the bloodstream over time and can linger in the body for days, months, or even years after exposure ends. Bryan draws an entertaining but sobering historical connection between the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning during the Victorian era — when gas lamps were common inside homes — and the widespread reports of ghost sightings, fugue states, fainting spells, and the spiritualist movement of the time. It was almost certainly CO poisoning, not the paranormal. The conversation then shifts to practical, on-the-job guidance for technicians and contractors. Bryan and Louise walk through the proper process for combustion analysis: starting your analyzer outside in fresh air, identifying test ports on furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, and understanding what readings at steady state actually mean. They emphasize that CO production is not limited to furnaces alone — ranges, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, and even propane-powered forklifts are all legitimate sources. One of the most critical points they make is that carbon monoxide hazards are often intermittent and condition-dependent. A system can appear to be working perfectly during one visit and be producing dangerous levels the next time a door is closed or a vent is accidentally blocked. Visual inspection, awareness of combustion air sourcing, and thoughtful analysis are just as important as having the right instruments. On the product side, Louise introduces two exciting new offerings from UEI. The first is the UEI Clip, a compact personal CO detector that clips onto a bag, belt, or lanyard, activates automatically at 20 ppm, and is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it safety device with a two-year sealed battery lifespan. Priced under $100, it is an affordable way to outfit an entire team with a baseline layer of personal protection. The second highlight is the new High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC), a commemorative product celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary. This meter excels at wattage measurement — particularly with low-draw ECM blower motors where most meters fall short — and Bluetooth integration with MeasureQuick is on the horizon. Louise also walks through UEI's revamped combustion analyzer recertification program, UEI Service Plus, which offers same-day turnaround on standard recertifications at their Indianapolis facility, extended warranties with each annual service, and transparent, upfront pricing directly on their website. Topics Covered The history of carbon monoxide research dating back to publications from 1922 and 1923, and a 1923 patent for a hot water heater that sparked a friendly debate between Bryan and Louise about terminology. How low-level, chronic CO exposure is underdiagnosed and can mimic conditions like the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and heart attack symptoms — and why CO builds up cumulatively in the bloodstream. The fascinating historical theory connecting widespread Victorian-era reports of ghosts, fugue states, and fainting spells to chronic carbon monoxide poisoning from indoor gas lamps. CO safety thresholds: residential standard (9 ppm), World Health Organization guideline (4 ppm), first responder evacuation threshold (35 ppm), and how UL-rated home alarms may not trigger until 70 ppm sustained for 1–4 hours. Sources of CO that technicians often overlook, including ovens, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, propane forklifts, generators, and vehicles idling near garages. Proper combustion analysis procedure: starting the analyzer outside in ambient air, identifying or installing test ports, running tests at steady state, and interpreting O2, CO, and stack temperature readings. Industry CO standards for furnaces: official standard (400 ppm), HRI recommendation (200 ppm), industry best practice (100 ppm), and modern high-efficiency benchmarks (50 ppm or less). How combustion air sourcing — and changes to it (new roofs, blocked vents, swapped doors) — is one of the most commonly missed risk factors for CO production. Why even "heat pump markets" like Florida still need combustion analysis, since over 90% of homes have at least one fuel-fired appliance. Introduction of the UEi Clip personal CO detector: set-and-forget, activates at 20 ppm, sealed 2-year battery, priced under $100, and its unexpected popularity among refrigeration technicians. Introduction of the UEi High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC) commemorative edition: exceptional accuracy at low current draws (ideal for ECM blower motors), full accessory kit included, and upcoming measureQuick Bluetooth integration. UEi's Service+ combustion analyzer recertification program: same-day turnaround at their Indianapolis lab, extended warranty with each annual service, prepaid UPS shipping labels, and transparent pricing on their website.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💉 Hydrocortisone Saves Lives:The 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) showed a clear mortality benefit and reduced need for intubation in severe CAP patients treated with hydrocortisone.📊 Guidelines Are Catching Up:The SCCM (2024) and ERS now recommend steroids for severe CAP, while ATS/IDSA updates are still pending.🔥 Redefining “Severe”:Patients requiring high FiO₂ (>50%), noninvasive or mechanical ventilation, or PSI >130 meet criteria for steroid therapy — even outside the ICU.🍬 Main Risk = Hyperglycemia:Elevated glucose was the most consistent adverse effect, but rates of GI bleed and secondary infection were not increased.🧭 Early, Targeted Use Matters:Start hydrocortisone within 24 hours of identifying severity — especially in patients with high CRP (>150) or strong inflammatory response. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Corticosteroids have long sparked debate in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia — once viewed with skepticism, now increasingly supported by high-quality evidence. In this episode, Dr. Alex Chapa joins the REBEL Core Cast team to explore how the 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) reshaped practice and guideline recommendations for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). 📖 Historical Context & Long-Standing Skepticism For decades, the use of steroids in pneumonia was controversial.Early Use: Steroids entered practice in the 1940s and 50s for autoimmune inflammation, but there was immediate hesitation regarding secondary superinfections.Mixed Data: From the 1980s to the 2000s, small studies emerged on severe pneumonia and ARDS, but the data was inconsistent. Different trials used varying definitions of “severe” pneumonia and different C-reactive protein (CRP) cutoffs, making the data “spread” and easy to “cherry pick” to support or deny a benefit.Past Guidelines: This uncertainty was reflected in official guidelines:2007 (ATS/IDSA): The American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America did not address the topic due to insufficient data.2019 (ATS/IDSA): Pre-COVID, the guidelines recommended against using corticosteroids in severe CAP. They acknowledged no benefit for non-severe pneumonia, but the data for severe pneumonia was considered too weak to endorse.Pre-Trial Consensus: Prior to 2023, the consensus was to avoid steroids in non-severe pneumonia, while severe pneumonia remained a “gray area” with no treatment showing a clear mortality difference. 📜 The Landmark Cape Cod Trial (NEJM 2023) The Cape Cod trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2023, reignited the discussion by providing robust, positive data.Trial Design: Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.Intervention: 800 patients randomized to two groups, Hydrocortisone as a continuous infusion (200mg/day) versus a placebo infusion.Taper: On day 4, clinicians would decide whether to continue the infusion or begin a taper based on clinical response.Population: Patients with severe CAP, defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria:Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) > 130.O2 by FiO2 ratio < 300.Need for mechanical or non-invasive ventilation (with PEEP ≥ 5).Need for high FiO2 (>50%) via non-rebreather or heated high flow.Primary Outcomes: Death for any cause 6.2% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.9% (placebo)Secondary outcomes:Death from any cause at 90 days 9.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 14.7% (placebo)Endotracheal intubation 18% (hydrocortisone) vs 29% (placebo)Hospital-acquired infections 9.8% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.1% (placebo)Gastrointestinal bleeding 2.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 3.3% (placebo)Vasopressor initiation by day 28 15.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 25.0% (placebo)Key Findings: The trial demonstrated superiority for hydrocortisone 📋 Updated Guidelines & Current Practice The Cape Cod trial, along with subsequent meta-analyses, has begun to change official recommendations.Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM): In 2024, an SCCM expert panel, reviewing the Cape Cod trial and 18 others, strongly recommended corticosteroids for severe CAP. They concluded that steroids reduce mortality and the need for mechanical ventilation.Meta-Analysis (Smit et al.): A 2024 meta-analysis in Lancet Respiratory confirmed the 30-day mortality benefit.European Respiratory Society (ERS): The ERS has issued a recommendation to use steroids for severe pneumonia but still urges caution regarding side effects.ATS/IDSA: As of the podcast recording, the ATS/IDSA had not yet updated their 2019 guidelines. 🛠️ Practical Application for Clinicians Defining “Severe” CAP: The key is to identify patients who qualify as “severe”. This can be done using:Scoring Tools: The PSI is the best validated tool for mortality but is cumbersome. Simpler tools like CURB-65 or SMART-COP are practical and acceptable for defining severity. 2023 meta-analysis from by Zaki et al showed both work well, but CURB-65 has better mortality prediction early on.Cape Cod Criteria: Any patient meeting the trial’s inclusion criteria (e.g., high-flow O2, non-invasive ventilation) qualifies, regardless of location (ED, floor, or ICU).Biomarkers: While not required, a CRP level was used in many studies. A CRP > 150 (Cape Cod) or > 204 (Smit meta-analysis) strongly indicates severe inflammation that would benefit from steroids.Clinical Judgment: A patient who looks “sick,” has “soft” blood pressure, or has dense infiltrates and high oxygen needs (e.g., >50% FiO2 on high flow) is a candidate.Adverse Effects:Hyperglycemia: This was the most significant risk identified, with rates between 6-12%. This is a primary concern, especially in patient populations with high BMI.GI Bleed & Secondary Infection: Fears of these side effects, which contributed to historical skepticism, were not borne out in the Cape Cod trial. The data does not support being overly concerned.Other Side Effects: Mood changes, delirium, insomnia, and agitation in the elderly are known side effects of steroids that were not specifically addressed in the trial but remain clinical concerns. 🔄 Clinical Pathway for Steroids in Severe CAP Unanswered Questions & Future Research Possible remaining questions:Biomarkers: Can we find a more precise CRP level to distinguish moderate from severe disease? Could other markers like ferritin or IL-6 be used? Dosing & Tapering: How much immunomodulation is needed, and when is it truly safe to taper?Gender Differences: Early data suggests females may respond better to steroids and experience fewer side effects. The question of female patients with severe CAP require less corticosteroids needs further exploration. 👉 Clinical Bottom Line The current literature, spearheaded by the Cape Cod trial, now supports the use of corticosteroids in severe community-acquired pneumonia. The best evidence currently points to hydrocortisone, started early (within 24 hours) after severity is identified using a validated tool. While hyperglycemia is a risk, the previous fears of GI bleeding and secondary infections were not substantiated in recent, rigorous trials. 📚 References Chapa-Rodriguez A, Abou-Elmagd T, O’Rear C, Narechania S.
