Award winning writer, director, producer, and actor Elaine Del Valle joins Gracias, Come Again for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about survival, storytelling, and representation. Elaine opens up about growing up Puerto Rican in the 1980s in Brownsville, Brooklyn, raised in low income housing while surrounded by addiction, poverty, and instability. We talk about being sent to Puerto Rico as a form of punishment, an experience many Latino kids can relate to, and how those summers on the island shaped her identity and perspective. Elaine reflects on becoming a socially impactful storyteller who centers voices and communities that are rarely seen or heard on screen. Elaine began her acting career in the 1990s, appearing in projects like Donnie Brasco, The Sopranos, and lending her voice as Belle the Octopus on Dora the Explorer for 23 episodes. We also talk about her acclaimed film Princess Cut, now streaming on HBO Max, and the importance of telling authentic Latino stories without compromise. Make sure to stream Elaine Del Valle’s powerful new film Brownsville Bred, available now on Amazon Prime Video. This episode is a must hear for anyone interested in resilience, culture, filmmaking, and stories rooted in truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Tech and Science Daily from The Standard, we look at plans for robotaxi trials in London in 2026, plus the surprising UK science story being dubbed the “year of the octopus” after a boom in sightings and catches off England's south coast. Then Alan Leer drops into an interview with Johannes Maunz, Senior Vice President of AI at Hexagon, on AI-enhanced digital twin mapping — and how virtual city models could help London plan everything from driverless transport to climate-resilient infrastructure and pedestrian-first streets.

For our final episode of the year, Laurent jumped onto the Wolfe Power podcast, where he and host Alex Wolfe took a no-nonsense tour through the big energy moments that shaped 2025.  Deals of the Year: The spectacular offshore wind meltdown in the US — Orsted's year of pain — contrasted with the blazing global boom in battery deployment all over the world, up a staggering 50% year-on-year.The AI & Datacenter Surge: An extraordinary rise… but how much of it is grounded in facts, and how much is built on faith?Scandals & Disgraces: From the SMR pump-and-dump circus to Venture Global's LNG “ghosts ships,” and of course the Tony Blair report debacle — 2025 delivered drama.Innovations That Actually Mattered: V2G is born thanks to Octopus and BYD and ever larger LFP form factors are reshaping storage — real progress amid the noise.Quotes of the Year: A remarkable harvest of sharp insights capturing the zeitgeist… and, inevitably, a mountain of nonsense worth calling out.To all our listeners: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thank you for riding through 2025 with us.We'll be back in early January with our Predictions episode — always a very popular one.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Sam Reynolds, CEO of Octopus Investments Australia, to unpack one of the most critical and investable themes of our time: the global energy transition. As energy costs rise and the pathway to net zero becomes increasingly complex, Sam offers a grounded, data-driven perspective on how capital can be deployed responsibly without compromising on returns. We explore how institutional-grade renewable and energy-transition assets are delivering attractive double-digit returns, why the sector has historically been dominated by large institutions, and what's now changing for wholesale investors. The conversation spans global energy supply dynamics, political and regulatory uncertainty, and the real-world implications for investors seeking long-term, sustainable outcomes. Sam also shares how Octopus approaches asset selection, risk management, and portfolio construction in a space where sustainability and infrastructure intersect. For investors interested in future-proofing portfolios, aligning capital with decarbonisation, and understanding where genuine opportunity exists, this is a timely discussion with one of the leading minds in energy-transition investing.

Wolfie looks into the future of Forest star player Elliot Anderson and heavy links to Man City! Switch to Octopus and get an extra £50 credit on your energy bills - https://share.octopus.energy/quiet-pearl-365 The transfer merry-go-round is spinning at full speed, and we've got a massive update on the future of Forest's very own England international, Elliot Anderson. Reports are circulating that Manchester City have now moved into pole position to secure the midfielder's signature, leapfrogging other top-six rivals. While the lure of the Etihad is undeniable, the message from the City Ground is firm: Nottingham Forest are incredibly keen to keep hold of Anderson until at least the summer. Wolfie dives into the latest whispers, the potential record-breaking price tag, and whether Forest can realistically fend off the champions during the January madness. It's not just about potential outgoings, though, as we have exclusive news regarding a new arrival! Forest are actively working on bringing in a new left-back during the January transfer window to bolster the defensive line. With the need for more depth and competition on the left flank becoming clear, the recruitment team has reportedly identified a top target to hit the ground running in the new year. We discuss the names being linked, the profile of the player we're looking for, and how this signing could be the key to a much more stable second half of the season. We want to hear from YOU! Is Elliot Anderson simply "not for sale," or is there a price that makes sense for the club's long-term growth? Plus, who is on your January wishlist for that left-back spot? Drop your thoughts in the comments below and let's get the debate started! A huge thank you to our Patreon community for the continued support—you make these deep-dive updates possible.

Headline of the Week contender #5: Wild beavers may have spread further than we realize, Headline of the Week review and then listener voting to crown winner, Some guy in Sweden taught his pet octopus to play piano by bribing it with crab

The Piano Playing Octopus (12/12/25) by 96.5 WKLH

We created the perfect foot race, and it involves flip-flops, margaritas, and fun for the whole family. This might be our best idea yet. We learn why horses got domesticated and zebras didn't, and we also realize zebras are the reality tv personaliteis of the animal kingdom (in the worst way). We find out why octopuses are more similar to humans than we realized, except for how they might be aliens.

What animal has nine brains, eight arms, three hearts, adapts rapidly, and possesses exceptional intelligence? Yes, the description applies to octopuses. But according to Stephen Wunker, managing director of New Markets Advisors, it is also an apt description of business owners and CEOs who harness artificial intelligence to transform their companies into super-high-performing organizations. Steve and his colleagues advise companies and organizations, including Microsoft, Meta, Nike, and the World Bank, on innovation strategy and capabilities. His latest book, co-authored with futurist Jonathan Brill, is AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm. Steve, who previously was a guest on this podcast in April 2024, sees the cephalopod's decentralized decision-making, lightning-fast problem-solving, and hyper-responsive behavior as an ideal model for AI-empowered leadership. As he explains, winning with AI doesn't mean squeezing new tools into old systems. It requires leaders to rethink — even rewire — how their organizations operate so they can swim with the intelligence and adaptability of an octopus.

In dieser Folge von BierTalk nehme ich euch mit nach Lahnstein – und zwar an den Verkostungstisch von Dr. Markus Fohr: Braumeister, Biersommelier, Craftbier-Tüftler und obendrein Marathonläufer. Gemeinsam probieren wir uns einmal quer durch seine Craftbiere und sprechen darüber, was hinter den Rezeptideen steckt: Warum genau diese Rohstoffe? Welche Aromen sollen im Glas landen? Und was macht ein Bier für ihn wirklich „stimmig“? Zwischendurch geht's raus aus dem Sudhaus und rein in die Laufschuhe: Markus erzählt, wie er das Training für lange Distanzen mit dem Braueralltag zusammenbringt – und warum Ausdauer, Fokus und ein gutes Gefühl für Timing in beiden Welten entscheidend sind. Natürlich darf auch sein großer Moment nicht fehlen: der Sieg bei der Deutschen Meisterschaft der Biersommeliers – inklusive Einblicken, was dort wirklich zählt und wie man sich auf so einen Wettbewerb vorbereitet. Eine wahre Marathon-Folge voller Geschmack, Tempo und echter Leidenschaft fürs Bier. Kopfhörer auf, Glas bereit – los geht's!

Everyone has heard of the New World Order, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations as vehicles for global domination, economic enslavement, and world government. There was, however, a lesser-known criminal network that operated from the shadows for decades and was deeply involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, an assortment of massive financial frauds, sexual blackmail entrapment honeypots, money laundering on an unimaginable scale, and of course, many, many murders. There existed a 5,000-person criminal network with George H.W. Bush as the CEO that covertly ran the world from behind the scenes through the 1980s and 1990s that came to be known as “The Enterprise”, but most people would better recognize it from the name that author Danny Casolero gave it in his book that ended up costing him his life: the “Octopus”. — Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io  Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/  Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com  Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com  Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com  EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro  Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471  Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO  —

Bush as the CEO that covertly ran the world from behind the scenes through the 1980s and 1990s that came to be known as “The Enterprise”, but most people would better recognize it from the name that author Danny Casolero gave it in his book that ended up costing him his life: the “Octopus”.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcastActivist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

We would love to hear your feedback!Ep 278 News LinksA viral claim collapses, a van gets swiped in broad daylight, and a driverless car freezes in an alley—welcome to a week where gig work shows its sharp edges. We open with a wild “clip of the week” from a Spark delivery, then unpack the fallout from the DoorDash creator whose videos led to felony charges after she filmed a customer nude and posted his information online. What counts as evidence, what crosses the line, and how do you protect yourself without chasing clicks?From there, we dive into safety in the field: the naked stranger who climbed into a delivery van and crashed it, the simple habits that would have stopped it, and the broader need for situational awareness when you're juggling keys, phones, and doorsteps. We balance the chaos with practical wins—Octopus tablets for passive tips and engagement, plus why riders should always compare Uber and Lyft before booking. If 84 percent never check both apps, that's money left on the table and drivers feeling the squeeze.Policy and tech loom over it all. New Zealand's top court just said several Uber drivers are employees, opening the door to benefits and back pay claims. Meanwhile, autonomy meets reality: Lyft's CEO doubts self‑driving will dominate soon, even as Waymo expands to freeways while still stumbling in tight urban maneuvers. We talk costs, liability, cleaning fleets, and why geofenced pilots will coexist with human drivers for years. Add a fresh DoorDash data leak and the rise of retail partnerships like Old Navy delivery, and you can see the next phase of gig work: more services, more risk, more need for clear rules.If you care about driver safety, platform policies, and the real timeline for autonomous rides, this one's for you.

In this episode, Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks sit down with Sa-Eun Park, also known as San Shine, a belonging coach and spiritual entrepreneur based in Incheon, Korea. San shares her powerful story of growing up cross-culturally—moving from Korea to Saudi Arabia, then Austria, and later, the U.S.—and how these experiences shaped her journey with belonging, identity, and self-acceptance.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Wound of Uprootedness:San discusses the impact of being separated from her family at a young age and growing up across multiple cultures, and how this led to a lifelong search for belonging.Inner Boardroom Method:San introduces her unique approach to self-acceptance by creating an "inner boardroom," inviting listeners to listen compassionately to the many voices within themselves shaped by cross-cultural experiences.Belonging as a Superpower:The conversation explores the idea that the ability to hold multiple cultural identities is not just a challenge, but a superpower for empathy and connection.Authenticity and Wholeness:How embracing all parts of ourselves, even the conflicted or fragmented ones, leads to a fuller sense of authenticity and belonging.The Human Kintsugi:San is developing a new framework—“The Human Kintsugi”—inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. It's about turning life's fractures into sources of beauty and strength.Senses and Belonging:The importance of using our senses, especially intuition, to recognize belonging and polarization in spaces we inhabit.Community in a Changing World:A discussion on how the meaning of community is shifting with technology, and why self-belonging is foundational for creating connections with others.Memorable Quotes“Those voices are there to guide you to the wholeness in you.” – San Shine“Belonging is about returning to yourself and remembering who you already are.”Practical TipsPractice the Inner Boardroom:Sit with your different identities and listen to each one with compassion, as you would to children with different needs.Create Your Own Healing Rituals:Physical objects—like a heart with country flags—can help visually acknowledge and integrate all the cultures and experiences in your life.Explore Playlists:Curate music that resonates with your sense of belonging, or helps you connect with different versions of yourself.Connect with Today's Guest:Founder and CEO of Octopus and Stitch ConsultingIG - @octopusandstitchhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sanshine/Resources MentionedThe concept of “Human Kintsugi”Megan Norton-Newbanks' book: Belonging Across BordersRepatriation Playlist (referenced in the episode; available in show notes)Thank you for joining us on Nomadic Diaries!

In this exciting installment of the ongoing Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference series, Ryan “RPG” Golembeske returns for another deep dive into the world of cryptids—this time taking listeners on a journey from the depths of the ocean to the heart of the wilderness.With his signature blend of curiosity, experience, and adventurous storytelling, RPG explores the legendary creatures that continue to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike. The discussion begins with iconic sea monsters such as the Kraken, examining whether sightings throughout history may point to encounters with massive cephalopods like giant octopuses. He then shifts to the mysterious waters of Loch Ness, highlighting the compelling scientific theory that Nessie could be a supersized eel—a hypothesis gaining traction through modern research.From there, the conversation moves into familiar terrain: Bigfoot. RPG presents a fascinating angle on Sasquatch biology and survival, proposing that these elusive beings may rely on naturally occurring hyperbaric environments—hidden geothermal systems, pressure-regulated cave networks, or unique atmospheric pockets—to maintain longevity, accelerate healing, and avoid detection. The talk expands into broader cryptid theory, asking whether such creatures are undiscovered animals, evolutionary holdovers, or manifestations of phenomena we have yet to understand. hrough a blend of science, speculation, anthropology, and field experience, RPG guides the audience through a dynamic exploration of the unknown.This session delivers another captivating chapter in the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference series—an invitation to rethink what might still be hiding in our oceans, forests, and unexplored corners of the world.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
