LdN490 Pazifismus: Lässt sich Putin wirklich mit Gesang aus der Ukraine vertreiben? (Olaf L. Müller, Professor für Philosophie)

In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18. Chris signs off with the usual mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com.

Send me a messageIf you're buying 120% of the food required to serve 100% of your customers, you don't have a waste problem. You have a forecasting, procurement and margin problem.My guest is Olaf van der Veen, co-founder of Orbisk, working with commercial kitchens to track where food is being lost. His point is blunt: much of that loss happens before anything reaches a plate, through overproduction, overstocking and weak operating procedures. In a low-margin business, that is excess inventory turning directly into lost profit.We examine why food waste is often misdiagnosed as bad behaviour, what changes when kitchens can finally see where losses occur, and why AI forecasts perform better when combined with experienced human judgement. We also look at a hotel that cut one chef to save cost, only to discover the extra waste was expensive enough to pay for two and a half.Listen now to understand where poor planning is quietly eating margin, and what better demand, procurement and operational data can reveal. If disruption hit tomorrow, would you know where your supply chain was most exposed?

D23 2026 was stacked — for the first time in a long while, Disney made major announcements for all six U.S. parks, plus Disney Cruise Line and a full lineup of movies. In this episode, Lisa, Debby, Sharpie and Steve give you the fast, fun rundown of everything that matters, with the context and honest takes you only get from planners who've actually been there. Here's what's coming to the Disney parks (and when): Magic Kingdom Villains Land — a new immersive land roughly the size of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, anchored by a Maleficent family coaster and a Magic Mirror dark ride through the Evil Queen's catacombs, starring Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Scar and more. Shops, restaurants, and yes — a villains bar with smoky drinks. Ground is already broken. Piston Peak — Frontierland's national-park-themed expansion (replacing Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island) with a Cars-inspired E-ticket, a Mrs. Fritter spinner, and a Ranger HQ lodge with walking trails. Projected for 2027. Carousel of Progress reimagined — new decades (1960s, 1980s, the Y2K millennium, and a "possible future"), new voices from Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston, a rumored Walt Disney opening — and hopefully the same "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." Debuting late spring 2027. Disney's Hollywood Studios Monstropolis — "the city frightful" opens in the former Muppets Courtyard (phased, starting 2027). The Globe Theatre welcome show with Mike & Sulley, Archie's Scared Pig Pizza, the Monsters University Alumni Club, Harryhausen's sushi restaurant, and the Door Coaster (a vault coaster that launches riders ~40 feet in about 4 seconds) coming in a later phase. Disney's Animal Kingdom Tropical Americas — Indiana Jones: Rise of the Jade Serpent (with a Harrison Ford animatronic), an Encanto Casita ride-through, a new carousel, and the largest quick-service restaurant on property. Plus — the Expedition Everest "Disco Yeti" is finally getting fixed. Epcot Spaceship Earth gets a "grand and miraculous" overhaul, and Dreamfinder returns to Journey Into Imagination. Disney Cruise Line First look at the Disney Believe (sailing late 2027), a Moana-and-South-Pacific-themed evolution of the Wish class — plus a new, smaller class of ships debuting 2029 built for underserved ports, growing the fleet to 13. Disneyland Resort Tomorrowland reimagining, Avengers Campus expansion and the new Stark Flight Lab, the return of the original World of Color, a new nighttime projection spectacular, and the Magic Happens parade coming back for summer 2027. At the movies: Coco 2, Frozen 3 (Anna & Kristoff finally marry — and Olaf falls in love), a new Ice Age, and Incredibles 3. Chapters 0:00 — Welcome & why D23 is the "Disney high holidays" 3:56 — Villains Land comes to Magic Kingdom 9:43 — Piston Peak replaces Rivers of America & Tom Sawyer Island 15:23 — Disney Cruise Line: first look at the Disney Believe + a new smaller ship class 22:56 — Tomorrowland reimagining at Disneyland 26:20 — Monstropolis opens at Hollywood Studios (Door Coaster, Harryhausen's) 33:34 — Carousel of Progress reimagined (Jamie Lee Curtis & Bryan Cranston) 37:57 — Movies & music: Coco 2, Frozen 3, Ice Age, Incredibles 3 40:07 — Animal Kingdom: Indiana Jones, Encanto & the Disco Yeti fix 47:05 — Epcot: Spaceship Earth overhaul + the return of Dreamfinder 54:37 — Disneyland Resort: Avengers Campus, World of Color & nighttime shows 63:00 — Wrap-up Plan your Disney vacation with us Mouse Chat is brought to you by Pixie Vacations, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner with 735+ five-star reviews.

Gemeinsam mit Olaf widmet sie sich einem Thema, das im Fitness- und Bodybuilding-Kontext häufig diskutiert, aber oft nur oberflächlich betrachtet wird: Hormongesundheit. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden unter anderem über: ▪️ den schmalen Grat zwischen sinnvoller Selbstfürsorge und einem übertriebenen Optimierungsdrang ▪️ Jennifers Sicht auf die moderne Medizin, Symptombehandlung und den Einsatz medikamentöser Therapien während der Menopause ▪️ welche Faktoren Frauen – unabhängig davon, ob sie Wettkampfsport betreiben oder nicht – im Blick behalten sollten, um ihre hormonelle Gesundheit langfristig zu unterstützen ▪️ warum die Wechseljahre so individuell verlaufen und welche hormonellen Herausforderungen Frauen auch außerhalb der Menopause betreffen können ▪️ weshalb manche Athletinnen ihre Wettkampfvorbereitung rückblickend als extrem belastend empfinden oder den Einstieg ins Wettkampf-Bodybuilding sogar bereuen ▪️ die Frage, ob im modernen Wettkampf-Bodybuilding manchmal der Spaß am Sport verloren geht ▪️ und Jennifers persönliche Wettkampfpläne für die kommende Zeit. Eine differenzierte Episode über Hormongesundheit, Bodybuilding und die Frage, wie Leistungsorientierung und langfristiges Wohlbefinden miteinander vereinbar sein können.

Unser heutiger Gast ist promovierter Diplom-Kaufmann, stellvertretender Vorstandssprecher der Hamburger Sparkasse und seit vielen Jahren an einer Stelle tätig, an der sehr konkret sichtbar wird, wie sehr Vertrauen, Verantwortung und Veränderung zusammengehören. Er ist seit 1998 bei der Haspa. Er hat dort im Treasury begonnen, später Themen wie strategische Vermögensallokation und Gesamtbanksteuerung verantwortet und gehört seit 2020 dem Vorstand an. Das ist deshalb spannend, weil die Haspa nicht irgendeine Bank ist. Sie ist tief mit Hamburg verbunden, betreut rund 1,5 Millionen Kundinnen und Kunden, ist einer der großen Arbeitgeber und Ausbilder der Stadt und verbindet regionale Nähe mit digitaler Beratung, Apps und neuen Formen des Bankings. In dieser Rolle geht es nicht nur um Zahlen, Produkte und Regulierung. Es geht auch um die Frage, wie sich eine Institution verändert, ohne ihr Versprechen zu verlieren. Wie bleibt eine Bank nahbar, wenn immer mehr Prozesse digital werden? Wie führt man ein Unternehmen durch Transformation, wenn Vertrauen die eigentliche Währung ist? Und welche Verantwortung hat eine regionale Bank für die Menschen, Unternehmen und Nachbarschaften einer Stadt? Seit neun Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 560 Episoden haben wir mit mehr als 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Heute sprechen wir darüber, wie Transformation in einer traditionsreichen Organisation wirklich gelingt. Darüber, was Kundennähe in einer digitalen Finanzwelt bedeutet. Und darüber, welche Rolle Führung, Verantwortung und Vertrauen spielen, wenn Arbeit, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft sich gleichzeitig verändern.

Jan Kersjes gehört zu den markantesten Musicaldarstellern Deutschlands und begeistert derzeit als Doc Brown im Hamburger Erfolgsmusical „Zurück in die Zukunft“. Im Gespräch erzählt der Schauspieler von seinem außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg, seiner Karriere zwischen Schauspiel und Musical sowie von den Erfahrungen, die ihn privat und beruflich geprägt haben.Schon als Kind entdeckte Jan Kersjes seine Leidenschaft für Geschichten. Filme, Fernsehproduktionen und Theateraufzeichnungen wurden zum Ausgangspunkt seines Wunsches, selbst auf der Bühne zu stehen. Nach einer klassischen Schauspielausbildung spielte er zunächst an verschiedenen Stadttheatern und übernahm Rollen in bekannten Theaterstücken wie "Hamlet", "Woyzeck" oder "Die Räuber". Der Wechsel ins Musical erfolgte vergleichsweise spät, erwies sich jedoch als entscheidender Karriereschritt. Mit der Rolle des König George in "Hamilton" gelang ihm der Durchbruch im Musicalbereich. Es folgten Engagements als Olaf in "Die Eiskönigin", Timon in "Der König der Löwen" und schließlich Doc Brown in "Zurück in die Zukunft".Besonders reizvoll findet Kersjes exzentrische Charakterrollen. Statt klassischer Heldenfiguren interessieren ihn Rollen mit Humor, Eigenheiten und viel Spielfreiheit. Gerade diese Figuren erlauben ihm, mit dem Publikum zu interagieren und jeder Vorstellung eine eigene Dynamik zu verleihen.Neben seiner Karriere spricht Jan Kersjes offen über persönliche Krisen. Depressionen, Ängste und mangelnde innere Stabilität begleiteten ihn über viele Jahre. Ein Wendepunkt war der Jakobsweg, auf dem er seine spätere Frau kennenlernte. Später führten ihn Meditation, buddhistische Lehren und mehrere Aufenthalte in Indien zu einer spirituellen Lebensweise, die bis heute seinen Alltag bestimmt. Diese Praxis hilft ihm nach eigener Aussage sowohl im Privatleben als auch unmittelbar vor seinen Auftritten.Auch sein Start in Hamburg verlief ungewöhnlich. Weil die Familie zunächst keine Wohnung fand, lebte sie mehrere Monate auf dem ElbeCamp in einer Jurte. Die einfache Lebensweise ohne gewohnten Komfort wurde rückblickend zu einer prägenden Erfahrung. Heute lebt die Familie in Groß Flottbek, während Kersjes meist mit dem Fahrrad zum Operettenhaus fährt.Im Gespräch schildert der gebürtige Niederrheiner außerdem seine enge Verbindung zu Hamburg, sowie seine Erinnerungen an die Kindheit in Kleve. Er erzählt von seiner Faszination für den Film "Zurück in die Zukunft", der ihn seit seiner Jugend begleitet und erklärt, warum ihn die Figur des Doc Brown besonders anspricht. Das Gespräch zeichnet das Porträt eines vielseitigen Künstlers, der Humor, Schauspiel, Musik und persönliche Entwicklung miteinander verbindet und dessen Erfolg auf weit mehr beruht als spektakulären Bühnenauftritten.Hier geht es zur Podcastempfehlung bei ARD Sounds: https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/true-crime-hamburg-der-polizei-podcast/urn:ard:show:3c3311290ecbada3/

Judith hat die Mango für sich entdeckt. Die Frucht kommt aufs Müsli, ins Eis oder wird zu einem leckeren Getränk. Doch wo wachsen Mangos eigentlich? Olaf recherchiert und weiß die Antwort.

Olaf is Co-Founder & CTO of Neros. They just moved into a new 250,000 sq ft factory, expect to hit a 130,000-drone annual run rate by the end of the year, and plan to scale to 1 million drones a year by 2028.

Es ist passiert. Wirklich. Wir haben es geschafft. Und natürlich war das alles vollkommen spontan. Niemand hat über mehrere Jahre hinweg versucht, einen gemeinsamen Termin zu finden. Niemand hat Kalender verglichen, Termine verworfen oder irgendwann aufgehört zu glauben, dass diese Aufnahme jemals stattfinden würde. Ganz spontan also haben wir uns mit unserem guten Freund Philip Bösand zusammengesetzt und sprechen über „Pistenteufel“ von Ben Nevis.  Gemeinsam stürzen wir uns auf die Piste, folgen den drei ??? in den Schnee und klären die wirklich wichtigen Fragen: Wie teuflisch ist der Pistenteufel eigentlich? Wie schlägt sich der Fall heute? Und war die Terminfindung für diesen Podcast am Ende vielleicht doch das größere Rätsel? Eine neue Folge Spezialgelagerter Sonderpodcast – mit Ben Nevis, Pistenteufeln, Philip Bösand und einer Aufnahme, die selbstverständlich völlig spontan zustande gekommen ist.

(Diese Episode enthält Produktplatzierung) Zum zweiten Mal dürfen wir Marcus Ringe bei uns begrüßen – und dieses Mal dreht sich alles um das lang erwartete Community-Q&A! Gemeinsam mit Olaf beantwortet Marcus Fragen zu aktuellen Entwicklungen im Bodybuilding, leistungssteigernden Substanzen und der Frage, was den Sport heute von früher unterscheidet. Unter anderem sprechen die beiden über: ▪️ ihre Sicht auf den aktuellen Peptid-Hype und warum das Thema derzeit so präsent ist ▪️ was im Körper tatsächlich passiert, wenn menschliches Wachstumshormon von außen zugeführt wird – und welche möglichen Chancen und Risiken damit verbunden sind ▪️ weshalb die Herzgesundheit gerade im Zusammenhang mit leistungssteigernden Substanzen niemals aus dem Blick geraten sollte !! ▪️ ob sich Old School und New School Bodybuilding wirklich unterscheiden oder ob vieles davon eher ein Generationenthema ist ▪️ welche Rolle die Genetik für den Erfolg im Bodybuilding spielt und ob sie harte Arbeit jemals vollständig ersetzen kann ▪️ und ob dem modernen Wettkampf-Bodybuilding auf der Bühne manchmal die Show und Unterhaltung vergangener Zeiten fehlt. Eine offene Q&A-Folge über Entwicklung, Verantwortung und die Frage, was Bodybuilding gestern wie heute ausmacht.

Ann was in her late eighties when her adult granddaughter asked, “Grandma, what was the very best time in your life? Ann was one of 10 kids born to Norwegian immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island and settled on the North Dakota prairie. She came from tough stock and was raised in the kind of circumstances where you either made do — or you did without.She and her husband briefly moved to Seattle during World War 2. At that time, Ann was a real-life Rosie the Riveter, working as a riveter in a big city factory to support the war.She was also a cook for cowboys on the open range on a large ranch. Her husband Olaf helped manage the ranch, and Ann hauled water and cooked hearty meals over an open fire with a baby on her hip.  Not one to stay home and bake cookies, Ann was an office manager in their small hometown when they returned to raise their daughters — an astonishing feat for a woman and mother in the 1950s. Romans 14:8 says, “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” And as for the very best time in Ann's life? “Well,” Ann replied, “I think the very best time in my life was my early 40s, when I learned I could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”Travel. Adventure. Daring feats on the dusty prairie and the factory floor. Ann was a woman who had truly lived — and her best adventure of all was taking her relationship with the Lord to the next level. Live as if living for the Lord, and whether you live or die, you'll know you have eternity in heaven to look forward to by God's grace. That's living in a Jesus state of mind.Let's pray. Lord, thank you for men and women who inspire us to live our lives for you. May we grow and thrive in their light — reaching for you as we learn by their example. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Harald Sigurdsson, who would invade England to claim her throne in 1066, was, by his mother Åsta, half-brother to King Olaf Haraldsson, aka St Olaf, by whose side he fought at Stiklestad in 1030 when Olaf unsuccessfully tired to reclaim the Norwegian throne from Cnut.

Idén 15 éves az Átlátszó. A jubileum alkalmából egy olyan újságíróval idézzük fel az elmúlt másfél évtized legfontosabb történeteit, aki meghatározó szerepet játszott lapunk történetében. Mong Attila oknyomozó újságíró, a New York-i székhelyű Committee to Protect Journalists európai képviselője, az Átlátszó egykori főszerkesztő-helyettese az indulástól kezdve részt vett a szerkesztőség felépítésében, a közösségi finanszírozási modell kialakításában és számos emlékezetes tényfeltáró anyag elkészítésében. Milyen volt független oknyomozó szerkesztőséget építeni 2011-ben, amikor az olvasói finanszírozás még szinte ismeretlen modellnek számított Magyarországon? Melyik Átlátszó-nyomozásra a legbüszkébb, és mely ügyek hatása bizonyult évekkel később is meghatározónak? Hogyan alakította át az Orbán-kormány a magyar médiarendszert, milyen eszközökkel nehezedett egyre nagyobb nyomás a független újságírásra, és mit jelent ma újságírónak lenni Magyarországon? 00:00:00 – A kezdetekről és az elmúlt másfél évtized tanulságairól. 00:00:36 – Hogyan született meg Magyarország első közösségi finanszírozású oknyomozó szerkesztősége, és miért számított úttörőnek ez a modell 2011-ben? 00:04:32 – Mong Attila felidézi az egyik legemlékezetesebb átlátszós oknyomozását: egy családi házba forgatott uniós fejlesztési pályázat történetét, ami végül az OLAF figyelmét is felkeltette. 00:08:07 – Milyen volt oknyomozó újságot írni a NER hajnalán? Oligarchák, Simicska Lajos és a korabeli médiakörnyezet. 00:09:13 – Mi minden változott az elmúlt tizenöt évben, és milyen hatással volt ez az újságírásra? 00:12:01 – Mit jelent ma független újságírónak lenni? A politikai és üzleti nyomástól való függetlenségről, szakmai és etikai alapelvekről. 00:14:16 – Az újságírókat érő fenyegetések az elmúlt másfél évtizedben: lejárató kampányok, megbélyegzés és nemzetközi tapasztalatok. 00:17:10 – Mit értenek félre leggyakrabban külföldön a magyar sajtószabadság állapotáról? 00:21:40 – A legsürgetőbb feladatok. Információszabadság, közmédia és a független média finanszírozása. 00:25:35 – Mire elég néhány új jogszabály – és mire nem? 00:28:26 – Milyen Magyarországot szeretnénk látni tizenöt év múlva? Hol lesz az Átlátszó helye 2041-ben? A független sajtó jövőjéről és a demokratikus nyilvánosságról.

Olaf H. zit al 23 jaar vast voor de moord op een echtpaar en een poging tot doodslag op hun 9-jarige kleindochter. Veel omstandigheden wijzen erop dat hij inderdaad de dader is, maar onomstotelijk technisch bewijs is er niet. Sterker nog: volgens advocaten en wetenschappers deugt het vonnis niet. Olaf zelf ontkent nog altijd schuldig te zijn. Onderzoeksjournalist Sanne Boer probeert aan de hand van het omvangrijke strafdossier, gesprekken met de veroordeelde Olaf en met eigen speurwerk te achterhalen hoe de zaak in elkaar zit. Zou Olaf echt onschuldig kunnen zijn en al meer dan twee decennia onterecht gevangen zitten? Luister de zevendelige podcastserie ‘Olaf zit vast' via ‘Argos Series' in jouw favoriete podcast-app.

Matt Lewis and guest Dr Eleanor Barraclough as they dive into the turbulent world of late 10th-century Scandinavia and the extraordinary life of Olaf Tryggvason. Exiled, enslaved, raider, and eventually king of Norway, Olaf was a force of nature in an age of shifting loyalties, pagan beliefs, and rising Christianity. From Kievan Rus to the British Isles, this episode traces his violent rise and his brutal drive to convert Norway and beyond.MOREErik BloodaxeListen on AppleListen on SpotifyLeif EriksonListen on AppleListen on SpotifyNorse Mythology: How to Reach ValhallaListen on AppleListen on SpotifyGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.

In this episode, we dive into "Old Boyfriends" as a man from St. Olaf arrives claiming to have been Rose's teenage boyfriend — and Rose has absolutely no memory of him whatsoever. The episode plays Rose's blankness not as cruelty but as an honest portrait of someone who has loved a lot of people and kept better track of some than others. Meanwhile, Sophia is convinced she's found her perfect match through the personals, which goes exactly how Sophia's romantic endeavors tend to go.  --- If you would like to support this podcast by making a donation, please do so with cashapp to $pasta26mc

When Deputy Luke Marbury rents the cabin above his to a woman named Enid Grant, Oscar becomes convinced that she is destroying the much younger man who joins her there, and his visions show him one killing after another. Fred Gwynne stars, with E.G. Marshall hosting.From there comes "Spirit Calling" from Tales From The Tomb, a short piece about a nine-year-old girl named Amy, alone in the house during a violent summer storm after her uncle Stanley's death, and the telephone call that comes through on a dead line.Next is Two Thousand Plus and "World's Apart," in which rocket engineer Jim Granger talks his way onto Flight 17, the first crewed voyage to Neptune, only for the spaceship Phoenix to be dragged off course by an uncharted comet. Crippled and lost, the ship limps to a landing at a place called Green Valley, where Commander Dijkstra can hear heartbeats across a room, the milk is green, and gravity does not behave the way it should.The Unexpected follows with "Heat Wave," starring Barry Sullivan as Whitey Malone, a fugitive sweating out a 110-degree heat wave in a fifth-floor garret while the police close in — and burning to settle accounts with the woman he thinks tipped them off.Then Unsolved Mysteries brings "Indian Fakir," a story told at the United Services Club in Simla, where a colonel recounts what happened when his young English bride, alone in their Bangalore bungalow, tried to outsmart a fakir who demanded a strand of her hair — and handed him threads pulled from a Chinese rug instead.Dark Venture presents "Elizabeth Is Frightened," with Joan Banks as a wealthy woman who marries Philip Bailey, a widower fascinated by the power of one mind to dominate another.

Soren Monroe-Anderson grew up racing FPV drones before turning that obsession into Neros, a defense startup building low-cost, high-volume drone systems for the United States and its allies. What began with prototypes in a basement has become a 200-person company producing roughly 1,000 drones a week, with plans to build a factory capable of making one million annually. The timing is difficult to ignore. Small drones have become one of the defining weapons of the war in Ukraine, China holds a massive production advantage and the Pentagon is now trying to catch up in a category it was slow to take seriously. We get into why so many American drones failed in Ukraine, what separates a good demo from a battlefield-ready product, and why Soren believes the next generation of weapons will look more like consumer electronics than traditional defense systems. We also discuss the limits of autonomy, the difficulty of manufacturing at scale, and the moral weight of building kinetic systems. We cover: The widening drone production gap between the United States and China What Ukraine has taught Neros about battlefield performance, tactics, and product design Why scaling from prototypes to one million drones a year is an entirely different engineering problem Where autonomy helps, where it breaks, and why human pilots still matter How Soren thinks about talent, focus, capital, and the ethics of building weapons • Chapters • 00:00 – Plants at the factory 00:55 – Strawberry jam on a drone 04:45 – Soren's and Olaf's background 07:28 – First meeting with the DoD 08:54 – The key to Soren's early success 10:00 – How do you push the boundaries of a small drone? 11:39 – The most successful technology in Ukraine 13:45 – The future of warfare 15:09 – Chinese vs. US drone manufacturing capabilities 18:42 – Neros's facility and current production process 20:30 – What surprised Soren about building Neros 22:06 – How Soren thinks about competing in a well-funded market 23:50 – What makes the talent side so challenging 27:05 – Revenue concentration 28:12 – Are defense tech companies living up to their promises? 30:19 – Nervous or excited about the changing investor in defense tech? 32:12 – $120M raised and future capital needs in the near term 33:19 – Would Neros expand beyond drones? 34:22 – Where the primes fit in with manufacturing drones 36:30 – How Neros views AI in their products 41:41 – From professional drone racer to CEO 43:23 – Key players early on in Neros 45:28 – Does Soren still build drones or is he more focused on running Neros? 47:07 – Cultivating company culture 48:46 – Wrestling with building lethal systems 50:21 – Soren's health scare 51:28 – The morality critics on drone warfare 54:17 – How can the US win the drone production race? 55:45 – What keeps Soren up at night? 56:51 – Advice Soren would give to himself 58:05 – Factory of the future 59:31 – What Soren does for fun   • Show notes • Neros' website — https://www.neros.tech/ Soren's' socials — https://x.com/soren_ma Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

This week, the D2DLP virtual studio feels like a giant pizza oven, Beth and Vanessa are officially melting and things are getting even more unhinged than usual.  While Beth barely maintains her sanity in France with the help of "Olaf" (her tiny, pathetic desk fan) and Vanessa tries to remain a functional human in the German heatwave, the duo is diving into the biggest news affecting the resort right now. We're talking about the unprecedented heat-related changes at Disneyland Paris, from halted outdoor attractions to fireworks bans and the very serious debate on whether Disney should offer a little "cool down" compensation for guests. But don't worry—we're balancing the doom and gloom with some major magic! We are so excited to share an absolutely epic trip report from listener Dallas. Whether it's dodging body-checkers during the fireworks, surviving the "freezer pizza" dining experience, or having a genuinely sweet moment with Phantom Mickey, Dallas's recap is the hero's journey we all needed. Plus, we're tackling the big questions: What do you do when your Pirates of the Caribbean ride ends with a soggy bottom? And is it possible to actually fall asleep in Phantom Manor? (Spoiler: It's a survival mechanism, trust us.) Grab a cold drink, find the nearest air-conditioned room (or a dark, cool cave like a sensible penguin), and settle in for our wildest (and hottest) catch-up yet! Got a trip report? A "wet-butt" confession? Send your stories to by email at dlp@dedicatedtodlp.com. We read them all!! ✨ Stay in the loop: Head to dedicatedtodlp.com for show notes and updates.

On today's episode Don Hollway takes us back to see 'the Viking's Viking', King Olaf I, in the year when his dramatic story reached its mysterious climax. Olaf is a heavyweight figure in Norse history. Rising out of obscurity, he travelled widely before experiencing a profound Christian rebirth on the Isles of Scilly. From thereon one of his central motives in life was the conversion of the Norse people to the Christian faith. There were many battles, of course, along the way. In this episode Hollway looks at the fateful one that took place late in the year 1000. It was at the Battle of Svolder that Olaf vanished, presumed dead.  Find out more about Don Hollway's Hammer of the Gods: King Olaf's Viking Conquest. Read his article about Olaf at Unseen Histories.
