Bienvenue dans La Traque de l'auteur de l'un des attentats les plus traumatisants de l'histoire européenne contemporaine : Anders Breivik. Le 22 juillet 2011, la Norvège est frappée par une double attaque terroriste : une explosion à Oslo, puis une fusillade sur l'île d'Utoya. En quelques heures, 77 personnes sont tuées. Derrière ces attentats se trouve Anders Breivik, un homme solitaire et radicalisé qui a préparé son projet pendant des années dans le plus grand secret. Après le drame, les autorités tentent de comprendre comment il a pu organiser seul l'une des pires attaques de l'histoire du pays. Entre radicalisation et obsession idéologique, La Traque d'Anders Breivik retrace le parcours de cet homme et l'enquête qui a suivi.

had discussed.No: Sammen, med nyvunnet inspirasjon, dro de fra museet.En: Together, with newfound inspiration, they left the museum.No: Både Lars og Ingrid var klar over at møtet deres ikke bare hadde gitt dem en dypere forståelse av Munchs kunst, men også en oppdagelse av hverandre og av hva de kunne være i stand til å skape sammen.En: Both Lars and Ingrid were aware that their meeting had not only given them a deeper understanding of Munch's art, but also a discovery of each other and of what they might be capable of creating together.

Frank and Jay reconvene a week after the Spring Fling to debrief the prime rib, the perfectly timed thunderstorm, and the InBody machine that exposed Frank's visceral fat number. Jay walks through why subcutaneous fat is largely cosmetic, why visceral fat is the real metabolic concern, and why intermittent fasting plus protein pacing beats simple caloric restriction. Then the brain section gets weird. Listener emails arrive about Foreign Accent Syndrome: a 70 year old American who started speaking with a Norwegian accent before dying of a brain tumor, a Massachusetts stroke patient who woke up sounding like she was from Oslo. Frank pulls up Cotard's, the walking corpse syndrome where the sufferer is unshakably convinced they are dead and putrefying, and Capgras, where loved ones become identical imposters. A coma survivor writes in about six weeks of demons in his peripheral vision after a ten day medically induced blackout. The second hour pivots to the America 250 concert collapse. Brett Michaels, Martina McBride, Milli Vanilli, and the Commodores pulled out, so Frank and Jay reopen the lines and book a better lineup live on air, decade by decade, with the help of callers.

"One of the first things that jumped out at me about this recording was the sheer joy it conveyed, slight warts & all. I love the off note in the initial section of the piece, and started off with the notion of taking that discordance & slowly bringing it into harmony. That was stymied however, by initial processing of the discordant note resulting in something beautiful."The other striking aspect of the recording is that although the brass band is the main focus here, at points extraneous sounds - conversation, handling noise, wind - end up louder than it. I wanted to extend that experience, and deliberately hide the delightful main point of focus behind other sounds which might or might not match or harmonise."To this end, I extracted and processed lots of sound from the recording, added some synthesiser lines & extra percussion, and arranged to taste."Multicultural celebration parade in Oslo reimagined by Andrew Tulloch.

At Aker Brygge on a Saturday afternoon in Oslo, a parade kicks off celebrating the muticulturalism of the city, with representation from many different groups and countries, all of whom are communities living there. The parade sets off to walk through the city centre with a celebratory tone, and in this recording many different groups walk past, with multiple forms of music including a brass band, drum troupe and various other types of percussion and music from around the world.Recorded by Cities and Memory.

Today we were delighted to host Karl Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP, in our offices in Houston. Karl has served as CEO since 2014 and has overseen a period of significant growth and transformation at Aker BP. We were thrilled to hear Karl's insights on operational excellence, artificial intelligence, data architecture, and the future of oil and gas. As you'll hear, Aker BP has built a differentiated operating model centered on productivity, long-term alliance partnerships, and technology deployment. In our conversation, Karl shares how Aker BP has achieved industry-leading operational performance through a relentless focus on continuous improvement, standardized workflows, and deep collaboration with key service providers. He explains why the company believes data should be treated as a strategic asset and how years of investment in data infrastructure have positioned Aker BP to become what he calls the industry's first "AI-native" oil and gas company. We discuss how AI and agentic workflows are already accelerating engineering, operations, and exploration workflows across the company, enabling faster decision-making, improved productivity, and more efficient capital deployment. Karl introduces the concept of “vibe engineering,” the idea that engineering expertise can be codified into AI agents that perform work in parallel, allowing humans to focus more on training, oversight, and optimization. He argues that this shift has the potential to dramatically compress development timelines and fundamentally reshape how oil and gas projects are executed. Karl provides a fascinating perspective on the future of the energy industry, arguing that AI will create a new generation of winners and losers, while increasing the importance of focus, culture, and organizational adaptability. He also shares his views on energy security, the evolving role of Norwegian oil and gas in Europe, and why resilience, not prediction, will be the defining competitive advantage in an increasingly volatile world. We greatly enjoyed the conversation. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that the Iran war has entered its fifteenth week, with markets still largely trading around developments tied to the conflict. He emphasized that this week will be different, as both institutional and retail equity investors shift their attention to the upcoming SpaceX IPO—pricing Thursday. On the oil front, WTI is currently trading at ~$89/bbl, down ~$2 from last week's close. He credited the Trump Administration with effectively maintaining a market narrative that a broader Iran resolution is imminent, which has helped keep WTI range-bound between $85 and $105/bbl. However, he cautioned that this narrative may begin to lose traction as markets head into the peak summer demand season. He also noted a gradual shift in oil strategist discussions toward the post-war landscape, particularly around how quickly shut-in production could return to pre-conflict levels. Turning to equities, he pointed out that the S&P 500 is modestly higher this week following a ~1.5% pullback last week, which ended a nine-week winning streak. He noted early signs of strain in the AI trade, as several semiconductor stocks experienced sharp corrections, prompting a rotation into more defensive sectors. He ended by highlighting that Equinor ASA will host its Capital Markets Day next week, marking the 25th anniversary of its listing on both the Oslo and New York Stock Exchanges. Arjun Murti expanded on the Strait of Hormuz discussion by emphasizing that while no one knows exactly how the situation will unfold, current market stability is being supported by inventory draws, SPR releases, and lower Chinese imports, none of which are sustainable indefinitely. He cautioned that a prolonged disruption would ultimately risk a global recession by forcing significant demand destruction, reinforcing the need for a peaceful resolution and a rapid return of shut-in production. More broadly, he reiterated his "Geopolitical Super Vol" thesis, arguing that companies should stop planning around a single oil price outlook and instead prepare for a wide range of outcomes, from deep downturns to periods of $100+ oil. In his view, the winners will be businesses that can remain profitable through volatility, strengthen their balance sheets during periods of strong cash flow, and capitalize on opportunities when competitors are reluctant to invest.

etter planen.En: As they began the demonstration, everything seemed to go according to plan.No: Men i det Eirik skulle vise den nye komponenten, skjedde det noe uventet.En: But when Eirik was about to show the new component, something unexpected happened.No: I stedet for å mislykkes, som Eirik hadde fryktet, produserte komponenten en overraskende og interessant effekt som fanget alles oppmerksomhet.En: Instead of failing, as Eirik had feared, the component produced a surprising and interesting effect that captured everyone's attention.No: Rommet var fylt med en følelse av forbauselse.En: The room was filled with a sense of amazement.No: Professorene stirret med store øyne.En: The professors stared with wide eyes.No: En av dem, Professor Jensen, smilte anerkjennende.En:

rungende applaus.En: The presentation ended with resounding applause.No: Eirik og Siv delte et lettelsens blikk.En: Eirik and Siv shared a glance of relief.No: Professorene meldte senere at Eirik hadde fått stipendet han så sårt ønsket.En: The professors later announced that Eirik had received the scholarship he so desperately wanted.No: Hans mot til å ta risiko hadde betalt seg.En: His courage to take a risk had paid off.No: Etterpå, mens de forlot laboratoriet, var det med en nyvunnet selvtillit.En: Afterward, as they left the laboratory, it was with newfound confidence.No: Solen skinte fortsatt sterkt, og Eirik kunne for en gangs skyld nyte sommerens varme.En: The sun was still shining brightly, and Eirik could, for once, enjoy the warmth of summer.No: Han hadde forandret seg.En: He had changed.No: Nå viste han at han kunne stole på seg selv, selv når veien fremover var uklar.En: Now he knew he could trust himself, even when the path forward was unclear.No: Slik gikk

How queer men in Kazakhstan navigate dating apps in a context of stigma, surveillance, and limited legal protections. It shows how platforms like Grindr, Hornet, Tinder, and VKontakte function as spaces where trust, visibility, and safety must be continuously negotiated. This episode explores how queer men in Kazakhstan navigate dating apps in contexts shaped by stigma, surveillance, and limited legal protections. Drawing on interviews and platform analysis in Shymkent and Almaty, the research challenges the idea of dating apps as neutral or purely liberating spaces, showing instead how they function as ‘ambivalent infrastructures' where connection is always intertwined with risk. Rather than simple tools for meeting partners, apps like VKontakte, Grindr, Hornet, and Tinder are used as distinct social environments that require careful interpretation and strategy. Users constantly assess authenticity, safety, and potential harm, often moving across multiple platforms, starting with apps, then shifting to messaging services like WhatsApp or Telegram, and using calls and additional checks to verify identity before meeting offline. Set against Kazakhstan's broader socio-political context, where queer visibility can lead to harassment, outing, or violence, the episode highlights how digital intimacy becomes a form of ongoing risk management. It ultimately reframes dating apps not as spaces of free connection, but as complex systems where trust, visibility, and safety must be continuously negotiated. Yerkebulan Sairambay is a scholar at risk based at the Centre for Oriental studies in the University of Tartu (Estonia). His research interests involve, but are not limited to, the following areas of expertise: political participation, new media, civil society, climate change, clan politics, democratisation, queer studies, academic freedom, transitional justice, and nation- and state- building with a particular focus on the countries of post-communist Europe and former Soviet Union. He holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Cambridge, and IMRCEES Erasmus Mundus Master's Double Degrees in Russian, Central and East European studies (University of Glasgow) and political science (Corvinus University of Budapest).

How queer men in Kazakhstan navigate dating apps in a context of stigma, surveillance, and limited legal protections. It shows how platforms like Grindr, Hornet, Tinder, and VKontakte function as spaces where trust, visibility, and safety must be continuously negotiated. This episode explores how queer men in Kazakhstan navigate dating apps in contexts shaped by stigma, surveillance, and limited legal protections. Drawing on interviews and platform analysis in Shymkent and Almaty, the research challenges the idea of dating apps as neutral or purely liberating spaces, showing instead how they function as ‘ambivalent infrastructures' where connection is always intertwined with risk. Rather than simple tools for meeting partners, apps like VKontakte, Grindr, Hornet, and Tinder are used as distinct social environments that require careful interpretation and strategy. Users constantly assess authenticity, safety, and potential harm, often moving across multiple platforms, starting with apps, then shifting to messaging services like WhatsApp or Telegram, and using calls and additional checks to verify identity before meeting offline. Set against Kazakhstan's broader socio-political context, where queer visibility can lead to harassment, outing, or violence, the episode highlights how digital intimacy becomes a form of ongoing risk management. It ultimately reframes dating apps not as spaces of free connection, but as complex systems where trust, visibility, and safety must be continuously negotiated. Yerkebulan Sairambay is a scholar at risk based at the Centre for Oriental studies in the University of Tartu (Estonia). His research interests involve, but are not limited to, the following areas of expertise: political participation, new media, civil society, climate change, clan politics, democratisation, queer studies, academic freedom, transitional justice, and nation- and state- building with a particular focus on the countries of post-communist Europe and former Soviet Union. He holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Cambridge, and IMRCEES Erasmus Mundus Master's Double Degrees in Russian, Central and East European studies (University of Glasgow) and political science (Corvinus University of Budapest).

"I am a runner, so the sounds of people cheering runners instantly makes me smile. I initially thought I would use the a capella singing more than the cheering, but it would up being quite difficult to integrate any of the complex harmonies of that singing with any coherent musical ideas that I might introduce, so I would up focusing on the cheering. "Once I found the samples I wanted to use, I wrote some music to accompany those samples, but later dispensed with all that and created pitched down samples to use for the off-kilter sustained bed throughout most of the track. All the sounds in the song have been sourced from the field recording, with the exception of a couple of the drums and the bass. Most of the percussion was actually sourced from the recording as well. "I kind of doubt they are actually shouting "Give Me Your Toes", but that's what I hear, and it seems like a good name for a track about runners."Singers cheering on Oslo marathon runners reimagined by Tristan Watkins.

Hamza Abu Howidy returns for another Conflicted Conversation. Last time he appeared, he told us his personal story of growing up in Hamas-ruled Gaza, how he was imprisoned and tortured by Hamas for speaking out against their oppression, and how he entered into exile in Germany just before the 7 October attacks changed everything. This time he switches from Gaza to the West Bank, telling Thomas all about the other side of Palestine — a side which goes overlooked, but which is increasingly becoming a zone of almost unbearable conflict. Hamza and Thomas discuss: Settler violence as settler terrorism How Israeli settlements undermine the Oslo process Settlement expansion as a strategy to prevent a Palestinian state The shift from a two-state ideal to a one-state reality The Hardal movement and Smotrich's political world The Hilltop Youth: origins, ideology and violence The dual legal system in the West Bank The Yehuda Shmuel Sherman incident and the revenge attacks that followed E1 and the threat to a viable Palestinian state The West Bank economy after 7 October Palestinian municipal and national elections Israeli elections and the lack of hope for political change Israel's post-7 October security doctrine The Board of Peace and the problem of Hamas disarmament Arab disillusionment with resistance ideology Find Hamza on X: https://x.com/HowidyHamza Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠ ⁠And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
