For many native Hawaiians, the centerpiece of just about any New Year's celebration is onaga, a fish that's also known as ruby snapper or longtail red snapper. It's served at everything from weddings to birthdays, but it's especially popular at year-end celebrations—in part because it's a symbol of good fortune. It's prized for its light pink flesh, mild flavor, and its texture—all of which are considered just right for sashimi. Onaga is one of the “deep seven” bottomfish—a culturally important group that includes six species of snapper and one species of grouper. All seven species are found throughout the Hawaiian Islands. A snapper known as ‘ōpakapaka is the most common, accounting for about half of the annual catch. Onaga ranks second. Adult onaga generally are about two to two-and-a-half feet long and weigh up to about 18 pounds, although they can grow to twice that weight. The top half of the body is red or pink, while the underside is white. The fish are found above rocky sea floors throughout the tropical Pacific Ocean, usually at depths of no more than a thousand feet. Commercial fishing decimated many of the bottomfish stocks during the middle of the 20th century. Today, the bottomfish are protected by both state and federal regulations. Commercial fishers are limited to hook-and-sinker operations—no nets allowed. That's helped the population rebound—ensuring happy New Year celebrations for years to come. The post Holiday Greetings appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

"Salt water reverberations and soundscapes are a daily and necessary embodied element of my life by and on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, Southern California. As a woman from Britain living in SoCal, I connect with the sea caves sounds in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, England, being soothed and inspired by the rhythms, pitches, textures, and timbres of water drops, accompanied by the constant roar outside the sea caves. "With Cornish marine sounds I have added my daily ocean soundscapes: slaps of waves on my coastal rowing boat; sea lions barking on bell buoy (slightly muted by the bodies of sea lions bodies) marking the safe harbor entrance; a train on the nearby shore; little Ourn, a homemade 18-foot wooden sailing boat built in 1931 by a 15-year old lad from Eling, Southampton, England, splashing through the waves at 5 knots in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara (and low-tech wind sounds without a wind screen to reminder listeners that sail boats by necessity play with wind power). "Perhaps these aquatic reverberations can offer some solace and connection with salt water surroundings; and senses of stewardship for protection and conservation of water lives." Sea cave at Mawgan Porth reimagined by Ruth Hellier.
In this compelling episode of Surfacing Secrets, Balad'EAU takes you deep beneath the Pacific Ocean to one of the most active and closely observed places on Earth: the Endeavour hydrothermal vent field, operated and monitored by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). Host Lyne Morissette guides us into the dark, dynamic world of the deep seafloor, where tectonic plates pull apart, superheated fluids rise from the Earth's crust, and entire ecosystems thrive without sunlight. This episode explores why Endeavour is one of the rare places where scientists don't just visit the deep ocean — they stay and watch. Join us as we dive into how long-term, real-time observation has transformed our understanding of geology, chemistry, and life in the deep sea. Through this journey, we uncover why protecting and continuously monitoring a site like Endeavour is essential for understanding how our planet works, far beyond what short expeditions can reveal. You'll hear exclusive insights from: Laurence Coogan, Professor and Geochemist, University of Victoria Steve Mihaly, Senior Staff Scientist, Ocean Networks Canada We'll hear firsthand accounts of what it's like to explore a hydrothermal vent field two kilometres below the surface, how remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) navigate a complex three-dimensional world with limited visibility, and why mapping and working in these environments remains one of the greatest challenges in ocean science. Our guests share their experiences studying a system where geology, chemistry, and biology are constantly changing — and why collaboration across disciplines is essential. Learn about: The role of hydrothermal vents in shaping ocean chemistry far beyond the seafloor. How life can thrive without sunlight through chemosynthesis. Why long-term, cabled observatories have revolutionized deep-sea science. How continuous monitoring reveals processes that snapshots can never capture. Through vivid stories, striking examples, and reflections on exploration, Eyes on Endeavour offers a deep dive into one of the planet's most dynamic systems — and into the power of staying long enough to truly understand the ocean.
Deep sea hydrothermal vents reveal a hidden world where life thrives without sunlight, forcing scientists to rethink how ecosystems can exist in extreme heat, pressure, and darkness. Nearly two kilometers beneath the Pacific Ocean, superheated fluids erupt from the seafloor at Endeavour, creating environments that challenge everything we thought we knew about life on Earth and how it survives. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are not isolated deep ocean curiosities, they actively influence the chemistry of the entire Pacific Ocean. In this episode, scientists explain how minerals and iron released at Endeavour can be traced thousands of kilometers across the ocean, fueling productivity far from the vents themselves and connecting deep ocean processes to surface ecosystems in surprising ways. Ocean Networks Canada enables this discovery through one of only two cabled deep-sea observatories in the world, allowing scientists to monitor volcanic activity, chemistry, and biodiversity in real time. This episode explores why Endeavour is one of the most important natural laboratories on the planet, what it teaches us about the origins of life, and how it may even help us understand life beyond Earth. Surprising insight: the fluids released at Endeavour do not disappear into the ocean, they can be chemically traced across the entire Pacific, meaning deep-sea activity shapes ocean life on a planetary scale.

In September, The Intercept broke the story of the U.S. military ordering an additional strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.Since then, U.S. boat strikes have expanded to the Pacific Ocean. The Intercept has documented 22 strikes as of early December that have killed at least 87 people. Alejandro Carranza Medina, a Colombian national, was one of the dozens of people killed in these strikes. His family says he was just out fishing for marlin and tuna when U.S. forces attacked his boat on September 15. On behalf of Medina's family, attorney Dan Kovalik has filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.“We're bringing a petition alleging that the U.S. violated the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, in particular, the right to life, the right to due process, the right to trial, and we're seeking compensation from the United States for the family of Alejandro Carranza, as well as injunctive relief, asking that the U.S. stop these bombings,” Kovalik told The Intercept.In the midst of this massive scandal, the so-called Department of War is cracking down on journalists' ability to cover U.S. military actions. Back in October, Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced major new restrictions on reporters covering the Pentagon. In order to maintain press credentials to enter the Pentagon, journalists would have to sign a 17-page pledge committing to the new rules limiting press corps reporting to explicitly authorized information, including a promise to not gather or seek information the department has not officially released.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington speaks to Kovalik about Medina's case. Intercept senior reporterNick Turse and Gregg Leslie, executive director of the First Amendment Clinic at Arizona State University Law, also join Washington to discuss the strikes off the coast of Latin America, subsequent attacks on shipwrecked survivors, and the administration's response to reporting on U.S. forces and the Pentagon.Leslie raised concerns about the administration's attempts to erase press freedoms. “It's just that fundamental issue of, who gets to cover the government? Is it only government-sanctioned information that gets out to the people, or is it people working on behalf of the United States public who get to really hold people to account and dive deep for greater information? And all of that is being compromised, if there's an administration that says, ‘We get to completely put a chokehold on any information that we don't want to be released,'” says Leslie. “You just don't have a free press if you have to pledge that you're not going to give away information just because it hasn't been cleared. It just shouldn't work that way, and it hasn't worked that way. And it's frightening that we've gotten an administration trying to make that the norm.”With a president who regularly targets journalists and critics, Turse adds, “What's to stop a lawless president from killing people in America that he deems to be domestic terrorists? … These boat strikes, the murders of people convicted of no crimes, if they become accepted as normal. There's really nothing to stop the president from launching such attacks within the United States.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing onApple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Venezuela dominates the headlines, but very little attention is paid to what life is like inside the country.In September, the Trump administration began a series of strikes targeting what U.S. officials call "narcoterrorists" in small vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. Those strikes are ongoing and have killed more than 80 people. Then, in October, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.She's been in hiding since last year, when Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro claimed victory in an election widely seen as fraudulent.Machado is expected to receive her award on Wednesday, in Oslo. And if she does, she might not be let back into her country. Machado, who supports the Trump administration's campaign in the region, says the end of the Maduro regime is imminent.While the world is focused on Oslo and María Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize. We wanted to get the view from inside her country. We speak with a journalist in Venezuela about what daily life is like.

In the 1820s, American entrepreneurs, engineers, and politicians dared to dream big. They believed they could cut a canal, not through Panama, but through the wild, rain-soaked terrain of Nicaragua. Their goal: To link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and transform global trade forever. But what inspired these ambitious "canal dreamers?” And why did they believe Nicaragua held the key to controlling the future of commerce? Jessica Lepler, Associate Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire and author of Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions, joins us to explore this nearly forgotten story of innovation, illusion, and international ambition in early American history.

Greg discusses the new developments and shares his thoughts on due process and international enforcement.
A thrilling tour of Earth that shows the search for extraterrestrial life starts in our own backyard.Is there life off Earth? Bound by the limitations of spaceflight, a growing number of astrobiologists investigate the question by studying life on our planet. Astronomer and author Jon Willis shows us how it's done, allowing readers to envision extraterrestrial landscapes by exploring their closest Earth analogs in The Pale Blue Data Point: An Earth-Based Perspective on the Search for Alien Life (U Chicago Press, 2025). With Willis, we dive into the Pacific Ocean from the submersible-equipped E/V Nautilus to ponder the uncharted seas of Saturn's and Jupiter's moons; search the Australian desert for some of Earth's oldest fossils and consider the prospects for a Martian fossil hunt; visit mountaintop observatories in Chile to search for the telltale twinkle of extrasolar planets; and eavesdrop on dolphins in the Bahamas to imagine alien minds.With investigations ranging from meteorite hunting to exoplanet detection, Willis conjures up alien worlds and unthought-of biological possibilities, speculating what life might look like on other planets by extrapolating from what we can see on Earth, our single “pale blue dot”—as Carl Sagan famously called it—or, in Willis's reframing, scientists' “pale blue data point.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Lost civilizations like Lemuria, Ys, Thule, Iram of the Pillars, and Agartha are fascinating tales that often blend myth and mystery. Lemuria, believed by some to have existed in the Indian or Pacific Ocean, is shrouded in legends of advanced beings. Ys, a mythical city submerged off the coast of Brittany, is said to have fallen due to a tragic love story. Thule, mentioned in ancient texts, is often associated with hyperborean regions and sometimes linked to Nordic mythology. Iram of the Pillars, mentioned in the Quran, is a lost city punished for its residents' arrogance. Agartha, a mythical underground realm, is part of esoteric beliefs suggesting a hidden world beneath the Earth's surface. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pearl Harbor, the turning point in American history. Long before December 7, 1941, the collision between two Pacific powers had already begun. Manchuria had fallen to Imperial Japan in 1931, marking the start of Japan's empire push across China. The United States, publicly neutral, watched war spread while trying to stay out of global conflict. But by 1941, diplomacy broke down. After Japan moved into French Indochina, the U.S. answered with crippling oil embargoes that threatened Japan's military ambitions, leaving its leaders convinced war was the only path to secure resources like those in the Dutch East Indies.On November 26, 1941, a strike fleet built around six carriers under Admiral Chuichi Nagumo slipped into the Pacific Ocean under radio silence, heading toward a target few considered possible: Hawaii. In Washington, leaders knew war was imminent through broken diplomatic codes, but nothing pinpointed the exact time or place. At Pearl Harbor, defenses were relaxed, planes parked tight at airfields, and anti-aircraft crews off rotation—ready for sabotage, not annihilation.At 7:55 a.m., Commander Mitsuo Fuchida signaled the raid with “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, unleashing a two-hour nightmare. Torpedoes smashed hulls, bombs detonated steel, and Battleship Row burned. Pilots attacked at sunrise, one timing mistake putting the rising sun directly in American defenders' view, and later claims even surfaced that the glare briefly impaired their approach. The result was devastating—and unifying. But decades later, the question remains a ghost story wrapped in cipher smoke: did the U.S. government know more than it said?Tonight, around the digital campfire, we explore the lead-up, the attack, and the theories www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Yvonne Blomer about her stunning narrative poetry, Death of Persephone: A Murder (Caitlin Press, 2024). In Death of Persephone, the patriarchal myth of the maiden taken, raped, and made the potent and sexualized queen of the underworld is questioned, altered, flipped. Instead, we have Stephanie, a girl of seven, taken and raised by her Uncle H. who is obsessed by her, tries to control her, to keep her, to have her even as she blooms out from underneath him.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Yvonne Blomer about her stunning narrative poetry, Death of Persephone: A Murder (Caitlin Press, 2024). In Death of Persephone, the patriarchal myth of the maiden taken, raped, and made the potent and sexualized queen of the underworld is questioned, altered, flipped. Instead, we have Stephanie, a girl of seven, taken and raised by her Uncle H. who is obsessed by her, tries to control her, to keep her, to have her even as she blooms out from underneath him.

Amidst a flourish of media about Paddle Tribal Waters, a new film has published from Oregon Public Broadcasting & Jessie Sears, giving focus to the 2025 source to sea run completed by the indigenous teens of PTW. The film, “First Descent: Kayaking the Klamath”, is there to meet the paddlers at the Pacific Ocean when they complete their journey, is with them along the river and the film also engages with the families of the paddlers to hear their perceptions of their kid's work and pursuits. And finally, the film's producer, Jessie Sears, is a member of the Karuk Tribe from the Klamath River basin, and by creating this film, she is exploring her own connections with this river and these families.

In 2023 and 2024, four out of six dams on the Klamath River were taken out, in the largest dam removal project in US history. Tribes in the Klamath Basin had been fighting for dam removal for more than a century. This summer, a group of Indigenous youth from multiple tribes made the first descent of the river from its headwaters in Southern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California since the dams came out — by kayak. Many of the kayakers had trained for over two years with the program Paddle Tribal Waters. Jessie Sears, Karuk tribal member and OPB “Oregon Field Guide” producer for Indigenous communities, was there for part of the 300-plus mile, 30-day journey to help document this historic moment. She joins us to talk about the First Descent, how the river has changed, and what it all meant to the Indigenous youth carrying on their ancestors’ work. - For more episodes of The Evergreen, and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Constituye una fuente de ingresos clave para Panamá a través de los peajes que se cobran a los barcos que pasan por el canal. La construcción del Canal de Panamá representó una monumental hazaña de ingeniería que exigió superar importantes retos, como un terreno accidentado, densas selvas tropicales y la necesidad de atravesar la divisoria continental. El dólar estadounidense ha sido una de las monedas oficiales de Panamá durante más de un siglo. Su uso se remonta a principios del siglo XX, durante la construcción del Canal de Panamá, cuando se convirtió en la moneda preferida dentro de la Zona del Canal de Panamá. Ciudad de Panamá, la vibrante capital de Panamá, está rodeada de verdes reservas naturales y espacios verdes. El Parque Nacional Metropolitano, de aproximadamente 232 hectáreas dentro de los límites de la ciudad, destaca por ser uno de los pocos parques urbanos del mundo que cuenta con un bosque tropical húmedo. Panamá alberga más de 10.000 especies de plantas, 1.500 de árboles y unas 1.000 de aves, lo que la convierte en un paraíso para los ornitólogos. Sus selvas tropicales están repletas de fauna exótica, como perezosos, monos, jaguares, tapires y un sinfín de reptiles y anfibios. Hay 3 volcanes en Panamá. Entre los volcanes más notables de Panamá están el Volcán Barú, el Volcán de Chiriquí y el Volcán El Valle. El Volcán Barú, situado cerca de la frontera con Costa Rica, en la provincia de Chiriquí, es el pico más alto de Panamá, con una altura aproximada de 3.474 metros. Aunque se considera inactivo más que activo, sigue siendo un importante accidente geológico de la región. Panamá tiene la segunda mayor zona franca del mundo. La Zona Libre de Colón, situada cerca de la ciudad de Colón, en la costa caribeña de Panamá, ocupa más de 1.000 hectáreas y se considera un importante centro de comercio internacional. Como una de las mayores zonas francas del mundo, la ZLC es un motor económico vital para Panamá, que atrae a miles de empresas internacionales y genera importantes ingresos para el país. Su ubicación estratégica cerca del Canal de Panamá y su acceso a las principales rutas marítimas la convierten en un centro de distribución ideal para las mercancías destinadas a los mercados de toda América y más allá.My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

//The Wire//2300Z November 17, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS TAKE PLACE IN MEXICO CITY OVER THE WEEKEND AS PRESSURE MOUNTS ON SHEINBAUM. ICE OPERATIONS PIVOT TO CHARLOTTE NC AS SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE IS EXPECTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Mexico: Weekend protests turned to riots on Saturday, as various groups expressed their concerns with government.Analyst Comment: Most of the demonstrations in Mexico City remained fairly low-intensity (by local standards), however a few riots did break out throughout the day. These demonstrations are a continuation of the global trend of "Gen Z" protests, with many of the participants demonstrating for a wide array of causes, many of which are contradictory political ideologies. Nevertheless, all of the negative sentiment was focused on Sheinbaum, as dissent grows with her handling of Cartel violence throughout the nation.Caribbean: The situation continues as before, with a few strikes being conducted on narco vessels over the past few days by the US Navy. In Venezuela tensions remain the same, with Maduro making more public appearances than normal, mostly commenting on the rising tensions with the United States. Over the weekend Maduro serenaded an audience with an impromptu performance of *Imagine* by John Lennon during remarks urging a peaceful outcome to the conflict.Analyst Comment: If Maduro is attempting to soothe his population in order to reassure them that an all-out war is not about to break out, there are probably less disturbing ways to go about it. Either way, this embarrassing display probably does convey the seriousness of the situation, considering that Maduro knows the US is gunning for regime change.-HomeFront-Washington - Over the weekend the US Coast Guard successfully conducted a rescue of stranded boaters who were reported overdue after failing to return from their trip. A man and his son became stranded after their boat capsized in rough weather in the Pacific Ocean near the mouth of the Columbia River. The boaters were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter out of Air Station Astoria on the Oregon side of the river, and transported to a hospital where both were treated for hypothermia.Analyst Comment: Considering the cold water temperatures this time of year, it is undoubtedly a miracle both survived. This incident also highlights the importance of establishing (and sticking to) an Overdue Boater plan when carrying out outdoor activities, especially as we move into the winter months where Search and Rescue operations present many more challenges nationwide.North Carolina: Counter-ICE operations have intensified as deportation operations move to Charlotte as part of Operation CHARLOTTE'S WEB. So far over a hundred illegals with extensive criminal records have been arrested throughout the city since the operation began a few days ago.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Charlotte, a very interesting development was observed over the weekend as ICE moved into the area. The Compare Foods grocery store announced free home delivery of grocery items during the period of time that the ICE operation is expected to take place. This food store primarily serves the Latino community and most of their social media posts are in Spanish. While they don't explicitly state it in their social media posts, the implication is clear...this company intends to cash in on the illegals who are ordering goods from home, because they're wanted by ICE.As it stands, this is probably a PR stunt, but efforts like this put everyone in a tough spot. If the feds arrest the store management for aiding and abetting, the city will burn for nothing and the same local Charlotte judges who regularly let murders go free will absolutely let a grocery store manager go free as well. On the other hand, if the feds do nothing, t
Our third and final interview segment with long distance paddler Carmen PerezToday we'll hear the third and final segment of my interview with Carmen Perez, a long distance paddler who recently traveled 1200 miles in her canoe with her dog, Zuri.They traveled for two months, from the headwaters of the Columbia River in British Columbia to Clatsop Spit in Oregon, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean.
Welcome to this incendiary, shocking and investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up!As we rapidly approach the end of the calendar year, we're so glad that you've joined us!Share us with a friend. We're being actively downloaded in 146 countries, globally.Contact us at: prizzo@rpgconsultingltd.comTonight, we examine the concept and legality of governmental extra-judicial killings — summarily executing people. Extrajudicial killing is the deliberate killing of a person without legal authority from a judicial process.It is “extra” “judicial” … or outside the scope of the normal route where a person is arrested, charged and given a trial before a verdict is rendered.In fact, as we go to air with this episode, the Trump administration has embarked on a deadly serious campaign of openly targeting and killing people who have only been clandestinely labeled as “drug smugglers” — within the administration's small, secretive, circle without offering any hard evidence, nor extending to these people a single solitary ounce of due process of law.At the time of recording, since the 1st of September, when President Trump announced the first strike on a boat he claimed – without providing evidence – killed 11 “Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists” under the control of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, through the end of October, the U.S. had claimed to have killed 64 alleged drug smugglers on 16 boats.This situation is fluid and difficult to track, however, to date, since September 2, Donald Trump has summarily executed 70 civilians suspected of drug trafficking in 17 separate airstrikes in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean.The administration admitted in a closed-door briefing to Congress that they don't even know the identities of the people they've killed. How in the hell is this possible? Congress has abdicated its power(s), duties and responsibilities to the public.To support our claims — as evidence, we'll provide historical examples of other governmental extra-judicial murderous actions.And we ask the question has America under Trump become even more of a pariah on the world's stage?We'll expose the risky behavior in how governmental extra-judicial killings trigger a cascade of destabilizing consequences across legal, political, social and psychological domains.These effects can:— erode democracy and democratic institutions— inflict trauma on the populace— and can perpetuate further cycles of deadly violence.Two people who survived boat bombings were released back to their home countries because the Trump administration lacked sufficient evidence to even arrest them.In the words of one member of Congress who attended the briefing, “This is just murder.”We are shining the antiseptic light of the truth further exposing Trump's illegal killing spree. Some analysts now believe Trump has tasked “his generals” with planning a full-scale regime change war against Venezuela.So much for Trump's campaign claim of never entering into endless wars.Democracy is dying right in front of us.Justice isn't about laws … it's about lives!In a time of crisis — facts matter most!Tune out the world and tune-in to Light ‘Em Up — Right here and right now!Also, please tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!
This episode is available for subscribers to watch in vision on The Adventure Podcast+ substack.Episode 214 of The Adventure Podcast features solo sailor and triple amputee, Craig Wood. Craig's life changed at 18 years old when, three months into his first military tour, he lost both legs and his left hand in an explosion in Afghanistan. It took eight months for him to learn to walk again. He recently made history by becoming the world's first triple amputee to sail solo, nonstop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean. In this episode, Craig talks to Matt about trauma, radical acceptance, and the pursuit of contentment instead of happiness. They unpack how Craig rebuilt his life through Paralympic sailing, discovered peace living aboard a boat with his young family, and learned to find meaning in waiting, patience, and purpose. For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack. You can also follow along and join in on Instagram @theadventurepodcast.Chapter Breakdown00:00 - Craig recalls the explosion in 2009 that left him a triple amputee, his surreal coma hallucinations, and the first moments of realising life would never be the same.07:00 - A powerful turning point: Craig's mother challenges him to take action rather than despair. He begins the long road of rehab, learning independence and resilience.10:00 - Introduced to Paralympic sailing while in recovery, Craig rediscovers competition, identity, and hope - leading him to represent his country and dream of open water.13:00 - After Paralympic sailing is cut from the Games, Craig pivots, buying his own boat and setting his sights on the ocean.16:00 - Matt and Craig dive into what it's really like to live aboard with his wife and two small children; balancing risk, love, and the constant hum of adventure.23:00 - Craig recounts his 7,500-mile solo voyage from Mexico to Japan; the storms, the stillness, the pizza-making, and the lessons in solitude and self-sufficiency.33:00 - They discuss how society defines disability, the importance of trying over assuming limits, and how Craig's story challenges ideas of what's possible.45:00 - Craig opens up about raising £68,000 for veterans' charities, finding meaning in contribution, and sailing not just for himself but for others.53:00 - Reflections on fatherhood, partnership, and what true contentment means; the quiet power of being “okay” rather than endlessly chasing happiness.59:00 - Craig and Matt wrap up on how adventure can rebuild a life - not through escape, but through deep engagement with the world, family, and self.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland. And finally, Just Security's co-editor in chief, Tess Bridgeman, joins to analyze what the law says— and doesn't say-- about blowing up boats in international waters without a clear justification or congressional authorization.Further reading: Judge Wolf's piece in The Atlantic: Why I Am Resigning.

//The Wire//2300Z November 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TRIBAL TENSIONS INCREASE IN MINNEAPOLIS AFTER ELECTION LOSS. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ENDS AFTER FAA CLOSES AIRSPACE TO PRIVATE JETS. TERROR ATTACK IN INDIA KILLS 10X IN DELHI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: This morning the Pentagon announced two more kinetic strikes on narco-vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. 6x people were KIA as a result of the strike.India: This morning at least one (possibly more) Vehicle-Borne IED(s) were detonated at the Red Fort monument in Delhi. 8-10x people were killed during the attack, and dozens more wounded. Reports initially stated that one VBIED was the primary attack vector, however throughout the day reports emerged that up to 3x separate VBIEDs might have been involved. However, it is not clear as to if these other vehicles exploded because of their proximity to the original blast seat, or if they were separate VBIEDs altogether. The American Embassy in Delhi has issued a security notice, warning of additional attacks. Indian authorities have also observably increased security at other sites around the country, and 3x people have been arrested in conjunction with the attack.Analyst Comment: The culprit of the attack is not yet known. The choice of target, Red Fort (an old fortification from the Mughal Empire) doesn't really provide any indication either, since there's nothing really that political about the site. Some locals have claimed that the entire affair was not a terror attack, but an industrial accident. Considering the social media situation at present, it's not possible to determine the truth of the matter. However, the US State Department immediately issuing a travel notice indicates that this probably wasn't an accident.Right now it looks like this was a genuine terror attack, and this target was chosen simply due to this monument being a popular site among locals; there are always large crowds at this venue and it's very easy to get a vehicle in the middle of a crowd there. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, however lately Indian officials have been cracking down on ISIS-K militants which have been aided by Pakistan. In short, India backs the Taliban in Afghanistan, while Pakistan backs ISIS-K (which oppose the Taliban) in Afghanistan as well. As such, it's very likely that this attack is the latest development in the proxy war between the two nations, which has become increasingly more complicated over the years. India will be quick to blame Pakistan (which is probably not completely inaccurate), but at this point the entire proxy war between the two nations is so muddled that it's hard to discern who did what.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Following the loss of Omar Fateh in his race for Mayor of Minneapolis, tribal conflict has begun to simmer in the city. In a speech that was given in the Somali language only, Rep. Ilhan Omar expressed hostility towards the members of other Somali clans, which sided with Omar's opponent during the election. She openly called for casting out these other tribes from Minneapolis, and chastised those who translated her speeches into English...and thus revealing what she said.Utah: A large high-density housing complex under construction burned down yesterday. A catastrophic structure fire was reported at the facility under construction in Lehi, in the Traverse Mountain area. No cause of the fire has been released, but the facility burned completely to the ground.Washington D.C. - The FAA has announced more airspace restrictions due to the shortage of air traffic controllers. Private planes have been banned from 12x major airports around the country, in an effort to reduce the strain on control towers, most of which are running skeleton crews during off-peak hours. Shortly after the announcement of this policy was posted by the National Business
The aviation hero Amelia Earhart, who became one of the world's most famous women during the Great Depression, is one of those historic figures that people think they know quite well.But during her lifetime, much of her public image was the product of a New York book publisher. And even today, Earhart's legacy is reduced down to seemingly strange disappearance over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage that Made an American Icon, joins Greg on this week's show to untangle her surprising and even provocative true story -- as a young midwestern woman who embodied the possibilties of flight through the persona of 'Lady Lindy' even though the lofty ambitions of her publisher (and lover) George Putnam often placed her in dangerous situations.And New York City figures into both her story -- and that of early American flight. From the airfields of Governors Island to the Greenwich Village settlement house which became her home.ALSO: What really did happen to Amelia Earhart? Her biographer has the answer.This episode was edited by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The bulldozing of the East Wing of the White House late last week was shocking to much of the nation, Mary and Andrew included. They begin there with concerns, not only about preserving its rich history, but the ethical and legal questions that arise from the president using private donations to fund this ballroom build, and how the Anti-Deficiency Act might apply. Next, an update on National Guard deployments in the California case and the 9th Circuit's issue of a temporary stay in Portland as they consider an en banc review. And last up, the boat strikes keep coming in the Caribbean -- and now in the Pacific, as the president continues to escalate tensions. Mary and Andrew address the thorny legal issues at play when the U.S. military kills suspected traffickers in international waters.A note to listeners: Since this episode was recorded, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced another set of boat strikes in the Pacific ocean that killed 14 people. Further reading: Here is the Letter from several Democratic Senators raising concerns about donations to the ballroom that Mary and Andrew spoke about. Want to listen to this show without ads?

Tensions are high after President Trump ordered a military strike on a boat in the Pacific Ocean this week. It's the latest in a series of attacks on vessels the administration has accused of carrying illicit drugs out of Venezuela. The president says these attacks are intended to stop narcoterrorists, despite Venezuela's minor role in the drug trade. Could the real driver behind this campaign be the type of regime change Trump often railed against?An estimated seven million Americans marched across the country in the second round of the “No Kings” protest. Participants voiced their frustrations with the Trump administration and its policies. Some Republican leaders dismissed the protests and its anti-Trump messaging. Do they run the risk of making the same mistakes Democrats made as the Tea Party gained notoriety?The nationwide redistricting push is the motivating force behind California's Proposition 50. The ballot measure could completely reshape the state's electoral maps. Our panel answers one listener's question about how to approach the measure, and the “moral confusion” the redistricting fight has introduced.
Sources tell ABC News the White House's entire East Wing will be demolished, contrary to some of President Trump's earlier claims. A military strike in the Pacific Ocean opens up a new front in the war on drugs. And ABC gets an exclusive look at Google's new step in “quantum computing.” Learn more about your ad choices.
