Milano Cortina 2026 has announced its Olympic Opening Cermony theme and details around the event, which might be more complicated than Paris 2024's spectacle along the Seine. With four locations, a lot could happen, but it means more athletes will be able to take part in the Parade of Nations. Also, NBC adds to its primetime commentator lineup, Ester Ledecka makes a decision, and the International Ski & Snowboard federation makes a decision about whether Russian and Belarussian skiers can compete as neutrals. Plus, we thought that all of the construction for Milano Cortina 2026 was under control, but there's one project that is way behind schedule. We have a new novela--and the dramatic details!   For a transcript of this episode, please visit http://flamealivepod.com.   Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!   *** Keep the Flame Alive: Obsessed with the Olympics and Paralympics?

Lucy Graham is today's guest on the Paddling the Blue podcast. Lucy fostered a love for outdoor and environmental education and guiding programs early on and that led her to undertake the trip of a lifetime along the Inside Passage. She and her friend Mathilde added a twist, making the trip single-use plastic free.  In today's episode, we talk about that trip and her follow up source to sea solo of the Yukon by canoe.   Passage Adventures The Film - Changing Tides

Doug Cooper has worked as an instructor, coaching and guiding for over 35 years, with a passion for sharing knowledge in a way that empowers others to develop their skills, experience and confidence to achieve their outdoor goals. For the last 25 years, a focus of Doug's coaching has been paddlesport coach/leadership development where he provides training/assessment courses to support future instructors. His specialism is sea kayaking and in this he has published Sea Kayak Handling and Rough Water Sea Kayak Handling, both books designed to support paddlers to develop their skills; this to hopefully take them on trips they aspire to achieve. Doug's passion is sharing knowledge and doing this by taking people to good places, to do good things when sea kayaking! https://scottishseakayaking.co.uk/ Paddling smart – the technical and tactical consideration for working with your kayak and the environment to make life easier. This podcast conversation will use turning in the wind as the basis to explore the concept of how if we ‘listen to our kayak' and ‘feel what our kayak' wants to do and how it is interacting with the environment, it will help us become more efficient in our paddling. This, done by considering how things like speed, trim and timing can be used as tactics to make turning in the wind easier by helping the kayak do what it naturally wants to do in the wind; then considering which technical strokes we can then add to aid this further. Having explored this as a concept, we finish the conversation by considering how this can then be taken into other environments, perhaps rock hopping, tide or surf; and maybe adding further tactical considerations of angle, positioning and edge while always listening and feeling what the kayak wants to do and then adding technical strokes to help it. It's all about understanding what works and then ‘paddling smart' to hopefully make life easier! To download the transcript for this episode click here.

Clay interviews Montana adventurer Norm Miller, who has undertaken truly heroic canoe and kayak journeys on great rivers of the West. When he was 35, he retraced Scottish trader Alexander Mackenzie's 1789 2,000-mile journey from Lake Athabasca to the Arctic Ocean. When he was 41, during the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Norm floated from St. Louis all the way to Astoria, Oregon, leaving his modified canoe only when there was no longer anything to float, and then making his way overland with a 45-pound backpack. Both stories are amazing — a lone man threading some of the most powerful rivers on the North American continent, keeping a daily journal, taking thousands of old school photographs, affirming the geographic descriptions in the journals of Lewis and Clark and Alex Mackenzie, and meeting very interesting roadside groups and individuals. This episode was recorded on September 13, 2025.

What does it mean to reconnect with your river, your culture, and your courage — all through the power of kayaking? In this episode of The Discomfort Zone, I sit down with Ruby Williams, a Quartz Valley tribal member and Kuduk person raised along the banks of the Klamath River in Happy Camp, California. Ruby's paddling journey began in 2022 with Paddle Tribal Waters, and has since taken her from the first full descent of the 310-mile Klamath, to training in Chile, Canada, and Africa. Ruby shares how kayaking has transformed her relationship with fear, taught her the power of choosing her own challenges, and deepened her connection to community, leadership, and her ancestral river.

Whitewater paddling is everyone's cup of tea, but some people feel like they don't even have the chance to try. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to the leaders of nonprofit organization Diversify Whitewater, who talk about the barriers that some paddlers face, and how the organization is helping serve those underserved communities. While Diversify Whitewater is not based in the Pacific Northwest, it has been bringing its Kayak Progression program, in which people gradually gain comfort on the water, to Oregon and Washington waterways. Those accepted into the program get access to an activity that may have felt inaccessible, the organization said, and can find a community of likeminded people. Here are some highlights from this week's show: The origin story of Diversify Whitewater. What barriers do these paddlers face? What is the Kayak Progression program?

Eugene Buchanan drops by for a deep dive into a life built around rivers, paddling, and epic adventure. He's a former editor-in-chief of Paddler magazine, founder of Paddling Life, a Fellow of the Explorers Club, a renowned author, and a man whose stories span over 30 countries and six continents. Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: I never planned to make a living from rivers. In fact, if you had asked me back in college, I was more focused on seasonal raft guiding and avoiding any “real job” that required shoes. But then a friend called. He had a permit for the Grand Canyon. I packed up, strapped a kayak to my car, and drove down the Alcan Highway. That trip changed everything. I met my wife on that river. Then I quit my job. Took freelance writing gigs. Burned my vacation time to chase rivers in Peru and Ecuador. Eventually, I found myself editing a national paddling magazine... and later, starting my own. I've paddled in Siberia with Latvians who made rafts from military gear and soccer balls. I've seen the rise of pack rafts, drone scouting, and GPS maps. I've watched river communities form in the unlikeliest places. And I've learned the hard way—like, “class V in the Colombian jungle, middle-of-nowhere, CPR-on-the-rocks” kind of hard—that rivers don't care about your itinerary. PRINCIPLE: The river doesn't just test your skills. It reveals your priorities. It reminds you that life—like paddling—isn't about control. It's about choosing the current that calls to you… and having the right crew with you when it all goes sideways. TRANSITION: Too many people think paddling is just about adrenaline. But the truth is, most folks never get beyond the weekend warrior stage—not because they lack passion, but because they don't have a crew, a guide, or a map for what's next. They want to explore more, but they don't know where to start. Or worse—they overestimate what they can handle and end up burned out, discouraged, or worse. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Eugene Buchanan is such a gift. It's not just a story about rivers—it's a deep dive into how adventure becomes a lifestyle, a career, and a calling. From Siberia to the Yampa, Eugene shows what's possible when you follow your curiosity and stay in the current long enough to let it shape you. CALL TO ACTION: If you've ever wondered if you have what it takes to go from weekend paddle trips to something bigger—this is the episode you need. Don't wait for perfect weather. Don't wait until you “feel ready.” The river's already flowing. Jump in.

(Fire Bro has never seen it, WTF!)In short: wine was spilled, whiskey was worshipped, questions were asked, and dignity was lost. Just another week with the Whiskey Bros.

In January 2018, Sarah will set out on her journey to paddle the length of the Nile, from its source in Rwanda, all the way to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt; a journey of 6,850km / 4,200 miles over 7 months.In this conversation, we discuss how she is using her corporate experience in risk management to mitigate the risks associated with this journey (including injury, disease and illness, the human threat as well as the threat posed by the crocodiles and hippos that occupy parts of the river). We also discuss how you can use a risk management perspective to reduce your fears around ocean swimming, trail running or cycling, her experience with the Imposter Complex and why it's so important to share your stories.

Sean Jansen spent the first 25 years of his life in Southern California. Growing up as a surfer, he endeavored to spend every waking minute in the ocean. By 26, he had travelled to 26 countries and lived internationally in both China and Colombia. Upon returning to the US, Sean moved to Montana, where he guides clients in Yellowstone National Park and writes about the great outdoors. In this conversation, we focus on his passion to raise awareness of the plight of the highly endangered Vaquita Porpoise through his 1000-mile stand-up paddleboard expedition down the length of the Gulf of California. Jansen survived the perilous journey with the help of Slow Baja Alums, Michael Younghusband and Graham Mackintosh. He's written a beautiful account of the voyage titled, Paddling With Porpoise, which is available on Amazon. After more than a year in the works, I am delighted to share this conversation about Jansen's journey through recovery, discovery, and conservation, paddling down the second-longest peninsula on the planet.100% of the proceeds from this book will be donated to conservation.Learn more about Sean Jansen here:https://www.jansenjournals.com/Follow Sean on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jansen_journals/Mentioned in this episode: Slow Baja Vintage Expedition:https://www.slowbaja.com/adventures/slow-baja-vintage-expedition-1Buy Baja Bound Insurance here:https://www.bajabound.com/quote/?r=fl9vypdv2t

In episode 523 of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, I'm talking with Haley Stuart, filmmaker, environmentalist, and whitewater instructor. Haley joins us to discuss her work protecting rivers, collaborating with communities across the Americas, and raising awareness about mega hydroelectric impacts. Her journey inspires meaningful action for lasting environmental change. Show Notes What if I told you that rivers could teach us more about life than a self-help book ever could? What Happened: When Haley Stuart first dipped her paddle into a river, she wasn't chasing adrenaline—she was running headfirst into her fears. Growing up in suburban New York, she didn't even know kayaking was a sport. It wasn't until she attended a kayaking-focused high school (yes, those exist!) that she realized rivers weren't just a setting for adventures—they were life itself, rushing and relentless, filled with twists, turns, and lessons. At first, the sport terrified her. But over time, the pull of the water and the tight-knit community of paddlers won her over. What started as a hesitant curiosity turned into an unshakable passion. Traveling the world, Haley discovered the hard truth: many of the rivers she loved were under threat—from dams, mining, and neglect. She couldn't sit by and watch them disappear. That's when everything changed. She met indigenous communities who lived alongside these rivers, fighting daily battles to protect what had sustained them for generations. Haley realized something profound: saving rivers wasn't just about ecology—it was about people, too. And through her work, she's helping amplify their voices, blending storytelling, conservation, and sheer grit to make an impact. Principle: The heart of Haley's story? Real change starts when we listen. Listen to the rivers, the people who live near them, and the truth about what's really happening in the world's wildest places. Many of us dream of adventure, but few think about what happens when those landscapes are lost. It's not enough to explore the outdoors—we need to protect it. Transition: Too often, we underestimate the power of our choices—what we support, what we fight for, or even where we decide to paddle. We think, "Someone else will handle it," or "What difference can I make?" But here's the truth: you matter more than you think. Haley's work reminds us that our adventures and the decisions we make along the way can transform the fate of entire ecosystems and the communities they sustain. That's Why: That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast is a must-listen. Haley's journey from nervous kayaker to river conservationist will inspire you to think differently about the waterways we all rely on—and how you can play a role in preserving them. Call to Action: Are you ready to discover the adventure, responsibility, and heart that comes with loving rivers? Tune in to hear Haley's story. Don't just explore the outdoors—help protect it for the next generation. Amazonian Rivers Initiative Rios to Rivers Tuichi River Paddle Tribal Waters & Kayakimün

Welcome to today's episode of the Paddling the Blue podcast!  I was paddling with some friends recently and someone mentioned Darcy Gaechter. Darcy is an extraordinary adventurer and author of Amazon Woman. Darcy's journey down the Amazon River set a milestone as the first and only woman to paddle the entire length of the river. The paddler I was with was fascinated by Darcy's story so I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring this one back to the top. In this episode, we explore the challenges, thrills, and fascinating encounters from her epic 148-day expedition where she achieved that milestone.

Two Northlanders are set to take part in the world's longest and arguably most grueling paddling race, the Yukon 1000. Named for the 1000 miles or 1600 kilometres the teams paddle it will take the pair through Canada into Alaska, traversing bear and wildfire country and freezing glacier fed waters. They will have to paddle about 18 hours a day to complete the journey inside the 9 day cut off and be totally self sufficent, carrying everything they need on the kayak. The paddling pair, Calvin Ball and Ryan Baxter spoke to Lisa Owen.

We're heading to the water — not to cool off, but to hear from two small business owners (and friends of the pod) who recently sold their paddling companies. Margaret Littman (of Nashville Paddle Co.) and Annie Klaver (of River Queen Voyages) sit down with host Marie Cecile Anderson to discuss the challenges of operating in Metro Parks, and what ultimately led them to walk away. A quick note: Their stories include discussions of safety concerns that may be difficult to hear, so please take care while listening. Want some more City Cast Nashville news?

Spencer Wadsworth and Stu Jeremias. Young guns, good buddies, and great watermen that have some impressive paddling accomplishments under their belts… including a recent World Record. No joke. Both of these guys grew up in and on the water; with full-on surf families. But the similarities in how they grew up in the water is super different. Spencer grew up at the Wedge and as a result, both he and his younger brother make charging heavy waves look easy. Stuey on the other hand grew up on the vintage side of surfing with his dad and uncle both fully immersed in surf history, riding alternative craft and collecting and refurbishing classic boards. Today, both Stu and Spencer work with, and on, boats and are frothy surfers and prone paddlers. Both have done the Catalina Classic and the Ben Carlson Foundation's Ben Did Go fundraising paddle across the Catalina Channel, the Molokai to Oahu race, and a big adventure when they paddled the English Channel, from England to France; which they accomplished in World Record time. Pretty rad… and they have more big, aspirational and passion filled adventures, and business interests, on the horizon.

"We paddled out to the first net, and there were 12 pilot whales huddled up against it, completely traumatized because they could hear the other 40 members of their pod being massacred yards away. They were screaming. I remember a little baby pilot whale breached and stuck her head out to look at us with curiosity. I took as a request - a sacred compact to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves…to try and give voice to the other species on this planet that can't defend themselves." The Japanese government once issued an arrest warrant for novelist Peter Heller for his role in the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove. The crime? Paddling surfboards into a small bay, where local fishermen were actively killing pilot whales, to protest the slaughter. But this is just one piece of Peter's story.  He's an expert expedition kayaker, journalist and adventure writer. On top of all that he happens to be one of my heroes! We featured Peter in a signature episode last year called ‘ADVENTURE: Whale Warriors and Eco-Pirates: Patrolling the Southern Ocean with Best-Selling Author Peter Heller,' where he joined an eco-pirate ship to take on whaling fleets. It's an incredibly moving tale that he describes beautifully. But in this episode for our CONNECTION series, we're diving deeper and getting stuck into the rest of his story.  We'll talk about Hemingway and living in a teepee as a kid, Soviet kayakers and well-earned vodka, bigfoot pranks, tragedy on training runs, unexplored Tibetan rivers, and infiltrating a secret cove.  So without further ado, here's my full conversation with Peter Heller. CONNECT WITH PETER HELLER Peter's novels transport you to wild and beautiful places, whilst keeping you page-turning on the edge of your seat. Find out more about his books at peterhellerauthor.com His latest novel, Burn, is about two men—friends since boyhood—who emerge from the woods of rural Maine to a dystopian country racked by bewildering violence.
