In the second episode of our series on Mindset March, we bring you our panel show 'Not the Plan, Still the Passion', recorded live at the National Equine Show. Join us as we chat with Saffron Cresswell, a former 4* Event rider and European pony champion gold medallist. In 2024, Saffron suffered a fall at Bramham that resulted in her becoming paralysed from the chest down. Dylan Ward joined us, alongside Saffron. At just 10-years-old, Dylan has huge dreams despite enduring a two year fight to overcome cancer in his pelvis. The treatment left Dylan with life long disabilities. Up until his diagnosis, Dylan had ridden in all disciplines, and now seeks to one day represent Team GB in the Paralympics. Alongside Dylan, we welcomed his mum, Jess Flack, who now campaigns to raise awareness of childhood cancer and supports Dylan in his Paralympic dream. Our conversation tells their stories and how they are triumphing over adversity.Tania talks ground work, feeding aggression and coming back to competing after a break, and Katie finds this week's bubbles a little too bubbly!Find out more about Saffron Cresswell: https://www.instagram.com/saffroncresswellofficial/?hl=enFind out more about Dylan Ward: https://www.instagram.com/panaero_and_peppers_adventures/?hl=enFind out more about the National Equine Show: https://nationalequineshow.com/All of the pods in Mindset March are kindly supported by Flying Changes Mindset.

Hey Heal Squad! What do you do when life changes in an instant? Today we're finding out from someone who knows exactly what that feels like: Amy Purdy. Amy is a three-time Paralympic medalist, professional snowboarder, motivational speaker, and author. Her new book Bounce Forward: 21 Tools to Live a Life Beyond Limits (out April 14th) not only details Amy's fight for her life at 19, when bacterial meningitis left her with a 2% chance of survival and led to the loss of both of her legs, but also the devastating health crisis years later that once again threatened her mobility. But instead of letting those moments define her limits, Amy rebuilt her life using the same mindset tools she now shares in Bounce Forward. Amy opens up about the mindset shifts that helped her move from survival to strength, including the power of visualization, and learning how to stay fully present when life feels overwhelming (like not being able to be on a snowboard for the past 7 years!). With the Paralympics happening right now, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the determination, resilience, and gold-medal mindset it takes to rise again when the odds feel stacked against you. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Visualization can support both performance and healing: Amy used daily visualization, imagining snowboarding, and running again, to help her body recover during her most difficult medical battles. Your relationship with your body matters: One of Amy's most powerful practices is shifting from criticizing the body to appreciating it, even writing letters of gratitude to the body for everything it continues to do.

What does it take to become a Paralympian in a sport you just learned?This week, Corrine sits down with Team USA Paralympian Dani Aravich — a Nordic skier and biathlete (that's skiing and shooting) heading into her third Paralympic Games right now. How did she go from DI runner to professional sports executive to discovering the Paralympic movement and jumping headfirst into a brand new sport?Dani learned how to cross-country ski as an adult — and now she's in Milan competing at the Paralympics. But, she says, Paralympic storytelling also needs to move away from inspiration narratives and recognize these athletes as elite athletes. That's partially why she's a co-founder of Culxtured, an athlete-led media collective aiming to elevate Paralympic stories and coverage beyond the Games.Watch the Paralympics and Dani compete on Peacock & NBC in the U.S., CBC in Canada, and see the full list of global broadcasters here.

For this episode, a Para Alpine skier from Pittsfield is competing at the Paralympic Winter Games in Cortina, Italy
Happy March 9th! (Or whatever day it is, because time is a construct). We kick off the episode by discussing our nighttime routines. Mike shares how he and Sam wind down with Wordle and Connections, while trying to read The Chronicles of Narnia instead of endlessly scrolling TikTok. We also preview an upcoming boys' ski trip where Mike and Dan will try to survive the slopes before the spring weather and Boston Marathon season officially take over.Then, we dive into the high-stakes anxiety of grocery shopping. Erin's fear of doing the "wrong thing" reached new heights when she accidentally left a gourmet jar of olives in her reusable bag.In our massive Winter Paralympics preview, we discuss the badass sport of biathlon (they ski with guns on their backs!), para snowboard drama with Brenna Huckaby. We also check in with our favorite "Dark Horse Dani" (Dani Aravich), who sends us an update from the Italian Dolomites about infuriating the locals by eating daily gelato in the winter just to gain weight for her races.Finally, we break down a bizarre niche internet rabbit hole: a TikTok creator who hires entertainers—like magicians, clowns, and a Tom Cruise impersonator—to perform exclusively for him in his empty house, which recently resulted in an accidental therapy session with a motivational speaker. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a mystery fan putting up a giant billboard dedicated to Al Roker, and Al's delightfully coy reaction to his very own monument.

Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio
After the Winter Olympic Games, the spotlight now shifts to the Paralympic Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. According to Tomáš Varga, head of the Slovak Paralympic delegation, Slovakia will make history — sending its largest winter Paralympic team ever and, for the first time, competing in every sport on the programme. Just before the team's departure to Italy, we spoke with Miroslav Dráb, general manager of the Slovak para hockey national team, as well as several athletes heading to the Games. Among them are para hockey players Michal Hlinka and captain Martin Joppa, curling team captain Radoslav Ďuriš, rising para alpine skiing talent Alexandra Rexová, and Slovakia's most successful winter Paralympian, former skier Henrieta Farkašová, who shared her experience ahead of the Games, along with other members of the team.
Team USA sled hockey player Monica Quimby joins Sarah to discuss why women’s sled hockey still isn’t in the Paralympics, what it meant for Team USA to win the inaugural Women’s World Championship last year, and why viewers will find the “mixed gender” label of para hockey misleading when they tune in to watch the almost entirely-men’s tournament in Italy. Plus, 20 medals and counting, SheBelieves that they did win, and upsets and champions in women’s hoops.

How do conflicts like the US-Israel war with Iran impact our planet?In this special bonus episode of The Climate Question podcast, we answer listeners' questions about the environmental cost of armed conflict, from Gaza to Ukraine. We examine the carbon footprint of battle itself - the jets, the bombs, the supply lines - and the impact of maintaining armies and bases during peacetime. We also ask our experts if there are any ways for the military to reduce their emissions and whether commanders now see climate change as a strategic threat.You can hear more episodes of The Climate Question every week, wherever you get your BBC podcasts. Recently, the team have looked at the climate challenge facing the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the green energy revolution in China and what whales tells us about the state of our planet.

In this episode of Making It to Milan, Dani Aravich sits down with Carina Edlinger, a Paralympic biathlete representing the Czech Republic. A Paralympic champion and six-time world champion, Carina reflects on her journey from competing for Austria to changing nationality and navigating the complex approval process that now allows her to race biathlon, but not cross-country skiing, in Milano Cortina. She opens up about the mental toll of that decision, the challenge of forming a new relationship with a guide in a different language, and the frustration of shooting under pressure. Karina also shares what it means to compete with a visual impairment, confront misconceptions about disability, lean on her support system—including her psychologist, lawyers, and guide dog—and chase both a clean shooting performance and the chance to sing the Czech anthem in Italy.

Politik hat im Sport nichts zu suchen, sagen Funktionäre, wenn es ihnen ins Konzept passt. Bei Russland und seinem Nachbarn Weißrussland machen sie eine fortwährende Ausnahme. Die Winter Paralympics beginnen gerade in Italien. Die Sportwelt schaut auf die Athletinnen und Athleten, die sich im friedlichen Wettstreit völkerverbindend treffen und messen. Was für eine schöne Idee.Weiterlesen
Iran is Not a Football Game, Hegseth. Barron ‘Too Tall to Serve'? American Troops KIA Identified. Another Primary Screws Independents. Indy Vet Bodnar Declares for Senate in Montana. Trump has struck nine foreign countries in the past year and just opened a new front in Ecuador—while thousands of Americans remain stranded near Iran with no clear evacuation plan. From Times Square after sparring with Democrat Senator Blumenthal on MSNow, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff blasts a Congress acting more like “mall cops” than a check on Trump's runaway war powers. In this quick‑fire solo pod, Paul unpacks the escalating Iran conflict, honors fallen troops by name, and exposes a bipartisan “Chickenhawk Club” eager to send others to fight while keeping their own families safe. He also breaks down how Trump's team has left bases worldwide on edge, why the Pentagon is scrambling for munitions, and how Washington still lacks a plan for the new generation of veterans it's creating. Plus, Paul dives into America's broken primary system, key Texas primary shifts, and a surge of independent veteran candidates like Montana's Seth Bodner proving that independents are the needle. And for some balance after the battle talk, he hits sports and culture—from the World Baseball Classic and Paralympics to the Oscar‑nominated short Armed Only with a Camera, honoring journalist Brent Renaud and those who show the real cost of war. -WATCH full video of this episode here.
