In our previous episode, we went deep into the history of Cabaret Voltaire and their importance to UK industrial and, latterly, dance music. Now, we follow the trail we laid therein by taking a journey through the band's extensive discography, really fleshing out how they went from a Sheffield attic in 1973 to a Patagonian field site recording lizards for David Attenborough. Along the way, we take in televangelists, voodoo, Charles Manson samples, Velvet Underground covers, a near-miss with Todd Terry, and a Taylor Swift pressing-plant mix-up that turned a forgotten ambient track into a viral curiosity decades later.Phil Eaglesham (aka P6 - ex-Stretchheads and De Salvo, current OMO frontman) returns to bestow upon us his encyclopaedic knowledge of the band and British industrial music. We start in 1974 with the lo-fi bedroom experiments of Cabaret Voltaire 1974–76, work through the rough-edged early Rough Trade EPs, the spring-reverb wilderness of Three Mantras and Voice of America, the cult monument that is Red Mecca, and the band's stylistic pivots through Hai!, 2x45, The Crackdown, Micro-Phonies, The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, Code, and beyond. We also pick at the more controversial late chapters, including the major-label years, the slightly-too-late acid house pivot, and Richard H. Kirk's solo reactivation of the name.Along the way, we explore the band as a video production company that happened to make music; their roles as curators and tastemakers via Double Vision; the Burroughs-and-televangelism worldview that made them frighteningly prescient about Reagan-era Christian nationalism; and their unsung debt to Black American music and dub. Chris also offers a wider reflection on what it means to lose the egoless purity of your earliest creative work as ambition and industry pressures take hold.We get deep in the weeds talking about the producers they worked with (Flood, Adrian Sherwood, John Robie, Marshall Jefferson); the labels (Rough Trade, Some Bizzare, Virgin, EMI, Mute); their collaborators and contemporaries (DAF, Wire, Throbbing Gristle, Clock DVA, Soft Cell, New Order, The Shamen); and the bands that lifted from them wholesale (Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Rapture, White Zombie, and a generation of Glasgow acts you've heard but can't quite place).It all culminates in us taking a closer look at Eight Crepuscule Tracks, a record that Phil thinks is their best and a very pure statement of what the band can and did achieve. We also settle upon what is perhaps the most important lesson to be gleaned from the Cabs' music: the importance of never compromising on your vision. By entering the belly of the beast and somehow remaining intact, they became one of the rare bands in this corner of music history whom nobody has a bad word for.Highlights00:00 Intro01:18 Welcome Back, Phil02:46 1974–76: Egoless Experimentation04:51 Bedroom Records06:30 Extended Play and DAF07:37 The Velvet Underground Cover08:26 Nag Nag Nag10:20 Van With a PA11:38 Three Mantras12:24 Mix-Up14:50 William Burroughs16:48 Voice of America19:35 Peter Care and Double Vision21:41 Red Mecca24:25 Encyclopaedia Bands27:36 Hai!29:36 2x45 in New York32:07 Sheffield's Family Tree32:55 Chris Watson Leaves36:16 The Crackdown42:23 Micro-Phonies46:38 Covenant, Sword and Arm of the Lord49:48 Drinking Gasoline51:45 Code54:58 Listen Up and Reissues57:12 Groovy, Laidback and Nasty1:00:15 Body and Soul1:03:56 Shadow of Fear1:04:51 The Taylor Swift Accident1:08:27 Richard Kirk's Death1:14:50 Bus Shelter Bashes1:19:58 Sincerity vs Seriousness1:25:00 Debt to Black Music1:29:00 Eight Crepuscule Tracks1:51:00 Why Everyone Loves Cab Vol1:58:36 Coming Soon: Coil?!

#415 In this podcast episode, Guy interviewed Marcela Toro, who described her work as bringing "light" into the world through unconditional love and helping others realign as multidimensional beings. She said people experience different realities, argues denser "third-dimensional" patterns like war are dissolving as more "photonic" light and solar energies awaken humanity, and encouraged practices such as meditation, self-forgiveness, gratitude, and daily spoken activations including "I choose the light" and "I am that I am." Marcela shared her background from South America, traveling to sacred sites, working with neurodivergent young adults through creativity, and a near-death experience that reinforced love as our core nature. She recounted an expedition to Antarctica tied to her Patagonian ancestry, describing glaciers, scientific bases, and her perceptions of "cities of light," disclosure, and a near-term shift toward collaboration, new communities, and a changed human paradigm. About Marcela: Marcela is a Shaman with a background in Social Science, Social work and Neuro Linguistic Programming Marcela coaches some of Australia's top Entrepreneurs and Business Owners in Shamanism, Leadership and Authority. As well, her clients include Artists, Speakers, Writers and Corporate Executives. Shamanism is a Way of Being – paying reverence to all that is on a daily basis. Self-Sustainability is important to Marcela. Her Shamanic teachings introduce practical exercises to accelerate your Spiritual Enlightenment process whilst you are supported in a relaxed and loving environment. Marcela gives practical exercises that people can use every day to activate their light within. Sound healing that can be used to expand, activate and even transform one's own patterns or conditions."

With this year's Oscars on the horizon, and vampire film Sinners nominated for a record-breaking 16 awards, the Unexpected Elements team sinks their teeth into some blood-sucking science.First, we discover that Vlad the Impaler, the Romanian prince who inspired Dracula, may have not only had blood on his hands, but also in his tears. We also hear about a woman in Guadeloupe with the world's newest and rarest blood type.We're then joined by Dr Naomi Ewald from the UK's Freshwater Habitats Trust who tells us all about nature's little bloodsuckers – leeches – and why their use in medicine is not just a practice consigned to the history books.Also, the gravity-defying gecko of the Gambia, how close are we to producing artificial blood, and the Patagonian dinosaur that looks like a judgemental chicken.All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Ella Hubber, with Sophie Ormiston, Lucy Davies and Imy Harper
When at Wine Paris, I visited the booths of many countries. Catching up with old friends, and forging new relationships to help move the needle in wine. As I visited the Armenian wine booth, there was a bustle in the air. If there is an old guard in the Armenian wine trade, it would be Vahe Keusguarian. He forged much of what is the modern wine industry there. But before Vahe, there was Karas. In fact, Vahe's first job as he picked up his life and moved to Armenia...was at Karas. At the helm at Karas, an incredibly capable young woman; Juliana Del Aguila. Not only does she responsible for this pioneering winery in Armenia, she is at the helm of Bodega Fin Del Mundo in Argentina. Can you imagine that travel log? She spyed me in the corner of her eye and quickly came to say hi. You see, Wine Talks was one of her first podcasts...if not the first. Hear her here. Juliana de la Guila brings more than wine knowledge—she brings continents together in a single conversation. You'll quickly realize that when it comes to Karas Wines and the Armenian wine revival, her passion is as layered as a rare vintage, with roots reaching from the arid soils of the Ararat Valley to the windswept vineyards of Patagonia. In this episode, you'll discover how Juliana and her family became pioneers in resurrecting Armenia's ancient winemaking tradition after decades lost to brandy production under the Soviet Union. You'll learn why the rebirth of Armenian viticulture is more than just an economic opportunity—it's about community, sustainability, and rekindling magic in a bottle that Armenians can send around the world as a piece of home. Juliana de la Guila will reveal how indigenous varietals like Areni are reclaiming their historical seat at the world's wine table and why international grapes such as Malbec and Cabernet Franc are being invited to the Armenian party, all in the search for terroir and expression. Along the way, you'll pick up surprising insights about irrigation from Turkish reservoirs, organic certification, and the delicate balance of tradition and innovation, as well as the emotional and existential connection that makes a glass of Armenian wine taste like home. From the shifting Los Angeles wine market to China's nascent curiosity, from new cuisine in Yerevan's wine bars to the soul of sustainable farming, you'll walk away with a story that's as much about family, identity, and evolution as it is about grapes. Prepare to taste history, experience emotion, and understand how wine truly connects land, legacy, and the modern world—one bottle at a time. Three things you'll learn in this episode: Why Armenian wine disappeared for decades, how it's being reborn, and what it takes to reestablish a nation's grape legacy. The challenges and triumphs of introducing Armenian and Patagonian wines to international markets—and the surprising reactions from both sommeliers and consumers. How the culture around food, wine, and celebration is evolving in Armenia, from modern wine bars to the interplay of ancient tradition and diaspora influences. https://youtu.be/TuE7Lb8x68E

Jack and John welcome back David Cobb, a frequent guest and Oregon resident to the show! Listen in as they catch up with David on some of his more recent projects and discuss how he approaches some of his photographs. David is an acclaimed author of several books, along with a founding member of Photo Cascadia and he has a wealth of information to share with all of us interested in photography. From Davids bio… As a long-distance hiker, I have sharpened my photographic perspective over the years on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Continental Divide, the Canadian Divide and most recently walking across Iceland. After years of capturing images along the trail and becoming more and more passionate about the art of photography, I took the leap and “quit my day job” to devote myself full time to my photographic work. Now as I photograph throughout the US and around the world, I am continually awed by the broad spectrum of nature's offerings—from a delicate heliconia flower on the exotic island of Rarotonga to the sweeping Patagonian landscape. My particular fondness for the Pacific Northwest is reflected in my local outdoor shots. My goal is to capture the wonders I see in nature for the enjoyment of all those with an eye for the extraordinary. Davids Website: https://dmcobbphoto.com/ Davids Books: https://dmcobbphoto.com/product-category/books/ The We Talk Photo podcast is dedicated to being an entertaining, informative and lighthearted discussion about a wide range of photographic topics centered around landscape and nature photography. Hosted by Jack Graham and John Pedersen, long time industry professionals, they will bring you in to their conversations about gear, recent trends, insightful interviews with industry leaders as well as entertaining stories from their collective experience in the photography business.

What do Walt Disney's cashmere sweater and a bottle of pesto on a Patagonian mountain have to do with each other? The answer is the same thing that helps build trust and loyalty with the people around you. Interested in coaching or training on these topics for you or your team? We'd love to hear from you! Email Mike and Mark.
Michael explains that people often struggle because "adding and adding must be more effective," yet humans are "more confident when just one advantage is presented." He shares that Five Guys succeeded because they "only do burgers and fries" and that "if you say you are best at one thing most of all, they're more likely to believe that." He emphasizes that "buyers…have a top force-ranked prioritization of the most important thing," and focusing on the thing you are "best in the world at" is "more believable and more memorable." On pricing, he notes that "thinking is to humans like swimming is to cats. They can do it. They just prefer not to," and the brain "uses twenty percent of the calories in your body." He explains that humans rely on shortcuts and that price is "a relativity game." He describes how Red Bull "broke the comparison" by avoiding the soda can format and launched at "two dollars and fifty cents" instead of one dollar. He explains left-digit bias: "Forty-nine ninety-nine is going to be a much more attractive price than fifty dollars," and that ending in a seven "feels much more specific." He describes how indulgent framing changed behavior: "sweet sizzling plant-based beans and crispy shallots" increased selection "twenty-five percent more," while "light and low carb" suppressed it. He states that appealing to the emotional side "will always feel more indulgent and will always be more appealing," and that consulting services should focus on "what does the buyer really want" and how to communicate emotionally, not only rationally. On scarcity, he shows that breaking enjoyment boosts desire. Pumpkin Spice Latte sells because "they decided to make it for a limited time only," and the shorter deadline in a voucher study produced a "four and a half times increase." He warns that in professional services "you have to be careful that it's still believable." Time scarcity rarely works; instead, "we only have three seats left in this class" or "we only have room for two more clients to onboard this quarter." Michael explains that nostalgia reduces price sensitivity, noting people were willing to pay "three times more" when feeling nostalgic. He says social connectedness lowers price concerns: "there will be less pricing sensitivity when there's higher social connectedness." He points out that many consultants think this is about likability, but "that's not actually what the science says is happening." He introduces the publicity principle — "if someone revealed what you were doing, would you be ashamed or embarrassed by it?" — and the grandma principle: "if you had to tell your grandmother the way you landed that big account," would you feel proud? On humor, he explains that humor creates "higher attention," "higher positive emotions," and "higher purchase intent," but jokes must reinforce the brand or they become "the vampire effect." He shares the pratfall effect: a small blunder "makes you even more likable," showing that "a little bit of a blunder can make you a little bit more likable." He highlights powerful examples such as "good things come to those who wait," "we're number two so we have to try harder," and "the taste you hate twice a day." He explains that concrete ideas outperform abstract ones. People remembered "rusty engine" and "white horse" far more than "impossible amount" or "subtle fault." He says consultants should avoid abstract language and "draw a picture in people's minds" so ideas are "much more easily remembered." Michael emphasizes that "every word matters." He shares how Patagonian tooth fish became Chilean sea bass and saw a "thirty fold increase," and how one verb changed perceived car-crash speed from "forty point five miles per hour" to "thirty one point eight." He notes buyers are "light users of our industry" and that consultants may be "choosing words that leave a totally different impression." He explains the illusion of effort: showing effort raises perceived quality. Participants rated a poem higher when told it took "eighteen hours" instead of four. He warns consultants that AI can lower perceived effort unless they "show your effort that went into using AI."

When everything is perfectly organized—routes mapped, fuel stops planned, meals and beds guaranteed—it feels effortless. But the truth is, no matter how tidy the plan, the real world always gets a vote. On short rides, those small interruptions are easy to patch over. Stretch the miles across countries and weeks on the road, though, and the little things start to compound. That's when the first casualty is usually the plan—and what comes next is called the adventure.In this 2017 story, a dozen experienced riders set out to cross South America from Cartagena to Ushuaia, equipped with skills, support vehicles, and a clear plan. But tropical rain, border red tape, shock absorbers that cried uncle, and Patagonian winds forced them to adapt. The journey didn't unfold the way they mapped it—but that's the point. What carries a long trip isn't a perfect plan; it's the flexibility to rewrite it.
When you go to a restaurant and order Chilean Sea Bass, you're not getting what you think. It's not Chilean, it's not a bass, and the name was made up to help sell a fish no one wanted to eat. In this episode, we dive into the surprising marketing success of the Patagonian toothfish - from obscurity to fine dining stardom - and what happened when demand pushed the fish to the brink of collapse. Then we chat with Comedian Dan Wilbur.

In the final episode of this series, we bring you inside the towns of Patagonia that have a distinct Welsh falvour. From tea houses to red dragons to an adoration for the game of rugby, we travel to Trelew and Gaiman. In Buenos Aires, we sit down with Marcela Mora y Araujo to take one last look back on the 2022 World Cup triumph, and what it's done for a country that is economically on its knees. She also reveals her own story of FOMO, except it was missing out on her own nation's World Cup win, which soothes the pain of this particular story of missing out.We go to a Boca Juniors game, and we also travel to Rosario to go to a Newell's Old Boys game. It's a club that both Messi and Maradona have played for, but neither is as revered in the stadium as one Marcelo Bielsa.Before all that, there's part ten of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin tries to get himself to his destination of Ushuaia.Follow Eoin…https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/https://x.com/EoinSheahanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@eoinsheahanEmail: eoinsheahan1@gmail.com

Tonight, we'll read from the ninth chapter of British naturalist Charles Darwin's “The Voyage of the Beagle” titled “Santa Cruz, Patagonia and the Falkland Islands”. The five-year expedition laid the groundwork for Darwin's later theory of evolution by natural selection.In this chapter, Darwin recounts an overland expedition up the Santa Cruz River in southern Patagonia. The landscape is stark and repetitive, with shingle plains, thorny bushes, and a scarcity of birds or waterfowl. Darwin documents vast flows of basaltic lava and enormous erratic boulders, offering early insights into glacial and marine forces that shaped the land. His observations blend physical hardship with scientific wonder, as he marvels at condors circling above the cliffs and theorizes about the slow, ancient processes that carved the Patagonian terrain.If you'd like to start from the beginning, the first episode of this series aired on June 10th, 2024, with subsequent monthly episodes exploring Darwin's journey in detail.

In this "From the Field" episode, which is number 112, host Ivan Phillipsen shares his recent experiences birding in Patagonia while leading a two-week tour through this remote and breathtaking region. Speaking from Puerto Varas, Chile, he provides an immersive account of the landscapes, birdlife, and unique ecology of Patagonia, spanning both Argentina and Chile. Ivan explores the geography of the region, highlighting the towering Andes, vast Patagonian Steppe, and dramatic glacial fjords. He also dives into the region's ecological dynamics, including the stark contrast between the lush Magellanic subpolar forests and the arid steppe, shaped by the relentless Patagonian winds. Ivan recounts the group's birding adventures, from the southernmost city of Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego National Park to the legendary Beagle Channel, where they encountered Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins. Throughout the journey, the group pursued an ambitious goal—spotting all eight bird species with “Magellanic” in their name. Ivan also highlights memorable moments, such as an unforgettable sighting of a Snowy Sheathbill, a leucistic (partially albino) Scale-throated Earthcreeper, and a massive Andean Condor scavenging scene on the Patagonian Steppe. Ivan reflects on why this wild and remote region captivates him, from its evolutionary history and glacial landscapes to its unique yet sparse biodiversity. ~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the show

This episode is sponsored by Volvo Penta. Matt Lewis was an ambitious 23-year-old fisheries biologist when he set foot aboard the 144-foot Sudur Havid, an aging longline trawler casting off for South Atlantic and Antarctic waters in search of Patagonian toothfish–or “Chilean sea bass,” as it's better known on your dinner plate. A quick–and underrated–bilge-pump replacement, along with a short but dire series of events led to the boat's sinking. Of all the 38 crew aboard, Lewis was, as his book's title suggests, the last man off, and one of 21 survivors. In this episode of the Power and Motoryacht podcast he sits down with Senior Editor Owen Burke to tell his tale and reflect on the tragedy. You can get Matt's book "Last Man Off: A True Story of Disaster and Survival on the Antarctic Seas" on Amazon. ▶ Learn more at pmymag.com Subscribe to Power & Motoryacht magazine at pmymag.com/subscribe Subscribe to our FREE newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

With their excellent sense of smell, pigs are renowned for sniffing out truffles, a fungus that grows underground and is prized for its taste. But it turns out that some bird species can also find their way to a truffle treat. Researchers working in the Patagonia region of Chile had noticed truffles with little beak-sized bite marks, and even watched a bird eat a truffle. They found truffle DNA in the birds' droppings, suggesting that truffles are a staple of the birds' diet. Some of the fungi species eaten by the Patagonian birds look like berries that grow locally, which might help birds see them better.Listen to this show in Spanish here.

He's built epic golf at every stop—but not even Coore can conceive of 18 holes at the South Pole. Earlier this year, host Tom Coyne sat down with Coore at Bandon's 25th anniversary celebration to discuss not just his builds in Bandon, but his recent travels to Antarctica and Patagonia. Whales and sea lions make an appearance, as does a plane with a steel-plated underbelly (and a custom penguin paint job) capable of negotiating gravel runways. Seeing this alien continent through the eyes of a seasoned traveler is illuminating—and frightening, as Coore details in his harrowing experience of nearly being blown clean off a mountain in the Patagonian wilderness.

It's Episode 420 - Drink 'em if you got 'em.A momentous occasion as we celebrate our very own 420 day. We don't really get into the cannabis side of things much. We've sampled it and it just doesn't agree with us. I get sick and Brian gets all congested. Beer treats us much better. But, we know lots of people enjoy their THC and CBD, is that an issue for craft beer?Some research suggests that, in states where legal weed is available, some people are opting to smoke/eat instead of having beer, or another beer. Will we see more of this as more states legalize? Beer Twitter even gave cannabis beverages a slight lead when asked if we were more likely to see more NA beer or THC-infused beverages on tap in 10 years.The research was self-reported, and it's important to remember respondents were either high or drunk. If even they weren't, people tend to a very poor job of assessing themselves when asked, and some just lie.Move over THC, Coca beer is hereAs we fight to get cannabis legalized across the US, Colombia is coming out full force with coca-infused beer. You know, coca leaves, as in cocaine. Coca leaves are sometimes chewed or made into a tea for a bit of a stimulant bump. According to some Googling, a cup of coca tea prepared from one gram of coca leaves (the typical contents of a tea bag) contains approximately 4.2 mg of organic coca alkaloid. In comparison, a typical dose (a "line") of cocaine contains between 20 and 30 milligrams. So it's just a lil' bit of cocaine. Drink up!More chatter or what would be on our Mt.

[originaly published on Patreon Nov 16, 2021] In case you've ever wondered what the political fallout from a massacre is like, this is your episode. Brave Colonel Varela faced obfuscation and misdirection from Yrigoyen's government, attacks from the socialists in Congress, attacks in the press, silence, and eventually a "promotion". Then, Varela was blown up, and the chain of revenge spins out from there. It's quite a story, though!
[originally published on Patreon Nov 10, 2021] Today's the second of three episodes about the Patagonian Revolution. If you don't know what happens, don't spoil it for yourself or others. We pick up from the resounding victories of the strikes of 1920, and discuss the ongoing struggles and strikes of 1921, which do not go quite as well, to put it mildly. This one's rough, folks. At least at the end, there's a nice sex worker-positive story of resistance, I suppose. But just wait for next week, where there's -some- measure of justice. songs: Hijos del Pueblo by Frente Popular No soy de aqui ni soy de alla - Jorge Cafrune
[originally published on Patreon Nov 3, 2021] Today's the first of a 3-part series (or 4 if you include the Simon Radowitzky episode) on the Patagonian Revolution, which a lot of people don't know about. In some ways, the story continues as these events occurred after the Radowitzky episode, also. We talk about the politics of the time, Argentina's Tragic Week and who owned Patagonia. Understanding the economic base of Patagonia is crucial to understanding the story, as well as the different forces exploiting the economy. It all culminates in waves of strikes which allow the workers to win major concessions. Much of this episode sets up the events for episode 2-3, but I promise it's not boring. songs: a track called Ленин (Спасибо, Ильич!) A Las Barricadas

HMS Wager was a square-rigged sixth-rate Royal Navy ship of 28 guns. She was built as an East Indiaman in about 1734 and made two voyages to India for the East India Company before the Royal Navy purchased her in 1739. She formed part of a squadron under Commodore George Anson and was wrecked on the south coast of Chile on 14 May 1741. The wreck of Wager became famous for the subsequent adventures of the survivors who found themselves marooned on a desolate island in the middle of a Patagonian winter, and in particular because of the Wager Mutiny that followed.
