Every comic book reader remembers the first time they encountered Bill Sienkiewicz. Whether it was in Moon Knight, The New Mutants, Elektra: Assassin, or a recent variant for Absolute Batman, Sienkiewicz's art smacks your eyeballs and demands your attention. You probably weren't sure about it at first, but as your eyes refused to leave, you discovered new wonders capable in this medium called comic books. Like the first time Sienkiewicz saw a Neal Adams Superman instead of a Curt Swan Superman, his art stirs discomfort in those who've stewed in the routine. This week we return from San Diego Comic-Con International, and we've brought Bill Sienkiewicz with us. The convention premiered the trailer for his new documentary, That Polish Guy, directed by Remsy Atassi and produced by Sal Abbinanti. We were granted a sneak peek at an early edit, and it's jammed with creators expressing their admiration for Sienkiewicz. Sienkiewicz exploded on the scene and has continued to evolve his style to this very day. We excitedly spoke to him about his relationship with comics, how discomfort is part of the deal when it comes to a lifelong passion for comics, whether you're on the artist's side of things or the reader's side, and how That Polish Guy attempts to shape his story. In an effort to relate our San Diego Comic-Con experience beyond our own perspective, we also invited Badr Milligan, host of The Short Box, onto the show to explain the convention's particular vibe from a newbie's viewpoint. This is a recap, not of the news and exclusives, although there's some of that, but of the show's emotional pull. Make sure you subscribe to The Short Box and follow Badr Milligan on Instagram and Bluesky.

Dr. Kirk Moore never expected to become one of the most controversial doctors in America.After questioning COVID policies and helping people who didn't want the vaccine, the Utah plastic surgeon became the target of a federal investigation. He was arrested, faced decades in prison, spent time in jail, and ultimately watched his case become a national story before it was dismissed.In this episode, Jimmy and Dr. Moore discuss the events that led to his prosecution, the cost of standing by his convictions, what he learned about medicine and government during the pandemic, and why he says he would make the same decisions again.Whether you agree with his views or not, this conversation explores conviction, personal sacrifice, and the consequences of challenging powerful institutions.Follow Dr. Kirk Moore: IGFreedom Surgical Utah: IG

"You can taste the quality." —Katina Mountanos Most of what's labeled "extra virgin olive oil" on grocery shelves isn't giving you the extra virgin olive oil benefits you think it is — and Kosterina founder Katina Mountanos found that out the hard way.  In this episode, Justine sits down with Katina to unpack why so much store-bought olive oil tastes flat, what polyphenols actually do in the body, and why the "don't cook with olive oil, it has a low smoke point" advice you've been following is flat-out wrong. Katina traces her obsession with real olive oil back to summers on her family's farm in Koroni, Greece — and the moment, years later, that a $12 bottle from a New York supermarket tasted nothing like it. That gap sent her through an olive oil sommelier certification, a deep dive into polyphenol research, and eventually a full-time business built on transparency: harvest dates, single-origin sourcing, and third-party testing for everything from acidity to microplastics. This episode is for anyone who's stood in the oil aisle wondering which bottle is actually worth it, and for anyone rethinking what "seed oil vs olive oil" really means for their health. • High-antioxidant extra-virgin olive oil can contain 500–1,000+ mg/kg of polyphenols, compared to roughly 150 mg/kg in average grocery-store bottles. • Smoke point is not the right test for whether an oil is safe to cook with — free radical emission under heat is what actually matters, and olive oil emits far fewer than seed oils. • A bottle labeled "Italian" or "Greek" extra-virgin olive oil can still be a blend of residual oils from multiple countries and harvests, bottled together under one label. • Plastic packaging accelerates rancidity and can leach microplastics, so glass or tin with a visible harvest date is a stronger buying signal than the words "extra virgin" alone. • Fresh, high-polyphenol olive oil produces a peppery burn at the back of the throat — the same sensation researchers first mistook for ibuprofen contamination. • Cooking with avocado oil or genuine early-harvest olive oil, instead of canola or other seed oils, is a low-effort swap with a real anti-inflammatory upside. Listen to the full conversation for Katina's grocery-aisle checklist and her at-home smell-and-taste test — then subscribe so you never miss an episode. https://tinyurl.com/Essential-Ingredients-Podcast  Meet Katina:  Katina Mountanos is the founder and CEO of Kosterina, a premium Greek extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean foods brand built at the intersection of taste, health, and transparency. Raised between New York and the olive groves of Koroni, Greece, Katina grew up knowing what truly good olive oil should taste like. After becoming a certified olive oil sommelier and uncovering the powerful health benefits of high–polyphenol extra virgin olive oil, she launched Kosterina as a passion project while working in consumer brands at Walmart.  Today, Kosterina's early-harvest, cold-pressed, high-antioxidant olive oils, fruit-infused vinegars, and olives are nationally available at Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, and online, and are recognized for both exceptional flavor and rigorous quality testing. Grounded in the Mediterranean diet, Katina's work champions cooking at home, clean ingredients, and replacing inflammatory seed oils with olive oil to support heart, gut, metabolic, and overall health.  Website Instagram Facebook TikTok Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Podcast Chapters: 00:52 Meet Katina Mountanos: Growing Up in Greek Olive Country 06:09 Why Kosterina's Polyphenol Levels Triple the Average 08:46 Building Kosterina as a Passion Project While at Walmart 14:26 Busting the Smoke Point Myth About Cooking With Olive Oil 16:51 Canola Oil, the "Hateful Eight," and Why Blends Deceive 19:09 How to Spot Real Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the Store 21:48 The Smell-and-Taste Test for Good Olive Oil at Home 27:31 What's Next: Vinegars, Olives, and a 2027 Launch  Resources:  DISCOUNT Get a 15% discount when you shop at Kosterina Use code: essential15 THE PRIMES  ✨ You're more capable than you have ever been, and somehow more invisible than ever.

A years long soda habit meant buying bottles by the dozen, sometimes needing a second cart at the store.   A plain straw slowly turned an unnatural green color from daily use, unnoticed for a long stretch.   Seeing that straw clearly for the first time finally raised a question that had been available the whole time.   Long running habits rarely hide their evidence, they just sit unnoticed until someone finally looks closely.   A small, ordinary detail can sometimes prompt change more than any dramatic warning could.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Alex, CEO of Shannon Mechanics, a Ukrainian company that has produced more than 8,000 drag stretchers and over 330,000 immobilization splints for the front line since the full-scale invasion.Alex shares the raw story of how the company started with scrap materials and construction-store aluminum during the early chaos of 2022, scaled production while operating physically underground with independent power and battery-powered equipment, and refined products based on real soldier feedback. They discuss the BM splint (a more rigid, radiolucent alternative designed for Ukrainian conditions), the philosophy behind their rollable plastic drag stretcher optimized for one-person extraction under drone threat and complex terrain, quality control under resource constraints, the transition from pure volunteering to a sustainable business, and the deeper questions of dignity in life and death, PTSD, and long-term rehabilitation.This is practical, unfiltered insight into how medical manufacturing adapts when supply lines collapse, borders close, and every piece of gear has to work in the worst conditions imaginable.Key TakeawaysMedical equipment designed for true one-person drag evacuation becomes critical when vehicles and multi-person teams are unavailable under drone threat and destroyed terrain.Starting with simple, locally available materials (construction-store aluminum for splints) allowed rapid production when imports were impossible.Operating underground with independent power, internet, and battery-powered tools enables continuity during blackouts and air raids.Visual quality control plus a “donation pile” for minor cosmetic defects keeps functional gear moving to the front while supporting community needs.Sustainable production requires paying people and covering costs—pure volunteering burns out and collapses.Feedback loops from soldiers drive continuous product improvement (rigidity, size options, packing for NATO pouches).Beyond the gear itself, the conversation highlights the need for dignity in recovery of the wounded and the fallen, plus long-term psychological and prosthetic support for survivors.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Disclaimer00:26 – Meet Alex: CEO of Shannon Mechanics01:15 – Company origins: Revolution of Dignity to 2014–202202:41 – Humble beginnings, scrap materials, and the siege of Kyiv04:55 – Building supply chains under closed borders07:18 – Starting with BM splints, then the Utah/drag stretcher08:06 – Material challenges and community-driven solutions11:20 – Learning the craft, teaching production, and favoring people over full automation13:26 – From volunteering to a sustainable business model16:21 – Quality control process for splints23:20 – Introducing the drag stretcher design philosophy24:02 – Why rigid NATO litters fail in modern Ukrainian conditions25:01 – One-person drag, complex terrain, drones, and secondary injury prevention28:15 – Limitations (sniper fire) and real-world evacuation stories (8 km drag, quad bike integration)30:32 – Hypothermia protection, mud/snow durability, and recovery of the fallen34:40 – PTSD as generational trauma and the need for long-term support40:00 – Managing supply chain volatility and building Ukrainian supplier capacity42:39 – What has allowed the company to succeed during warFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week, we covered so much I don't even know where to begin. I hard launched my relationship on IG (after MUCH caption & emoji discourse), splashed a few strangers in puddles with my car (with some regrets), and I learned who Jimothy is. Then, John visits my eye doctor and gets caught doing unmentionables to a plastic tush. We chat about the RHONY trailer, I continue to grovel to P.S. 22 (kinda), and am wondering what to do with the gorgeous air purifiers John Mayer put in my apartment. Plus, Bevy Smith comes by to talk her Fashion Queens reunion at Essence Fest, Oprah, and plastic surgery.

Who ultimately determines the value of a sports card—the grading company or the collectors themselves? In the concluding segment of this conversation, Jeremy, MattyC, David Chase, and Joshua Adams continue exploring the evolving role of eye appeal, grading, and collector opinion in today's hobby. Topics include: • Why Jeremy chooses not to submit cards for grading • The philosophy behind buying eye appeal instead of chasing grades • Using Eye Appeal Inc. to compare cards before making a purchase • Community-driven card evaluation versus traditional grading • Whether grading standards have changed over time • Future features planned for Eye Appeal Inc. • Questions from the live audience about submissions, raw cards, scans, stickers, and IQ+ The episode wraps up with final thoughts before everyone heads to The National, along with updates on upcoming Sports Cards Live programming, Fanatics Collect giveaways, The Hangover, and Enter the Inferno. Whether you agree or disagree with the panel's perspective, this discussion challenges collectors to think critically about how they evaluate cards—and why.

Neil McQueen learned to surf as a Texas teenager, and it changed his life – eventually pulling him away from a career as a plastics engineer and into the fight to save the very waters that shaped him. Thanks to the way ocean currents loop through the Gulf, the Texas coast collects roughly 10 times more plastic debris than any other Gulf state, much of it spilling from the massive petrochemical complex that lines its shores. In this episode of Sea Change, reporter Avery Thompson follows Neil from the surf off Mustang Island to the halls of the Texas Capitol to witness a personal reckoning with the plastics economy that helped build modern Texas—and one man's determination to leave the ocean better than he found it.To learn more about the citizen-led science project tracking pre-production plastics, called nurdles, check out the Nurdle Patrol.

Original Air Date: 8/1/2026 Episode Number: 470Episode SummaryThree topics this week. Dan opens with a paint science segment answering a listener question about urethane and enamel -- two words that appear constantly on paint labels and mean different things than most people assume. Then a full two-segment deep dive on moss and lichen: first, how to safely remove them from different types of siding, and then a step-by-step walkthrough of how Dan cleaned his own roof, what products he used, and what the warnings are. He closes with a quick listener question about painting over old glossy trim in a pre-1978 home.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Intro and Promises[02:28] -- Paint Science: Urethane vs. Enamel[07:38] -- Choosing the Right Paint[09:56] -- Moss and Lichen Overview[10:35] -- Siding Segment Setup[11:06] -- What Moss and Lichen Are[12:43] -- Cleaning Brick and Masonry[15:09] -- Cleaning Wood Safely[16:56] -- Vinyl, Stucco, and Pressure Tips[18:27] -- Protecting Plants[19:22] -- Roof Segment Begins[20:02] -- Why Remove Roof Growth[20:14] -- Roof Damage Explained[21:52] -- Dan's Roof Wake-Up Call[23:48] -- Kill It, Don't Scrape It[24:12] -- Hire Out or DIY?[25:03] -- Best Cleaners Compared[29:20] -- Prep and Protect Plants[30:53] -- Rinse, Brush, and Apply[33:58] -- Results and Safety Warnings[36:41] -- Listener Q: Glossy Trim[37:57] -- Lead, Adhesion, and Primer[39:40] -- Wrap UpUrethane vs. Enamel: A Plain-English Explanation [02:28]A listener wrote in puzzled by the word urethane showing up everywhere -- waterborne urethanes, urethane-modified acrylics, polyurethanes -- and wanted to know whether it means something specific or just marketing. He also asked which is more durable, urethane or enamel, and which he should be reaching for.The short answer: urethane and enamel are not competing terms. They describe different things entirely.Paint basics. Every can contains pigment (color and hiding), liquid (what lets you apply it), and resin -- the binder. As paint dries and the liquid leaves, the resin and pigment form the paint film. The resin has enormous influence over how the finished coating behaves: hardness, flexibility, adhesion, resistance to moisture, cleaning, and abrasion.What urethane means. Urethane isn't an extra scoop of durability added to the can. It's a type of chemical connection that can be built into the resin structure itself. When a resin contains many of those connections, it's called a polyurethane. That chemistry is associated with toughness, abrasion resistance, and resistance to cleaners -- which is why you see the word on products for cabinets, doors, railings, and floors.What enamel means. Traditionally, enamel meant an oil-based product with a hard, smooth, glossy finish -- the go-to for doors, trim, and metal. Today it's used more broadly. You can buy acrylic enamels, waterborne enamels, and urethane enamels. An enamel can absolutely use urethane chemistry. They're not opposites.The analogy. Asking which is more durable, a urethane or an enamel, is like asking whether a pickup truck is better than a diesel engine. One describes the vehicle type. The other describes the technology inside. You can have a diesel pickup, just like you can have a urethane enamel.The practical takeaway. For an ordinary bedroom wall, don't hunt for urethane -- just get good washability and the right sheen. For cabinets, doors, or railings, an enamel built for those surfaces makes sense, and it may well use urethane chemistry. For a wood floor, get a polyurethane specifically designed for foot traffic. For exterior siding, hardness isn't even the main priority -- flexibility, adhesion, and weather resistance matter more. The product's intended use matters more than the words on the label. Stop into any RepcoLite, tell them what you're painting and what kind of abuse it'll take, and they'll sort it out.Moss vs. Lichen: What You're Actually Looking At [11:06]Before cleaning anything, it helps to know what you're dealing with, because moss and lichen behave differently from the algae and mildew covered last week -- and they have to be handled differently as a result.Moss is the green fuzzy stuff -- little soft pillows of growth, kinda charming, definitely not good for your house or roof. It grips whatever it's growing on and holds moisture against the surface.Lichen is stranger and tougher. It looks almost painted or glued on -- flat, crusty patches or small leafy, ruffled growths. It can be gray-green, orange, chalky white. Lichen is actually two organisms living together: a fungus that builds the structure and grips the surface, and an algae that makes the food. Together they can live almost anywhere and attach with a grip that's very hard to break. That's the core reason they need their own conversation -- algae and mildew are essentially films sitting on the surface. Moss and lichen are anchored into the surface, into the pores of brick, the grain of wood, down into mortar. Removing them incorrectly can cause more damage than leaving them.Cleaning Moss and Lichen Off Siding [12:43]Brick and masonry. Gently knock off the thickest mounded moss first -- but gently is the word. Plastic scraper, wooden edge, or a stiff-but-not-metal brush. No wire brushes on brick, especially older or softer brick. Nothing mounted on a power tool. Working through the harder outer face of the brick exposes the softer material underneath, which holds moisture longer and becomes even more vulnerable to freeze-thaw damage. You can create next year's problem while cleaning up this year's.After removing loose material, treat remaining moss and lichen with a cleaner labeled for both the growth type and the surface. Wet & Forget is a popular spray-and-leave option -- apply it, leave it alone, and rain carries away the dead material over weeks or months. Make sure whatever you use is designed to kill moss and lichen, not just clean the surface.Wood. Be careful with straight chlorine bleach on bare or weathered wood -- it breaks down lignin, the natural binder in the wood fibers, and can leave cedar blotchy and damaged in ways that don't reverse. Sodium percarbonate (oxygenated bleach -- essentially OxiClean) is gentler on wood and on nearby plants. Soft brush, go with the grain, low pressure, no wire brush.Vinyl and aluminum. More forgiving -- growth doesn't anchor as deep on non-porous surfaces. Soft nylon brush or cloth with a cleaner labeled for that siding type, let it sit, gentle scrub, rinse. Don't spray upward under the laps.Fiber cement. Check the manufacturer's guidance. Keep it gentle and low pressure.Stucco and EIFS. Porous and on the brittle side -- soft wash, right cleaner, low pressure. Older synthetic stucco (EIFS) is especially risky; aggressive washing can force water behind cracks and joints. If the surface is already cracked or failing, call a professional.Plants. Wet down all landscaping before starting. Cover sensitive plants with light plastic, but get it off quickly -- they'll cook under it. Rinse everything again when you're done.Why You Can't Leave Roof Moss and Lichen Alone [20:02]Moss growing thicker around the edges of shingles interferes with drainage and can cause shingles to lift or deteriorate -- creating openings for water to get in. That alone is a good enough reason to deal with it.Lichen is worse on a roof than on siding because it attaches directly to the protective granules on the shingles and can cause irreversible damage as it grips and eventually pulls them loose. There's also a curb appeal issue: moss and lichen-covered roofs read as neglected or failing, whether or not that's actually true.Dan put off dealing with his own roof growth for a couple of years, telling himself it wasn't a big deal. A roofer from Sheriff Goslin Roofing -- who came out to assess the roof's lifespan -- pointed out that the moss and lichen were actively taking years off the roof by pulling granules and giving moisture more places to work. That's what finally prompted action.Hire Out or DIY? [24:12]Before getting into the process, Dan makes the case for hiring it out -- because for a lot of people, that's the right answer. There are companies that specialize in roof and exterior cleaning. If the roof is steep, high, difficult to access, or if heights aren't your thing, hiring a professional is absolutely the right call. A fall is a lot worse than a moss problem.If you're still planning to do it yourself, read on.Cleaner Options for Moss and Lichen on Roofs [25:03]Wet & Forget. Apply per label directions and leave it. The treatment kills growth over time, and rain carries the dead material away over the following weeks and months. No rinsing, no aggressive follow-up. Depending on your roof pitch and setup, you may be able to apply most of it from a ladder or even the ground -- though you have to be very careful not to force water up under shingles at the wrong angle. Dan's roofer confirmed his customers have had good results with it.Oxygenated bleach / sodium percarbonate (essentially OxiClean). This is what Dan used. Mix approximately one pound of oxygenated bleach per two gallons of water. Apply with a pump-up garden sprayer. This is gentler on plants and on...

Both of these files existed on paper long before anybody called them cases. A marriage record out of 2008. A deputy's report out of 2024. Different states, different decades, and in both of them an official name went on the line and nothing happened next.The full live discussion — d4vd evidence, David Burke's backstory, and the Siders 16 kids case with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.In Los Angeles, days of preliminary hearing testimony have built a picture of a rented Hollywood Hills garage. Presumptive reactions on the floor mats and the bricks beneath them, on a rowing machine, on a tarp, on a trash bag with wipes inside it. An inflatable pool that looked clean and smelled like laundry, glowing in one place. Plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy fitted into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces. Defense attorney Blair Berk hammering everything investigators never swabbed or collected.Tony and Robin do not recap it. They argue it, item by item, from the defense side of the table.Then they go back to the beginning of David Burke — homeschooled, isolated, online, signed at seventeen, and the creator of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own music videos.Then Robin Dreeke comes in for Ohio. Sixteen children out of one house in Hamden. A room roughly twelve feet by twelve. An attorney general saying that waiting longer very likely meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults, sixteen counts each, four not guilty pleas, and a defense attorney arguing this is poverty and isolation rather than evil.Two cases. One question underneath both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen.

This is episode 4 of a six-part series on food imperialism. Welcome to Edible Empire, a podcast by Planet Pulse Pacific about the hidden cost of our food.We celebrate flavours, but rarely the people behind them. This podcast uncovers how food—once shaped by empire and now by corporate power—has long been used to control land, labour, and cultures.This episode explores the hidden links between salmon farming in northern Europe and tomato production in southern Spain, revealing the human and environmental costs behind cheap, year-round food.What connects salmon farming in northern Europe with tomato farming in southern Spain? These two, seemingly distinct food supply chains ensure that our supermarket shelves are stocked with cheap, year-round food. What we don't see, however, are the hidden links - the overfishing along the coast of West Africa that destroys local communities' livelihoods and drives migration to Europe; the dangerous journeys by small boat where 1 in 5 people die; the entrapment of migrants arriving in exploitative agricultural labour in Spain's intensive greenhouses. This episode examines the story of salmon farming and tomato greenhouses - and highlights the hidden costs of commodified food.This episode uncovers the destructive and interconnected global supply chains linking northern European salmon aquaculture to southern Spanish greenhouse agriculture. Through interviews with four expert guests, the episode traces how the booming Norwegian salmon farming industry relies heavily on wild-caught ocean feed extracted from West Africa.Investigative journalists Simen Sætre, Hazel Healy, and Brigitte Wear expose the ecological crises, corporate opacity, and false sustainability narratives surrounding aquaculture, whilst Dr Aliou Ba of Greenpeace Africa details how this industrial plundering has collapsed local artisanal fisheries and triggered a profound food security crisis in Senegal. This environmental degradation ultimately forces thousands of displaced West Africans to undertake a perilous sea voyage to Spain, where researcher María Alonso Martínez reveals they are heavily exploited as undocumented migrant labourers, working under inhumane conditions within Almería's vast "Sea of Plastic" to harvest the cheap winter vegetables that stock European supermarket shelves.Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on the next episode!Resources from this episode:https://norla.no/en/books/1286-the-new-fish-the-global-history-of-salmon-farminghttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735421/the-new-fish-by-simen-saetre-and-kjetil-ostli/To view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee or becoming a member of Athletes for Nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to this podcast, and share this episode with your friends and family.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kate Assaraf, founder of Dipped—a plastic-free shampoo and conditioner bar company born from 20 years in the beauty industry and a decade of frustration. In 2014, Kate discovered something most people don't know: plastic is way more problematic than the average consumers know. Recycling is a farce. Plastic leaches chemicals into our bloodstream and messes with our endocrine systems. But instead of guilt-tripping people into sustainability, she built something radical: a product so good, people switch for quality and savings first, then realize it's plastic-free as a bonus.They explore:Why most sustainable beauty products fail: they're made for a specific avatar (linen-wearing boho) and disappoint people switching from expensive hair careBuilding a brand on integrity, not influencers: no UGC actors, no AI, only actual paying customers. Result: 0.006% return rate.Reinvesting in local economy: money spent at zero-waste stores stays in your community, supports your fire department and schools, brings back face-to-face commerceKate's philosophy is simple: don't guilt people into doing the right thing. Give them really good stuff. Treat smart women like smart women. Let quality and integrity be your marketing. The scaffolding is strong, the messaging is real, and people buy it over and over again.Connect with Kate:DipAlready.comInstagram: instagram.com/dipalreadyLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kate-assaraf-b25a741a7Referenced in this Episode:HiBar: hellohibar.comBite: bitetoothpastebits.com________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

In July 1969, Job Gonzalez was lowered into a tunnel where his enemy was waiting. When he resurfaced minutes later, he was out of the frying pan and into the fire. His valor that day earned him a Silver Star recommendation that lost its way in the chaos. A mechanical engineer, Job describes trauma in the only language that fits: the point where a material bends and can't spring back.

Jonathan Dyer emailed: "Hey Marc, Thank you thank you. Lovely programme as always (I'm currently listening … as far as Dál Riata so far… whilst sending the final DDP and artwork off for the album.  So it's really finished.… and trying not to melt in the unseasonably weather that we're really not cut out for. Much love" John Mahony messaged on Patreon: "Mark, thanks and bravo for the stand on AI. It seems it's getting harder and harder to avoid, let alone the impact on the environment and people's jobs in other fields. Let's keep finding ways to support real people making real music! Slainte!" John Sharkey White, II messaged in response to the Plastic Free July PSA: "Hi Mark, I was listening to one of your latest podcasts and, as a physician, thought I could add to your discussion of plastics. I wanted to share some important health information about plastic containers. New research shows that tiny pieces of plastic — called microplastics — may be getting into our bodies more than most people realize. What Are Microplastics? Microplastics are very small plastic pieces, usually smaller than a pencil eraser. They break off from larger plastics over time. Scientists have found these particles in human blood, lungs, liver, and even in unborn babies. This means most people are already being exposed. How Do They Get Into Our Bodies? Plastic food and drink containers are one of the main sources. When plastic containers get scratched, worn out, or heated up, they can release tiny particles into your food or drink. Bottled water and packaged foods are also common sources. Plastics also contain added chemicals — like phthalates and bisphenols — that can leak into what you eat and drink. Why Does It Matter? Scientists are still learning how harmful microplastics really are, but early studies suggest they may cause inflammation, cell damage, and problems with the immune system. Some research also points to possible links with heart disease and reproductive health. Most experts agree that more studies are needed before we fully understand the risks. What Can You Do? The good news is there are simple steps you can take to lower your exposure: Switch to glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers when you can Never microwave food in plastic — heat causes plastic to release more particles and chemicals Use a reusable stainless - steel water bottle instead of single - use plastic bottles Cut back on bottled water Try to buy food with less plastic packaging Throw away old or scratched plastic containers Dust and vacuum your home regularly — microplastics can float in the air too You probably can't avoid microplastics completely, but these small changes can make a real difference while scientists continue to study the long - term effects."

Join Dr. Maurizio Crippa, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of GR3N, for a deep dive into the chemical realities required to achieve a true circular economy. For decades, global sustainability initiatives relied on traditional mechanical recycling—a process that cuts polymer chains, degrades material quality, and inevitably results in plastic downcycling and eventual landfill disposal. Maurizio argues that to close the loop on complex human waste, we must move past these physical limitations and embrace advanced chemical recycling. Drawing from a distinguished career in materials science and his tenure as Vice President of Chemical Recycling Europe, Maurizio breaks down how GR3N uses a proprietary microwave-assisted technology to split PET plastics and polyester textiles back into their virgin-quality chemical building blocks, and why building deep-tech environmental infrastructure requires a complete shift in both societal mindsets and patient capital.

Billions of pounds of plastic end up in our global oceans every year. Birds – like this Short-tailed Shearwater –  that mistake this pollution for food often die from malnutrition, poisoning, or damage to their digestive systems. We can all make the world a safer place for birds and people by keeping plastic out of our waterways. You can replace single-use plastics with reusable items, join a community clean up day in your area, or maybe skip party balloons at your next event. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Plastic Bottles & Summer Vacations – Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares, the Philanthropic Arm of Niagara Water, America's Largest Water Bottler   "We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams …We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …We're now running lines that are entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like." Ann Marie (Canela) Chock on Electric Ladies Podcast Summer vacations tend to include a lot of plastic bottles - at the beach, in the car, at the airport. In 2025, people consumed an astonishing 500+ billion plastic bottles. That's about1 million plastic bottles per minute! Drinking water is good for you, but how do we deal with all that plastic? What's the responsibility of the bottling company for all that plastic?   Listen to Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating and candid conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. (Note: This was recorded before she got married and changed her name to Chock.)   You'll hear about: ●        How bottled water gets to your local market, ●        How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ●        Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, 'what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?"

Who convinced us that the fate of the world rests on our personal recycling habits? Does it even make a difference? Melissa Valliant serves as the communications director at Beyond Plastics, a nationwide environmental advocacy group. In this episode, Melissa shares how recycling isn't just imperfect, but a decades-old PR strategy engineered by the same fossil fuel, petrochemical, and consumer goods giants that profit from plastic production. You'll hear the war origins of the plastics boom, who quietly bankrolled the Keep America Beautiful campaign & the logistical reasons that only 5-6% of everything you carefully sort actually makes it to recycling. She also covers the real bottom line on what will move the needle as well as how to keep your family healthy from the chemicals leaching from plastic. If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 140: CAN HAIR SAVE THE WORLD?

The extreme heat that's becoming far more common in a warming world is now being linked to dental problems. As the body prioritizes sweat for cooling over saliva production, the resulting dry mouth can have devastating impacts on your teeth, and a dentist in Pakistan is documenting a tooth decay trend among his patients who work outdoors in the heat for prolonged periods. Also, cheap and convenient plastic products are everywhere you turn, and the microplastics they break down to are now in our water, soil, air, and deep inside our bodies. Joining us to discuss her 2025 book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late is Judith Enck, a former EPA Regional Administrator and the founder and President of the advocacy group Beyond Plastics.   Plus -- it's peak summer travel season, and for many people traveling in the US that means a visit to a national park or monument. After all, "America's crown jewels” are ideal places to disconnect and reconnect with nature and our shared history. Will Shafroth, recently retired CEO of the National Park Foundation, takes a virtual road trip of sorts with us to share the magic of the national parks. Learn more about your ad choices.

In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation?In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies.Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results.This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

A highly venomous eastern brown snake was found seeking warmth under a plastic wheelie bin at a Canberra school. A snake catcher safely removed the reptile, employing calm showmanship to prevent audience panic. The snake was relocated ten kilometers away to ensure it could not navigate back. (10)
