ABOUT POLAR WARPOLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.ABOUT KENNETH R. ROSENKenneth R. Rosen is the recipient of a Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism and the Bayeux-Calvados Award for War Correspondents, a two-time finalist for the Livingston Award for his work in Syria and Iraq, and an Ira A.

Guest: Gregory Copley. President Trump's interest in acquiring or occupying Greenland is driven by the island's strategic value for polar routes, satellite contact, and missile positioning, though Copley argues that administration claims regarding Russian and Chinese provocation in the area are exaggerated to justify the move. While the U.S. seeks to enforce a version of the Monroe Doctrine across the Americas to ensure hegemonic control, this approach risks alienating loyal allies like Denmark, especially since the Greenlandic people have no desire to become Americansdespite close defense ties.1770 GREENLAND
When you learned in school about the fabled drama of Robert E. Peary and Frederick Cook - how they raced each other to be the first explorer to reach the North Pole - did your teachers explain that this was an early example where public figures lied to gain glory? oth The New York Times and New York Herald enabled them, by spreading the explorers' fake news - although critics still debate whether the publishers knew the stories were fake or didn't bother to corroborate the explorers' stories. Journalist Darrell Hartman tells us life and death tales from his fascinating book, Battle of Ink and Ice, that shed light on the perils of vanity and competition for fame and profit.
SUN, SAND, AND SANTAS IN BOARD SHORTS: AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Jeremy Zakis describes Christmas in Australia as the polar opposite of the Northern Hemisphere, featuring clear skies and temperatures in the mid-80s ideal for outdoor barbecues. While Queensland faced heavy rain and floods, most of the country enjoyed hot weather perfect for beach visits. Zakis details traditions like the Boxing Day cricket test and notes that while mall Santas wear wool, outdoor Santas often don board shorts and flip-flops. 1933 SYDNEY

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: MATEUS 2:1-5,7-12 Plano De Leitura Anual: HABACUQUE 1–3; APOCALIPSE 15 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: “Se você encontrar aquela estrela, sempre poderá encontrar o caminho de casa.” Essas foram as palavras de meu pai, ao me ensinar a localizar a Estrela do Norte, quando criança. Papai tinha servido nas Forças Armadas durante a guerra e houve momentos em que a vida dele dependia de capacidade de navegar sob o céu noturno. Ele garantiu que eu soubesse os nomes e localizações de várias constelações, mas encontrar a estrela Polar era o mais importante. Saber a localização dessa estrela significava adquirir o senso de direção onde quer que estivesse e encontrar o meu caminho. As Escrituras falam de outra estrela de essencial importância. Alguns sábios do Oriente (área que hoje pertence ao Irã e Iraque) estavam atentos às estrelas no céu que indicavam o local do nascimento de quem seria o rei de Deus para o Seu povo. Eles vieram a Jerusalém perguntando: “Onde está o recém-nascido rei dos judeus? Vimos sua estrela no Oriente e viemos adorá-lo” (MATEUS 2:1-2). Os astrônomos não sabem o que causou o aparecimento da estrela de Belém, mas a Bíblia revela que Deus a criou para que o mundo se voltasse para Jesus: “a brilhante estrela da manhã” (APOCALIPSE 22:16). Cristo veio para nos salvar de nossos pecados e nos guiar de volta a Deus. Siga-o e você encontrará o caminho de casa. Por: JAMES BANKS

In this episode of Comic Stripped, we dive into one of the wildest comic-to-film gaps ever: Victor Santos' silent, minimalist noir Polar: It Came From the Cold and Netflix's loud, neon-soaked action flick Polar starring Mads Mikkelsen. The comic is all style and silence—sharp lines, stark colors, and a cold assassin drifting through a dying world. The movie throws that out for explosive violence, cartoon villains, and a full John Wick makeover. We break down how the same character becomes two completely different stories, why the adaptation swings so hard away from the source, and what this says about Hollywood's obsession with recreating Wick-style hits without understanding what makes them work.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Flying around the world is rare. Doing it solo is even rarer. Doing it twice, once along the equator and once over both poles, is unheard of. But that's exactly what entrepreneur and aviator, Robert DeLaurentis, achieved. And he didn't do it in a jet with a support crew on standby. He did it in highly modified aircraft pushed beyond its intended envelope, relying on custom ferry tanks, improvised fixes, and the kind of real-time decision-making that leaves zero margin for error. These weren't sightseeing flights; they were missions built on risk, resilience, and engineering improvisation at 31,000 feet. Most circumnavigations are engineering challenges. Robert turned his into a multi-layered mission: scientific research, global outreach, and a stress test of what a single pilot and a single aircraft can actually endure. Along the way, he carried NASA-funded experiments, gathered atmospheric data over the poles, and documented systems failures that would've ended most expeditions. He navigated cyclones, fuel constraints, unpredictable polar weather, and airspace so remote he had to calculate every pound of fuel twice. But the story doesn't stop at the poles. Robert has also built a financially self-sustaining airport, a discovery-flight pipeline for high school students, and a blueprint for how small airports can support the future of urban air mobility. How do you take the mindset required for a polar circumnavigation and apply it to rebuilding an airport from scratch? And what does it look like when an aviation legacy is engineered just as intentionally as a record-breaking flight? In this episode, the star of the new movie PEACE PILOT joins me to unpack the equatorial flight that pushed a Malibu Mirage to its limits, the polar expedition that demanded a three-times-extended-range Commander, and the string of failures, near-misses, last-second adjustments, and improbable wins that held the entire mission together. You'll also learn; Why meaning (not adrenaline) sustains pilots through extreme-risk missions What it takes to execute equatorial and polar circumnavigations The scientific payloads carried over the poles The realization that reframed Robert's entire mission The emotional and spiritual cost of flying alone in the most remote places on earth The business model behind a self-sustaining private airport How discovery flights and upgraded training aircraft engage the next generation Why legacy matters more than any single record or milestone About the Guest Robert DeLaurentis is a Polar and Equatorial Circumnavigator, Peace Pilot, Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur. Robert went on the audacious quest to fly to the South Pole and then the North Pole, surviving temperatures as low as -60°C, in a 38-year-old, heavily modified Turbo Commander 900. This daring venture is not merely a test of flying skill and human endurance but a profound journey of peace and planetary unity under the banner “One planet. One people. One plane.” Setting out three years after his first solo circumnavigation, Robert confronts not only the extreme challenges of the polar skies but also a series of life-threatening technical mishaps and a global pandemic. From taking off against unfavorable winds over daunting mountain ranges to dealing with fuel leaks and multiple system failures, each moment of the flight could very well be his last. PEACE PILOT captures not only the heart-stopping action and terrifying close calls but also delves into Robert's internal voyage towards greater self-awareness and commitment to environmental conservation. This film is a gripping narrative of survival, human fortitude, and the urgent collective effort needed to safeguard our planet.

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we read an email from a listener who, as a kid, shared a fun fact with her classroom: polar bears have black skin. Her teacher not only told her she was wrong but embarrassed her in front of the other students. Well, it's time to set the record straight. Polar bears do, in fact, have black skin and we do, in fact, love a grudge and are so glad to provide vindication. Then we talk about the hidden world of insect vibrational communication.We need your stories — they're what make these bonus episodes possible!

Your RV Navigators want to wish all of our listeners a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. For your favorite RVer, we've included some gift suggestions in case your still shopping. This month has been a busy one for us, as we travel to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears in their nature environment. This was not an RV trip as we traveled by plane 1300 miles North to Hudson Bay, home to the Polar bears. Viewing is done in tundra rovers. These are large bus like vehicle that are designed for rough terrain with huge wheels and special suspension/engine. We were luck to get within feet of the bears for some great photos. This was a 6 day adventure so we were back home in IL before we knew it ready to head back to FL for a couple of weeks. Now after TG we are once again back up north ready too enjoy the holiday season in snow.

Transcript:Nl: De lucht boven de uitgestrekte Arctische toendra was grijs en zwaar.En: The sky above the vast Arctic tundra was gray and heavy.Nl: Onder de koude hemel liepen Bas, Sanne en Dirk voorzichtig over het knarsende sneeuwtapijt.En: Under the cold sky, Bas, Sanne, and Dirk cautiously walked over the crunching carpet of snow.Nl: Het was begin december, en de koude wind sneden hen in wangen en handen.En: It was early December, and the cold wind bit at their cheeks and hands.Nl: Toch was de sfeer goed, want over een paar dagen zouden ze Sinterklaas vieren.En: Nevertheless, the mood was good because in a few days they would celebrate Sinterklaas.Nl: Bas was opgewonden.En: Bas was excited.Nl: Hij wilde een foto maken die zijn leven zou veranderen.En: He wanted to take a photo that would change his life.Nl: Hij had ooit gelezen over een prestigieuze fotowedstrijd en droomde ervan de perfecte foto van een ijsbeer met haar welpen te maken.En: He had once read about a prestigious photography contest and dreamed of capturing the perfect photo of a polar bear with her cubs.Nl: Sanne hield haar notitieboekje klemvast.En: Sanne held her notebook tightly.Nl: Ze was gefascineerd door de gewoonten van deze prachtige dieren.En: She was fascinated by the habits of these magnificent animals.Nl: Dirk, hun gids, keek op zijn kompas en leidde de groep verder.En: Dirk, their guide, checked his compass and led the group further.Nl: Hij wist dat het weer snel kon veranderen.En: He knew the weather could change quickly.Nl: De ijzige vlakte leek eindeloos stil en verlaten.En: The icy plain seemed endlessly silent and deserted.Nl: Er was alleen hun ademhaling en het zachte gekraak van hun stappen.En: There was only their breathing and the soft crunch of their steps.Nl: Maar de stilte bedekte een rijkdom aan leven.En: But the silence masked a wealth of life.Nl: Hier, in de koudheid, wisten ze dat ijsberen op zoek waren naar hun volgende maaltijd.En: Here, in the cold, they knew that polar bears were searching for their next meal.Nl: Sanne wees plots in de verte en riep: "Kijk daar!"En: Sanne suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look there!"Nl: Verre op een ijsrichel zagen ze een ijsbeer met twee nieuwsgierige welpen.En: Far away, on an ice ridge, they saw a polar bear with two curious cubs.Nl: "Dit is het moment," fluisterde Bas opgewonden.En: "This is the moment," whispered Bas excitedly.Nl: Hij pakte zachtjes zijn camera en zocht de beste hoek.En: He gently took out his camera and searched for the best angle.Nl: Sanne en Dirk hielden hun adem in.En: Sanne and Dirk held their breath.Nl: Maar net toen hij wilde klikken, begon de lucht te veranderen.En: But just as he was about to click, the sky began to change.Nl: Donkere wolken kwamen opzetten, gevolgd door wind die sneeuwvlokken om hun hoofden liet dansen.En: Dark clouds rolled in, followed by wind that sent snowflakes dancing around their heads.Nl: De sneeuwstorm begon.En: The snowstorm began.Nl: "Bas, we moeten terug," riep Dirk, zijn stem bijna verloren in het huilen van de wind.En: "Bas, we have to head back," called Dirk, his voice almost lost in the howling wind.Nl: Bas wist dat het gevaarlijk was, maar zijn droomfoto was zo dichtbij.En: Bas knew it was dangerous, but his dream photo was so close.Nl: Hij besloot te blijven.En: He decided to stay.Nl: Met een snelle beweging zette hij zijn camera klaar en richtte op de ijsberen.En: With a swift motion, he set up his camera and aimed at the polar bears.Nl: De sneeuw wervelde, en de wereld leek voor een moment stil te staan.En: The snow swirled, and the world seemed to stand still for a moment.Nl: Bas klikte een paar keer en toen besefte hij dat de storm hen niet lang veilig zou laten.En: He clicked a few times and then realized the storm wouldn't keep them safe for long.Nl: Ze haastten zich terug naar het kamp, de wind aan hun zijde.En: They rushed back to the camp, the wind at their side.Nl: Binnen bij het warme lichtje van de kachel dronken ze warme chocolademelk.En: Inside, by the warm glow of the stove, they drank hot chocolate.Nl: Bas keek naar zijn camera.En: Bas looked at his camera.Nl: "Ik denk dat ik het heb," zei hij.En: "I think I've got it," he said.Nl: Sanne en Dirk glimlachten, opgelucht dat ze veilig waren.En: Sanne and Dirk smiled, relieved that they were safe.Nl: Op de avond van Sinterklaas was het kamp gevuld met de geur van speculaas en de warmte van gezelschap.En: On the evening of Sinterklaas, the camp was filled with the scent of speculaas and the warmth of companionship.Nl: Terwijl ze hun cadeautjes uitwisselden, begreep Bas iets belangrijks.En: As they exchanged gifts, Bas understood something important.Nl: Het ging niet alleen om die ene foto.En: It wasn't just about that one photo.Nl: Het waren de herinneringen, de spanning en het samen zijn met Sanne en Dirk die deze reis speciaal maakten.En: It was the memories, the thrill, and being together with Sanne and Dirk that made this journey special.Nl: Hoewel de sirene-roep van de competitie sterk was, wist Bas dat de reis zelf de echte prijs was.En: Even though the siren call of the competition was strong, Bas knew that the journey itself was the real prize.Nl: En zo, in de essentie van de Arctische kou, was de warmte van vriendschap en gedeelde ervaringen zijn grootste schat.En: And so, in the essence of the Arctic cold, the warmth of friendship and shared experiences was his greatest treasure.

China's Floating Island, Metamaterials, and Polar Ambitions — Brandon Weichert, Gordon Chang — Brandon Weichert discusses China developing an artificial floating island, potentially engineered to withstand nuclear detonation. He characterizes the platform as a next-generation man-made island designed for anti-access and area-denial capabilities. Weichert emphasizes that the core technology—metamaterials—holds critical applications for infrastructure in extreme polar environments, including the Arctic and Antarctic. Gordon Chang notes widespread pessimism in China regarding the prohibitive cost of such massive engineering projects. 1906 DRUM TOWER

Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the wonders of science on this week’s Science Weekly! This episode plunges us deep beneath the waves as we uncover how dolphins and other ocean animals manage to hold their breath for astonishing lengths of time. Then, we shift from sea to psychology as Battle of the Sciences takes us inside the human mind to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can shape our physical health. In Science in the News, Australian tropical rainforests have shocked scientists by releasing more carbon than they absorb. We’re also heading to Wales, where plans for a ground-breaking nuclear power station are underway. And Barny Reed from the RSPCA joins Dan to explain how the UK is moving toward more humane animal testing. Then it’s over to your questions! Misha wants to know how braces work, and Alison Wood from Whale and Dolphin Conservation reveals how dolphins hold their breath for so long. Dangerous Dan returns with the grolar bear, a rare hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear. And in Battle of the Sciences, Mark McDermott champions health psychology, showing how the way we think and feel can affect our bodies. Plus, Marina Ventura dives back in with another Ocean Adventure, exploring how oceans help humans survive and thrive. This week, we learn about:– How dolphins stay underwater for so long– Why some rainforests are releasing carbon– How braces straighten teeth– What makes the grolar bear so unusual– How psychology affects your health All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1954

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Roscosmos Debates New Space Station Orbit: Cost-Effective Soyuz Path Versus Polar Orbit for Northern Survey GUEST NAME: Anatoly Zak 50-WORD SUMMARY: Anatoly Zak discusses Roscosmos's debate on the orbit for a post-ISS space station, balancing money against usefulness. Choosing the 51° orbit allows use of the operational Soyuz vehicle for delivering crews and is the cheapest, simplest, and most economical way to proceed. However, the polar orbit is more conducive for surveying the northern shoreline, which is opening due to ice retreat. 1959 Retry
