In part two of Philippa's conversation with Andrew Wincott (Adam Macy in The Archers), the Facebook group gets its say — and they did not hold back. Over 60 questions and comments came in, and Philippa works through as many as possible.Highlights include: Does Adam lack self-awareness or is he just a muppet? How much of his behaviour comes down to never having Brian's approval? What would have happened if he'd gone off with Charlie Thomas? Does Adam's eye still wander? What's happening with Xander? And which Archers character would most likely make a deal with Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3?Plus — the return of Thorkil the Danish agricultural student, the longest same-sex relationship in any continuing drama, and who Adam would pick as his Race Across the World partner.Topics covered: Adam Macy | Brian Aldridge | Charlie Thomas | Xander | Torquil | Jennifer Aldridge | Baldur's Gate 3 | Raphael | Race Across the World | The Archers 2025 | Listener Q&AYou can contact us here: quickbookreviews@outlook.com Hosted on Acast.

Today, we are joined by Sarah from Wendy Wu and chat about how the latest series of Race Across the World is generating bookings and their new Cruise and Tour and Tour and Beach products.
Before we get started, a quick warning: this episode contains spoilers. So if you haven't finished watching the latest series of Race Across the World, I'd suggest turning off now and coming back once you have!Race Across the World is one of those shows that just gets under your skin, isn't it? You start off thinking you're watching a travel programme, and then suddenly you're so emotionally invested in people trying to get across a border, find a cheap hostel, or make it onto a 29-hour train with no phone and barely any money. This season, five pairs travel over 12,000 kilometres, from Palermo in Sicily all the way to Hatgal in Mongolia, without smartphones, internet access, flights or bank cards, relying instead on instinct, kindness, grit and a lot of very long bus and train journeys.And at the heart of it all were today's guests: best friends Jo and Kush from Liverpool, who not only won the series, but completely won over viewers along the way. Their friendship was such a joy to watch and there was something so lovely about seeing two young men support each other so openly through the highs and lows.What I loved about chatting to them is that Race Across the World has this brilliant sense of mystery around it. As a viewer, I'm always wondering how the show actually works. So in this episode, we really get into all of that. We talk about the audition process, the secrecy around winning, the budget, the homestays, the toilets, the borders, the long-distance trains, and what it's really like travelling without your phone in your pocket. And of course, we talk about the places too. From Sorrento and Naples, to Tbilisi in Georgia, the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, the vast landscapes of Kazakhstan, and the wild, icy beauty of Mongolia.Destination Recap:Palermo, Sicily, ItalySorrento, ItalyNaples, ItalyGreeceTürkiyeKars, TürkiyeGeorgiaTbilisi, GeorgiaAzerbaijanUzbekistanKyrgyzstanJalal-Abad, KyrgyzstanBishkek, KyrgyzstanKazakhstanKyzylorda, KazakhstanAlmaty, KazakhstanMongoliaUlaanbaatar, MongoliaHatgal, MongoliaLake Khövsgöl, MongoliaKathmandu, NepalPunjab, IndiaCentral IndiaSri LankaCosta RicaBrazilRio de Janeiro, BrazilWith thanks to...Richard Haworth - Discover their luxury hotel-quality bedding, towels and table linen at Richard Haworth At HomeAirbnb - Your home might be worth more than you think.

Two massive black figures sprint across a highway near Memphis just seconds before a tractor-trailer reaches them.What happened next made the witness realize these were not people.In this intense episode of Bigfoot Society, Dan shares years of encounters gathered while traveling and working across the eastern United States. His experiences include giant footprints near a remote South Carolina tree farm, terrifying vocalizations behind his trailer in Shelby, North Carolina, strange movement near Point Pleasant's abandoned TNT bunkers, and unsettling discoveries inside the eerie remains of Centralia, Pennsylvania.Dan describes silent movement in the woods, deep guttural sounds echoing through creek beds, broken trees, possible trackways, and nighttime encounters that happened disturbingly close to where people live.

Qu'est ce que ça prend pour réussir à organiser un événement d'ultra-distance? Pour David Proulx, il faut surtout prendre le temps de s'assurer que tous les participants en ressortent gagnant.

Best known as the co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian is now turning his focus to the future of women's sport. Once overlooked and underfunded, it is now undergoing rapid change. Alexis is today announcing he's bringing his all-female track and field meet series, Athlos, to London. He tells Anita Rani why, and talks about being married to one of the most successful and well known sports stars of all time - Serena Williams.Some social media posts relating to menstruation, menopause, fertility and sexual health are being incorrectly flagged as 'adult content', then removed or their visibility limited - a practice described as 'shadow banning'. Charities and health professionals have signed an open letter to Meta - who own Facebook and Instagram - asking for an explanation for what they call the 'hiding' of information about women's health. Anita speaks to the BBC's Shona McCallum, the CEO of gynaecological charity The Eve Appeal Athena Lamnisos, and Tania who has personally experienced the benefit of this sort of content.The Emma Rice Company's theatre show adaptation of Enid Blyton's 1940s boarding school books, Malory Towers, is touring the UK. It's the brainchild of the company's director, Emma Rice, formerly artistic director at Shakespeare's Globe in London. And it comes in the same year that Blyton's series celebrates its 80th anniversary. Emma joins Anita.Margo Oakley tells Anita about her experience on the current series of the BBC TV show Race Across The World, making it to the final, and the incredible feedback she's had from audiences on her combination of optimism and vulnerability. She talks about grieving the loss of her sister Julia and coming together with her brother-in-law for this mammoth challenge.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Sarah Crawley

Hello and welcome to Don't Spoil the Ending - Episode 60 We're back to a three man pod this week as Sam hosts Ste and JT to talk all things games, TV, film and books. We start by diving into a Joe Schmo segment and the fight to be CM Punk's number one fan. JT talks about the new Exit 8 film based on the cult favourite game and our foreign film correspondent reviews The Swedish connection. We dig into the new Lee Cronin's The Mummy film and Sam doesn't have a fun time watching Greenland 2. Ste and JT take us through their early thoughts on Atomfall, a British based survival game set in an alternative history in the North West of England. JT has a quick review of the Soul Reaver remastered games and Ste updates us on his World of Tanks progress. In recent TV we've watched, Sam talks us through season 1 of the critically acclaimed The Pitt. Ste has been enjoying Dorohedoro, an anime series featuring a half man / half lizard as the main character and the new Zach Galifinakis series, This Is a Gardening Show. JT and Sam indulge in some trash TV watching Temptation Island on Nexflix. Sam carries on a reality TV theme living vicariously through Race Across the World.

Flo und Peter sprechen über Peters Solo-Sieg beim Race Across East Germany – über 1.000 Kilometer quer durch den Osten. Es geht um monatelange Vorbereitung, Wintertraining, Streckenplanung, Schlafstrategie und die Frage, was passiert, wenn Kopf und Körper irgendwann sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen von „weiterfahren“ haben. Peter erzählt, wie man so ein Rennen nicht nur überlebt, sondern gewinnt – zwischen Gegenwind, Checkpoints, mentalen Tiefpunkten und diesem einen Moment, in dem Aufgeben einfach keine Option mehr ist. Eine Folge über Ultracycling, Ostdeutschland bei Nacht und die ziemlich ehrliche Kunst, immer noch einmal weiterzutreten.

Carl Fréchette a remporté le 1 000 km de la Race Across Québec 2025. Diabétique de type 1 depuis l'adolescence, Carl gère sa glycémie en temps réel pendant chaque sortie: pompe à insuline, lecteur en continu sur Apple Watch, bidons de dextrose pur en cas d'hypoglycémie.

Les arrêts dépanneurs minutés à 5 minutes. Et la prochaine étape: le 2 500 km en 2026! Cet épisode est présenté par Édika ☕ d'un passionné à un autre.

Matt and Dawn are joined by Mo Walker to review four new shows available to watch this week. Race Across The World returns and still manages to delight us. Hugh Bonneville returns as Ian Fletcher, who is in charge of running the World Cup after leaving the BBC. Twenty Twenty Six is the third in the 'Fletcher trilogy' after 2012 and W1A, but does this third instalment live up to the previous two series, or has John Morton's mockumentary run out of steam? Next, and both available on Sky, there's strange comedy drama, The Minature Wife, about a successful novelist (Elisabeth Banks) who is accidentally shrunk to miniature by her inept and power-hungry scientist (Mathew MacFayden). Lastly, there's another comic, murder mystery in The Burbs. The series is led by a striking performance from Keke Palmer and podcast favourites Paula Pell of Girls5eva and Dying For Sex, and Mark Proksch from What We Do in the Shadows. Less convincing is Jack Whitehall.

Send a textMy guest this week on Thrive Solo is British country singer-songwriter, Harley Moon Kemp, who also happens to be the daughter of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, and Shirlie Kemp of both Pepsi and Shirlie, and Wham. Harley Moon appeared in last year's Celebrity Race Across The World with her brother, Roman Kemp, and not only did they appear in it, but they won it. I'm sure many of you will have seen it and subsequently heard Harley Moon mention her happily single status. In this episode, Harley Moon and I talk about how she ended up getting into country music in particular and what she loves most about that genre; we talk about how she is absolutely loving single life right now; we talk about how her parents very happy marriage has impacted what she wants and expects from a relationship. We also discuss the shift in the dating scene in her generation, how people are no longer going out to meet people in the way they used to, and how dating as a high profile person can present its own challenges. 02:15 Meet Harley Moon Kemp03:45 Harley Moon's Musical Journey06:00 Discovering Country Music14:47 Embracing Single Life23:49 The Modern Dating Scene31:07 The Inspiration Behind 'My Girls (Love Me Better)'32:45 Reflecting on the song 'I Know What Good Looks Like'35:12 Personal Reflections on Relationships38:43 Living with Intention and Positivity47:29 The Adventure of 'Race Across the World'54:43 Final Thoughts and FarewellFollow Harley Moon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harleymoonkempListen to Harley Moon on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lTrAtvHlfVsJZgXMMR05X Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!
Wait at least seven seconds, because we are back for our surprise eighth season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're beginning the year by going all the way back to 2012's offering in Iceland & Spain! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are prone to hyperbole when they tell stories - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and negotiating their way through everything that happened on another season with a very interesting backstory now built upon further by Renaissamce, continuing with the fifth episode and elimination of Marit. In this episode - Logan reviews Race Across the World, Michael's had a surprise visitor or two, we wonder if the same person got a red screen in back-to-back episodes, William prepares an outfit, it's boring watching people do paperwork, Art shows off his Spanish, bingo is (reluctantly) made easier, Frits channels his inner Buscemi, Anne-Marie shows off her athleticism, Marit might be the least-memorable fifth episode boot ever, Logan gets an early birthday present, William has a stupid moment, Marit wastes her advantage and the fifth set of suspects are locked in. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 6! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 9, 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 9-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

The Government has announced a £3 billion investment to create around 50,000 new specialised places for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The aim is to speed up support for families and improve provision in both mainstream schools and bespoke facilities. To discuss what that means in practice, Anita Rani is joined by the BBC's Education Correspondent Vanessa Clarke and Sharon Smith, co-director of Special Needs Jungle, a parent-led UK website and resource hub providing news, information, and advocacy for families with children with special educational needs.One of the unexpected stars of this year's Celebrity Race Across The World has been Anita's Dad, Bal, with many people commenting on their touching father/ daughter relationship. Since reaching the finish line, he's now discovered his wanderlust and Anita catches up with him on a Christmas cruise to look back at their time travelling together. The Government's long-delayed strategy to tackle violence against women and girls is set to be unveiled next week. According to the Movember Foundation, two-thirds of young men regularly engage with masculinity influencers online. A new campaign, Same Side, launched today by UN Women UK, is aiming to counter that with the help of some leading sports stars. One is the former Manchester City and QPR defender Nedum Onuoha. He joins Anita along with Tabitha Morton, Executive Director of UN Women UK.Have you already overindulged at a few parties? Could you imagine getting though the festive season without booze? Well Laura Antonia Jordan hasn't had a drink, or even a mildly tipsy Christmas, for 10 years now. A journalist, she's written about navigating the festive season completely sober after years of living by, as she calls it 'the doctrine of hedonism'. She tells Anita why the cultural pressure can be tough, but dry December does not have to be boring.Boudoir photography, stripping down into lingerie and posing for a photographer may sound like something from the world of supermodels and glossy magazines, but there are lots of women from all walks of life who are choosing to pay for professional intimate photos, as gifts for partners, or just to feel good about themselves. Joining Anita to discuss this increasingly popular world are boudoir photographer Laura Slater and Joley Gordon, who booked herself a session two years ago and has never looked back.

Send us a textHow did Cody Poskin, a guy who was told to “get lost” by the coach at his college, become one of the rising stars of ultrarunning and getting invited to run across the Gobi Desert in China? I dig into that with the help of another 23-year-old ultramarathon beast, TJ Harms-Synkiew. After Cody was spurned by the college coach, he decided to target the Boston Marathon, nailing a qualifying time in his first attempt. At age 21, he jumped up to ultras and won his first two races, including the Midstate Massive Ultra Trail 100-mile in a speedy 19:47. He was a very impressive 13th at his first Leadville Trail 100 in 2024 in 19:28, and then had another breakthrough at the Jackpot 100 miler, which he ran in 13:26, breaking the course record by 33 minutes. After placing 8th at the Cocodona 250 in 71:11, Cody joined 54 other runners to run the Ultra Gobi 400K, a life-altering experience. The Chinese hosted a world-class event as Cody describes, all while he had to navigate a course that had no markings, only checkpoints, and he had to run self-supported with a 15-pound pack in which he was required to carry 2000 calories at all times. He won in 64:49, shattering the course record by 4 hours, and earned the title Guanjun Marshall. What makes this episode fun for an old ultramarathon goat like me is listening to 23-year-olds who are relatively new to the sport and how they plunge into all sorts of challenges with the attitude of “I'll figure it out along the way.”Cody Poskincodyposkin.comInstagram, YouTube, and Threads @cody_poskinBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Meanwhile poor Pete is ill, but still soldiers on we pit Pete and Sam against each other as traitor versus faithful.

Hi, it's Natalie here. After a bit of a summer pause (thanks to some tech drama), I'm thrilled to be back with a truly special episode. This one was recorded live at the Green Man Festival, on the Pandemonium Stage in Einstein's Garden, and it's a conversation I've been dreaming about for a long time. If you've been to a festival over the summer and think this type of conversation would fit, do let me know. Feel free to leave a comment wherever you listen or scroll to the bottom to find out more. We tackled one of the most common yet complicated questions many of us face:“So, do you have kids?” It seems innocent, but for so many, it opens the door to grief, awkwardness, and a whole lot of emotional weight. In this episode, we explore why that question can hurt and what we might ask instead.I was joined by four incredible guests who generously shared their personal stories and wisdom on stage:Mel Johnson, solo parent coach and founder of The Stork and IShema Tariq, academic, writer, baby loss advocate and Tommy's trusteeBetty Mukherjee, MRKH campaigner and Race Across the World finalistAnd my husband, Rich Silverman, who opened up publicly for the first time about our journey with male factor infertility and the mental health impact on himWhat we talked aboutWhy the question “Do you have kids?” can be so deeply painful when you're navigating infertility, baby loss, or childlessness not by choiceMel's journey to solo motherhood and the way people still make assumptions about women who choose that pathShema's IVF experience using donor eggs, the heart breaking loss of her baby at 21 weeks, and how her cultural background shaped her experienceBetty's diagnosis of MRKH at 16 and how she opened up about it during her time on national TVRich's journey with male factor infertility and how counselling helped him move forward, plus why more men need space to share tooThe words we use around fertility and family, and how language can uplift or hurtTalking to children about solo parenting and donor conception, and why openness mattersThe trauma of fertility treatment, especially for people of colour, and the inequalities that still existHow to truly show up for loved ones going through these journeys, and why "I'm here if you ever want to talk" is sometimes not enoughBetter ways to connectIf you're ever unsure of what to say instead of “Do you have kids?”, here are a few suggestions we shared:“What's been bringing you joy lately?”“What's been going on in your world?”“What are you passionate about these days?”And most importantly: ask twice. Sometimes people need that second invitation to feel safe opening up.Have a listen to my chat with Shema previously - way back in 2022What do I need to think about when going abroad for donor treatment? • The Fertility Podcast Let's keep the conversation goingConnect with me on Instagram: @fertilitypoddyShema's Insta: @drshematariqMel's Insta: @the_stork_and_iBetty's Insta: @bettymuk_Rich's Insta:
Silent attrition may be the biggest threat most banks aren't talking about — and the stakes are rising fast. The 2025 Generational Trends in Digital Banking study reveals that only 56% of digital banking consumers expect to maintain their current relationship over the next year, while the rest are quietly drifting toward stagnation or disengagement. This continuous erosion of loyalty comes just as the U.S. faces one of the largest intergenerational wealth transfers in history. Thirty-seven percent of Americans expect an inheritance in the next two decades, but if banks can't hold on to younger, digital-first customers now, those assets — and the loyalty — will walk out the door. Joining me today on the Banking Transformed podcast are two powerhouse experts – Jason Dorsey, President of The Center for Generational Kinetics, and Allison Cerra, Chief Marketing Officer at Alkami Technologies. They will unpack the findings from the 2025 Generational Trends in Digital Banking Study and share what banks must do now to stop the quiet exodus before it's too late. Remember, silent attrition doesn't announce itself — it's a quiet leak of loyalty, share of wallet, and future opportunity that can be devastating if ignored. This Episode of Banking Transformed is Sponsored by Alkami Alkami Technology, Inc. is a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions in the United States that enables clients to grow confidently, adapt quickly, and build thriving digital communities.
