Podcasts about Race Against Time

A top ploughman is all at sea, with his tractor and the gear he needs for the world champs, a little off course. Southlander Mark Dillon, a top competitor in his field, is off to the world ploughing championship in Croatia in September. His gear is being shipped and was supposed to arrive ahead of the competition - but there's been delays and now it's a race to get it there in time. Mark Dillon spoke to Lisa Owen.

A valuable NASA satellite observatory is falling to Earth faster than scientists expected. It's called the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, or “Swift” for short, and it can respond to celestial events much faster than its sky-gazing counterparts. To save Swift and test out a first-of-its-kind technology, NASA partnered with an Arizona-based startup to launch a refrigerator-sized robot, aptly named Link, into lower Earth orbit. That's on its way right now to meet up with Swift to give it a boost.Interested in more science in the news?

John & Joe review "Race Against Time" & "Last Ones Left." Then watch Sicko The Clown vs Nino Extremo from the 1st Round of Tournament Of Survival 11!

James O'Loghlin had only just reconnected with one of his best and oldest friends, Jum Wallner, when Jum received some terrible news. What began next was a high stakes race with a fatal deadline.The two men had grown up in Canberra, where thousands of homes had been filled with asbestos, which was often carelessly installed and removed.Jum himself had grown up in one of these so-called "Mr Fluffy" homes, named after the local company that had installed the carcinogenic insulation.When Jum felt a pain in his side, it wasn't long before the father of two and husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma and given months to live.Jum had discovered that if you got sick from being exposed to asbestos in your workplace you were entitled to compensation, but if it came from your home, you got nothing.So Jum asked his old friend James for some help to petition the powers that be to help asbestos victims like himself and their families.James began a race against time, trying to convince both the ACT and Federal governments to help Jum and others, in the middle of a pandemic, before it was too late.Along the way, James and Jum reconnected deeply as friends who desperately wished they had more time together.The Missing Piece is published by Echo Publishing.More information about the Loose-Fill Asbestos Disease Support Scheme can be found at the ACT Government's website. This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores friendship, male friendship, university days, terminal disease, James Hardie, cancer, terminal diagnosis, how to grieve a friend, activism, petition governments, Covid, pandemic, Greg Hunt, Angus Taylor, compensation, accidental activist, dying friends, mourning, funerals, Andrew Barr, ALP, Labor party, Liberals, bipartisan, Albanese, politics, Auspol, burnout, diagnosis.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today's episode covers six stories spanning cosmic mysteries, lunar exploration, robotic rescue missions, cutting-edge space medicine, and what's happening in your own night sky tonight.   1. JWST Solves the "Little Red Dots" Mystery Four years after the James Webb Space Telescope began spotting strange, compact red objects in the ancient universe, scientists have a definitive answer. A team led by Vasily Kokorev at the University of Texas at Austin published the most detailed spectrum ever obtained of one of these objects — GLIMPSE-17775 — in The Astrophysical Journal on June 10. The data confirms these objects are supermassive black holes in their furious early growth phase, wrapped in dense cocoons of hot gas that disguise them. The universe is not broken — the little red dots were just very well hidden. 2. Astrobotic Unveils Griffin-1 Lunar Lander Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic publicly unveiled its Griffin-1 lunar lander on June 15 at the Moonshot Museum. NASA selected Griffin as the vehicle for its Moon Base II mission. The lander will carry Astrolab's FLIP rover and payloads from multiple nations — including Australia — to the lunar South Pole, targeting launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in late 2026. Griffin-1 heads to JPL for environmental testing this month. 3. Robotic Rescue Mission for NASA's Swift Observatory NASA's 22-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is losing altitude fast due to accelerated solar activity. A startup called Katalyst Space Technologies has built a robotic spacecraft — LINK — in under a year, and it's now integrated into a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket ready for launch from Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, later this month. If successful, LINK will boost Swift's orbit and extend its life — while pioneering on-orbit servicing capabilities. 4. SpaceX CRS-34 Dragon Departs the ISS NASA's 34th SpaceX commercial resupply mission departed the ISS today, June 16, carrying blood stem cells, bioprinted organ and cartilage tissue, DNA-inspired cancer treatment materials, and cryogenic fuel storage experiment data. Splashdown off California is expected June 17. 5. Tonight's Sky: Moon Meets Three Planets A stunning western sky show is on offer tonight — a crescent Moon appearing between Mercury and Jupiter about an hour after sunset, with brilliant Venus also on display. Mercury reached its greatest eastern elongation on June 15, making this the best time of its current apparition to spot it. Tomorrow evening the Moon drifts to sit beside Venus. 6. Space Weather: CME Glancing Blow A coronal mass ejection from June 12 is expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth on June 16-17. Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp up to 4) are forecast, with a chance of minor G1 storm conditions. High-latitude aurora watchers in the Southern Hemisphere may see some activity.   Links & Further Reading • GLIMPSE-17775 study — The Astrophysical Journal (June 10, 2026) • Astrobotic Griffin-1 mission info: astrobotic.com • NASA Swift Boost mission: science.nasa.gov/mission/swift/swift-boost-mission • ISS research blog: nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation • Space weather: spaceweather.gov | NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center   Find us at astronomydaily.io  |  Follow: @AstroDailyPodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Israel is in a race against time to “lock in its domination” across the Middle East, argues former Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy. Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, tells host Steve Clemons that Israel's strategy of “permanent war” allows for only two types of countries in the region: either dependent, or “too collapsed, failed and fragile to pose any challenge”. Israel can try to block a US-Iran deal by advocating for “just one more major military operation” against Iran, and “heating things up” with constant attacks on Lebanese and Palestinians despite ceasefires on paper, Levy says.

había que entender y respetar el bosque.En: Alejandro knew that to find the artifact, it wasn't enough to just follow a map; one had to understand and respect the forest.Es: Una tarde, mientras seguían un sendero bordeado de orquídeas y lianas, Alejandro se detuvo de repente.En: One afternoon, while they followed a path bordered by orchids and vines, Alejandro suddenly stopped.Es: —Lucía, escucha —dijo, señalando un claro adelante.En: "Lucía, listen," he said, pointing to a clearing ahead.Es: Los dos entraron al claro.En: The two entered the clearing.Es: Allí, envuelto en la maraña del bosque, estaba lo que Lucía había buscado sin descanso: una pequeña figura de piedra, cubierta por el musgo.En: There, wrapped in the tangle of the forest, was what Lucía had been searching for relentlessly: a small stone figure, covered by moss.Es: Sin embargo, antes de que pudiera celebrarlo, el cielo rugió con un trueno.En: However, before she could celebrate, the sky roared with thunder.Es: Se aproximaba una tormenta, y sería intensa.En: A storm was approaching, and it would be intense.Es: —Debemos protegernos —urgió Alejandro, tomando la figura y envolviéndola en un paño—.En: "We must protect ourselves," urged Alejandro, taking the figure and wrapping it in a cloth.Es: La seguridad primero, luego la reliquia.En: "Safety first, then the relic."Es: Refugiados bajo una roca saliente, Lucía y Alejandro trabajaron juntos para asegurar el artefacto.En: Sheltered under an overhanging rock, Lucía and Alejandro worked together to secure the artifact.Es: La lluvia cayó con furia, pero los dos, unidos por la necesidad mutua, lograron guarecerse.En: The rain fell with fury, but the two, united by mutual need, managed to take shelter.Es: En ese momento, Lucía se dio cuenta de que su búsqueda debía ir más allá de un simple hallazgo.En: At that moment, Lucía realized that her quest had to go beyond a mere discovery.Es: Se trataba de una conexión con un mundo que merecía ser protegido.En: It was about a connection with a world that deserved to be protected.Es: Cuando la tormenta finalmente pasó, la selva estaba renovada, reluciente bajo la luz de la luna.En: When the storm finally passed, the jungle was renewed, glistening under the moonlight.Es: Lucía miró a Alejandro, agradecida.En: Lucía looked at Alejandro, grateful.Es: —Gracias por mostrarme el verdadero significado de esta búsqueda —dijo Lucía, con una sonrisa sincera.En: "Thank you for showing me the true meaning of this quest," said Lucía, with a sincere smile.Es: —Y gracias a ti por entenderlo —respondió Alejandro—.En: "And thank you for understanding it," responded Alejandro.Es: Ahora podemos trabajar juntos para compartir este conocimiento con el mundo, respetando siempre la selva.En: "Now we can work together to share this knowledge with the world, always respecting the jungle."Es: Así, con el artefacto en sus manos y un nuevo entendimiento en sus corazones, regresaron al pueblo.En: Thus, with the artifact in their hands and a new understanding in their hearts, they returned to the village.Es: Lucía aprendió a valorar la importancia del equilibrio entre el descubrimiento y la preservación, mientras Alejandro abrió su mente a colaborar con aquellos que realmente respetaban su hogar.En: Lucía learned to value the importance of the balance between discovery and preservation, while Alejandro opened his mind to collaborate with those who truly respected his home.Es: Juntos, enfrentaron el futuro, con esperanzas renovadas y una responsabilidad compartida hacia el vasto, enigmático y siempre asombroso Amazonas.En: Together, they faced the future, with renewed hopes and a shared responsibility toward the vast, enigmatic, and always astonishing Amazonas.

reaction.Nl: Bram's hart sloeg sneller.En: Bram's heart raced.Nl: Hij moest snel handelen.En: He needed to act fast.Nl: Maar hoe?En: But how?Nl: De straten waren vol mensen, haast onmogelijk om

unaware of the calamity unfolding right beside him.Nl: Bram keek om zich heen, wanhopig zoekend naar hulp.En: Bram looked around, desperately searching for help.Nl: Hij herinnerde zich Elke, de lokale

svimmelhed, træthed, skarpe smerter.En: She had been experiencing worrying symptoms for a while - dizziness, fatigue, sharp pains.Da: Frygten for, hvad det kunne være, var som en skygge, der fulgte hende konstant.En: The fear of what it could be was like a shadow that constantly followed her.Da: Mens hun hjalp patienter, blev Frejas egen tilstand værre.En: While she helped patients, Freja's own condition worsened.Da: Hendes hænder rystede en smule, og hun måtte ofte støtte sig til væggen for ikke at miste balancen.En: Her hands trembled slightly, and she often had to lean against the wall to avoid losing her balance.Da: Men Freja var stædig.En: But Freja was stubborn.Da: Hun ignorerede det, indtil en stærk smerte i maven tvang hende til at standse op.En: She ignored it until a strong pain in her abdomen forced her to stop.Da: Lars, en erfaren læge og god ven, bemærkede hendes ubehag.En: Lars, an experienced doctor and good friend, noticed her discomfort.Da: "Freja, du ser dårlig ud," sagde han med bekymring.En: "Freja, you look unwell," he said with concern.Da: "Er alt okay?"En: "Is everything okay?"Da: Først overvejede Freja at afvise bekymringen.En: At first, Freja considered dismissing his concern.Da: Men lyset i Lars' øjne mindede hende om, at hun ikke var alene.En: But the light in Lars' eyes reminded her that she wasn't alone.Da: "Jeg ved det ikke," indrømmede hun til sidst.En: "I don't know," she finally admitted.Da: "Jeg har haft det dårligt den sidste måned."En: "I've been feeling bad for the last month."Da: Lars opfordrede hende til at få lavet nogle tests.En: Lars encouraged her to get some tests done.Da: Med hans støtte besluttede Freja at tage chancen, skønt en del af hende ønskede at vente til senere.En: With his support, Freja decided to take the chance, although part of her wanted to wait until later.Da: Testresultaterne kom hurtigt.En: The test results came back quickly.Da: Lars så alvorlig ud.En: Lars looked serious.Da: "Freja, vi skal handle nu.En: "Freja, we need to act now.Da: Dine test viser noget bekymrende.En: Your tests show something concerning.Da: Du har brug for en operation med det samme."En: You need an operation immediately."Da: Rystet, men fast besluttet, lagde Freja sin tillid i hænderne på sine kolleger.En: Shaken but determined, Freja placed her trust in the hands of her colleagues.Da: Operationen, der fulgte, blev en kamp mod uret.En: The surgery that followed became a race against time.Da: Lars var sammen med hende hele vejen, og hans tilstedeværelse var en kilde til trøst.En: Lars was with her all the way, and his presence was a source of comfort.Da: Natten gled langsomt ind i morgen.En: The night slowly turned into morning.Da: Julemorgen lysnede, og Freja vågnede i et stille rum, omgivet af blide lyde fra hospitalet.En: Christmas morning dawned, and Freja woke up in a quiet room, surrounded by the gentle sounds of the hospital.Da: Operationen var en succes.En: The operation was a success.Da: Hun åbnede forsigtigt øjnene, taknemmelig for at være i live og for sine venner.En: She carefully opened her eyes, grateful to be alive and for her friends.Da: Lars kiggede ind til hende, et let smil på læben.En: Lars looked in at her, a slight smile on his face.Da: "God jul, Freja."En: "Merry Christmas, Freja."Da: Hun nikkede, tårer af lettelse i øjnene.En: She nodded, tears of relief in her eyes.Da: "God jul, Lars.En: "Merry Christmas, Lars.Da: Tak."En: Thank you."Da: Denne jul lærte Freja at lytte til sin krop og de mennesker, der ønskede at hjælpe hende.En: That Christmas, Freja learned to listen to her body and the people who wanted to help her.Da: Hun indså, at hun ikke behøvede at bære alting alene.En: She realized she didn't have to carry everything alone.Da: Hun kunne stole på andre og give slip, bare en smule.En: She could trust others and let go, just a little.Da: Med den erkendelse lukkede hun øjnene igen, nu vel vidende at hun kunne møde fremtiden mere frygtløst.En: With that realization, she closed her eyes again, now knowing she could face the future more fearlessly.Da: Snefnug faldt fortsat udenfor, og verden blev et lille øjeblik et fredfyldt sted midt i det travle hospital.En: Snowflakes continued to fall outside, and for a brief moment, the world became a peaceful place amid the busy hospital.Da: Rigshospitalet pulserede videre, men for Freja betød denne julemorgen begyndelsen på en ny start.En: Rigshospitalet pulsed on, but for Freja, this Christmas morning marked the beginning of a new start.

This episode of the Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosted by medical professionals Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen dives into the harrowing account of the fishing vessel La Conte, which sank in the Gulf of Alaska on January 30th, 1998. The vessel, carrying five experienced fishermen, met its fate in one of the worst storms in Alaska's history. The lack of a life raft, combined with extreme weather conditions and the vessel's age, led to a catastrophic series of events. The crew's ordeal of surviving in 38-degree water in survival suits under hurricane-force winds is recounted in gripping detail.

gently falling from the trees in the quiet suburban neighborhood.Da: Solen kastede et blødt lys hen over hendes spisestue, hvor lysene var tændt, og bordet var pænt dækket.En: The sun cast a soft light across her dining room, where the lights were on, and the table was neatly set.Da: Hun smilte til sig selv.En: She smiled to herself.Da: Middagen var klar, og hun glædede sig til en hyggelig aften med sin lille familie og sin bror Mikkel, der var på besøg fra København.En: The dinner was ready, and she looked forward to a cozy evening with her small family and her brother Mikkel, who was

They began to eat, and the atmosphere was relaxed, filled with laughter and stories of Mikkel's latest adventures in the big city.Da: Men pludselig ændrede alt sig.En: But suddenly everything changed.Da: Signe begyndte at hoste voldsomt.En: Signe began to cough violently.Da: "Mor, jeg har det ikke godt," kvækkede hun og greb om sin hals.En: "Mom, I don't feel well," she croaked, grabbing her throat.Da: Frejas hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Freja's heart skipped a beat.Da: Allergiske reaktioner var ikke nyt for Signe, men det var sjældent de kom så pludseligt og voldsomt.En: Allergic

now!"Da: Han sprang op fra sin stol og greb sin telefon, men han tøvede, da han indså, at han ikke kendte stedets adresse.En: He jumped up from his chair and grabbed his phone, but hesitated when he

"Det er på skærmen i entréen," instruerede hun, mens hun hurtigt tog fat i førstehjælpskassen.En: "It's on the screen in the entryway," she instructed, while quickly grabbing the first aid kit.Da: Signe sad nu med anstrengt vejrtrækning, og Freja begyndte at give hende førstehjælp.En: Signe was now breathing laboriously, and Freja began to administer first aid.Da: Mikkel fik endelig fat i ambulancetjenesten og forklarede situationen.En: Mikkel finally reached the emergency services and explained the situation.Da: Udenfor hørtes hurtigt sirenerne nærme sig.En: Outside, the sirens quickly approached.Da: Just som Signe's tilstand blev værre, dukkede det medicinske personale op ved døren.En: Just as Signe's condition worsened, the medical personnel appeared at the door.Da: Tiden føltes som en evighed, men de professionelle trådte hurtigt til og gav Signe den nødvendige behandling.En: Time felt like an eternity, but the professionals quickly stepped in and provided Signe with the necessary treatment.Da: Freja kunne endelig trække vejret dybt igen.En: Freja could finally breathe deeply again.Da: Mens Signe blev stabiliseret, samledes alle omkring hende.En: As Signe was stabilized, everyone gathered around her.Da: Deres hjerter bankede stadig hurtigt, men der var en fælles følelse af lettelse.En: Their hearts were still racing, but there was a shared feeling of relief.Da: "Du klarede det godt, søs," sagde Mikkel stille og klappede Freja på skulderen.En: "You did well, sis," said Mikkel quietly, patting Freja on the shoulder.Da: Da de alle sad sammen efter lidt tid, mærkede Freja en ny styrke indeni sig selv.En: As they all sat together after a while, Freja felt a new strength within herself.Da: Forsamlingen, der engang bare skulle være en hyggelig middag, viste sig at være en stærk påmindelse om familie og det bånd, der binder dem.En: The gathering, which was once just meant to be a cozy dinner, turned out to be a strong reminder of family and the bond that ties them.Da: Mikkel talte tint om at blive i et par dage for at hjælpe til, og Freja vidste nu, at uanset udfordringerne, kunne de klare dem sammen.En: Mikkel spoke tentatively about staying for a few days to help out, and Freja now knew that no matter the challenges, they could face them together.Da: Aftenen blev indhyllet i efterårsbladene igen, men den kærlighed og beslutsomhed, der var vokset, lyste klart i deres lille hjem.En: The evening was enveloped in autumn leaves again, but the love and determination that had grown shone brightly in their little home.

In this episode, Sean and James explore President Nixon’s escalating struggle to achieve “peace with honor” through further Vietnamization, secret diplomacy, and expanded military operations. Key topics include the exposure of the My Lai Massacre, the improving yet strained condition of South Vietnam’s military, Henry Kissinger’s failed secret talks, and the controversial U.S. and ARVN invasion of Cambodia—an operation that dealt temporary blows to Communist forces but triggered massive protests at home, including the deadly Kent State shootings. The invasion marked a turning point, widening the war and intensifying domestic division, while yielding limited long-term strategic gains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this gripping episode, we dive deep into Race Against Time—the astonishing true story of how award-winning investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell helped reopen some of the most notorious unsolved murder cases from the civil rights era. From the infamous Mississippi Burning murders to the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer's home and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Mitchell's relentless pursuit of truth helped expose hidden crimes, unmask KKK killers, and bring long-delayed justice to the victims of racial violence.Through dogged reporting, secret FBI documents, and chilling confrontations with former Klansmen, Mitchell cracked cold cases that had gone untouched for decades. His work led to the convictions of men who believed they'd gotten away with racist murders committed in the shadows of Jim Crow America.This is not just a story of murder and conspiracy—it's a story of courage, accountability, and the power of journalism to right historical wrongs. If you're drawn to true crime, racial justice, civil rights history, and investigative reporting, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
