Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The Tour Down Under is done and dusted for another year, and it was an absolute banger. I was lucky enough to get in amongst it right there at the roadside all week and, to make it better, I was joined by my old mate - the Doughboy himself - Ian Boswell.  For this episode, I wanted to take you guys inside the Tour Down Under; not just the racing, but the atmosphere around the race and the vibe that gets cooked up in Adelaide every year. The racers lining up for the first time, getting use to their new teams and equipment, the fans at the side of the road, and all the sweet little events that go off each morning out of Adelaide.  Ian and I kicked off our week with a big bang, getting stuck into the cut and thrust of the short, sharp prologue from inside the team car! I hopped in the NSN passenger seat to follow Ethan Vernon - who actually went and finished 2nd on the stage, missing the win by less than a second…maybe his DS was a bit distracted? In the paddocks, we got a chance to catch up with some of the riders who've come Down Under to start their 2026 racing season. Guys like the new Natty champ Pat Eddy, British up and comer Matty Brennan, the 16 wheeler himself Harry Sweeny, and heaps more. We spoke about the race, as well as some general questions about their seasons and - of course - a cheeky little mini CommuniQuiz to keep them on their toes! Of course, this race is defined by the fans. People have travelled from far and wide to be here - one girl I spoke to even made the journey all the way from Texas in the USA! It was great chatting with people up and down the roadside about their TDU experience - and meet loads of LITP listeners in person.  This is a chokka block episode with loads of great little soundbites you only get from being right there at the races live and in person. I hope Boz and I managed to capture the vibe so you can sit back, crack a frothy, and pretend you're right there under the baking Adelaide sun with us. Cheers!

Paediatric seizures are common, time-critical events and they're something most of us will deal with, whether that's pre-hospital, in the emergency department, or on the ward. They make up around 1–2% of ED attendances, and about 1 in 20 children will have a seizure at some point. Most seizures self-terminate, but the longer they go on the harder they are to stop, and the higher the risk of harm. In paediatric seizures, time really matters. In this episode we take a step-by-step look at how to assess and manage a child who's seizing. We start with the fundamentals; how seizures are defined and classified, what status epilepticus actually means in practice, and why recognising it early makes such a difference. We then dig into the physiology behind seizures, exploring why early benzodiazepines work well and why delayed treatment often doesn't. Understanding what's happening at a receptor level helps make sense of when to escalate treatment and why different drugs work at different stages of a prolonged seizure. Pharmacology is a big part of this episode. We talk through first- and second-line anti-seizure medications, routes of administration, and how effective they really are. We cover the EcLiPSE and ConSEPT trials comparing levetiracetam and phenytoin, and look at newer evidence from the Ket-Mid study and what that might mean for managing refractory status and thinking about RSI. We also work through the approach to cases, pre-hospital management and in-hospital care aligned with UK and European recommendations. There's a clear focus on febrile seizures too, separating simple from complex presentations and helping you decide who needs investigating, admitting, or reassuring and discharging. As ever, the aim is to turn guidelines and evidence into something usable on the shop floor. Paediatric seizures are stressful, but with a structured approach, early treatment, and good airway management, they're absolutely manageable and we can make a real difference on outcomes. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James

Tonight's guest is Rob, joining us from Arizona. Back in 1969, on a logging road outside Marysville in Washington State, a late-night party turned into chaos as people fled shouting, running for their cars. Rob and his friends stayed long enough to see three towering figures step out from the tree line, the largest close to eight feet tall. His experiences didn't end in the wilderness. During a 2017 eclipse trip that took him past Area 51, Rob and his friends saw bright camera-flash bursts flicker in different spots across the night sky. And while he was stationed in Japan during his Navy years, he had more than one unsettling encounter with a mysterious woman in traditional dress, appearing suddenly and vanishing just as fast.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-364-summer-of-69/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

The crackdown on drug drivers is due to start today. Starting in Wellington first, saliva testing will be used to test the drivers for 4 drugs; cannabis, meth, MDMA and cocaine. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the drug tests being used are new to police, and a trial period is necessary before a national rollout. "We will scale it up, but the police have to make sure. It's a new form of testing, so it's important to trial it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are calls for more clarity on a new policy regarding roadside memorials for victims of road accidents. Michael Murphy, Fine Gael TD for Tipperary South and Chairperson of the Dail Transport Committee and Susan Gray, Founder of PARC road safety group discuss.

Memorials to crash victims on the side of many roads will be banned under new powers from The Government. Roadside tributes will not be allowed on Motorways, dual carriageways, regional or local roads where the speed limit is 60kph or above. So reports the Irish Daily Mail this morning. We discuss further with Michael Murphy, Chair of the Oireachtas Transport Committee & Fine Gael TD for South Tipperary.

Under recommendations from the Department of Transport, roadside memorials to crash victims will be banned.Pre-existing memorials will not be automatically removed, but tributes will no longer be allowed on motorways, dual carriageways, regional or local roads with a speed limit of over 60 kilometers an hour.The move has sparked criticism from families who have lost loved ones on Irish roads, and road crash victims' groups.Joining Andrea to discuss this is Sean Canney. Minister of State for Transport & Independent TD for Galway East, Susan Grey of PARK Road Safety Advocacy Group and listeners.

Welcome to this special edition of Roadside to Resus where we're diving into some of the progressive and practice-defining developments in pre-hospital emergency care. This episode brings together a superb group of clinicians, educators and leaders who are shaping the future of PHEM across the UK, and we caught up with them at the recent Faculty of Pre-hospital Care Conference entitled 'The Wider World of Pre-hospital Care'! We start with Pam Hardy, the Chair of the FPHC, who offers an introduction to the College and its ongoing work to elevate standards across pre-hospital care.  Next, Camella Main guides us through the brand-new Pre-hospital Maternity Decision Tool designed to support clinicians facing complex decision making in this complex group of patients. Camella breaks down how the tool came to fruition and how teams can use it to enhance safety and decision-making on scene. We then hear from Ben Sheppey, who explores the growing move to formalise and professionalise voluntary pre-hospital care. Ben reflects on the challenges, opportunities and cultural shifts required to align voluntary responders with national standards. Harriet Tucker then walks us through the new FPHC consensus statement on managing penetrating neck injuries. She distils the key principles, the recommendations, and how the guidance aims to bring clarity to one of the most complex and time-critical presentations we face. From there, Cosmo Scurr unpacks the latest AAGBI PHEA Guideline, highlighting the key movements in delivering anaesthesia in the pre-hospital environment. We also hear from Felix Wood, who provides a sharp, practical look at crush injury and crush syndrome. Finally, Zane Perkins explores the rapidly advancing world of AI in PHEM. From practical application to decision making support. Zane describes how emerging technologies have the potential to change prehospital care in ways we may have never considered before! A huge thanks to the expert speakers for their time recording highlights from the superb conference. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James

Most investors start with a single-family home or a duplex. Jonathan Mueller started with an eight-unit roadside motel he bought for $250K. In this episode, he breaks down how that unexpected detour became the first domino in a journey that led to a 23-unit motel, a 108-site RV park on 70 acres, and a totally different vision for his family's future. Jonathan opens up about overpaying for deals, moving his family across multiple states, living in an RV without running water, and going all-in on projects most people would be too afraid to touch. He shares how medium-term stays outperformed long-term rentals, why RV parks offer endless income streams, and how sweat equity, seller financing, and creative problem-solving helped him scale despite setbacks. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with lessons most people only learn the hard way. If you've ever felt stuck at the starting line, scared to make the wrong move, or unsure if you're “ready,” Jonathan's story is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something big. You just need to start and let the journey evolve. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

A lifted truck tracking into oncoming lanes. A repo driver on hot asphalt, thinking fast. That's where this story starts—and where real innovation in towing tools begins. We sit with JB Tow Accessories co-founder and VP of Sales, Jason Giddens, to trace the gritty path from first-week mistakes to thousands of field-proven tools making recoveries safer and faster.Jason breaks down the real-world problem that led to the Fat Boy wheel adapters—wide tires, hard steering angles, and no safe way to strap. He shares how he and his team turned that sketch into a Tampa-built solution that's now a go-to for operators facing big rubber and tight streets. Then we go deep on the Big Stiffy lockout tool: stainless steel to protect seals and paint, a stiffer rod and larger handle for leverage, and a lifetime warranty backed by relentless show-floor stress tests. If you care about durability, clean entries, and fewer comebacks, you'll appreciate the why behind every design choice.Beyond tools, this conversation is about service, safety, and unity. Jason answers every message himself and drives long routes just to shake hands, demo gear, and earn trust—because the towing business still runs on relationships. We explore practical safety moves operators can use today, like working passenger-side controls when traffic is hot, setting proper scene lighting, and investing in training that cuts liability and injuries. We also spotlight the power of community: small-town rotation group texts, blocking for each other on busy roads, and a shared commitment to the move over message that sends more people home at night.If you're a tow operator, dispatcher, or owner looking for reliable gear and a brand that shows up, this is your playbook. Hear how authentic content, better tools, and a customer-first mindset can elevate your operation and strengthen the towing community at large.Subscribe, share with your crew, and leave a review to help more towers find conversations that put safety, service, and smart gear first.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to Fox News and the trade publication NACS, the most significant Dolly Parton development in the past few days is business, not music or movies. The 79 year old icon has formally rolled out Dollys Tennessean Travel Stops, a reimagined chain of highway travel centers created in partnership with the longstanding Tennessean Travel Stop brand, with the flagship location in Cornersville Tennessee on Interstate 65. Both outlets report that additional Tennessee and out of state locations will be announced in 2026, signaling a long term expansion that could become as biographically important as Dollywood in defining Dolly as a business mogul as much as a singer.Parade magazine and AOL both frame this as Dolly turning her lifetime on tour buses and in truck stops into a new kind of branded roadside experience, complete with the promise of Southern hospitality and economic uplift for small communities. Her manager Danny Nozell is quoted describing the project as an extension of her love for her home state and its local businesses, underscoring that this is not a one off licensing deal but a strategic, legacy scale venture.Coverage from Entertainment Now and AOL also keeps looping back to her health. In September she publicly postponed her much hyped Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace, moving it from December 2025 to September 2026, citing unspecified health challenges and the need for medical procedures. She also skipped her in person induction into the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame, accepting instead via video. None of the outlets provide detail beyond her own statements, so any chatter about specific diagnoses remains pure speculation and should be treated as such. What is confirmed is that she has slowed public appearances but continues to work behind the scenes.On social media, Dolly herself tried to calm fans with a warm Thanksgiving message on Instagram, saying she was feeling better and sending blessings to families, a clip widely quoted by Parade and AOL. Separately, Wikipedia and trade press continue to highlight her October announcement of the SongTeller Hotel and Dollys Life of Many Colors Museum in downtown Nashville, with museum tickets already on sale for a June 2026 opening, reinforcing the picture of a star carefully shifting from touring to permanent, place based projects that will outlive the tours and the tabloids alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Whether you're just stepping into your first cardiac arrest or you've been running them since the days of paddles, this one's for you. The 2025 resuscitation guidelines have landed after further collaboration between ILCOR, the ERC and the Resuscitation Council UK and in this episode we break down exactly what's new, what's stayed the same, and how it all fits into day-to-day practice. Across the board the 2025 updates represent evolution, a steady refinement of evidence rather than wholesale change. Adult ALS remains rooted in early recognition, high-quality compressions and rapid defibrillation, but you'll notice sharper guidance around ventilation, pad positioning, and the sequence of vascular access and drugs. There's a new section on physiology-guided CPR and the emerging science behind arterial-line-driven resuscitation as we covered in the SPEAR epsiode. We also take a look at the special circumstances algorithms from hypothermia to traumatic and obstetric arrest and discuss how an emphasis on reversible causes, data-driven debriefing and system performance might reshape post-event learning.  Paediatric and newborn life support see subtle but important refinements too, including pad placement, shock energy escalation, simplification of adrenaline timings and a new Out-of-Hospital Newborn Life Support algorithm aimed squarely at the pre-hospital world. All this and more in the episode! Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James
