#166 - What happens when your adventurous spirit collides with a life-changing diagnosis? Meet Brooke King, a fearless 29-year-old who refuses to let thyroid cancer dim her extraordinary approach to life.Brooke's story begins in Chicago, where she lived a successful but predictable life as a young homeowner. When COVID hit, something shifted - that innate desire for adventure could no longer be contained. She sold her house and embraced alternative living - from boats to school buses - launching herself into experiences most would never dare attempt. Hitchhiking on the "Desert Snake" (the world's deadliest train) through the Sahara Desert? Check. Tracking down a floating grocery store yacht in Turkey? Absolutely. Dog attack training? Why not?Then came the unexpected plot twist - a thyroid cancer diagnosis that might have derailed someone with less resilience. But for Brooke, this became another adventure to navigate with the same determination that helped her travel solo through remote parts of Africa. "I didn't want to just heal from cancer and get through it," she explains. "I wanted to rise above it."Now, Brooke is channeling her energy into training for a 72-hour rowing expedition across the Mediterranean from Barcelona to Ibiza. What was already on her bucket list has transformed into "Row to Remission" - a powerful statement of hope and a fundraiser for cancer research. She'll row alongside three other women, including a former Olympian, taking two-hour shifts around the clock with minimal sleep.Brooke's philosophy about adventure is refreshingly accessible: "Adventure is intentionally trying something new." It doesn't require traveling to exotic locations or extreme sports - it simply means choosing growth and new experiences for their own sake. Through her story, she reminds us that our greatest adventures often arrive disguised as our greatest challenges.Follow Brooke's journey on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok @brookesjoyrides or visit brookesjoyrides.com to support her cancer fundraising efforts. As she says with infectious enthusiasm: "There's no time to waste."Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

In this episode, we chat to Honourable Shane Jones, member of the NZ government and the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Resources, Associate Minister of Finance, and Associate Minister for Energy. Shane entered Parliament in 2005 and joined New Zealand First as an MP in 2017. As a proud born and bred Northlander, Shane has always asked the tough questions, identified policy solutions, and accelerated implementation in his political life …and has been a very vocal supporter of the mining industry, including the possibility of seabed mining. He very much sees New Zealand's own natural resources as a pathway to economic prosperity, creating regional wealth and jobs. On the podcast, we discuss what the mining industry means to NZ, the policies the government have, and are looking to implement to make the industry more attractive and why companies should invest into NZ's mining industry and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The New Zealand government, under the leadership of Shane Jones, is committed to revitalising the mining industry, reversing previous bans on oil and gas New Zealand has developed a Critical Minerals List and a mineral strategy aimed at restoring pride in the natural resources sector The introduction of Fast Track legislation aims to streamline the environmental permitting process for mining projects, allowing for quicker allocation of permits A $200 million co-investment fund has been established to encourage both local and international investment in the mining sector, addressing concerns about potential future government changes BEST MOMENTS "I believe a lot of the climate change hysteria is actually going to wreck Western economies unless we restore some balance to it." "We've got a kind of figurative Sahara desert of iron sands resource, largely in the ocean." "Any economy that races ahead, demonises, cancels its fossil fuels industry without an affordable strategy... is dicing with economic calamity." "No one enjoys a perfect history. So what we've got to do is ensure that mining as it goes forward is strongly defended."

Happy Pride, you beautiful disasters! This week, Chey & Jill are spiraling into a glitter-filled fever dream of sexuality, smut, and a mysterious appearance... Chey's juggling her identity like it's a queer circus act — bi? pan? bi? A walking rainbow with emotion trauma? Who knows? Certainly not Chey. Meanwhile, Jill's over here being aggressively straight and still managing to make herself weirdly relevant in a Pride episode. Like… how? We don't know. She doesn't either. It wasn't authorized but it happened. Meanwhile her FeetFinder account is drier than a glute-free cracker in the Sahara...Things only get more unhinged from there as Chey opens up about her "mosquito bites" era (trigger warning: underdeveloped trauma) and the vibes in the studio shift. Drastically. You'll hear it. You'll feel it. Something... or someone... appears. And just when you think it can't get more unhinged — boom — queerbating! they read an AI-generated erotic fanfic titled: “Smut and Sass: The Steamy Turn.” Featuring sapphic tension, zero consent from the characters involved, and plot holes large enough to march in. It's a fever dream of an episode you didn't know you needed — full of shade, smut, and one big, mysterious reveal. Listen if you dare. It's gay. It's chaotic. It's somehow educational? Probably not. But it's Pride, baby. Grab your flags and press play.

Als der italienische Extremsportler Mauro Prosperi beim Marathon des Sables in einem Sandsturm verloren geht, beginnt ein Kampf ums nackte Überleben. Ohne Wasser, Nahrung und Orientierung irrt er tagelang durch die Sahara. Er stellt sich den extremen Bedingungen, geht an seine Grenzen und wird schließlich auf wundersame Weise gerettet. Eine Geschichte über Mut, Verzweiflung und die unbezwingbare Kraft des menschlichen Willens.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !La Préhistoire, c'est long ! Et si je vous dis cette vérité générale, c'est parce que quand on pense à l'art préhistorique, souvent on le résume aux peintures rupestres, comme celles des grottes de Lascaux ou Chauvet par exemple. Alors que forcément, l'art, sur une période aussi large… c'est beaucoup plus vaste que ça ! Rien qu'en changeant de période et en passant du Paléolithique au Néolithique, eh beh on en n'entend quasiment jamais parler, c'est dire, et je trouve ça dommage ! Alors pour que ça soit un peu plus le cas, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir dans un nouvel entretien historique Jules Masson Mourey qui en est spécialiste, et en particulier des représentations humaines du Néolithique !Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute sur Nota Bene !➤ Merci à notre partenaire Elgato de nous avoir accompagné sur cet entretien !

Egipto, el país más poblado del mundo árabe, se enfrenta a una crisis: una creciente escasez de alimentos y agua. ¿Cómo alimentar a una población de 113 millones de personas cuando incluso el agua escasea? El Nilo, el sustento de Egipto, está bajo presión. El Gobierno está perforando profundamente en el Sahara para explotar los acuíferos subterráneos e instando a las familias a tener menos hijos. Pero ¿son suficientes estas medidas?
We're back. And we've missed you.After a long hiatus, the See One / Do One podcast returns with a bang—and who better to kick things off than one of the biggest names in knee surgery: Al Getgood.Recorded in 2022 but released for the first time now ( a long story), this conversation captures Al just before he made another major leap—he was at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in Ontario when we recorded this episode, he is now Chief of Surgery at Aspetar in Doha, Qatar. We've updated the intro to reflect this move, but the content remains as compelling and relevant as ever.From the frosty winters of Canada to the blistering heat of the Marathon des Sables, Al's journey is nothing short of legendary. In this wide-ranging chat, Kash and Pete dive into:The STABILITY trial that revolutionized ACL reconstructionPersonalised approaches to ACL graft choice and lateral augmentationThe ongoing challenges in cartilage restorationThe promise (and pitfalls) of orthobiologicsThe mental resilience it takes to run 250km across the Sahara—and thrive in elite-level orthopaedicsAl Getgood is sharp, insightful, and annoyingly likeable. Whether you're a fellow knee surgeon, a trainee, or just fascinated by the elite world of sports surgery, this episode is packed with wisdom, humility, and unexpected laughs.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This episode is proudly supported by our inaugural sponsors, Lavender Medical — a UK-based, family-owned distributor of orthopaedic implants with over 15 years of experience.

First people communities are the early groups of hunter gatherers, herders, and the oldest human lineages of Africa, some migrating from as far as East Africa to settle across southern Africa, in countries like Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. In First People: The Lost History of the Khoisan, archaeologist Andrew Smith, who has excavated at some of the richest prehistoric heritage sites across Africa and has a career spanning 50 years, examines what we know about southern Africa's early people, drawing on evidence from archaeological sites, rock art, the observations of colonial-era travellers, linguistics, study of the human genome, and the latest academic research. Full of illustrations, First People is an invaluable and accessible work that reaches from the Stone Age and travels through time to the most recent history of the Khoisan. Smith, who has studied the history and prehistory of the Khoisan throughout his long and distinguished career, paints a knowledgeable and fascinating portrait of their land occupation, migration, survival, culture, and practices.

Et de trois ! Après les États-Unis en 2020 et la France en 2024, voici un troisième pays, membre permanent du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, qui apporte son soutien au plan d'autonomie du Maroc pour le Sahara occidental. Il s'agit du Royaume-Uni. L'annonce a été faite ce dimanche, à Rabat, par le ministre britannique des Affaires étrangères. Comment le Maroc compte-t-il capitaliser sur cette décision ? Et comment voit-il le futur de ses relations avec l'Algérie ? Le professeur Mohammed Benhammou préside le Centre marocain des études stratégiques. En ligne de Rabat, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.

What comes to mind when we think about the Sahara? Rippling sand dunes, sun-blasted expanses, camel drivers and their caravans perhaps. Or famine, climate change, civil war, desperate migrants stuck in a hostile environment. The Sahara stretches across 3.2 million square miles, hosting several million inhabitants and a corresponding variety of languages, cultures, and livelihoods. But beyond ready-made images of exoticism and squalor, we know surprisingly little about its history and the people who call it home. That’s not for a lack of trying. The Romans tried to cross the Sahara, going back as least as far as Cornelius Balbus (19 BC): Starting from Sabratha in Libya, Balbus led a force of 10,000 legionaries to conquer the Garamantes in the Fezzan region (modern Libya). He then sent a smaller group south across the Ahaggar Mountains, likely reaching the Niger River near modern Timbuktu in Mali, traveling over 1,000 miles inland. Ibn Battuta, the medieval explorer, experienced the wealth of West Africa’s vast gold mines long before the Portuguese made their way down the African coast. Today’s guest is Judith Scheele, author of “Shifting Sands: A Human History of the Sahara.” We see how the desert is not the empty wasteland of the romantic imagination but the vast and highly differentiated space in which Saharan peoples and, increasingly, new arrivals from other parts of Africa live, work, and move. It takes us from the ancient Roman Empire through the colonial era, whose future holds implications for us all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Er wolle die englischen Moore ausdehnen bis zu den Dünen der Sahara - und auf dem Weg komme er vorbei an all den mediterranen Kulturen: So beschreibt der Singer Songwriter Piers Faccini die musikalische Vielfalt seiner Songs. Der 55jährige vereint auch in seiner Biografie eine ganze Menge europäischer Kultur, er ist mit einem italienischen und einem britischen Elternteil in Frankreich aufgewachsen. All diese Welten miteinander zu verbinden, das hat sich der Musiker, Maler und Buchautor auf die Flagge geschrieben. Schon lange unterrichtet Piers Faccini an der HEMU in Lausanne Songwriting. Inhaltlich reflektiert Faccini über Leben, Lieben und die gesellschaftlichen Missstände in Europa. Wie er das alles schafft, ohne dabei seine Musik zu überladen - darüber diskutiert Annina Salis in der Jazz Collection mit Lea Lu. Die Zürcher Singer Songwriterin ist eine Kennerin von Piers Faccinis Werk, hat ihn mehrmals live gehört und auch persönlich kennengelernt.

Pourquoi l'œuvre du prédicateur Chérif Ousmane Madani Haïdara éclaire-t-elle les débats qui traversent l'islam aujourd'hui ? - réalisation : François Caunac - invités : Youssouf T.

The Romans were familiar with Africa. At one point, they controlled everything on the north coast of Africa from Morocco to Egypt. However, below their African territories was the vast Sahara Desert, which was extremely difficult to cross. For all practical purposes, it served as a permeable barrier between the people above and below the desert. As such, historians have wondered just how much the people above and below the Sahara knew about each other.

For centuries, the Indian Ocean has been a vast crossroads of cultures, goods, and ideas - but what role did Islam play in weaving this intricate web of connections? Arab, Berber, Persian and Indian merchants spread Islam from the seventh century onwards across the vast geographic areas of the Sahara and the Indian Ocean. Muslims in turn fostered diasporas, built architectural marvels, and circulated ideas, from the spice routes of Gujarat to the Swahili coast of Zanzibar. This episode unravels the “longue durée” of Islam's influence, tracing how faith, trade, and culture transformed global interactions and local identities across continents. Join Walid Ghali and Farouk Topan from the Aga Khan University's Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations, and Daren Ray, from Brigham Young University as we challenge conventional narratives and spotlight the centrality of Muslim cultures in understanding the Indian Ocean's interconnected past - and its enduring legacy today.
Today we explore the famed city of Timbuktu.

La Pax Romana, ou « paix romaine », désigne une longue période de stabilité relative, de prospérité économique et de paix intérieure que connut l'Empire romain entre 27 av. J.-C. et environ 180 apr. J.-C. Elle débute avec l'avènement d'Auguste, premier empereur romain, et s'achève généralement avec la mort de Marc Aurèle. Pendant près de deux siècles, l'Empire romain parvient à maintenir l'ordre sur un immense territoire s'étendant de la Bretagne aux rives de l'Euphrate, et du Rhin au Sahara.La Pax Romana ne signifie pas l'absence totale de conflits : Rome continue de faire la guerre à ses frontières, notamment contre les Parthes, les Germains ou les tribus berbères. Mais à l'intérieur de l'Empire, les soulèvements majeurs sont rares, et les guerres civiles — qui avaient ensanglanté la République romaine au Ier siècle av. J.-C. — prennent fin. L'autorité impériale centralisée, le monopole de la violence légitime et la professionnalisation de l'armée contribuent largement à ce climat de stabilité.Sur le plan économique, la Pax Romana favorise un essor remarquable. Le commerce se développe, facilité par un vaste réseau routier de plus de 80 000 kilomètres, une marine puissante assurant la sécurité maritime, et une monnaie relativement stable. Les produits circulent entre les provinces : vin d'Italie, huile d'Espagne, blé d'Égypte, épices d'Orient, esclaves des Balkans… Les grandes villes, à commencer par Rome, en tirent une prospérité visible dans l'urbanisme, les monuments et la vie culturelle.L'administration impériale joue aussi un rôle essentiel. Auguste réforme le gouvernement, crée un corps de fonctionnaires fidèles et met en place un système judiciaire plus structuré. Les populations provinciales, souvent respectueuses de la domination romaine en échange de paix et d'infrastructures, commencent à s'intégrer à la culture romaine, un processus appelé romanisation. Les élites locales adoptent la langue latine, les institutions romaines, et obtiennent progressivement la citoyenneté — jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit étendue à tous les hommes libres de l'Empire par l'édit de Caracalla en 212.Enfin, cette paix favorise l'essor intellectuel et artistique : littérature, philosophie stoïcienne, architecture, droit… La culture romaine rayonne, influencée aussi par l'héritage grec.La Pax Romana reste une période idéalisée dans l'histoire occidentale. Elle représente un moment unique où un empire, par la force autant que par l'intégration, réussit à pacifier un vaste espace multiculturel. Si elle prend fin avec les premières grandes crises du IIIe siècle, son souvenir inspire encore les empires ultérieurs cherchant à concilier puissance et stabilité. Hébergé par Acast.

One of the greatest mysteries of all time: Atlantis. What began as a single line in Plato's Timaeus—an island swallowed by the sea in a day and night—has fueled over two thousand years of obsession, speculation, and wild theories.This episode unpacks the origins of the legend, starting with Plato himself. A philosopher, not a historian, Plato introduced Atlantis through dialogues meant to explore morality, politics, and the collapse of civilizations. The tale he tells is rich in detail: a powerful island kingdom of concentric harbors, gleaming temples, and divine bloodlines, eventually undone by its own corruption.From the Temple of Poseidon and its golden statue to the mysterious red metal orichalcum, the description of Atlantis feels more like a blueprint than a metaphor. Yet the story ends abruptly, with Zeus about to speak—and then nothing. Plato left us with a cliffhanger that still echoes.The boys then trace the legacy of Atlantis through history—from the Renaissance age of exploration to Ignatius Donnelly's 1882 book that claimed Atlantis was the mother of all civilizations. They break down the leading location theories, including Santorini's volcanic past, the eerie rings of the Richat Structure in the Sahara, the underwater anomalies near the Azores, and even Antarctica under the ice.But it doesn't stop at geology. Atlantis has become a cultural mirror—showing up in alien lore, Nazi expeditions, New Age mysticism, and blockbuster films. Was it real? Was it metaphor? Or something in between?Whether Atlantis was fact, fiction, or fable, one thing is clear: it's a legend built to last.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast
