Podcasts about sahara desert

Send us Fan MailRay Zahab didn't grow up as the unstoppable endurance athlete people imagine when they hear “ultramarathoner” and “explorer.” He describes starting over around age 30, quitting a pack-a-day smoking habit, and following his younger brother into the outdoors until movement turned into purpose. That path eventually leads to one of the most jaw-dropping feats in endurance sports: running the length of the Sahara Desert, roughly 7,500 kilometers, day after day for 111 days.We get into what actually makes extreme endurance possible when the novelty wears off. Ray explains why removing expectations can unlock performance, how preparation and process beat bravado, and why he's careful about choosing expedition teammates who can leave ego at the door. He also shares how the “chosen hardship” of races and expeditions helped him face something he didn't choose at all: a rare blood cancer diagnosis and months of chemotherapy, approached with the same step-by-step resilience he learned outdoors.The episode goes deep on logistics and safety, from cutting pack weight for a self-contained Atacama Desert crossing to building a polar bear perimeter alarm system on Arctic sea ice. You'll hear what it means to respect the environment, when to turn around even after huge effort, and how Ray's nonprofit impossible2Possible brings free, education-driven expeditions to youth ages 16 to 21 around the world.If you're into ultrarunning, adventure racing, expedition planning, mental toughness, or simply changing your life through movement, this conversation will stick with you.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss an ancient civilisation who lived over 2000 years ago in the southwest of modern-day Libya. During prehistoric times, the Sahara Desert was greener and even had large lakes, but for the last 5000 years it has been a hyperarid environment. Extreme swings of temperature and limited surface water might make the Sahara seem like an inhospitable place to live, but an ancient people in North Africa known to us as the Garamantes thrived there. Following descriptions of the Garamantes in Roman and Greek texts, the Garamantes have often been seen as pastoral nomads, or as tribal barbarians on the periphery of the Mediterranean world. But the work of archaeologists in recent decades has revealed something different. Evidence suggests a society with flourishing towns and cities, complex underground irrigation systems, a key role in trade routes across the Sahara – and may give us a broader view of ancient history.WithDavid Mattingly Emeritus Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of LeicesterFarès Moussa Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton and Cultural Heritage ConsultantAndJosephine Quinn Professor of Ancient History and Fellow of St John's College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenReading list:C.M.

With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival.

Today I'm joined by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys — trail runner, activist, speaker, author, and founder of Black Trail Runners. Sabrina shares her incredible journey from initially turning to running as a way to cope with post-natal depression, to going on to complete some of the world's toughest endurance events — including the Marathon des Sables across the Sahara Desert, the brutal 268-mile Spine Race, the 100k Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, and countless other extraordinary adventures. But this conversation goes far beyond performance and finish lines. We explore how running first became a form of freedom and escape from difficult thoughts, before discussing how modern running culture can sometimes lose sight of that — becoming overly focused on pace, PBs, Strava statistics, body image, comparison, and constant optimisation. Sabrina speaks beautifully about how trail running allowed her to reconnect with the true essence of movement again: nature, exploration, playfulness, community, presence, and joy. The conversation also explores the racism Sabrina has experienced and how it fuelled her activism. Motivated by her lived experiences and a desire to create change, she founded Black Trail Runners in 2020 to increase inclusion, representation, safety, and accessibility within trail running and the outdoors.  This episode is about far more than running. It's about belonging, resilience, identity, healing, community, and reclaiming joy through movement. Twitter @SabrunsmilesInstagram @sabrunsmilesWebsite - https://sabrunsmiles.com/Black Trail Runners - https://blacktrailrunners.org/Start Where You Are (Book):Start Where You Are: The Beginner's 5k Running Guide for Women: Amazon.co.uk: Pace-Humphreys, Sabrina: 9781399423311: Books

In this episode, Jeff Gross sits down with Madrid-born tennis standout turned Miami luxury real estate mogul and world-class ultra-endurance athlete, Alvaro Nuñez. Alvaro shares the incredible narrative arc of his life—from facing a sudden U.S. visa lottery rejection to pivoting immediately to launch an international high-net-worth hospitality empire, which eventually evolved into the Super Luxury Group. He candidly details the profound mental breakthroughs he achieved through a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, enduring a grueling seven-day total darkness cave retreat, and running six marathons across the Sahara Desert to raise mental health awareness. Alvaro and Jeff dive deep into regulating the nervous system, building luxury creator houses focused on clean community networking, and why the ultimate metric of elite success comes down to a deceptively simple standard: doing exactly what you say you will do.

Freddie Bennett spent decades not knowing why his brain worked differently. Inattentive at school, masking his way through life, and by adulthood - stressed, depressed, and addicted. It wasn't laziness. It wasn't stupidity. It was undiagnosed ADHD.Getting that diagnosis in his mid-30s changed everything. But when his son then spent two years stuck on a public waitlist - Freddie decided enough was enough and Bay Paediatrics was built.Bay Paediatrics gives neurodiverse children and their families the fast answers, real support, and confidence they deserve to thrive. And Freddie is on a mission to establish New Zealand as a world leader in ADHD assessment and treatment. In this episode, Freddie gets real about what it actually feels like to be a late-diagnosed adult raising a child with ADHD. The shame. The masking. The dark years before the lightbulb moment. And how leaning into his neurodiversity is what took him from rock bottom to the Arctic, the Sahara Desert, a Guinness World Record - and now, to building a neurodiversity revolution in Aotearoa.This one's for every adult who spent their whole life being told they weren't enough.Connect with Freddie: Bay Paediatrics: https://baypaediatrics.com/Freddie on Instagram and FacebookLINKS TO OTHER GOOD SH*T:*Join Adulting with ADHD your ADHD toolbox & everything you need to work with your brain*Get our ADHD Coach in your pocket! + the ADHD Goal Setting Workbook (life planner tool)*12 Things I wished my Doctor had told me about Adult ADHD*Find out if you might be living with ADHD - Download Symptoms List*Check out Courses & Coaching with Xena*Learn, Inspire, Share & Connect inside our Facebook Community *Come hang out with me on Instagram!

Despite fluctuations in its price, gold continues to fuel economies and often greed across Africa. Deep in the Sahara, in Mauritania, extraction sites are multiplying across the desert.

In part one of our series, German explorer Heinrich Barth cuts his teeth learning from some of the great scientists of the age - including the famed Alexander von Humboldt. He survives (barely) an attack by bandits in Northern Africa and conducts a journey through frontiers of three continents, before setting out on an epic expedition that will lead him across the Sahara Desert and into heart of unknown Africa. It is the start of a journey that will last five years and cover more than 10,000 miles. Sponsors: Quince. Get free shipping with your order by using code EXPLORERS at quince.com/explorers Factor.

According to NHS England, every maternity service in England will need to meet new clinical standards set out by the NHS to significantly reduce the number of women who die each year during or after pregnancy. This comes after figures published earlier this year showed a 20% increase in maternal deaths between 2022 to 2024 compared to rates from 2009 to 2011. More than 500,000 babies are born in England every year and to discuss what these announcements mean in practise for pregnant women, Anita Rani is joined by Michael Buchanan, BBC Social Affairs correspondent.At the age of nearly 40, BBC broadcaster Sophie Raworth thought she was too old to start running. She'd done no exercise for decades. But after being invited to take part in The Great North Run and then seeing a friend do the London Marathon, Sophie decided to give it a go. Although it didn't quite initially go to plan, she kept going on a path that would take her around the world, from Sydney to New York and the Sahara Desert, completing 20 marathons and 10 ultra-marathons. She tells Anita about her new book, Running On Air, and reveals how in running, she has discovered an unexpected strength, new confidence and great friendships. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust has published a report spotlighting the link between stalking and homicide to mark National Stalking Awareness week. They say there are huge gaps in recording stalking as a contributing factor to homicide and want to see further research on this. Anita is joined by Saskia Garner, Head of Policy and Campaigns at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, and Detective Inspector Karen Butler from the Metropolitan Police, who works in the Stalking Threat Assessment Centre.On Monday, Sarah Finch became the European recipient of the Goldman Environmental Prize, for her work against oil drilling in Surrey, with the Weald Action Group. Their long legal battle led to a landmark judgement on fossil fuel emissions. The Goldman Prize, often referred to as the ‘Green Nobel', honours grassroots environmental activists from around the world. For the first time since its inception, all six prizes were won by women. Sarah joins Anita from California where the awards took place.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Andrea Kidd

Bernd Bender, Dharma talk on March 6 2026 at Akazienzendo Berlin“Everything conceived as self or other occurs in the transformation of consciousness.” While hiking through the Sahara Desert, Bernd recalled this teaching by Vasubandhu. In the desert, there is a desert-being; back in Berlin, there is a Berlin-being. This, according to Bernd, is one way to understand Vasubandhu's verse: we cannot step outside of consciousness. We do not experience the world as such—we experience consciousness. And precisely for that reason, we are not separate from what we call the world, things, or others. Consciousness is not something small, hidden inside our heads. It is unlimited—and yet we struggle to believe that. Bernd explores this teaching of “consciousness-only,“ which he also calls the “big bang of the Mahayana.” He explains the three aspects of consciousness: ālaya, or store consciousness; the consciousness of a self; and sensory consciousness. He also presents the teaching of the three natures—imagined nature, other-dependent nature, and realized nature—as three aspects present in every moment of experience, and connects all of this to the practice of resting in the field of mind.Support the show

Most of the tropical storms that roar across the Atlantic basin are born over Africa—especially the really big ones. They begin as low-pressure systems over the Sahara Desert, and are pushed into the Atlantic Ocean by a powerful jet stream. La Niña may boost that process. A recent study found that it may help create stronger systems over Africa, potentially leading to stronger tropical storms. La Niña is part of a back-and-forth cycle in the eastern Pacific Ocean, from warmer to cooler waters. La Niña is the cooler phase. And it can impact climate across the globe. The study found a link between La Niña and African easterly waves—the systems that form over Africa and head out to sea. During La Niña years, the waves are stronger, wetter, and more turbulent, so they produce more thunderstorms. That brings heavier rains to parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, even if the systems don't become tropical storms. La Niña changes the way air circulates across the entire planet. Over Africa, it appears to strengthen two jet streams, and it pushes one of them northward. It also has an effect on the African monsoon season. Those changes rev up the easterly waves—and the intensity of hurricanes. African easterly waves give birth to about 60 percent of all tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf—and more than 80 percent of the major ones. So understanding the link between La Niña and the waves could improve hurricane-season forecasts. The post Stronger Waves appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

In this special "On This Planet" episode, Ophira Edut of The AstroTwins talks to our longtime friend NEDA, a seasoned entertainment executive, former music manager for bands including Bon Jovi and Motley Crue, cultural diplomat and creator of the documentary "Nobody's Enemy: Youth Culture in Iran" (2006). An Iranian American currently residing in Istanbul, Neda's work has consistently bridged East and West through the power of media, music, and storytelling. In "Middle Eastern Misfits," Ophi and Neda discuss:

Scientists have officially described a brand new species of Spinosaurus — Spinosaurus mirabilis — from the Sahara Desert in Niger. This massive predatory dinosaur lived about 95 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous and may have hunted fish in shallow rivers like a giant prehistoric heron.What makes Spinosaurus mirabilis so unique is its huge scimitar-shaped head crest, which could have been brightly colored and used for display. Fossils discovered in 2019 and 2022 revealed multiple crests and skull fragments that confirmed this was a completely new species within the famous spinosaurid family.This discovery is particularly exciting because it's the first clear new species of Spinosaurus described in more than a century, and it may change how scientists think these dinosaurs lived and hunted. Instead of being fully aquatic predators, this species may have been a semi-aquatic wader stalking fish in inland river systems deep in the Sahara.In this video we break down the discovery, the fossils, and what Spinosaurus mirabilis tells us about the evolution of spinosaurs.

The history of Islam in North Africa, Arabia, Iraq and the Levant is generally well known, and the great dynasties of these regions—such as the Umayyad Caliphate, Abbasid Caliphate, and Ayyubid dynasty—are readily recognised in both world and Muslim history. Yet far less attention is given to the Muslim rulerships of Bilad al-Sudan, the vast belt of lands stretching south of the Sahara Desert. Between the 11th and 16th centuries this region became one of the great zones of Islamic civilization, where powerful empires such as the Ghana Empire, Mali Empire, and Songhai Empire flourished along the trade routes of the Sahel. Muslim geographers and travellers including Al-Bakri, Al-Idrisi, and Ibn Battuta left rich accounts describing these kingdoms, their scholars, and their vibrant Islamic societies.

A likely successor for Jane Goodall is Professor Cat Hobaiter, who's based at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. She told the AAAS audience of her finding the 6,000-year-old mummies of baboons in Egypt. But there are no wild baboons there — so where did those dead creatures come from?  

Stage 3 of Sahara Gravel took the riders away from the Atlas Mountains and towards the Sahara Desert, with 95 kilometers ending in a tailwind. Payson is joined by stage winner Eddy Le Huitouze to discuss how the race played out, but first, they do a little background on how he got here. The 22-year-old Frenchman just completed two years in the WorldTour with FDJ and has been racing bikes since the tender age of six. He talks about his time in the WorldTour, lining up for Flanders and Roubaix last year, and why he's left the road behind to race gravel this year. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

He says a Toronto hospital changed his life by treating his mental health condition -- and now, he's hoping his $10-million donation to that facility will change other patients' lives too. A paleontologist sets off for the Sahara Desert with nothing but an old monograph of an ancient tooth and unearths something truly ferocious, with an appropriately ferocious nickname. Two Michigan men break a record that was exciting to them -- and annoying to everyone in their general vicinity -- by playing pickleball for 28 straight hours.

Niger sits landlocked in the heart of West Africa's Sahel, where sand meets sky in dramatic fashion. Named after the mighty river that curves through its southwestern corner, this is Africa's largest nation by area, though much of it consists of the Sahara Desert in varying moods. It's hot, remote, politically volatile, and utterly mesmerizing – a place where ancient trade routes still whisper stories and the horizon seems to stretch into eternity.Love the pod? Get the guide!

Perimenopause and menopause can feel like a time of massive change.  Because it IS! And with physical and hormonal changes comes the need for a big upgrade to your exercise and wellness routine. That's why I've brought expert Brian Keane onto the podcast to offer insight on optimally evolving your healthy habits to move with you through this wonderful season of life.  We dive into why restriction or an all-or-nothing approach to exercise can completely backfire in perimenopause and what to focus on instead for strength, energy, and longevity.  Brian also shares the most overlooked opportunities for building sustainable, effective wellness habits in midlife.  If you're ready to lean into this powerful season of life with confidence (and less frustration), this episode is for you! Tune in now.  Brian Keane Brian Keane is a 3x bestselling author, certified strength and conditioning coach, sports nutritionist, and the host of the top podcast, The Brian Keane Podcast.

At the cusp of the 20th century, it seemed like contact with another world was just a matter of time. In fact, the French Academy of Sciences announced a prize for such a feat 125 years ago today. The winner would receive 100,000 francs. There was only one catch: Mars didn’t count. The prize was established by Clara Guzman in honor of her son. He was a follower of astronomer Camille Flammarion, who wrote extensively – and fancifully – about the Red Planet. Guzman excluded Mars from the competition because it seemed just too easy. Percival Lowell had popularized the idea that Mars was crisscrossed by canals – built by Martians to bring water from the poles to the planet’s deserts. Inventor Nicola Tesla had reported hearing possible radio signals from Mars. And many others thought that vast dark areas on Mars were covered with vegetation. Many schemes were proposed to contact the Martians. One suggested creating giant geometric shapes in Siberia. Another suggested digging the shapes into the Sahara Desert, filling them with kerosene, and setting them on fire. None of the schemes ever materialized. And no one ever claimed the prize for contacting another world. So the French academy decided to award the prize for making physical contact. In 1969, it awarded the Guzman Prize to Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins – the first men to set foot on another world. Script by Damond Benningfield

Most C-suite executives resist group coaching. They think it's beneath them. That they need one-on-one attention. That the cool kids don't do groups. But here's what they're missing: The executives landing fastest aren't going it alone - they're in rooms with other sharp leaders who push them, connect them, and amplify their momentum. Group coaching isn't about splitting attention. It's about multiplying force. The hidden math of going solo One coach. One perspective. One set of connections. Versus: One coach + 10-15 C-suite peers from different industries + guest experts + cross-pollinated networks + collective negotiation intel + real-time market intelligence. That's not diluted support. That's exponential leverage. In this episode: Why the job market playbook from 10 years ago (or even last year) is obsolete The real reason networking doesn't work - and what to do instead How LinkedIn went from "nice to have" to non-negotiable visibility engine Why referrals make up less than 10% of applications but 40% of hires The hidden talent economy: roles created for people before they're ever posted What separates executives who land in 60 days from those still searching at month 9 The power of micro-networks (clusters) over massive, generic connections How to build your own digital power circle in 3 steps Who should NOT be in a group program (and why that matters) A real transformation Before: A 20-year healthcare executive. Over a decade at one company. LinkedIn follower count: under 1,000. No active presence. Outdated job search strategies. No idea how to navigate the new hiring landscape. Then: Joined Portfolio Rocket's group coaching program. Learned to build a voice on LinkedIn. Showed up authentically. Shared vulnerable stories (like iPhone rules for her daughter). Connected with peers across industries - education, design, marketing, advertising. After: 14,000+ LinkedIn followers. A viral post picked up by Angela Duckworth. Global reach. Podcast invitations. A negotiation expert from the cohort coached her through her package. Introductions to Oprah's network within 24 hours. And a career ecosystem that breathes, responds, and remembers. That's not luck. That's the compounding power of being in the room where it happens. Timestamps (0:00) - Intro (1:17) - Why Cece joined group coaching after 10+ years out of the job market (5:00) - The first piece of armor to drop: building a voice on LinkedIn (8:11) - Why job searching today is fundamentally different than even a year ago (10:50) - The hidden job market and roles created before posting (14:30) - Networking is dead. Clustering is alive. (16:40) - Times Square vs. the Sahara Desert: where do you want to be? (19:03) - How to tap into micro-networks and digital power circles (21:28) - The exponential effect: classmates become colleagues, friends, connectors (22:00) - The intangibles: mindset, structure, guardrails, and optimism (25:08) - Who should NOT be in a group program (26:30) - October: 5 people landed. November: still counting. The takeaway Your next role isn't waiting in a job posting. It's being shaped in a conversation you're not part of yet - with people who don't know your name. Unless you're in the room where it happens. Group coaching isn't a compromise. It's a catalyst. Stop going solo. Start going exponential.
