Episode 580: A Vacation in Southern Brittany with Elyse takes you on a journey through one of France's most enchanting yet underrated regions. Host Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dive into the hidden treasures of Southern Brittany, sharing their firsthand experiences and insider tips. This episode is perfect for travelers who love history, coastal charm, and authentic French culture—without the crowds. Listen to this episode ad-free Annie and Elyse start by exploring the Château de Suscinio, a 1,000-year-old castle that was once the second home of the Dukes of Brittany. Recently restored, this fortress now offers interactive exhibits, medieval crossbow demonstrations, and even a moat filled with swans. Elyse shares fascinating stories about the castle's past, including how it was gifted to a royal mistress and later abandoned before being brought back to life. If you're traveling with kids (or just a kid at heart), you'll love the hands-on activities and the chance to step into a real-life fairy tale. Next, they head to Île d'Arz, a peaceful island in the Gulf of Morbihan. Known as the "Island of Captains," this tiny gem is packed with history, from prehistoric megaliths to a medieval church and a working tidal mill. Elyse describes the island's unique vibe, where women once ran the farms while their men sailed the seas. You can walk or bike around the entire island in a day, stopping at quiet beaches, local crêperies, and even a sailing school. Elyse's personal anecdotes—like trying sesame ice cream for the first time—make the island feel like a place you need to visit. The episode also covers practical tips for exploring Southern Brittany. Elyse recommends basing your trip in Vannes, a charming city with a lively market and easy access to the gulf's many islands. She and Annie discuss the best ways to get around, including boat tours and bike rentals, and why the region's strong tides make every visit to the coast a little different. For food lovers, Southern Brittany is a dream. Elyse raves about fresh oysters for just six euros a dozen and the local Breton spritz, a cider-based twist on the classic Aperol spritz. The region's seafood, crêpes, and artisanal treats are not to be missed. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming of one, this episode is your guide to the best of Southern Brittany. Annie and Elyse's conversational style makes you feel like you're right there with them, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the local culture.

Published 11 Jan 2026We kick the new year off with a rip snorter. We chat to Dylan Fletcher, the SailGP winning skipper from the Emirates Great Britain team. Dylan is an Olympic Gold medallist, Moth World Champion and Sail GP winning skipper. He is ticking all the major boxes a sailor would like to tick. In the discussion, if you listen closely, you can pick up on his process which has led him to so much success. Plus we try and talk about as many championship events as we can. There is so much in this episode I think it could become one of our most popular.#emiratesgbrsailgp #dylan_fletcherscott #sailgp #disrupta_ #vaikobi #vaikobisail #radixnutrition #barkarate #sailingpodcast  #barkarateconversations #worldsailingofficial #sailing #boat #ocean #sport #voile #sail #sea #offshore #sailors #sailingworld #extremesailing #foils #yacht #yachts #saillife #instayacht #sailingblog #instasail

"A Night Alone Together: Usagi in Danger" (August 17, 1996) In our fourth look at Sailor Moon, we're discussing the final season, which features the Sailor Stars. Canonically, they're female superheroes who magically become boys in order to remain in disguise, and as a result some Sailor Moon fans consider them to be trans-coded or metaphorically transgender. It's not really for us to say one way or another, but there's enough discussion about how to discuss these characters' gender that it made sense to cover this episode. Will it be the last?

The War of 1812 wasn't sailors' rights — it was empire.Think you know why the War of 1812 started? Most people believe it was all about the Royal Navy “pressing” innocent American sailors. Historian Matt Taylor calls nonsense on that myth – and reveals how the real story is far darker, and far more explosive.Paul Bavill is joined by Matt Taylor, author of Black Redcoats, to uncover the hidden narratives of the War of 1812. From the forgotten African Americans who fought for Britain to the political smokescreens that dragged America into war, Matt shatters the schoolbook version of this conflict.Highlights include:The Real Cause of War – Forget sailors' rights: the United States launched the war as an imperialist grab for territory, land, and dominance over Native Americans.Black Redcoats & the Colonial Marines – Enslaved African Americans who escaped to British lines were armed, uniformed, and helped tear apart America's defenses. Their presence led directly to the collapse at Bladensburg and the burning of Washington.The Psychological Bombshell – Fear of slave uprisings paralysed militias, making the Chesapeake campaigns devastatingly effective.Aftermath & Legacy – From the unique “company villages” in Trinidad that still survive today, to the tragic destruction of Negro Fort in Florida, the legacy of the Black Redcoats still reverberates.The Human Story – Meet Fernando, enslaved, freed, re-enslaved by Andrew Jackson, and finally liberated – choosing to carry the name of the British officer who once commanded him.This episode doesn't just retell history – it rips apart comfortable myths and shows how race, freedom, and empire collided in ways that shaped nations. If you want history with bite, this is it.

80? Is that right? That seems crazy. Whats really crazy is as I type this I realize it's actually like 81 or 82 because I've misnumbered a few of these eps. I'm a working Mom, some things are gonna fall through the cracks. In this episode some cheesehead asks if she should STOP hooking up with a SAILOR. The answer is basically always no. Sailing is a lost art, like beyblades or listening. It's important we support sailors with our pu$$ys. My sons sitting beside me while I type this thank god neither of us can read.

SubscribeBuy me a coffeeBen Shapiro just dismissed Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty – where 34 American sailors were killed and 171 wounded – as basically “irrelevant” and “a mistake.” In this episode, we walk through the evidence he doesn't show you.​A US Navy intelligence ship. Multiple Israeli overflights that identified it as an American vessel. A giant US flag in clear weather. Life rafts shot in the water. Distress frequencies jammed in violation of international law. Then decades of political cover‑up from Washington.​In this breakdown, we:– Play the full AmFest exchange where a student confronts Shapiro on the USS Liberty– Compare Shapiro's “mistaken identity” claim to survivor testimony and Navy records– Look at why the attack and the cover‑up still matter for US–Israel policy today

HT2475 - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor I suppose everyone listening to this commentary would, to one degree or another, describe themselves as "a photographer." But how we define ourselves and how that creates our self-image can be helpful or hurtful to our creative life. Self-image and the psychology behind it can be a powerful influence on how we think and what we produce. By the term "photographer" do you mean someone who makes images to be framed and displayed on the wall? Do you define yourself as a seeker of truth? Do you define yourself as someone who does photography to make money? If asked, how would you describe the kind of photographer you are? Has that been consistent through the years and decades of your involvement in photography?

A Royal Canadian Navy sailor is rescued after going missing -- in the Pacific Ocean; we'll talk to a commander on a ship that got the mayday call. The Alberta government has used the notwithstanding clause yet again, this time to push through laws that will affect young transgender people. A trans advocate tells us it's too much -- and they've gone too far. A Liberal MP says he has concerns about an Alberta-built pipeline -- but Conservative attempts to get MPs like him to break from the federal government aren't going to fly. Australia enacts the world's first social media ban for children under the age of sixteen; one woman tells us that for her son, who has a disability, it's like losing a lifeline. We'll remember Sophie Kinsella, whose "Confessions of a Shopaholic" novels earned her legions of fans. Her editor tells us the author was as special as her books. After we heard about a rank ginkgo tree in a Nova Scotia historic garden, we heard from you about your own gingko struggles -- and how you odour-came them. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that turns over an "ew" leaf.

“Man your battle stations! This is no sh*t!” This is the story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  It's 7:55 on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. 183 Japanese aircraft descend on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Sailors awaken to a nightmare as “Battleship Row” becomes a graveyard, hundreds of US planes are destroyed without ever leaving the ground, and the cries of thousands of dying, wounded, and terrified Americans rend the air. It is a day that will “live in infamy.” And it means war. ____ Connect with us on ⁠HTDSpodcast.com⁠ and go deep into ⁠episode bibliographies⁠ and ⁠book recommendations⁠ join discussions in our ⁠Facebook community⁠ get news and discounts from ⁠The HTDS Gazette⁠  come ⁠see a live show⁠ get ⁠HTDS merch⁠ or become an ⁠HTDS premium⁠ member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Leslie Green, founder of Bonefish Sailor Lodge on Mangrove Cay in the Bahamas, has spent a lifetime mastering the art of bonefishing. Born and raised on Andros, Leslie grew up on the water, developing an intimate understanding of the island's vast flats, hidden creeks, and winding mangrove channels. Many of today's local guides began their careers under his mentorship, learning not only how to find bonefish but how to read the water, respect the environment, and welcome guests with genuine warmth. Leslie's skill on the flats is matched only by his passion for sharing the experience with others. Whether guiding seasoned anglers or teaching newcomers their first cast, he brings patience, enthusiasm, and a deep love for the pristine ecosystem he calls home. His uncanny ability to track the elusive “ghost of the flats” comes from decades of exploring both the East and West sides of Andros, often navigating remote areas known only to him. Bonefish Sailor Lodge is the realization of Leslie's long-held dream: a place where the stories, camaraderie, and spirit of bonefishing could be shared with like-minded adventurers. While the Lodge provides comfort and community for visiting anglers, it ultimately serves as an extension of Leslie himself—his values, his experience, and his desire to introduce others to the thrill of pursuing bonefish in one of the most extraordinary environments on earth.
