What starts as a joke tips quickly into uncanny valley territory, and from there into a shared list of words that have started to grate on them both (casted, obligated, positionality, normalcy), and their mutual discomfort with how thoroughly trauma has been worn smooth by overuse.

It’s a crossover episode! Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever x Part-Time Genius join forces to take on Blue Zones—like Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; or Sardinia, Italy—places said to hold the secret of longer, healthier life. But what makes them so special—and why are they blue?!?!? (Spoiler, it has nothing to do with the ocean.) Is their longevity power real or just a myth? And why did the researchers who started it all have a falling-out that might just last a hundred years, too? We’ll be back with a new HTLF episode next Tuesday.

The extreme heat wave that swept across Europe in late June triggered a public health crisis while sharply increasing the risk of wildfires.6 月下旬席卷欧洲的极端热浪引发了一场公共卫生危机，同时大幅加剧了野火发生风险。Extremely high temperatures contributed to a surge in excess deaths across several countries, particularly among the elderly, while prolonged drought left soil and vegetation tinder-dry, bringing an earlier and destructive wildfire season.极端高温导致多个国家超额死亡人数激增，老年人受影响尤为严重；持续干旱使土壤与植被变得极度干燥，野火季提前到来且破坏力大幅上升。According to preliminary data, France recorded at least 2,025 excess deaths during the week of June 22-28.初步数据显示，法国在 6 月 22 日至 28 日这一周内记录至少 2025 例超额死亡。People aged 65 and older accounted for 85 percent of confirmed heat-related deaths.已确认的高温致死病例中，65 岁及以上人群占比 85%。In Belgium, 1,222 excess deaths were recorded between June 18 and 29, representing a 39 percent increase in excess mortality.比利时 6 月 18 日至 29 日记录 1222 例超额死亡，超额死亡率同比上升 39%。Meanwhile, Spain's daily mortality monitoring system attributed 1,029 excess deaths in June to unusually high temperatures, and the Netherlands reported around 480 excess deaths, most of them among older people.与此同时，西班牙每日死亡监测系统认定，该国 6 月有 1029 例超额死亡由异常高温引发；荷兰上报约 480 例超额死亡，死者大多为老年人。The health impacts were driven not only by extreme daytime temperatures but also by persistently hot nights.高温对健康的危害不仅源于白天极端高温，持续闷热的夜间气温同样带来严重影响。France described the episode as the most intense heatwave ever recorded in mainland France and Corsica, with the national 24-hour average temperature exceeding 30 degrees Celsius for the first time.法国称此次热浪是法国本土及科西嘉岛有记录以来强度最高的一次，全国 24 小时平均气温首次突破 30 摄氏度。Nighttime temperatures remained unusually high, preventing the body from recovering from heat accumulated during the day.夜间气温居高不下，人体无法缓解白天积蓄的高温热量，难以恢复状态。Analysts said several structural factors have amplified the deadly impact of extreme heat across Europe, including an aging population, social isolation, poorly insulated housing, limited access to air conditioning and the urban heat island effect.分析人士表示，多项结构性因素加剧了极端高温在欧洲造成的致命危害：人口老龄化、独居人群增多、房屋隔热性能差、空调普及率低以及城市热岛效应。In Northern Europe, many buildings were designed to retain heat rather than dissipate it.北欧多数建筑在建造时以保温为设计目标，散热能力较差。Persistent heat and scarce rainfall also dried out vegetation and soil, making landscapes highly combustible and bringing an unusually early start to the wildfire season in several countries.持续高温、降雨稀少致使植被和土壤彻底干涸，地表可燃物极易引燃，多个国家的野火季异常提前。France has recorded approximately 7,000 fires since the start of summer, burning nearly 8,700 hectares, with the worst blazes concentrated in the south.入夏以来法国已记录约 7000 起火情，过火面积近 8700 公顷，灾情最严重的区域集中在南部。Authorities said the fire season began about two to three weeks earlier than in previous years.当地政府表示，今年野火季比往年提前了两至三周。In Germany, wildfires also exposed specific challenges related to geography and history.德国的野火也暴露出该国受地理与历史因素制约的特殊救灾难题。In Rotenfels, near Traisen in Western Germany, about 650 people were evacuated as flames spread through a difficult-to-access forest.德国西部特赖森附近的罗滕费尔斯地区，火势蔓延至一片交通闭塞的林区，约 650 名居民紧急疏散。The presence of unexploded World War II-era munitions prevented firefighters from intervening directly, forcing them to rely on roadblocks, sprinkler systems, firebreaks, and firefighting robots.林区留存大量二战未爆炸弹药，消防员无法直接进场灭火，只能依靠道路封锁、喷淋系统、防火隔离带及消防机器人开展作业。On Croatia's Adriatic coast, high temperatures, dry vegetation and strong winds fueled the flames.克罗地亚亚得里亚海岸，高温、干燥植被与强风共同助长火势蔓延。During the first half of the year, approximately 2,800 wildfires destroyed more than 6,300 hectares, a sharp increase from the same period last year.该国上半年共发生约 2800 起野火，烧毁土地超 6300 公顷，较去年同期大幅上涨。Greece, where summer wildfires are common, has been battling dozens of forest and wildland fires almost daily.希腊常年夏季频发野火，今年几乎每日都要应对数十起山林火情。In Italy, persistent heat and drought have placed certain southern regions, as well as Sicily and Sardinia, at "extreme" or "very extreme" fire risk.持续高温干旱让意大利南部部分地区、西西里岛与撒丁岛处于 “极高” 或 “极端” 火灾风险等级。In central Portugal, a wildfire in Vouzela injured seven people, forced the evacuation of two villages, and burned more than 7,000 hectares.葡萄牙中部沃泽拉地区爆发野火，造成 7 人受伤，两个村庄居民被迫撤离，过火面积超 7000 公顷。With both the number of fires and the area burned more than doubling from the same period in 2025, Portugal has raised its rural firefighting response system to its highest operational level.葡萄牙今年火情数量、过火面积均较 2025 年同期翻番，该国已将乡村消防应急体系提升至最高响应等级。Governments across Europe have responded by tightening prevention rules and strengthening emergency preparedness.欧洲各国政府纷纷出台应对举措，收紧防火管控条例、强化应急筹备工作。France has expanded the use of drones and artificial intelligence (AI) and reinforced firefighter training.法国扩大无人机与人工智能在防火救灾中的应用，并加强消防员专业培训。Greece has intensified early-warning systems, restricted access to forests, mandated vegetation clearance and expanded drone- and AI-assisted satellite monitoring.希腊升级高温火情预警系统、限制民众进入林区、强制清理易燃植被，并拓展无人机与人工智能卫星监测覆盖范围。Portugal has banned the use of machinery in forests, brush clearing with metal blades and fireworks during high-risk periods.葡萄牙规定高火险时段禁止在林区使用机械设备、金属刀具清理灌木以及燃放烟花。Italy has activated its national heatwave plan, issued regular heat alerts, and stepped up monitoring of heat-related deaths and emergency hospital admissions.意大利启动全国高温应急方案，常态化发布高温预警，并加强高温致死病例与高温急诊入院人数监测。The latest heatwave showed how Europe is entering an era in which extreme summer weather is arriving earlier, lasting longer and becoming increasingly difficult to manage.此次热浪充分表明，欧洲已进入夏季极端天气频发的新阶段：极端高温来得更早、持续时间更长，管控难度持续加大。As heat, drought and wildfires reinforce one another, they are placing mounting pressure on healthcare systems, critical infrastructure and emergency services, posing a growing challenge for governments across Europe.高温、干旱与野火形成恶性循环，给医疗体系、关键基础设施和应急救援部门带来持续加重的压力，成为欧洲各国政府日益严峻的治理难题。heatwave /ˈhiːtweɪv/n. 热浪wildfire

She breaks down how the Seventh Day Adventist Church, John Harvey Kellogg, and powerful food and academic institutions worked together to manufacture the "Blue Zones" longevity story, and why the real history of Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, and Loma Linda tells a very different tale about meat, pork, and animal fat. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.Belinda Fettke is an independent researcher known for investigating the historical, religious, and commercial influences on modern dietary guidelines. After her husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was investigated for advising patients to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates, she began researching the origins of nutrition policy and public health messaging.

Freddie is back from Italy and he has something to say about rest. Not the kind where you check your phone less — real, full untethering from your life, your obligations, your identity as a health entrepreneur. Two weeks of pasta, espresso, cannolis, and walking a hundred miles through Florence, Rome, and Sardinia. And what he came back with wasn't a protocol. It was a perspective shift as powerful as any medicine he's ever taken. In this solo episode he unpacks what Italian culture actually showed him about time, community, meals as ceremony, and why the absence of chronic illness paranoia in that culture might be saying something profound about the relationship between stress, belief, and biological terrain. He also gets honest about the financial design choices that make a trip like this possible — and why he thinks more people could engineer that kind of freedom than they realize. The second half of this episode is a love letter to MagnaCon — the l PEMF conference hosted by MagnaWave and AuraWell in Louisville, Kentucky, where Freddie served as emcee for 500 practitioners, scientists, veterinarians, and wellness enthusiasts celebrating FDA Class II cleared PEMF technology. From touring the US-made AuraWell factory to watching speakers share stories of Kentucky Derby horses healed from the brink, Freddie describes it as one of the most genuinely full experiences of his professional life. He closes with sponsor love for SilverBiotics — his travel immune staple across five international flights — and a personal update on the LightPath LED Orange Torch and intranasal red light therapy, which has been producing HRV and sleep score improvements that are hard to explain and impossible to ignore.

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso explain that they sold their house in the US so they are now finally living full time in bel'italia.  They also share that the Italian summer season is off to a slow-ish start and offer travel insights and essential tips for anyone planning a summer trip to Italy. Key Points: A New Chapter in Italy: Kimberly and Tommaso reflect on their move to Italy, which began in late January. They describe the process of selling their home in America and the effort of downsizing 19 years of possessions. The couple shares their experiences adjusting to Italian life, including the pleasure of a relaxed pace and the genuine friendliness of locals. Italian Hospitality and Culture: Kimberly and Tommaso highlight the authentic warmth of Italian people, especially in service settings. They note a cultural difference where Italian service workers, who do not rely on tips, show genuine friendliness. This genuine nature contributes to a pleasant atmosphere in cafes and restaurants. Summer Travel Trends in Italy (2026): There are fewer American and Canadian tourists in Italy this year. European travelers are exploring destinations within Europe, often by car or camper van. Smaller, less-known Italian destinations are gaining popularity over major cities like Rome and Venice. Tourism statistics in Europe offer clear insights into these trends, showing shifts in visitor numbers and travel patterns. August Train Travel Tips: August brings track maintenance and updates to Italy's rail system, especially on high-speed lines (Frecciarossa). This means fewer fast train options and potential delays, with “No Travel Found” messages indicating unreleased timetables. Regional trains may be the only option. They can be slower and more crowded. Italian Work-Life Balance: August is a popular month for Italians to take vacations. Many hospitality workers take a break. Italy mandates a minimum of four weeks of paid leave for employees. This policy supports employee well-being and contributes to a happy workforce. Quirky Beach Rules in Sardinia: The village of Villasimius on Sardinia has implemented new rules for Punta Molentis beach due to overtourism and a recent wildfire. New regulations include an entrance fee, parking limits, and mandatory reservations. Umbrellas are banned for most visitors, with exceptions only for children under 10 and adults over 65. These rules aim to manage crowds and protect the ecosystem. Dress Codes and Civility: Strict dress codes are in place in historic centers. Fines apply for walking around in swimwear or shirtless. Proper attire is required when using public transportation or entering establishments like cafes and gelaterias. This reflects Italy's emphasis on respectability and civility, even for a culture known for its style and allure. Summer Weather and Sightseeing: Europe is experiencing active warming, with Italy often having warm, dry summers from mid-June to September. Kimberly recommends an early start to explore cities, followed by a late, light lunch and a “bel riposo” (nap) during the hottest part of the day. Evening strolls offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, providing a pleasant way to experience Italian cities. Join Kimberly and Tommaso as they navigate their new life in Italy, sharing practical advice and engaging stories to make your Italian travels memorable.

What if one of the most powerful medicines for longevity, resilience, happiness, cognitive health, and disease prevention wasn't found in a supplement, a prescription, or a cutting-edge biohack—but in the people around you? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien dives into one of the most overlooked health crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from the landmark 85-year Harvard Adult Development Study, the U.S. Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report, Blue Zones research, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Darin reveals why meaningful human connection may be one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity ever discovered. From oxytocin, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation to suburban design, social media, and the collapse of community structures, Darin exposes the hidden biological costs of isolation—and offers a practical roadmap for rebuilding the human connections we were biologically designed to need.     What You'll Learn The stunning findings from Harvard's 85-year Adult Development Study Why relationships outperform wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise as predictors of well-being How loneliness increases the risk of premature death, dementia, heart disease, and stroke Why social isolation creates measurable biological stress responses The role of oxytocin in lowering inflammation and regulating stress How human connection affects the autonomic nervous system Why Blue Zone communities consistently prioritize social connection The biological difference between digital interaction and real human presence How modern architecture and technology contribute to loneliness Why community is a biological necessity—not a luxury Practical ways to rebuild meaningful relationships today How connection may be one of the most powerful health interventions available   Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste and reducing plastic waste 00:02:49 – The most powerful health study ever conducted 00:03:01 – Harvard follows 724 people for 85 years 00:03:40 – The surprising predictor of a long, healthy life 00:04:00 – Why relationships beat wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise 00:04:42 – The Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic warning 00:05:19 – Introducing the medicine you're not taking 00:05:53 – The health benefits of genuine community 00:06:21 – The fatal convenience of modern life 00:06:47 – Replacing human connection with digital connection 00:07:12 – Why modern convenience may be creating isolation 00:07:23 – Social isolation and premature mortality 00:08:02 – Loneliness and the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day 00:08:43 – Increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia 00:09:10 – Why loneliness is a biological threat 00:09:52 – The science behind social isolation 00:10:11 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:06 – Humans as the most socially dependent species 00:12:53 – Why connection regulates the nervous system 00:13:29 – The autonomic nervous system and social safety 00:13:56 – The brain's constant question: Am I safe?

Human connection isn't a luxury, a personality trait, or a nice bonus when life slows down. It is biology. It is medicine. And in a world increasingly designed for isolation, rebuilding community may be one of the most important health decisions we ever make."     Bibliography/Sources: Primary Research — Loneliness, Social Isolation & Health Associated Press.

Send us Fan MailA face full of acupuncture needles and a sourdough microbiologist on a country road in Sardinia: this week Simon and Lee cover a lot of ground. The main story is a hitchhiking adventure from an agriturismo near Tempio – Lil's first time ever, Simon's first in perhaps thirty-five years – that ends with a chance encounter so improbable it needs several minutes of recounting before either of them quite believes it. From there the conversation opens into what happens to your assumptions about people when you're somewhere unfamiliar, and what it means to feel genuinely lucky rather than merely privileged.MentionedMary Shelley – 19th-century English author; referenced when the acupuncture needles prompt a comparison to a scene from a horror novelChega – Portuguese far-right political party; mentioned as a Portuguese equivalent of Fratelli d'Italia and Reform UKFratelli d'Italia – Italian far-right political party; cited as a European parallel to ChegaReform UK – British populist party; mentioned as a point of comparison.Get in touch with Lee and Simon at info@midlifing.net. ---The Midlifing logo is adapted from an original image by H.L.I.T: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29311691@N05/8571921679 (CC BY 2.0)

In this solo episode of Moving To Oneness, Meilin speaks from the powerful island of Corsica, where wind, water, stone, sun, birds, and ancient songs become living teachers. Standing near Bonifacio, with Sardinia in the distance, she invites you to listen with her to the wisdom of the island — its limestone rocks, clear salt water, olive and pine trees, resilient people, and the sound of Corsican songs carrying history, strength, and tenderness. Together you explore how the ocean can embrace and remember us, how the wind can teach us to play and stay flexible, how the sun warms and awakens our skin, and how stone shows us both strength and softness. This episode is an invitation to connect with water, speak with the elements, set clear intentions, and feel how energy moves through your body from Earth to sky and sky to Earth. Corsica reminds us to stand like the rocks in the sea: shaped by time, touched by wind and water, yet still present in our beauty. May this episode support you in saying yes to yourself again, remembering your own ancient strength, and allowing your light, love, ideas, and presence to move into the world. ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~You are invited to bring your wisdom and powerful energy over to our Fb group where you can share it with us and others.

In this episode of This Old Tree, with Doug Still...Sa Melabrina is a Downy Oak tree the size of a small church, draped in moss and ferns. Her ancient arms spread wide in the surrounding forest near Illorai, Sardinia. She's the oldest and largest of her kind in all of Europe. And she's been standing here in these mountains for nine centuries. What she symbolizes is even greater than her beauty. The town's mayor organized a remarkable conference drawing scientists, conservationists, and community leaders from across Sardinia and beyond, all united around a single idea: that Sardinia's ancient trees, its oldest living landmarks, could form a network worth protecting, visiting, and fighting for. There is something else at stake. Sardinia's small towns are quietly shrinking. Depopulation is hollowing out villages that have survived for millennia. Saving these old trees is vital, but Sardinia's leaders ask a new type of question: Can Sa Melabrina and Sardinia's monumental trees save its small towns?

Living Better for Longer: Blue Zones, Longevity and the Places We Create Guest: Marcus Pearce What do a small Greek island, a mountain village in Sardinia, and a Californian faith-based community have in common? They are among the world's famous Blue Zones - places where people routinely live into their nineties and hundreds, not because of miracle diets or expensive health interventions, but because of the way their communities are structured and how people live their everyday lives. In this episode, Peter Jewell and Jess Noonan speak with Marcus Pearce, longevity educator, host of the 100 Not Outpodcast, and founder of wellbeing experiences to Blue Zone communities. Marcus shares his personal journey from sports journalist to one of Australia's leading voices on healthy ageing and wellbeing. The conversation explores what planners, designers and policymakers can learn from places where longevity is not the exception but the norm. In this episode we discuss: What Blue Zones are and how they were identified The six recognised Blue Zones, including the recent addition of Singapore Marcus's personal transformation from sports media to longevity advocacy Why attitudes towards ageing can significantly influence lifespan The role of social connection, purpose and community in healthy ageing What makes places such as Ikaria (Greece) and Sardinia (Italy) unique The importance of walkability and natural movement in daily life Why loneliness may be one of the greatest public health challenges of our time The relationship between urban design, wellbeing and longevity How modern technology and changing work patterns may be weakening social connections Lessons planners can draw from village-scale living and human-centred environments Whether Blue Zone principles can be applied in contemporary cities Marcus also reflects on the concept of an "ageing mentor" - someone whose approach to life and ageing inspires us to think differently about our own future. Key Takeaway The most powerful lesson from the Blue Zones may be that healthy ageing is less about individual optimisation and more about creating places where connection, movement, purpose and belonging occur naturally. In other words, the environment often shapes healthier behaviours without people consciously trying to pursue them. Guest Marcus Pearce Host of the 100 Not Out podcast and founder of Blue Zone-inspired wellbeing experiences. Marcus has spent more than a decade interviewing centenarians, longevity experts and wellbeing leaders, helping people rethink what it means to live a long and meaningful life. Podcast Extra In Culture Corner: Marcus reflects on David Attenborough's remarkable longevity and asks: Who is your ageing mentor? Jess discusses The Mushroom Tapes by Helen Garner, Sarah Krasnostein and Claire Hooper. Peter talks about rediscovering fountain pens following a recent trip to Japan. Podcast released 29 May 2026.

Send us Fan MailSimon and Lee open with friendship: Simon has spent the day building a clay oven in Sardinia with Igor and Moreno and finds himself moved by the sheer fact of having people like that in his life. From there the conversation turns to a harder question - whether either of them can actually ask for help when it really counts - and two stories emerge: Lee's account of a yoga acquaintance who showed up with a kindness he couldn't receive, and Simon's retelling of a moment when Lil found herself trapped in a long hug from a friend's partner that felt vampiric rather than warm. The episode closes on a mix-up between a work anniversary and thirty years of marriage, and the one piece of advice Lee has yet to take himself.MentionedWalt Whitman – 19th-century American poet; referenced as "Uncle Walt" alongside his phrase "we contain multitudes," offered as a gentle counterweight to a moment of harsh self-assessmentLinkedIn – professional networking platform; the source of an automated work anniversary notification that sets off the episode's closing exchangeGet in touch with Lee and Simon at info@midlifing.net. ---The Midlifing logo is adapted from an original image by H.L.I.T: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29311691@N05/8571921679 (CC BY 2.0)

Freddie is recording from a kitchen in Sardinia — Cynthia on the couch, Gladiator 2 queued up, and a commitment to never miss a Monday. In this solo dispatch, he revisits the recent episode with Elaine Pauli and MagnaWave, sharing new clinical data that wasn't in the original episode: PEMF therapy didn't just reduce prostate size by 27% in 30 days — it actually changed how mitochondria process carbohydrates and sugar, restructuring the cell's ability to generate energy going forward. He connects this to one of the most compelling proofs in the field — a non-union fracture that fails to heal for seven years suddenly restarting bone growth when exposed to high-powered PEMF — and the Kentucky Derby winner who crossed the finish line after using MagnaWave every day in training. This isn't fringe anymore. It's FDA cleared as a Class II medical device. And Freddie has been waiting for this moment for over five years. He also shares a personal announcement: after championing Light Path LED since 2018, Freddie has officially stepped into a leadership role at the company alongside founder Scott Kennedy and Ben Carlson. He breaks down the new Titan panel — six feet of full-body red light coverage, three spectrums, 1,000+ LEDs, a mechanical adjustable stand, and a five-year warranty — and explains why even a 0.2% daily increase in mitochondrial output compounds into something profound over seven years of consistent use. The episode closes with something rarer in the wellness space: a genuine reflection on the healing power of doing nothing. Florence, Rome, Sardinia, good food, long walks, and people watching. No emails. No protocols. Just presence — and the reminder that the tools only work if the nervous system is calm enough to receive them.    Episode Highlights [02:38] – New MagnaWave findings on prostate size and mitochondrial function [03:42] – PEMF as a signaling tool rather than the source of healing itself [06:00] – MagnaWave's FDA-cleared progress and the future of PEMF adoption [07:10] – Freddie announces his leadership role with Light Path LED [09:15] – The new Titan red light panel and why accessibility matters [13:50] – The compounding effect of small daily wellness habits [15:02] – How chronic illness forced Freddie to rethink his lifestyle choices [16:05] – Why travel and unplugging can be deeply therapeutic [17:58] – Reflections on rest, perspective, and slowing down outside daily routines   UPGRADE YOUR WELLNESS Get AuraWell PEMF: https://calendly.com/cameron-ci3b/podcast Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED https://lightpathled.com/?afmc=BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Code: beautifullybroken STEMREGEN: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen/?afmc=beautifullybroken Code: beautifullybroken Flowpresso 3-in-1 technology: (https://calendly.com/freddiekimmel/flowpresso-one-on-one-discovery) CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

That performance and time spent together sparked the relationship with the artist, and now we're proud to present this transnational talent with his brand new single. On the A-side, All Good, Alright? showcases Fonts's signature soulful style in full dancefloor form, lush pads and techy synth patches cutting through crisp drums and mesmerising vocal sampling. The track channels the spirit of La Cinta beach in Sardinia: open-air, euphoric, and alive, without ever losing the introspective musicality that defines his compositional voice. It speaks to Fonts's ability to compose deeply expressive music that also moves a crowd. Hold On Me takes the release into deeper territory, where Fonts's classical training becomes the foundation rather than the background. Growing up immersed in classical music, and drawing on the textural, emotionally layered world of Studio Ghibli soundtracks, he weaves these influences, Western and Japanese, formal and filmic, into something distinctly his own. Thoughtfully crafted drum arrangements and signature vocal chops ground it firmly in drum & bass, while the emotional architecture reaches far beyond it. We're honoured to welcome Fonts to the SUNANDBASS Recordings family, an artist whose sound reflects our love for all corners of the genre while paying homage to the music that brings us together in Sardinia year after year. SUNANDBASS Recordings continues to push the boundaries of drum & bass, fostering connection through music that transcends borders, unites listeners, and celebrates rhythm, movement, and culture.

Send us Fan MailSimon is recording from Sassari, where the barn doors have just gone in and the pace of life feels unrecognisably slow. A conversation about loitering with intent – a legal phrase that turns out to be untranslatable into Portuguese – opens into a wide-ranging examination of third spaces, billionaires, and the frictionlessness of modern commerce: what the UK has lost, and why. Lee's account of an unplanned evening in Lisbon, ending with the three of them eavesdropping on an orchestra rehearsing through a church door, becomes the episode's counterpoint and its argument: that the best days are the ones that just keep opening.MentionedSassari – city in Sardinia; Simon is recording from there mid-renovation on a place he has in the cityMinority Report – Tom Cruise film involving pre-crime; cited as the logical endpoint of loitering with intent as a thought crimeCocktail – Tom Cruise film initially named instead of Minority Report; the mix-up launches a long digressionBryan Brown – Australian actor who appeared in Cocktail with Tom Cruise; his character's fate in the film briefly discussedRichard Chamberlain – actor; mentioned in connection with Cocktail and then The Thorn Birds and ShogunThe Thorn Birds – TV miniseries; Richard Chamberlain connection discussedShogun – TV miniseries; Richard Chamberlain confirmed as lead [?] – transcript garbled hereDoctor Kildare – TV series; Richard Chamberlain's earlier role, mentioned in passingJason Bourne / The Bourne series – Matt Damon spy franchise; invoked as another example of a character who wakes without his memory [?] – conversation unclear on whether the Bourne / Chamberlain thread was resolvedTilted Arc – Richard Serra sculpture [transcript says "Richard Sarah"] installed in Federal Plaza, New York; designed to bifurcate the plaza and force pedestrians around it; cited as an example of productive friction in public spaceRichard Sennett – writer and sociologist; invoked for his writing on friction in urban spaces and city lifeToo Good To Go – food waste app; compared between Coventry (mostly chain confectionery) and Sassari (independent grocers and green goods)Lievetta – artisan bakery in Sassari; slow-fermented, whole-grain bread; discussed as a surprising success in a city used to plainer loavesKeir Starmer – mentioned briefly as the kind of figure who has a public life in the institutional sensePink Street – famous nightclub street in Lisbon; described as culturally hollowed out after the last Portuguese-owned venue closedLucas – cocktail maker at a Lisbon bar; produced Japanese plum hooch from under the counter for an impromptu drink [last name unknown]Gilles – owner of a Lisbon restaurant serving Cabo Verdean cuisine through a Portuguese lens; met during the same unplanned eveningCabo Verde / Cape Verdean cuisine – the culinary tradition of Gilles's restaurant; described as African food filtered through Portuguese flavoursGet in touch with Lee and Simon at info@midlifing.net. ---The Midlifing logo is adapted from an original image by H.L.I.T: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29311691@N05/8571921679 (CC BY 2.0)

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 291 The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of Laconi Saint Ignatius of Laconi's Story Ignatius of Laconi is another sainted begging brother. He was the second of seven children of peasant parents in Sardinia. His path to the Franciscans was unusual. During a serious illness, Ignatius vowed to become a Capuchin if he recovered. He regained his health but ignored the promise. When he was 20, a riding accident prompted Ignatius to renew the pledge, which he acted on the second time. Ignatius's reputation for self-denial and charity led to his appointment as the official beggar for the friars in Cagliari. He fulfilled that task for 40 years, despite being blind for the last two years. While on his rounds, Ignatius of Laconi would instruct the children, visit the sick, and urge sinners to repent. The people of Cagliari were inspired by his kindness and his faithfulness to his work. Ignatius was canonized in 1951. Reflection Why did the people of Cagliari support the friars? These followers of Saint Francis worked hard but rarely at jobs that paid enough to live on. The life of Ignatius of Laconi reminds us that everything God considers worthwhile does not have a high-paying salary attached to it.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In 1521 four men dominated Europe. They were all in their twenties: King Henry VIII of England, born 1491, King Francois I of France, born 1494, Suleiman the Magnificent, Ottoman Sultan, born that same year, 1494 and the youngest of them, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Spain, Sicily, Naples and Sardinia, lord of the Netherlands, duke of Austria and Count of Tyrol.How the world had changed. In the days of Charles' predecessor, the emperor Maximilian, European politics was a impenetrable maze of alliances and enmities involving roughly a dozen mid-sized powers trying to get a leg up on each other.Now we are down to four guys, dancing a political Ceilidh, all elegantly dressed, swiftly moving and swapping partners at every turn.In this episode we are going to look at the first rounds of Gay Gordons and Dashing White Sergeants up to the point where Charles V gets a lock on Francois I at the Battle of Pavia in 1525The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Sa Melabrina is a Downy Oak tree the size of a small church, draped in moss and ferns. Her ancient arms spread wide in the surrounding forest near Illorai, Sardinia. She's the oldest and largest of her kind in all of Europe. And she's been standing here in these mountains for nine centuries.What she symbolizes is even greater than her beauty.The town's mayor organized a remarkable conference drawing scientists, conservationists, and community leaders from across Sardinia and beyond, all united around a single idea: that Sardinia's ancient trees, its oldest living landmarks, could form a network worth protecting, visiting, and fighting for.There is something else at stake. Sardinia's small towns are quietly shrinking. Depopulation is hollowing out villages that have survived for millennia. Saving these old trees is vital, but Sardinia's leaders ask a new type of question:Can Sa Melabrina and Sardinia's monumental trees save its small towns?GuestsGianluca Grande, MayorIllorai, SardiniaDr. Gianluigi BacchettaProfessor, Department of Life and Environmental SciencesDirector, Centre for the Conservation of Biodiversity and Germplasm Bank of SardiniaUniversity of Cagliari, SardiniaPina MurasResident of Illorai, SardiniaCarlo PoddiArborist, Sassari, SardiniaReadings"Su Cherchu Pius Bellu" (The Most Beautiful Oak) by Ignazio Camarda - read by Fulgenzio Piras"The Sa Melabrina Oak" by Graziano NuddaQuote by T.S.

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent Lectionary: 248 The Saint of the day is Saint Salvator of Horta Saint Salvator of Horta's Story A reputation for holiness does have some drawbacks. Public recognition can be a nuisance at times—as the confreres of Salvator found out. Saint Salvator of Horta was born during Spain's Golden Age. Art, politics, and wealth were flourishing. So was religion. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus in 1540. Saint Salvator of Horta's parents were poor. At the age of 21, he entered the Franciscans as a brother and was soon known for his asceticism, humility, and simplicity. As cook, porter, and later the official beggar for the friars in Tortosa, he became well known for his charity. He healed the sick with the Sign of the Cross. When crowds of sick people began coming to the friary to see Salvator, the friars transferred him to Horta. Again, the sick flocked to ask his intercession; one person estimated that 2,000 people a week came to see Salvator. He told them to examine their consciences, go to confession, and to receive Holy Communion worthily. He refused to pray for those who would not receive those sacraments. The public attention given to Salvator was relentless. The crowds would sometimes tear off pieces of his habit as relics. Two years before his death, Salvator was moved again, this time to Cagliari on the island of Sardinia. He died at Cagliari saying, “Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.” He was canonized in 1938. The liturgical feast of Saint Salvator of Horta is celebrated on March 18. Reflection Medical science is now seeing more clearly the relation of some diseases to one's emotional and spiritual life. In Healing Life's Hurts, Matthew and Dennis Linn report that sometimes people experience relief from illness only when they have decided to forgive others. Salvator prayed that people might be healed, and many were. Surely not all diseases can be treated this way; medical help should not be abandoned. But notice that Salvator urged his petitioners to reestablish their priorities in life before they asked for healing. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Hear about travel to Sardinia as the Amateur Traveler talks to Shannon O'Brien from shannon-obrien.com about her visit to this island corner of Italy. Why should you go to Sardinia? Shannon says, "It's Italian, but it's a very different vibe as well from mainland Italy. There's insanely beautiful beaches. Some argue some of the most beautiful beaches of the world. The water is crystal blue; it looks like Windex. The white sand beaches. The interior of the island has these huge mountains that kind of bleed into the ocean. Winding coastal roads up and down both sides of the island with insane views. It exceeded my expectations for sure." Shannon's Recommended Sardinia Itinerary (West Coast Focus, 7–10 Days): Start: Cagliari (1–2 nights) Fly into Cagliari, Sardinia's capital. Explore the Castello district, including Saint Remy Bastion and Cagliari Cathedral. Wander cobblestone streets, historic fortifications, and viewpoints. Shannon recommends keeping this short; it's a gateway, not the main event. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-sardinia/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin this week in  1970's Sardinia, where a quiet, deeply devout teenage girl began to wake up every night at exactly 3:00 a.m., convinced something terrible was standing next to her bed… watching her… and waiting to enter her. Then we head to Christmas Day, 1929, when a well-liked North Carolina farmer committed the unspeakable. Has it spawned paranormal activity? Then we find ourselves visiting the same house, ten years apart, both times the home is for sale and empty... or is it? Lastly, a sweet, sad and comforting tale of a couple so deeply connected, not even death can keep them apart. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?
