We welcome a prolific artist from behind the drum kit who's been at this for over 20 years, artist Ali Richardson from Scotland-based heavy metal band Bleed From Within. Being the drummer and the band manager can be a tough gig, but Ali has remained headstrong throughout his career and it has paid dividends for himself and his bandmates. Whether it's with BFW or Sylosis, Ali has quickly cemented himself as one of the more diverse drummers in the genre. We also speak with him about the new album “Shrine,” and how this 6th album from these melodic death metallers serves as a representation of everything they've been through to stand where they are today. Staying true to their genre can be a tricky thing, but Bleed From Within have not only done that, but have also evolved sonically as they continue to build their fanbase. Their last album, “Fracture,” was released during the pandemic year of 2020, and was a huge success; Now with a new album in their hands, getting the opportunity to present this two-headed monster in the live setting is something that Ali is thankful for. Turn up the volume, because there's plenty of headbanging to around as Bleed From Within are set to take on the world by storm with mosh pits and cheers – and tune in to our interview with Ali Richardson and be sure to buy and stream the new album “Shrine,” out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.Stay connected with Bleed From Within, visit: https://www.bleedfromwithin.com/, https://www.facebook.com/bleedfromwithinband and https://www.instagram.com/bleedfromwithin/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

Join Annie and Jenny deep in the Cairngorms, as they climb Ben Avon, but the summit isn't the goal, instead, they take a detour to an astounding rock formation called Clach Bhan, or in English, the Women's Stone. This rock formation overlooks the surrounding glens, and has been a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of years. Pregnant women from miles around would undertake an arduous trek to this point and ask the stone for a safe childbirth. But why this stone, three-quarters of the way up a mountain? What caused it to be here? Why are there numerous bowl-shaped holes, perfect for sitting? And most importantly, what drew women to this spot, in search of solace and safety?

This week, Beer Sessions Radio welcomes two homeschooled brewers — Jeff Lyons from Endless Life Brewing in Brooklyn, and Jaega Wise from Wild Card Brewery in East London, who also happens to be the author of “Wild Brews.” The gang will bang out lessons on homebrewing and sour beers, before revealing the secrets to the water section of Jaega's latest book. The episode starts with Jaega's and Jeff's introduction to the homebrewing world as well as their backgrounds outside of the beer industry. While Jaega grew up in the Midland region in UK, noted for Burton-on-Trent, with a CAMRA beer festival as her first, Jeff hung out with the Beer Judge Certification Program gang in the back room of Jimmy's No. 43. Jaega also shared her unexpectedly perfect journey to beerdom, studying chemical engineering and going to water school for her previous job in water treatment. She went on to explain the keys to controlling what she considers the most underappreciated ingredient in brewing — water. The gang then goes deeper into sour beer and the history of homebrewing, with Jimmy admitting to only being able to make “the no hygiene beer” inspired by the Victorian era's Tudor. They also discuss the revival of cask beers along with the brewing scene in London, with a tiny surprise about water in Scotland and whisky distilling. Grab your headset and listen in on the secrets right now!Photo Courtesy of Jaega Wise.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Episode 98: Mary Speir Gunn.This week Joannagh brings us a mystery dating all the way back to 1913, the case of Mary Speir Gunn.We hear how, in October 1913, Mary and her family were relaxing in their secluded cottage home when suddenly a hail of bullets tore through the room, hitting all members of the family, Mary fatally so.We hear how, despite some conclusions being drawn from evidence at the scene, the lack of strong forensics at the time meant a degree of guesswork was involved in the investigation.Joannagh describes the leads that were ultimately followed in the case, some stretching as far as Saskatchewan, Canada, as well as some of the more imaginative theories put forward by investigators at the time.

In Which Murderer's Episode 2 Season 5 the girls take a listener suggestion and cover Bus Driver Murders. Mel starts you off with the story of Darren Vickers before Holly tells you about Keith Bettison.Shoutouts to Jim who suggested this week's topic and took Holly's flagrant competitive challenging with grace (turns out she is not the F1 driver she thought), Cheryl for some good sleep advice and Carrie for telling Mel she said a super challenging medical word correctly. A special shoutout to Kristy - and of course Kirsty by accident - for joining a very special club. Sorry Murder Twins - you know the deal. In the first recording session post hen-do Holly starts this episode begging for Consulting Producer Craig, we learn the girls have made a pyjama pact until they die, Mel only communicates with the Alexa device through screams, the girls are experts on German names and Mel misses the entire point of the podcast when it comes time to debate. Production, recording and post production completed by Holly who had lunch with Consulting Producer Craig and Gemma last week in which she may or may not have slipped some crime scene evidence into his pockets in order to frame him and get him locked up so he is forced to do her editing out of boredom. It's a 10 step plan. Holly edited this week. All complaints should be sent directly to Mel while Consulting Producer Craig tries to figure out why he has a salt shaker from the restaurant in his pocket.

The government doesn't understand labour shortages in food and farming, and is putting the future of the sector in danger, according to MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs committee who wrote a report on the issues earlier this year. The government has just published its response – rejecting their calls for the Seasonal Workers Scheme to be made permanent, and for the English language requirement for skilled workers in the sector to be lowered. Ministers say they've worked closely with industry to respond to labour shortages, pointing to the extra 10,000 visas added to the seasonal worker scheme this year and the plan for an independent review of labour in food and farming. Conservationists in Scotland are warning that the current bird flu outbreak could drive a seabird species into extinction in the country. The government has already launched a consortium of experts to tackle this, the largest and longest-running bird flu outbreak.  But it could come too late for Great Skua's on St Kilda, a series of remote islands off the Scottish mainland. A hundred have been found dead this season, with numbers thought to be down around two thirds over the past three years. Dairy Crest has been fined one and a half million pounds after admitting a host of pollution and odour charges. The company, which produces cathedral city cheese and country life butter, admitted 21 pollution incidents at its Davidstow creamery in Cornwall between 2016 and 2021, two of which killed fish in a local river.

Nicknamed mountain blackbirds, ring ouzels have become a rare sight in Scotland. The migrating species has seen a huge population decline in recent decades, mostly due to habitat loss. However, Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve is an outpost for population recovery, thanks to long-term conservation efforts. Our host Jackie Bird heads to Ben Lawers to meet Andrew Warwick, the site's ranger, in search of these elusive mountain birds. As they scan the skies for ouzels, they discuss the pioneering conservation work that has helped to reverse habitat decline and offers new hope for the future. Meanwhile, we also join Andrew Painting at Mar Lodge Estate to search for another vulnerable species, the dotterel, amongst other mountain birds.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, in the first half of the 19th century, great progress was being made in the field of anatomy.

In October 1982 Helen's parents and her three young children had driven up to visit the relatives in the north of Scotland, a relatively run of the mill journey taken countless times over the years.

Railway stations across England, Scotland and Wales have been deserted as services have been largely brought to a halt by the first of three days of strike action this week

Only 20% of trains across England, Scotland and Wales are running as the RMT union strike for three days over job cuts, pay and pensions. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has said commuters must "stay the course" and urged rail bosses and unions to agree a deal. The BBC's Rowan Bridge gives us an update from Manchester Piccadilly station in the north west of England. And it's not just the UK. Yesterday, public sector health workers and teachers walked out over pay in Zimbabwe. There was also a nation-wide strike by trade unions in Belgium. Emeritus professor of economics at Ottowa University, Mario Seccareccia, explains. The Hungarian government is subsidising fuel to around $1.25 a litre. But the policy triggered a wave of fuel tourism, as drivers from neighbouring countries crossed the border to fill up their cars more cheaply. The government has said cheaper fuel would only be available to Hungarian-registered cars, something the EU says is discriminatory and could land Hungary in court. Gabor Egri, President of the Independent Petrol Station Association of Hungary, tells us how petrol station owners are reacting. India has been firefighting a diplomatic row with Arab countries because of derogatory remarks made by the spokesperson of the ruling Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, about the Prophet Muhammad. Following strong objections and protests in these countries the spokesperson has now been suspended. The BBC's Devina Gupta tells us how much this has impacted India's relations with the Gulf countries, where it does trade worth billions of dollars. A gigantic cruise ship being built in Germany could be sold for scrap metal before it ever sets sail. We find out more from Captain Ken Caine of shipbrokers QPS Marine Ships in Florida. A new book called "The No Club" explains how doing the jobs which keep managers happy day-to-day, can actually hold you back in your career. The BBC's Leanna Byrne spoke to the book's four authors: Professors Linda Babcock, Lise Vesterlund, Brenda Peyser and Laurie Weingart.

We have the privilege today of speaking with the one and only, Impala! Today we begin the show with some wonderful English idioms as we learn about Impala. We chat about being born in the UK and his father's influence on him as a travelling man. We dive deeper into the backstory of his relationship with his father, and how the artist's mind is one of wonder and wander. We get sucked deep into a conversation around the UK's National Trails. We chat about the similarities and differences of hiking in the US Vs. hiking in the UK. We chat about "stealth camping" and the infrastructure of the trails in England and Scotland. We chat about the lengths of the UK's National Trails and the possibility of hiking all of them (if desired) in a single hiking season. We chat about Impala's route that he has called the "Mighty Blighty." A trail system that is still being officially created called the English Coast Path, with a special extra twist, as Impala hopes to connect all his footsteps, and the only way to do that is, continue across through Scotland to rejoin the English coast on the other side. We talk trail conditions, and the burden that flat miles can put on one's body. Sometimes surprisingly consistent days of flat terrain hurt the body more, than climbing and descending. We chat about how Impala navigates a yet to be completed trail, and how if the ocean remains on his left hand side, it should be fine! We chat about trail community and what one does when there are not many hikers around. We chat about Impala's first thru-hike on the Te Araroa and what seed was planted along this hike in his brain to continue to pursue hiking year after year. We talk about the connection and disconnection of living a nomadic life and we chat about how Impala manages his Off Trail time. We talk about the pros and cons of Instagram, we chat about being home while on trail, and we chat about never being bored in this lifestyle. We chat about being an "addict" for trail, we chat about mind games to hold onto sanity while hiking canals, we chat about becoming the most renowned and professional tiddlywinks player in the UK, we chat about bonds formed from only a few days of hiking together and the strength they can create, we chat about Meander, we chat about spirituality and being connected to the world around you, we chat about "doing miles, and making smiles", we chat about how saying hi to people can become a wonderfully entertaining and even enlightening game, and much more. Honestly, one of our favorite chats, as throughout this episode, you can really and truly feel who Impala is, and feel the kindness in his thoughts and words. Truly a wonderful chat with Impala, thank you for sharing some time and your story with us! FAVORITE QUOTES: "If I got my pack on, I know everything is going to be alright." "When you spend more time outside, you become more in tune with everything." "If everyone went backpacking the world would be a better place." "I am a professional tiddlywinks player." "I just became a complete addict [referring to hiking]" To learn more about Impala click below: Website: ImpalaOnTrail.com Instagram: ImpalaOnTrail YouTube: ImpalaOnTrail To learn more about us click below: Website: www.ElevenSkys.com

It all started with a pizza in Scotland... Not what you'd expect to kick off an authentic Italian restaurant, but that was Wayne Sieve's first introduction to Neapolitan-style pizza. That first taste set off a passion project that would eventually lead to a food truck, and then a restaurant where people often drive well over an hour to get a table. Noto Pizza is located in St. Peters, in what used to be J Noto Bakery. That's where Kendele Sieve grew up. She recalls getting home from school, finishing homework and heading to the bakery to help her dad bake cookies. She always knew she'd follow in his food footsteps, but it wasn't until her husband Wayne started diving deep into the world of Neapolitan pizza that they realized the future looked different than she'd imagined. The couple opened the doors in 2019 – just before everything shut down. But not only have they weathered the pandemic, they've thrived, and soon they expect to be the only certified authentic Neapolitan pizza in the region. We learn all about what that means, how their oven shipped straight from Italy is helping them earn that title, and what the future holds for them.

When a person with severe anorexia nervosa refuses food, the very treatment they need to survive, is that refusal carefully considered and rational, as it can appear to those around them? Or is it really the illness that's causing them to say ‘no'? This is one of the thorny ethical dilemmas that Jacinta Tan has wrestled with over the course of her career. She is deeply curious about the mind, and has spent hundreds of hours sitting with people with anorexia nervosa, not persuading them to eat, rather listening to them talk about what's going on in their minds and how the illness influences their decisions. These rich internal worlds, that she has revealed, shape her work as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, where she treats people with eating disorders. The views of those with the conditon and their families have been central to the recent government reviews of the Eating Disorder Services that she led in Scotland and Wales. These conditions can be hugely challenging to treat. Jacinta Tan tells Jim Al-Khalili how it's the art of medicine, as much as the science, that helps people recover. Producer: Beth Eastwood
