What does it take to run the wine programme for eight restaurants inside one of Hong Kong's most storied hotel groups, and how do you earn a guest's trust for a US$600 pour of 1975 Petrus? We sat down inside Petrus itself, the flagship restaurant at Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, high above Pacific Place at the heart of the city's energy, to find out.We're joined by Cyrus Ho, hotel sommelier for the Shangri-La Group in Hong Kong, who oversees the wine programme across all eight of the group's restaurants, from Cantonese fine dining to Japanese, French and everything in between.Cyrus walks us through the week he spent doing nothing but refilling water glasses under his mentor's watch, the vintage mix-up that taught him never to skip showing a label, and the six-hour mountain drive into Yunnan that convinced him Chinese Chardonnay deserves serious attention.Expect back-vintage Petrus by the glass, a side career as a certified tea master, and a clear-eyed read on why the next generation isn't reaching for wine.

A Qmen Perspective with Kevin and Johnny Boy From Nature's Frequency to Future Tech: Heart-Led Connection, Disclosure and the World Ahead Summary Nature, Heart Space and Personal Renewal The episode opens with the hosts returning after time away from live broadcasting and reflecting on the restorative effect of nature. Johnny Boy describes a week near a lake, time in the forest, river tubing, wildlife, heat, and the therapeutic feeling of being immersed in a natural setting. The hosts connect that experience to their spiritual belief that nature helps people return to a calmer, heart-centered state. They also discuss a newly posted nature-themed meme on a website they follow, interpreting its message as encouragement to live in peace and neutrality. This theme of grounding, slowing down, and reconnecting with living things becomes a recurring foundation for the rest of the episode. Caller Reflections on Discernment and Connection Caller Sheila from Kansas joins the program and talks about learning to trust her own process while writing, navigating social media, and using friends as sounding boards. She describes recognizing her own filters and judgments and concludes that she needs to stay in her own lane while still being available to others. The conversation expands into ideas about biofields, interconnectedness, tree-root networks, intuitive knowing, and the hosts' belief that people can become more sensitive to subtle forms of communication. Sheila shares a story about identifying a summer tanager after the bird's name unexpectedly came to mind. The hosts use her experience to discuss discernment, intuition, community, and what they see as an increasing connection among people, animals, plants, and Source. Animals, Frequency and Expanding Awareness A second caller, Aero, continues the discussion of nature and communication by talking about deer, hummingbirds, plants, and the way animals seem increasingly comfortable around her. The group discusses the idea that humans may be relearning how to communicate with animals through calmness, respect, love, and heart-centered awareness. Aero also connects those experiences to the movie Disclosure Day and to her belief that animals may represent a more comfortable first step toward contact with unfamiliar beings. The hosts discuss military working dogs and horses, praising their loyalty and service and arguing that animals should share in any future healing advances available to humans. Throughout this portion, the speakers frame animals as sentient companions whose behavior and presence can help people become more attentive to frequency, emotion, and connection. Advanced Technology, Med Beds and Science-Fiction Parallels A major portion of the episode centers on claims and predictions about advanced technology. The hosts discuss Elon Musk's comments about robotics and surgery, then connect those ideas to their belief in med beds, artificial-intelligence doctors, instant-learning systems, teleportation, replicators, anti-gravity, and other technologies frequently portrayed in science fiction. Star Trek, Star Wars, The Matrix, and superhero stories are used as cultural reference points for imagining a future with less invasive medicine, abundant technology, and expanded human abilities. The hosts repeatedly describe technology as "training wheels" that could eventually teach humanity how to access spiritual or energetic abilities directly. Near the end, they devote substantial attention to med-bed claims involving rejuvenation, cellular repair, appearance changes, restored health, and even extraordinary claims about reversing death, while acknowledging that some of those claims are difficult to know with certainty. Politics, Hidden Networks and Financial Warfare Claims The episode also includes extensive discussion of political and geopolitical claims drawn from sources such as Kat Is The Sea, Q the Storm Rider, and Old Cowboy. The hosts repeat allegations involving hidden government operations, intelligence networks, media manipulation, human trafficking, shadow banking, the Bank for International Settlements, China, Iran, Spain, the Middle East, and powerful public figures. They discuss gold, gold-backed currency concepts, NESARA/GESARA, sanctions, financial pressure, and the idea that cutting off money can disable military or covert networks. They also speculate about national emergencies, election pauses, military deployment, emergency communications, and rapid political change, making clear through the conversational framing that these are beliefs, interpretations, and predictions they are following rather than independently established findings within the transcript. The hosts portray these developments as part of a larger struggle between forces they describe as light and dark. A Vision of Abundance, Disclosure and a New World The episode closes by bringing its many themes into a single future-oriented vision. The hosts imagine a world with less disease, less crime, greater abundance, new financial systems, advanced healing, expanded consciousness, and a deeper relationship with nature and other forms of life. They discuss Shangri-La as a symbol of earthly paradise and use that image to describe the kind of world they hope humanity is moving toward. The conversation also honors the U.S. Coast Guard and reflects on service, courage, and protection. Despite the program's many controversial and speculative claims, its closing emphasis is on love, grounding, calmness, service to others, spending less time on devices, and spending more time in nature. The final message encourages listeners to remain heart-centered, peaceful, aware, and hopeful about what the hosts believe may lie ahead.
MY HEART TOOK A LEAP - THE POETIC INNOCENCE OF THE SHANGRI-LAS" -RICH BUCKLAND'S EPIPHANY NOTEBOOKLike so many pre teens growing up in the sixites I slept with a transistor radio under my pillow. That receiver was the best friend a 12 year old could possibly have. It told me only what I wanted to hear and unlike the parental tunes regulary dispensed, I could slide the dial to another frequency and change the feel and tempo. 1964 was an extraordinary year for popular music and youthful urges. My wireless companion delivered the sound of pleading voices reciting urgent love calls through the night air. The first feminine intonations that whispered directly to my adolescent hunger ariived through The Supremes in June of that year. I would wait anxiously through the bedtime darkness to hear the DJ conduct another spin of the salvation revealed within a Diana Ross plea requesting an explanation to what would become the eternal question of "Where Did Our Love Go". I was fully captured by the gentle elocution each conflicted tone incited. She was conducting a sorrowful inquest, the meaning of which I was not experienced enough to comprehend and yet fully accepted. It felt like a sensual revolution emanating from the magic of a wireless, spiritual trasmission, but more importantly a glorious awakening having nothing to do with sexual messaging. It was my initiation into the significance of lonliness. And then it became more complex. In August of that same period, a group calling themselves The Shangri-las, dispatched a 45 revelations per second record titled "Remember (Walking In The Sand )" It ignited something dark and dramatic. This was my first migraine heartache and I understood the origin. It was the voice of Mary Weiss, the groups teen vocalist from Queens NY, the very borough I lived in. She was singing a story of such anguish, I just wanted to embrace her and make it better. "Oh, no, Oh no, Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Remember (Walking In The Sand)". The song and it's production were the child of a music business misfit named George "Shadow" Morton" But it was the urgent hurt of Mary Weiss that has lived within me going on 55 years. I recall ruminating, " If this is 12, what the hell will 13 be like." I began to find out when the next Shangri-las recording was released in December. The melancholy of "Remember" surrendered to another George Morton composition sung as only Mary and her partners could. It was called "Give Him A Great Big Kiss" and made me feel better about our fate and the abyss she had us both falling into only four months earlier. Teendom was just around my Queens, NY street corner. Hope and the sound of rock and roll transmitted by Murray The K, wrestled with the gusty winds which flowed beneath the Throgs Neck Bridge where my friends and I spent long summer days.In retrospect Mary Weiss was my first true infatuation. The emotions were real, especially for a kid who cried over Jackie Wilsons "Lonely Teardrops" at age 7. Rock and Rhythm and Blues produced awakenings and sensations with no age restrictions.After 4 marriages I still have similar questions posed by The Shangri-las and The Supremes . I owe a great debt to those remarkable women and their sacred voices. If we are fortunate, the eternal flame of yearning begs new understanding with each sunrise. Just give the one you love a Great Big Kiss and always Remember. Always.

Interview with Bob Bert drummer from Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, and Lydia Lunch! After seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show as an eight-year-old, he took drum lessons for one year at age twelve and learned enough to bang along to the Rolling Stones and garage-punk nuggets of the 60's (Cue up the Barbarians' "Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl"). Bob became desperate to get out of the hell of his Catholic grade school. “In my town, which was 11 miles outside New York City, we had two types of kids, the rah rahs (jocks) and the hoods (greasers). The hoods were mainly in the public school, and I gravitated towards the hoods mainly for the style; black leather jackets and girls that looked like the Shangri-Las and the Ronettes. I told my mom I would drop out if she didn't take me out of Catholic School!” One day Bob got called out of class by the principal who slapped his face back and forth saying "why would you ever want to go to public school?!”. (cue up "Mississippi Queen,” Quaalude Interlude", and "Oink Oink"). In high school Bob drifted away from drumming and headed towards Pop Art, Andy Warhol being a big influence. He got into Glam Rock hitting the NYC clubs to see the New York Dolls, Harlots of 42nd Street, Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys etc. He discovered CBGBs in 1975, when he wandered into a Television / Patti Smith double bill. He took classes at SVA and learned how to silk screen. He moved into Manhattan in 1978 and became a fine art silkscreen printer, eventually working for Warhol up until his death. (Cue up the Velvet Underground's " Foggy Notion" and the Modern Lovers' "Pablo Picasso"). In 1979, Bert saw an ad in the Village Voice soliciting “Punk Rock art,” submitted a piece which was accepted for a group show at the Nonson Gallery on Wooster Street, much to his delight. The opening was a gas, the whole downtown scene was in full effect. Joey Ramone's piece was a toothbrush with red paint on it glued to the ceiling entitled "Bloody Gums.” Daniel Rey's Shrapnel performed in the back and someone drove a motorcycle through the front door! It was at Nonson that Bob met artist Linda Wolfe. In 1981, Bob and Linda moved to Hoboken, living a block away from the famed club, Maxwell's where Bob would spend half of his life seeing great shows and making tons of friends. In 1981 while hanging at a different club, he got up on stage making a racket with Peter Missing and Jeff Holiday (RIP). “We became the band Drunk Driving causing trouble most of the time we played. We were banned from Maxwells after Peter put his upside-down martini glass graffitti, which he became well known for when he formed his next band Missing Foundation, on the newly painted wall.” After about seven months, Bert saw a flier that Sonic Youth needed a drummer. Bob took the flyer which he still has and joined in 1982. As it turns out he was the only one to call. After his tenure with them, he joined Pussy Galore, staying with them from the mid-80's through the end of the decade. Bob's new album bob-bert

America 250 week kicked off with Joey and Nancy talking about the country's 250th birthday and reflecting on some surprising moments from early American history. Nancy also confessed to accidentally running over a squirrel while driving the WIVK truck to a Community Crew event at Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding. The crew recapped volunteering at Shangri-La, where they helped with chores around the property. Joey and Marvin ended up cleaning horse pens with pitchforks while others opted for less messy jobs like pulling weeds. Joey shared an update on his son's garden after they harvested their first homegrown cucumbers. The conversation turned into a preview of the upcoming Southern Life Expo, including Kid Boss booths, local vendors, food, and Christmas in July activities. Scrolling Through TikTok featured a grandmother who went viral for removing towels from pool chairs that vacationers were using to reserve spots hours before actually showing up. Joey and Nancy both agreed that if you're not at the pool, you shouldn't be saving chairs. Hot Tea included Alan Jackson's farewell concert in Nashville featuring appearances from George Strait, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, and video tributes from Reba, Ella Langley, and Taylor Swift. They also discussed rumors surrounding a possible Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding and Bunny XO joking that being married to Jelly Roll was like serving a ten-year prison sentence. Nancy shared a dream-inspired invention: smart glasses that would recognize people and remind you how you know them before they walk up and start talking to you. A discussion about the upcoming America 250 celebration led Joey into sharing some fascinating Revolutionary War history he learned from a documentary, including why he unexpectedly found himself feeling a little sympathy for the British perspective. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Producer Karly gave a full recap of her speed dating experience from the weekend. While she didn't find a romantic connection, she met some interesting people, made a few new friends, and concluded that confidence goes a long way in that environment. Let the Beat Drop took a patriotic turn as Joey, Nancy, and Karly attempted to sing the National Anthem while staying on beat after the music dropped out. Joey shared an emotional father-son milestone after helping his 12-year-old shave his mustache for the first time. The shaving session came after Joey and his wife unintentionally made their son feel self-conscious about it. Patriot Games gave away VIP tickets to Patriot Fest in Pigeon Forge. After several listeners struggled, one caller successfully sang the first verse of "Yankee Doodle" to win front-row seats for Carly Pearce and Parmalee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Washington is engaging plenty with its Indo-Pacific allies these days … just not always on the things they want, and too often on things they don't. So how do savvy allies steer that relationship when the world's most powerful partner feels less predictable than ever?To find out, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Marise Payne, Australia's former Defence Minister and Foreign Minister. Marise helped launch AUKUS and grow the Quad, and navigated the first Trump administration from both chairs. Now a distinguished visiting fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, Payne brings rare insider perspective on how middle powers keep America engaged and what they must build for themselves when it drifts.In a wide-ranging conversation, Payne unpacks:Why "fewer Shangri-Las, more submarines" sets up a false choice, and why showing up still mattersThe AUKUS reality check: what the shift from the "optimal pathway" means, and the social license challenge facing CanberraWhether Pillar One is now on a "suboptimal pathway," and the case for driving Pillar Two harderHow the Quad found its feet again after COVID, and why the New Delhi foreign ministers' meeting mattersReassuring a skeptical ASEAN on nuclear submarines, and the relationship-first diplomacy that made it workChina's "do as I say, not as I do" stance on Japan's remilitarizationThe contrast between leading Defence and Foreign Affairs: "straight lines" versus "grasping at wisps of smoke"It's a practitioner's masterclass in alliance management for an era of strategic uncertainty.

Imperial Science, the Organic Movement and the Path to Shangri La, 1900-1969 (UCL Press, 2026) is a global history project that examines the diffusion of scientific and environmental discourses from India to Britain and the US. Ashok Malhotra examines how imperial agendas and colonial stereotyping shaped dietary and agricultural research carried out in the 1920s in British India, from soil protection initiatives to studies of diet and healthy living. It also discusses how a selective interpretation of this research, which focused on the supposed vigor of one community, the Hunzas, influenced the organic and lifestyles movements that later emerged in Britain and the US from the 1940s to the 1960s. Ashok Malhotra is a senior lecturer in British imperial history at Queen's University Belfast. Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen's University Belfast.

Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC joins Darren to catch up on something besides Iran and the (still-closed) Strait of Hormuz. The conversation begins with the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where Stephen was on the ground. They discuss the mood in the room, the relative absence of Iran from the public discussion despite its obvious relevance to maritime security, and the broader regional anxiety about escalation, sea lanes, chokepoints, ports, subsea cables and the physical infrastructure that underpins the Indo-Pacific order. They also examine Vietnamese President Tô Lâm's keynote speech, Pete Hegseth's address on US engagement in Asia, and the significance of China again not sending its defence minister. The conversation then turns to DPM Richard Marles' Shangri-La speech and its focus on subsea cables and maritime infrastructure. Darren sees a reframing of the “rules-based order” towards a physical system that must be monitored, protected and defended. They also discuss the AUKUS announcements made in Singapore, including the Pillar II underwater drone project and the shift in Australia's planned Virginia-class submarine acquisition from a mix of new and used boats to three in-service submarines.

Imperial Science, the Organic Movement and the Path to Shangri La, 1900-1969 (UCL Press, 2026) is a global history project that examines the diffusion of scientific and environmental discourses from India to Britain and the US. Ashok Malhotra examines how imperial agendas and colonial stereotyping shaped dietary and agricultural research carried out in the 1920s in British India, from soil protection initiatives to studies of diet and healthy living. It also discusses how a selective interpretation of this research, which focused on the supposed vigor of one community, the Hunzas, influenced the organic and lifestyles movements that later emerged in Britain and the US from the 1940s to the 1960s.

The government is now going after regular people who oppose data centers and are calling it "anti-tech extremist violence.” Congress's anti-China conspiracy theory about data center opposition in the US is a very real farce. Bernie Sanders is in the New York Times with a new proposal to seize the means of A.I. production, sort of. New Zealand is allowing itself to fall into a militarist trap of its own making--what's at stake in the debate about New Zealand military spending and its anti-nuclear stance. Pete Hegseth's speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue confirms one thing: The US is still pursuing global primacy, only under conditions where it's neither possible nor justified, and that means violence. What makes opposition to A.I. data centers a strategically useful site for both people-power struggles and state repression. And the U.S. has illegally killed more than 200 people in over 60 strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific--that's what the Monroe Doctrine looks like. #podcast #geopolitics #datacenter #currentaffairs Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions
Donald Trump loses his patience with Benjamin Netanyahu over Lebanon, while the Israeli prime minister hints at an even bigger endgame in Gaza. Is a new Middle East deal within reach, or the region's latest escalation heading to another full conflict? Plus, a surprise AUKUS announcement on the sidelines of the Shangri-La dialogue and how an iconic Italian artwork is hanging in there.
Today, John, Amy, Algene, and Andy break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, where he outlined the administration's strategy for the Indo-Pacific. Hegseth struck a softer tone than last year, framing U.S. alliances around shared interests rather than shared values, emphasizing hard power deterrence along the island chain, and calling for greater burden sharing among partners, while declining to mention Taiwan by name. Does the speech signal a potentially dramatic shift in how Washington approaches Beijing, with some analysts warning it cedes significant ground after years of a tougher posture?Does reframing alliances around interests rather than values weaken the credibility of U.S. commitments in the region? Is Japan's nascent domestic intelligence agency an indication that the burden-sharing message is landing with partners? With a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan reportedly being used as a bargaining chip with Xi, what does Hegseth's emphasis on hard power and ally burden sharing fall flat?

La nueva obra de este maestro de la BD contemporánea nos transporta, una vez más, a un futuro devastado, donde la desaparición de las abejas ha llevado a la Tierra al borde del colapso. La historia sigue a una exploradora que recorre este mundo arrasado en una misión constante por preservar el legado del pasado y asegurar el futuro de las nuevas generaciones. Pero Silent Jenny es mucho más que un relato de ciencia ficción postapocalíptica: es también una obra cargada de filosofía y existencialismo, que invita a reflexionar sobre la memoria, la supervivencia y el sentido de la humanidad. Un trabajo sobresaliente que, además, fue reconocido como Mejor Cómic Europeo en los Premios Liefeld 2025.

¿Se puede jugar cuando el mundo se está cayendo? Quizás no sólo se pueda sino que debamos usar el juego como herramienta para la reflexión, la lucha y el cambio…Así lo defiende nuestro invitado, el académico Miguel Sicart, autor del ensayo Jugar en el fin del mundo, publicado en la colección ‘Ludografías’ de la editorial Shangrila, para reflexionar sobre la naturaleza y el papel del juego en nuestra cultura, tanto durante como después de las catástrofes climáticas y energéticas que estamos experimentando.Un canto de amor al juego y a su legado cultural como una herramienta para vivir más allá de la supervivencia. Porque -como dice Sicart- “jugar es, al fin y al cabo, vivir más”. Con Don Víctor desde el Planeta Segovia hablamos de apocalipsis y cómics.Escuchar audio

Nikki Corvette in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.facebook.com/nikki.corvette/ This Detroit punk-pop outfit – formed in 1977 – was led by the Nikki Corvette and guitarist Peter James. They had a sound somewhere between The Go-Go's and The Ramones, with bubblegum teenage libido maxed out with a dose of The Shangri La's. Led by a “new wave Betty Boop,” to quote one review, this group offered great sounds and sex appeal. Combining those undeniable elements of energy and enthusiasm. The group disbanded in 1981, though Nikki returned in the 21st century as Nikki Corvette & The Stingrays – a band incorporating Travis Ramin on guitar, Georgia Peach on bass and Johnny O'Halloran on drums.

Episode 500 of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. My guest is Jamie Hanshaw Dyer — author, researcher, and the person I called when I finally opened the book I'd been avoiding for three years. The book is "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic andPolitics in Tibetan Buddhism" by Victor and Victoria Trimondi. Itis six hundred pages long. A physical copy costs around six hundreddollars. Almost no one in the English-speaking world has read it.In this conversation, Jamie and I walk through what it says. This is not a comfortable conversation. It is, I think, a necessaryone.
