We discuss GB Energy's offshore wind investment and its Aberdeen jobs downgrade, as well as Ithaca's latest North Sea farm in as it forms yet another partnership with Shell. This week's episode features Energy Voice's Ryan Duff, Michael Behr, and Erikka Askeland as they give their two cents on the week's headlines. Before the trio dive into the main topics of this week's show, they draw attention to the sad news of a death in the North Sea. It was confirmed this week that 32-year-old Aberdeen-based father Lee Hulse died after falling from a crane on the Valaris 121 rig on Shell's Shearwater field. There has been a GoFundMe set up to support Lee's family, which you can find here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/lee-hulse?lang=en_GB&fbclid=IwY2xjawOG7ZNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETA1UHBLbVRaSWNGR0l4WVhPc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MghjYWxsc2l0ZQEyAAEerr0jbc2399ClT0_FUVuPIixXEB4NZ3af1EZPMtK-4KBBkrxE6YouHgNDNkY_aem__AzvLwuuduNxZUOT79I1Pg First up on this week's show, Michael discusses GB Energy's £150 investment in the 100 MW Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm. This marked the state-backed firm's first investment in offshore energy, however, has it been ambitious enough in its choice of project? This announcement came as CEO Dan McGrail announced his firm will create 300 jobs in Aberdeen by 2030, a considerable downgrade from the 1,000 previously promised. Next, Michael heads down to Teesside to the CATS Terminal, where he speaks with Kellas Midstream asset support engineer Harry Ford about his work at the site and the opportunities in the energy industry across Teesside. Finally, what's the story in Tobermory, Erikka lets us know! Ithaca has farmed into Shell's West of Shetland gas field a couple of years after the London supermajor backed out of Ithaca's Cambo project. This comes as Shell looks to form a UK-based independent joint venture with Equinor, which may cause a reassessment on Cambo.

My Professional Horse Trainer Certificate Course is now open for 2026 and there is a scholarship place available with applications closing at the end of November.https://courses.understandhorses.com/courses/professional-horse-trainer-certificateIn this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Nicky Ross, an equine behaviourist with over 20 years of experience. Nicky specialises in exploring and nurturing the horse–human relationship and teaches equine behaviour both online and at home in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, where she lives alongside her herd of Shetland ponies. Her recent case study, published with CABI, explores how developing agency and giving horses the ability to make meaningful choices, can enhance the bond between horses and humans. Through her “Pony Adventure Walks,” Nicky invites her ponies to choose whether to take part, which route to follow, and even which person they'd like to accompany.Nicky's work challenges us to reimagine what partnership with horses can look like when we truly listen to their voices.Find Nicky in all these places:www.horseplayhighlands.com https://www.facebook.com/horseplayhighlands/ https://www.instagram.com/horseplayhighlands/ https://www.youtube.com/@horseplayhighlands https://www.tiktok.com/@horseplayhighlandshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicky-ross-950730326/

This week on Organic Matters, we meet cattle and sheep farmer Tom Keane, located on the banks of the Shannon estuary, Co. Limerick. Tom, along with his brother Michael, has been championing native breeds and conservation grazing, and he speaks about how they complement his organic farm. Tom talks about his native Irish Droimeann breeds and how his farming system supports animal health and nature protection. He also keeps Galway pedigree sheep as well as Shropshire and Shetland breeds, with the wool fully utilised for bespoke products. The farm is located in a protected area and part of the Great Grassland Trails of Ireland, and Tom touches on the range of birdlife and wild plants, such as the bee orchid and hairy violet, present on his limestone grasslands.

First stop of the new series is Oakham, nestled in the UK's smallest county – Rutland.Rutland has a village that's proudly twinned with Paris (even if the Parisians don't know), has Europe's largest man-made lake (which required flooding a local village) and hangs its horseshoes the other way round (so the devil falls out, obviously).Joining Mark is Clare Balding, who's also in town to take him on a ramble around Rutland, which you can hear in Ramblings, this Thursday on Radio 4.This is the 14th series of Mark's award winning show where he travels around the country visiting towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness. After thoroughly researching each town, Mark writes and performs a bespoke evening of comedy for a local audience. As well as Oakham, in this series, Mark be will also be popping to Wrexham, Cambridge, Lewisham and, Lerwick and Unst in Shetland.To hear more episodes from this series, search "Mark Steel's In Town" on BBC Sounds.Written and performed by Mark SteelAdditional material by Pete Sinclair Production co-ordinator Caroline Barlow and Katie Baum Sound Manager Jerry Peal Producer Carl CooperA BBC Studios production for Radio 4

A windswept island garden, a storm‑proof polycrub, and a no‑dig mindset that turns soil into a living engine—this conversation with Lovely Greens' Tanya Anderson is a masterclass in practical, organic resilience. We head to the Isle of Man to unpack how climate shapes design, why keeping crops low beats the wind, and how a Shetland‑born polycrub unlocks peppers and aubergines where summer heat rarely arrives. Along the way, we explore wood chip paths that become compost, perennial borders that anchor slopes and shelter life, and the subtle art of knowing when to trust predators and when to step in.Tanya's story begins with a simple blog that grew into a thriving platform for organic gardening, DIY garden projects, and creative plant use. We talk about soil health in plain terms—compost as structure and nutrition, comfrey and nettle teas as slow power, and fungi as partners rather than mysteries. No‑dig gets an honest appraisal: fewer weeds if your margins are tight, more seedlings if you embrace wildflowers, and a real conversation about the cost and sourcing of compost. It's not dogma; it's a flexible system you adapt to your site, your back, and your goals.We also dive into the hard bit: New Zealand flatworm. If you garden in wet, cool climates, this pest can erase your earthworms and tip the food web off balance. Tanya shares how she traps during breeding windows, protects undisturbed, mulched zones for worms, and keeps an eye on alternatives like biochar barriers—all while building an ecosystem that can recover. The joy returns with perennials like Taunton Deane kale, Welsh onions, artichokes, and yacón, plus the creativity of turning calendula and chamomile into gentle soap and skincare. That loop—grow, use, and give back—runs through her book A Woman's Garden and her soap‑making courses.If you're curious about resilient organic gardening, storm‑smart structures, and making more from what you grow, you'll feel right at home here.

All the wool is a vlog  all about handspinning yarn, processing wool, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.To watch this episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/ureiskHa8sEI hope you like Shetland wool because that is our wool for the week. We start outside as I pull some wool that has been cold soaking overnight. Then off to the mill to wash wool, pick it and then we head to the carder with some natural white Shetland wool.

We discuss some major West of Shetland updates and the Labour Party conference, while the World Bank offers its two cents on flaring. This week features Energy Voice's Ryan Duff, Mathew Perry, and Floyd March. Kicking things off, Ryan discusses Serica's takeover of the Lancaster field, the Greater Laggan Area (GLA) and the Shetland Gas Plant. This £19 million deal sees the firm deliver on its merger and acquisition (M&A) ambitions at a bargain price. On the same morning as news broke about the UK's latest M&A deal, Shell announced that it had kicked off production at Victory, which utilises GLA infrastructure. We'd be remiss to not mention Equinor resubmitting the environmental impact assessment for Rosebank, something Mat gave us all the details about. Long story short, it's all kicking off in the West of Shetland region. Next up, our editor Mark Selby spoke with Zubin Bamji, manager for the World Bank's Global Flaring & Methane Reduction (GFMR) Partnership. The pair discussed the World Bank's progress to date in tackling the underlying issues around flaring and the likelihood of hitting the 2030 target while on the show floor of Milan's Gastech conference. Finally, Floyd gets us caught up with all things energy from the Labour Party conference, however, it appears Keir Starmer was more interested in fighting the growing support for Reform. That being said, a fracking ban was announced by Ed Miliband, something that is sure to rile up Farage.

Paolo Morganti, Stefania Conte"La porta dell'inganno"Morganti Editorehttps://www.morgantieditori.it/prodotto/paolo-morganti-%C2%B7-stefania-conte-la-porta-dellinganno/La Porta dell'inganno è il primo titolo di una saga di genere fantasy-storico.Siamo nel XXI secolo. All'interno della basilica di San Pietro in Roma entrano nel mondo, da una porta sino a quel momento sconosciuta, alcune creature straordinarie. Da cinque secoli vivevano relegate nel Mondo della Fantasia.Lo scisma fra la realtà e la fantasia era stato deciso nel 1563 dal Concilio di Trento: attraverso un potente rito d'esorcismo e con la costruzione di una pesante porta di marmo, commissionata da papa Pio IV a Michelangelo Buonarroti, la Chiesa aveva separato i due mondi e i relativi abitanti.In contemporanea all'apertura della porta in Vaticano, in diverse parti del pianeta se ne spalancano altre undici, di fatto varchi spazio-temporali.L'umanità è impaurita alla vista del basilisco, degli orchi, delle streghe, dei lupi mannari, degli elfi, dei folletti, del minotauro e di altri esseri favolosi apparsi dal nulla.Chi custodisce il segreto della Porta dell'inganno è il Vaticano, nelle figure del Papa, del Maestro delle Celebrazioni Liturgiche e del Prefetto del Dicastero per la Dottrina della Fede. Costoro, preoccupati che le apparizioni possano minare il potere della Chiesa, danno vita a una task force formata da suor Ildegarda Nicoli, dal fisico Enrico Masini, dallo sciamano Orazio Ballerini e dal colonnello Leonardo Von Brunegg.I quattro attraversano la Porta per sventare il pericolo che il mondo degli uomini possa essere invaso da esseri non più graditi. Nessuno di loro, però, è preparato a confrontarsi con le creature straordinarie, protette dal misterioso Maestro.Paolo Morganti è uno scrittore poliedrico. Nato a Milano, ha vissuto per molti anni a Verona e a Treviso. Oggi vive in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Ha cominciato la sua carriera letteraria come traduttore – per la collana Chestertoniana – delle opere di narrativa dello scrittore inglese Gilbert Keith Chesterton, di cui ha tradotto Il candore di padre Brown, La saggezza di padre Brown, L'incredulità di padre Brown, La sfera e la croce, Il ritorno di Don Chisciotte e Uomovivo, cui seguiranno altri titoli in fase di traduzione.A questi sono seguiti molti romanzi.Il suo primo lavoro, una sorta di divertimento letterario, è stato Angeli e salami (2009), parodia del celebre Angeli e demoni di Dan Brown. La sua serie più conosciuta è quella che vede come protagonisti lo speziale Martino da Madrisio e il pievano pre' Michele Soravito, che nel Cinquecento indagano tra delitti e misteri. Della fortunata saga sono finora usciti Il giardino del benandante (2012), Il calice di san Giovanni (2013), Il sigillo della strega (2014), Il bosco del cervo bianco (2015), L'ira dell'alchimista (2015), L'eretica (2018) e Il baratro delle anime (2019). Nel 2024 uscirà il titolo successivo, L'esercito delle ombre.Ai due personaggi sono dedicati anche due spin-off: Le memorie di pre' Michele, facezie e ricette di un prete goloso (2014) e Il taccuino di Martino da Madrìsio, memorie e ricette di uno speziale (2015).Due i romanzi gialli paranormali con protagonista il cuoco Paolo Lanfranchi, che risolve misteri paranormali avvenuti in Carnia: Le forme del Male (2016) e Il trillo del Diavolo (2018). Nel 2024 uscirà il seguito, intitolato La testa del serpente.Due i romanzi dedicati da Morganti al suo cane, L'imprescindibile Piero – la fuga (2016) e L'introvabile Piero – il rapimento (2017).Tra gli altri romanzi, il giallo che vede come protagonista il poliziotto Adalberto Maria Donati, Se ti acchiappo! (2020), a cui nel 2024 seguirà Shetland.Nel 2021 è uscito il romanzo surreale Fantasmi in viaggio.L'ultimo libro uscito, L'inganno dell'alchimista (2022), è un romanzo giallo e inaugura una nuova serie, con protagonista un libraio specializzato nella vendita di libri esoterici, Tancredi Colonna.Ha scritto anche alcuni racconti: L'isola dei morti, all'interno de La compagnia dei benandanti (2015), Il benandante e Cupido per l'antologia La Natura offesa (2020) e Il segreto del fricò di Flora, nell'antologia gialla Fricokiller (2021).Stefania Conte è nata a Venezia.Dopo gli studi universitari in psicologia, si è occupata di editoria lavorando in veste di editor, professione che svolge ancora oggi.Ha all'attivo la scrittura di romanzi e antologie di racconti. In ogni suo scritto – fantasy, giallo, storico o di formazione – il tema fondante è l'uomo e l'inestinguibile spinta a costruirsi un'identità stabile. Coltiva gli studi in antropologia culturale, storia delle religioni e filosofia.Per Morganti editori ha pubblicato la fortunata serie di romanzi che hanno come co-protagonisti i gatti: La gatta che vedeva le streghe (2013), La gatta che giocava con le farfalle (2014), Il gatto che apriva i cassetti (2014), Le gatte che mangiavano le patatine (2016), Il gatto che leggeva Dickens (2016), Il gatto che danzava con le fate (2017) e La gatta che cacciava i fantasmi (2019).Ha scritto due romanzi storici, L'ultimo canto del Codirosso (2015) e La stanza di Piera (2020), vincitore nel 2022 del Premio Tanzella.Ha pubblicato numerosi racconti: Il patto e la piuma nell'antologia La Compagnia dei benandanti (2015), Il cimitero delle anime dismesse nell'antologia Il cerchio delle streghe (2016), Maria delle bambole nell'antologia Le creature dell'acqua (2017), Domatore di farfalle e Gli occhi di Isolina per l'antologia La Natura offesa (2020).Per la collana Cattivi golosi, che racchiude racconti gialli di ispirazione gastronomica, ha scritto Una vita senza tempo per Fricokiller (2021) e La cucitura infernale per Enokiller.Ha partecipato ai romanzi corali L'uomo dei sogni reali (2020) e Il mistero delle nove perle (2021).Ora si sta dedicando a una trilogia urban-fantasy.

1116. This week, we clarify the origins of the word "Schnauzer" and why it may mean "snout," "growler," or "mustache." Then, in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, we look at the true origins of the word "scallywag," which, believe it or not, isn't from pirates but may be related to Shetland ponies. Then, we look at why we use both "used to" and "use to" and how they differ in questions and negatives.The "used to" segment was written by Natalie Schilling, a professor emerita of linguistics at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and who runs a forensic linguistics consulting firm.

People living and working around Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland say pollution in the lake has become worse over the hot summer this year. The Lough supplies about forty per cent of Northern Ireland's drinking water and for the past couple of years it's been covered with a toxic blue green algae, which has grown due to pollution from agriculture, broken water treatment facilities and industrial waste. The algae's also had a big impact on the fishing industry.All this week we're looking at animal feed. There's a drive to source and grow more of it in the UK, especially as new regulations come in to tackle deforestation linked with growing soy for animal feed. We visit a traditional feed mill in Gloucestershire which makes a feed mix from local wheat, oats, peas and beans.The island of Unst in Shetland is the most northerly inhabited island in Britain. It's also considered to be the true home of the Shetland pony and is the venue of the most northerly agricultural show in the UK. The Unst Show has been going for more than 150 years and draws crowds from across Shetland and beyond to see cows, sheep, poultry and ponies being exhibited.

There is still time to finish projects before our Summer Spin In ends on September 1st. We have a few finished projects and lots of fiber prep to discuss.

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Subscribe on Android. Marsha's Projects Simple Shawl by Jane Hunter. Finished! Used my Into the Whirled handspun. Socks: Using Patons Kroy sock in the colorway Blue Striped Ragg. Turned heel and finished gusset of second sock. Spacetime 18: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. On hold. Rag Rugs: Finished threading the reed plan to start weaving today. I'm making two 24”x36” rugs. Deer Scarf: Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I am making a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday.  Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. I brought two prints to the framer yesterday that will go in the studio. Kelly's Projects Almost finished with Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. I'm using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). I had a mistake in the lace pattern somehow because my stitch counts got off so I ripped back about 4 inches and am back on track. Fireweed Sock sock two is on the second foot. A definite candidate for finishing during the two PD days at school before students start.  Continued Combing the remaining CVM. I have two-pitch wool combs from Red Barn Farm from long ago. I had about 1.5 lbs left of the fleece that I plan to comb. So far I have about 150 g of combed top. With about 50% waste I figure this is about half done. The remainder of the fleece is very sticky and needs another wash.  Washing and Processing Ernest (2017 fleece) I've rewashed two more batches of about a pound each. These batches are less matted and will be easier to pick. I also started carding the first batch. All have been through the carder once. I decided to add silk to the second round of carding in this batch. My plan is to prep this so that I have a fall/winter spinning project.  Natural Dyeing Pelargonium leaves–orange leaning beige on CA Red fleece and barely beige on BL cross fleece. Purpleleaf plum leaves–pink leaning beige on Tunis yarn and Shetland from suint bath experiment. On both I mordanted the yarn with alum. Future plans from my yard—fig leaves, toyon leaves/twigs, ceanothus leaves/twigs. Also plan to try some dried tan oak leaves from a long ago camping trip. Summer Spin In  Now until September 1. All spinning and making with handspun yarn counts. Preparing fleeces also counts. We're close to the end! Monterey County Fair Wool Show See page 31 of the exhibitor handbook for these details.

Claire de Mézerville López is joined by co-host, Professor Emanuela Biffi, for the “Powerful Intersection Between Restorative Justice and Art” podcast series, a special initiative by the IIRP together with the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ). Art has the unique ability to connect and facilitate dialogue, making it a powerful tool in restorative justice practices. Throughout the series, we examine how artists from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds use their creative expression to foster communication, build empathy, and potentially repair harm. Each episode highlights a different aspect of this intersection, featuring conversations with artists who have contributed to restorative justice  We are joined by Dr. Clair Aldington as she discusses her research on integrating visual and movement-based languages into the restorative justice process. She co-founded Space to Face, an award-winning charity in Scotland, emphasizing how creative expression can facilitate healing dialogues and trauma articulation. Discover how Dr. Aldington's work extends beyond verbal communication, using art as a catalyst for emotional connections and solidarity between individuals involved in conflict. She reflects on pivotal moments where art objects symbolized reconciliation and inspired lasting change in both victims and offenders. Her research challenges traditional Western practices by advocating for more inclusive, visually oriented approaches to restorative justice. Dr. Aldington has authored several academic articles and book chapters regarding her practice and research. She is the co-founder of the award-winning Space2face restorative practices and arts charity in Shetland, Scotland, and a co-facilitator of an international restorative circle group, the Encounter of the Encounters, in cases of political violence. Her work has pioneered the use of art and design approaches within restorative practices. Specifically, how creative approaches can aid dialogue and the articulation of trauma, particularly in cases of serious crime, thereby improving the accessibility of restorative processes. Dr. Aldington holds a doctorate in Design and Restorative Justice and a master's in Contemporary Art and Music. She is a freelance researcher and practitioner with over twenty years of experience in the field of restorative practices. Dr. Aldington is a keynote speaker at the upcoming 2025 IIRP World Conference, Artful Integration: Exploring the Art and Science of Restorative Practices. Emanuela is the program coordinator at the EFRJ, an international network organization that brings together about 300 members dedicated to research, policy, and practice of restorative justice in the criminal justice system and beyond.  She joined the EFRJ team in September 2013, working as a project officer in different EU-funded projects on access to restorative justice, justice and security in intercultural settings, restorative justice training, child victims, and arts. Among other responsibilities at the EFRJ, she organizes its main international events (conferences, seminars, webinars, and art festival), coordinates proposals for EU-funded and other projects, and guides the overall management of working groups and committees within the EFRJ membership. Originally from Italy, Emanuela studied Liberal Arts at the University College Maastricht (The Netherlands) and University of Gaborone (Botswana) with a focus on social psychology and criminal law and the Master program in Criminology at KU Leuven (Belgium). Tune in to explore the challenges and rewards of training artists and facilitators in restorative practices. By highlighting the potential of creative mediums to bridge cultural and linguistic divides, we uncover universal avenues for healing and understanding.

Send us a textThe line between celebration and catastrophe blurs deliciously in Dynasty's "Birthday Party" episode as Baby Blake's second birthday becomes the perfect storm of family drama, business betrayal, and romantic complications. At the center of this lavish spectacle stands a birthday party that defies all reason – complete with a functioning train, Shetland ponies, jugglers, a poolside mermaid, and a terrifying six-foot jack-in-the-box. While the toddler guest of honor appears utterly shell-shocked, the adults orbit around him with their own agendas. Jeff dons clown makeup (poorly) to play "Mr. Clown," unwittingly attracting Kirby's attention and stoking Adam's jealousy. Meanwhile, Fallon battles mysterious headaches while putting on a brave face for her son's celebration. he true fireworks happen away from the party grounds. Krystal delivers a palm-stinging slap to Tracy's face after Tracy suggests they're cut from the same cloth – secretaries who slept their way to the top. Alexis drops a bombshell hint about having a fourth child, sending ripples of speculation through the Carrington dynasty. Kirby takes shooting lessons, proving herself a surprisingly accurate markswoman with potential targets in mind. And just when Blake believes he's secured a business triumph that will catapult Denver Carrington above Colby Co, his $100 million deal with Rashid Ahmed is exposed on national television as funding arms for international conflict. The episode culminates with Fallon and Jeff announcing their intention to remarry despite their palpable lack of chemistry, setting up future complications against the backdrop of Blake's unfolding international scandal. Like all great Dynasty episodes, "Birthday Party" serves up the perfect cocktail of wealth, betrayal, unexpected alliances, and consequences that will reverberate through the lives of Denver's elite. Don't miss this quintessential glimpse into the golden age of primetime soap operas!

In today's podcast, we're heading slightly beyond the Tudor world — north to Scotland — to uncover the story of a young queen who deserves far more recognition than she gets. On this day in 1486, Queen Margaret of Denmark, consort of James III of Scotland, died at just 30 years old. But her brief life left a permanent mark on British history. Because of Margaret, Orkney and Shetland became — and remained — part of Scotland. A forgotten dowry, a pledged territory, and a queen who quietly changed the map of the British Isles. But there's so much more to her than diplomacy.  Join me as I delve into the fascinating story of Margaret of Denmark — her Danish roots, her turbulent royal marriage, her influence on Scottish politics, and the tragic mystery of her early death. Had you heard of Margaret before? What do you think of her impact? Let me know in the comments below! And don't forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more history videos every week! #OnThisDay #MargaretOfDenmark #ScottishHistory #QueenMargaret #Orkney #Shetland #TudorEra #MedievalQueens #JamesIII #JamesIV #WomenInHistory #ClaireRidgway #AnneBoleynFiles

Priority areas include tackling damage to ancient monuments, or heritage crime, and attacks on livestock, with new awareness courses for animal owners. A new ban on the use of lead in ammunition has been announced by the UK government, in a bid to stop the toxic metal contaminating fields and waterways. Shot containing more than 1% lead and bullets with a lead content of more than 3% are to be prohibited. It's a long-awaited move that ministers say will protect iconic wildlife and improve water quality. There'll be a three year transition period, but conservation groups say they'd like to see it introduced straight away.All week we're taking a deep dive into the UK's shellfish industry. Almost 90% of the mussels produced in Scotland are grown in Shetland.  We visit a farm which produces 1000 tonnes a year on long ropes dotted on 24 sites around the islands.  Should British farms and supermarkets have to pay the travel and visa costs of seasonal staff? The idea's been suggested as a way of protecting workers travelling to the UK to pick fruit and vegetables, some of whom are taking out loans to get here, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. The Employer Pays Principle feasibility study, jointly commissioned by the government and the Seasonal Worker Taskforce, looked into the idea which has support from some retailers and recruitment agencies. The National Farmers Union however, has concerns about the challenges growers would face if forced to cover these additional costs, from job cuts to reduced production.

Shetland, Scotland native and independent journalist Jen Stout was in Russia in late February 2022 when the war with Ukraine broke out and quickly left for a border post in southern Romania to cover the great flood of refugees who were fleeing the fighting. Weeks later she entered Ukraine to report first-hand from the front lines and cities across the country. A writer with a great sense of empathy, Jen's main interest was not military strategy or international politics, but the Ukrainian people – their indomitable spirit, their poetic sensibilities  their hopes and fears. Her perspective is from the ground and her stories are filed from night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers. Her very moving book is entitled: “Night Train to Odessa: Covering the  Human Cost of the Russia's War.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com
