Podcasts about ships

A look at the weather, the ship schedule, and a note about short winter daysThe weather is about to do its thing again: wind, rain and elevated seas. Ships are coming and going as usual, so far. And for those feeling down about our short days, consider Utqiagvic (or Barrow), Alaska, which saw its last sunset of the year earlier this week. They'll live in darkness for 64 days until the sun returns in January.

Today, John Healey joins the podcast after a Russian ship suspected of mapping undersea cables pointed lasers at RAF pilots tracking its activity near UK waters. The Defence Secretary gave a speech at Downing Street that morning describing the move as “deeply dangerous.” It comes on the same day that a report from MPs says that the UK lacks a plan to defend itself from a military attack.Adam and Chris speak to John Healey about the escalating threat to the UK, lifting the lid on what conflict looks like in a world of undersea drones and cables, and what is being done to shore up UK military defences in what Healey calls a “new era of threat.”You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Interview with Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/scottie-resources-tsxvscot-funded-to-advance-high-grade-2m-oz-gold-asset-in-bc-golden-triangle-5191Recording date: 17th November 2025Scottie Resources is positioning itself as a near-term gold producer through a direct ship ore (DSO) model that bypasses traditional milling infrastructure, targeting commercial production by mid-2028 at its flagship property 40 kilometers north of Stewart, BC. The company's strategic approach leverages existing deep water port facilities and high-grade mineralization outcropping at surface to accelerate project timelines while minimizing capital intensity in an environment of sustained elevated gold prices.The project's location adjacent to North America's northernmost ice-free deep water shipping port provides critical infrastructure advantages. Recently acquired by the Nisga'a First Nation in partnership with Tsimshian people, this facility already services established operations like Brucejack and Red Chris, eliminating concentrate transportation challenges that typically burden remote exploration projects. President Thomas Mumford emphasizes this represents "a simple project" that capitalizes on regional infrastructure rather than requiring standalone processing facilities costing $300-500 million.Ocean Partners secured an 11% equity position while committing $25 million US toward construction financing and an offtake agreement covering the feasibility-level resource. CEO Brent Omland joined Scottie's board concurrent with the transaction, aligning producer and offtaker interests. The agreement incorporates flexible buyout provisions and per-ton penalties rather than restrictive covenants, preserving Scottie's optionality as the project scales. This partnership capitalizes on favorable smelter market dynamics, with structural supply deficits in China driving negative treatment charges that enhance margins for direct ore shipments.Project economics demonstrate significant leverage to elevated gold prices, with preliminary economic assessment showing an NPV of $216 million CAD at $2,600 per ounce expanding to $670 million CAD at $4,200 per ounce with a 150% internal rate of return. The initial 18-month open pit phase targets 80,000 ounces at 7.7 grams per ton, generating sufficient cash flow to self-fund underground development and repay initial capital expenditures. This rapid payback profile reduces execution risk while accelerating unencumbered cash flow generation.Total capital requirements of $130 million CAD will be met through Ocean Partners' facility, traditional project financing structures evaluated post-feasibility study, and open pit cash flow. The company recently launched a $23 million financing round with strong insider participation, including mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty's 5% position. Management plans a competitive process for remaining funding, targeting a 70/30 debt-to-equity ratio that minimizes shareholder dilution while leveraging institutional appetite for senior secured positions in near-production precious metals projects.Permitting progresses through two-year environmental baseline studies initiated summer 2025, positioning Scottie to submit a Joint Permit Amendment Application in 2027. This streamlined pathway modernizes the property's historic mining permit rather than requiring full environmental assessment. Using Ascot Resources' eight-month approval precedent for a more complex operation, Mumford projects mid-2028 permitting completion enabling commercial production that year.First Nations relationships benefit from unique circumstances involving the Nisga'a Nation, BC's only treaty First Nation, whose recent port facility acquisition creates direct economic alignment with regional mining success. The company is negotiating an Impact and Benefit Agreement formalizing commercial terms and community commitments that underpin social license. Beyond near-term production, Scottie maintains active exploration targeting resource expansion from 700,000 ounces toward 2+ million ounces through a planned 10,000-meter drilling campaign in 2026.View Scottie Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/scottie-resources-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week it's just me, spiraling in real time about everything from why I feel like my height changes daily to the sudden, unhinged urge to go get something pierced. I talk about quitting nicotine after a decade, letting myself age without panicking, pulling back from social noise, and the weird, quiet chaos that shows up when your life finally gets safe enough to feel strange.

The Japanese government said Monday that it has lodged a protest with China through diplomatic channels regarding a recent intrusion of four Chinese coast guard ships into Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in the southernmost Japan prefecture of Okinawa.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I spent some quality time digging into the origins of a word in common use. In doing so, I contacted the Postal Museum in the United Kingdom and received a lovely reply that included a photo of a document in their archive. The document, a Post Office Circular from Friday, December 30, 1904, number 1641, introduces a new service offered by the Post Office. Let me read to you what it says, and I quote: "Telegrams to and from Ships by Wireless Telegraphy. "(To be noted at Telegraph Offices only.) "With the present Circular is enclosed a list showing the wireless telegraph stations in the United Kingdom worked on the Marconi Company's system, and the hours up to which telegrams can be received at those stations for transmission by wireless telegraphy to certain ships fitted with Marconi apparatus. By another notice in this Circular, Postmasters and others concerned are requested to enter the names of the stations in the Code Book with the necessary particulars. Ships will be issued for insertion in the Post Office Guide. "On and from the 1st January, 1905, Telegrams may be accepted from the public on the following conditions:- "Subject to the Inland Regulations with regard to counting, the charge, which must be prepaid in the usual way by means of stamps, will be at the rate of 6 1/2d. [six-and-a-half pence] a word, with a minimum of 6s. 6d. [six-and-a-half shillings] per telegram. "The name of the wireless station will in each case pass as one word in the address. "The word 'Radio,' which is not charged for, should be telegraphed in the Service Instructions." When I read that, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The introduction of a Wireless Telegram service, under the service heading of "Radio", with a photo of the actual document that introduced it into the world. I also learned that there's a dozen pennies in a shilling and over the years before decimalisation in 1971, the composition of coins changed, which made converting this into today's money interesting. As an aside, the Royal Society has a wonderful article: "The science of money: Isaac Newton's mastering of the Mint" Back to radio, this is 1904 bleeding edge technology and it's priced accordingly. The starting price for a radio telegram on new years day 1905: six bob and six; or three florin and sixpence; or a crown, a bob and a tanner; is worth just over 34 Great British Pounds today, that's just on 45 US Dollars, or nearly 69 Australian Dollars. That's the minimum price. The price per word, sixpence and halfpenny [sixpence hayp-ny] is just over 2 Great British Pounds today, nearly 4 US Dollars or almost 6 Australian Dollars. Compare that to the price of SMS, which started at about 21 cents here in Australia, today it's about 3 cents per message of 160 characters. This seems like a lucrative business to be in, but I digress, again. From my current, and ongoing research, it appears that until this point, the early 1900's, the word "radio" was always accompanied by another word, for example in this context, "radio telegraphy", another combination of the day is "radio active", as well as "radio tellurium", which today we know as polonium. Moving on, the response I received from the Postal Museum included other gems, including a reference to the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act", from the 15th of August, 1904, where I found something fascinating, from Section 2 paragraph 1: "Where the applicant for a licence proves to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General that the sole object of obtaining the license is to enable him to conduct experiments in wireless telegraphy, a license for that purpose shall be granted, subject to such special terms, conditions and restrictions as the Postmaster-General may think proper, but shall not be subject to any rent or royalty." I think that's the birth of amateur radio licensing in the United Kingdom, right there. As an aside, because I cannot help myself, the definition for the expression "wireless telegraphy", is pretty interesting too, reminding me of a quote, variations going back to at least 1866, incorrectly attributed to Einstein that goes something like this: You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, and they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Seems that the drafters of the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act" had the same thing in mind when they wrote: "The expression 'wireless telegraphy' means any system of communication by telegraph as defined in the Telegraph Acts, 1863 to 1904, without the aid of any wire connecting the points from and at which the messages or other communications are sent and received" Now, as I said, I'm still working on this, because the word "radio" as a concept had to have been conceived before the Post Office Circular was written, printed and published. It might transpire that this was the brainchild of a single individual, or it might be that this was a term whose time had arrived, or this might not be the first occurrence of the word "radio" as a concept. Today we think nothing of it when we use it to turn on the radio, listen to, or talk on the radio, radio for help, break radio silence, and plenty of other uses of this now ubiquitous word. Thanks again to the Postal Museum for finding and photographing the Post Office Circular for the 30th of December 1904, which at this stage appears to be the first occurrence of the word "radio" on its own, and for referring me to the 1904 Wireless Telegraphy act which appears to be the birth of "amateur radio" in the United Kingdom. You can find both documents on my project site at vk6flab.com. I should also mention the brave individuals who took the time to share with me how to refer to Old British Money, any mistakes are all mine. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In this episode, we explore the comprehensive strategic investments cruise lines are making to dominate global waterways, focusing on simultaneous fleet refinement, massive capacity expansion, and entry into highly competitive markets.We look at how Princess Cruises is maintaining a competitive edge through targeted revitalization, such as the extensive two-week dry dock of the Sapphire Princess. This refit centered on transforming existing spaces into premium dining venues, including the acclaimed Crown Grill Steakhouse and the new Makoto Ocean Edomae-style sushi venue by Chef Makoto Okuwa. Beyond dining upgrades, this strategy supports targeted market expansion, as the Sapphire Princess prepares for diverse itineraries, culminating in Princess Cruises' most expansive Japan season ever in 2027.Next, we dive into the staggering growth of Viking Cruises, which recently expanded its total fleet to 103 vessels with the addition of nine new river ships. This move underscores Viking's ongoing commitment to tailored, region-specific travel experiences. The new ships, including those purpose-built for Egypt's Nile River (Viking Thoth and Viking Amun), solidify Viking's leadership in vessel count and demonstrate remarkable profitability. Viking's committed orderbook anticipates a total fleet of 135 vessels by 2031.Finally, we examine the strategic shift by Trafalgar, a major guided vacation company, as it makes a decisive entry into the river cruising industry. Trafalgar's expansion reflects a move to meet the rising demand for immersive European journeys. The company plans to debut its first-ever river cruise fleet in 2028, leveraging its decades of guided travel expertise to redefine the luxury river cruising standards with innovative vessel designs and curated shore excursions.We discuss how these three diverse strategies—refinement, capacity growth, and new market entry—reflect the industry's renewed confidence and focus on delivering elevated, experience-driven products across river and ocean segments.

GO FORWARD CONFERENCE '25| EPISODE 4| THE OTHER LITTLE SHIPS| CHIMDI OHAHUNA| GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST Mark 4:35–36 | Knowing the Principles of Jesus In this revelatory episode, we sail into one of Jesus' most overlooked principles for success: recognizing and valuing the “other little ships” journeying alongside us. When Jesus crossed to the other side, He wasn't alone—and neither are you. Are you feeling like the only one? That mindset breeds burnout. God told Elijah about 7,000 people who still kept their consecration and were not said to be prophets (1 Kings 19:18). Also, Elijah connected with Elisha, a farmer, not a prophet by office. Beloved, your journey is surrounded by others carrying similar consecration, even if their titles differ. This episode unpacks: -

3. Kievan Rus Assimilation and the Unsolved Mystery of the Salme Ships Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age In the east, Rurik and his company founded what became Kievan Rus, shifting their power base south from Novgorod (862) to Kiev. Although people of Norse heritage controlled the area initially, they were a minority who mastered cultural assimilation with Slavic groups. Norse names like Ingvar and Helga became Slavicized as Igor and Olga, demonstrating extensive cultural mixing. The text also covers the mystery of the Salme ships in Estonia, recently discovered. These two ship burials, dated around 750 AD and predating Lindisfarne, contained the remains of dozens of high-status individuals from Sweden who died violently, likely on a diplomatic mission. One leader was buried with the king piece of the popular board game Hnefatafl placed in his mouth—an intentional act of storytelling.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeWhat does “AI-native” actually look like inside a company — not in theory, but in practice?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with James Dillard, former YouTube and Stripe PM, who recently spent three months embedded at Roo Code, an AI-native startup building coding agents that can write and review production code.James shares what it was like to join a 10-person team where everyone contributes to the codebase — from designers to community managers — and where the product process has been reimagined from the ground up.He walks through how discovery, design, and iteration actually work in an environment where code is the default language of collaboration — and what that means for the future of product management, engineering, and org design.Whether you're a product leader trying to make your org more AI-native, a founder exploring new operating models, or just curious about what “AI-native” means beyond the buzzwords — this episode offers a rare inside look at how the next generation of teams are really working.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Discover how Nightflyers compares to the short-lived 2018 SyFy series, why the original movie works better as an isolated cosmic nightmare, and what makes its cast (Catherine Mary Stewart, James Avery, Michael de Barres) unforgettable.Plus:

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, la Royal Navy britannique fit preuve d'une imagination redoutable pour contrer la menace des sous-marins allemands, les redoutés U-Boote. Parmi les ruses les plus ingénieuses figurent les Q-Ships, ou “navires Q” — des bâtiments civils apparemment inoffensifs, mais en réalité lourdement armés et conçus pour tromper l'ennemi.Une idée née d'une guerre sous-marine sans règlesEn 1915, l'Allemagne déclare la guerre sous-marine à outrance. Ses sous-marins attaquent sans avertissement les navires marchands britanniques, cherchant à affamer le pays en coupant ses lignes d'approvisionnement. Face à cette menace invisible, la marine britannique cherche un moyen d'attirer les U-Boote à la surface — là où ils sont vulnérables.C'est alors qu'émerge l'idée des Q-Ships : des bateaux-leurres déguisés en cargos, chalutiers ou goélettes, qui semblent sans défense mais dissimulent à bord des canons camouflés sous des panneaux de bois ou des bâches. Le “Q” vient probablement de la ville de Queenstown (aujourd'hui Cobh, en Irlande), d'où partirent les premiers bâtiments de ce type.Le stratagème en actionLeur mission reposait sur la ruse et le sang-froid. Lorsqu'un sous-marin repérait ce qu'il croyait être un navire marchand isolé, il remontait à la surface pour l'achever au canon, économisant ainsi ses précieuses torpilles. Le Q-Ship simulait alors la panique : l'équipage “abandonnait” le navire à bord de canots de sauvetage.Mais dès que le sous-marin s'approchait, les panneaux tombaient, les canons apparaissaient, et les marins britanniques ouvraient le feu à bout portant. Plusieurs U-Boote furent ainsi coulés par surprise.Efficacité et controversesEntre 1915 et 1917, les Q-Ships réussirent à détruire ou endommager plus d'une dizaine de sous-marins allemands. Mais leur succès déclina vite : les Allemands apprirent à se méfier et à tirer à distance. De plus, cette stratégie soulevait des débats éthiques : en se déguisant en navires civils, les Britanniques brouillaient la frontière entre combattants et non-combattants, violant en partie les conventions maritimes.Un héritage d'ingéniosité navaleMalgré ces limites, les Q-Ships incarnent l'ingéniosité et le pragmatisme britanniques face à un ennemi redoutable. Le concept fut même réutilisé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, bien que moins efficacement.Ces navires-pièges demeurent aujourd'hui un symbole de la guerre navale de ruse, où l'intelligence et la tromperie furent parfois aussi décisives que la puissance de feu.

Do we care about the fate of the world? Hell no. We're only concerned with exploring the wasteland of the mind, imbibing the sweet nectar of the woman kind, conquering our greatest fears (again), escaping the maze of our wretched inner-selves, living in the body of a goddess, running out of unlimited time, correcting god, beholding the power of salvation, suffering a promo endurance round, perceiving decadence, rebuffing everyone after a one-hit death, getting stuck in the healing loop, and probably defeating the last boss.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover new data showing the exodus of over two million foreigners under President Trump, an FBI shift toward immigration enforcement, reports of police “cooking the books” on crime, fresh Antifa terror threats, a major arrest in California's deadly Palisades fire, and breaking news on New York Attorney General Letitia James's indictment. We'll also look abroad at the Gaza peace deal, China's mineral squeeze, Argentina's bailout, Finland's icebreaker partnership, and research on finding daily hope. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   Trump's Immigration Victory: The Center for Immigration Studies confirmed that 1.65 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. since Trump took office, along with 550,000 legal migrants, totaling 2.2 million fewer foreign residents. That equals roughly 20 to 25 percent of those who entered under Biden, marking faster progress than expected.   FBI Turns to Immigration Enforcement: A quarter of FBI agents are now focused on immigration, with the figure reaching 40 percent in large field offices. Critics call it a misuse of resources, but Bryan argues that with 185,000 Chinese illegal aliens in the U.S., “it stands to reason” the shift is justified.   DC Crime Data Under Investigation: Forty Washington, D.C. officers are cooperating with a DOJ probe into whether city leaders falsified crime statistics. Officers say politicians and senior brass “cooked the books” to hide rising crime.   Antifa Plans ‘Laser Tag' Attacks on ICE Helicopters: The group is urging followers to flood Portland skies with handheld lasers to down federal aircraft. Bryan reminds listeners: “Antifa is not an idea or peaceful — they are terrorists.”   Palisades Fire Suspect Arrested: A 29-year-old Florida man and Biden donor was charged in California's fire that killed 12 people and caused $150 billion in damage. Investigators say his phone data placed him at the scene.   Letitia James Indicted for Mortgage Fraud: New York's Attorney General, who campaigned on prosecuting Trump, faces bank fraud charges for falsifying records on two homes and claiming her father was her husband to secure favorable loans. Bryan quips, “Karma is quite something, isn't it?”   Gaza Peace Advances: Israel's cabinet approved Trump's ceasefire plan, including 2,000 prisoner releases, partial troop withdrawals, and European-Egyptian patrols in Gaza. Trump will visit the region for a signing ceremony.   UAE AI Chip Deal: The U.S. authorized Nvidia sales worth billions to the UAE in exchange for a $1.4 trillion investment pledge. Critics warn of Chinese espionage risks.   China Tightens Rare Earth Exports: Beijing imposed new restrictions on key minerals to pressure Trump before trade talks. Analysts expect new U.S. investments in domestic mining to follow.   U.S. Backs Argentina's Milei: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bought Argentine pesos to stabilize the economy ahead of Milei's election battle against socialists.   Finland Icebreaker Deal: The U.S. and Finland agreed to co-produce 11 new icebreakers, expanding the Coast Guard's fleet to 13 ships for Arctic defense and trade.   U.S. Sinks More Narco Boats: The Navy destroyed at least five cartel vessels in the Caribbean as Trump halted diplomatic talks with Venezuela.   Study Finds Hope Reduces Stress: Researchers discovered that short daily videos of inspiration reduce anxiety more effectively than meditation. Bryan closes, “The path to happiness and less stress is hope.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Trump immigration deportations 2.2 million, FBI agents immigration enforcement, DC crime stats investigation DOJ, Antifa laser attack ICE helicopters, Palisades fire arrest Florida suspect, Letitia James mortgage fraud indictment, Israel Hamas Trump peace plan, UAE Nvidia AI chip deal China risks, China rare earth export limits, Argentina Milei bailout Scott Bessent, Finland icebreaker shipbuilding deal, Venezuela narco boats destroyed, hope inspiration stress study MedicalXpress

Charles's Return and the Fate of the Prize Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Barnard and his marooned men were eventually rescued by two British whaling ships and taken to Lima, Peru. Before starting his arduous, uncertain two-year return journey to New York, Barnard regretfully gave his beloved dog, Cent, who was critical to their survival, to a British whaling captain, believing Cent would have a better life. Barnard returned home virtually bankrupt, having signed a $5,000 bond. The "lawfare" over the Nanina eventually concluded when Murray and Son successfully appealed the prize court's initial decision favoring D'Aranda. Murray and Son received payment for the brig's value, leaving D'Aranda with nothing. Though initially vowing to quit the sea, Charles returned to sealing, later becoming a port warden, and published a book about his experiences in 1829.
