Snowy Saturday Morning 50 Case National Park DISAPPEARANCES Stream with Steve StocktonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Jason Williamson, the fiercely articulate frontman of Sleaford Mods, to explore the band's most ambitious and unflinching record yet: The Demise Of Planet X, out 16 January 2026 via Rough Trade Records. Created with long-time collaborator Andrew Fearn, the album expands the Mods' sound both musically and emotionally, featuring rare and inspired guest appearances from Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings), Aldous Harding, Liam Bailey, and Nottingham grime MC Snowy. Their single "The Good Life" introduces a striking new dimension, with Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday / Severance / Game of Thrones) and Midlands duo Big Special lending their voices to its escalating inner monologue. Blending vivid sonics, acerbic storytelling and pitch-black humour, The Demise Of Planet X imagines the end of the world not through catastrophe, but through the creeping mundanity and absurdities of modern life. It's a ferocious, witty and deeply human response to cultural collapse across 13 tightly wound tracks. Jason discusses the album's creation, the increasing paranoia and vulnerability in the new material, and the band's most varied musical palette to date. He reflects on the collaborations — from Aldous Harding's feather-light touch on "Elitest G.O.A.T." to Sue Tompkins' beautifully raw presence on "No Touch", from Liam Bailey's soulful turn on "Flood The Zone" to Snowy's razor-edged bars on "Kill List." At the centre of the conversation is "The Good Life", where Andrew Fearn's tense production meets Williamson's rapid-fire delivery, while Christie and Big Special voice the inner turmoil triggered by Jason's own outspoken moments within the music world. "Planet X isn't a concept — it's the world we're living in." — Jason Williamson A bold, biting statement from one of Britain's most vital bands, The Demise Of Planet X captures Sleaford Mods at their sharpest and most emotionally exposed.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, hosts Jason and Dan discuss the challenges of balancing family life with hunting during the holiday season. They share personal anecdotes about home renovations, the overwhelming amount of hunting gear, and the impact of snowy conditions on deer behavior. The conversation shifts to late-season hunting strategies, the importance of trail cameras, and the pressure of neighboring hunters. They also explore the dilemma of whether to pursue a big buck or fill the freezer with does, and the potential for out-of-state hunts. The episode concludes with a reminder about safety and preparation for the hunting season. Takeaways: Balancing family commitments with hunting can be challenging during the holidays. Home renovations can test patience and lead to unexpected challenges. Organization of hunting gear is crucial but often neglected. Snowy conditions can significantly affect deer behavior and movement patterns. Late-season hunting strategies should focus on food sources and deer patterns. Trail cameras are essential for monitoring deer activity and making informed hunting decisions. Hunting pressure from neighbors can impact deer movement and hunting success. Deciding between pursuing a big buck or filling the freezer is a common dilemma for hunters. Planning for out-of-state hunts can be beneficial for future seasons. Safety and communication are vital during hunting season, especially during drives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

National Weather Service Meteorologist Liz Jurkowski has Tuesday's forecast.
7/8. The Snowy Egret, The Emperor Penguin, and the Climate Canary — Steven Moss — Moss describes the beautiful Snowy Egret, nearly driven to extinction during 19th-century "plumage wars," when its feathers, priced equivalently to gold, were harvested for women's millinery fashion. Moss emphasizes that the resulting systemic cruelty toward birds catalyzed women to establish conservation organizations including the Audubon Society. Moss identifies climate change as the current existential threat, exemplified by the Emperor Penguin, facing projected 98% extinction by 2100 due to habitat loss from sea ice decline. Moss characterizes the penguin, alongside migratory warblers affected by phenological mismatches with earlier insect emergence, as a "miner's canary" providing early warning of impending ecological and climate catastrophe confronting humanity. 1914

A small New England college nestled in the Green Mountains during snowfall, ambience. It's the holidays, 1968; the chorus of Norwich University and Vermont College readies for their performance of Winter Songs. And you are invited. Well somewhat invited — obviously the 60's are long gone, man. And the perspective for this performance will play outside of Plumley Armory pattering with falling snow.Passing traffic on snowy South Main — yes I'm being an ****** on purpose it's Christmas — into charming (blue collar AF and I say that with admiration) Northfield, Vermont. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays this year, whether you celebrate or not. Seriously, enjoy the holidays; now go away. I don't want to give up too much on how the sausage is made for the folks who just read a few lines and bounce. Just a couple more sentences and those people will disappear. What did y'all think of the Steam cube? OK, I feel like we've shaken off the normies — I found an obscure vinyl recording of a 1968 choral performance (no background sounds those were added) by Norwich University and Vermont College. I'm not entirely sure what part of the year this recording coincided. With several invocations of the Devine I assumed the original recording must be Christmas. And I definitely wanted to imagine there was snow coming down for this performance (which could have been Spring, it snows like hell some Springs up there). I'm positive divinity and salvation were pretty evergreen in 1968 for military college students on the precipice of graduation and probably the Vietnam War soon after.I have to think more than one voice in this recording will be silenced by that war. Not to dampen spirits, I think we could hold on to that in a world ravaged by basic human instincts. There's a lot of “that” to hold on to this holiday season. Maybe that's why we sing?

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Conquering Avala: A Snowy Tale of Trust and Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-11-27-08-38-19-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Снегови су завладали Авалом брже него што је ико очекивао.En: The snows took over Avala faster than anyone expected.Sr: Никола је стајао на ивици шумског пута, гледајући како пахуље завејавају стазу испред њега.En: Nikola stood at the edge of the forest path, watching as the snowflakes covered the trail in front of him.Sr: Авала, планина на коју је тако често одлазио, данас је изгледала другачије, мистериозније.En: Avala, the mountain he often visited, looked different today, more mysterious.Sr: Али он је био решен.En: But he was determined.Sr: Хтео је до врха, без обзира на све.En: He wanted to reach the top, no matter what.Sr: Милица му се придружила у овој авантури, више због подршке него због жеље за изазовом.En: Milica joined him on this adventure, more for support than for the thrill of the challenge.Sr: Она је увек волела сигурност и био је сумњу у ову непромишљеност.En: She always loved safety and was doubtful about this recklessness.Sr: Снег је већ почео да утиче на њено расположење.En: The snow had already started affecting her mood.Sr: "Време е катастрофално.En: "The weather is catastrophic.Sr: Треба да се вратимо", рекла је.En: We should turn back," she said.Sr: "Можемо ми то.En: "We can do it.Sr: Неће нас неки снег зауставити", одговорио је Никола самоуверено, иако је у њему титрао страх од непредвидљивости.En: Some snow won't stop us," replied Nikola confidently, even though he had a flicker of fear from the unpredictability.Sr: Док су кренули уз стазу, дрвеће око њих полако се претварало у снежне силуете.En: As they started up the trail, the trees around them slowly turned into snowy silhouettes.Sr: Ветар је дувао све јаче, непредвидива сила која је стално мењала правац.En: The wind blew stronger and stronger, a fickle force constantly changing direction.Sr: Како су се уздигли више по стрмој стази, снег је дошао као лавина, брисао трагове и скривао пут од њихових очију.En: As they climbed higher on the steep path, the snow came like an avalanche, erasing the tracks and hiding the path from their eyes.Sr: Милица је зауставила корак.En: Milica stopped walking.Sr: "Ово је превише, Никола.En: "This is too much, Nikola.Sr: Изгубићемо пут", рекла је забринуто.En: We'll lose the path," she said worriedly.Sr: Никола је стојао, покушавајући да игнорише језиво шиштање ветра.En: Nikola stood, trying to ignore the eerie hissing of the wind.Sr: Али је знао да је Милица у праву.En: But he knew Milica was right.Sr: Без обзира на његово искуство, он није могао игнорисати опасност.En: Despite his experience, he couldn't ignore the danger.Sr: Снег је постајао гушћи, а видљивост је била готово нула.En: The snow became thicker, and visibility was almost zero.Sr: Милица је предложила да прате траг њених корака назад.En: Milica suggested they follow the trail of their footsteps back.Sr: "Слушај, можемо се вратити истим путем.En: "Listen, we can return the same way.Sr: Ја ћу водити који део, а ти провјери да не зађемо", предложила је, показујући свој пејџер.En: I'll lead part of the way, and you make sure we don't stray," she suggested, pointing to her pager.Sr: Имала је планирање и педантност које би могли да их спасу.En: She had planning and meticulousness that could save them.Sr: Никола је увидео да је време да уклони своју упорност.En: Nikola realized it was time to let go of his stubbornness.Sr: "У реду, води нас", рекао је, схватајући да његова жеља да стигне до врха није вредна њихове безбедности.En: "Alright, lead us," he said, understanding that his desire to reach the top wasn't worth their safety.Sr: Две силуета се полако кретала натраг кроз снег.En: The two silhouettes slowly moved back through the snow.Sr: Њихов обострани напор и поверење осећао се у сваком кораку.En: Their mutual effort and trust were felt in every step.Sr: Милица је водила, пажљиво чувајући правац, а Никола је пазио на било какве знаке опасности.En: Milica led, carefully keeping track of the direction, while Nikola watched for any signs of danger.Sr: Када су се најзад пробили кроз снежну олују до подножја, тамо их је дочекала тиха планинска долина, сада изгледајући мирно и доброћудно.En: When they finally broke through the snowstorm to the base, they were greeted by a quiet mountain valley, now looking calm and gentle.Sr: "Захваљујући теби, вратили смо се безбедно", признао је Никола.En: "Thanks to you, we returned safely," admitted Nikola.Sr: "Твоја мара и план били су оно што нас је спасило.En: "Your diligence and plan were what saved us."Sr: "Милица се осмехнула, осећајући ослобађање од своје скромне навике да избегава ризике.En: Milica smiled, feeling a release from her modest habit of avoiding risks.Sr: Осећала је да је данас превише постала део тог авантуристичког света којем се дивила код Николе.En: She felt that today she had become more a part of that adventurous world she admired in Nikola.Sr: Обоје су се загледали у планину, сада завијену у мирну сјајну белину, спремнији за следећу авантуру, али овога пута с више разумевања и поверења.En: Both stared at the mountain, now wrapped in a peaceful, shining whiteness, more ready for the next adventure, but this time with more understanding and trust.Sr: И као што ретко бива у животу, један неуспех претворио се у драгоцену победу — победу поверења и пријатељства.En: And as rarely happens in life, one failure turned into a valuable victory—a victory of trust and friendship.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Snowy Proposals and Perfect Gifts: A Christmas Tale in Åre Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-24-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: På en kylig morgon i Åre, med fjällen täckta av tidig höstsnö, såg Elin från fönstret i sitt rum.En: On a chilly morning in Åre, with the mountains covered in early autumn snow, Elin looked out from the window of her room.Sv: Det gnistrade över bergen och byn var klädd i små lyktor som antydde julens ankomst.En: It sparkled over the mountains, and the village was dressed in small lanterns hinting at the arrival of Christmas.Sv: Hon, Johan och Sofia hade bestämt sig för en resa till den populära skidorten, inte bara för snödropparnas skull, utan också för att hitta perfekta julklappar.En: She, Johan, and Sofia had decided on a trip to the popular ski resort, not just for the snowdrops, but also to find perfect Christmas gifts.Sv: "Vi måste se till att vara i tid till butikerna innan de fylls med folk", sa Johan, som hade en lista över saker han ville köpa.En: "We must make sure to be on time to the shops before they fill up with people," said Johan, who had a list of things he wanted to buy.Sv: Han tänkte på allt: ny skidutrustning, varma koftor, och kanske något mer personligt för Sofia.En: He thought of everything: new ski gear, warm sweaters, and maybe something more personal for Sofia.Sv: Han bar på en liten hemlighet – han planerade att fria och var nervös över rätt tillfälle.En: He carried a little secret—he planned to propose and was nervous about the right moment.Sv: Elin, å sin sida, var bekymrad.En: Elin, for her part, was worried.Sv: Hon ville verkligen ge Johan en speciell gåva.En: She really wanted to give Johan a special gift.Sv: Något som kunde visa honom hur mycket han betydde för henne som vän.En: Something that could show him how much he meant to her as a friend.Sv: Men hur skulle hon hitta det i allt julerbjudande och röran av folk i affärerna?En: But how would she find it amidst all the Christmas offers and the crowds in the shops?Sv: Hon stod i hallen och funderade tills Sofia, som älskar vinterromantik och julens magi, kom och märkte hennes tveksamhet.En: She stood in the hallway thinking until Sofia, who loves winter romance and the magic of Christmas, came and noticed her hesitation.Sv: "Behöver du hjälp, Elin?"En: "Do you need help, Elin?"Sv: frågade Sofia vänligt, medan de drog på sig sina varma jackor och vantar.En: asked Sofia kindly, as they put on their warm jackets and gloves.Sv: "Ja, jag tror att jag kan behöva lite hjälp att hitta något särskilt till Johan", svarade Elin ärligt.En: "Yes, I think I might need some help finding something special for Johan," Elin replied honestly.Sv: De

This week we are chatting with Tony Guseli.Born in Australia to Italian immigrant parents, Tony has discovered a strong passion into family research. He shared with us some of the interesting stories he has uncovered, particularly in relation to his Grandfather's story of being abandoned at birth in Italy.Tony also told us some fascinating details about the Snowy Scheme, a hydroelectricity and irrigation complex located in New South Wales. With work on the scheme commencing in 1949, it is the largest engineering project ever undertaken in Australia. The Snowy Scheme employed hundreds of migrant men from several places, including Italy. Many people don't know the story of the Snowy Scheme and of its many accidents which claimed the lives of 121 men, 27 of whom were Italian. One of those men was Tony's uncle Antonio. Tony is on a mission to tell the story of these men and has already spent countless hours on research. It's a huge task and without Tony's efforts these stories will not be told.If you have any details which can be added to Tony's research he asks that you please reach out, you can do this getting in touch with us or by clicking the links in the show notes.Tony's email:guselitvg@bigpond.comItalian Australian Podcast email:italianaustralianpodcast@gmail.com

the branches of the ancient oak trees in the Montjuïc forest, where Jordi walked in silence, hoping to find the peace he so longed for.Ca: Les fulles groguenques i marrons formaven una catifa sota els seus peus, però aquella tardor amagava una sorpresa: una tempesta de neu inesperada.En: The yellow and brown leaves formed a carpet under his feet, but that autumn hid a surprise: an unexpected snowstorm.Ca: Jordi coneixia cada racó d'aquella muntanya.En: Jordi knew every corner of that mountain.Ca: La boscositat del terreny era un refugi per al seu esperit inquiet, que sovint buscava escapar de la vida sorollosa de Barcelona.En: The woodland terrain was a refuge for his restless spirit, which often sought to escape the noisy life of Barcelona.Ca: No obstant això, aquella nit, la

nevada.En: Visibility diminished, and the path he knew so well vanished under the snowfall.Ca: Atrapant l'aire gèlid, Jordi va decidir que havia de trobar refugi abans que fos massa tard.En: Breathing

passaven lentament, va començar a comprendre que la seva felicitat també depenia dels altres.En: As the hours passed slowly, he began to understand that his happiness also depended on others.Ca: De sobte, un so trencador: veus llunyanes i lladrucs de gossos.En: Suddenly, a breaking sound: distant voices and barking dogs.Ca: Jordi, ple d'esperança renovada, es va aixecar amb dificultat i va cridar amb totes les seves forces.En: Jordi, filled with renewed hope, stood up with difficulty and shouted with all his might.Ca: —Aquí!En: "Here!Ca: Aquí!En: Here!"Ca: Les figures van aparèixer

searching for him since the storm had intensified.Ca: —Jordi!En: "Jordi!"Ca: —va exclamar Maria, abraçant-lo amb força.En: exclaimed Maria, embracing him tightly.Ca: Pere va somriure amb alleujament.En: Pere smiled with relief.Ca: Amb el suport dels seus amics, Jordi va ser guiat fora del bosc.En: With the support of his friends, Jordi was guided out of the forest.Ca: Al costat del foc de campament, mentre bevia un cafè calent, va mirar Maria i Pere amb gratitud.En: By the campfire, while sipping hot coffee, he looked at Maria and Pere with gratitude.Ca: —He après una lliçó —va dir Jordi, sentint les paraules brollar amb sinceritat—.En: "I've learned a lesson," said Jordi, feeling the words flow sincerely.Ca: No vull estar més sol.En: "I don't want to be alone anymore.Ca:

tant físicament com emocionalment.En: Maria and Pere nodded, happy to have their friend back, both physically and emotionally.Ca: Els lligams que Jordi havia descuidat semblaven més forts que mai, i va prometre cuidar-los, conscient de que la vida compartida era més brillant i significativa.En: The bonds Jordi had neglected seemed stronger than ever, and he promised to nurture them, aware that a shared life was brighter and more meaningful.Ca: Aquella nit, el bosc de Montjuïc va tornar a la tranquil·litat, mentre Jordi deixava enrere la seva solitud.En: That night, the Montjuïc forest returned to tranquility, as Jordi left his solitude behind.Ca: Va saber que sempre hi ha una mà amiga esperant per oferir ajuda, encara que la neu caigui amb fúria.En: He knew there was always a

Gazing up at mountains from their valleys down below, it's hard, if not impossible, to detect any change on the top of the mountains. But change is ongoing, especially in recent history as the climate continues to warm. From Tacoma or Seattle in Washington state, the snowy summit of Mount Rainier National Park appears unchanged from how it's always looked. Snowy. But is that truly the case? What would you think if someone told you the top of the summit no longer is 14,410 feet high, that the high point of the park has actually shrunk? Our guests today are Eric Gilbertson, a mechanical engineer and mountaineer from Seattle University, and Scott Hotaling, a watershed sciences professor from Utah State University, who have measured the thickness of the ice cap on the summit of Mount Rainier. What they have to say may surprise you.
Snowy owls, of course, are species of the tundra. So are lemmings, which are mouse-like mammals that are the main food source for snowy owls. For decades this predator/prey relationship has been known to be closely linked, and a four-year population cycle been well documented.

. The Snowy Egret and Emperor Penguin: Conservation, Fashion, and Climate Crisis AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This final excerpt discusses the slaughter of the Snowy Egret for its feathers during the 19th-century "plumage wars," driven by high fashion. The extreme cruelty galvanized women to form conservation societies, such as the Audubon Society. The murder of warden Guy Bradley, who was protecting the birds, helped end the industry. The conversation concludes with the Emperor Penguin, which is facing massive population loss (estimated 98% by 2100) due to the climate crisis and serves as the "miner's canary" warning humanity of impending doom.
Most birds molt and regrow their flight or wing feathers — one at a time along each wing — to stay in prime condition for flying. But for a Wandering Albatross, with a whopping 10-to-12-foot wingspan, that's a big job! It takes the large albatrosses a full year to molt, and they have to put off breeding until the next year. It's one or the other. But they make the birds incredibly efficient flyers and true masters of the wind.¡Escuche este episodio en español aquí!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
