Podcasts about Socotra

Perdu dans l'océan Indien, entre les côtes yéménites et somaliennes, l'archipel de Socotra fascine tous ceux qui s'y aventurent. Parmi eux, le reporter français Quentin Müller qui vient de publier un singulier récit de voyage, journalistique et géopolitique. Une ode aussi, sensible, à la grande île décidément magnétique.  Dans le monde, il est des lieux où les superlatifs peinent à dire la force des éléments, la puissance des paysages et des solitudes qu'on y rencontre… L'archipel yéménite de Socotra, situé dans la mer d'Arabie, à l'entrée du Golfe d'Aden, est de ceux-là. Depuis des siècles, des millénaires, les relations qui en ont été faites par les voyageurs, de Marco Polo à Pline l'ancien ou Ibn Battûta ont suscité bien des légendes, faisant de Socotra et ses montagnes le lieu d'origine du phénix sacré, un repaire de pirates ou de sorciers, un jardin d'Eden voire une île cannibale.  Aujourd'hui, même si la guerre du Yémen et la géopolitique tourmentée de la région ont rattrapé ces terres rocailleuses, isolées et longtemps peuplées de bédouins réfugiés dans ses grottes, on dit encore de son île principale, sanctuaire de fascinants arbres dragon, balayée par les vents et les tempêtes, qu'elle est «extraterrestre». «Le paysage est un état d'âme», disait Victor Hugo, parce qu'il n'existe, peut-être, que dans les yeux de celui ou celle qui le regarde… Aujourd'hui, c'est donc à travers le regard singulier, sensible, précis d'un spécialiste français de la péninsule Arabique et grand amoureux du Yémen, Quentin Müller, que nous allons voyager et regarder Socotra. Le reporter nomade vient de publier en France «L'arbre et la tempête» : un récit personnel, entre quête et enquête, qui replace l'île au cœur d'enjeux géopolitiques majeurs, complexes et qui s'attache surtout à rendre plus proche et plus humaine cette île oubliée du reste du monde.

Les Houthis du Yémen et les États-Unis ont conclu mardi 6 mai un accord de cessez-le-feu, alors qu'Israël a intensifié ses frappes contre des positions tenues par les rebelles, en réplique à un tir de missile sur l'aéroport de Tel-Aviv. Que cet accord va-t-il changer en mer Rouge et au Proche-Orient ? Éléments de réponse avec Quentin Müller, journaliste indépendant spécialisé sur le Yémen et la péninsule arabique.

L'émission 28 minutes du 26/04/2025 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Isabelle Durant, experte en droit au développement au Conseil des Droits de l'Homme ; Maya Khadra, enseignante et journaliste franco-libanaise ; Daniel Borrillo, juriste, enseignant à l'Université Paris Nanterre et la dessinatrice de presse Dorthe Landschulz.L'engagement politique de Musk nuit à son entreprise : le prix à payer ?Elon Musk a annoncé qu'il comptait réduire son implication au sein du DOGE, le département de l'efficacité gouvernementale de l'administration Trump, à partir du mois de mai. Il y avait été nommé par le président américain après son investiture avec un objectif : réduire drastiquement le budget du gouvernement fédéral en faisant 2 000 milliards de dollars d'économie. Désormais, le patron de Tesla ne consacrera plus que 40 % de son temps à ses activités politiques. Ce changement de stratégie s'analyse au regard des mauvais résultats de son entreprise. Le groupe a annoncé une chute de ses bénéfices de près de 71 % au premier trimestre 2025.Les Palestiniens pourraient-ils chasser le Hamas ?Mercredi 23 avril, Mahmoud Abbas, le président de l'Autorité palestinienne, a exhorté le Hamas à libérer les otages israéliens encore retenus dans la bande de Gaza. Ce dernier a estimé que le mouvement islamiste et nationaliste palestinien avait fourni à Israël “des prétextes pour commettre ses crimes dans la bande de Gaza, le plus flagrant étant la détention d'otages”. Ces dernières semaines, la colère d'une partie des Gazaouis contre le Hamas se fait de plus en plus visible : des manifestations se sont déroulées dans les rues, malgré la reprise des bombardements et de l'offensive israélienne. L'Autorité palestinienne, largement discréditée en Cisjordanie, peut- elle reprendre les rênes à Gaza ?Direction l'île de Socotra, au large du Yémen, avec le journaliste Quentin Müller. Un archipel fascinant et secret qu'il a découvert lors d'une enquête sur l'ingérence des pays voisins et qu'il dépeint dans son dernier livre, "L'Arbre et la tempête : Socotra, l'île oubliée" (éditions Marchialy). Au-delà de ses forêts d'arbres à la sève rouge, vieux de vingt millions d'années, Socotra représente un enjeu géopolitique sur la carte d'une région à feu et à sang.Valérie Brochard rend visite à nos voisins néerlandais où la création des "Grands Pays-Bas" fait débat. L'idée émise par Martin Bosma, le président de la Chambre des représentants néerlandaise et membre du parti d'extrême droite PVV, serait de rattacher la Flandre belge au territoire. La Wallonie francophone serait ainsi destinée à rejoindre la France.Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employé de la semaine à Kevin Farrell qui devient, pendant un mois, l'intérimaire le plus important du monde. Camerlingue au Vatican, il est responsable de l'organisation des obsèques du pape François et de la période de transition jusqu'à l'élection d'un successeur par le conclave.Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur les débats télévisés entre les dirigeants des différents partis politiques au Canada, à l'approche des élections législatives du 28 avril. Les menaces d'annexion de Donald Trump se sont notamment invitées dans la campagne et pèsent considérablement dans les intentions de vote des électeurs."Olé osé", le nouvel album de chansons paillardes de Patrick Sébastien, cartonne sur les plateformes de streaming. Paola Puerari se demande donc : pourquoi les gauloiseries nous amusent-elles autant ?Enfin, ne manquez pas la question très intéressante de David Castello-Lopes : les animaux peuvent-ils nous avertir des séismes à venir ?28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Il s'était fait le chantre de la paix, et pourtant deux mois après son retour à la Maison Blanche, Donald Trump doit faire face à la dangereuse escalade des tensions à Gaza et en mer Rouge, après que son allié israélien a fait voler en éclats la trêve à Gaza avec des frappes qui ont déjà fait près d'un millier de morts lundi dans l'enclave palestinienne. Et en promettant au Hamas une pluie de bombes pour accompagner les négociations jusqu'à la libération des otages. De quoi laisser craindre que le conflit ne se propage désormais à toute la région, alors que les rebelles houthis du Yémen, soutenus par l'Iran promettent de leur côté de redoubler leurs attaques en soutien au peuple palestinien. Après avoir déjà revendiqué en quelques jours trois attaques contre des navires de guerre américains, conduisant Washington à bombarder le Yémen, et à tenir désormais Téhéran comme responsable des attaques houthies. Est-ce bien l'Iran qui a allumé la mèche de la poudrière ? L'embrasement pourra-t-il être évité au Proche-Orient ? Avec : - Quentin Müller, journaliste indépendant, auteur de L'arbre et la tempête. Socotra, l'île oubliée (Marchialy) - Adlene Mohammedi, chercheur en Géopolitique, enseignant à Paris III et à l'IRIS, co-organisateur avec Laurent Bonnefoy de la journée d'étude à Sciences Po, « Yémen : dix ans de guerre (2015-2025) ».

Today on Wonder, we're traveling to the magical island of Socotra, almost 100 km off the Horn of Africa. The island is a sanctuary for nearly 700 species that exist nowhere else in the world. Here, rain is so scarce that plants like the poisonous pink desert rose and the spiral-leafed cucumber tree fiercely guard their precious water. It's easy to forget, surrounded by emerald sea water on Socotra's beaches. Close your eyes and let us guide you to hidden wonders within this tiny archipelago. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.  This is Wonder, a weekly five-minute audio experience designed to transport you far away from the chaos of everyday life.

Excited to be sharing this conversation with Pat Abraham, a well-traveled photographer, who shares some stories from some of the more remote areas of the world in Iceland, Socotra, and Namibia. He has seemingly explored every part of Iceland on three trips already with one in the works as he describes the rugged terrain and the natural beauty throughout the country. Listen in for stories from there, the journeys to get to the remote island of Socotra, and the least populated country and oldest desert in the world in Namibia. Pat also has great insight about avoiding falling into the comparison game many creatives often find themselves victim to.

Le grand sorcier Albus Dumbledore a découvert les douze propriétés du sang de dragon, une substance aussi présente dans notre monde de Moldus. Toutefois, elle ne vient pas d'un reptile ailé géant et cracheur de feu… mais d'un arbre, le Dragonnier.Au-dessus, c'est un dôme de verdure aux feuilles effilées, en-dessous c'est un entrelacs de branches serpentines reliées à un tronc tout aussi tortueux. Il doit son nom à la résine rouge, le sang-de-dragon ou sang-dragon, qui coule de la moindre de ses blessures. Il y a 2000 ans, le sang-dragon était déjà utilisé dans la médecine traditionnelle gréco-romaine et comme colorant rouge. Parmi les Dragonniers, le premier décrit par Linné est celui des Canaries. Le plus répandu de nos jours est le Dragonnier de Madagascar, présent dans de nombreux salons. Le plus emblématique est celui de l'île de Socotra au large du Yémen.Le Dragonnier de Socotra est l'une des 307 espèces de plantes endémiques de l'île. Il sert d'abri à plusieurs espèces d'oiseaux tout aussi uniques comme la Buse de Socotra ou le Petit-duc de Socotra. Il souffre face au changement climatique mais le principal ennemi du mythique arbre-dragon est … la Chèvre. Introduite par l'être humain, la biquette broute toutes les jeunes pousses de Dragonnier empêchant le renouvellement de la population.______On aime ce qui nous a émerveillé … et on protège ce qu'on aime.______PARTAGERSous notre Gravillon vous trouverez… 4 podcasts, 1 site, 1 compte Instagram, 1 page + 1 groupe Facebook et 1 asso.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 191 f Welcome DJ Reed to the series. How long have you been DJing? I started to pick it up in college in 2015, and started to take it more seriously around 2016/2017, so around 7 years earnestly. Why did you get into it? Got into it as I lived in a party house with two other guys that liked to mess around & were maybe a year into learning how to DJ, they showed me what they knew & pretty soon I was hooked. Around that time i was just getting into festivals & was promoting local raves in Portland, OR. I used to hang out with a crew based out of Olympia Washington that would put on renegade events in the forests in between Olympia & Portland. I got to play for two hours at one of those campout quarry parties & immediately knew it was something I wanted to pursue more. After that I played a lot of house parties/college bars, and kept at it when I moved to Missoula. What events have you played? In Missoula I've played extensively at the Badlander/Monks/VFW along with a handful of opening gigs for touring artists (SkiiTour, Polish Ambassador, etc) & several local electronic showcases at the Top Hat. I've played at boutique festivals (Jammin in the Gulch, Womple Blossom, etc). Beyond that, I've played Missoula staples (Disco Bloodbath, events in Caras park, Socotra after parties) and I put on a handful of outdoor parties every summer in Missoula & surrounding areas with my good friends under the name AlpenGlow Social Club, and have played at quite a few renegade events in OR/WA/MT/CA over the last 7 years (never Forest Creatures). I am very tight with the Royale crew & played a handful of shows for them back in the day as well. Currently I'm working on a new residency at a bar project in Missoula that should open by next year. Where are you from? Missoula Montana! What inspires you? The feeling you get on the dancefloor where everything else falls away & you're just focused on the music and dancing! To me it's very meditative & healing to get down with your friends, and the communities I've met through music festivals/underground parties are some of the kindest friends I know. What genres are in your mix? Disco, Tech House, Bass House, Progressive House. A few words about your mix? This is an exploration of contemporary house music. Who are some of the artists in your mix? Eli Brown, Kyle Watson, Joshwa, Eden Prince, John Summit, Salvatore Ganacci, Renato Cohen, LPZ, etc. Link to your sound cloud or other? https://on.soundcloud.com/hwZzFHXB1a1eGHsf8

Jordi Esteva vino a la torre de babel hace casi dos años con “El impulso nómada”, la primera parte de sus memoria o, como él nos contó, los recortes de imágenes y experiencias vividas que debía contar. Un recorrido a través de 550 páginas cargas de anécdotas, recuerdos, aventuras y algunas fotos que podemos leer en Galaxia Gutemberg. Ahora, esa colección de imágenes y recortes crece con una segunda parte, "Viaje a un mundo olvidado" y que recoge las experiencias vividas en Costa de Marfil y el Océano Indico, justo antes de conocer la isla de Socotra.Escritor y fotógrafo, es un apasionado de las culturas orientales y africanas a las que dedica la mayor parte de su trabajo periodístico y fotográfico. Ha vivido durante cinco años en Egipto trabajando en Radio Cairo Internacional. Redactor jefe y director de arte de la revista Ajoblanco entre 1987 y el verano de 1993. A partir de entonces escribe libros, realiza documentales y exposiciones de fotografía.

El escritor Jordi Esteva publica la segunda parte de sus memorias bajo el título de "Viaje a un mundo olvidado" (Galaxia Gutenberg edit) y se centra en las experiencias vividas en Costa de Marfil y el Océano Indico, justo antes de conocer la isla de Socotra.

Solo hay una cosa peor que sufrir una terrible guerra desde hace ocho años: que el mundo mire para otro lado. Se estima que más de 377.000 personas han muerto como consecuencia del enfrentamiento entre las fuerzas del gobierno yemení y los rebeldes hutíes, una guerra civil recrudecida con la entrada de actores internacionales. Mientras Irán respalda a los insurgentes chiitas, Arabia Saudí y Emiratos Árabes han apoyado al oficialismo suní con bombardeos sobre áreas bajo control hutí. Un escenario agravado todavía más por el suministro de armas procedentes de países occidentales. Estamos ante la peor crisis humanitaria del planeta, en la que el 70% de la población necesita ayuda humanitaria urgente. Con el análisis de Eva Erill, fundadora de Solidarios sin fronteras, única ONG española presente en Yemen, trazamos el duro retrato de la situación actual y conocemos los proyectos que desarrollan para asistir a las víctimas de una barbarie silenciada. La realidad que vive esta nación del suroeste de la península arábiga no tiene nada que ver con la que conocieron años atrás la filóloga Ana Tendero o la propietaria de la librería Balqis de Casa Árabe, Beatriz Martín. Ambas residieron en la capital, Saná, y cayeron rendidas ante los encantos culturales y paisajísticos de un país que es la sombra de lo que era hace solo una década. Hababah, Al Mahwit, Ibb, Taiz, Moca, Tarim, Seiyun, Shibam… Sus extraordinarias arquitecturas, reflejo de una larga y compleja historia, solían atraer a viajeros de todo el mundo. Ese flujo de visitas permanece cortado por motivos evidentes; Aberto Campa y el fotógrafo Ramiro Torrents figuran entre los pocos que han podido acceder a zonas como Hadramaut o la peculiar isla de Socotra en los últimos tiempos. Poner a Yemen en el mapa, recordar su geografía, su personalidad y a sus gentes, resulta imperioso en este momento en que las agendas políticas y mediáticas orientan el foco hacia otras latitudes.

CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SafetyWing Ildikó Szabó has traveled to every country in the world.  Ildiko Szabo Counting Countries I knew of Ildy for several years and had noted her social media presence, but it wasn't until October of this year when I met her in person at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan.  I shared several conversations with her and recognized she would be a great guest for the podcast.  And, voila, a month after the festival we were recording this podcast. I would like to thank Ildy, since this podcast was a challenging endeavor.  To create 2 hours of recordings took us nearly 6 hours.  And then in post-production another 6 hours.  To say we had some technical difficulties would be an understatement.  Ildy was very, very gracious with her time.  And that is how the cookie crumbles, some episodes are straight forward and easy to publish, and well others suck up a ton of time.  And just a warning, at times it might seem like the podcast is missing audio from our conversation since at times it appears we are skipping around.  And it is true, we lost a fair amount of audio recordings, besides re-recording and my best attempts of editing, the podcast might be wanting for a better flow.  Nonetheless, Ildy provides a ton of great stories from her travels.       I found Ildy to be an accomplished traveler as well as very adventurous.  One thing I personally enjoy about interviewing all of these great travelers is how so many of them are interconnected.  I learned of a connection between Ildy and Johnny Ward.  I was impressed years ago to hear of Johnny's adventure on a cement ship from Oman to Socotra.  Well, in this conversation I was to learn Ildy took the same trip on her own to Socotra.  Really impressive.   I have a new partnership to announce.  I am promoting SafetyWing, a travel insurance company, and yes, I am an affiliate.  I have been using them personally for over 2 years.  And yes, there are a couple of reasons why … let me highlight a couple of the features.  First, you can purchase insurance while you are already on the go.  Some insurance products force you to sign up only when you are in your home country.  Second, you only have to share your initial country on your trip.  Many times, on my open-ended trips, I end up adding in additional countries.  I don't have to worry about forgetting to update SafetyWing.  They have me covered.  Third, most countries are covered.  Exceptions are Cuba, Iran, DPRK, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.  Everywhere else is covered from Mogadishu to Tripoli.  To me, this insurance is fire and forgot.  It will renew every month, or you can set an end date.  But compared to many of the other products out there, this one to me is the most flexible.  So, take a moment, check out SafetyWing, and click on the link to sign up for your next trip.   CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SafetyWing I would like to thank everyone for their support of Counting Countries, especially my Patrons:  Lucy Shoe, Phillip Jones, Simen Flotvik Mathisen, Ted Nims, Bisa Myles, Thor Pedersen, and Adam Hickman for supporting this podcast. They help pay for the production of this podcast.  You can support this podcast by going to Patreon.com/CountingCountries.  I would also like to thank and highlight two new patrons of the podcast, Ed Hotchkiss and Barry Hoffner.  I also met Ed in Yerevan for the festival as well.  Ed is Chasing 193 and is also an accomplished photographer.  I just purchased his book, Station To Station, a labor of love with black and white photos highlighting the people of the NYC subway.  Please take a moment to check out his book.  Barry is also Chasing 193 and has been to over 150 countries.  Say hi to him on his IG account, barryh99.  You can also support Counting Countries be writing a review or sharing this podcast with a travel lover.  My patrons hear extra content, like an additional hour of my conversation with Ildy.     And at the end of Ildy's conversation, you will hear a ten-minute conversation with Thor Pedersen of Once Upon A Saga.  As you might know, I have been documenting his journey every 6 months for the last 3 years.  My patrons will hear nearly 90 minutes of Thor recounting his last 6 months and his predictions for the end of the saga.     I was in Bangkok for this recording while Ildy was in Budapest.  Please listen in and enjoy.    Thank you to my Patrons …. Barry Hoffner, Edward Hotchkiss, Lucy Shoe, Phillip Jones, Thor Pedersen, Simen Flotvik Mathisen, Adam Hickman, Bisa Myles & Ted Nims.   Be the first on your block to sport official Counting Countries apparel!

Dubi tells us of his three most recent hires and how he goes about ensuring that diverse candidates are being brought into the company. He explains the pressures that hiring managers place on him and how he is able to navigate through scheduling conflicts between candidates and his team. There is a growing trend for on-demand interviews and our guest breaks down some of the issues that arise therein, as well as a close examination of the mistakes being made by companies when they hire technical engineers.  In our conversation, you'll learn how tech companies are contradicting their ingenuity, what the ideal number of interviews should be, what Socotra's interview process is like, and how and why the cultural interview is a good way of assessing how a candidate will fit into the company. Dubi explains how other companies are lazy not to send rejection letters, before leaving us with an inspirational story of how he gave a second chance which led to incredible success.    Key Points From This Episode:   Introducing our guest, Dubi Ben-Shoham, and  A quick look at his current work week: he made three key hires.  How Dubi makes sure that diverse candidates are being hired.  The pressure placed on him by hiring managers.  What he does to set realistic expectations for his managers.  How he balances the calendars of his execs.  Scheduling conflicts that arise between candidates and hiring managers.  The growing precedent of on-demand interviews.  Breaking down the problems surrounding the hiring of engineers. Whether the technical interview activities are relative to the job itself.   How, for all their ingenuity, tech companies are still hiring in a dated way.  What the ideal number is from Dubi's perspective.  A sneak peek at Socotra's interview process. The culture interview as a good assessment of how the candidate will fit in at the company. How candidates ‘fake it' more at skills interviews rather than cultural ones.   What Socotra does differently to be more respectful to candidates.  Why other companies do not send rejection letters: Dubi thinks it's laziness.   An inspirational story of success gained through a second chance.    Tweetables:   “One of my strong suits is, I know that I'm the expert in the relationship and the hiring managers are not. So I just set realistic expectations from the onset.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:04:23]   “If you ever want to have another podcast about how I want to revolutionize the technical recruiting process, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:11:30]   “Tech companies are supposed to be the most forward-thinking companies but they're still interviewing engineers like it's 1999, and it doesn't make any sense.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:15:33]   “The time it takes usually to interview candidates, the process, it all should be reviewed on a regular basis, just to make sure we are doing the right thing and candidates are feeling good about it.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:17:50]   “I applied to 300 jobs, seriously. I got to be a candidate for so long and it just showed me everything bad about recruiting.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:21:53]   “Managing expectations was the first thing I learned as a recruiter. If you're good at that, then you'll be good at what you do.” — Dubi Ben-Shoham [0:23:52]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:   Dubi Ben-Shoham on LinkedIn Socotra Karat Talk Talent to Me Hired
