Drop us a message!Standing out as a challenger brand is easy to get wrong… and most brands do. The ones that break through aren't just louder, they're more intentional.In this episode of Social In 10, we're joined by Georgia Smith, Founder of The Loud Agency, to explore what it really takes to stand out in a saturated market without resorting to gimmicks or short-term attention grabs.Georgia shares what separates brands that build genuine communities from those that accumulate passive audiences, how bold personality-led marketing can drive real commercial results rather than just vanity metrics, and the biggest mistakes brands make when trying to be "different,” including the trap of performative loudness.Want to be featured on the pod?

Brighton & Hove Albion have done it again. While the rest of Europe's elite clubs make noise, the Seagulls quietly do business, completing a record-breaking £21.5 million signing of 18-year-old Nigerian sensation Zadok Yohanna from AIK Stockholm. The highly coveted winger lands on a five-year deal, stepping right into the heart of Fabian Hürzeler's tactical revolution.In this episode, we unpack the meteoric rise of the boy from Kaduna and look at how he fits into the evolving Amex landscape:Exploring how Brighton won a massive cross-continental transfer battle against the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle, and Real Madrid by offering the ultimate pitch: guaranteed trust in elite young talent.A tactical breakdown of Yohanna's profile—a left-footed, inverted right winger who thrives on direct, one-versus-one bravery, explosive five-yard acceleration, and the spatial versatility to drift into the number ten role.Mapping out where Yohanna fits in the 2026 squad hierarchy, touching on the departures of João Pedro and Evan Ferguson, alongside the veteran leadership of a shockingly returned Pascal Groß to pull the strings in midfield.Discussing the physical leap from Sweden's Allsvenskan to the weekly street fight of the Premier League, and why Brighton is the perfect environment to turn his raw promise into world-class end product.Tune in as we debate whether Yohanna is destined to become the next nine-figure departure from the South Coast or if Europe isn't quite ready for the Amex's latest graduation project.

What if your next trip to Iceland could do more than create unforgettable memories? In this episode, I sit down with Anne Peters and geologist Johannes Marteinn from Katla UNESCO Global Geopark to explore one of the most fascinating experiences I’ve ever had in Iceland: science-backed expeditions where everyday travelers help collect real scientific data. The best part? You don’t need any scientific experience. If you can hike, take photos, or learn to use simple equipment, you can contribute to research that’s helping scientists better understand Iceland’s rapidly changing landscapes. In this episode What “citizen science” really means How anyone can participate in real scientific research in Iceland My experience collecting glacier, dead ice, and coastline data Why Katla Geopark is one of Iceland’s most geologically diverse regions How scientists monitor glaciers, dead ice, and coastal erosion What happens to the data after each expedition Why these small-group adventures are designed with sustainability in mind https://youtu.be/VxqVdGRYnak Some surprising facts you’ll learn about Iceland Katla UNESCO Global Geopark covers nearly 10% of Iceland. Parts of Iceland’s South Coast are eroding by an average of about five meters every year. During one storm in 2022, scientists measured up to 100 meters (328 feet) of coastline disappearing in a single event. Participants receive reports, updates showing how their measurements contribute to ongoing research, and a certification of completion.  Save 10% on your own Citizen Scientist Expedition in Iceland If you’d like to experience one of these science-backed expeditions yourself, you can save 10% by using my code JEWELLS when booking through Katla UNESCO Global Geopark. Here is the expeditions – https://www.katlageopark.com/about-katla/research/science-driven-expeditions/ I genuinely loved taking part in these expeditions because I wasn’t just admiring Iceland’s incredible landscapes, I was helping researchers collect information that contributes to understanding how Iceland is changing. It completely transformed the way I think about travel, and I hope this conversation inspires you to experience Iceland in a whole new way as a citizen scientist.

Danny Harkins opens up about a life that spun from boxing gyms and factory floors into one of the most feared debt-collecting operations in the south of England - and the forty-three-year sentence that came crashing down on him and his crew.What started as five limited companies, eighty-odd cars on the forecourt, and three debt collectors on retainer became a spiral of ego, cocaine, and violence - ending in a petrol-bombed gym, a botched kidnap, and years behind bars. He talks about the fallout with his oldest friend, the vengeance he carried inside, and the addiction that crept back in once he came home - and the public relapses he's chosen to own rather than hide. Now clean and building a platform to help others out of the same hole, he reflects on what real accountability looks like after a life like that.This is the eventful life of Danny Harkins.

Welcome, Trina Bigham, a published author and an aspiring artist. She is a Northeastern University graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering. According to Trina, she has "spent her life following the quiet tug of purpose wherever it led her. Trina Bigham was born in Westwood, New Jersey. She moved to the South Coast of Massachusetts before she was a year old. She's lived in Wareham, Mattapoisett, and Marion before settling in Fairhaven, where she has lived for the past 30 years. Her childhood was chaotic, but she found peace and grounding in nature—a refuge that would later shape her advocacy, creativity, and writing. Her book, Better Than Ordinary: Breaking Barriers on a Journey of Resistance and Hope, is the inspiring true story of a mother navigating love, loss, and resilience, and raising a child with disabilities. Her journey as mother and author evolved alongside her son Brennan's. It trans­formed her emotionally and spiritually into a champion for his potential. Better Than Ordinary offers hope, insight, and inspiration to anyone facing life's challenges. Trina recently spoke with The Artists Index's podcast host, Max Wickemeyer, about her life and journey. This episode was recorded at the  Spectrum Marketing Group studio at Howland Place in New Bedford.   Trina Bigham 1 B Green Street Fairhaven, Massachusetts 02719 (774) 400-8361   Email | Website | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Other   We're not asking for you to finance a nonprofit.

We're with Kelly (The alcoholic ex-dog walker) opening up South Coast Canine Academy with our first Bootcamp down south. To honour this big moment for us, Kelly is here to tell us her 2 poo related incidents.. We also sit down with Harrison and Kayleigh to talk about the reality of rehabilitating a reactive rescue. They adopted Hazel, a beautiful Rottweiler, but quickly found themselves trapped in a cycle of stress. We hear how they've gotten on this week on the first ever South Coast Canine Academy bootcamp and what their life will look like moving forward.

The federal and B.C. governments made a major energy announcement Thursday. The oil tanker ban on the North Coast stays, and B.C. gets significant funding for infrastructure and LNG. That means any oil pipeline from Alberta would likely have to take a southern route. We asked what you think of a potential pipeline to the South Coast, as CBC provincial affairs reporter Katie DeRosa and UBC political scientist Kathryn Harrison join the show.

Drop us a message!In many B2B sectors, marketing has always been treated as a cost rather than a commercial driver, and the businesses that change that thinking are the ones that start pulling ahead.In this episode of Social In 10, we're joined by Alastair Patrick, Founder of Aluxai, to explore what it really takes to build a marketing function from first principles in sectors where marketing has historically been undervalued.Alastair shares how businesses can move from relying on relationships and reputation to building a structured, full-funnel demand engine, the diagnostic questions he asks when stepping into an undermarketed sector to uncover the biggest commercial opportunities, and how founder-led businesses can introduce senior-level marketing thinking without creating unnecessary complexity or overhead. You can find Alastair online via the links below:Website: aluxai.co.ukLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alastairpatrick1Want to be featured on the pod?

Many thanks to SRAA contributor Andrew, who shares the following recording from Radio 4.“I chose to record the programme on one of my old radios received on the soon-to-be-discontinued Droitwich 198kHz transmitter.The radio is a Pye Mistral (picture attached) which was (almost) the first radio that I even had around 1972. It might even be tuned to the right place on the dial ("Radio 2", 1500m). That was the station that was broadcast on that wavelength back then.It is not a well-performing radio, but it has a wide-ish audio bandwidth and the recording is probably as nice-sounding as it can be on LW - that warm AM sound that you refer to in the programme. Reception was on the radio's internal ferrite rod aerial in one of the rooms of the house here on the South Coast of the UK.”This recording captures a special edition of BBC Radio 4's The Sound of Soft Power, a documentary exploring the cultural, political, and emotional legacy of international broadcasting and shortwave radio. The programme weaves together archival recordings, listener memories, and contemporary reflections on a medium that once connected the world across borders and ideologies.The documentary also makes extensive use of recordings preserved in the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive, highlighting the importance of preserving off-air recordings as historical documents. In addition, SRAA curator Thomas Witherspoon is interviewed during the programme, discussing both the archive itself and the enduring fascination many listeners still have with shortwave broadcasting.While this is not an off-air shortwave recording in the traditional sense, it is very much connected to the history and culture of shortwave listening. Andrew's decision to record the programme from BBC Radio 4 Longwave using a vintage Pye Mistral receiver adds another layer of radio history to the experience — capturing the broadcast with the characteristic warmth and ambience of longwave AM reception just as the Droitwich 198 kHz transmitter approaches the end of its service life.For those interested in radio history, international broadcasting, and the sounds of the shortwave era, this programme is well worth hearing.This recording is being published on 27 June 2026 to mark the closure of the BBC Radio 4 Long Wave service from Droitwich on 198 kHz, bringing to a close one of the United Kingdom's longest-running and most historically significant AM broadcast transmissions.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 23rd of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in that well-known scripture found in Psalm 20:7: ”Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” Then we go to Acts 23:14: “They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.” Forty men pledge that they will eat nothing, they will drink nothing, until they kill the apostle, Paul. But of course, Jesus is Paul's protector. He is also your protector and my protector.What happened was that a young boy, the son of Paul's sister, overheard the ambush that was going to take place and went to the Roman Commander and told them what was going to happen, and they took Paul out of the city. They protected him. Isn't that beautiful? The Lord protects you and me often, and we do not even know that He is doing it. We will know when we get to Heaven. We just thank Him every day for protecting our families, our children, our parents, the widows and the orphans. He is our protection.Remember that story of the preacher named William Duma who operated on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal? He was going on a bus to another preaching appointment. He was in the middle of the sugarcane fields, sitting in the front of the bus on the passenger side, when all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit impressed upon him to get off the bus immediately. So he pulled the emergency wire. The bus driver came to an abrupt halt. There was dust flying all over the place. The bus driver was very angry. “Who pulled the emergency wire, right in the middle of the sugarcane fields?” There were no houses, no village anywhere near to be seen. This little preacher put up his hand. He said, “It was me. I have to get off the bus.” The driver said, “Are you mad? You are in the middle of nowhere.” "Well,” he said, “the Lord told me I have to get off.” Well, he opened the door and pushed William Duma out, threw his suitcase after him, slammed the door, put the bus into gear and roared off with a cloud of dust, and the little man of God stood there wondering, “Why have You done this, Lord?” But do you know that the bus went round the corner, and it wasn't a couple of kilometres away when it had a head-on collision with a truck coming from the opposite direction, and the worst damage was right in the passenger seat, in the front row, right next to where the bus driver was seated. William Duma would have died instantly. It was not his time. Don't be afraid today, call upon the name of the Lord. He will send His angels to protect you. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

In this episode of The UK Flooring Podcast, Tom sits down with Luke Crooks, Managing Director of Solent Wholesale Carpets, an independent flooring wholesaler based on the South Coast.Luke shares the story of how his grandfather moved south after the war, started with carpet shops, and eventually built the wholesale business that the family still runs today. He talks about what it takes to stay relevant in a changing market, why service still matters more than being the cheapest, and how Solent has built a reputation for helping retailers, contractors and fitters when they need stock, support and answers quickly.This is a brilliant conversation for anyone in flooring who has ever felt the pressure of price, stock, supplier relationships, customer expectations or the temptation to chase every possible direction in business.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Solent Wholesale Carpets started as a family business nearly 60 years agoWhy wholesalers have had to adapt as retailers gained more direct access to manufacturersWhy Luke believes service, stock and reliability often matter more than saving a few poundsHow Solent supports customers with fast delivery, WhatsApp support and practical problem-solvingWhy flooring retailers should think carefully before filling their showroom with too many branded standsThe three non-negotiables Luke would focus on if he opened a flooring shopWhy sales skills matter just as much as flooring knowledge in retailHow debranding products can help retailers protect margin and reduce price comparisonWhy fitters, retailers, contractors and wholesalers often think the grass is greener elsewhereHow Solent handled Covid, supplier payments, stock challenges and customer demandWhy paying for good advice can save money in the long runWhat is next for Solent, including expansion into South EssexMemorable Quote:“Buying from a wholesaler is not all about price, it's about service.”Speaker Information:Luke CrooksManaging Director, Solent Wholesale CarpetsSolent Wholesale Carpets are an independently owned flooring wholesaler based in Chichester, supplying carpets, vinyl, LVT, wood, laminate, carpet tiles, underlay and accessories to the trade.

A little after 9am on Thursday, I boarded my first train of a journey that has become increasingly familiar over the years. It was my sixth visit to the convention, having first attended in 2019 before COVID forced a break, but I returned in 2022. It was also my fourth time making the journey by train. The first leg carried me from the South Coast to London Victoria, followed by a tube trip to London Euston and a welcome lunch break before the faster train north. By around 4pm, I was walking through the NEC halls once again, ready for another weekend at UK Games Expo 2026.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/06/uk-games-expo-2026-saturday-review/Useful LinksUK Games Expo: https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/Asmodee: https://www.asmodee.co.uk/Genie Games: https://geniegames.co/Peranakan: Tiles and Tactics review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/04/18/peranakan-tiles-and-tactics-saturday-review/Singapore Showdown review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/05/02/singapore-showdown-saturday-review/Play With Us Design: https://pwud.ga/en/Playte: https://www.playte.com/Saashi & Saashi: https://saashiandsaashi.com/enPunchboard: https://punchboard.co.uk/We're Not Wizards: https://www.werenotwizards.co.uk/Hachette Boardgames UK: https://www.hachetteboardgames.co.uk/Meeple Minded: https://www.youtube.com/@meeplemindedBastion Indie Market: https://market.bastiongames.co.uk/Treesap Games: https://www.playtheratrace.com/Dissent Games: https://dissentgames.com/Atikin Games: https://atikingames.com/Malus Hortus review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/04/05/malus-hortus-saturday-review/Bags for Dice: https://www.boardgamesolutions.co.uk/Korpi: https://korpiboardgame.com/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music I use: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: CENAO1UIHSRD5UHUArtist: : Yunior ArronteRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.comLicense code: PZYTHO8UFSGHQIXDArtist: : Yunior ArronteRoyalty Free Music: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: UYST0IDQ8HEBCCWIArtist: : Benjamin TissotRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicLicense code: 0HBDJ9AWSGELF4W3Artist: : Benjamin TissotSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The latest analysis of wildfires shows that last year the UK recorded its highest burned area on record, including the country's first documented ‘megafire' in Scotland, that's a fire which covers more than 10,000 hectares. Researchers from the University of East Anglia led a team of international scientists looking into last year's fires round the globe, they say wildfires are getting more extreme, costly and disastrous. Though less land was affected, globally the fires resulted in more than 300,000 evacuations and the deaths of more than 90 people. .A three million pound project backed by DEFRA which has been looking at how methane emissions can be reduced in sheep has announced its findings. Various breeds from Scotland to the South Coast were tested as part of the research which gathered data from thirteen and a half thousand lambs. The scientists involved in the “Breed for Change” programme hope sheep farmers will use their data to reduce their carbon footprint.All week we're focusing on farming in the uplands, places above a thousand feet, landscapes like the Brecon Beacons, the Peak District, and the Highlands: many of the most stunning places in the country, but because of their geography they're generally harder places to farm. MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are preparing a report on the challenges facing upland farmers in England and how the Government can best support them. It follows the publication of the Land Use Framework, which identified upland areas as places which could be most suitable for delivering climate and nature targets.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

What Buyers Should Know About Viewing Properties in Today's Market Buying a home is exciting but touring properties is about much more than simply walking through a front door and deciding whether you like the kitchen. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Melissa Wallace sat down with Boston Connect Real Estate agent Sue Bollinger to discuss what buyers should truly understand before scheduling showings, attending open houses, and making offers in today's competitive market. From understanding how online showing requests really work to why private showings matter and how buyers can protect themselves throughout the process, this conversation highlighted the importance of working with experienced real estate professionals every step of the way. The Reality Behind “Schedule a Tour” Buttons Most buyers begin their home search online. But according to Sue Bollinger, many buyers don't realize what actually happens when they click the “Schedule a Tour” button on large real estate websites. Many third-party real estate platforms are designed to generate leads not necessarily connect buyers directly with the listing agent. In many cases: Your information is sent to agents who pay for advertising The agent contacting you may know very little about the property You may unknowingly meet an agent for the very first time in a driveway before a showing The person you speak with may not represent the seller or you Sue explained that buyers often assume they are speaking directly with the listing agent when they are not. That is why it is so important to ask: Who does this agent represent? Are they representing the seller? Are they representing me? What type of agency relationship exists? Understanding representation before touring homes can help buyers avoid confusion and better protect their interests throughout the transaction. Why Buyers Should Have Representation Early One of the biggest themes throughout the show was the importance of working with a dedicated buyer's agent from the very beginning of the home search. A buyer's agent helps: Define your home search criteria Understand your budget Analyze comparable sales Identify property concerns Navigate negotiations Coordinate inspections Explain market value Protect your interests throughout the process As Sue explained during the show: “The listing agent's fiduciary responsibility is to the seller.” That means the listing agent's job is to secure the best possible price and terms for the seller not necessarily the buyer. Having your own representation ensures you have someone advocating for your side of the transaction. Private Showings Are Often the Best Way to View a Home While open houses can be convenient, Melissa and Sue both emphasized that private showings typically provide the best experience for buyers. Private showings allow buyers to: Move through the home at their own pace Ask detailed questions Focus without distractions Evaluate layout and functionality more carefully Have their agent point out important details Sue shared several real-world examples where buyers initially missed major concerns with properties until she toured the homes alongside them. Experienced agents often notice: Sloping floors Moisture issues Foundation concerns Structural problems Signs of deferred maintenance Heating or roofing issues Poor renovations or missing supports Sometimes what looks beautiful cosmetically can hide expensive issues underneath. That is why having a knowledgeable agent physically tour the property with you can make a significant difference. HGTV Isn't Real Life One of the most relatable moments during the show came when Melissa and Sue discussed unrealistic expectations created by television shows. Unlike TV, most buyers: Tour many homes Lose out on properties Adjust their wish lists Revisit properties multiple times Need patience throughout the process In today's market, it is completely normal for buyers to: See several homes before making an offer Tour the same property more than once Reevaluate priorities Compromise on certain features Buying a home is a major financial and emotional decision and it rarely happens as quickly as television makes it appear. All Decision Makers Should Attend Showings Another important point discussed during the episode was making sure all decision makers attend showings whenever possible. That includes: Spouses or partners Family members involved financially Anyone whose opinion will heavily influence the decision Why does this matter? Because it can delay the process when: One person loves the property Another person sees it later and disagrees Additional concerns surface after the fact Different people notice different things during a showing. One buyer may focus on layout, while another notices storage, traffic patterns, noise levels, or renovation needs. Having everyone involved early helps avoid unnecessary complications later. Buyers Should Pay Attention to More Than Cosmetics It is easy to get distracted by beautiful staging, fresh paint, or trendy finishes. But buyers should also pay close attention to: Roof age Heating systems Foundation condition Electrical updates Plumbing concerns Storage space Traffic patterns Noise levels Layout functionality Renovation costs Sue explained that cosmetic issues are often manageable, but large structural or mechanical issues can quickly become expensive. A buyer's agent can help distinguish between: Cosmetic updates Necessary repairs Major red flags This helps buyers make informed decisions while staying within their budget. Be Careful What You Say During Showings One of the most important modern realities buyers should understand is that many homes now have recording devices. These may include: Ring doorbells Interior cameras Smart home systems Baby monitors Audio devices Melissa and Sue stressed the importance of being careful about discussing: Offer strategy Budget Negotiation plans Concerns about pricing during showings or open houses. You never know who may overhear a conversation or what devices may be recording. The best practice? Save strategy discussions for private conversations with your agent after leaving the property. Flexibility Matters in Today's Market Another key takeaway from the conversation was that showing appointments revolve around more than just the buyer's schedule. Many homes are still occupied, which means sellers may be coordinating: Children Pets Work-from-home schedules Health concerns Multiple showing requests That means buyers may occasionally: Need to adjust schedules Wait for approvals Work within limited showing windows Being flexible and respectful can go a long way in securing opportunities to see desirable homes. Final Thoughts Touring homes is about much more than simply deciding whether you like a property. It is about: Understanding value Identifying potential risks Evaluating functionality Protecting your financial future Making informed decisions As Melissa Wallace and Sue Bollinger emphasized throughout the episode, having experienced representation can help buyers confidently navigate the entire process from the very first showing to the closing table.

#1009 | Ed and Dan recap United's comfortable win over Brighton on the South Coast. There was a little bit of liquid football to close out the season in an upbeat mood. With no Casemiro in the squad and Cunha on the bench, Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount started in what could easily have descended into an end-of-season dead rubber. Instead, this was the best way to close out the campaign, including Bruno's record-breaking 21st assist of the season. 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Carrick's Tactical Choices: Mount, Dorgu and the Midfield 03:25 What Do United Need in Midfield? 11:04 Dorgu: Big Spaces Player and the Right Profile? 16:21 The Squad Vibe and Carrick's Man-Management 20:16 Guardiola vs Fergie 30:49 England Squad: Tuchel's Selection 40:51 Summer Transfers: Fernandes, Tonali, Ederson If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our ⁠Patreon page⁠ or subscribe on ⁠Apple⁠ Podcasts.

Behind The Sale: What Your Agent Can Help You With Before, During & After The Sale Buying or selling a home is about so much more than putting a sign in the yard or scheduling an open house. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace pulled back the curtain on what truly happens “behind the sale” and the many ways a real estate agent helps clients before, during, and after a transaction. From coordinating inspections and gathering documents to managing timelines, solving unexpected problems, and protecting clients from risk and liability, a great real estate agent is constantly working behind the scenes to keep transactions moving smoothly. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a moving experience and that means guiding our clients every step of the way. Before the Home Hits the Market One of the biggest misconceptions in real estate is that selling a home simply means putting it online and waiting for offers. In reality, much of the work begins long before the property ever goes live. Understanding the Seller's Goals Before discussing pricing or marketing, Sharon explained that the first conversation always centers around understanding the client's goals, timeline, and motivation for moving. Questions often include: Why are you moving? Are you staying local? Are you downsizing? Are you relocating out of state? Do you need to buy before you sell? What timeline works best for your family? Sometimes the best advice is actually not to move. Melissa Wallace shared that there are situations where it makes more financial sense for homeowners to modify their existing home rather than give up a low interest rate or take on a more expensive monthly payment. That type of honest guidance is part of the value experienced agents provide. Preparing the Property for Market Before listing a home, agents help sellers gather critical documentation and identify potential issues before they become problems later in the transaction. Important Documents Sellers May Need: Plot plans Septic plans Title V inspections Solar agreements HOA documents Condo documents Permit records Closed permits Roof warranties Appliance warranties Mold remediation documentation Radon system information One example discussed during the show involved a property requiring a new septic system. Sharon coordinated directly with septic professionals and engineers to determine the best solution and prepare the property for market. This is one of the many behind-the-scenes responsibilities sellers may never fully see. Identifying Risk Before It Becomes a Problem Experienced agents are constantly looking ahead for potential issues that could impact the sale. That includes: Easements Shared driveways Boundary concerns Open permits Utility agreements Leased propane tanks Solar lease transfers Melissa Wallace explained how researching these items early allows agents to proactively address concerns instead of scrambling days before closing. As Sharon stated during the show: “It isn't about hiding anything, it's about disclosing everything that we know.” Transparency protects everyone involved in the transaction. Pricing Strategy Matters More Than Ever Pricing a home correctly is one of the most important responsibilities of a listing agent. Sharon explained that pricing is never simply based on emotion or guesswork. Agents analyze: Comparable sales Market trends Buyer demand Local inventory Seasonal timing Neighborhood activity And in today's market, conditions can change quickly. Melissa pointed out that buyers will immediately tell you if a property is overpriced or underpriced through showing activity and feedback. That is why strategic pricing and adjusting when necessary is critical to success. What Happens During the Sale Once a property officially hits the market, the behind-the-scenes work intensifies. Marketing the Property Agents coordinate: Professional photography Floor plans Video tours Social media marketing Email campaigns Open houses Broker open houses MLS exposure But marketing is not just about exposure it is about creating the right story for the right buyer. Managing Showings & Buyer Communication One of the most valuable things a listing agent does is communicate directly with buyer agents before and after showings. Sharon explained that she personally speaks with buyer agents to highlight important features buyers may otherwise overlook. Examples include: Hidden storage areas Laundry hookups Expansion potential Utility information Future renovation possibilities This helps buyers better understand the property while also helping buyer agents confidently present the home to their clients. Gathering Feedback & Solving Problems Sometimes a home receives strong traffic but no offers. That is where feedback becomes essential. Sharon shared an example of a property where buyers consistently commented about the lack of a second-floor bathroom. After speaking with agents and buyers directly, she adjusted the marketing conversation to focus on the home's renovation potential and possible future primary suite layout. This kind of problem-solving and market analysis happens constantly behind the scenes. Managing Deadlines & Keeping Transactions Together A real estate transaction includes countless moving parts and deadlines. Agents help coordinate: Deposit deadlines Inspection timelines Purchase & Sales deadlines Mortgage commitment dates Title V inspections Smoke inspections Final walkthroughs Closing coordination Sharon emphasized how important communication is throughout the process because even small delays can create major problems if deadlines are missed. Experienced agents are not simply reacting to problems they are actively trying to prevent them before they happen. Understanding Fair Housing & Legal Compliance Another major responsibility agents handle behind the scenes is ensuring all marketing and communication complies with Fair Housing laws. Even phrases many people think are harmless can violate fair housing regulations. For example: “Perfect family neighborhood” “Short walk to the beach” “Great for young couples” Real estate professionals must carefully analyze every listing description and marketing piece to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. This is another area where professional representation protects both buyers and sellers. Real Estate Is More Than a Transaction At the end of the day, great agents are not simply salespeople. They are: Problem solvers Project managers Negotiators Communicators Marketing professionals Compliance experts Trusted advisors As Sharon McNamara explained throughout the episode, real estate is about helping people navigate major life transitions with confidence and clarity. Final Thoughts There is an enormous amount of work happening behind every successful real estate transaction—much of which clients may never fully see.

Along with hearing about volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and gorgeous landscapes, one of the biggest things people associate with Iceland is how expensive it is. And honestly, that conversation comes up constantly. It's one of the most common questions when I am helping travelers planning their first trip here. Iceland has built a reputation online for being adventurous and fascinating, but also very expensive. And to be fair, it absolutely can be. Publications like Travel + Leisure have even ranked Iceland among the most expensive travel destinations in the world. From my perspective as someone who has lived in Iceland since 2016 and helped thousands of travelers through my podcast, social media channels, private consultations, and my in-depth video course, The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland, what stands out to me is this: most people don't create a realistic budget for Iceland. Inside This 5-Day Iceland Budget Guide Knowing where to start with Budgeting for 5-days in Iceland Why the Season You Visit Changes Your Entire Budget What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Flights to Iceland Accommodations: The Biggest Budget Variable Rental Cars & Iceland’s New Road Tax How to Save on Renting a Car and Camper Van in Iceland The Hidden Iceland Expense Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Food Costs in Iceland Activities & Tours: What to Expect Use Discount Codes Strategically to Save Money Unexpected Costs Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budgets by Season Winter Budget Breakdown Shoulder Season Budget Breakdown Summer Budget Breakdown Knowing Where to Start with Budgeting a 5-day Trip for Iceland I think that people don’t always create a realistic budget for Iceland because they don’t know where to start. Travelers are often unsure about  how much to set aside for accommodations, activities, rental cars, food, parking, or even how much the season changes everything. So instead of just throwing random numbers at you, I want to walk you through how I would personally budget for a 5-day trip to Iceland depending on your travel style, the season, and the choices you make while you're here. Because the reality is that a 5-day trip to Iceland could cost one person around $1,300 and another person over $4,000 — and both of them could still have incredible experiences. The Season You Visit Iceland Changes Everything If there's one thing I really want travelers to understand before budgeting for Iceland, it's this: the season you visit impacts almost every single part of your trip. That includes accommodations, rental cars, flights, activities, and even how you spend your time while traveling. I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that the exact same hotel room can literally double or triple in price depending on the month. For example, a hotel room that costs around $120 per night in winter can easily jump to $250–350 per night in summer. Same room. Same location. Same hotel. The only thing that changed is the season. Now, I don't say that to scare anyone. There are also unique events that can create unusually high prices, like the 2026 total solar eclipse in Iceland, where some accommodations are charging thousands of dollars per night because demand is so intense. That's not the normal reality for Iceland travel, but it does show how much seasonality and demand affect pricing here. Rental cars work exactly the same way. In summer, demand skyrockets, and travelers are often shocked by how quickly prices increase if they wait too long to book. What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Another huge part of budgeting for Iceland is understanding the type of trip you actually want to have. I think social media sometimes makes this harder because people see inspiration online and accidentally start comparing their budget to someone else's completely different trip. Maybe you want to see the Northern Lights, but you're planning to come in summer, which, by the way, isn't possible because the sun barely sets. Maybe you want to base yourself in Reykjavík and do day trips, or maybe you want to road trip around the country and stay in multiple places. Perhaps you want to rent a camper van or stay in luxury hotels for part of the trip because you're celebrating something special. All of those decisions affect your budget. One thing I regularly help people understand during my private video consultations is that Iceland often looks much smaller on the map than it actually is once you start driving around it. For example, if someone wants to stay in Reykjavík the whole trip but also drive to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, I explain that this is about a five-hour drive one way. That's ten hours of driving in a single day before you even stop at waterfalls, black sand beaches, or anywhere else along the route. That's why route planning matters so much in Iceland, not only for your sanity but also for your budget. Flights to Iceland – Cost per Season Flights to Iceland fluctuate constantly depending on the season, where you're flying from, how early you book, and global fuel prices. For winter, flights are often around $400–700 roundtrip, while summer flights can range from $600–1,200 or even higher. And honestly, airfare pricing lately has become even harder to predict because of global fuel market instability and international conflicts affecting energy prices. Those things trickle into airline pricing too, so whenever I give ranges for Iceland travel costs, I always want people to understand that these numbers are based on averages and trends, not guarantees. One thing I personally recommend is signing up for airline email lists, like Icelandair or Delta Air Lines, because they regularly send flight sales. I also use Google Flights to track pricing trends, and you'd honestly be surprised how much prices can fluctuate from one week to another. Accommodations in Iceland: The Biggest Budget Variable Accommodation is usually where people underestimate costs the most. For budget accommodations like hostels, guesthouses, smaller rooms, or shared bathroom situations, you're generally looking at around $400–700 total for five nights in winter and about $700–1,400+ in summer. For mid-range accommodations, such as private hotel rooms, apartments, or guesthouses with private bathrooms, winter pricing is usually somewhere around $700–1,400 for five nights, while summer can jump to $1,200–2,000+. And yes, summer pricing really can get that high. If you're considering a camper van, that can sometimes help reduce accommodation costs, though prices vary dramatically depending on the vehicle and the season. I always recommend booking accommodations as early as possible for summer travel. Honestly, if you can plan a year in advance, that's ideal. Six months minimum is usually what I suggest if possible. Rental Cars Cost & Iceland's New Road Tax If you're planning to leave Reykjavík, I strongly recommend considering a rental car because it gives you so much flexibility. Winter rental prices for a smaller car are often around $120–150 per day, while SUVs are closer to $170–180 per day. In summer, smaller cars can easily be $150–200+, and SUVs can go even higher depending on the size and capability of the vehicle. For a five-day trip, many travelers spend somewhere between $600–1,200+ once you include gas and insurance. And there's another thing travelers now need to budget for. Starting in 2026, Iceland implemented a kilometer-based road tax system that applies to vehicles, including rental cars. Iceland Kilometer Fee Information Most travelers won't calculate this themselves because rental companies typically include it either as a per-kilometer fee or as a flat daily charge. For example, Go Car Rental Iceland currently charges approximately €10.50 per day as a flat mandatory road tax fee. Fuel prices in Iceland have lowered somewhat since the road tax was introduced, but global events still impact fuel pricing significantly. How to Save on Renting a Car & Camper Van in Iceland Through my discount links with Go Car Rental Iceland and Go Campers, you can save 7% on your rental. Go Car also includes free 4G WiFi, while Go Campers includes a free sleeping bag. And honestly, the WiFi is incredibly useful because you can check weather, road conditions, maps, email, WhatsApp, and social media while driving around Iceland You can head to gorentals.is/allthingsiceland Once you enter your travel dates, the 7% discount is automatically applied. For Go Car:When you get to the extras section, select 4G WiFi. You'll see the price stays the same, even though it has been added.  For Go Campers:Choose a sleeping bag under the “extras” section, and same thing, the total price won't increase. And just so you know, using my link gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you're supporting All Things Iceland and the content I create. So thank you for that. The Hidden Expense in Iceland that Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Many waterfalls, black sand beaches, scenic viewpoints, geothermal areas, and hiking spots now charge for parking. This is especially in popular areas like the Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and downtown Reykjavík. I've seen this change a lot over the years since I moved here in 2016. There were many places that used to have completely free parking, but because of the increase in tourism, road maintenance, parking lot maintenance, and of course landowners wanting to make money, parking fees have become much more common. I usually recommend budgeting around $80 USD total for parking during a 5-day trip depending on how much driving you're doing. You can also use the Parka app to look up parking fees in advance, which can help a lot with planning. If you're unsure where to go or how to organize your route efficiently, I highly recommend checking out My Iceland Map on Rexby. It includes 350+ personally recommended locations around Iceland that I've visited and enjoyed myself. Food Costs in Iceland Food absolutely adds up in Iceland if you eat every meal out. A casual restaurant meal is usually around $20–35 per person, while a nicer dinner can easily be $40–80+. Coffee and a pastry are often around $10–15, and cocktails in Reykjavík can easily cost over $20 each. For five days, I'd say a budget traveler who cooks some meals or makes sandwiches could probably spend around $150–300, while a mid-range traveler who eats out more regularly could spend around $300–700+. One of my favorite budget hacks is booking accommodations with breakfast included. Then you can eat a larger breakfast, make sandwiches or grab snacks for later, and only pay for dinner out. For groceries, Bónus is generally the cheapest option, while Krónan is another great alternative. And surprisingly, IKEA Iceland is one of the cheapest places to sit down and eat a full meal in Iceland. I’m not suggesting that you eat at IKEA every day but I just think it is fun to share that random information. What to Budget for Activities & Tours in Iceland This category really depends on what type of traveler you are. Some people are perfectly happy exploring waterfalls, scenic drives, geothermal areas, and hiking trails, which can keep costs relatively low. Others want glacier hikes, snorkeling, whale watching, ice caves, and snowmobiling. All of these activities can add up quickly. The Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are generally around $100–150+, glacier hikes are around $100–200+, whale watching tours around $118–150+, and ice cave tours can range from $150–300+ depending on the experience. One of my favorite lower-cost alternatives to the major lagoons is going to a local swimming pool like Laugardalslaug. It has Olympic-sized pools, hot tubs, a cold plunge, slides, and it gives you a chance to experience Icelandic swimming pool culture alongside locals for a fraction of the cost of the lagoons. And if you love museums, there are actually certain times of year when you can visit many for free during events like Winter Lights Festival in February and Menningarnótt (Culture Night) in August. Use Discount Codes & Links to Save Money in Iceland One of the easiest ways to save money in Iceland is by not paying full price when you don't have to. My free Iceland Discount Code Bundle includes discounts for rental cars, camper vans, tours, activities, hotels, outerwear, and more. Most tour discounts are around 10% off, and when you apply those savings across multiple activities, it really does make a noticeable difference in your final trip budget. Always Leave Room for Unexpected Costs This is honestly one of my biggest Iceland budgeting tips overall: always leave room for flexibility. Weather changes quickly in Iceland, and road conditions can shift plans unexpectedly. That could mean rerouting, staying somewhere an extra night, changing accommodations, or adjusting activities because of storms or warnings. Whenever possible, I recommend keeping a few hundred dollars of flexibility in your budget if you can. It just makes the trip feel significantly less stressful. Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budget by Season For winter travel between November and March (excluding holidays), a budget traveler is usually looking at around $1,300–2,000, while a mid-range traveler is closer to $1,800–2,700. Winter tends to be cheaper because hotel demand is lower, rental cars are less expensive, and there are fewer crowds. The trade-off, of course, is less daylight and more unpredictable weather. For summer, budget travelers are usually spending around $1,800–3,000, while mid-range travelers are closer to $2,500–4,000+. Summer costs rise because of peak tourism demand, midnight sun season, easier travel conditions, Highlands access, and limited accommodations. The biggest reason I wanted to make this episode was honestly to help people manage expectations. Iceland can absolutely be expensive. But once you understand how seasonality works, where your biggest expenses are, and how to budget realistically, it becomes much easier to create a trip that works for your finances and travel style. And honestly, being informed ahead of time makes Iceland feel so much less overwhelming. The Random Fact of the Episode Did you know that Iceland has around 41 active volcanic systems — including volcanoes beneath the ocean? According to Náttúra Íslands (Natt.is), a volcano is considered “active” if it has erupted within the last 11,000–12,000 years, which is actually pretty recent in geological terms. The most active volcanic system in Iceland is called Grímsvötn, located in Southeast Iceland. It has erupted on average about once every decade over the last thousand years. Meanwhile, Iceland's largest volcanic system is Bárðarbunga, and many of the country's enormous lava fields were created from eruptions there. What's also fascinating is that volcanic systems in Iceland are often made up of: a central volcano, plus a fissure swarm, all connected to a shared underground magma chamber deep within the Earth's crust. Which honestly explains why Iceland can sometimes feel like you're standing on another planet. Icelandic Word of the Episode ferðakostnaður — travel expenses or cost of travel Pronunciation: FEHR-tha-kost-na-thur This felt like the perfect word for this episode because honestly… that's exactly what we've been talking about the entire time.  In Icelandic: ferð = trip/journey kostnaður = cost/expense So together: ferðakostnaður = the cost of traveling. Example: “Ferðakostnaður á Íslandi getur verið hár á sumrin.” “Travel costs in Iceland can be high during the summer.” And trust me… Icelanders definitely understand this too, especially when traveling around their own country during peak season.

There are places in Iceland that are easy to visit. And then there are places that require a bit more effort, but reward you in ways you honestly don't expect. I'm sharing 5 places across the country that are absolutely worth the detour. These aren't your typical Golden Circle stops. These are the kinds of places that make people say: “Wait… THIS was in Iceland?!” If you're planning a trip and want to go beyond the basics, this list is for you. Table of Contents How to Reach These Places (Car & Camper Van Tips) Látrabjarg (Westfjords) Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) Hveradalir (Highlands) Plan Your Trip with My Iceland Map Westman Islands / Vestmannaeyjar (South Iceland) Siglufjörður (North Iceland) Sample Route Using These 5 Detours Random Fact of the Episode Icelandic Word of the Episode How to Reach These Places (And Save on Your Rental) Let's be real for a second. To visit places like these, especially the Westfjords, Highlands, and North Iceland, you'll need your own vehicle. Public transport won't get you to most of these locations, and guided tours often don't go this far off the beaten path. That's where having the right rental car or camper van makes all the difference. I personally use and recommend: Go Car Rental Iceland Go Campers I've partnered with them for years because: They have a wide variety of vehicles (from small cars to fully equipped campers) Their customer service is amazing And they make it easy to travel around Iceland confidently How to Save + Get Free Extras When you use my link:gorentals.is/allthingsiceland You'll automatically get: 7% off your rental Plus some really helpful extras Here's exactly what to do: For Go Car Rental: Click the link and enter your travel dates The 7% discount is automatically applied When you get to “Insurance & Extras” Select 4G WiFiYou'll see the price does not increase, it stays the same For Go Campers: Click the same link and choose your camper The 7% discount is automatically applied Under the “Sleeping” section Select a sleeping bag Again, the price stays the same It's one of those little things that makes a big difference when you're traveling around Iceland. 1. Látrabjarg (Westfjords) If you're craving something remote, raw, and wildly beautiful, this is it. Látrabjarg is the westernmost point of Iceland, and is known for its dramatic sea cliffs and incredible birdlife. Why Látrabjarg worth the detour: One of the best places in Iceland to see puffins up close Massive cliffs stretching for kilometers A true “edge of the world” feeling Important tips: The road can be rough, so take it slow Best visited in summer (June–mid August for puffins) Not recommended in winter, late fall or early spring. You can use a 2wd to get here but a 4×4 makes the trip easier and smoother. This is exactly the type of destination where having the right vehicle matters. 2. Seyðisfjörður (East Iceland) This town feels like stepping into a completely different side of Iceland. The drive into Seyðisfjörður alone is unforgettable. The winding road down a mountain pass into a peaceful fjord surrounded by waterfalls is incredible. What makes Seyðisfjörður special: Eclectic, artistic vibe The iconic
