Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales

Step into the enigmatic world of Gravity Hills on this intriguing episode. Join us as we explore the mind-bending phenomena that have baffled scientists and captivated thrill-seekers for generations.  What surrounds these mystical events?  Some believe its the spirits of indigenous people that are protecting people from danger.  Others think it may be the children from a bus crash that don't want others to meet the same fate. We kick off our journey in Florida  in a little place called Spook Hill. Next, we jump to the shadows of the stunning Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the notorious Gravity Hill defies the laws of gravity.  Discover how subtle slopes, combined with clever visual cues, create the "illusion" of objects defying gravity.Our adventure continues to the bustling streets of Los Angeles, California, where another Gravity Hill beckons intrepid explorers. We'll delve into the fascinating history of this urban legend and hear firsthand accounts from those who've witnessed the surreal spectacle.As we consider the various theories behind these phenomena, we'll explore the spectrum of beliefs, from skeptics dismissing them as mere optical illusions to those who find deeper meaning in these natural anomalies. Could there be connections to otherworldly forces or is it simply a trick of the eye?

263 FLORIDA: Op ad bakke med globetrottende advokat Cynthia

Radiovagabond med Palle Bo fra rejse hele verden rundt

Et varmt hello fra solrige Florida, USA. En af de fantastiske ting ved CouchSurfing er, at man får venner rundt omkring i hele verden. Faktisk er dette møde et eksempel på, at man også kan blive venner med sine venners venner. Da jeg CouchSurfede gennem New England lærte jeg Jason at kende ved et CouchCrash i Connecticut. Og nu, hvor jeg var ankommet til Florida, spurgte jeg ham, om han kendte nogen her, jeg burde møde. Svaret var et højt og rungende: ”Ja, du skal helt bestemt møde Cynthia!” Så efter jeg fik kontakt med hende, arrangerede vi at mødes ved den smukke Lake Wales, præcis i midten af den solrige stat. Hun bor i nærheden, og da jeg ankommer, ser jeg en kvinde siddende på en bænk iført en sydafrikansk cowboyhat. Noget sagde mig, at dette måtte være ”Cynthia Globe”. Vi udveksler en varm Corona-krammer og jeg sætter hende straks på arbejde, ved at bede hende om at fortælle mig lidt fakta om hvor vi er. FAKTA OM DENNE DEL AF FLORIDA (IFØLGE CYNTHIA) 1. LAKE WAILES VAR EN STRAND Cynthia fortæller mig at denne sø faktisk engang var ved kysten – tilbage i dinosaurernes tid. Så undergrunden her er meget anderledes end resten af Florida. 2. BYEN WALES / SØEN WAILES Tæt på søen Lake Wailes ligger der en by, der hedder Lake Wales. Det underlige er, at de to er stavet forskelligt. I det tidlige 1900-tal fik søen sit navn Lake Wailes. Om der er tale om en ordblind offentlig ansat står hen i det uvisse. 3. LANDLIGT For 30 år siden havde byen kun omkring 10.000 indbyggere og kun ét trafiklys. Nu er der omkring 18.000 mennesker og lidt flere lyskryds. 4. CENTRALT Lake Wales ligger lige midt i Florida. Det er omkring en time syd fra Orlando og tæt på fire timer fra Miami. Der er omkring en time til kysten – både til øst- og vestkysten.   Cynthia har en halskæde med et verdenskort, som en påmindelse om, hvilken globetrotter hun er. Indtil videre har hun været i 117 lande og samtlige 50 stater. Og hun har absolut ingen planer om at lægge sit pas i skuffen lige foreløbigt. Vi taler om, hvor fantastisk det er, at mødes her, efter at være blevet introduceret af en fælles CouchSurfing ven. ”For mig er noget andet og meget mere end blot at låne en sofa at overnatte på. Det handler meget mere om de mennesker man møder. Jeg har personligt mødt mere end 1100 mennesker gennem CouchSurfing – ja, jeg tæller mange ting… ikke kun lande. Jeg har været på CouchSurfing i meget lang tid og er faktisk en af bare fem CouchSurfing Ambassadører i USA. Vi tror helhjertet på det med at samle verden én ven ad gangen”. TRILLER OP AD SPOOK HILL Efter vores snak ved søen ville Cynthia vise mig Spook Hill, en halvberømt attraktion på disse kanter. Spook Hill er en bakke, der skulle være mystisk og uhyggelig – hvad angår tyngdekraften. Det siges, at biler triller op ad bakke, når man holder i bunden og sætter bilen i frigear. Cynthia ville have mig til at se det med egne øjne. Da vi træder ud af bilen, er mine første ord: ”Wow, ja den bakke går helt sikkert op ad”. ”Gør den det?”, spørger Cynthia med et sigende grin. Ved foden af den uhyggelige bakke er der et skilt, der fortæller legenden (ved siden af en tegning af et spøgelse): ”Ages ago, an Indian Torn on Lake Wailes lake was plagued with raids by a Huge Gator. The town's Great Warrior Chief and the gator was killed in the Final Battle that created the huge swampy depression nearby. The chief was buried on its north side. Later, pioneer haulers coming from the foot of the old army trail atop the ridge above found their horses laboring here… at the foot of the ridge … and called it Spook Hill. Is it the gator seeking revenge or the chief protecting his land??? Skiltet fortsætter: “Stop bilen ved den hvide streg, sæt den i frigear og se den rulle baglæns”. Og det gjorde jeg så. Jeg stoppede ved den hvide streg i bunden af bakken. Satte bilen i frigear og så bredte uhyggen sig, da jeg trillede lagsomt baglæns op ad bakken. Det var virkelig ”spooky”. Eller var det mon blot synsbedrag? Se denne video og lad mig høre, hvad du tænker. COUCHSURFING Lad os tale lidt mere om CouchSurfing. Jeg er sikker på, at faste lyttere allerede ved det, men her er et par ord – i tilfælde af, at du har levet under en sten. CouchSurfing.com er en online platform, hvor du kan overnatte hos en fremmed. Der er ingen penge, der skifter hænder, men du giver måske en lille have, en middag eller ”betaler” blot ved at fortælle en historie, synge en sang eller på anden vis være en interessant gæst. Normalt sover du ikke på en sofa, som navnet ellers indikerer. Af de mere end 50 gange, jeg har overnattet hos nogen, har jeg kun én gang sovet på en sofa. Og det var en stor en – på en blåbærfarm i Maine. Det vigtigste ved CouchSurfing er, at man som gæst møder spændende lokale – og at man som vært møder spændende rejsende fra spændende steder i verden. Det er en fed platform og et fantastisk værktøj for sådan en som mig. (COUCH)SURFER PÅ EN PANDEMI-BØLGE Naturligvis har Couchsurfing også haft problemer under Corona-pandemien. Derfor har de fornylig bedt deres brugere i USA om en hjælpende økonomisk hånd for at holde platformen i live. Det har vokset meget siden Cynthia blev en del af det tilbage i 2007. Her var der omkring 100.000 medlemmer, og hun kendte de fleste enten direkte eller ud i fjerde led (“four degrees of separation”). Dengang var der så få, at det kunne lade sig gøre, at vide, hvordan hvert medlem var forbundet. Siden er det vokset eksplosivt og der er i dag så mange, at man ikke kan kende alle – end ikke i flere led. Med så meget større trafik er det heller ikke muligt at blive ved med at gøre det gratis. Cynthia fortæller, at de har seks servere I Indien, der kører store mængder data igennem hver dag. Og den slags koster penge. ”Det er klart, at det ikke var alle, der var tilfredse med disse ændringer. Der var dem, der mente, at det ændrede den frie ”spirit”. Hertil kommer, at pandemien har haft en negativ effekt på Couchsurfing samfundet på grund af de mange rejserestriktioner og social afstand. Så hjemmesiden har skulle gennemgå mange ændringer. Jeg håber meget på, at Couchsurfing.com kommer ud på den anden side meget stærkere. Og jeg troler meget på den overordnede mission: At samle verden”. Det er ikke meget hver enkelt bruger skal betale for at holde siden i live. Kun omkring 15 dollars om året. MULTITALENTET CYNTHIA Cynthia og jeg sludrer meget om hendes baggrund og om, hvordan det lykkedes hende at sikre sig et stipendium til en eksklusiv skole i Kensington i Storbritannien. Og det var mere end eksklusivt … hendes lærer var parlamentsmedlem i det britiske parlament og gennem ham kom hun til at møde den daværende Premierminister, Minister Margaret Thatcher. Vores samtale bevægede sig fra skole til rejser – både tidligere og nuværende. Og vi kommer langt omkring. Fra oplevelser i Swaziland (Eswatini), til ture til bade Nordpolen og Sydpolen – og en sjov historie med et toilet på en ekspedition hertil. For at få alle historierne skal du lytte til episoden – og det skal du helt sikkert gøre. Cynthia er en fantastisk person og det var både sjovt, hyggeligt og inspirerende at møde hende. Vi talte også lidt om hendes planer om nye rejser nu, hvor restriktionerne er ved at blive løftet. Vores møde var for et par måneder siden, i august i år. Og siden har hun faktisk været på en tur til Balkan regionen. Hun besøgte otte lande på fire måneder – hvoraf seks var nye for hende. Hun er dermed på 123 besøgte lande. Og nu taler vi seriøst om at besøge Uganda og Kenya sammen. Så hvem ved om der bliver en “Podcast 2.0 fra Nairobi”. Du kan følge Cynthia på Facebook som Cynthia Globe (Globetrotting LadyLawyer Cynthia). Mit navn er Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.   COVID-19 RESTRIKTIONER TIL USA Overvejer du en tur til USA?

A warm hello from sunny Florida, USA. The glorious thing about the CouchSurfing community is that you get to make friends all over the world. In fact, the community is so warm that you also get to meet their friends (and friends of friends), too. When I CouchSurfed through Connecticut I got to know Jason and the ConnectiCouch crew. When I came to Florida, I asked him if they knew of anyone's couch I could crash on when I'm here. The answer was “Yes, you absolutely must meet Cynthia when you're in Florida!”. So, after making contact with her we arranged to meet at the beautiful Lake Wales, smack in the middle of Florida. She lives close by, and I told her I would wait for her on a lakeside bench. When I arrived, I saw a woman sitting on a nearby bench wearing a South African cowboy hat. Something told me this was Cynthia. Of course, it was her. We exchanged warm Florida greetings and I immediately put her to task by asking her to tell me some interesting facts about where we were.   INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THIS PART OF FLORIDA 1. LAKE WAILES WAS A BEACH  Cynthia tells me that when the dinosaurs were roaming the earth, the area that is now Lake Wales was actually a beach, so the geology of the region is very unique from the rest of Florida. 2. WALES TOWN/WAILES LAKE The town of Lake Wales is spelt differently from the actual lake of Lake Wailes. In the 1800s the town was served and given the name Lake Wales. Then, in the early 1900s when the area was plotted, they named the lake, Lake Wailes.  3. RURAL  30 years ago, the town only had 10,000 people and one traffic light. Today, they have around 18,000 people and a few more traffic lights. 4. CENTRAL Lake Wales is very centrally located. It is about an hour south of Orlando and close to four hours from Miami. Each coastline is about an hour east/west. Cynthia wears a necklace that is a world map as a reminder of her spirit of adventure. She has travelled to 117 countries so far, all 50 US states, and isn't planning on stopping anytime soon. We were talking about cool it was to meet up at the suggestion of our mutual CouchSurfing friends.  “For me, CouchSurfing isn't about the couch it's about the people you meet along the way. I have been blessed to meet over 1100 people in person. I have been CouchSurfing for a long time, and I am actually one of the CouchSurfing ambassadors for the United States, together with Jason and three others. We really believe in the power of community and connecting the world one person at a time”. ROLLING UP SPOOK HILL After our lakeside chat/meet ‘n greet, Cynthia and I got into our cars and headed for Spook Hill, a famous attraction in this part of Florida. Spook Hill is a gravity hill, an optical illusion that makes viewers believe that cars seemingly roll uphill, defying the laws of gravity. When I got there, I could see with my own eyes that the hill goes up.  “Wow, it really is big and definitely is going up,” I said. “Is it?” Cynthia asked with a knowing grin. The sign at the foot of Spook Hill tells the story of the legend (next to a drawing of a ghost): “Ages ago, an Indian Torn on Lake Wailes lake was plagued with raids by a Huge Gator. The town's Great Warrior Chief and the gator was killed in the Final Battle that created the huge swampy depression nearby. The chief was buried on its north side. Later, Pioneer Haulers coming from the foot of the old army trail atop the ridge above found their horses laboring here… at the foot of the ridge … and called it Spook Hill. Is it the gator seeking revenge or the chief protecting his land???” And then the sign says: “Stop the car on the white line, place it in neutral and let it roll back.” I did just that. I stopped at the white line at the bottom of the hill. I placed it in neutral and low and behold…it rolled back. Really spooky. Or could it be just an optical illusion? Check it out for yourself on this video. COUCHSURFING Let's talk a little bit about CouchSurfing. I'm sure most of you know what it is but for the uninitiated:  It's an online platform called CouchSurfing.com where you can either host or stay with someone. No money changes hands: you pay with a little gift, a dinner, or simply by telling a story, singing a song or being a great guest. Usually, you don't really spend the night on a couch. In the 50+ times I've CouchSurfed, I've only slept on a couch once. And that was a big one – on a blueberry farm in Maine.  The most important thing is that you get to meet amazing locals and as a host, you get to meet some interesting people from around the world. It's such a great platform. (COUCH)SURFING THE PANDEMIC WAVE Obviously, it's also been tough for CouchSurfing during the Pandemic. Recently, they have had to ask users in their home market USA to pay a little bit to keep the platform alive. The community has grown very rapidly since it started. When Cynthia joined in 2007, there were roughly 100,000 people on the site. She knew almost all of them either through direct contact or by four degrees of separation. They used to have aviators on the site displaying how each member was connected.  Since then, the community has grown so big that we have unfortunately lost the sense of a close-knit community. With more traffic to the site and the growing demand, it is also impossible to expect the site to run for free. She tells me that she heard, they have about six servers in India: that is A LOT of data which costs money. As an unpaid CouchSurfing ambassador, I asked Cynthia if she could talk a little bit about this. “As soon as we introduced payment on the site, it of course changed the nature of the experience and divided the community as many people felt it lost its spirit. On top of this, the pandemic has negatively affected the CouchSurfing community due to travel restrictions and social distancing. So, the site is undergoing changes at the moment. I hope that the CouchSurfing community will come out of this stronger and better. And I still believe in the core mission of the initiative: to connect the world.” It's really not a lot to pay to keep the CouchSurfing community alive, it's only around $15 a year, which, for what it gives you, is really nothing.  MULTITALENTED CYNTHIA Cynthia and I chatted a lot about her background and how she was ended up securing a full-ride scholarship to an exclusive school in Kensington, UK. Well, a step further than exclusive... her teacher was a member of the British parliament and she got to meet then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Our conversation meandered from school and travel, the past and the future. Even about her travels to Swaziland (Eswatini), and both Antarctica and the Antarctic – and the funny restroom situation they have on the expeditions there. This is definitely an episode you want to listen to. Cynthia is a really remarkable person and it was so fun chatting to her and getting inspired by her ambitious and warm spirit. We even talked about plans for her to travel again when the travel restrictions ease a bit. This episode was recorded in August 2021 and Cynthia actually did get to travel to the Balkans in September. She visited eight countries in four weeks, including six new countries, bringing her Country Count to 123. And we are actually seriously talking about doing a trip to Kenya and Uganda soon. So, who knows if there's going to be a “Podcast 2.0 from Nairobi”. You can follow Cynthia on Facebook as Cynthia Globe (Globetrotting LadyLawyer Cynthia). My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See ya.   COVID-19 TRAVEL and TOURISM RULES FOR USA (AUG 2021) This episode is from August 2021.

This week we reflect on the SA economy in the wake of the announcement that coal mining at Leigh Creek is closing much faster than anticipated. We'll track the history of Leigh Creek, look for economic development lessons and turn to other parts of our economy for signs of growth or for fertile patches that need incubation. And we'll do this with the help of: Lesley Williams and Simon Zappia from Botanica Boutique (Lesley will also provide our music tonight through her band More And More) And economic development consultant, Brian Hales In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests us on the theme, Mining. Max Martin notes: "Exercise will certainly increase creativity for writing, and if more motivation is needed, it also increases libido!" George Inglis reflects on the downturn of mining and the protest against plans for Martindale Hall. Our SA Drink of the week is from Spook Hill. In the Adelaide Visa Council, we'll try to untangle an ambiguous tweet. But first, David Washington from In Daily presents his midweek news wrap, Talk Of The Town.

This week we avoid the parks because of the Easter holiday chaos. Instead of the normal stuff, we went to the historic Bok sanctuary. Enjoy some nature, hear some history and sit bact and enjoy the music of the bell tower! My favorite song is around 28:30 or so! After Bok Tower, we head over to Spook Hill where you can stop your car on a line and it'll roll backwards up a small hill. It's really an amazing place!
