Australian golfer Cameron Percy joins Garrett Johnston the week of the new Jefferson Lehigh Valley Classic and they get into what he loves about playing the PGA Tour Champions, reminisicing of playing against his good friend Geoff Ogilvy in his amateur days, and the fun highlights of his pro career. Percy shares how special it was to see his friend Ogilvy lead the International team at the Presidents Cup last week and tells a number of fun stories from his career including the time he played a practice round for the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews with Tom Watson,

Dr. Keith Jagger is a university chaplain, Dean of Christian Formation and Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at John Brown University — a private Christian university in Arkansas. Dr. Jagger provides leadership for the ongoing spiritual growth of the university community. He holds a masters degree in New Testament from Asbury Theological Seminary (which I mention so I can give Asbury a shout-out) a certificate in Formative Spirituality from Epiphany Academy (led by Dr. Susan Muto) and a PhD in Early Christianity from the University of St Andrews, where N.T. Wright was his advisor. We're talking with Dr. Jagger about Thomas Merton, the 20th century Trappist monk who lived as a resident of the Abbey of Gethsemane in Kentucky for 27 years and as a willing hermit for the final three years of his life.Thomas Merton was devoted to contemplative prayer and mysticism, always seeking a more direct, wordless communion with God. He wrestled with the Jesus prayer, which we'll explore in another episode, and with uncertainty and humility and trust. This is what led him to write what we now call Merton's Prayer of Unknowing, published in his book, Thoughts in Solitude. 

This meditation is about the art of stillness and clarity. It is very much a third eye chakra meditation. In this busy world where we are bombarded with information being discerning is more important than ever... Discernment is an act of will - a place of choice, decision making and looking beneath what is obvious. We need to feel into this part of us. The word derives from the Latin to separate. So we are looking at separating the voice of fear from the voice of truth, external expectations from internal alignment, temporary from long term. In this meditation you will find yourself on a path with a fork in the road - two options within your life. How does the body respond to each path, what comes up for you as you step a foot onto each path... In this meditation we are practising the art of discernment without concerning ourselves with the outcome, training ourselves to listen to the wisdom of the body.Much loveRosanne xxTo find free resources and ways to work with me go to chakra-way.comDownload your Nervous System First Aid Kit hereTo support the podcast and show your love please click hereTo join the Slow & Restore Retreat in St Andrews on 21st/22nd November please click hereOr simply message me directly Hosted on Acast.

In the first episode of Golf Club Talk UK Stories, and a Himalayas Golf partner episode, Leighton is joined by Eddie Pelz, son of legendary golf instructor, inventor and innovator Dave Pelz, for a fascinating conversation about a lifetime spent around the game of golf.  The interview took place in Scotland around the Scottish Open. Eddie shares the story of growing up around his father's work, from helping test early short-game concepts with golfers including Tom Kite to becoming a mechanical engineer, product developer and eventually a key part of the Pelz Golf operation. He explains how his father's scientific and analytical approach helped shape many of the principles that are still central to short-game instruction today. A major theme of the conversation is the importance of the short game, with Eddie explaining why the Pelz philosophy places such emphasis on wedges, putting, chipping and bunker play. He discusses why golfers should balance their practice rather than simply hitting balls on the range, and explains how building a structured practice framework can help golfers understand their game and improve more effectively. Eddie also looks back at some of the innovations developed by Dave Pelz, including the 60-degree wedge, learning aids, putting technology and work examining grooves and equipment performance. He explains how his own role evolved from engineer and product developer to supporting the wider Pelz teaching operation, including the famous three-day schools that remain central to the business. The conversation then moves into one of the most fascinating projects in the Pelz story: Pelz Backyard. Designed to create a serious short-game practice environment at home, the backyard incorporates green complexes inspired by some of the world's most famous holes, including Augusta National, TPC Sawgrass, Pebble Beach, St Andrews and Whistling Straits. Eddie explains the thinking behind the design, how the facility performs and why it has proved so popular with both elite players and recreational golfers. Eddie also discusses the development of artificial turf and the patented Shot Stopper technology created through the Pelz Backyard project. Working with Himalayas Golf, he is now helping explore how smaller, high-quality practice facilities can be used to make golf easier to access, reduce barriers to practice and ultimately help grow participation in the game. The episode also takes us behind the scenes of a more recent project with Sir Nick Faldo, where Eddie and his team helped create a substantial home practice facility in Montana. From short-game areas and revetted bunkers to multiple tee positions and longer shots, Eddie explains how the facility gives a player of Faldo's calibre the opportunity to practise seriously without even leaving home. Alongside the technical discussion, Eddie reflects on the wider appeal of golf — its social side, the physical benefits of walking the course, the characters within the game and the importance of making golf more enjoyable and accessible. From following professional golfers around a tournament (including Patrick Reed) to understanding the mental and physical demands of elite short-game play, this is a wide-ranging conversation with someone who has spent his life looking at golf from a very different perspective. Golf Club Talk UK Stories is a new sub-series exploring the people, personalities, experiences and stories behind the game. And what better way to begin than with Eddie Pelz — someone whose family has played such an important role in changing the way golfers understand and practise the game.

 How can Christians participate in the arts? What does Jesus have to do with aesthetics in the arts? How can a Christian-informed view of the arts help us better understand Jesus as the Creator and our Savior? This week we pick up with part two of our conversation with author, philosophical theologian and assistant professor of theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana about his latest book What is Beauty? An Introduction to Art & Aesthetics. Dennis Bray (PhD, University of St Andrews) is a philosophical theologian who integrates insights from philosophy, biblical and systematic theology, history, and the empirical sciences.

In early September, OpenAI announced it had solved a major mathematics problem that has stumped humans for nearly a century. The news left mathematicians reeling, and many expressed concern over what will be left for humans as AI becomes ever more adept at unravelling complex problems. Now 25 recipients of the Fields medal – often called the Nobel prize for maths – have signed an open letter expressing their fears of a ‘severe misalignment' between AI companies and their field. To find out how AI is likely to upend maths – and how mathematicians might respond – Ian Sample speaks to Colva Roney-Dougal, professor of pure mathematics at the University of St Andrews.

“Detroit the city is not a monolith” Norris Howard's story moves from Great Migration roots in Birmingham Alabama and Dalton Georgia to a family stretched across Detroit's east and west sides and his own coming of age in Brightmoor. A Michigan Bell union mother taught him that “Black women are superheroes unto themselves” while his father a Navy veteran and psychiatric nurse at Receiving Hospital offered another window into the city and the world. Howard traces his path from Henry Ford Community College to broadcast journalism at Wayne State where a generation of artists thinkers and creators helped shape Detroit's cultural energy after the 2008 crash. His memories move from Better Made reds and dollar shows to Belle Isle senior skip day St Andrews ghetto tech and serious questions about media politics development and who Detroit's future is being built for. “Use downtown It belongs to you” captures his larger challenge to Detroiters listen closely question systems and claim the city as ours.

What if kindness is simply allowing yourself to be where you are?In this short, very honest episode, I'm reflecting on kindness - and how I'm learning to offer more of it to myself.After a few weeks of stepping back from creating new meditations, I've realised that this pause isn't really about figuring out what comes next. It's about giving myself space, letting go of the pressure to constantly be productive, and trusting that I don't need to have all the answers right now.Sometimes kindness is not pushing, it's allowing and simply saying, I don't know yet - and that's okay.A little reflection from my current receiving era.

The internet is ablaze right now talking about so-called Catholic vindicatory miracles like some heart tissue appearing in the Eucharist. I have been surprised by the over-the-top confidence that some have in these miracle stories, so I decided to get Dr. Stacy Transancos on to chat about her book on Eucharistic miracles.

You've heard it said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What exactly, though, does that really mean? While it is true we all seem intuitively to know beauty when we see it, we find it difficult to pin down an exact definition of what beauty actually is. Is it subjectively determined or is beauty as objectively real as the stars above us? This week and next on the Profile, we tackle this engrossing question with philosophical theologian and assistant professor of theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. We discuss his new book What Is Beauty?

What if you don't need another thing?Another practice. Another course. Another book. Another thing to fix, heal or improve.After a surprisingly honest email to my community, I found myself thinking about how overwhelmed so many of us are - and whether self-development can sometimes become another thing we feel we have to do.There is a difference between wanting to grow and believing that who you are right now isn't enough.So what if, just for a little while, you took your foot off the pedal? Loosened the reins? Stopped trying to work everything out?What if you simply allowed yourself to be exactly where you are?Maybe you don't need another thing today.Maybe you just need a little space.And if you can find half an hour where there is genuinely nothing you need to do, nowhere you need to be and nothing you need to achieve... perhaps you're already meditating. ❤️Rosanne xTo find free resources and ways to work with me go to chakra-way.comDownload your Nervous System First Aid Kit hereTo support the podcast and show your love please click hereTo join the Slow & Restore Retreat in St Andrews on 21st/22nd November please click hereOr simply message me directly Hosted on Acast.

In this episode Alice interviews Dr Stephan Blum, a Research Associate at the Institute for Prehistory, Early History and Medieval Archaeology, at the University of Tübingen. Stephan is a member of the Troy Project, a long-running archaeological collaboration between the universities of Cincinnati and Tübingen, designed to shed more light on the physical remains and social history of one of the ancient world's most evocative places. Stephan is also a member of the Ancient Peace Studies Network, based at the University of St Andrews, and he has been bringing his expertise in ethnoarchaeology to the project, helping to uncover aspects of ancient peace history which have not been excavated in much depth until now.Troy is famous for the ten-year siege which Homer wrote about in The Iliad and The Odyssey - but this is only a fraction of the city's 3000-year old story. In this episode, we discuss how Homer's famous war stories have distorted our vision of ancient Troy and we consider what we can learn from its wider history. Stephan explains the challenges of looking for peace in the archaeological record, but he also underlines how much evidence we can find at Troy of conflict prevention, conflict resilience and post-conflict transformation. The result is a very different picture of a place that is almost synonymous with war in popular culture. Contextualising Troy's war-torn reputation by excavating more of its peace history teaches us a lot about the dominance of conflict narratives as well as the value of looking for evidence of local, everyday and personal peace across antiquity.We hope you enjoy the episode.

Rusko čakajú 18. až 20. septembra parlamentné voľby a Kremeľ potrebuje, aby krajina pôsobila normálne. Nie je preto podstatné iba to, kto bude sedieť v Štátnej dume. Dôležité bude sledovať aj to, čo sa odohrá tisíce kilometrov od Moskvy – v sibírskych mestách, na Kaukaze, v odľahlých oblastiach či na okupovaných ukrajinských územiach. Vojna na Ukrajine podľa zahraničnopolitického analytika Filipa J. Scherfa priviedla politiku aj k ľuďom a do regiónov, kde predtým nikoho príliš nezaujímala. Ako Moskva udržiava pokope obrovskú a mnohonárodnostnú krajinu a prečo sa Vladimir Putin obáva jej rozpadu? Filip J. Scherf je výskumník na University of St Andrews a Europaeum Scholar na University of Oxford. Prednáša politické riziko na Karlovej univerzite.

The mini series within the Royal Studies Podcast on Monarchy & Money is hosted by Charlotte Backerra from the University of Klagenfurt in Austria, and Cathleen Sarti from the University of Oxford in the UK. In the Monarchy & Money episodes, they are talking with scholars on why economic questions are important to understand monarchical rule, and how royals are interacting with the economies of their kingdoms and beyond their territories. They are also always happy to hear about research into economic, financial, and business activities of monarchies and dynastic rulers of all kind.Social Media: facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky: @cathleen-sarti.bsky.social Guest Bios:Jens Ivo Engels has been Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Technical University Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) since 2008. In addition to the history of monarchy, his research focuses on the history of corruption, the theory and history of technical infrastructures, environmental history and popular culture. His book Die Geschichte der Korruption (The History of Corruption) was published in 2014. He is expected to publish a monograph next year, in collaboration with Ronald Kroeze, entitled “The Everlasting Fight Against Corruption in Modern Europe”. A monograph on the political significance of the German rock musician Wolfgang Niedecken in the late 20th century has just been published as Rock und Politik (Böhlau, 2026). His dissertation thesis was devoted to the public image of French kings in the early 18th century: Königsbilder. Sprechen, Singen und Schreiben über den französischen König in der ersten Hälfte des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts (Bouvier, 2000).Sarah Deck is a PhD candidate at TU Darmstadt, and a research associate in the project on Monarchy and corruption debates. In her Dissertation, she examines the history of monarchies in Germany, UK and France around 1900 from the persepective of public corruption debates. She holds a Bachelor in History and German Language and Literature and a Master in Global History from the university in Heidelberg, and has studied at the University of St Andrews.   Previously - and still a research interest - she worked on migration history, focussing on so called "guest workers" from Yugoslavia, focussing on Yugoslavian Clubs in a small German town.Markus Horbach is a PhD candidate and research associate as the Technical University of Darmstadt since 2024. He is currently working in the Project “Monarchie und Korruptionsdebatten im langen 19. Jahrhundert“, supervised by Jens Ivo Engels. Prior to this, he earned his master's degree in history at the University of Osnabrück. His current research focuses on public discourse and debates regarding corruption as well as monarchical critique in Germany, England and France in the so called Sattelzeit, 1750 to 1850.Mentioned Works:Project website (in English): Previous Episodes of the Monarchy & Money series:02 January 2026: Katia Wright (Winchester) on The Queen's Lands – English Queens of the 14th Century 16 January 2026: Veronika Hyden-Hanscho (Klagenfurt) on Revenues of Habsburg Nobility in the Long 18th Century 30 January 2026: Fabian Persson (Linnaeus University, Kalmar and Växjö) on Court Economy in Sweden

Sometimes the most nourishing thing we can do is stop. In this very different episode, I'm taking a short break from creating new meditations. After years of creating, giving and sharing, I've realised that I need some space to replenish and receive. So today, rather than a meditation, I'm reflecting on what happens when we give ourselves permission to put something down for a while - and why we don't always need to know what comes next.And if you need some support while I'm away, my Nervous System First Aid Kit is there for you - a collection of short, practical audio resets for those moments when you feel overwhelmed, stressed, stuck in fight or flight, or simply need to come back to yourself.Take what you need. Rest when you can. And I'll be back in a couple of weeks. ❤️Much loveRosanne xxTo find free resources and ways to work with me go to chakra-way.comDownload your Nervous System First Aid Kit hereTo support the podcast and show your love please click hereTo join the Slow & Restore Retreat in St Andrews on 21st/22nd November please click hereOr simply message me directly Hosted on Acast.

Bowness describes a regional anaesthesia course using AI-augmented ultrasound imaging, augmented reality simulated needling, and cadaveric ultrasound with real needle insertion. Delvaux discusses his research in AI-assisted nerve recognition, explains supervised model development through large-scale ultrasound image annotation for GE Healthcare's C-NERF, and they explore how to evaluate AI beyond pixel-based metrics toward clinically oriented utility and safety, including differences in usefulness for trainees versus experts. They discuss model design across anatomical sites, the need for diverse training and external validation data, risks from poor image acquisition, and barriers such as trust and autonomy. Delvaux outlines priorities for ESRA's AI working group, focusing on AI literacy and faster, reliable evaluation guidance. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

Having taught my yoga classes around the theme of he Solar Plexus Chakra this week, I felt drawn to explore Inner Strength for this meditation. I think quite often we don't realise how much we have until it is fully tested, until a situation comes along that requires us to be really strong. Women are so incredibly strong - throughout history, through the ages and lineage of women who have bought us all here today there has been an inner strength that is awe inspiring. I want to redefine Inner Strength as not pushing through or holding everything together, but the quiet strength that has carried us through every difficult thing so far. When we are our true selves we can see our incredible strength - we can do the job, care for the people in our lives, and have the strength to do so much. It's not about being able to push through or hold everything together, it's about that deep knowing of the strength that we have.Much loveRosanne xxTo find free resources and ways to work with me go to chakra-way.comDownload your Nervous System First Aid Kit hereTo support the podcast and show your love please click hereTo join the Slow & Restore Retreat in St Andrews on 21st/22nd November please click hereOr simply message me directly Hosted on Acast.

Just days into the Iran conflict, strikes had taken out much of the country's military leadership. Yet the conflict continues with a new regime installed in Tehran. With the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei unseen since the outbreak of war, who is really in charge now? And as peace negotiations continue to stall, what drives Tehran's decisions? Gavin Esler discusses the latest from Iran with Professor Ali Ansari, founding director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews. • Find out if you're owed on car finance at refundclub.co.uk/drill • Refund Club is a trading style of Sandsford Law Limited, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA no. 8008114).

Life in Spite of Everything: Tales from the Ukrainian East (Daunt Books Publishing, 2025) is a unique reflection on the much-mythologised Donetsk and Luhansk regions of the Ukrainian east, the old and recent history of the region as seen by an esteemed academic multi-disciplinary scholar Victoria Donovan in her numerous travels to the region prior to the full-scale invasion. Seen through a deeply empathetic lens of conversations with local curators, historians, museum workers, and artists, the region is shown in its complexity, with the uniqueness of its landscapes, endangered biodiversity, entangled colonialisms of its past and a threatened future. Since start of Russia's war against Ukraine in 2014, its eastern region—Donbas—has been synonymous with conflict. With the escalation of that war in 2022, its, cities such as Bakhmut and Lysychansk have become familiar to us through the images and reports of brutal devastation. Victoria Donovan excavates a rich, multicultural history of this area, and paints a radically different picture. Travelling from the dramatic, jagged peaks of Bilokuzmynivka to the marshland of Mariupol, from a warehouse rave to an abandoned gypsum mine, the physical world and its importance to this region's identity is brought to vivid life. But above all else, by speaking to those whose lives are embedded there now—curators, artists, railway workers, young people who have grown up amidst instability and destruction—Donovan amplifies local voices and reveals the intensely personal lived reality of Putin's war. Victoria Donovan is Professor of Ukrainian and East European Studies and Director of the Centre for Global (Post)socialisms, Southeast, Central and East European Studies at the University of St Andrews. Viktoriia Grivina is an independent anthropologist and writer, author of Kharkiv, a War City (Ibidem, 2025), and Kharkiv is a Dream: Public Art and Activism, 2013–2023 (Ibidem, 2025).
