A hot topic right now is the ethics of AI generated images and audio. What these programs are able to mimic can be scarily accurate. But this type of trickery has been going on for a long time…by spirits. People all over the world have been reporting seeing or hearing family or friends in places they actually weren't. Spirits have already been doing what we fear AI will do in the future. So for this week's bonus episode, I wanted to share true stories from real people who have been targets of a spirit mimicking someone they knew, just to show you how common this phenomenon is.  [This episode originally aired on July 9, 2024] Ch 1: The Wolf, submitted by Kenzi.

Ch 3: It keeps imitating my family, submitted by Dan G. A kid witnessed an entity mimic the members of his family. Ch 4: The Tah-tah-kle-ahs, submitted by Squeam.

What happens when two parents hit pause on the chaos and reflect on their relationship? From a beachside gazebo in St. Lucia, Mathew and Crystal dive into their most honest relationship check-in yet. They talk about the their communication blind spots, and how stress shows up in sneaky (and spiky) ways. There's laughter, vulnerability, and a few confessions. You'll hear about emotional labor, travel anxiety, what they learned in therapy, and why booking one day a month together might just save your relationship. This episode isn't just about them—it's about all of us who are trying to stay connected while juggling everything else.

Anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas said in his book, Rituals: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living, that rituals often have no physical result when performed. Instead, rituals are symbolic, and perform a very essential function in the roles of community building, cooperation, and trust. In this Nordic on Tap episode, we delve into the Saint Lucia ritual, which coincides with the old winter solstice date (Dec 13th) on the Julian calendar.  What happens during the St. Lucia ritual? Who participates?  Traditionally in Sweden, Lucia was depicted as a blue-eyed, blonde girl with fair skin. However, in modern times, as the population becomes more diverse, the St. Lucia ritual has evolved to reflect a broader range of backgrounds, promoting greater inclusivity. This highlights how traditions can evolve to reflect societal changes while still maintaining their cultural significance. Join me as we try to make sense of this with Stina Cowan, the Cultural Director at the Swedish Club Northwest, in Seattle, Washington USA.  We also listen to  3 traditional and lovely Lucia Day songs associated with the ritual. See extras and links on our website episode page on Nordic on Tap.

Even though cricket is a national obsession in India, many other sports struggle to find an audience. And in terms of performance in international competitions, India has historically lagged behind. At last year's Paris Olympics, India — a country of more than one billion people — failed to win a single gold medal and it finished behind smaller countries like St Lucia, Kyrgyzstan and Botswana on the medal table.The country's female athletes face a particular set of challenges. But they are breaking down barriers and trying to prove that the playing field belongs to everyone. The BBC Indian Sportswoman of the Year awards honour pioneering Indian sportswomen. The BBC's Divya Arya attended the event and explains the challenges that female athletes face in India and what is being done to change this. We also hear from one of this year's recipients, Olympic shooter Manu Bhaker.

In this episode, Mark Crego and Terri Petersen explore the universal themes of light and fire as celebrated across diverse cultural, religious, and spiritual traditions. From the twinkling Christmas lights of Christianity to the lamps of Diwali in Hinduism, the menorah of Hanukkah in Judaism, and the kinara of Kwanzaa, light has long symbolized hope, renewal, and the triumph of good over adversity. We delve into how these traditions connect humanity to something greater—be it divine presence, communal unity, or the rhythm of the cosmos. Their conversation spans light and darkness throughout religious and cultural traditions, finding balance between them. Through personal reflections and a deep dive into these global traditions, they uncover shared truths: light as a source of inspiration, fire as a force of transformation, and both as symbols of connection and renewal. Yet, they also address concerns, such as the risks of dualism that pits light against darkness and the potential for hierarchical domination when institutions claim ownership of light. Closing with the warmth of Christmas, they tie these themes together, inviting listeners to embrace light—not to dominate darkness but to foster balance, understanding, and love. This holiday season, let the light you share illuminate not just your home but the lives of those around you!

vinden.En: asked Emil, his voice almost lost in the wind.Sv: "Vi måste försöka," svarade Sven.En: "We have to try," replied Sven.Sv: "Det finns inget val."En: "There's no choice."Sv: Inne i kapellet krasade isen under deras fötter.En: Inside the chapel, the ice crunched under their feet.Sv: Stenar och trasigt glas låg utspritt över golvet.En: Stones and broken glass were scattered across the floor.Sv: Det var kallt, kallare än utanför, och ett svagt ljus sipprade in genom de trasiga fönstren.En: It was cold, colder than outside, and a faint light seeped in through the broken windows.Sv: Lena sken upp när hennes ögon fångade en glimt av något under en gammal, förändrad altarduk.En: Lena lit up when her eyes caught a glimpse of something under an old tattered altar cloth.Sv: "Sven,

of dust, lay his grandmother's old jewel.Sv: Han lyfte upp det med vördnad, hans ögon glänste av lättnad och stolthet.En: He lifted it with reverence, his eyes shining with relief and pride.Sv: "Vi fann det," viskade han.En: "We found it," he whispered.Sv: Men det var inte allt.En: But that was not all.Sv: Under smycket låg också en gammal bok.En: Beneath the jewel lay an old book.Sv: Den tillhörde Lenas släkt och berättade om deras starka band till platsen.En: It belonged to Lena's family and told of their strong ties to the place.Sv: Vindarna utanför låg nu på med full kraft och Emil tog ett steg tillbaka.En: The winds outside now bore down with full force, and Emil took a step back.Sv: "Vi måste härifrån, innan vi snöar in," sa han.En: "We need to get out of here before we get snowed in," he said.Sv: Sven nickade.En: Sven nodded.Sv: "Du har rätt.En: "You're right.Sv: Det är dags att gå."En: It's time to go."Sv: De återvände till säkerhetens värme och ljus.En: They returned to the safety of warmth and light.Sv: I deras hjärtan bar de nu både arvsmärket och en känsla av fullbordade löften.En: In their hearts, they now carried both the heritage mark and a sense of fulfilled promises.Sv: För Sven var lärdomen att vänskap var viktigare än gamla löften, och för Lena, en nyfunnen känsla av hemhörighet.En: For Sven, the lesson was that friendship was more important than old promises, and for Lena, a newfound sense of belonging.Sv: När de satte fötterna på trygg mark, såg de på varandra med leenden.En: When they set foot on safe ground, they looked at each other with smiles.Sv: Det var en välkommen insikt, en att minnas när Lucia-kransen lyste upp den kalla natten.En: It was a welcome insight, one to remember when the Lucia crown lit up the cold night.Sv:

In this episode Fiona, Sherween, and Chantal share their Dominica experiences - they recount their stay at Harmony Villas, the Kalinago naming ceremony, and the WATO Food Festival, which featured chefs from various Caribbean islands. The festival's authenticity, community spirit, and cultural exchange are emphasised. The hosts then share a few of their St Lucia moments as Sherween and Fiona welcome Chantal to their island for her first visit as an adult. Personal moments of joy include Fiona's visit to a locally owned farm in Mon Tete Choiseul, Chantal's time with her nephew Jeriah, and Sherween's decision to relocate to Choiseul. The episode concludes with reflections on the joy and connections formed during their much overdue reunion.This week's Under The Mango Tree is extra special, featuring a recording of the three hosts bursting into uncontrollable laughter over some pure foolishness—just like we did throughout the entire Dominica trip!Got feedback, comments, or want to partner with or sponsor *The (Relate)able Podcast?

A hot topic right now is the ethics of AI generated images and audio. What these programs are able to mimic can be scarily accurate. But this type of trickery has been going on for a long time…by spirits. People all over the world have been reporting seeing or hearing family or friends in places they actually weren't. Spirits have already been doing what we fear AI will do in the future. So for this week's episode, I wanted to share true stories from real people who have been targets of a spirit mimicking someone they knew, just to show you how common this phenomenon is.  First, I tell the tale of a community in St Lucia haunted by a mysterious wolf. Then, I narrate the account of a girl who thought she was being tucked into bed by her father. Next, I recall the times a kid witnessed an entity mimic the members of his family. And finally, I read the experience of a person who had a close call with shapeshifting creatures at camp.
