On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Tom Fordyce and Sids react to England making it through the World Cup group stages and look ahead to the knockout rounds. The lads discuss where England sit among the tournament favourites, whether stronger opposition might actually suit them better, and why Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane could still have a major role to play as the tournament opens up.There is also plenty of classic nonsense along the way. Sids talks through his unexpectedly therapeutic trip to an LA laundrette, Tom reveals how he accidentally got into a swimming pool on a senior citizen discount, and the lads lose themselves in an obscure 90s footballer rabbit hole before attempting their best David Beckham eyebrow impressions.The boys are then joined by Aston Villa legend and former Colombia international Juan Pablo Ángel. Pablo reflects on arriving at Villa from River Plate, landing in England without speaking the language, being unveiled at Villa Park before the move was even fully signed, and adapting to the speed, pressure and culture of the Premier League. He also opens up on growing up in Medellín, learning football on the streets, the intensity of Boca Juniors vs River Plate, representing Colombia, scoring against Brazil and Argentina, and why MLS is far more competitive than many people realise.The lads also return for another round of Paddy Power Chaos Cards, reviewing the latest leaderboard after LeBron James' unlikely contribution, before making their predictions for the next round of World Cup action. With bonus points on the line and bragging rights at stake, there's no shortage of confidence, controversy and classic TPCP chaos.As always, leave your comments below and let us know who you'd love to see in the Chumbawamba next!00:00 Intro00:38 LA adventures03:00 England's World Cup hopes12:21 Juan Pablo Ángel joins20:01 Growing up in Colombia25:59 Boca vs River32:14 Aston Villa & the Premier League38:26 Playing for Colombia43:58 Building MLS49:00 Quickfire questions51:50 Brummie accent challenge53:30 Farewell to Juan Pablo Ángel53:45 Starkey in CANADA?56:33 Paddy Power Chaos Card01:10:45 Looking ahead to the knockoutsFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Chris Stark:Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell:Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwellInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14For more Tom Fordyce:Twitter - https://twitter.com/tomfordyce#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast #JuanPabloAngel Hosted on Acast.

En este episodio analizamos cómo el acceso a la información patrimonial de los funcionarios en El Salvador permaneció restringido desde las reformas impulsadas por el gobierno de Nayib Bukele en 2020, que declararon confidenciales las declaraciones financieras y patrimoniales de los funcionarios públicos. Aunque recientemente el Ministerio de Hacienda publicó información sobre los patrimonios de funcionarios y sus familias —incluido el del presidente Bukele, cuyo patrimonio líquido pasó de $2.21 millones en 2018 a $4.46 millones en 2025— los datos divulgados son limitados y no permiten verificar el origen ni el detalle de los bienes reportados.También hablamos sobre el programa “Dos Escuelas por Día”, impulsado por el Gobierno en 2025 y ejecutado en gran parte por privados de libertad del programa “Cero Ocio”. Una investigación de La Prensa Gráfica revela que las escuelas remodeladas por Centros Penales cuestan en promedio el doble por metro cuadrado que las construidas directamente por el Ministerio de Educación. Además, abordamos la preocupación del sector transporte por el aumento en el precio de los combustibles y una investigación de Redacción Regional sobre contratos estatales vinculados a Starkey, una marca de aparatos auditivos representada en El Salvador por Carla Rodríguez de Rondeau, hermana de la primera dama Gabriela de Bukele.Y en la Nota de Centroamerica revisamos un informe del Mecanismo Nacional de Prevención de la Tortura de Costa Rica sobre el trato recibido por 200 personas deportadas desde Estados Unidos en 2025 bajo acuerdos migratorios entre la administración Trump y el gobierno costarricense. El Resumen es un podcast original de El Faro Audio.

Send us Fan MailThe biggest risk in hearing aid innovation is not dreaming too small, it's shipping a promise that doesn't survive real life. Starkey Sound Bites host, Dave Fabry, PhD, sits down with Dr. Maddie Olson, Starkey's Manager of Clinical Product Research, to unpack how clinical research, verification, and product validation protect patients and providers when new hearing aid technology moves from the lab to the field. If you've ever wondered who makes sure a feature works on Tuesday afternoon in a noisy café, not just in a polished demo, this conversation is for you. We talk about what “validation” actually means: user requirements, regulatory expectations, safety and effectiveness, and proving meaningful benefit compared with what's already on the market. Dr. Olson explains how Starkey recruits from a large participant database to find the right listeners for the right tests, and why trust and honest feedback are as critical as any instrument. We also explore how modern hearing aids have become full systems, including Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone app performance, and the growing need to consider the provider workflow, not just the signal processing. The conversation expands into hearing health and whole health, including balance, falls, and wellness research, plus how questionnaires can help connect hearing loss with outcomes like social isolation and depression. For clinicians, we dig into practical measures you can use now: APHAB, DOSO, Hearing Handicap Inventory, and QuickSIN for speech in noise. Dr. Olson also breaks down ecological momentary assessment and hearing aid data logging as tools to reduce recall bias and fine-tune fittings based on what patients actually experience, moment by moment. If this helped you think differently about audiology, clinical research, or hearing aid outcomes, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more hearing care pros can find it.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: How do Pirates fans feel about ownership right now? Have opinions changed? Joe thinks Pirates fans should be pumped, but this is the cost of doing business.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered why two “good” hearing aid fittings can feel wildly different to a patient, the answer usually isn't the device, it's the process. I'm joined by Madison Levine, BC-HIS and owner of Levine Hearing in Charlotte, and Dr. Dave Fabry, Chief Hearing Health Officer at Starkey, for a practical conversation about best practices in hearing health care that actually improve patient outcomes.We get specific about what belongs in a modern best-practice toolkit: strong case history and counseling, real ear measurement (REM) for verification, and speech-in-noise testing (like QuickSIN) that matches how people struggle in the real world. Dave explains his REM goals (smooth real ear aided response, three input levels, MPO sweeps, LDL/UCL) and why “hitting target” is a starting line, not the finish. Madison shares how her clinic bakes verification and outcome measures into the workflow without slowing the day down, and how data logging turns follow-ups into smarter, calmer conversations.We also dig into innovation, including how immersive sound simulation with systems like Inventis Symphonia can help demonstrate noise features, personalize settings, and validate a patient's experience. Along the way we touch on the ear-brain connection, motivation for first-time users, and what to implement tomorrow if you can only change one thing.Subscribe for more conversations on hearing loss, hearing aids, audiology best practices, and better communication, then share this episode with a colleague and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Visit our website and take our quick online hearing screener. And if you're ready to take the next step, our online hearing care provider locator can help you find a trusted hearing care professional near you.

Send a textWhat if connecting to the right sound felt as simple as joining Wi‑Fi? We dive into Auracast and Google Fast Pair with Dr. Heike Heuermann, to show how broadcast audio, lower latency, and smarter pairing are about to make hearing aids—and earbuds—far more useful in the real world.We start with Heike's rare blend of physics and cognitive psychology, the lens that turns decibels into human experience. From that vantage point, Auracast (Bluetooth LE Audio) makes a decisive shift from one‑to‑one links to one‑to‑many streams: a single TV, airport gate, classroom, or worship service can reach countless listeners at once. The result is practical and inclusive. Travelers subscribe to only their gate's announcements. Partners follow the same show without extra boxes. Gym members pick the instructor over background noise. In places once dominated by telecoils, lightweight transmitters and an Auracast Assistant app replace complex loop installs, and because earbuds connect too, stigma drops while adoption climbs.Sound quality and endurance get a real upgrade. LE Audio's LC3 codec widens bandwidth, cuts latency to keep lips in sync, and reduces power draw so all‑day streaming is realistic. Multi‑stream support unlocks fresh experiences: choose a language in a cinema with a tap, or select exhibit audio in a museum without borrowing headsets that ignore your hearing profile. For work, seamless switching across phones, laptops, and tablets meets modern hybrid life, reducing the friction that once discouraged users from staying connected.We also unpack why partnerships matter. Starkey's collaboration with Google brings global ecosystem strength—Fast Pair discovery, Android reach—together with deep hearing science, DNN‑driven processing, and clinical insight. That combination accelerates a shift away from accessories like TV streamers as televisions adopt LE Audio broadcasting, simplifying homes while expanding access.If you care about hearing technology, accessibility, and the future of connected audio, this conversation offers clear use cases, fewer setup headaches, and a vision that treats connectivity as part of care.
