In 1982, American sailor Steven Callahan survived 76 days alone in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank in the middle of the night. In this episode of the Align Podcast, he joins Aaron to share his mind-blowing story. From catching fish and collecting drinking water to managing fear, loneliness, and physical pain, Steven reflects on the mental and spiritual lessons that emerged during one of the most well-known survival stories ever recorded. He also explores resilience, human adaptability, and what life at sea taught him about purpose, suffering, and connection to the natural world. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #595 ========== OUR GUEST ========== Best selling author, marine adventurer, artist, and consultant to Oscar-winning directors, Steven Callahan has built his fifty-year career in the maritime and communications businesses on a rare blend of hands-on, real-world experience, technical know-how, philosophy, and the creative arts. Callahan considers the sea the world's greatest wilderness. He often wrote about adventuresome shorthanded offshore sailing events for maritime audiences, but by exploring the universal human issues and emotions that are amplified at sea and through the stress of survival, Callahan's creative work has been able to span both dedicated marine and general audiences. Adrift, Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea (Houghton Mifflin) chronicles his 2,000-mile (1,800 nautical mile) survival drift across the Atlantic in a six-foot diameter inflated raft in 1982. ================ STEVEN CALLAHAN ================

What is happening in Tigray? In this episode Anne van Mourik speaks with Teklehaymanot (Tekle) Weldemichael (University of Manchester) about the strong evidence that Ethiopia committed genocide in Tigray, and the (lack of) academic freedom to publish on it. The war between Ethiopia and Tigray began in 2020 and saw widespread atrocities, including mass killings, systematic rape, starvation, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. How to analyse this mass violence? Did the ceasefire of 2022 truly end the violence? How became the bodies and especially wombs of Tigrayan women sites of violence during the conflict? And what kind of challenges do scholars face, who want to publish on what is happening in Tigray?Image: Protestor holding sign in support of women in Tigray 2021, CC BY 2.0 Wikimedia Commons.

Rebecca tried everything.Starvation diets. Ozempic. Blood tests. Her doctor told her she might just be naturally bigger. She was crying on the gym floor after sessions she knew weren't working. She wouldn't even take her wedding dress out of the bag because she knew it wouldn't fit.Then she made one decision that changed everything.In this episode I sit down with Rebecca compliance officer, newlywed, and one of the most inspiring people I've had on this podcast to talk about her full journey. 13kg down, lifting double her bodyweight, wedding dress taken in three times, and a completely different relationship with herself.We talk about:Why she avoided reaching out for so long and what finally made her do itThe hidden calories that were silently wrecking her progressHow her confidence went from zero to owning every room she walks intoWhy the scales became almost irrelevantThe mindset shift from weight loss to performance that makes it all stickWhat she'd say to anyone still sitting on the fenceIf you've tried everything and still feel stuck this one is for you.

Latona and Nano Not Adding Up   We discuss some strange structures of the past, and as always we dive right in to the deep topics that many have trouble comprehending.  We've been conditioned to think the world works a certain way, and that it makes sense, follows logic, etc.  The way we're being steered into oblivion is so unnatural and so seemingly suicidal that it defies reason and comprehension.  The only way these measures being taken could make sense is if they decision makers don't intend to be around when the fallout occurs, or that WE won't! What little population that remains after they are done will be locked in geofenced playpens of horror and surveillance.  The future they want doesn't make for a peaceful coexistence.  They are pushing for near extinction and absolute slavery.  We must discuss these things because they get closer to completion every day. I'd much rather talk about anything else, honestly. I'd love to discuss weightlifting, fitness, movies, books, OOPart, and I'd like to do commentary on lighter things, and go back to writing short comedy skits to act out with friends for your amusement.  But when we're all locked in a burning building metaphorically, it's imperative to warn, make aware, and discuss a survival/escape strategy and put it into action.  After we're out of danger and we make sure that danger can't resume again, then there will be time for light-hearted distractions.  I don't like how the news manipulates me into having to think about certain things and how they are directly threatening my peace and happiness, but it would be irresponsible to ignore it and unfriendly to not warn others of what I see on the horizon. My site:https://SemperFryLLC.comJoin Dr. Glidden's Membership site here:https://leavebigpharmabehind.com/?via=pgndhealth⁠Code: baalbusters for 25% OFFMake Dr. Glidden Your DoctorUse Code BB5 here for the Essential Nutrients WE ALL NEED:https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/brand/azurewell/2326The Azure 90 are 1.

This is The Flotillas, a three-part documentary series from The Take. Part One: It was just a few boats and a radical idea – break the maritime siege of Gaza imposed by Israel. Today, that spark has grown into a defiant global movement, but Huwaida Arraf has been confronting Israel on land and at sea for more than two decades. In 2025, she once again prepared to sail to Gaza on the ship Handala. This time, the stakes were different. As a mother of two, Huwaida navigated not only the risks of confronting a naval blockade, but also what it means to continue the fight while raising a family. This is the story of how a small, unlikely mission at sea grew into an international movement, and what keeps its earliest leaders going despite the personal cost.

This one is a two-parter because my audio cut out halfway through :) This answers the “should we fertilize in winter” question with a more elegant solution, and also speaks to covering all the bases and giving your plants the ability to be more self-sustaining :)

For the first half of the episode, check out the previous one - got cut off mid recording :) This one covers the nutrient deficit we often assume is a good idea for houseplants during the winter, and why that assumption doesn't fit with their evolution in the tropics.

In this episode, Alex dives into the chaos gripping Mexico after the killing of cartel leader El Mencho, exploring how the Jalisco New Generation Cartel challenged the state's authority. Drawing on Max Weber's definition of the state as the entity with a monopoly on legitimate violence, Alex examines what it means when organized crime can burn highways, shoot down helicopters, and act as a parallel government. The episode unpacks whether Mexico can reclaim control and restore the Weberian monopoly of violence in the wake of this dramatic upheaval. At the end, Alex also gives an update on Cuba as it is experiencing the potential for mass starvation after sanctions following Maduro's ousting in Venezuela.

Ice. Starvation. Total darkness. And somewhere out there — a polar bear that would very much like to eat you. On this episode, Ben Thompson is joined by producer Andrew Jacobs to break down the life of Fridtjof Nansen — Arctic explorer, record-setting skier, neuroscientist, diplomat, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the only man in history to drift across the polar ice cap on purpose. Nansen didn't just explore the Arctic — he weaponized it. He froze his own ship into the pack ice to prove a scientific theory. He skied farther north than any human had ever gone. And when he was done conquering the planet's most hostile environment, he turned around and saved hundreds of thousands of refugees. This one has frostbite, philosophy, and a man who genuinely believed the only way out… was further in.

In 1845, Sir John Franklin and 129 men sailed into the Arctic chasing the Northwest Passage—and vanished into a white maze of ice, darkness, and slow collapse. This episode follows the chilling, evidence-anchored timeline of the Lost Franklin Expedition, from the first quiet graves at Beechey Island to the brutal trap of Victoria Strait, where the ice held two war-built ships like insects in amber: HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.We trace the expedition's last clear message—the Victory Point note—and the desperate decision to abandon shelter and march south across a landscape that doesn't care about courage. Along the way: the long-dismissed Inuit testimony that kept pointing searchers toward the truth… and the grim archaeological signs of starvation, scurvy, and the terrifying edge where survival turns into taboo.Then, nearly two centuries later, the Arctic finally gives something back: the discovery of the wrecks of HMS Erebus (2014) and HMS Terror (2016)—preserved in black water like a paused nightmare, raising haunting questions about what happened after the ships were left behind.Inside this episode:The obsession: why Britain needed the Northwest Passage badly enough to gamble livesThe trap: how the ice sealed Erebus and Terror near King William IslandThe turning point: the Victory Point note and Franklin's death (June 1847)The march south: what Inuit witnesses reported—and why it was dismissed for decadesThe forensic truths: lead, scurvy, starvation, and evidence of desperate measuresThe wrecks found: how modern search teams combined tech with Inuit knowledge to locate the shipsSome mysteries aren't solved all at once—they're uncovered in scraps, bones, and cold, reluctant proof. And in the Franklin case, the scariest part is that you don't need a monster. The ice is enough. We're telling that story tonight.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why stubborn belly fat is not a calorie issue or a willpower problem but a visceral fat problem driven by inflammation, stress hormones, and faulty metabolic signals. Ben explains the critical difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat and why traditional approaches like excessive cardio, crunches, caloric restriction, and chronic OMAD fail to eliminate deep belly fat. Drawing on over 200 years of Japanese metabolic wisdom, he shares a simple yet powerful three-pillar approach to melting visceral fat naturally: Deeply colored foods that activate fat-burning genes Green tea catechins that increase fat oxidation and block fat absorption Moderate-intensity movement using the 75% talk-test rule You'll also learn: How to identify visceral fat with a simple self-test Why bottled green tea sabotages fat loss Why fat loss is about signals, not discipline How “thin on the outside, fat on the inside” (TOFI) applies to many people How fast visceral fat can drop once the right signals are restored This episode delivers a clear, actionable plan to reduce inflammation, protect metabolism, and restore your body's natural fat-burning ability without starvation or punishment.

This week we're discussing the best, most awful, controversial, hilarious, and upsetting album to ever grace God's green Earth, Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. An album Mike has been listening to since he was 11-years-old and still can't justify why anyone should listen to it. So his brother Robert is here to set the record straight and give (at least his perspective) on why it's the best album ever made. If you don't get the hype, good. You're probably better off spending your time having a family or making money or something.   Intro/Album Overview 00:00 What even is this album? 3:31 Some people respond to this album with rage 9:08 Making of the album: Starvation, manipulation, abuse 10:31 What the music actually sounds like 16:06 Mike's first time hearing it at 11 20:52 When Mike showed his best friend the album at 11 23:18 Robert's first reaction to the album 25:14 How the music was constructed 28:06 The drummer's recounting of the history 32:18 Why this album got so weird 35:25 The impact of this album 42:34 This album ISN'T "cool" 44:12 Why it's Robert's favorite album ever 51:09 Some people prefer Lick My Decals Off, Baby 52:01 How can someone learn to enjoy the album? 57:26 You don't need to like it 1:00:42 The vocal performances 1:05:09 Later Captain Beefheart albums 1:07:40 Final thoughts/Outro 1:10:21   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Join the Patreon, it rules: https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Mike's music: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   Tom Osman's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple, Website Podcast on Spotify, YouTube     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE RISE OF THE PARIS COMMUNE FOLLOWING THE SIEGE Colleague Sebastian Smee. By March 1871, following a winter of starvation where Parisians ate rats and zoo animals, the city's radical Republicans revolted against the provisional government. The radicals, frustrated by the government's failure to break the Prussian siege and the subsequent humiliating surrender terms, seized cannons and established the Commune. This new government aimed for localized, democratic control but was viewed by the national government, now retreated to Versailles under Adolphe Thiers, as an insurrection. The Commune was libertarian and progressive but faced immediate isolation. Having survived the Prussian siege, the Communards now found themselves besieged by French government forces, setting the stage for a brutal civil conflict where the "brother fought brother" narrative of the 19th century would reach a violent climax. NUMBER 4 1890

In this solo episode I unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in all of fat loss. Starvation mode. Or better stated. The myth of starvation mode. I break down what most people actually mean when they say they are "in starvation mode" and why the vast majority simply are not in a consistent calorie deficit. I also get into why honesty in tracking and daily habits matters way more than blaming your metabolism. But I also address the very small subset of people who really do experience something real. What I call conservation mode. I explain exactly what is happening in the body when you diet aggressively for long periods of time. How metabolic adaptation works. How stress, low calories, and low energy intake can down regulate output without you noticing. And why this can create the illusion that fat loss has stalled. I walk through the key signs of conservation mode and how to course correct. More movement. Better recovery. Smarter refeeds. Tightening up tracking. Giving your metabolism and stress system some breathing room so the body feels safe to let go of fat again. This episode will help you understand the truth behind starvation mode, the difference between excuses and physiology, and how to get fat loss moving again if you are truly stuck. Tune in. Take notes. And take ownership of your results.   Next Level Nutrition Coaching Black Friday Special - Get The Deal Here   Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here   Next Level Links Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide   Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Submit your questions to be featured on our Q&A episodes.   Order Supplements From Transform Order from Cured Supplement Order from Legion Supplements and get 20% off your first order by using discount code: keynutrition   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

Linda Hazzard - self-proclaimed “fasting specialist” and actual sadistic fraud - ran one of the most disturbing medical scams in American history. At her Washington State sanitarium, later nicknamed “Starvation Heights,” she starved countless patients under the guise of curing everything from aches and pains to cancer. Her brutal regimen of near-total fasting, daily enemas, and bizarre “massage” beatings left a trail of emaciated victims...Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

As the U.S. government shutdown reaches its 42nd day, millions of families face an invisible emergency — hunger. While the President focuses on pardoning criminal allies, everyday Americans are fighting to survive without paychecks, federal aid, or SNAP benefits. In this powerful episode, Ronda exposes the real human cost of political pride — the single mothers skipping meals so their children can eat, the federal workers standing in food bank lines, and the painful contradiction of a country that calls itself “the greatest in the world” while its people starve. Through truth, compassion, and spiritual reflection, Ronda offers soul-centered guidance for staying grounded in a time of national neglect. You'll learn how to transmute fear into faith, reconnect to community action, and feed your spirit when the system fails. ✨ In This Episode: The truth about how the government shutdown impacts SNAP and working families Why single mothers bear the heaviest burden during political crises How hunger becomes a form of spiritual and emotional violence The energetic and ancestral roots of scarcity and how to release them Ronda's “Feeding the Future Self” meditation — a sound healing experience for restoring faith, strength, and abundance

The Siege, Starvation, and the Start of the Communard Revolt. Sebastian Smee discusses how during the Prussian siege of Paris, Parisians suffered terribly in the coldest winter on record. Radical Republicans grew furious at the moderate government's failure to defeat the Prussians. When the government surrendered and accepted severe conditions, the radicals decided to revolt. The revolutionaries, gathering in March 1871, seized cannons and established the Commune. The Communards were more libertarian than communist, aiming to democratize society. They were violent immediately, and the government forces retreated to Versailles. Paris found itself besieged again by French government forces directed by Adolphe Thiers.

In 1933, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin had his secret police goons round up hundreds of thousands of former farmers and he sent them into Siberia to create labor camps where they would be forced to work. Many would die along the way, including the over 6,000 unfortunate enough to end up on Nazino Island, where innocent people were dumped with no food other than raw flour, no clean water, no shelter, no medicine, and no protection from each other. Starvation and desperation quickly led to cannibalism, mutilation, and death.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
