Podcasts about storm eunice

In these extra-long special Easter holiday edition clips from three years ago, I had mixed up Adam and Richard Curtis, Storm Eunice was causing havoc and a strange man was seeking efficiencies.

We're back. After a break of what feels like years, but may only be about five months, we're reinvigorated and ready to beguile our audience with more Hidden Wiltshire nonsense. Towards the end of 2022 Glyn and Paul had reached burn out after 41 episodes. We needed a break to think about what to do and where to go next, whilst sticking firmly to Wiltshire. Whilst we were away from the podcast we continued to pepper the Facebook page and website with blogs. But if we're honest our survival was mainly due to the new member of the Hidden Wiltshire family – Elaine Perkins. Elaine has been posting blogs for some time now and has brought fresh impetus to what we do. But we weren't going to let her get away with just that! So, please welcome Elaine to the podcast. This is her first and she took to it like a duck to water.  We had planned to record this episode on location at Morgan's Hill to the north of Devizes. But with winds of 60mph and heavy rain forecast we decided the top of a hill was not the most sensible place to be! As it was, despite being ensconced in a spare bedroom at home, Paul still sounds like he was recording in a wind tunnel.  As usual we began this episode by looking back at what we've been doing since the previous episode. And since that was in November 2022 the answer is - quite a lot. So we had a not so quick run through the blogs. You'll find links to them below.  Firstly, Elaine revisited Vernditch Chase in an effort to find the mythical Kitt's Grave (spoiler alert – she failed). Different maps show the grave in different places so is it any wonder it is so difficult to find? Folklore says it is the grave of a young woman who killed herself and, as was the custom, was buried on the parish boundary at a junction of tracks. Others say that it is a prehistoric long barrow, and one person at least claims to have found it in the adjacent wood. Will you find it?  Next Elaine wrote about her visit to Great Durnford and Ogbury Camp, an Iron Age univallate hill fort south west of Amesbury located above the Woodford Valley. The manor of Great Durford has existed since the 11th century and whilst in the village church Elaine believes she may have found evidence of a 16th century murder!  Then Elaine ventured to Clarendon Palace and the forest, which she visited shortly after Storm Eunice. A hunting ground for Saxon and later Norman kings, it would once have formed part of a much larger area of forest but it is now little more than a wood.  Next it was Paul's turn and in February he returned to Fisherton de la Mare for the first time in nearly 30 years, where he met the current owners of a house he so very nearly bought all those years ago. From here, it was a walk across the flood plain of the Wylye River, along the road then up to the small National Nature Reserve of Wylye Down.  During Valentine's week Elaine decided on a walk to Lover, Bohemia and Paradise all in one day! Lover is famous for its Valentine's Day stamps that can be bought and posted from the village for those of a romantic disposition. It transpires that Paradise was misnamed, it being a wood plastered with “Private” signs.  Then Paul (together with his trusted walking buddy Stu) undertook what turned into an epic walk taking in West Lavington, Market Lavington and the Wessex Ridgeway. In heavy snow it felt like an arctic expedition. Plans to visit the churches in both villages were thwarted as they were both locked. Which is a shame as All Saint's Church in West Lavington contains a stunning engraved window, the work of Simon Whistler nephew of the artist Rex Whistler. It can though be seen from the A360 below as you sit in queues of traffic trying to squeeze through the narrow bends to the south of the village.  Finally, Paul did the relatively short George Herbert Walk in Salisbury, following in the footsteps of poet, rector, writer and musician George Herbert who, in the early 1630s, walked twice a week from his parish in Bemerton to Evensong at Salisbury Cathedral. Modern development means it is impossible to follow what was his likely route precisely but on a warm dry day this is a delightful walk across the water meadows by the Nadder.  Eventually we got on to the main subject of this episode of the podcast. Glyn, Elaine and Paul wrote a joint blog about some of their favourite Wiltshire nature reserves. It was neatly divided up according to the volunteering that three of us do.   Paul is a volunteer for Natural England who are responsible for six National Nature Reserves in Wiltshire. Paul focused on his three favourites, all of which he has worked at as part of his volunteering duties – Pewsey Downs, Prescombe Down and Parsonage Down.  Glyn is a volunteer at Wiltshire Wildlife Trust who have nearly 40 reserves in the county. Glyn does livestock checks for them at Dunscombe Buttom but in the podcast (and in the blog) he focuses on Morgan's Hill, Blakehill Farm and Stoke Common Meadows.  Finally, Elaine takes a look at Wiltshire's two RSPB reserves - Winterbourne Downs and Franchises Wood. Elaine is a volunteer at the beautiful Winterbourne Downs reserve outside Newton Tony and is also helping a PhD student at Southampton University who is doing a thesis about chalk streams. This involves Elaine visiting the River Bourne, a winterbourne that flows through Winterbourne Downs and Newton Tony, on a regular basis. Francises Wood is a relatively new and small reserve close to the New Forest.  Then on to the wrap up for this episode:  There are one or two copies of the first Hidden Wiltshire book together with a few more of the second book on the website.  Thanks as always go to Steve Dixon for the music. As usual the piece at the beginning and the end of the podcast is called “The Holloway”, whilst the piece in the middle is a new one from Steve entitled “Wansdyke”. Because of course we had planned to record this episode on a hill looking down on Wansdyke!  Links:  Elaine's blog about Kitt's Grave can be found here Searching for Kitt's Grave Revisited  Elaine's blog about Great Durnford and Ogbury Camp can be found here Great Durnford, Ogbury and the Flood  Elaine's blog about Clarendon Palace is here Clarendon Place After Storm Eunice  Paul's return to a French outpost in Wiltshire (it isn't) can be found here A French Enclave in Wiltshire?  Elaine's search for romanticism during Valentine's week can be found here Lover, Bohemia and Paradise  You can read about Paul's arctic adventure on Salisbury Plain here The Lavingtons and the Wessex Ridgeway  And finally, Paul's attempt to retrace the steps of George Herbert can be found here George Herbert Walk  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Wiltshire Wildlife Trust you can contact them here Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Volunteering  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the RSPB you can contact them here RSPB Volunteering  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Natural England they tend to do it on a reserve by reserve basis so we'd suggest contacting Paul via the Hidden Wiltshire Contact page on our website at Hidden Wiltshire Contact Us  Glyn's photographs can be seen  on his Instagram feed @coy_cloud He is also very active on Twitter where his username is @Glyndle  Paul's photography can be found on his website at Paul Timlett Photography and on Instagram at @tragicyclist  Steve Dixon's sound art can be found on Soundcloud where his username is River and Rail Steve Dixon River and Rail.

Police have arrested five suspected Just Stop Oil campaigners in Kent. They stopped a car in Westerham early this morning and seized climbing equipment and banners. It comes as a fourth day of action by the climate group takes place on the M25. It's all happening while Cop27 continues in Egypt and the man in charge of the Kent Wildlife Trust is urging the government to take decisive action. Hear from Evan Bowen-Jones who has been speaking to our reporter Jamie Long. Also in today's podcast, the mum of a little boy with special education news has reacted to a damning report on provision in Kent. Yesterday we told you how Ofsted had criticised the county council. Offensive graffiti, including Swastikas, has been spray painted over benches and shelters in a park near Maidstone. Meantime, people living close to a nature reserve near Sittingbourne are calling for lights and cameras to be installed following claims it's been used for lewd behaviour. A Chatham couple say they're devastated after being forced to move out of their flat due to severe water damage. Beth has been describing the problem which she says started back in March after Storm Eunice. You can also hear from the landlady of a popular pub near Sittingbourne who's announced her retirement after nearly 30 years behind the bar. And, reporter John Nurden has been catching up with the Wainscott teenager hoping to be the next Ed Sheeran. Tyler Watts is learning music at home with his mum and dad - but has been out busking in a bid to make the big time.

Since the main part of this podcast is about a short five mile walk we thought this would be a shorter episode than normal. But how wrong we were. We still managed to blather on for what seemed like hours! We kick off with some concerning news about some unedifying scenes in the Facebook Group today with a discussion about Paul's bottom. This is a family show and we've no idea what prompted such a debate. Much!! Despite eye watering petrol and diesel prices we've managed to get out a little in the last two weeks. Glyn had a weekend in Wells but that's in Somerset so we're not interested! But he did see the sad spectacle of the broken spire of St Thomas' Church, blown down during Storm Eunice like a scene from Hot Fuzz, also filmed in Wells. Meanwhile Paul had a reminder of how grim London is, but since that's not in Wiltshire we're not interested in that either. But Paul did manage to do a day long walk based in the hills around Aldbourne, visiting the site of the abandoned village of Snap on the way. We're grateful to Andrew Rumsey, Bishop of Ramsbury, for helping us find it. There's a link to his fantastic book, English Grounds, below. Paul posted a blog with lots of photographs of the walk on 9 March. There's a link to it below. We'll do a podcast about it sometime. Another recent blog posted on the website was one about the Russian scientist Vladimir Artemovich Pasechnik who defected in the 1980s and moved to Shrewton. He worked at the UK Department of Health's Centre for Applied Microbiology & Research (CAMR) at Porton Down and went on to do some ground breaking research into tuberculosis and other drug resistant infections. He is buried in one of the churchyards in the village. You'll find a link to the blog below. Otherwise, Glyn has been playing with his new toy, a 360 degree camera which he's managed to hook up to our outside recording equipment. Watch out for content produced with this gear in the future. If it ever stops raining. Meanwhile Paul has walked a few of his regular routes onto Salisbury Plain. The current extensive Army training exercises and the heavy armour have made a dreadful mess of the sodden ground on the Plains. But nearby the haven that is Parsonage Down is beginning to show the first signs of Spring and there's been some interesting research taking place about the impact of grazing on the flora there. Our main subject this week is the walk that Paul and his walking buddy Stu did in November 2021 which was the subject of a Blog dated 26 November entitled Medieval Inglesham – Three Counties Walk. Continuing this episode's theme of straying beyond Wiltshire this walk in the extreme north-east of the county involved brief forays into neighbouring Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. But this was necessary in order to reach our objective. This part of Wiltshire forms a finger shaped wedge into Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. But we began the walk in Lechlade-on-Thames in Gloucestershire, and very nearly got no further than the splendid Sourdough Revolution artisan bakery and café. We could quite happily have stayed there all morning! But we were on a mission so we re-crossed Halfpenny Bridge and followed the south side of the Thames, safely back in Wiltshire, en-route to our objective – the Church of St John the Baptist at Inglesham via a thoroughly ugly lock-keepers cottage that looked like a concrete cooling tower on the way.  We were concerned the church might be locked but were relieved to find it open. And oh my, what a sight awaited us as we opened first one door then another. We'll leave you to read the blog and look at the photographs but suffice to say this spectacular and unique little church was thoroughly worth the trip. And of course, having forgotten what he'd had for breakfast this morning, Paul managed to also forget that he'd posted something on the Hidden Wiltshire Facebook page about a feature on Channel 5 about the church where Tony Robinson interviewed our favourite stonemason Andrew Ziminksi. It was broadcast on 8 October 2021. From the church the walk took us to Buscot Weir via Buscot Wick before returning to Lechlade via the Thames path, criss-crossing counties as we went. We passed by the impressive Buscot Old Parsonage where American voices were to be heard. In the podcast Paul said he didn't know who owned it after its previous owner, art collector Peter Francis Carew Stucley, died in 1964. Subsequent reading revealed it is now owned by the National Trust who also own nearby Buscot Park. Stucley's will stated that the property should be rented furnished to American citizens actively pursuing literary, artistic or academic studies. And it clearly is to this day. In all the walk was a flat and easy five miles, although at this time of year it may be boggy in places. Then on to the wrap up: Steve Dixon's piece leading into our main subject today is called “Fragile” because it sounds as though it was performed on a church organ! As ever the piece in the introduction and at the end of the podcast is entitled “The Holloway”. Don't forget to check out the Hidden Wiltshire online shop on the website if you'd like to help us keep the lights on. Both Hidden Wiltshire books can be purchased there. The second book is also available at Devizes Bookshop, Wiltshire Museum in Devizes and now Wiltshire's libraries. And don't forget to subscribe to the Hidden Wiltshire Newsletter from the website.

Clare explores a rural route near the Worcestershire village of Guarlford. Storm Eunice has just left, Franklin is underway and the River Severn is up so this is a last-minute change to the planned walk. Originally Clare and her guest, poet Catherine Swire, had planned to hike the first stretch of the Monarch's Way which runs along the banks of the Rivers Teme and Severn in Worcester but flooding has pushed them a little further south. Catherine has recently published her first book of poetry, 'Soil', which takes the theme of historic trauma and explores how it is etched on our landscape. Worcester was the site of the first proper skirmish, and the last battle, of the English Civil War, something featured within Catherine's work. The Monarch's Way is a long distance path which traces the very indirect escape route - from Worcester to Suffolk - of Charles II after his loss at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. Guarlford (not on the Monarch's Way) is about two miles east of Great Malvern, and a good mile and a half west of the River Severn - hopefully far enough to keep their feet dry. The grid reference for their starting point in Guarlford is SO 813 453. The map is OS Explorer 190 Malvern Hills and Bredon Hill Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Clare and Kev upgrade Matt to official guest, they battle with sound issues and we're going to totally blame it on Storm Eunice. They talk weather, cancelled races and Kev manages to insult almost everyone... Enjoy!

As Poland recovers from Storm Eunice, are such winds going to become the new normal as a result of climate change? We have recently had some severe weather in Poland and right across Europe with Storm Eunice. Over a million people were left without power across the country while heavy winds topping 120 km/h even caused a number of fatalities. Is this weather becoming the new normal and what can we do to prepare ourselves better for such extreme conditions? In the studio host John Beauchamp speaks to geographer and marine meteorologist Michał Brennek. You can find out more about what Michał does here, and for the Polish speakers among you, be sure to also check out the Nauka o Klimacie website.

It's a rather different show on Riot Act this week. Steve and Remfry spend the majority of the show paying tribute to a musical hero in the aftermath of the news of Mark Lanegan's passing at the age of 57. From Screaming Trees to Queens of the Stone Age to his solo material and guest appearances on releases from the likes of Cult of Luna, Manic Street Preachers and The Armed, Lanegan has been one of our most covered artists on this show and we have seldom been anything other than awestruck by his magnificent voice, poignant lyrics and vast range and brave decision making as an artist. So it felt right that we dedicate the majority of the show to talk about our feelings on losing him. There is more sad news as we also pay tribute to Jamal Edwards, who also passed away at the age of 31 this week, and talk about his incredible work in helping the early careers of everyone from Dave and Stormzy to Ed Sheeran and Rita Ora. We also discuss the latest releases by Bambara and Blood Incantation, ask why Tool are charging nearly £600 for a vinyl and examine the damage done to the O2 Arena in London after Storm Eunice ripped parts of its roof off.

In a week where: Wales implement a two-year living wage for 18-year-olds leaving care. A black woman in America has been cured of HIV.  Storm Eunice & Franklin tear through the UK. The Queen has tested positive for covid. Russia vs 'The West' continues. In Music: (5:23) Jamal Edwards died aged 31. A tragic loss of a person that was a major figure in what is now the vibrant UK Rap/Hip-Hop/MOBO scene all the way back in the mid-00s and forever.In Society: (17:58) Remember last week where I mentioned that Russian oligarchs have been given keys to London, figuratively & literally? Well, here's a whole segment about it.In Sports: (32:53) The Winter Olympics are over. And whilst I could make the case it was the worst Olympics in recent memory, I thought it'd be more beneficial to talk about something rarely explored, the mental health of the Olympians, post-games.Lastly, in Media: (47:49) We all have someone we love from afar. Whether it's a streamer, musician or shitposter. But those are parasocial relationships and I feel we all need to be reminded from time to time.Thank you for listening!

Homeowners on a new-build estate in Ashford say they regret moving there after tiles and cladding were ripped off during Storm Eunice. Strong winds hit the county last Friday leaving a number of properties at Chilmington Green damaged. We've spoken to the owner of one property who says they shouldn't have been so badly affected as they're less than two years old. Also in today's podcast, the Prime Minister has addressed the nation after Russian forces invaded eastern Ukraine. Kent's MP have also been reacting - hear from South Thanet's Craig Mackinlay. We've got an update on a story about changes to school transport for thousands of children in Kent with disabilities and special educational needs. They've been introduced following a shake-up of the system by the county council. For some, it means they're now picked up by different drivers - and many haven't been able to cope with the changes. We've been speaking to a mum from Swanscombe. There's reaction to all Covid restrictions in England being scrapped today. And, find out where in Kent the 2024 Subbuteo World Cup is going to be held.

This week we discuss Storm Eunice, Cody Rhodes, ball thieving children and an interview with the best barber in the land big Jon Franklyn. Strong language & adult humour throughout.

Emergency crews are clearing fallen trees and working to restore power to hundreds of thousands of people, as Storm Eunice leaves months of repair works in its wake.

Snuggle up comfortably as you join us on the NB Erica for a wild night and day as we ride the storms Dudley and Eunice. The poems of Ted Hughes, Louis MacNeice, A.A. Milne, William Blake, and John Betjeman keep us company as they take us through a day of roaring wind and rattling rain-squalls.   Please note, the audio for this episode has been intentionally kept ‘dirty' to capture the ambient sounds of a storm as experienced on a narrowboat and so any bangs, clicks, clunks, and other background noises are entirely deliberate!Journal entry:“16th February, Wednesday.21:15Storm Dudley batters the boat,  The world roars and shakes with a crashing frenzy of noise Like bed linen whipping and cracking on a gale-harried washing line. Curtains of rain laced with twigs sluice against the windows.It is a night for wild souls who can match this night, storm for storm, And who run as free as starlight and hawthorn blossom.”Episode Information:In this episode I read the following poems (see episode chapters for time locations):Ted Hughes: ‘Wind' from his first collection Hawk in the Rain (1957) published by Faber and Faber.Louis MacNeice: ‘House on a cliff' from his collection Blind Fireworks (1929) subsequently published in collections by Faber and Faber.A.A. Milne: ‘The wind on the hill' from his Now We are Six (1927) now published by Egmont (2009). William Blake: ‘Mock on. mock on, Voltaire and Rousseau' (1796)John Betjeman: ‘Harrow on the Hill' (1949) published first in A Few Late Chrysanthemums (1953) by in various later collections and anthologies like The Best of Betjeman (1978) published by Penguin Books.  General DetailsIn the intro and the outro, Saint-Saen's The Swan is performed by Karr and Bernstein (1961) and available on CC at archive.org.

The internet age has meant people were better prepared for Storm Eunice than they were for the Great Storm of 1987. Widespread warnings issued online in advance should be “a mitigating factor against people dying” compared with 35 years ago, when information was not so widely available. But were we really ready? Mark and Pete have the answers.

In the wake of Storm Eunice a special fun-filled BONUS episode to listen along to as you pick up your roof slates off the lawn and extract next door's cat from the trellis! Tyler talks with actor John Dagleish, who is currently wowing audiences as the eponymous Spike in Ian Hislop & Nick Newman's new play which is enjoying packed houses at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury (on until 5th March so book soon!) As listeners to last month's Nick Newman episode will know, ‘Spike' explores Spike Milligan's often fractious relationship with the BBC during the height of his Goon Show fame. John talks about the challenge of bringing such a complex and multifaceted character to life on the stage, discovering the Goon Show as a child, learning to master a tricky musical instrument for the role, the joy of working alongside such talented fellow performers as Jeremy Lloyd, George Kemp and Margaret Cabourn-Smith, and even throws in a funny voice or two.

Storm Eunice latest. Plus, Simon Marks' American Week

Meteorologists claim storm Eunice could be as bad as the great storm of ‘87, as highest weather warning is issued. Meta says it now has 300,000 users on its Horizon Worlds VR platform. It's designed for people with the Quest VR headset, and lets people build custom environments to hang out and play games in. GCHQ warns key industries to tighten up their cybersecurity, as tensions rise between Russia and the west on the Ukraine border. We're being warned climate change could cause a drop in supply of chocolate, and bananas.Plus: Hackers target Microsoft teams with trojan malware, our mental speed stays strong until 60, Peloton's Lanebreak video game finally arrives, and Caspar Lee teases new tech to help brands improve their marketing.

On today's podcast, Storm Eunice has been causing chaos in Kent, with lorries blown over, public transport closures and trees toppling. We speak to Southeastern Railway and EuroTunnel about how they're coping. We also chat to the RNLI and Kent Fire and Rescue Service about the work that is going into keeping people safe.   Also today, an inquest has heard how a trainee pilot crashed a plane on purpose in Romney Marsh, after finding out he had terminal cancer. Our reporter, Alex Jee, has been at the hearing.   And, Gillingham will be hoping to get back to winning ways tomorrow, as they try to keep up their bid for League One survival.     

Social media video clips are getting shorter and shorter and now YouTube is pushing its ‘Shorts' feature more prominently.    Channels will include a new area for short clips, of up to 60 seconds in duration.   The advantage YouTube has over TikTok and Instagram is since it's owned by Google, ‘Shorts' could be indexed by the search giant and made to appear on the front page of the Google search listings.   As the ultra short video phenomenal grows, it's only a matter of time until mainstream broadcast television starts showing that format.     If you've never used ‘dark mode' on your phone or computer it might be worth trying it. Many who have will tell you it's the best decision they made and they'll never go back.   Fans of dark mode say it's easier on their eyes, if you're prone to reading on screen at night or during low light it will reduce glare and makes your battery last longer.   Dive into settings and turn dark mode on to try it and it's also available within particular software, platforms and individual websites.   Once again the weather is likely to take centre stage today with Storm Eunice expected to cause serious disruption. There's a red weather warning in place for parts of the south of England, amber through the rest of the country and yellow across much of Scotland.   Remember the Met Office has a terrific, award winning TikTok channel, find it @metoffice and the official website, metoffice.gov.uk.   For unofficial, amateur weather discussion you might like Windy Wilson Weather on Facebook.

Meteorologists in the UK have issued a rare danger-to-life alert as Storm Eunice is forecast to batter parts of the country Friday, potentially creating a "sting jet" that could bring havoc to streets.On Thursday, the UK's weather service, the Met Office, issued the rare red alert -- the highest weather warning category in the UK -- warning that Eunice is forecast to bring "significant and damaging" gusts of up to 90 mph and threaten life.It could also bring high waves and coastal flooding in the west, southwest and south coast of England, the Met Office said.The warnings come as thousands of people remain without power in the UK's north after Storm Dudley brought down trees and cut households from the grid.Dudley hit England's north, Scotland's south and Northern Ireland on Wednesday, disrupting railways, roads and businesses with high winds and local flooding.Peter Inness, a meteorologist at England's University of Reading, said that the back-to-back storms had formed as a result of a strong 200 mph jet steam blowing across the Atlantic Ocean. It is not unusual to see "two or more damaging storms" form in quick succession, he said in a statement.But what makes Eunice potentially "rare" and more potent is that it could evolve into a "sting jet" -- a "narrow, focused region of extremely strong winds" amid a "larger area of strong winds."The Met Office is urging people to only travel if "necessary" and warned drivers that road closures could be in place on Friday. People across the UK should also secure outdoor furniture and bins, and should avoid parking near trees.Severe storms more frequentMet Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey told CNN he expected Friday's storm to have "high impacts," with flying debris and damage to homes likely."It's developing out in the Atlantic at present, [and] it's heading directly for the UK so to speak," he said. "It will clear out of the UK over the course of Friday and travel towards Denmark and the Scandinavian countries."Vautrey said that, while it was "too early" to say whether storms Dudley and Eunice were "aided by climate change," such strong storms were becoming more common."We've definitely seen the frequency of severe weather alter due to climate change," he said."Global warming has led to changes in our weather patterns, and that is something we will increasingly have to take note of and be ready to deal with in the future."Hannah Cloke, a professor of hydrology at the University of Reading, warned people not to take the red alert "lightly.""Red means you need to act now because there is an imminent danger to life," she said in a statement."Winds of 70 mph will uproot trees, which can block roads and crush cars or buildings. They can pick up roof tiles and hurl them around. If you're hit by one of those you will be seriously hurt or killed. Wind that strong will sweep people and vehicles off streets, and topple electricity lines."- by Sara Spary, CNN

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site. Soms zijn er van die dagen dat alles anders loopt. En vandaag is zo' dag. Storm Eunice raast over het land heen en dat gooit hele indeling van de crew omver. Want geen OV. Gelukkig hebben we een aantal bikkels op de redactie die weer en vooral wind trotseerden om toch vanuit de studio Einde van de Week Live te doen. Zonder stagiaires en dus niemand om te schakelen. Maar fuck dat, dan gaan we multitasken. Zodat we het kunnen hebben over Ubisoft. Er komen een hoop nieuwe games aan, maar zit er kwaliteit bij? Iets wat ons enthousiast maakt? En is Ubisoft te koop of niet? Verder praten de heren over Battlefield 2042 en Halo. Wat hebben die met elkaar gemeen? Een ander interessant onderwerp is de nieuwe studio van de maker van The Witcher 3 en natuurlijk de launch van Horizon Forbidden West. Je gaat het allemaal zien in deze editie van EvdWL. Horizon Forbidden West dag! Het is de officiële launchday van Horizon Forbidden West. Daar zijn we allemaal blij mee over. Daarom gaan we het er ook even over hebben. Het is en blijft verder een uiterst drukke maand. Het is immers Fabulous February natuurlijk. Over een week kunnen we bijvoorbeeld ook losgaan met Elden Ring. Of de nieuwe uitbreiding van Destiny 2. De twee mannen hebben het ook over Playstation. Want die gaan mogelijk vol inzetten op Marvel. Met een games. Geloven we dit gerucht en juichen we het toe? Dit en nog veel meer zie en hoor je in EvdWL van 18 februari. 50 euro Steam tegoed bij aankoop van een MSI laptop met een 12e generatie Intel Processor De eerste MSI-laptops met de nieuwste 12e generatie Intel processor aan boord, zijn nu te koop. Ze zijn onder andere verkrijgbaar bij Informatique, Megekko en Azerty. Alle info over de laptops en verkoop plus hoe je 50 euro Steam tegoed bij aankoop kunt bemachtigen, vind je hier.

Are you prepared for Storm Eunice?

On today's podcast, we look ahead as Storm Eunice makes it's way towards the county. A Kent farmer has spoken out, as part of a campaign to raise awareness of mental health issues within the industry. A Kent teacher's warning the situation with coronavirus in schools is still extremely difficult and complicated. A driver in Herne Bay claims she was abused by motorists, after rushing to help a woman who tripped over. And... A Kent pub has been awarded its first Michelin star .
