Eigentlich hätte bereits 2020 in Basel das Eidgenössische Jodlerfest stattfinden sollen. Nun ist es endlich so weit. Nur wenige Tage vor dem Start des 32. Eidgenössischen Jodlerfests Basel steht der SRF Musikwelle Brunch ganz im Zeichen des grössten Volkskultur-Anlasses der Schweiz. Vom 26. bis 28. Juni werden in Basel rund 12'000 Aktive und etwa 200'000 Besucherinnen und Besucher erwartet. Unter dem Motto «Stadt und Land mitenand» verwandelt sich die Basler Innenstadt in ein grosses Festgelände mit Jodlerdorf, Jodlermeile und Jodlerberg. Zu Gast bei Sämi Studer ist Carlo Conti, der OK-Präsident des Eidgenössischen Jodlerfests. Für ihn geht mit dem Fest ein lang gehegter Wunsch in Erfüllung. Bereits 2020 und später nochmals 2021 hätte Basel Gastgeber des Eidgenössischen Jodlerfests sein sollen. Nun kann der Grossanlass endlich stattfinden. Carlo Conti spricht über die letzten Vorbereitungen, die Herausforderungen eines Fests dieser Grösse und seine persönlichen Höhepunkte. Ebenfalls zu Gast ist Marianne Leibundgut, Präsidentin des Jodlerklubs Echo Basel. Der Verein gehört zu den sechs Trägervereinen des Eidgenössischen Jodlerfests und steht stellvertretend für die lebendige Jodelszene der Region. Während in Basel in den vergangenen Jahren mehrere Jodlerchöre mangels Nachwuchs verschwunden sind, entwickelt sich der Jodlerklub Echo Basel erfreulich. Zum Verein gehören heute auch Mitglieder mit ausländischen Wurzeln, darunter zwei Ukrainerinnen. Marianne Leibundgut erzählt, wie Tradition und Offenheit zusammenfinden und weshalb das Jodeln Menschen unterschiedlichster Herkunft begeistern kann.

Simone Walther Büel hat in diesem Podcast die promovierte Neurowissenschaftlerin Barbara Studer zu Gast. Sie erzählt ihr, was sie am Thema Gehirn so fasziniert und weshalb sie dieses Wissen auch anderen Menschen näher bringen will. Sie beantwortet Simone Walther Büel folgende Fragen: 01:14 Barbara Studer, du bist promovierte Neurowissenschaftlerin, Unternehmerin und Musikerin und sehr vielseitig unterwegs. Sag uns zum Start gerade selbst kurz: Wer ist eigentlich Barbara Studer? 02:53 Barbara du bist schon eine Art «Promi», im Moment sieht man dich auf sehr vielen verschiedenen Kanälen. Wie erklärst du dir das, dass das Thema Gehirn und wie man dieses gesund halten kann auf so grosse Resonanz stösst? 03:50 Unser Gehirn ist ein Organ mit vielen Facetten. Was war bei dir der Auslöser, der dazu geführt hat, dass du Hirnforscherin werden wolltest? 07:17 Deine Themenpalette ist breit: Sie geht von der Frage, wie wirken sich Smartphones auf unsere Kinder aus, über was für eine Wirkung haben Farben und Musik auf unser Gehirn bis zu Tipps und Tricks, wie man sein Gehirn fit halten kann. Welches ist dein persönliches Lieblingsthema im Zusammenhang mit dem Gehirn? 10:54 In sehr vielen Interviews wirst du auf das Thema Kinder und Smartphones angesprochen. Wie ist hier deine Haltung? Und wie lebst du das mit deinen eigenen drei Kindern? 17:35 Denkst du, dass deine klare Haltung hier auch andere Eltern motivieren und inspirieren kann konsequent zu bleiben und ihre Kinder möglichst lange ohne Smartphone aufwachsen zu lassen? 20:04 Das Gehirn fit halten. Da denken viele an Dinge wie Sudoku, Kreuzworträtsel und Knobelaufgaben. Aber da gehört ja noch viel mehr dazu. Was benötigt unser Gehirn denn eigentlich alles, damit es gesund bleibt? 23:21 Sehr wichtig, dass man sich immer wieder bewusst macht, dass auch Bewegung, gesund essen, Natur, Zusammensein mit anderen Menschen und sich austauschen ganz wichtige Aspekte für unsere Gehirngesundheit sind. Gerade die sozialen Kontakte mit anderen Menschen spielen eine wichtige Rolle, wie man auch in der Demenzforschung herausgefunden hat. Kannst du uns da noch etwas mehr dazu sagen? 27:58 Dein Vater hatte Depressionen und nahm sich das Leben, als du 22 Jahre alt warst. Das hat dazu geführt, dass du dich in deinem Psychologiestudium neu orientiert und spezialisiert hast. Was weisst du heute über den Einfluss von psychischen Erkrankungen auf das Gehirn? 31:32 Und wie hilft dir dieses Wissen im Umgang mit dem Tod von deinem Vater? 34:12 Mit deinem Unternehmen Hirncoach bietest du verschiedene Programme an, die einen dabei unterstützen sein Gehirn fit zu halten. An wen richtet sich dieses Angebot? Und wie muss ich mir das konkret vorstellen? 35:30 Letztes Jahr hast du zusätzlich noch ein Buch zum Thema geschrieben. Es heisst Hirnpower und ist im Beobachterverlag herausgekommen. Was für Reaktionen hast du auf dein Buch erhalten? 36:56 Hast du die Übungen im Buch alle selber auch an dir und zusammen mit deiner Familie getestet? 39:37 Unser Gehirn ist ja grundsätzlich darauf ausgerichtet, möglichst wenig Energie zu verbrauchen. Also eigentlich nicht gerade die besten Voraussetzungen für Gehirntrainingsübungen, oder? 41:59 Was hast du für eine Empfehlung, dass sie ihrem Gehirn auch im stressigen Alltag genug Aufmerksamkeit schenken können? 44:17 Wir werden heute von allen Seiten mit Reizen überschwemmt, Social Media lässt grüssen. Was macht das mit unserem Gehirn und wie können wir uns hier selbst schützen? 47:02 Auch in aller Munde ist KI. Etwas provokativ gefragt: Werden wir in Zukunft immer dümmer, weil unser Gehirn sich nicht mehr selbst anstrengen muss?

It's a weekly set of calculation exercises. Noel gave extensive, actionable improvement advice. He focused on doing the critical stuff, calculation, tactics, and playing.

Join Zoe and Solomon for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Micah Studer as he shares his radical journey from growing up in Washington state, discovering a calling to love his enemies in the midst of war, moving to the Middle East at age 20, and learning what it truly means to bear witness to Jesus by simply being present, listening well, and letting the Holy Spirit prepare hearts through dreams, visions, and divine appointments. This episode unpacks what it looks like to move from cultural Christianity to cross-cultural mission, from religious performance to sincere presence, and from waiting for angelic signs to simply going and doing something in response to the needs God makes you aware of. The episode also dives into Micah's years working with Syrian refugees on the Jordanian border, distributing aid every week as God miraculously provided the budget through envelopes and phone calls, and the story of a refugee woman who had a dream that two foreign girls would come to her door with a book containing all the answers for her life. Discover why Micah's advice to aspiring missionaries is to stop waiting for an angel to appear and just go do something, buy a plane ticket, open your heart to the needs around you, and live by the motto see a need and meet a need. This is a story about the faithfulness of God in preparing hearts, the power of presence over programs, and the call within the call that comes when we simply say yes to Jesus and follow Him wherever He leads. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Setup 01:28 Growing Up in Washington: A Family of Preachers 05:42 Teenage Years: Marked by Missionary Stories 08:01 The Call to Love Your Enemies 09:37 Buying a One-Way Ticket to Turkey 11:37 Moving to Jordan: Language Learning and Cultural Adjustment 13:35 The Vision on the Street: God's Heart for Muslims 18:10 Turning on the Light: Natural Evangelism 20:31 The Terrorist's Friend: Love Over Arguments 24:15 The Power of Listening: Five Minutes to Share 31:13 Syrian Refugees: Pivoting to Crisis Response 33:47 The Dream and the Bible: God Prepares Hearts 36:22 Advice for Aspiring Missionaries: Just Go Do Something 38:40 See a Need, Meet a Need: The Call Within the Call 42:16 Closing Reflections: Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thewayuk/ FOLLOW US ON TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewayuk/ Want to know more?

This week on The Business of Watches, we're in Hölstein, Switzerland, near Basel, at the peach-rose colored headquarters of Oris to talk to Rolf Studer, the brand's Chief Executive Officer. One of the 50 largest Swiss brands by sales, Oris is a true independent, making mechanical watches at fair prices, conveying the brand's unique spirit. Its history dates back to 1904, with boom times in the 1960s that were kick-started by the tireless legal and lobbying work of Dr. Rolf Portmann, an Oris executive (and honorary chairman today), whose efforts led to overturning the Swiss Watch Statute in 1966 that had prevented Oris and many other brands from using Swiss lever escapements in their watch movements. Some 60 years later, Oris is marking that milestone with its Star Edition, an updated version of the Star, the first Oris watch to use a Swiss lever escapement after the law was changed. Portmann and Ulrich Herzog (now the Chairman) went on to lead a management buyout of Oris in 1982, which solidified the company's position as an independent brand. Studer, who has been co-CEO since 2016 and was appointed CEO last month, discusses Oris' positioning and strategy in the current market, where the strong Swiss franc is challenging it and fellow watchmakers. Oris has responded with models that not only offer value to customers but also draw on its storied history and the unique community culture it has fostered. Studer makes the case for why crafted mechanical objects like a Swiss-made watch can deliver the satisfaction and joy that come only from a considered, well-made product, and for how Oris remains committed to making watches and operating in ways that continually express its considered, deeply held values. But first, Hodinkee editor TanTan Wang pops in to talk about Oris and give a brief debrief from Watches and Wonders, noting some of the highlights from the industry's biggest and most important gathering, including offerings from Chopard and Cartier.

Nicolas Senn begibt sich auf eine musikalische Reise zu Orten und Menschen, die «Potzmusig» in den vergangenen 14 Jahren geprägt haben. Er besucht langjährige Wegbegleiter und blickt auf unvergessliche Momente zurück. Zudem erfüllt sich der Moderator einen persönlichen Herzenswunsch. Im August 2012 präsentierte der damals 23-jährige Nicolas Senn seine erste Fernsehsendung – und legte damit den Grundstein für die Erfolgsgeschichte von «Potzmusig». 250 Sendungen später steht noch immer das Herzstück im Mittelpunkt: die authentische Schweizer Volksmusik. Unzählige Musikerinnen und Musiker standen im Laufe der Jahre bei «Potzmusig» auf der Bühne – Jodlerinnen und Jodler, Instrumentalistinnen und Instrumentalisten, ganze Dorfmusikvereine, bekannte Grössen ebenso wie vielversprechende Newcomer. In der Jubiläumssendung besucht Nicolas Senn unter anderen die Familienkapelle Tüüfner Gruess. Vater Werner hat mit seinen Söhnen die Sendung «Stadt, Land, Talent» gewonnen. Die damaligen «Töfflibuebe» sind mittlerweile erwachsen und in der Ausbildung. Aber gemeinsam musiziert wird immer noch. Ein weiteres Wiedersehen gibt es mit Sämi Studer, dem Jodler aus dem Entlebuch. Er ist nicht nur ein geschätzter musikalischer Gast, sondern auch Arbeitskollege von Nicolas Senn bei Radio SRF Musikwelle. Er unterstützt den «Potzmusig»-Moderator unter anderem mit seinem brillanten Fachwissen bei Festumzügen. Eine Kostprobe seines Jodelterzetts Seetal darf in der Jubiläumssendung selbstverständlich nicht fehlen. Ein ganz besonderer Moment erwartet Nicolas Senn zudem an der Delegiertenversammlung des Eidgenössischen Jodlerverbands: Der Gesamtchor mit mindestens 250 Jodlerinnen und Jodlern stimmt ein Ständchen zum Jubiläum an. Zum Abschluss führt die Reise nach Salzburg. Dort trifft Nicolas Senn den international bekannten Musiker Herbert Pixner, einen der grossen Stars der alpenländischen Musik, dessen Konzerte regelmässig ausverkauft sind. Vor dem Konzert kommt es zu einem persönlichen Gespräch und zu gemeinsamem Musizieren mit Pixner und seiner Band – ein Traum, der für Nicolas Senn in Erfüllung geht.

Eisige Kälte bis minus 80 Grad, monatelange Dunkelheit und eine Umgebung, die lebensfeindlicher kaum sein könnte: Die Schweizer Ärztin Jessica Studer hat ein Jahr lang an einem der isoliertesten Orte der Erde gelebt und gearbeitet – auf der Forschungsstation Concordia im Herzen der Antarktis. Dort untersuchte sie im Auftrag der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation (ESA), wie extreme Isolation und Umweltbedingungen den menschlichen Körper und die Psyche beeinflussen – Erkenntnisse, die künftig auch für Langzeitmissionen im Weltraum entscheidend sein können. Doch der Weg dorthin verlief nicht geradlinig. Schon früh faszinierte Jessica Studer sowohl Wissenschaft als auch Musik: Sie studierte zunächst Klavier und unterrichtete, bevor sie sich entschied, ihren Kindheitstraum zu verfolgen und eine medizinische Laufbahn einzuschlagen. Diese ungewöhnliche Kombination aus künstlerischer Sensibilität, wissenschaftlicher Neugier und persönlicher Entschlossenheit prägt seither ihren Weg. In Musik für einen Gast erzählt Jessica Studer über ihre Erfahrung in der Antarktis, über Kälte und Isolation, aber auch über ihre Liebe zur Musik und ihre Fähigkeit, immer wieder eigene Grenzen zu überschreiten. Die Musiktitel: - Richard Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra (aus «2001 - A Space Odyssey») (Wiener Philharmoniker; Herbert von Karajan, Leitung) - Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama - Karlheinz Stockhausen: Löwe (Sonne), aus «Tierkreis» (Capilla Flamenca & Het Collectief) - Santana: Smooth - Arvo Pärt: Alina (Alice Sara Ott, Klavier) - The Allman Brothers Band: Jessica
This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Lloyd. He runs the Balanced Rook Chess Club in Colorado Springs.

We discussed his success as a child playing chess, his retirement, and return to chess. Lloyd hopes to continue improving and return to tournament play soon, but he's also loving the ratings free approach.

Karl Studer's story is one of grit, vision, and staying rooted in where you came from.In this episode of Powerline Podcast, Ryan sits down with Karl Studer, Executive Vice President Electric for Quanta Services, to unpack his journey from growing up on a ranch in Idaho to becoming a lineman, building and scaling his own power line companies, and ultimately stepping into executive leadership at one of the largest infrastructure companies in the world.Karl shares the lessons he learned early on in the field, what it really takes to start and grow a line company, and how his time on the tools shaped the leader he is today. We dive into leadership, safety, culture, fatherhood, and why staying connected to the craft matters even at the highest levels of the organization.This conversation is about more than titles and success. It's about work ethic, responsibility, building people, and leaving the trade better than you found it.If you're a lineman, an apprentice, a foreman, or someone who believes in the long-term value of the trades, this episode will resonate.
This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Mike. We talked about his journey, starting from the bottom. He talked about starting at 600 and working his way up by doing tactics, openings, and playing games. Mike discussed his improvement plan, which includes flashcards, Chessbook, and tactics books like Polgar's Chess Tactics for Champions. He also talked about lessons from his career as a pilot, lessons learned from this podcast, and his improvement plan. This is a great podcast for anyone near the beginning of their journey. It's full of a lot of useful advice.

In this episode of AGE BETTER, I sit down with Dr. Mike Studer—one of the world's leading neuroplasticity experts and author of The Brain That Chooses Itself—to talk about something every woman in midlife needs to hear: your brain is far more adaptable than you've ever been told. We dig into what it really means to “choose” your health, why personal values amplify every wellness practice, and how the science of dopamine and reward pathways shapes the decisions we make every single day. Mike breaks down the overwhelming flood of health information we're all navigating and shares how to cut through the noise by grounding your choices in what matters most to you. This is a conversation about clarity, empowerment, and understanding the brain science behind everyday decisions—so you can age better, starting now. Takeaways We are inundated with health and wellness information—and it's not always helpful. Understanding choice is foundational to effective healthcare. Personal beliefs and values amplify the impact of health practices. Dopamine plays a powerful role in decision-making and motivation. The brain's reward pathways guide our habits more than we realize. Clear values help cut through information overload. Scientific principles can strengthen your health decisions. Effective healthcare begins with aligning choices to your priorities. Health regulations and recommendations can be overwhelming—so knowing your values matters. Prioritizing choice and values leads to more meaningful, sustainable wellness.
