Podcasts about Svalbard

Adventure photographer Dan Milner has spent three decades turning a bike into a passport. From North Korea to Afghanistan, from camping among polar bears in Svalbard to being buried by a 10-day Alaskan blizzard, his career has been about chasing risk, chasing stories, and suffering for the photo. During this episode we get into the infamous 1994 MBUK self-timer 'selfie' that started it all, smuggling bikes onto gondolas in flip-flops, why real risk changes as you age, the strange normality of Pyongyang, bivvying through a typhoon with minders in polythene raincoats, and the wild beauty of Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor. Dan also opens up about leaving Chamonix after 24 years for a biodiversity project on the Isle of Skye, the demise of magazines versus short form content, mentoring the next generation, and where AI does (and doesn't) fit into adventure storytelling. We hope you enjoy the fascinating look into one of the world's most respected adventure photographers.  The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

In this candid and raw Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode, we reconnect with the unstoppable Vedangi Kulkarni — the youngest woman to have cycled around the world, who's recently returned from doing it again. Now based in Inverness, Scotland, Vedangi opens up about her second attempt at cycling around the globe — this time not just for the journey, but in pursuit of a Guinness World Record. From racing Lael Wilcox to navigating border delays, funding pressures, and the relentless physical and mental toll of riding across five continents, Vedangi doesn't hold back.  This conversation is about pushing limits, embracing failures, and finding strength when things don't go to plan. Highlights from the episode include: Breaking a record in the Himalayas (Manali–Leh Highway) in 2023 Preparing to cycle the world again in 2024 — and finding sponsorship, gear, and coaching Struggles of travelling on an Indian passport and the challenge of visa logistics Being delayed at borders, detained, and ultimately forced to return to the UK mid-ride due to visa expiry Restarting in 2025, finishing the ride under the blazing Indian summer sun Dealing with the post-expedition blues and finding her footing again Vedangi's story is one of resilience, honesty, and fierce determination. Despite knowing she wouldn't get the world record, she kept going — driven by passion, grit, and the belief that stories worth telling are born from adversity. Now, she's looking ahead to her next expedition, ramping up her YouTube and Substack presence, and continuing to speak openly about the realities of life as a woman of colour in adventure sport.  Heads-up: This episode includes some strong language.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Some 300 polar bears live in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. But with sea ice rapidly receding due to climate change, researchers are trying to understand how the animals are adapting. FRANCE 24's Olivier Morin, Matthew Kay and Solenn Marcoux report.

Send us a textJoe Sills never expected to become a travel writer. Growing up in a small town in West Tennessee surrounded by cotton fields and limited horizons, he couldn't imagine that the places he saw on Discovery Channel would one day become his workplace. After a winding path that included dropped college courses, pizza delivery and graphic design, a workplace shooting became the catalyst that pushed him back toward journalism and eventually into a career documenting some of the world's most remote and vulnerable places.What began as simple wanderlust – "planting flags and checking off countries" as he candidly admits – evolved into something far more meaningful. Today, Sills focuses his camera and storytelling abilities on conservation efforts, sustainable tourism initiatives and giving voice to communities on the frontlines of human-wildlife conflict. His work in places like Nepal's tiger territory and Bolivia's high-altitude flamingo habitats goes beyond typical travel coverage to document the complex relationships between local communities, wildlife and environmental challenges.Perhaps most moving is Sills' recent expedition to Svalbard in the Arctic Circle, where he helped lead children with special needs on a transformative adventure. Many had never left their hometowns, let alone experienced the wonder of snowball fights amid pristine Arctic landscapes. For Sills, these moments represent the culmination of his professional evolution – using travel as a vehicle for transformation rather than mere escapism.As the travel industry faces mounting concerns about sustainability and environmental impact, Sills offers balanced perspective on both challenges and opportunities. He expresses serious reservations about mass tourism models like massive cruise ships while celebrating smaller, more sustainable alternatives. His upcoming projects – documenting Nepal's tourism dynamics and participating in endangered species reintroduction in South Africa – demonstrate his ongoing commitment to using journalism as a force for conservation awareness. Through it all, his philosophy remains refreshingly simple: "If I can take my camera and my words and shine a spotlight on someone who doesn't have the tools to tell their story, whether it's an animal or a person – that's what I want to do."Read Joe's Tiger story here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joesills/2024/07/28/camping-with-tigers-brings-curious-travelers-to-bardiya-in-nepal/ Connect with Joe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joesills/?hl=en Listen to past episodes of The Get Lost podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-lost-podcast/id1466710154 Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662 

After a much-needed break, we're back—and we're getting real about why we pressed pause and how to come back stronger. Narelle shares her parotid cancer journey, radiation, and a scary post-treatment blood clot, plus what recovery taught her about letting go of control and living in the present. Susan talks about burnout, dog-sledding in Svalbard, an Iceland blizzard rescue, and why stepping away actually made her writing better. Together, Narelle Todd and S.E. Smith unpack practical self-care for authors: deciding where to spend your limited energy, embracing seasons in business, and using mindset tools to navigate tough times. We also discuss Narelle's book, It's All Good (Except When It's Not): Practical Mindset Tools for Navigating Life's Challenges, and how authors can apply it day to day. If you've felt guilty about slowing down—or you're rebuilding after a curveball—this episode will encourage and equip you.

Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago north of the mainland.  It is known for its glaciers, tundra, and wildlife – especially polar bears, Arctic foxes, and reindeer.  It is home to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a place to safeguard critical seeds for the world's food supply.  The location was chosen for its remoteness and perpetual […]

Cabotage de fjords en fjords dans l'océan Arctique, autour de l'archipel norvégien situé tout au nord du monde. À bord d'un vieux bateau emblématique qui vient d'achever sa dernière saison dans les eaux glacées du Spitzberg. (Rediffusion) Pendant des décennies, le Nordstjernen ou « Étoile polaire » a promené son élégante silhouette dans l'archipel du Svalbard, un territoire émaillé d'îles et de fjords recouverts de glaciers.

Welcome to Season 15 of Let's Talk SciComm. We're so thrilled to be back with another season after a bit of a break.To get the season off to a wonderful start, we're VERY excited to chat with the incredible Melissa Cristina Márquez. Melissa, (AKA Mother of Sharks) is a bilingual Latina marine scientist, science communicator, and award-winning author currently pursuing her PhD. Melissa's scientific research focuses on the ecology, conservation, and public perception of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays), with a particular interest in how science can inform more equitable conservation policies. She has worked with a range of species across the globe, from tiger sharks in the Bahamas to Greenland sharks in the Arctic fjords of Svalbard. In addition to her scientific work, Melissa is an internationally recognized science communicator dedicated to making science more inclusive, accessible, and engaging. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, and Forbes Science, where she is a regular contributor. She has appeared as a host and expert on programs for Discovery Channel's Shark Week, NatGeo, and Animal Planet, and is a TEDx speaker, with her talk “Sharks and Female Scientists: More Alike Than You Think” challenging stereotypes in science and media. Melissa is also a passionate author of children's literature, including the middle-grade Wild Survival! series (published by Scholastic), Mother of Sharks and Sea of Constellations (both available in English and Spanish and published by Penguin Random House), as well as the forthcoming Leo's Lobo and Coral Keeper, and ocean-themed board books for babies and toddlers. Her stories combine adventure, education, and empowerment to encourage young readers — especially those from underrepresented communities! — to connect with nature and science. She also provides free, multilingual resources to educators and the public to foster greater understanding and appreciation of wildlife and nature. She has been invited to speak at global platforms such as the United Nations, the National Academy of Sciences, Oxford University, the University of Western Australia Global Leader Experience, and the National Science Policy Symposium. Through these avenues, she advocates for greater diversity in STEM, equitable conservation, and culturally relevant science communication. A proud Puerto Rican and Mexican woman in STEM, Melissa uses her voice to champion intersectional environmentalism, inspire the next generation of ocean advocates, and reframe the public narrative around sharks and the scientists who study them.You will absolutely love hearing about Melissa's incredible passion for sharing her work with diverse audiences. You can follow Melissa and learn more about her work here: https://melissacmarquez.comMelissa's TEDx talks: Sharks & Female Scientists: More Alike than You Think and How your thoughts can protect sharkshttps://www.instagram.com/melissacristinamarquez/https://www.threads.com/@melissacristinamarquez https://www.facebook.com/MelissaCristinaMarquez/https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissacmarquez/ Selected writing: https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissacristinamarquez/You can find Melissa's books here:https://www.penguin.com.au/books/mother-of-sharks-9780593523582 https://www.penguin.com.au/books/sea-of-constellations-9780593753514https://www.amazon.com.au/Crocodile-Survival-Melissa-Cristina-M%C3%A1rquez/dp/1338635050https://www.amazon.com.au/Swimming-Survival-Melissa-Cristina-M%C3%A1rquez/dp/1338635085 https://www.amazon.com.au/Chasing-Jaguars-Wild-Survival-3/dp/1338635115 

Wykład dr hab. Krzysztofa Michalskiego w ramach projektu Instytutu Geofizyki PAN, GEOGADKA – Geofizyka dla każdego, Instytut Geofizyki PAN [9 listopada 2023 r.] Spotkanie poświęcone będzie zagadnieniu wzajemnych przemieszczeń płyt litosfery, które popularnie zwane jest wędrówką kontynentów. Porozmawiamy o mechanizmach, które odpowiadają za ruch kontynentów. Prześledzimy historię ich wędrówki w ciągu ostatniego miliarda lat. Spróbujemy odpowiedzieć na pytanie, na ile precyzyjnie jesteśmy wstanie określić pozycje płyt litosfery w odległych epokach geologicznych i czy mogą pomóc nam w tym zadaniu badania ówczesnego pola magnetycznego zapisanego w skałach.Prelegent: Krzysztof Michalski – dr hab. nauk o Ziemi, pracownik Laboratorium Paleomagnetyzmu Zakładu Magnetyzmu IGF PAN, kierownik kilkudziesięciu ekspedycji w rejon arktycznego archipelagu Svalbard, autor szeregu publikacji dotyczących paleomagnetyzmu i rekonstrukcji paleogeograficznych europejskiego sektora Arktyki.Webinarium jest organizowane w ramach projektu Instytutu Geofizyki PAN, GEOGADKA – Geofizyka dla każdego, który otrzymał finansowanie ze środków Ministerstwa Edukacji i Nauki w ramach programu Społeczna odpowiedzialność nauki na lata 2021-2023.Jeśli chcesz wspierać Wszechnicę w dalszym tworzeniu treści, organizowaniu kolejnych #rozmówWszechnicy, możesz:1.

Róbert Vrábel nás dnes vezme do polárnych oblastí - aj na juh, aj na sever, kde pracuje na expedičných plavbách ako sprievodca dobrodružných aktivít. Róbert prezradí, čo sa dá v polárnych oblastiach ako Antarktída, či Svalbard zažiť, aj na čo si musí pri svojej práci sprievodcu dávať pozor. Dozvieme sa s akými zvieratami sa tu najčastejšie stretáva a pozrieme sa aj do oblasti Južnej Georgie, kde sa nachádzajú najväčšie kolónie tučniakov na svete. Najprv Róbert porozpráva o svojej práci s ľadovými medveďmi v nórskom Svalbarde.

My guest today is a woman who listens to stone the way others listen to music, hearing the layered rhythms, ancient memory, and hidden messages beneath our feet.Dr. Marcia Bjornerud is a structural geologist, writer, and professor at Lawrence University whose work explores the physics of earthquakes, the architecture of mountains, and the deep time story of our living planet. She is the author of several beloved books for popular audiences, including Reading the Rocks, Timefulness, Geopedia, and most recently, Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks, which won the 2025 John Burroughs Medal for Natural History Writing.In today's conversation, we explore Earth as an animate, dynamic system, one that has been reinventing itself for over 4 billion years, leaving records of her great experiments in stone. We dive into Marcia's life's work of decoding that record and into her belief that rocks are not inert, they are narrators of Earth's evolving story. Marcia invites us to understand the language of stone, to foster a “geo-centric” worldview that reconnects us with the rhythms and relationships of this planet, and to step into a deeper kinship with the Earth as home.We also speak about her travels to remote parts of the world, such as Svalbard, Norway, her reflections on the Anthropocene, how thinking like a geologist can help save the world, and what she may have learned from Indigenous wisdom traditions in her dialogue with land and rock.This is a conversation about time, transformation, and the quiet, enduring truths that live in stone.Episode Highlights:02:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's early fascination with rocks from glacial deposits in Wisconsin.04:00 – Structuring her latest book Turning to Stone around autobiographical chapters, each linked to a specific rock.06:00 – Defining the term "timefulness" and how seeing in geologic time alters our perception of the present.07:30 – Rocks as palimpsests: ancient stories overwritten but still traceable.08:45 – Rocks as verbs, not nouns: dynamic participants in Earth's ongoing transformation.10:30 – Witnessing the radical evolution of geoscience: from fixed continents to dynamic tectonics and complex climate models.13:00 – Paradigm shifts: from denying catastrophes to accepting extinction events like the one that ended the dinosaurs.16:00 – Ice age floods and possible global correlations to catastrophic water events.18:00 – Reflections on flat-earthers, epistemology, and failures in science education.20:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's spiritual and emotional connection with rocks and their silent companionship.22:30 – Working in rapidly changing Arctic landscapes and observing real-time geology in motion.24:00 – The language of stone: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks as dialects.26:00 – What would change if Western culture viewed the Earth as animate rather than mechanical?29:00 – Critiquing techno-optimism and misplaced hubris in dreams of colonizing Mars.32:00 – Hidden infrastructures of rock: aquifers, basalt weathering, and climate regulation.35:00 – Collaborating with Indigenous scientists and tribal legal teams to protect ecosystems.38:00 – Thinking like a geologist: embracing humility, interconnectedness, and a long-term perspective.40:00 – Letting go of narcissism and rediscovering our place in Earth's continuum.42:00 – Why colonizing Mars is scientifically implausible and ethically evasive.45:00 – Message for the seventh generation: the Earth abides—if we listen.47:00 – Closing reflection: stone as story, Earth as ancestor, and ourselves as part of a resilient and sacred cycle of becoming.Resources mentioned:Books by Dr. Marcia BjornerudTurning to Stone – https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781324093494Timefulness: How...

Depuis quelques années, l'Arctique est partout, dans les romans, les séries, les rubriques de géopolitiques. Parce que la fonte de la banquise inquiète, parce que les appétits commerciaux et stratégiques s'aiguisent, parce que la région est devenue un décor d'intrigue de fiction qui font un carton en librairie. Dans cette nouvelle série, on explore son histoire pour comprendre comment l'Arctique est devenue cette immense surface de projection de toutes les angoisses de notre temps. L'Arctique est d'abord un milieu hostile et étrange, une région extrême, loin du confort des grandes capitales, un exotisme tout au Nord de l'Europe. Dans la première moitié du XIXème siècle, l'Arctique fait l'objet d'un enthousiasme scientifique, un défi pour les navigateurs, une destination pour les aventuriers. Alessandra Carcreff a réédité le récit de Léonie d'Aunet, un voyage en 1938 au Spitzberg, une île de l'archipel du Svalbard à près de 700 km au Nord de la Scandinavie dans la Mer arctique. Alors commençons comme des touristes sans avion, sans Gore Tex et sans 5G, sans même les femmes à l'exception d'une, notre héroïne du jour : Léonie.

W Ukrainie odbyły się największe od początku wojny demonstracje przeciw władzy. Na ulicach Kijowa i innych miast tysiące ludzi sprzeciwiało się decyzji o oddaniu nadzoru nad Narodowym Biurem Antykorupcyjnym w ręce kontrolowanego politycznie prokuratora generalnego. Protestowała też UE. Pod presją ulicy i głosów z frontu Wołodymyr Zełenski ostatecznie wycofał się ze zmian. Dlaczego walka z korupcją tak mocno jednoczy Ukraińców, w tym pokolenie 20-latków? Czy to wciąż państwo skorumpowane? I dlaczego Zełenski tak zaryzykował w stosunkach z Zachodem i swoimi rodakami?Japonia dogaduje się z Donaldem Trumpem i oddala ryzyko wojny handlowej z USA.

Te aseguras de la hora en el reloj, luego confirmas en la computadora. Sí, la hora es correcta y no hay noticias sobre eclipse de Sol. Sería extraño, ¿cierto? Existen en el círculo polar ártico, ciudades en las cuales el sol no se ve durante varios días. En algunos no se ve durante un mes y en otros, como Svalbard, Noruega, el sol no sale en cuatro meses. Las temperaturas van de -20 a 23 °C como resultado de la ausencia del sol.83 ¡Cuatro meses de noche! Eso no suena agradable para quienes gozamos cada día de la luz del astro rey.Estudios realizados en las personas que viven sin sol por varios días, dieron como resultado el descubrimiento de un trastorno al que los expertos llamaron trastorno afectivo estacional o trastorno de invierno. La doctora Aarohee Desai-Gupta, del Colegio Real de Psiquiatrías del Reino Unido, explicó que la luz solar es clave para nuestro estado de ánimo. Una persona sin la luz de Jesús es una persona lúgubre, tétrica y fría, como el círculo polar ártico, por la falta de sol. La escritora Elena G. de White escribió: «¿Me veis alguna vez tétrica, abatida o quejosa? Mi fe me lo prohíbe... los que siguen a Cristo más de cerca no son tétricos».Necesitamos al astro rey que alumbra la tierra y necesitamos al Rey del universo que alumbra nuestras vidas. Así como el sol purifica y desinfecta, necesitamos que el Sol de justicia nos purifique y desinfecte de toda maldad y pecado. Abre las ventanas de tu casa para que los rayos del sol puedan penetrar. Abre así mismo las ventanas de tu corazón para que los preciosos rayos del Sol de justicia se entren para darte vida.La buena noticia es que los rayos de Jesús siempre estarán disponibles cada día, a cada momento, para alumbrar y dar vida a quienes lo necesiten. Querida amiga, no dudes en exponerte a ese precioso Sol. Si hoy estás pasando un momento de oscuridad, confía en que la luz de Jesús puede alumbrar tu camino y devolverte la alegría de vivir.

Même éloignées de nous, les régions polaires nous concernent tous. Un seul exemple : début 2025, la banque internationale de Svalbard annonçait avoir reçu plus de semences que jamais en 2024. De quoi s'agit-il ? Svalbard est un archipel, le plus septentrional de la Norvège, à 1300 km au nord du cercle polaire arctique, son île la plus connue est l'ile du Spitzberg. Là, dans une ancienne mine de charbon a été créée en 2008 la réserve mondiale de semences du Svalbard, une chambre forte souterraine, qui conserve à – 18° en permanence un échantillon des graines de toutes les cultures vivrières de la planète afin de préserver la diversité génétique de notre terre. Une sorte d'arche de Noé de la biodiversité en quelque sorte. Alors que la FAO estime que les 3/4 des variétés de légumes domestiques ont été perdues depuis les années 1990 à cause de la monoculture, les banques de semences tentent d'empêcher que d'autres variétés soient perdues à jamais, notamment du fait des évolutions climatiques. Ainsi, sur l'année 2024, la chambre forte mondiale du Svalbard a reçu 65 000 échantillons de semences, un record. Il existe certes des banques nationales ou régionales de semences mais la toundra arctique offre un climat idéal et sûr pour le stockage, c'est une sorte de sauvegarde supplémentaire pour toutes leurs collections et une garantie pour notre futur. Aussi plongeons-nous, un peu, dans ces océans glacés. Sont-ils vraiment des objets géopolitiques, c'est-à-dire des territoires au cœur de rivalités de puissance ? Qu'est ce qui les rend si attractifs ? Quelle est ici l'incidence des effets du dérèglement climatique ?

In a world of perpetual motion, there exists a realm of profound stillness—where light doesn't simply illuminate, it transforms. Far from home amid Earth's frozen tundras, time itself seems suspended in crystalline air. In today's podcast, we'll visit these places where time hangs in the balance, and we'll explore the intrepid mix of endurance, patience, and vision it takes to make pictures there. Joining us for this conversation are polar photography specialists Acacia Johnson and Jonas Paurell. From making distinctions between Arctic and Antarctic regions, to learning about the unique challenges involved with photographing there, our polar experts share many valuable insights. In addition to tips about packing and safeguarding camera gear in cold weather climates, we also discuss the importance of managing expectations during such trips, especially when faced with a long wait to see wildlife amid the barren stillness. As Alaskan photographer Acacia Johnson puts it, “… I think going into a trip with kind of a sense of exploration, like the joy of the trip is that you don't know, and it's completely unique to your experience. And whatever you do see is kind of a gift.”   Guests: Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell Episode Timeline: 3:37: Acacia Johnson's upbringing in the wilds of Alaska and leaving the area for photo studies at the Rhode Island School of Design in the lower 48. 7:35: Jonas Paurell's youth in Sweden and the impact his first trek to Scandinavian Arctic regions had on his soul. 14:08: The differences between Arctic and Antarctic polar landscapes, plus Acacia's experiences during a winter in Arctic Bay, with no sun for four months. 29:13: Different approaches to storytelling about the Arctic based on subject matter, and capturing an emotion in images that does justice to the landscape. 37:31: The logistics of getting to Arctic and Antarctic locations, and expenses involved with working and living there. 43:19: The Jubilee Expedition Jonas organized to celebrate the 150th anniversary of a legendary Swedish polar expedition to Svalbard. 51:20: Episode Break 51:38: Preparations for a polar expedition and the camera gear Acacia and Jonas pack. 1:00:31: Using a large format camera on polar expeditions, plus managing gear in extreme cold conditions. 1:06:42: Managing expectations for travelers, misconceptions when planning trips, plus different types of vessels used during expeditions to polar regions. 1:16:42: Cultivating an authentic connection to place when photographing polar regions. 1:21:29: The changing ethics of photographing in polar regions, plus findings from Jonas's Jubilee Expedition Guest Bios: Acacia Johnson is a photographer, writer, and a 2023 National Geographic Explorer based in Anchorage, Alaska. Drawn to painterly light and otherworldly landscapes, her work focuses on the environment, conservation, and connections between people and place. Over the past 10 years, she has made more than fifty expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica as a photographer and a guide—always seeking to inspire wonder and compassion for these remote regions during a time of rapid change. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally and have been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic and TIME magazines, among other publications. In 2021, Acacia was awarded the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant, and in 2022 she received the ICP Infinity Award for Documentary Practices and Photojournalism. Jonas Paurell is an explorer, conservation photographer, photo educator, and speaker from Gothenburg, Sweden. One of his most ambitious projects is a 25-year documentation of the Arctic. Through ski expeditions and icebreaker voyages, he has captured both the resilience and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes, emphasizing the fragility of the region and the urgent need for preservation. In 2022, Jonas launched The Jubilee Expedition, recreating the historic Swedish Polar Expedition of 1872 to highlight this region's rapid melting and the far-reaching impacts of climate change. Jonas is also founder of Terra Photography Expeditions, which offers immersive workshops in both Arctic regions and South American rainforests, helping photographers deepen their connection with nature while refining their craft. Additionally, before dedicating his life to photography, Jonas served as a human rights lawyer for the United Nations.

Veckans avsnitt riktar blicken rakt mot det kylslagna norr. Vi ska till Svalbard… eller är det till Spetsbergen? Vi har samlat två berättelser: om Willem Barents upptäckt (eller hur det nu var) på 1500-talet och om den svenska koloniseringen kring sekelskiftet 1900.

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013, Lis van Lynden has refused to let the condition define her limits. With no prior cycling experience or training, Lis set off in 2022 on a solo, unsupported ride around the entire coastline of Great Britain—covering 5,000 miles over seven months and raising over £13,000 for MS charities.  Her journey didn't stop there. Lis went on to cycle the Irish coastline and most recently visited 12 of the UK's national parks by bike, with plans to complete the final 3 in 2025.  Along the way, she's faced physical challenges, experienced incredible acts of kindness, and become a passionate advocate for others living with MS.  Lis's story is one of courage, conviction, and living life on her own terms—no matter the obstacles. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

Looking for powerful children's books that spark curiosity, empathy, and environmental awareness? Our latest podcast episode dives into the incredible world of children's literature with two passionate authors who are changing how kids understand science, nature, and community. Meet Carolyn Armstrong, the creative mind behind the "Climate Kid Adventures" series. Her middle-grade novels, like "Echo Warriors," take readers on thrilling environmental journeys. From exploring the polar bear habitats of Svalbard to uncovering the mysteries of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Armstrong transforms complex scientific concepts into engaging stories that inspire young readers to care about our planet. Joining her is Courtney Cino, author of "Finally Home," a heartwarming picture book that offers a touching glimpse into military family life. Through the eyes of a young girl waiting for her Marine Corps pilot father to return, Cino illuminates the resilience, love, and sacrifice of military families. Both authors share a common mission: to create books that are more than just stories. They're windows into different worlds, tools for understanding, and catalysts for empathy. Whether it's learning about monarch butterfly migrations or experiencing the emotional journey of a military homecoming, these books invite children to explore, question, and connect. Whether you're a parent, educator, or book lover, this episode offers inspiration and hope. These "Moms On A Mission" are proving that children's literature can be a powerful force for positive change.
