A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Like Swans Taking Off from a Lake"

The boys are joined this week by former Swansea City centre half Chris Todd and talk about Chris starting off as a striker, getting a trial at Manchester United as a teenager, the huge influence of his parents growing up and going missing in Ibiza as a 16 year old. Chris talks about the old school mentality in the Swans changing room, Tony Petty sacking players, making his Swans debut at the Vetch and his shock at being released. Chris talks about moving to Exeter because of ex-Swans Chairman Mike Lewis, playing at Wembley 3 times, shockingly finding out that he had Leukaemia, writing a book, the famous FA Cup run as manager of Eastleigh and now becoming assistant coach at Newport plus much much more…..@ambitioniscritcal1997 on Instagram @TheAiCPodcast on Twitter

Are Swansea City suddenly in the Championship play-off picture? A rare away win means the Swans are now just five points adrift of the final play-off place - currently occupied by Wrexham. And with the two sides set to meet at the Cae Ras on Friday night, there is suddenly some extra significance on the match. Wrexham's injury list continues to grow - with Kieffer Moore's hamstring injury a cause for concern for Wales with the World Cup play-offs just a fortnight away.Having been top of League One since 22 November, Cardiff City were dethroned by Lincoln City on Saturday and are now four points adrift of the new leaders after a midweek draw in Barnsley. A blip, or something more concerning?

Norman Westberg is a guitarist known for anchoring the monolithic avant-rock of Swans. Away from the band's trademark volume, however, his solo work—like the Lawrence English-produced After Vacation—abandons traditional riffs for meditative, ambient drone. By manipulating sustained tones through effect pedals, Norman restructures the instrument's sound into atmospheric compositions. His career balances decades of dense post-punk with restrained, minimalist solo recordings.

In this second episode, we move deeper into the aesthetic lineage between legendary socialite and Capote “Swan” Lee Radziwill and the modern minimalist icon Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.Lee Radziwill was more than a princess by marriage or a fixture of society — she was a woman who refined glamour into something intellectual, European, and deliberately restrained. Moving between Parisian salons, Roman palazzos, and New York drawing rooms, she mastered a language of understatement: sleek tailoring, monochrome palettes, impeccable fabrics, and an instinct for proportion. As one of Truman Capote's celebrated Swans, Lee represented a rarefied form of fame — aristocratic, curated, and timeless.In Part Two, we explore the possibility that this disciplined, European-inflected elegance did not end with Lee's generation. Decades later, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy emerged with a strikingly similar aesthetic philosophy — stripped-back silhouettes, architectural coats, bias-cut gowns, and an almost radical commitment to simplicity.Was Carolyn consciously inspired by Lee's cultivated restraint? Or did she intuitively revive the same codes of elite understatement — a quiet luxury long before it became a cultural movement?This episode examines the parallels: the power of neutral palettes, the art of immaculate tailoring, the refusal of excess, and the understanding that true influence does not chase attention — it commands it through control.Part Two is not about imitation. It is about evolution. About how the timeless, elegant minimalism of a European-minded socialite may have quietly shaped the visual vocabulary of a modern American style icon.Because sometimes influence is not spoken — it is inherited.

https://www.stevetilston.com/representation | Different Strings Music Agencylorraine@differentstrings.co.uk Steve Tilston is one of our most celebrated song smiths, widely recognised within the world of folk and contemporary music; the words, arrangements and subtle, quite superb guitar playing could be no one else. And now to Steve Tilston's last album, Last Call officially released on Talking Elephant Records March 2025, over half a century on from his first and on a par with his finest. With the accompaniment of good friends and long-time musical collaborators, Steve looks both back and ahead as he travels the musical spectrum, across blues, traditional folk, poetry and even a hint of jazz. From social and political comment to rustic reflection, from autobiography to eternal geographical history; it's a thing of audible joy and circumstantial sadness.“The more you listen, the more there is to discover.” Bob HarrisThe story of Steve's “lost” letter from John Lennon thrust Steve into the worldwide media spotlight and was the inspiration for a Hollywood movie. Danny Collins, starring Al Pacino in the title role is now available to own on DVD. Sadly, Steve's songs didn't actually appear on the soundtrack, but the publicity surrounding the film, brought Steve and his music to much wider attention. You can still watch the clip of when Steve met Al on YouTube.Steve was also voted, Fatea Awards Male Vocalist of the Year 2015 and Truth to Tell was chosen as one of The Telegraph's top folk albums that year too.Born in Liverpool and raised in the Midlands, Steve made his recording debut in 1971 with the classic An Acoustic Confusion and has been turning out quality albums ever since. Life by Misadventure, And So It Goes, Solo Rubato and Such and Such all featuring first-class song-writing and stylistically Tilston, marking him out as one of this country's finest writers. Whilst the instrumental Swans at Coole is testament to his guitar virtuosity. Though known as a songwriter, Steve has always had an ear for the tradition and included new interpretations of old favourites on his original recordings. Of Many Hands is his first “all-traditional” album; with unique arrangements of timeless classics. There's also a “best of” anthology, The Greening Wind and a live album Live Hemistry recorded on tour with Fairport Convention.He joined an illustrious band of guitarists including Martin Simpson, Michael Messer and Wizz Jones, when he was invited to contribute to the Guitar Maestro series of DVDs; a combination of live studio performance and interviews, revealing the real passion behind these talented musicians… If anyone ever deserved the moniker “Guitar Maestro”, it's Steve Tilston!The writer of such classic songs as The Slipjigs and Reels and the award-winning The Reckoning, is also a published author. Steve's first novel All for Poor Jack is an historical tale set in Bristol and the New World, full of colourful characters. It's a mighty good read and has been enjoyed by the likes of Bob Dylan no less!He's toured with John Renbourn's Ship of Fools, traditional singer Maggie Boyle (the classic recordings Of Moor and Mesa and All Under the Sun), as guitarist with Ballet Rambert, with Maartin Allcock & Pete Zorn in WAZ! with Brooks Williams and with his daughter Martha. Plus collaborations with alt-country band The Durbervilles and old Bristol pals Keith Warmington and the late Stuart Gordon as the Steve Tilston Trio. His most recent project is Tilston & Lowe a duo with fellow songwriter Jez Lowe, producing The Janus Game a CD of brand-new co-writes.Others have also recorded Steve's songs. Here's to Tom Paine is the adopted theme song for the Tom Paine Society of America and we've lost count of the number of versions of The Slipjigs & Reels!

Ross Halls is joined by Alex Jones to reflect on Ipswich Town's 3-0 win at home to Swansea City.The boys talk through the game as Rossco highlights five key points, including Anis Mehmeti's stellar display, strikers scoring goals and two players close to a suspension.Then it's on to the big match against Hull City, with the Blues looking to cut the gap on the teams above them, facing one of the best away sides in the division at Portman Road.There's also plenty of shenanigans, including AJ's football vocabulary book, Ross' pronunciation nightmare and a little bit of traffic advice.Buy KOA Live 3 tickets: https://dice.fm/event/wwrnbg-kings-of-anglia-18th-apr-the-baths-ipswich-ticketsKings of Anglia is sponsored by Stardust Spirits.

Quick recap The meeting focused on two major topics: voting rights and nuclear power. The discussion began with concerns about ICE's presence at polling places and the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration. The group then explored the dangers of reopening aging nuclear power plants, particularly Palisades in Michigan, where Holtec International faces significant challenges in meeting safety standards and documentation requirements. The conversation highlighted how both Democratic and Republican leaders are supporting nuclear power despite its cost and safety issues, with Trump personally taking control of nuclear regulations. The conversation ended with concerns about California's Democratic Party platform, which removed environmental protections and nuclear power restrictions, and the need for a renewed focus on solar and wind energy over nuclear power. Next steps Hedy Tripp: Persuade Minneapolis training organizers to consider putting their in-person ICE resistance training sessions on the internet (e.g., Zoom, Instagram) for broader access, as requested by Sunny. Andrea Miller: Share the link to the Virginia redistricting presentation in the chat and host the presentation on Thursday night as announced. Ellen Slavick: Put the link to the "Atomic Dragons by Swans" art exhibition at Pitzer College in the chat (confirmed done during meeting). Vina Colley: Connect with Ellen Slavick (and her husband) regarding radiation exposure assessment work and share relevant links or information as requested. Dorothy Reik and Susie Shannon: Reach out to the new Environmental Caucus chair (Sam) to educate him on the facts about nuclear energy and work to reintroduce anti-nuclear language into the California Democratic Party platform. Roger Rapoport, Susan Shapiro, Karl Grossman, and Sunny: Collaborate on writing and publicizing the findings about Holtec/Palisades and the lack of documentation, targeting both public education and the financial/investor community. Team: Organize and promote participation in the No King's Day march (March 28th) and link nuclear safety concerns to Donald Trump's role in nuclear regulation for public education. Team: Attempt to contact Joe Rogan (and/or Stuart Brand) to engage in public discussion/debate on nuclear issues, as suggested by David Saltman. Vina Colley: Work with Veterans for Peace, Chris Busby, and Paul Mobley to develop and share materials calculating radiation exposure for affected communities. Team: Revisit and discuss Don Mosier's research on low-dose radiation and breast cancer in a future meeting, as suggested by Myla. Karl Grossman: Publish and distribute the article on New York's nuclear push and the climate change misinformation to national outlets after Long Island distribution. Team: Focus public education efforts on the true emissions and climate impact of nuclear energy, as highlighted by Susan Shapiro and Karl Grossman. Summary Team Meeting and Event Planning The meeting began with greetings and technical adjustments, including addressing audio issues for Myla. Gree-Gree and Harvey discussed editing a video, which caused some frustration. The group briefly touched on current events, such as the Texas gubernatorial race and a power outage at a nuclear plant in Delaware. Hedy shared her experience attending a conference in Southern California. As the conversation ended, participants prepared for an upcoming event, with Sunny and others discussing logistics and welcoming attendees. Election and Nuclear Power Concerns The meeting focused on two main topics: election protection and nuclear power issues. The group discussed concerns about ICE presence at polling stations in 2026 and Trump's efforts to eliminate voting by mail. They also addressed the situation in Minneapolis, where Hedy Tripp reported on weekly rallies and a planned week-long training session for resistance activities. The second hour of the meeting will cover nuclear power issues, including the restart of the reactor at Three Mile Island and the Palisades nuclear plant situation. Vote-by-Mail and ICE Election Impact Melissa Bird, a candidate for Congress in Oregon's 4th Congressional District, discussed concerns about vote-by-mail processes and the potential impact of ICE presence on elections. She emphasized the importance of early voting and ensuring ballots are sent directly to county election offices due to changes in postal rules and the presence of ICE in Oregon. Andrea Miller, an expert on voting in the Southeast, expressed concerns about the reliability of vote-by-mail systems and recommended in-person early voting where possible. Melissa also announced endorsements from Progressive Victory and the Working Families Party of Oregon, adding to her growing support. SAVE Act Senate Passage Uncertainty Andrea discussed the passage of the SAVE Act in the House and its challenges in the Senate, highlighting concerns about proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration, which disproportionately affect women, rural residents, and people in poverty. Melissa emphasized the bill's impact on marginalized communities and criticized it as an overreach of federal authority in managing elections. Sunny inquired about the likelihood of the bill passing the Senate, and Andrea noted the uncertainty but expressed skepticism about Democrats supporting it, given potential legal challenges and opposition from both Democratic and Republican states. ICE's Impact on Voting Rights The meeting focused on discussions about ICE's presence in various states and its potential impact on voting rights. Participants expressed concerns about ICE's role in communities, particularly in low-income and minority areas, and discussed legislative efforts to restrict ICE activities. The group also touched on recent FBI raids on voting centers in Georgia and the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms to protect voting rights. Paul Johnson raised concerns about government subsidies for AI farms, and the conversation ended with a brief discussion about voting issues in California and the need for effective pushback against voter suppression efforts. Election Integrity and Voting Rights The group discussed voting rights and election integrity, with Lynn Feinerman sharing progress in Marin County where the county executive has removed ICE cooperation funding from the budget. Susie Shannon emphasized that once voters are prevented from casting their ballot on Election Day, there is no remedy for individual voters, while Paul Newman highlighted the need to address private prisons and their role in the criminal justice system. The conversation ended with Andrea Miller announcing her upcoming discussion on Virginia redistricting and warning about new election legislation that would require proof of citizenship and residence for voting. Voter Rights and Energy Concerns The group discussed voter suppression efforts and the importance of protecting and turning out the vote in upcoming elections. They highlighted the need for on-the-ground solutions to combat voter intimidation and the challenges faced by certain demographics in accessing polling places. The conversation then shifted to energy issues, including the transition to sodium-based batteries and the dangers of Donald Trump's regulation of nuclear power plants. The conversation ended with a brief mention of an upcoming art exhibit at Pitzer College. Palisades Nuclear Plant Restart Challenges The meeting focused on the challenges and risks associated with the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, which has been shut down due to safety and economic issues. Roger Rapoport explained that Holtec International, the plant's owner, has faced significant delays and financial challenges in attempting to restart the plant, with estimated costs of up to $1.25 billion for repairs and further delays of up to five years. The discussion highlighted broader concerns about the nuclear industry, including the lack of economic rationale for nuclear power compared to renewables, the safety risks associated with nuclear plants, and the influence of political leaders and the energy industry in promoting nuclear energy despite these challenges. The group also discussed similar issues at other nuclear plants, such as Indian Point in New York, and emphasized the need for independent regulation and transparency in the nuclear industry. Exploring Solar vs Nuclear Energy The group discussed nuclear power policies, with Susie Shannon explaining that the California Democratic Party's platform was weakened by removing protections for underserved communities and environmental measures, including nuclear energy safety provisions. They explored the possibility of shifting focus to solar energy as a more viable alternative to nuclear power, noting that solar technology has become significantly more cost-effective than nuclear. Ellen Slavick shared information about her husband's work on a UN radiation study that concluded there is no safe threshold for nuclear exposure, and mentioned an upcoming art exhibition at Pitzer College featuring work by seven women artists related to nuclear issues. Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Concerns The group discussed concerns about nuclear power plants, including inadequate record-keeping, missing welding documents, and the risks of accidents. They highlighted the need to address these issues, with David suggesting buying shares in companies like Holtec to influence decisions. The conversation also touched on the lack of regulation under Trump's administration and the potential for accidents, with Karl noting that extending the life of old plants is "asking for a catastrophe." The group agreed that they are now in "25th Amendment territory" due to these risks and the need to convince policymakers to change course. Nuclear Industry's Public Perception The group discussed the nuclear industry's financial viability and public perception, with Susan Shapiro emphasizing the need to educate the public about nuclear power's emissions and carbon footprint. They agreed to link nuclear safety to Donald Trump and planned to participate in the "No Kings, No Nukes" march on March 28th, aiming to draw 10 million people. The group also discussed attacking Joe Rogan's promotion of nuclear power and connecting with the solar industry to highlight nuclear's cost issues. Vina mentioned working with Veterans for Peace to calculate radiation exposure levels, and Tatanka shared information about a 50-year energy plan by big oil companies to control the world's energy supply.

It's the middle of Swans Crossing and there's no going back! Lauren Flans gets dropped in and is either curious or furious, still can't be sure.

Ten weeks ago, the general consensus was Swansea City were in a relegation battle. Thirteen games later, has new manager Vitor Matos transformed the team into Championship play-off contenders? A comfortable 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday leaves the Swans just five points adrift of the top six, but four games against team above them in the table await.Wrexham failed to give owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac a win to mark five years at the helm by slipping up at home to Millwall. Attention now turns to the fourth round of the FA Cup against Ipswich Town.No such problems for Cardiff City, who shrugged off the 20th-minute red card to Ryan Wintle to win 3-0 at Rotherham, a display described by Iwan as one of the best he can recall by a team with 10 men.

We are back with a special January 6th themed episode of Swans Crossing. Nate and Jordy ride shotgun, whatver that means.

Sheffield Wednesday's difficult season hits another low point as the Owls suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Swansea City in South Wales. In this episode, we break down the key moments from the match, analyse what went wrong tactically, and discuss the growing reality of relegation as the pressure continues to mount.We're joined by special guest Dom Howson, who shares expert insight on the current state of Sheffield Wednesday and reflects on whether THIS could be the game that finally seals the club's fate. Alongside match analysis, Dom also talks about his book Carlos Had a Dream, revisiting the unforgettable Carlos Carvalhal era and what that period meant for Wednesday fans — especially in contrast to today's challenges.

Since its formal inception more than a decade ago, the LUF Team has championed professional reading as a cornerstone of leader development. LUF believes that a close study of history's most accomplished, mission-oriented leaders reveals a common thread: a deep engagement with literature and disciplined professional reading. In 2022, LUF launched its inaugural book club. Since then, LUF's online book clubs have served as a conduit for meaningful discourse, reflection, and critical thought across the profession. This episode is Part 2 of Senior Mentor Jim Roussell's exploration of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan, recorded during one of these book club discussions. Part 1 originally aired on August 21, 2024. In this continuation, Jim offers valuable insight into the leadership traits and organizational practices that enable mission-oriented leaders and units to adapt, endure, and succeed amid unpredictable and improbable events.

Dean Cox heads into his second season in charge of the Swans. The Swans are well-balanced, and well-placed to attack this year head on after facing unique challenges at this point 12 months ago. Charlie Curnow has joined the club in a high-publicized trade. Callum Mills and Errol Gulden have themselves primed for a big 2026 plus the addition of premiership winning coach Simon Goodwin to the coaching box is only going to give Cox even more confidence going into the clubs season opener against Carlton.

The middle begins! Swans Crossing's days are numbered. It's still a very high number, but it's worth fretting the fact that this show will not last forever. If only it would just start telling itself to never die in the mirror every day.

In this episode of Market Matters, Lauren Goodwin and Michael LoGalbo explore four black swan scenarios from the 2026 Swan Lake report, including disruptions to U.S. public economic data, a potential U.S. state split, political upheaval in Eastern Europe, and a rethink of Asia's “dollar recycling”. 

Tal-Elmar spots three strange birds upon the water; Alan and James are just two strange guys with microphones. Join The Man of the West and The Sage of the South as we continue our four-part look into Tolkien's unusual story of Tal-Elmar. Tal-Elmar reminds us of the legend of the Swans of Gorbelgod, Hazad offers a long history lesson, and together they turn and face the strange master of Agar: Mogru the Hutt. We discover that we're good at finding things that don't help us at all, admire Tolkien's masterful use of inner dialog, and agree that no one wants to eat Hazad. Also: no, you go to the knappers!

“Caernarfon Heritage Steam Train, why must you forsake me?” Now that's a taste of what to expect on this episode. The next step in Elis's English language stand up return has hit the buffers as he plays a room which isn't Europe's best gig. Just how can he produce laughs from wealth managers when Llanfairfechan Community Centre is some of the best stuff in his arsenal? Fear not however, because the bit about a big table in a miners' institute is always ready to go in emergencies. But it's not all anxiety dreams, as we take a journey into the forest mind via John's new mantra for life. There's also one of our greatest jingles ever and a game which Elis hates, thus meaning great aural enjoyment for yourselves.Want to get in touch?
