It's cold, dark days in Sweden so we need dark beers to keep us warm. Alesong has released a special edition of Rhino Suit. Rhino Suit - Swedish Edition is an 11% ABV double milk imperial stout. Made special for Sweden, this milk stout is a Heaven Hill bourbon-barrel-aged beer. It makes us feel special. It's not often we get double milk stouts at Systembolaget. When we saw Surly 13, a 12.5% ABV maple barrel-aged double milk imperial stout, we knew we had a great combo. Sadly, it wasn't specially brewed for Sweden. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #barrel-aged #imperialstout #milkstout

Synopsis: Fresh from the JPM 2026 in San Francisco, Alok Tayi welcomes Johan Luthman, Executive Vice President of R&D at Lundbeck, for a sweeping, deeply personal conversation on the future of neuroscience drug development. From his early days as a Swedish clinician-scientist to leading breakthrough Alzheimer's programs and rebuilding Lundbeck's pipeline from the ground up, Johan shares the pivotal moments—and phone calls—that shaped a 30-year career across AstraZeneca, Merck, Serono, and now Denmark's neuroscience powerhouse. The discussion dives into Lundbeck's bold strategic reset: letting biology lead, de-risking early in patients, embracing rare disease and sleep medicine, and making disciplined bets on monoclonal antibodies, migraine prevention, epilepsy, and neuroendocrine disorders. Johan explains how the company shifted capital toward innovation, rebuilt its portfolio through targeted acquisitions, and built one of the most advanced neuroscience pipelines in pharma today. In one of the episode's most powerful moments, Johan opens up about his personal motivation—caring for family members with Alzheimer's and dedicating his career to diseases of the brain. From AI-driven R&D productivity and adaptive trials to Denmark's unique foundation-owned pharma model, this conversation is a masterclass in scientific rigor, decision-making under uncertainty, and keeping patients at the center of everything. Biography: In 1991, Johan Luthman began his career in the pharmaceutical industry in Astra, later AstraZeneca. In 2005, Johan joined Serono as Head of Neuroscience & Immunology Research, and subsequently, in MerckSerono, as Therapy Area Head, Neurology & Immunology. In 2009, he became CEO of biotech start-up GeNeuro. In late 2009, Johan joined Merck as VP & Franchise Integrator for Neuroscience and Ophthalmology. In 2014, he came to Eisai where he was Senior Vice President and Head of Clinical Development. Johan joined Lundbeck as Executive Vice President, R&D in March 2019. Johan is a Swedish national and is trained as a Doctor of Dental Sciences from the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. He also holds a PhD in Neurobiology and Histology as well as an Associate Professor title from the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. Johan is a Member of the Board of Directors of Brain+.
Nothing celebrates community hockey in Minnesota quite like Hockey Day Minnesota, and Hastings and the local organizing committee there absolutely crushed it. Carts and King dive into the wildly successful event, the jerseys, the layout, the facilities, you name it, it was top notch. As for the Wild game against FLA, the fans were treated to entertaining game, and for the 20th time this season, the Wild pushed the game into extra time. Unfortunately coming up short in OT, because of a much less favorable RAT, the Wild grabbed a point and look to finish the month strong before their Olympic break. Later in the show, we are joined by the GusBus himself, #32 Filip Gustavsson, for some typical Gus insight, that ranges from potty training to video games. This Swedish goaltender talks about his aspirations with team Sweden, his daily fun being a dad with a couple youngsters at home, and how he sneaks in time to join teammates online for some gaming. Always fun to have this tendy on the show! Like, subscribe, and listen up. Howdy boys, it's Filip Gustavsson.

In this episode of the Feel Free Again Podcast, I sit down with healing and empowerment coach Jorge Ruiz to talk about something men desperately need, but rarely reach for: grief recovery. We dig into why men often avoid emotional healing, why “I'm fine” becomes a lifestyle, and how unprocessed loss doesn't just hurt your feelings, it quietly anchors your identity to your past and shapes how you react in the present and fear the future. Jorge shares powerful stories from working with foster youth, people coming out of prison, and men who've learned to survive by numbing instead of processing. We talk identity labels like “addict” or “prisoner,” and how the Grief Recovery Method can help you finally separate who you are from what happened to you. We also go deep on men's isolation, the suicide reality, and the warrior/protector paradox: real strength isn't pretending you feel nothing—it's learning how to feel without being ruled by it. If you've ever felt stuck, reactive, ashamed, disconnected, or like peace always sits just one achievement away… this conversation is for you. I also share how grief recovery impacts marriage and fatherhood, and Jorge breaks down his FOCUS framework (Faith Overcomes Challenges Unleashes Success) plus why none of this works well until the heart gets healed first. If you know a man who needs this, please share it. It might be the conversation that helps him finally start healing. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 — Why Feeling “Stuck” Happens to Strong People 05:54 — Meet Ezra Stanton: The Cost of Staying in Quicksand 11:48 — The Hidden Patterns That Keep Men Stalled 17:42 — How to Tell If You're Numb vs. Actually “Okay” 23:36 — The Moment You Realize It's Not Just Stress 29:30 — The Lie of Self-Sufficiency (And Why It Backfires) 35:24 — Naming the Real Problem Without Shame 41:18 — The Inner Story Driving Your Outer Life 47:12 — Why Willpower Fails (Even for Disciplined Men) 53:06 — Rebuilding Clarity When You Can't Trust Your Feelings 59:00 — The Emotional Weight You Didn't Know You Were Carrying 01:04:54 — What Healing Actually Looks Like in Real Life 01:10:48 — Breaking the Cycle: Triggers, Reactions, and Repair 01:16:42 — Identity: Who You Become After Loss and Change 01:22:36 — Relationships Under Pressure: How Men Pull Away 01:28:30 — The Turning Point: Doing the Work That Works 01:34:24 — Practical Tools to Get Unstuck This Week 01:40:18 — What Freedom Feels Like (And Why It's Quiet at First) 01:46:12 — The Long Game: Staying Free, Not Just Getting Free 01:52:08 — Final Charge: The Next Step for Men Ready to Move Connect With Jorge: Email: jorgeruiz@focusimaginelife.com Website: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/grms/jorge-ruiz Cole James, President of the Grief Recovery Institute, shares about the Power of Grief Recovery! Cole is dedicating his life to help people with grief. Now, grief is much more than just losing someone. Did you know that? You've probably heard of the Five Stages of Grief, right? Well, this goes much deeper than you think. Let me explain. Everyone has some type of grief in their lives, some haven't yet, but it's part of life. We can't escape it, BUT we can work through it. And you don't have to do it alone. Let's talk about it. We have trained Grief Recovery Method Specialists, who help heartbroken people, in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Central America, South America, and North America. The Grief Recovery Method Certification Program is taught and available in multiple languages including: English, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Russian.

Greg Jenner is joined in the 18th century by historian Professor Katherine Astbury and comedian Jen Brister to learn about French queen Marie Antoinette.Born an Austrian princess, Marie Antoinette went on to be the last queen of France before the Revolution and the abolition of the monarchy. She is famous now for saying "let them eat cake", for her love of fashion, and her supposedly extravagant spending at a time when ordinary people in France were going hungry. But how true are any of these stories, and where did these myths about her originate?In this episode, we look at Marie Antoinette's Austrian childhood and overbearing mother, her marriage to Louis XVI and time as queen of France, and the hatred directed at her by the revolutionaries.

Yesterday's show from the DLD conference was about the need for Europe to relearn the language of power. Today, things get even more dire for our European friends. I asked another DLD speaker, Carl Benedikt Frey, a Swedish economic historian who teaches at Oxford, whether it's “game over” for Europe in terms of its ability to compete with American and Chinese big tech. His answer: not yet—but close. Frey's last book, shortlisted for the 2025 Financial Times business book of the year, is entitled How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation and the Fate of Nations. But it's specifically Europe's economic progress and the fate of European nations that most concerns Frey. Unless Europeans create a true single market for services, he warns, it really could be the end of the European dream of continent-wide progress. So no more crossroads for a continent perennially at a crossroads. And that single market, Frey explains, is ultimately a matter of political rather than economic will.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The January 19, 1976 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue marked another glossy step in a tradition that had begun almost accidentally a little more than a decade earlier. What started in 1964 as a winter stopgap—filling pages when sports calendars were thin—had evolved into a cultural event, blending fashion, fantasy, and far-flung travel. This '76 edition leaned hard into escapism, taking readers to Baja Mexico, where sunshine, surf, and sequins replaced box scores. The swimsuits themselves reflected the era: metallic fabrics, daring cuts, and a growing emphasis on glamour over athletic utility—a far cry from the functional swimwear once seen on Olympic pools and beaches alike. The cover perfectly captured that shift. Swedish twins Yvonne and Yvette Sylvander shimmered under the Baja sun, embodying the issue's theme, “Taking a Shine to a Resort with New Glitter.” Inside were familiar faces who would soon define the genre—Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, and others who became icons not just of the Swimsuit Issue, but of 1970s popular culture itself. For many readers of a certain generation, these images weren't just pinups—they were part of the shared visual language of growing up with Sports Illustrated, when the magazine felt like a weekly companion arriving in the mailbox. And while nostalgia drives the emotional connection, there's another side to these old issues of SI: their growing significance as collectibles. That's where Mark Humphries comes in. Growing up in La Cañada, California, Mark's sports education began with secondhand copies of Sports Illustrated, pages already creased, corners bent—but endlessly fascinating. That early fascination carried him through Stanford, Wall Street, and eventually back to the hobby he loved, where he became a pioneer in treating Sports Illustrated magazines as serious collectibles—worthy of grading, encapsulation, and long-term value, just like cards. As founder of the first grading system for past issues of Sports Illustrated, owner of ThePit.com, and now a contributor to PSA Magazine, Humphries has helped redefine how collectors view vintage issues. While not every Swimsuit Issue is destined to fund a retirement, condition, cover subjects, and historical context matter—and early, iconic editions continue to gain traction. In that sense, the 1976 Swimsuit Issue sits at the intersection of memory and market value: a snapshot of an era when Sports Illustrated shaped culture, sparked conversations, and—sometimes without meaning to—created artifacts that still matter, decades later.

RED BULL UNVEILS THEIR 2026 LIVERY….BORING NASSER AL ATTIYAH WINS HIS SIXTH DAKAR TITLE BENAVIDAS WINS THE BIKE CLASS BY ONLY 2 SECONDS FORD AND CADILLAC ALREADY EXCHANGING INSULTS AND FERNANDO…SHOWING OFF HIS CAR COLLECTION IN. MONACO! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…PERFECT FOR RELAXATION! NEXT WEEK WE HAVE EDDIE CHEEVER!! Benavides Hits Back For Historic 2026 Dakar Rally Title As Al-Attiyah Wins Again! Argentine wins maiden Bike title by just two seconds while Baciuška dominates Stock category for glory. Argentina's Luciano Benavides hit back from a 3m20s deficit at the start of the final Stage 13 to win the 2026 Dakar Rally Bike title in thrilling fashion by just two seconds - the smallest margin in Dakar history - for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing as Lithuanian Rokas Baciuška also claimed a maiden title in the Stock class and Nasser Al-Attiyah held his nerve to wrap up a sixth Ultimate class title. Here is all you need to know: - Benavides looked to have blown his chance on Friday as Honda rival Ricky Brabec overtook him in the overall standings, however the 30-year-old was in no mood to back down and rode superbly on Saturday in the final sprint to the Yanbu finish and pip the American - who made a late navigational error - to glory by just two seconds. - It is the smallest margin of title victory in Dakar history, the Salta native joining his older brother Kevin as Dakar champions on two wheels after his title wins in 2021 and then 2023 for KTM. Making Benavides' victory even more incredible in Saudi Arabia were the knee and shoulder injuries that he sustained just three months ago. - Luciano admitted: "I cannot believe it! I never stopped dreaming. To win by just two seconds is unreal. I woke up today full of motivation and energy, trusting myself to do what I can. That's the key to success at the Dakar. My brother Kevin won by 43 seconds in 2023 and that was the closest finish ever. Now I've won by two seconds. Two seconds after two weeks and over 8,000km is hard to believe." - With Spaniard Tosha Schareina rounding out the podium, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammates Daniel Sanders and Edgar Canet also finished after experiencing a rollercoaster two weeks in the desert. Reigning Bike champion Sanders suffered a broken collarbone on Wednesday, but dug deep to end up in fifth just over an hour behind while Spaniard Canet, 20, won three stages including the final one. - Sanders, 31, said: "At the finish I was in so much pain I just wanted to lie down. Then they told me Luciano had won, so I rushed over to congratulate him. That's the Dakar, it's never over until it's over. I'm just happy to make it to the finish line." Canet added: "I'm happy for all the KTM family. We show all the time that we have the fastest bike." - Baciuška already had three overall Dakar podium finishes in his locker - two in the SSV class and one in Challenger - however he went one better with a dominant Stock class performance over the two weeks that saw him bank seven stage victories en route to a 3hr58m victory from Defender Dakar D7X‑R teammate Sara Price with 14-time Dakar champion Stéphane Peterhansel finishing back in fourth. - Baciuška, 26, declared: "It's amazing for Defender to win in their first year. This is my fifth Dakar and I'm bringing home my first win. The team did a big job and missed out on a lot of sleep." - The Ultimate class did not go right down to the wire like many thought heading into the second week as Qatari Al-Attiyah drew on all his rally-raid experience to keep a comfortable cushion in his Dacia Sandrider from the challengers behind to win his sixth Dakar title. The Ford Raptor T1+ of Spaniard Nani Roma was second and his Swedish teammate Mattias Ekström third - just like his 2025 result. - Al-Attiyah, 55, revealed: "From the start we believed we could win this race. We started from zero with this Dacia project and we've developed the car so much. Now we've won the Dakar. Thank you to my co-driver Fabian and thank you to the team. I'm so happy to win the Dakar for the sixth time." - Frenchman Sébastien Loeb was frustrated again in his title quest finishing fourth with Spanish legend Carlos Sainz fifth, Brazilian Lucas Moraes seventh, former two-time Bike champion Toby Price of Australia eighth and young American Seth Quintero also earning a top-10 Ultimate finish in ninth. 2 / 3 - Spaniard Cristina Gutiérrez, American Mitch Guthrie Jr, Spain's Laia Sanz, South African Henk Lategan and Belgian Guillaume De Mévius can also be pleased with their efforts over the gruelling, tricky terrain especially the latter whose French co-driver Mathieu Baumel sported a new prosthetic leg. The Challenger class was packed full of encouraging daily performances from both Argentine Kevin Benavides - who finished seventh on the back of an excellent second week - and local Saudi driver Dania Akeel, who was consistently on the podium to cheer the home fans out supporting her in eighth. - Benavides, 37, said: "It's an historic day for our family and an historic day for the Dakar. I'm so proud of my brother Luciano. It was a tough start to life on four wheels in the first week, but we didn't give up." Akeel, 37, added: "We made it to the finish line, which is the most important thing you can do at the Dakar. I had one too many punctures on Stage 3 and that put me back." - Finally in the SSV class, Swedish debutant Johan Kristoffersson can be proud of his first Dakar tilt after he overcame going upside down in the opening Prologue to bounce back for stage podium finishes and an eighthplace finish while three-time Dakar champion Francisco 'Chaleco' López won one stage in ending sixth overall. - Kristoffersson, 37, said: "It's been two very eventful weeks. It started off really tough and from there we got up to a better road position. Then it started getting really enjoyable."
Ruhpolding started with an amazing Women's Relay on Wednesday and then gave us one amazing race after another.

During a few intense spring weeks in 1814, 112 representatives of the Norwegian people came together at Eidsvoll to draw up a constitution for Norway. They hoped the country would be an independent kingdom, but at the same time rumors of a Swedish invasion were swirling in the background.
Prime Minister Carney strikes a deal on Canadian canola exports with China; I'll speak with an Alberta farmer who's feeling cautiously optimistic -- after losing six figures to the trade war. Canadian auto industry leaders are feeling incautiously pessimistic about a new deal with China, saying a promise to import Chinese-made EVs puts the domestic auto sector on the road to ruin.Hearing the other side from the other side. Our guest says he was talking to Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine just moments before security forces took him away -- further evidence, he says, that the presidential election was rigged from the start. A CBC journalist is heading to Italy -- not to cover the Olympics, but to cover the skis of Canadian biathlon athletes with wax; to make sure everything, and everyone, goes smoothly. A reporter in Florida is being criticized for commiserating with the local NFL coach after a huge loss, instead of questioning him. In one Swedish community, it's an annual tradition for authorities to dismantle a particular sculpture chop-chop -- because it's a giant, distracting snow penis in the center of a roundabout.As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that guesses it doesn't always help to be a member of the inner circle.
In 1908 Sweden was one of the poorest countries of Europe, the serf system (statare) was still in place, almost a quarter of the population had left for America, only Norway and Ireland saw people fleeing in greater numbers, those who stayed behind organized and the Swedish proletariat became during that decade one of the most prone to strike and violent action in the western world. In 1906 the Christmas or "December Compromise" had been signed by the social democrats and the industrialists. They sought to avoid a "Bloody Sunday" incident like the one in Russia the previous year. The compromise was considered by many a back-stab, for it gave the employers rather than the unions right to manage and allocate work and to freely hire and dismiss employees at whim. As the class struggle intensified the industrialists began hiring British strike-breakers in the multiple thousands. The strike-breakers where armed and dangerous, but though their violence was as a rule acquitted by the bourgeois courts, three young communists began planning to take justice in their own hands and show the traitors who was boss.

I'In this episode, I chat with Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson about his radical plan to apply the architecture of the internet—packet switching, buffering, and decentralized routing—to the electricity grid. We explore how his “EnergyNet” concept uses power electronics to create galvanically separated microgrids that stop cascading failures and allow neighbors to share power directly. It is a mind-bending look at how treating electrons like data could lead to unlimited energy for a low fixed fee. This is a public episode.

This episode begins the only way we know how: absolute chaos. We veer from wills, tits, and Stranger Things before eventually remembering we're meant to be talking about a film. If you're new here, that's the show.The film in question is Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare — a swaggering WWII caper based on a real black-ops unit hand-picked by Churchill and Ian Fleming. Set in 1941, it imagines the birth of modern special forces: not rules, not honour, just twenty feral specialists sent in to break things and terrify the enemy.We talk about:The shift from “civilised” warfare to winning at any costHenry Cavill as a proto–James Bond, recruited straight out of prisonThe opening “Swedish fishermen” massacre as a mission statementCartoon-level violence, moustaches, one-liners and Guy Ritchie excessThe joy of watching war movies ditch decorum for chaosWhy SAS: Rogue Heroes makes the perfect companion pieceIt's not subtle. It's not serious. It's loud, slick, and gleefully ridiculous — a war movie powered by bravado and bad behaviour.If you like explosions, rule-breaking, and men with absolutely no fear of death, this episode (and this film) are for you.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

What exactly is Tantra, and how do modern teachings relate to traditions? Which other ideas inform intimacy workshops? Why is there often an emphasis on secrecy and power, and how is this exploited to enable abuse?Tova Olsson is a scholar of religion, as well as a teacher of yoga and Tantra. Our conversation explores these questions, along with many others – particularly the prevalence of what Tova calls “erotic spirituality”, and the extent to which Indian sources inform its practices. We also consider why tantric empowerment involves crossing boundaries, and whether non-duality dissolves accountability.In the process, we talk about scandals in multiple schools – from MISA and its offshoots (discussed in this Observer article and BBC podcast) to Siddha Yoga (the focus of a 1994 New Yorker exposé) and The New Tantra (whose founder features in this clip from Swedish public television).Tova's academic work is available here – including articles on MISA and a Siddha Yoga teacher. She is the author of a book about yoga and Tantra, and teaches online courses at Saraswati Studies, which is also her handle on Instagram.--

It's Thursday night football in 2026, and Arsenal have played out a stalemate against Liverpool at the Emirates. The result takes us six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but the performance—specifically a "f*****g awful" second half—has left the boys with plenty to vent about. THIS PODCAST RELEASED THE NIGHT OF THE GAME - IF YOU WANT THEM EARLY, JOIN UP, MEMBERSHIP AT THE BOTTOM Pete is joined by Matt Kandela and Johnny Cochrane to try and make wine out of a very muddy pool of water. While the table looks healthy, the eye test was worrying. From a lack of courage to a forward line that looks like it's playing with ten men, the lads do not hold back on a frustrating evening in North London. On the docket today: The Game of Two Halves: A decent, aggressive opening 45 minutes followed by a leggy, passive surrender of control in the second. Why did we let Liverpool turn this into a chess match? The Striker Crisis: The gloves are off regarding "Big Vik" Gyökeres. Matt and Johnny deliver a brutal assessment of the Swedish striker—is he a "statue," a "magnet for defenders," or just not up to the level? Plus, the dream of Julian Alvarez. Myles Lewis-Skelly: A tough cameo for the youngster against a rampant Frimpong. Is it time for a loan, or was he just hung out to dry? Captain Anonymous: Martin Ødegaard ghosted the big occasion. Zero shots, zero duels won, and no "arm-waving" to save us. Jurrien Timber Supremacy: The undisputed Man of the Match. Why he is the only player currently operating at an elite, "Adamantium" level. Perspective FC: We didn't lose, Liverpool had zero shots on target, and the chasers are miles off. Are we overreacting, or are the cracks starting to show? Grab a drink, take a breath, and let's digest that one. Up the Arsenal. If you want this episode ADVERT FREE, get a membership below.
