This special Saga Brief interview with Anna Melsteð (of the Eyrbyggja Saga Society) was recorded at the foot of Helgafell on a drizzly afternoon following a full day of exploring key sites from Eyrbyggja Saga with Anna, Eyberg, and Guðlaug as our guides. Our day began with a quick viewing of the original site of the Þórsnessþing, mainly to get a view of where drítsker might be. We followed that up with a rugged hike to Vigrafjörður, where the Thorbrandssons and Thorlakssons famously clashed on the ice in chapter 45 of the saga. From there, we trekked to Bólstað on Álftafjörður to pay our respects to Andy's thingman Arnkell. We were even greeted with a rainbow, a generous gift from the best man in the saga. But the biggest highlight was walking the paths carved (allegedly) by the Swedish berserks Halli and Leiknir, followed by a brief rest at the overgrown ruins of Killer-Stýr's sauna, where their tale ended in steam and the tip of Stýr's spear. It was, of course, one of the most rewarding days we've ever spent in Iceland. The stories of Eyrbyggja Saga came alive in a powerful new way as we stood in the places where they unfolded. The day concluded at Hraunháls, where we enjoyed Icelandic hospitality, a tasty homemade cake, and a glimpse of the proofs for the incredible Eyrbyggja Saga tapestry. Can you tell who these two lovebirds might be? Also note the way the upper and lower registers contribute to the story. As evening approached, we finally drove over to the base of Helgafell to sit down with Anna for a chat about her work, the power of landscape in the sagas, and the growing community of saga enthusiasts on Snæfellsnes. We also got some more help with our Icelandic pronunciation. Be sure to check out what the Eyrbyggja Saga Society is up to on their webpage and follow them on Facebook. You can also stay at Hraunháls through Airbnb and enjoy the hospitality of Eyberg and Guðlaug.

Simon Stjernholm's new book Sensing Islam: Engaging and Contesting the Senses in Muslim Religiosity (Bloomsbury Press, 2025) considers specific case studies of embodiment and oratory productions by Muslims in Denmark, Sweden, and Cyprus. In the chapter on approaching God, we learn how rituals such as du‘a (intercessory prayers) or dhikr (remembrance of God) informs sensorial experiences of the divine, particularly intimate ones, while the discussion on meditating on Muhammad considers the bodily aspects of Prophet Muhammad, such as his saliva, urine, and sweat that influence mawlid literatures and ritual performance of them within Sufi communities like the Naqshbandi-Haqqanis. Though rituals emerging from embodied understandings of holy figures are not without some tension, as we learn throughout the book but especially during the discussion on graves. Here the interred bodies of Sufi saints are caught up in debates around the permissibility of shrine visitation, a topic that comes up amongst lectures given by Swedish Muslim leaders. Overall, then, through analysis of Danish and Swedish podcast materials, ritual practices, such as devotion to the Prophet Muhammad and Sufi saints, we understand more about the sonic and pious dimensions of Islam and the Muslim authorial voices and listening that shapes them. This book will be of interest to those who work on sound studies, material culture, Sufism and Islam in Europe. Learn more about your ad choices.

Interview by Kris PetersEven after more than 30 years, KATATONIA continues to redefine the emotional spectrum of their genre, effortlessly shifting between haunting vulnerability and commanding artistry.With sonic landscapes that evoke dystopia, inner demons, purity, and beauty alike, the band's upcoming album Nightmares as Extensions Of The Waking State - out June 6 - stands as a testament to their enduring brilliance. It is another slab of melodic heaviness from the Swedish metal outfit, a journey into sonic bleakness that still manages to offer light and hope amid the chaos.HEAVY had a chat with bass player Niklas Sandin to find out more.Besides general album questions, we also ask Sandin if, after five albums now with Katatonia, he is starting to feel more comfortable with his role in the band."I think I'm that kind of person that, of course, I'm comfortable with the people in the band and everything and finding my place," he measured. "But as a musician, I don't think I will ever be totally comfortable. I think there's always something new to learn, and I'm always hard on myself, you know, keeping a high standard - hopefully a high standard (laughs). And so I'm always feeling that I want to push myself to be even better on the new album or make things more professional or improve on my live presence and stuff. I like to keep myself on my toes and not be too comfortable or put myself in the armchair and not evolve. That would be very, very boring and not good or fair for anyone. It's been over 15 years since I did the first live gig with Katatonia, so it would have been awkward if I didn't feel somewhat comfortable being in the band (laughs). It would have been 15 very long years."In the full interview, Niklas dove deeper into Nightmares as Extensions Of The Waking State musically, discussing the singles and how they reflect the overall dynamics of the album. We talked about how the album represents Katatonia moving forward, the awesome cover and what it depicts, the album title, and its significance, bringing in two new guitarists for the album cycle, the overall theme of the album and if it's a body of hope or despair and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

That Was The Week publisher Keith Teare argues we're “accelerating” toward an age of “abundance” in which AI and automation will slash production costs to near-zero, freeing humans to pursue hobbies instead of jobs. I'm less optimistic. I don't disagree with Keith's premise that AI will profoundly change not just our economy but our society and politics. But abundance? Who will own these AI factories? How will profits and wealth be distributed? Keith envisions massive corporate tax rates (up to 98%) redistributing automated profits, while I question whether people actually want a post-work world of ubiquitous stamp collectors or novelists. Our debate captures the gulf between Silicon Valley's utopian promises and the harsh political realities of the 2020s. Will technological abundance liberate humanity or concentrate power among tech giants and impoverish the rest of us? Five Key Takeaways * The Economics Are Clear, Politics Are Messy - Keith argues we're economically heading toward abundance through AI/automation reducing costs to near-zero, but admits the political question of wealth distribution remains "contested" and could lead to either democracy or autocracy.* Work vs. Hobbies Debate - Keith believes most people work jobs they don't love just to afford the things they do love, so abundance would free them to pursue passions. I counter that most people don't have hobbies and actually like having jobs.* The 98% Solution - Keith's preferred path to shared abundance: massive corporate tax rates on automated production (up to 98%) to redistribute AI-generated wealth, creating something "better than the Swedish system."* Big Tech Will Lead, Like It or Not - We both agree government won't drive this transformation—it'll be Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others. The question is whether they'll be regulated/taxed or become "modern-day empires."* Scarcity in the Age of Abundance - It's a paradox. While promising intellectual abundance, we're seeing increased physical scarcity (land, immigration restrictions, declining birth rates) driven by political insecurity about the future.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

On 1 June 1985, a convoy of New Age Travellers set off for the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge in the south of England. They were planning to hold a festival there for the summer solstice, but they were stopped by police blocking their access to the site. The authorities had heard the travellers were carrying chainsaws and petrol bombs. The police smashed the hippies' vans and tents in what became known as the Battle of the Beanfield. It was a turning point for British alternative culture. Lucy Burns speaks to Helen Hatt who was one of more than 500 people arrested that day.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Send us a textMinecraft: The Movie had all the ingredients for disaster - a video game with no story, a director known for divisive comedies, and the challenge of bringing blocky visuals to life. Yet somehow, this cubic adventure emerges as one of the most genuinely entertaining family films of the year.Jack Black brings manic energy as Steve, a doorknob salesman who discovers a portal to the Minecraft world and builds his own cubic paradise. When the evil Malgosia (played with delightful villainy) threatens to conquer this realm, Steve teams up with Garrett (Jason Momoa in what might be his most enjoyable role yet), a washed-up gamer who stumbles upon a mysterious artifact. What makes Minecraft work isn't its plot - which is paper-thin - but its commitment to embracing absurdity with open arms. Night comes every twenty minutes, characters craft elaborate structures with a single bang on a table, and physics operates on game logic rather than reality. Director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) fills every frame with visual gags and references that will delight fans without alienating newcomers.The film's standout moments include a flying sequence where Momoa instructs Black to "let my hips be your guide" while soaring through canyons, a wrestling match featuring the rare "chicken jockey" enemy, and perhaps the funniest villain death scene in recent memory involving multiple hidden knives. Jennifer Coolidge provides perfect comedic relief as a recently divorced school administrator who falls for one of the blocky villagers, believing his inability to speak means "he's Swedish."Unlike many video game adaptations that struggle with their source material, Minecraft leans fully into what makes the game special - creativity, discovery, and the joy of building something from nothing. It's a rollercoaster ride that prioritizes fun over logic, and it's all the better for it.Have you played Minecraft or watched the film? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

In 1992, European football was at a turning point. The European Cup was going to be replaced with a new format: The Champions League. European football's governing body, Uefa wanted a classical theme to accompany the new competition, in an attempt to try and fix the image of football which was mired by hooliganism at the time. Tony Britten was the man tasked with writing such a piece of music. He tells Tim O'Callaghan how he did it. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

What happens when one of the Nordics' largest grocery retailers empowers 1,300 local entrepreneurs under a single national brand? In this episode, Ian Jindal chats with Oskar Jakobsson, Director of Customer Solutions at ICA Gruppen, to explore the unique federated model in Swedish grocery retail. Oskar shares how ICA balances entrepreneurial autonomy with digital innovation, discusses the challenges of unifying customer experience across diverse store formats, and reflects on the accelerating pace of change in retail technology. The conversation ranges from handwritten signs and local flavour to AI-driven personalisation, the future of agentic shopping, and the enduring joy of simply strolling through great stores. About the Guest Oskar Jakobsson is Director of Customer Solutions at ICA Gruppen, where he leads a team of nearly 200 colleagues responsible for all digital customer-facing touchpoints. With over 20 years' experience in retail, spanning SaaS suppliers, H&M, and Sweden's alcohol monopoly, Oskar brings deep expertise in digital transformation, customer experience, and the art of retail. Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Oskar's retail journey, passion for the industry, and why he loves just being in stores. 03:00 – ICA's Unique Model: 1,300 Entrepreneurs How ICA's structure empowers local ownership, creates lively, differentiated stores, and fosters community connection. 08:00 – Store Formats & Family Businesses The four ICA formats, from small convenience stores to hypermarkets, and the generational, entrepreneurial spirit behind them. 10:00 – Digital Customer Experience at Scale Oskar's role in orchestrating all digital touchpoints, from apps to in-store tech, and the challenge of aligning with retailer-facing systems. 13:00 – Defining “Best Customer Experience” How ICA uses surveys, A/B testing, and constant feedback to keep the customer at the centre of every digital and in-store decision. 15:00 – The Complexity of Grocery Shopping Journeys Why food retail is uniquely challenging, and how ICA leverages data for relevance and personalisation. 17:00 – Retail Media, Promotions & Data The balance between central campaigns and local autonomy, and how ICA navigates data sharing and privacy in a federated model. 20:00 – The Pace of Change & Flexible Architecture Reflections on the rapid acceleration of retail tech, the need for adaptable IT infrastructure, and lessons from past digital transformations. 25:00 – AI, Agents & The Future of Grocery Oskar's take on the coming wave of agentic shopping, the importance of brand trust, and how AI will reshape both online and in-store experiences. 31:00 – AI in Practice at ICA From classic analytics to generative AI and Microsoft Copilot, ICA is using AI for efficiency, decision support, and behind-the-scenes innovation. 34:00 – Advice for Retail Technologists Oskar's career lessons: prioritisation, embracing change, and the value of curiosity and continuous learning. 39:00 – Getting Re-energised by Great Retail Why Oskar strolls malls for inspiration, and the importance of reconnecting with what makes retail exciting. 40:00 – What's Next: Strategy & Direction The excitement of strategic planning, aligning teams, and setting direction for ICA's future.   Standout Quotes “ICA isn't a chain. It's almost 1,300 separate retailers… Each store is genuinely their own store, adapting to their local customer and community.” “You always need to prioritize. You will never be able to do everything. It takes a while before you realize that.” “If you have a monolith you can't change, you need an integration layer that is flexible. Tech isn't the problem-it's prioritizing investment.” “The pace of change will never be as slow as it is today. It will only be quicker.” “Retail is a hobby. I'm fortunate enough to work with my hobby.” --  Run time: 38 minutes   INFORMATION: [

Found in 2011 by the Swedish diving team Ocean X, this strange, circular formation resting nearly 300 feet below the surface of the Baltic Sea has sparked countless theories, ranging from ancient lost civilizations and secret Nazi technology to crashed UFOs and natural geological formations. Join Joe and Jen as they explore the origins of the anomaly, the initial sonar images that captivated the world, and the persistent mystery that has only deepened over the years. Why does this object appear to have unnatural right angles, what looks like a ramp or staircase, and even what some believe is a landing skid? Is it simply an unusual rock formation shaped by glacial activity—or is it something far more ancient, intelligent, and unexplained? But that's just the beginning. The episode also takes you on a global journey beneath the waves to explore undersea ruins found across our planet—remnants of structures that challenge our understanding of history and human civilization. From the sunken city of Dwarka off the coast of India, said to be thousands of years older than previously believed human settlements, to the mysterious Yonaguni Monument off the coast of Japan with its seemingly carved steps and geometric patterns, we examine whether our ancestors may have left behind submerged legacies hidden beneath the oceans. Could these underwater formations be evidence of forgotten advanced civilizations—possibly even the fabled Atlantis? Or are these just products of natural erosion, misinterpretation, and wishful thinking? We weigh the evidence, challenge the assumptions, and ask the hard questions that keep the spirit of paranormal exploration alive. Also featured in this episode: The role of sonar imaging and how underwater anomalies are discovered. Debunking and defending the Baltic Sea Anomaly—what skeptics and believers are saying. Connections between rising sea levels and the loss of coastal civilizations. How tectonic shifts and climate changes might explain some underwater “ruins”—but not all. Whether you're a deep-sea diving enthusiast, a lover of lost civilizations, or just curious about one of the most fascinating unexplained phenomena of our time, this episode is sure to make you question what lies beneath the surface.

OK, so this is a trip.This is audio from the transcript of an interview with a "Terran Reptilian" being named Lacerta that was posted on a Swedish conspiracy website back in 2000. The first of two interviews, this was supposedly recorded on December 16th, 1999, and posted the following January, 2000. A second interview supposedly took place in April, 2000, and we will publish Part 2 as soon as we get our grubby little hands on it. This is obviously most likely total fiction, but set aside your disbelief while listening and ask yourself, "Could this actually be true?"True or not, this is super interesting!(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.Hail to our Reptilian overlords!

It is only since Vivian Maier's death in 2009 that the 150,000 photographs she rarely showed to anyone have come to light. Working as a nanny in the suburbs of Chicago in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, she captured extraordinary street scenes on a Rolleiflex camera. But she did not always develop the photos. With no permanent home of her own, she paid for storage units where her life's work was kept. The archives were auctioned when she died and she is now considered one of the best street photographers of the 20th century.

Art and Hanna Bankier explore the complex terrain of life transitions, particularly the shift from hands-on parenting to becoming a "Mama Mentor" as children leave home. Hanna shares her journey from Swedish immigrant to transition coach, revealing how every identity shift creates opportunities for authentic reinvention. "We have this idea that the time we have left is unknown, combined with life is fragile, equals do it now," she reflects, challenging listeners to embrace change rather than resist it.Through personal stories and practical exercises, Hanna offers listeners a roadmap for navigating transitions with intention. "Are you performing, producing, or providing?" she asks, confronting our culture's obsession with productivity as the measure of worth. The conversation weaves between vulnerability and practical advice, including a powerful identity-mapping exercise with colored markers that reveals where your energy flows. Can we slow down enough to recognize our inherent value beyond what we do?Hanna Bankier is the founder of Birdie Launcher, where she helps moms spread their wings as their little ones leave the nest. A sought-after coach, change catalyst, and speaker, Hanna left her 20+ year television career as a VP of Production to follow her passion: connecting people to possibilities. Drawing from her own experience launching her oldest child (now a college junior) while preparing for her high school senior's departure, Hanna became the "go-to Birdie Launcher friend" among her peers. With advanced degrees in Electronic Communication Arts and Industrial Organizational Psychology, plus certifications in Mediation, Conflict Resolution, and coaching (ACC from ICF), she brings professional expertise to personal transitions. Her provocative question to mothers—"What if the best years of your life are yet to come?"—guides her work helping women rediscover themselves beyond active parenting. When not coaching, Hanna serves on the board of BAYCAT.org, hikes, dances, travels, and hosts gatherings for her intentionally-created community.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.

Martín Chambi is regarded as one of the most important indigenous Peruvian photographers of the 20th century. Famous for his black and white images of local Andean people and the surrounding countryside, Chambi's work challenged preconceptions of Peruvian culture and traditions. In 1924 he was among the first to photograph Machu Picchu – his work helping to shape the way Peru is seen around the world. His photography was declared part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation by Peru's government in 2019.

After establishing the city of St Petersburg, what was Peter the Great's next step in his titanic struggle against Charles XII of Sweden, for mastery of northern and eastern Europe? What drastic, brutal action did he take against Poland, to slow the Swedish advance into his territories? And, after the defection of one of his oldest and most important allies - the leader of the Ukrainian Cossacks - to the Swedes, could Peter and his army survive to fight on?  Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the next and deadliest stage of the Great Northern War: from action-packed military conquests, and harsh marches into the depths of a northern winter, to great betrayals, and the outbreak of the battle that would decide the fate of two of Europe's mightiest rulers…  The Rest Is History Club: Become a member for exclusive bonus content, early access to full series and live show tickets, ad-free listening, our exclusive newsletter, discount book prices on titles mentioned on the pod, and our members' chatroom on Discord.
