I believe in the power of nutrition. It really is the fourth leg!  Putting on my Advanced Sports Dietitian's hat, I love to take the science and translate that into information and practical advice that triathletes can understand and trust - knowing it will help them to unlock their true potential - to train harder, recover faster and perform at their BEST.  Within the Triathlon Nutrition Academy, the goal is to not just give triathletes nutrition advice for their next race or their next season - it's to have them understand nutrition and what that looks like for them - the WHY and the HOW - so they have that knowledge to take with them FOREVER! As triathlete and Triathlon Nutrition Academy foundation member, Sue Swindon, said so eloquently when I spoke to her recently, "Taryn you provide the "NO BS" approach to nutrition". And it's true - I'm not about quick fixes and diets. What we provide within the Triathlon Nutrition Academy is not just a quick fix, eight week challenge. We cut through the noise and give you that real understanding - something you can take with you forevermore! Take a listen to this week's podcast and see if you can relate to Sue's triathlon journey - from frustration, stress and confusion -  to, now, a sense of understanding, empowerment, an excitement about food and nutrition, a joy of eating (for sport and for life) and a very real sense of community.

Jon Stone and I are joining the dots in this week's #RailNatter... Where on our side of Europe would really benefit from a new high speed link? We trip our way across from Sweden to Spain, from Swindon to Serbia in search of the answers. This is most certainly an incomplete list. But the real challenges aren't perhaps the physical infrastructure, but the political unimaginativeness of our leaders. Enjoyed this?

If you asked me to dance, I'd probably freeze on the spot. I lack rhythm and coordination and some people say I have two left feet! But with some persuasion and Dutch courage I can be tempted to take to the dance floor and shake some moves – and that, apparently, is only natural.如果你让我跳舞，我可能会当场僵住。我缺乏节奏和协调，有人说我有两只左脚！但有了一些说服力和荷兰人的勇气，我可能会想去舞池摇晃一些动作——显然，这是很自然的。Experts have found as well as being fun, dancing might have helped us to survive as a species.专家们发现，跳舞不仅有趣，还可能帮助我们作为一个物种生存下来。Evolutionary anthropologist Bronwyn Tarr from the University of Oxford has been telling the BBC World Service CrowdScience programme that when we dance with others, we are rewarded with feel-good endorphins that change how we feel about ourselves and those around us.牛津大学的进化人类学家 Bronwyn Tarr 告诉 BBC World Service CrowdScience 节目，当我们与他人共舞时，我们会获得感觉良好的内啡肽，这种内啡肽会改变我们对自己和周围人的感觉。Dancing alone is one thing but it's dancing as a group that makes our brain reward us with a cocktail of feel-good hormones and is likely to lead to profound social effects. It's being in-sync with others that makes us happy. She says that "dancing fosters social closeness between people. It helps us build social connections and communities. In our past, those social connections would have been critical for surviving."独自跳舞是一回事，但作为一个集体跳舞，它会让我们的大脑用一种感觉良好的荷尔蒙鸡尾酒来奖励我们，并且可能会产生深远的社会影响。与他人保持同步使我们感到高兴。她说，“跳舞促进了人与人之间的社会亲密关系。它帮助我们建立社会联系和社区。在我们过去，这些社会联系对于生存至关重要。”You certainly need the right kind of music to help you shimmy, boogie or even twerk, but once you get the right beat and get into the groove with others, it can be an uplifting experience. Even my cringeworthy dad dancing makes me feel good sometimes. And in Swindon in the UK, this 'style' of dancing has been taken to a new level, where babies, attached to their fathers' chests in a sling, have been dancing with the aim of increasing the bond between parent and child.你当然需要合适的音乐来帮助你摇摆、布吉甚至扭动，但是一旦你获得了正确的节拍并与其他人一起进入节奏，这可能是一种令人振奋的体验。即使是我令人畏惧的爸爸跳舞有时也让我感觉很好。在英国的斯温顿，这种“风格”的舞蹈被提升到了一个新的水平，婴儿们用吊带系在父亲的胸前，一直在跳舞，目的是增加父母和孩子之间的联系。Dance is also a good way to keep fit and improve our mental health. In Wales there have been calls for doctors to prescribe dance classes to people who are unwell. The Arts Council of Wales claims there are many health benefits. And Bronwyn Tarr says "more and more we're actually discovering that your longevity – your life expectancy – is predicted by the social connections that you have… still today it's something we should do more of."舞蹈也是保持健康和改善心理健康的好方法。在威尔士，有人呼吁医生为身体不适的人开舞蹈课。威尔士艺术委员会声称有许多健康益处。Bronwyn Tarr 说：“我们实际上越来越多地发现，你的寿命——你的预期寿命——是由你所拥有的社会关系所预测的……今天仍然是我们应该做更多的事情。”It could be part of being an uptight Englishman that makes me a reluctant dancer. Look at other nationalities such as Cubans where dancing is at the heart of their cultural identity. And in Brazil at Carnival time, people let their hair down by dancing together day and night. They seem to be having a good time – so maybe I should get on my feet and dance!这可能是作为一个紧张的英国人的一部分，这让我成为一个不情愿的舞者。看看其他民族，例如古巴人，舞蹈是他们文化认同的核心。在狂欢节期间的巴西，人们日夜一起跳舞，让头发垂下。他们似乎玩得很开心——所以也许我应该站起来跳舞！词汇表rhythm 节奏感coordination 协调性two left feet “两只左脚”，跳舞时舞步笨拙Dutch courage 借酒壮胆，酒后之勇shake some moves 扭动几下evolutionary anthropologist 人类进化学家endorphin 内啡呔hormone 荷尔蒙in-sync 与…同步的foster 培养，促进social connection 社会关系shimmy 跳希米舞（抖动肩部和臀部的舞蹈）boogie 跟着流行乐跳舞twerk 抖臀get into the groove 进入理想状态uplifting 令人精神焕发的dad dancing “爸爸式舞姿”（较笨拙、过时的舞步）bond 纽带prescribe（医生）开（药）longevity 长寿cultural identity 文化认同let one's hair down 放松，尽情享受

Erm, Josh Davison is on the show this week. The clue is in the title. Our new number nine talks about the win at Crawley, his partnership with Nathan Young-Coombes, his time at Swindon and Charlton and Forest Green, his dad's memories of John Fashanu, and the potential of renationalising the railways. Either side of that, Nick and Stu have all the usual, including a happy memory of smashing Watford. Absolutely smashing them.

Luke Jones presents political debate and discussion from the Steam Museum in Swindon

It starts. Another new season. Another beginning for a bunch of Between the Sticks from now until May. All the same stuff: Premier League to League Two and anything outside of that which warrants special goalkeeper attention. And by the same stuff, we do sadly mean an immediate return for Commentary Corner. Jamie Carragher flexed his analytical inadequacies when it comes to goalkeeping in running the rule on Aaron Ramsdale, David de Gea and Robert Sanchez this weekend. In more positive news... - Illan Meslier and Edouard Mendy started their respective campaigns in solid fashion - Wes Foderingham sounded the first Goalkeeper Assist klaxon of the season - Double stops from Christian Walton and David Stockdale helped bag three points for Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday respectively - Sol Brynn, on loan at Swindon from Middlesbrough, threw his hand in the ring for a Save of the Week contender

Episode 449: Swindon Town 0-0 Salford City - A weird one! A poor first half followed by a valiant second half showing as 10-men Swindon get their first point of the 22/23 season. Dan is on the pod to talk it out. SUH-WIN-DON!

Tune in as we speak to Alex Arkell from Arkells brewery in Swindon. Listen to his fascinating story and that of this traditional tower brewery.

It's not very often you come across a chap who has built his own amphitheatre so he can showcase live music and theatrical performances in his garden. But that's exactly what Dave Hartland has done at the Cotswold Sculpture Park. He's spent nearly three decades turning a field of weeds in the surroundings of the Cotswold Water Park into a unique trail of artwork and statues, with visitors travelling far and wide to view (and sometimes buy) the pieces on display. With his DIY amphitheatre project now complete, he's opening the park's doors for evening performances with musicians, actors and storytellers. We talk to Dave about his journey, his own artwork, and what he's planning next. We play an instrumental piece from one of the performers due to play at the Park this summer - Xavier Leret. Kieran also chooses the latest release from Deux Furieuses, who are playing in Trowbridge this week. We also talk about how some venues change their usual listings to cater for a different crowd during the summer holidays, and we also mention a couple of local festivals due to take place in early August - Festival on the Farm near Swindon, and Valleyfest on the edge of the Mendips.

In today's show, we are previewing the new season ahead as Seafarers kick off their 2022/23 campaign this Saturday against that loveable old scamp Paul Ince's Reading. We'll also give you our season predictions and catch up on all the goss since the last pod. Everton, KFC & Salford Did we glean anything out of these games? Transfers Rhys William signs on loan - The Nobber defender Do we mention text-gate?! Dominic Thompson for an undisclosed fee from Brentford on a three plus one Full-back. Played for Swindon and Ipswich on loan Theo Corbeanu from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. Canadian international, six caps “Can play on either side”? Branagan - is it finally on? Ponds We won't love him as much Karl Robinson Reading Kit News Talk Dobbie to me Mascot gate New away shirt Moretti lounge

The new Championship season is a week away and Cardiff City are in good shape. A 4-2 win against Swindon has Bluebirds purring at the silky football being played by Moro's blues.

Low rainfall in parts of England and Wales followed by hot weather is causing water levels in rivers to drop, endangering fish. Along the Wye and Usk rivers in mid and south Wales, hugely popular with anglers, the local rivers' trust has suspended all salmon and trout fishing, saying low river flows and high water temperatures are causing stress to the fish, and even killing them in some places. Over the past six months, Parliament's Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee has been taking evidence about the difficulties faced by people living in rural areas when it comes to accessing mental health services. This week the MPs held their final session, grilling health and environment ministers and officials. All this week we're taking a closer look at all aspects of the dairy industry. Making a small dairy herd profitable is tough, but adding value to the product can be one way of making it work. At Berkeley Farm near Swindon farmer Ed Gosling has acquired a fleet of six electric milk floats to deliver his milk to around three thousand homes nearby. Presented by Steffan Messenger and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Another location recording this month where we pack up the equipment and take to the Wiltshire landscape. As with last month you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out where we were, but it wasn't Bincknoll Castle or Broad Town White Horse. As a clue – it was very windy! Before we got onto the main topic, we did our usual review of activity and news since the last podcast, which was a whole month ago. Regular contributor Elaine Perkins wrote an excellent blog for the website following her exploration of Clearbury Ring, and the villages of Odstock and Nunton. All of it new to us. Once again her photographs are superb. There is a link to her blog below. After a long break Paul and his regular walking buddy Stu completed a superb walk on the border of Dorset starting at Win Green before exploring the Iron Age hill fort at Winkelbury Hill then on through the Rushmore Estate to Tollard Royal before returning to Win Green via Guy Ritchie's Ashcombe Estate. This had the potential to be controversial due to a blocked Open Access area but had a happy ending. You'll find a link to Paul's blog below. We have also undertaken a couple of guided walks for Wiltshire Museum since the last podcast – Hippenscombe and Folly Wood, both of which we have written blogs about in the past and for which you can find links below. Unless you listen to the podcast on a Sunday morning, by the time you hear this Glyn will have led another walk based on Castle Combe. It starts at 2:00pm on Sunday 3 July. Paul will be absent from this particular walk. We then have a chat about our location for the recording before moving on to our main topic. - Bincknoll Castle and Broad Town White Horse. The strong wind at our location had the potential to disrupt our recording as Glyn wrestled with his notes to stop them blowing away. But our recording equipment seems to have done a great job of screening out the wind noise. You can follow Glyn's blog about his walk to using the link below. This was an eight mile walk that Glyn completed in March which meant it was boggy in places. The summer would be a great time to try it though. It starts and finishes at Wroughton, and being close to Swindon we couldn't resist a few jokes about the town. But we love Swindon really. Maybe. During the recording Glyn talks us through his best Tommy Cooper impression as he passes back and forth repeatedly through not one but two isolated gates that served no useful purpose other than to act as a comedic prop. We needed no further invitation as the podcast degenerated into farce. Bincknoll Castle is best viewed from the air where its location can be appreciated, and Glyn has posted some drone shots in his blog. The same can be said of Broad Town White Horse where this almost childlike depiction of a horse is hidden by long grass from ground level. Again Glyn's drone shots in the blog show it in all its simple glory. Then on to the wrap up: Steve Dixon's piece leading into our main subject today is called “From the Edge of Grey to Green”. We tend to use this piece in podcasts that feature white horses.  As ever the piece in the introduction and at the end of the podcast is entitled “The Holloway”. The great news is that, whilst Steve has provided us with a sizable library of music, he has of late become enthused and promised us some new work. Finally don't forget to check out the Hidden Wiltshire online shop on the website if you'd like to help us keep the lights on. The first Hidden Wiltshire book has now sold out but the second book is still available at a specially discounted price from the website.

Most of us cannot move for diversity, equity and inclusion strategies in our workplaces, but one thing is often missing: class. When you come from an economically disadvantaged background colleagues often can't tell, yet the workplace can feel like a hostile environment. How can managers and companies help their colleagues and employees to thrive and advance, especially when many people may not want to be open about their backgrounds at work?This episode of Working It starts with Sophie, a young entrant to the TV industry, a sector once rife with nepotism and unpaid internships. She got her break via Creative Access, a UK non-profit that supports young people into internships and jobs in the creative industries. Host Isabel Berwick also hears from Annette King, who started out as a "working-class girl from Swindon" and is now UK chief executive of advertising group Publicis. What does her experience tell us?Finally, Isabel talks to Naomi Rovnick, FT markets reporter, about her route into journalism from a non-traditional background, why "masking" socio-economic background is so common as a way to fit in with what Naomi calls "skiing and wine" chat, and why collecting better data will help us break the class ceiling.

Join Matt Davies Adams, Flo Lloyd Hughes, Adrian Clarke, and Sam Parkin for a look back on a big weekend in the EFL. This week: can Forest pip Bournemouth to the automatic slot? What went wrong with QPR and Mark Warburton? And who is the Prince Charming of League Two? With League One done and dusted for another season we look back on fitting finale that crowned Wigan as Champions and saw Rotherham join them in the Championship next season. And it means we have some tasty tussles in the play offs too - despite four goals from Scott Twine, those weren't enough to secure MK Dons a play off berth.

We hear about how he got started in performing, and ended up making scrambled eggs in a cement mixer. George shares his most popular Snack Hacker recipe - you'll never look at a naan bread in the same way.Then it's time for some serious chat, as George talks about losing his parents very close to each other. He tells us what he wishes he'd done differently before they died, and what has helped him to deal with the grief. It's funnier than it sounds.

Drummer Terry Chambers was the motor that powered XTC through its first five albums before frontman Andy Partridge broke down and abruptly ended the band's touring days. Chambers left soon afterward, moved to Australia and was away from music for three decades—in part trying to pay off the massive debt from that cancelled tour. Yet recently he moved back to Swindon, England, and teamed with XTC songwriter/bassist Colin Moulding on a new band, TC&I. When Moulding pulled the plug on that project, Chambers decided to tour XTC songs anyway—in EXTC. With candor and good humor, he discusses his playing and reveals what it was like to be in and then out of XTC—and who's the biggest obstacle to a possible reunion.

Our guest for this episode is the fabulous Kate Lawler! She tells us all about her experience of becoming a mum, and how it's our fault she got pregnant in the first place.

As is the custom when new mums meet old hands, we give Kate some unsolicited advice, and we finish off with some tip top Scummy Mummy Confessions. Kate's brilliant book, Maybe Baby, is out now.

After QPR's David Marshall suffered an injury in the midweek defeat to Nottingham Forest, the club found themselves in the unenviable position of having four first-team goalkeepers out of action. With Dillon Barnes (essentially a No6) recalled from a loan spell and waiting in the wings, Mark Warburton wasn't able to dip into the emergency loan market and instead plumped for Keiren Westwood – one of very few out of contract goalkeepers available on a short-term deal. We kick things off with how that move panned out for the ex-Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday stopper, before diving into all the key action from the Premier League and FA Cup Quarter Finals - including a long-awaited return to action (and subsequent clean sheet) for Arsenal's Bernd Leno. In the EFL, Jamie Cumming, Anthony Patterson and Jordan Wright all made claims for Save of the Weekend contenders, while another two klaxons were sounded due to assists from Craig MacGillivray and Jojo Wollacott of Charlton and Swindon respectively.

What can we do to prepare ourselves for grief? Is there a right and wrong way to fight? And should we force our children to say sorry? Answering all these questions and many more is the brilliant psychotherapist, Julia Samuel. She tells us about her experience of helping people through child bereavement, and we discuss the conversations we need to have with our own parents before it's too late. We talk about sharing the mental load, and living losses, including the ones we're dealing with right now. So there's some deep stuff in here - but as always, we manage to have some laughs along the way. Julia's excellent book, Every Family Has a Story, is out on 17 March.

Is Russia's fiasco in Ukraine just Putin's monstrous folly? Or does the Russian military have even bigger problems? Arthur Snell hears from KCL Lecturer for German and European Studies Alexander Clarkson about how a flawed image of Ukraine as a failed state sowed the seeds of Russia's embarrassment. And how, when Putin invaded Crimea in 2014, he inadvertently began training a generation of fighters who do not know how to give up. Sound quality warning! This time Arthur records from a car park in Swindon. Never let it be said that we don't go the extra mile for the Doomsday Watch faithful. We're putting out irregular Ukraine War Bulletins on different facets of this massive conflict. Help our work, and shape the next full series of Doomsday Watch, by supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/doomsdaywatch Resources to help the Ukrainian people can be found here: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “How are you going to occupy a country of 21m people with a force of 150,000 troops? It's La La Land.” “The Russians talked themselves into a position where they had to attack something.” “What really matters is, when everything goes to hell around you, can you stay calm? Some 400,000 Ukrainians have crossed that psychological threshold. Whatever hits them, they can do what has to be done." “Everything the Russians have done is just very… weird. Everything they do triggers what they're trying to prevent.” “If Ukraine survives, very mid-sized states will conclude that, you know what? We can fuck the Americans or the Chinese.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original music by Paul Hartnoll.

Join Mike Bacon as he chats to former Ipswich Town star, Kevin Horlock, in this special Kings of Anglia podcast. Kevin looks back at his career at Town when he almost helped the Blues back into the Premiership. He remembers his Swindon, Manchester City and West Ham days, as well as life as an international player. And his new role as a non-league manager at local team Needham Market. He also reveals some dark moments. How a freak injury while copying a fellow Ipswich team-mate's audacious celebration aided his retirement from the pro game, and how a Horlock 'strop' at Carrow Road ended in a £300 taxi bill home. From stories and thoughts on Joe Royle to Kieran McKenna, Jim Magilton to Darren Currie.... Kuqi, Bent, Tommy Miller et al, this is the story of a professional footballer's love of the game, throughout his many highs and just as tough lows. Kings of Anglia is sponsored by Manscaped.
