In this episode we answer emails from Niek, Dustin, Dale, Hydromod and . We discuss adopting a golden ratio mix and not having unrealistic expectations, the plusses and minuses of the AI-version-of-you fad, the new website and why trying to use gold futures for leverage might not be the best choice for your gambling problem.Link: Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever had a month where nearly everything in your portfolio rose and wondered if the universe broke? We unpack why September's across-the-board lift made sense in a weaker-dollar world, what temporary positive correlation looks like in practice, and how a golden ratio-style allocation helps you ride the wave without refreshing your account every hour.A listener's note from the road kicks off a candid conversation about trusting diversified portfolios and ignoring daily noise. From there, we dig into the hype and hazards of AI finance gurus—yes, including Ray Dalio's “digital Ray.” We talk usefulness, accuracy gaps, and the risk of forming unhealthy attachments to bots that sound wise but miss nuance. Along the way, we challenge a popular myth: that copying successful people's habits will unlock their results. Extraordinary investors aren't great because they make their beds; they're great because they're extraordinarily skilled. For the rest of us, evidence-based allocations, low costs, and sensible rebalancing are the habits that pay.We also get practical. You'll hear our simple distribution shortcut (divide by 240 for a 5% annualized monthly draw), plus a tour of our streamlined website with faster search and full transcripts. Then we roll up our sleeves on gold exposure: why futures create rollover and curve headaches, when ETFs and return-stacked funds can be smarter, and how modest, low-cost margin—or leveraging equities instead—can open room for diversifiers like gold and managed futures. The throughline is clarity over complexity: build a portfolio that bends without breaking, whether the dollar dips, inflation flares, or correlations get weird for a while.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who's wrestling with allocation choices. Your questions shape future episodes—send them our way and join the conversation.Support the show

What happens when a teenage metalhead from a quiet Swedish suburb grabs a guitar, jumps on a local bus with his friends—and some of the biggest names in Scandinavian metal—and decides to rewrite the soundtrack of modern metal? On today's episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Mikael Stanne of legendary band Dark Tranquility for a candid, unfiltered look at three-plus decades in the scene, from cassette tape trading and fighting over synth vs. metal in the schoolyard, to accidentally inventing the “Gothenburg Sound” alongside fellow icons At the Gates and In Flames. Mikael shares why forming Dark Tranquility with neighborhood friends was more about escaping the ordinary than chasing fame, how those infamous bus rides into Gothenburg were basically a rolling summit of musical minds, and what it was really like to win a Swedish Grammy during the chaos of 2020 (spoiler: he had to text the band to tell them they'd won). Plus, hear how the band's 13th album, “End Time Signal,” came out of major lineup changes and a band-wide leap into the unknown. Whether you're a die-hard metal fan or just fascinated by artists who never stopped pushing forward, you'll want to catch every minute of this episode.

EP. 234: Grab my FREE 4 Part Video Series: GLP1s Uncovered: https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered In this episode, I'm opening up about something deeply personal. Over the past several months, I've been on a massive life purge, physically, emotionally, and even metabolically. I'll walk you through the tools, research, and mindset shifts that helped me clear out years of clutter, lower my pain, and even lose an inch off my waist just by letting go. I share how overwhelm builds up over time, how I finally stepped away from clinical practice, and why releasing what no longer serves you is one of the most powerful health moves you can make. If you've been feeling stuck, burned out, or buried under “stuff,” this one's for you.

He has been the organist at Saint-Esprit in Paris since 2005, but his latest album, Brace for Impact, throws tradition out the window. Recorded on a massive organ in Düsseldorf with guitarist Stephen O'Malley, this music draws on everything from experimental music pioneer Xenakis to heavy metal and more.Hampus takes us through this remarkable project, sharing how a Swedish metalhead became one of the most adventurous voices in contemporary organ music.If you enjoyed this episode, check out our discussion with Terence Hannum from earlier this year, or our 2024 interview with Hainbach, or even 2023's with Brandon Seabrook, all available on spotlightonpodcast.com.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Hampus Lindwall's new album Brace for Impact)–Dig DeeperVisit Hampus Lindwall at hampuslindwall.com and follow him on Instagram and BlueskyPurchase Hampus Lindwall's Brace for Impact from Ideologic Organ, Bandcamp, or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceDig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Listen here you little twerps! We're gonna getcha with this one. Elena and Sam are gonna show you no mercy as they discuss Wes Craven's first feature film: The Last House on the Left. That's right, we're inaugurating the Halloween season here in this quiet little spot, and no one's gonna hear you scream for mercy. Jeeze, gotta get out of this voice - uh, hey! This is a fun episode! We swear. It won't be too disturbing at all. And only tastefully exploitative as we get into the semiotics of early slasher/revenge movies. Topics include: Tarot the Musical, whether Last House even counts as a horror film, and if early Swedish is similar to modern Swedish (spoiler: we didn't actually look it up so we still don't know).

We're also sharing resources and ways you can stay informed, help communities of immigrants, and get involved in whatever way possible.

Sören “Sulo” Karlsson is mostly known as the frontman of the Swedish boogie rockers, The Diamond Dogs. But he's also known for being the singer of the UK supergroup, The Crunch, featuring members from The Clash, Sham 69 and Cockney Rejects. Since the early 1990's, Sulo has been carrying the torch for early 70's soulful rock ‘n roll well rooted in British history.Through his career he's worked with artists such as Ian Hunter, Terry Reid, Robert Wyatt, Max Martin, Crystal Gayle, Paul Young, Maria McKee and more.Besides being one of Sweden's most prolific singer/songwriters, he's also an author of a handful of books, including co-writing the autobiography of the former UEFA President, Lennart Johansson, who was one of the most influential leaders of international football, or soccer, as we call it in America. Lennart Johansson was the brains behind the Champions League. He was also responsible for bringing England back into the European cups with his famous words, “England needs Europe and Europe needs England.” I've read Sulo's book, Lennart Johannson: A Mate Among Bigwigs and Trophies, and found it to be a fascinating study of the legendary international soccer leader's life growing up as a poor boy from the outskirts of Stockholm who had the unusual gift to be able to bring people together to work toward fair play in a game that includes everyone. I highly recommend Sulo's terrific book to you.https://wildkingdom.se/artists/sulo/https://www.newhavenpublishingltd.com/soren-sulo-karlsson/

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Sunday, US President Donald Trump was asked by CNN what would happen if the Hamas terror group didn't relinquish power. Trump responded by text, “Complete obliteration!” Be that as it may, as Berman says, the Hamas terror group is treating the current talks in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh as yet another round of negotiations. We learn about who is in the room where it may happen and what Hamas is demanding. Skirmishes are ongoing in Gaza despite a pause in offensive activity by Israeli forces. The IDF is reporting that it carried out a number of airstrikes in response to Hamas attacks yesterday and troops on the ground are carrying out defensive operations. Berman explains what "defensive operations" entail when there are tens of thousands of troops on the ground in the Gaza Strip. And finally, we speak about the large intercepted flotilla and the status of the hundreds of activists that were aboard. We learn that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg will be among more than 70 people of different nationalities to leave Israel on Monday, even as another flotilla is on the horizon this week. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

‘It's very difficult to be private when you're trying to be the best player in the world'Tim Muffett speaks to tennis icon Bjorn Borg about life at the very top of the sport. Born in 1956 in the Swedish capital, Borg's lifelong association with tennis began when his father won a full-size racket at a local table tennis tournament, which he gave to the young Borg.By the age of 14, he had joined the professional tennis circuit, and just a few years later, had won the Italian Open at 17 and the French Open at just 18. Having risen to international prominence in 1975 when he helped Sweden win its first David Cup, Borg became a household name in the years that followed for his distinctive playing style that helped him win Wimbledon five times in a row.At the peak of his playing career, his on-court rivalry with the American John McEnroe became the stuff of legend, with the pair's 1980 Wimbledon final considered by many to be one of the greatest matches ever played. This was later immortalised in a 2017 movie.After unexpectedly retiring in 1983, Borg struggled with life after tennis, battling alcohol and drug abuse. He subsequently returned to the sport in the early 1990s for a couple of years before hanging up his professional tennis racket for good.In this interview, he discusses his journey to the very top of the sport, the challenges of stepping away, and his recent battle with prostate cancer.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Pregnancy pain is common, often dismissed, and rarely easy to manage. At the same time, recent headlines have stirred anxiety by suggesting that acetaminophen (Tylenol) use in pregnancy may be linked to autism. These claims spread quickly online, leaving many parents-to-be with more questions than answers. In this episode of Plugged into Public Health, host Lauren Lavin talks with Dr. Julie Vignato, assistant professor at the University of Iowa College of Nursing and a leading researcher on pain in pregnancy. Dr. Vignato brings both professional expertise and personal insight as a mother, helping us unpack what the science actually says, where misinformation creeps in, and how healthcare providers and public health communicators can share clearer messages. Topics discussed include: -Why pregnancy pain is too often under-treated and misunderstood -What the evidence shows about acetaminophen and NSAIDs during pregnancy -How a large Swedish “sibling study” helps rule out Tylenol as a cause of autism -The role of maternal guilt, stigma, and communication in shaping these conversations -Practical advice for both pregnant people and healthcare providers navigating pain management -How to identify trustworthy evidence and avoid misinformation online Resources mentioned in this episode: -Swedish sibling study on acetaminophen and autism: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2817406 -Cochrane Library – Plain language reviews: https://www.cochrane.org/evidence -Dr. Vignato's study on OTC pain relievers during pregnancy: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2817406 A transcript of this episode will be available here soon.

For Almgren, it was the culmination of a journey from middle-distance prodigy to one of Europe's most versatile runners.He burst onto the scene with a World U20 bronze in the 800m in 2014, followed by a 1:45.59 personal best in 2015 after setting the Swedish U20 record (1:45.65) in 2014.In January 2025, Almgren became the first European to break 27 minutes for 10,000m on the road, clocking 26:53 in Valencia.

Since President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu announced the groundbreaking Peace Proposal for the Israel-Hamas war and, more broadly, the Middle East, speculation as to what it all means is rampant.I caught up with State of Tel Aviv and Beyond regular guest, Lt. Col. (Res.) and Senior FDD Fellow, Jonathan Conricus, to take a hard look at what the 21 (now 20) point plan sets out. Bibi was beaming at the White House when it was announced but it's not all roses for Israel. Even before the announcement, Netanyahu was basically forced to swallow a clump of thorns. His phone call to the Emir of Qatar - during which he read from a prepared script and apologized for having approved an air attack on senior Hamas operatives meeting in Doha on September 9 to discuss a hostage deal - was just the first of many challenges to be faced. We wrote about that moment last week - which caused many politicians to rip into Bibi.But he did it. And Trump seems to have managed the inconceivable, getting Qatar and all significant middle eastern Arab nations to step up and publicly support the plan. It's an extraordinary accomplishment, made possible only because middle eastern nations respect Trump. And that is because they fear him. For more on that read this piece that we dropped last week.Conricus and I go straight to it, getting into what it means for the hostages, Hamas and Israel. Who will secure the Strip and who will govern? Is de-militarization of Gaza realistic? Will Hamas accept the terms of expulsion from the Gaza Strip? How will Israel handle the first big challenge, which is expected to arise when negotiations begin in earnest on Monday in Sharm el Sheikh? It will almost certainly be about the hostages and their immediate release, a condition precedent on which neither Trump nor Bibi are likely to budge.I wanted to get this out today so that you have the benefit of digesting this discussion before negotiations gather momentum tomorrow.Oh. And the other major challenge? Qatar. As a state sponsor of terror and Hamas' main benefactor, Qatar holds a lot of sway in these negotiations; and that may not bode well. We break it all down in under an hour.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes:Map published on social media by President Trump and referred to in the podcast by Jonathan Conricus:Jonathan Conricus is a senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank. He served in the IDF for 24 years, four of them as spokesman during the intense 11 days of the Guardian of the Walls Operation between Israel and Hamas. Now a reserve officer with the rank of Lt.

Greg Jenner is joined in the eighteenth 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. Along the way we take in her involvement in politics, her love of the theatre, and her possible Swedish sweetheart. If you're a fan of radicals and revolutionaries, maligned women from history and royal scandals, you'll love our episode on Marie Antoinette.If you want more from Jen Brister, check out our episodes on Emma of Normandy and Hernán Cortés and Malintzin.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-02-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by explaining how blood pressure treatment guidelines have been corrected back to 140/90 after the problematic 2015 SPRINT study temporarily changed recommendations to 120/80. That study used ideal measurement conditions - five minutes of quiet sitting, perfect cuff sizes, compliant patients - creating unrealistic targets that caused elderly patients to faint and break hips. The Veterans Administration and major cardiology organizations now recommend treating to 140/90, with statins only for LDL above 190 or 12% ten-year cardiovascular risk. An emailer asks about claims linking Tylenol to autism. Dr. Dawn thoroughly debunks this, explaining that Swedish studies of 2.5 million children found no association when controlling for sibling comparisons. She notes autism rates remained flat from 1960-1990 despite widespread Tylenol use, then spiked after DSM-4 in 1994 and DSM-5 in 2013 broadened diagnostic criteria. Recall bias skews studies since mothers of autistic children are asked leading questions about past Tylenol use during pregnancy when fever treatment was medically necessary. She discusses RFK Jr.'s mixed positions, comparing him to Isaac Newton who excelled at physics but believed in astrology. While criticizing vaccine misinformation, Dr. Dawn strongly supports RFK's stance on ultra-processed foods. She describes NIH researcher Kevin Hall's studies showing people consume 500 extra calories daily on ultra-processed diets versus whole foods, even when nutrients are matched. The US produces 15,000 calories per person daily, with the food industry engineered to promote overconsumption through hyper-palatable fat-sugar-salt combinations. A caller asks about Healthcare 4.0 plans for biometric tracking bracelets and digital twins. Dr. Dawn discusses privacy concerns around constant health monitoring and data collection, noting that while early disease detection could be valuable, mandatory participation raises serious civil liberties issues. She acknowledges voluntary research projects like the Million Man Study but emphasizes the importance of consent and protection against unauthorized data access by advertisers or government agencies. An emailer shares research on ultrasound brain stimulation helmets as alternatives to surgical electrode implants. Dr. Dawn explains how 256-element phased ultrasonic arrays can target brain regions like the visual cortex with high precision mechanical perturbation, potentially treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and depression without surgery. The technology remains experimental, requiring MRI guidance, but could become portable and dramatically improve quality of life for neurological conditions currently requiring invasive deep brain stimulation. A caller with adrenal cancer asks about fasting-mimicking diets. Dr. Dawn explains that 14-hour fasting before chemotherapy improves outcomes because healthy cells can downshift metabolism while cancer cells cannot. Cancer cells rely only on glycolysis without mitochondrial function, making them vulnerable during fasting states. She recommends chronotherapy - scheduling treatments during fasting periods - and expresses optimism about new cancer therapies like CAR-T cells and CRISPR technologies. An emailer asks about inulin fiber for fatty liver disease. Dr. Dawn explains how this fiber found in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, and root vegetables stimulates gut bacteria to break down fructose before it reaches the liver, preventing fructose-induced hepatic lipogenesis. Inulin supplementation protects against fatty liver disease, increases antioxidant production, and helps with obesity by reshaping the gut microbiome to better process dietary sugars.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The 47-boat Global Sumud Flotilla is set to reach the Strip this week, potentially over the Jewish holy day, Yom Kippur, which starts tonight. It is carrying over 500 activists, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, as well as parliamentarians and lawyers. Fabian tells what he can us about the IDF’s plans for interception, within the confines of the military censor. On Tuesday, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said that Hamas documents recovered by Israeli troops in Gaza allegedly reveal the terror group’s “direct involvement” in the flotilla, through the group’s foreign arm, the Palestinian Conference for Palestinians, or PCPA. We hear more about the PCPA and how Israel links Hamas to it. A senior Hamas official told the BBC this morning that the terror group will likely reject US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, telling the British network that it “serves Israel’s interests” and “ignores those of the Palestinian people.” Horovitz delves into the Hamas terror group's points of opposition. We hear how Qatar, Egypt and Turkey have urged Hamas to give a positive response to US President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza ceasefire-hostage deal. Horovitz speculates on whose best interests these countries are representing, even as they have signed on to helping rebuild and fill the security vacuum in Gaza as Israel pulls out in the day after the war. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The conversation continues on the eastern Viking diaspora, noting that the power base of the Rus shifted from Novgorod to Kyiv, forming Kievan Rus. Although early rulers had Norsedescent, they assimilated culturally, blending Scandinavian and Slavic elements; Norse names like Ingvar and Helgabecame Igor and Olga. History is flexible, and competing groups interpret this mixed heritage. A major mystery discussed is the Salme ship burials in Estonia (Saaremaa island), dating around 750 AD, prior to Lindisfarne. The high-status dead, likely Swedish men on a diplomatic mission, died violently but were buried carefully with rich goods, including falcons and a king gaming piece in the mouth of a leader.

Then hear from a London Blue Badge guide about what to know — and love — about London's famous underground metro system. And listen in as we explore the grand castles of the Czech Republic.
