If you're working on your Switzerland itinerary and want to go beyond the usual tourist stops, this episode is for you! I'm sharing three destinations I recently visited that completely charmed me, each one offering something a little different, a little quieter, and a lot more local.First up is Savognin, a peaceful alpine village in Parc Ela that's close to the Landwasser Viaduct, a must-see if you love scenic train views or hiking. It's a great place to slow down and enjoy nature.Next, I take you to Lenk Switzerland in the Bernese Oberland. It's one of those Swiss ski towns that's perfect for families, with wide open spaces and a relaxed vibe. I stayed at the beautiful Lenkerhof Gourmet Spa Resort and can't wait to tell you all about it.And finally, we head to Winterthur, just a short train ride from Zürich. It's full of culture, cozy cafes, and some amazing Switzerland museums. I stayed at the lovely Park Hotel Winterthur, which I highly recommend. If you're dreaming of authentic Swiss towns and villages, beautiful landscapes, or relaxing family ski resorts, these spots deserve a place in your Switzerland vacation.Safe travels,Carolyn

BT & Sal go off on the New York Knicks' uninspired 4-3 start under new coach Mike Brown. While Karl-Anthony Towns dropped 33 points in a win over the Wizards, the hosts dismiss the performance, arguing that beating "doormats" like Washington does nothing to change their big-picture concerns about KAT's recklessness and the team's ability to "button up" when it matters. They rip the idea of a championship-aspiring team being in "evaluation mode," calling it an unacceptable excuse. The conversation dives into the fundamental issue of the NBA's reliance on the three-point shot, Mitchell Robinson's early season maintenance days, and whether Brown's new system, which prioritizes spacing and ball movement, can overcome the early "work in progress" struggles and truly maximize Towns' offensive talent.

In this week's episode we focus on New Towns and specifically the government's on-going ambitions to tackle the UK's housing crisis through the creation of a new generation of communities across England. Now Britain's housing crisis is not new — but the scale of the Government's ambition to tackle it is. With a target to deliver 1.5 million homes over the next Parliament, the focus is turning to how this can be achieved in a way that creates thriving, sustainable communities rather than disconnected housing estates.In September the government accepted the findings of the New Towns Taskforce and committed to working on ideas for up to 12 New Towns through the work of the New Towns Unit – with a consultation planned for the Spring. So some progress but lots to do.And to discuss the challenge, I am joined today by Lord Ben Gascoigne, chair of the House of Lords Built Environment Committee who will talk us through the findings of the committee's s latest report, New Towns: Laying the FoundationsThis argues that the UK cannot achieve its new town and housing ambitions without decisive national leadership and long-term commitment from central government. It calls for a dedicated cabinet-level minister and a new national delivery agency to oversee a programme of development corporations that are capable of building this new generation of well-planned, infrastructure-led towns.At the heart of the report lies a message that echoes across decades of British planning history — that success demands vision, coordination, and patience. But in today's fiscal climate and fragmented planning landscape, those qualities are harder than ever to muster.ResourcesNew Towns: Laying the FoundationsHouse of Lords Built Environment CommitteeLord Ben GascoigneNew Towns Taskforce report Sept 25Government response Sept 25

In 1954, photographers Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange traveled to southern Utah to capture life in three Mormon towns — Gunlock, Toquerville and St. George. We'll talk with art historian James Swensen about what their images reveal and how these communities have evolved since then.

BT and Sal go scorched-earth on the Knicks' rough start, debating whether the biggest problem is new head coach "Mike Clown" or perceived soft superstar Karl-Anthony Towns. Sal blasts coach Mike Brown for being a "clown" who's too focused on being loved and not a true taskmaster, leading to a disorganized offense. BT argues the real issue is Towns, calling him a "little puppy" lacking the competitive fire of a true superstar, incapable of leading the team to a championship with his sloppy, soft, and inconsistent play. The hosts agree that the Knicks' title hopes are already dead if Towns remains their second star.

BT and Sal explode over the Knicks' slow start, taking aim at the team's two biggest figures. Sal dubs the new coach "Mike Clown," arguing he lacks the structure of his predecessor, while both hosts unleash on Karl-Anthony Towns, calling him "soft," "slow," and a "puppy" who is incapable of being the championship-level co-star next to Jalen Brunson. They analyze Towns' frustratingly inefficient inside game and offensive fouls, arguing the team should utilize him solely on the perimeter. The discussion also touches on the Knicks' lack of elite shooters and the undeniable buzz surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo—a trade they believe is the only path to a title. Plus, they dive into the Knicks' upcoming seven-game home stretch, which must serve as a pivot point for the team.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique on Karl-Anthony Towns' (KAT) performance, arguing his "soft" and "careless" style is a fatal flaw for the Knicks' championship aspirations. Sal vehemently rejects the idea of "spoon-feeding" a star player and asserts that KAT is an "offensive foul machine" who is simply not an "efficient or effective inside player." BT agrees, labeling Towns a "modern big" who "flails like a baby deer on skates" in the post. They argue the Knicks must maximize his "elite shooting" by keeping him on the perimeter. The hosts conclude that if the talented-but-weak Towns remains emotionally and physically "unengaged," the Knicks' season is doomed—a concern only amplified by the team's apparent lack of offensive structure under new coach "Mike Clown."

The Knicks defense is a problem and it continues to get worse. I've spoken about their 3-point days for the last week now and their transition defense is now on the list of things that must be cleaned up. Their ability to stay consistent was once again tested against the Bucks and they failed that challenge, showing up for only 1 for the 4 quarters and disappearing completely in the 2nd half. But as bad as the defense was, the offense continues to remain a problem as the Knicks can't seem to hit anything once again. However, nothing can beat Karl-Anthony Towns and that disaster we saw from him last night. Sparks are flying in this one as I'm not holding back... AUDIO UP! EYES WIDE OPEN!

This episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast dives deep into one of the most common local SEO questions chiropractors ask me: "Why don't I rank in the town next to mine?" It's a simple question, but the answer isn't always what chiropractors expect. I start by explaining that local SEO is heavily influenced by proximity. Google knows exactly where your practice is located, so if you're in Chesterfield, Missouri, you're naturally going to rank best for "Chesterfield chiropractor." Ranking in a nearby town like Town and Country is possible, but difficult. The biggest factors that make it hard are your location, the density of chiropractors in the area, and how competitive their SEO is. I also talk about the few situations where ranking outside your city is possible. You might be able to do it if there aren't many chiropractors in that other town, if the ones there have poor SEO, or if you're located in a gray metro area where town borders overlap—like being technically outside of St. Louis but still part of the St. Louis metro. Then I shift gears to talk about smarter ways to expand your reach. You don't have to chase unrealistic ranking goals. Instead, you can focus on keywords that naturally extend your visibility—like "sports chiropractor," "chiropractor during pregnancy," or "chiropractor for kids." These kinds of searches reduce your competition because fewer chiropractors optimize for them, and they allow you to reach patients from a wider area. I also mention a tool called Local Falcon, which I use in my free website and SEO reviews. It's a great, affordable option for chiropractors who want to track their own local SEO and see how they're performing across different search areas. To wrap up, I remind chiropractors to go into SEO with realistic expectations. There's no secret trick or quick fix. If someone makes SEO sound easy or overly complicated, that's a red flag. The best strategy is to focus on strong local SEO for the area you're actually in, optimize for the services and terms that make you unique, and let that naturally radiate into surrounding areas.

BT & Sal go off on the Knicks' post-game hype, mocking the "Dudes, Doggs" fanfare and arguing that the excitement over Mike Brown's deep, 11-man rotation is completely "overblown." BT believes a tighter rotation of the best five players is better for the playoffs, questioning the benefit of "laying off the gas" in the regular season. Sal defends Brown's offensive-focused approach and a minutes philosophy that keeps stars like Brunson and Towns fresher, but they both acknowledge the new system hasn't delivered yet, citing Brunson's rough 1-for-9 shooting night. They debate which coach's style—Thibodeau's grit or Brown's new pace—is the real recipe for a Finals run.

BT & Sal dissect the Knicks' home opener win against the Cavaliers, applauding the new commitment to depth and more playmaking from Jalen Brunson off the ball, but asking tough questions about whether new coach Mike Brown's offense truly looks "different" from the past. The hosts are still skeptical of Karl-Anthony Towns' ability to lead a championship contender, prompting a heated debate over whether the Knicks should (and will) make a mid-season push for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They praise the defensive promise of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges and slam Towns' attempt at a "heroic" but ultimately ineffective return from injury. Finally, they dive into the ongoing NBA gambling scandal, debating if the league's only real deterrent is voiding guaranteed contracts.

THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING. We have received some devastating news on Karl-Anthony Towns and his quad injury. Towns has revealed he has a grade 2 quad sprain but the devastating part comes after looking into the sprain. Typically, these sprains hurt massively and should be rested for about 4-6 weeks! If KAT continues to play on this injury, he could possibly miss more time. And while KAT should miss time, we know that Mitchell Robinson will miss time and it sounds like it will be MULTIPLE GAMES... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

BT and Sal clash over the New York Knicks' opening night and season expectations, arguing whether it's "championship or bust" after major offseason moves. BT admits he doesn't believe in new coach Mike Brown to get them over the hump, while Sal worries the team lacks a second superstar and highlights Karl-Anthony Towns' defensive deficiencies and "soft" demeanor as a major postseason liability. They also debate whether the players, specifically Towns and Bridges, were the driving force behind the decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau, and question if the team's core—including Mitchell Robinson and Jalen Brunson—has too many "major liabilities" (defense, shooting, free throws) to actually win an NBA title.

The Knicks are already being forced to change their plans for opening night due to a terrible and quite confusing injury update on Karl-Anthony Towns. Now, NY likely needed to shift their starting unit anyway given that Mitchell Robinson & Josh Hart are both out.

Town clerks and select boards say it is getting harder to run meetings and conduct town business as the vitriolic tone of political polarization continues to ramp up.

Karl-Anthony Towns made some concerning comments recently about his role and the Knicks offense. It wasn't what he said but how he said it and the body language with it.

The Dáil has heard that people in West and North Clare are being "priced out of their own towns" due to the demand for holiday homes. Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney has told the Minister for Housing that locals in Kilkee, Doolin, Quilty, Carrigaholt, Kilbaha, Fanore, Spanish Point, Lahinch and Ballyvaughan are unable to buy homes in their native areas as a result of their popularity as tourist destinations. The average price of a home in Clare in the period of July to September was €285,000 which was unchanged from the same period of last year. Deputy Cooney says if "sustainable rural development", more homes must be built in these communities.

Towns in Wisconsin are unhappy with new solar projects in their communities for two reasons: 1. They voiced their opposition and 2. The municipalities were not (and did not have to be) part of the official process, and a bill from Madison Republicans seeks to remedy the issue.

One of the most common concerns we hear from small-town leaders and residents is the idea of the “brain drain,” or the fear that young people will leave and never return. This is a very valid fear, but there is so much we can do about it! We are so excited to welcome one of our very own, Jaci Praska, who grew up in our small town of Oakes, ND, to talk to us about just how we get to keep people like her!  About Jaci: I attend the University of North Dakota, where I am double-majoring in Accounting and Public Affairs. While attending UND, I also work as a Peer Mentor in the Nistler College of Business Pancratz Center and serve as Vice-President of the UND Sales team, traveling nationwide to compete in sales competitions while learning from industry professionals. I am also a member of UND's Women in Business Club and Marketing Club. I grew up in Oakes, ND, working in my family's local hardware store, where I have seen firsthand the power of small-town community. I have always been deeply involved in our community food pantry, where we strive to serve our community members in need.  In high school, I was honored to represent students of North Dakota as a North Dakota High School Activities Association Distinguished Student and on the North Dakota Association of Student Councils State Board as the Class B representative. I was also involved in volleyball, basketball, track, choir, FFA, Honor Society, and Student Ambassadors giving me the true “Class B” experience!  In this episode, we cover: The tension  young people feel between opportunities in the “big city,” and their roots at home How family businesses and strong community shape future leaders Breaking the stigma around “coming back” to your hometown. Myths and realities about Gen Z in the workplace, especially around work ethic. The importance of celebrating returners and reframing the narrative about North Dakota.

Edition No249 | 28-09-2025 - Today we turn the spotlight squarely on Russia's propaganda machinery — and how its most vicious threats now extend even to Britain's ancient universities. Solovyov has threatened to wipe out the town where I live in an atomic inferno, for no other reason that we refuse to allow Russia to erase Ukraine from the world map. Perhaps he's also upset he can't get to his Italian villas since 2022. So, Russia's foremost propagandist has threatened to wipe out one of the most ancient seats of learning and civilisation, and by extension threaten to kill me. Apart from the bluster and vicious hatred, it's such utterances that show Russia has fallen far from what could be considered civilisation, civilised language and behaviour, and that no regime hack or representative should be allowed in civilised company, at least for the lifetime of the current regime. That ban should also extend to all the minions and enablers of the regime. We'll explore how that fits into a broader pattern: Russia's imperial ambitions, its civilizational decline, and the accelerating slide in global norms under pressure from China, Russia, and their allies — but also how Ukraine and its global backers confront this – showing that resistance, and a reassertion of civilised values is possible – though it comes at a steep price.We begin — shockingly — with Vladimir Solovyov's threat to bomb Oxford and Cambridge.----------This is super important.

Summer heatwaves and missed bin collections have created panic in the press that rat numbers in the UK are increasing. We ask Steve Belmain, Professor of Ecology at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich for the science. This summer Wales became the first country in the UK to ban plastic in wet wipes, with the other nations pledging they will do the same. Over the past few weeks there's been work to remove a giant mound of them, known as ‘Wet Wipe Island' on the Thames in west London. Marnie Chesterton has been to find out how they got there and what damage they could be doing to the river's ecosystem.Professor Sadiah Quereshi, Chair in Modern British History at the University of Manchester explains why we should see the extinction of species as a modern, and often political phenomenon. Her book Vanished: An Unnatural History of Extinction is the second book we're featuring from the shortlist for the 2025 Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize.And Lizzie Gibney, senior physics reporter at Nature brings us a round up of the news causing a stir in science circles this week.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Ella Hubber, Jonathan Blackwell and Clare Salisbury Editor: Ilan Goodman Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth
