The train is never short of passengers, eager to catch sight of Wastelands creatures more miraculous and terrifying than anything they could imagine. But on the train's last journey, something went horribly wrong, though no one seems to remember what exactly happened. Not even Zhang Weiwei, who has spent her life onboard and thought she knew all of the train's secrets.Now, the train is about to embark again, with a new set of passengers. Among them are Marya Petrovna, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist looking for redemption; and Elena, a beguiling stowaway with a powerful connection to the Wastelands itself. Weiwei knows she should report Elena, but she can't help but be drawn to her.

Marathon Mishaps: Stockholm 1912The Stockholm 1912 Olympics provided some of the most bizarre and tragicomical moments in Olympic history, particularly in the marathon event. Two marathoners, Shizo Kanakuri from Japan and Francisco Lázaro from Portugal, had extraordinary and ultimately heartbreaking journeys.Shizo Kanakuri's Marathon MisadventureShizo Kanakuri, a Japanese athlete, had to pay his own way to the Games, enduring a long, arduous journey on the Trans-Siberian Express. His experience was further marred by an unpalatable foreign diet and a bedridden coach suffering from tuberculosis. Despite these challenges, Kanakuri set out to compete on a sweltering Swedish summer's day.Francisco Lázaro's Tragic EndFrancisco Lázaro, a fit and hopeful Portuguese carpenter, faced a tragic end. On the same grueling day, he collapsed during the race and died the following day, possibly due to heat exhaustion or an electrolyte imbalance. His death underscored the harsh conditions and lack of proper medical understanding at the time.The Gentleman's Agreement Gone AwrySouth African marathoners Christian Gitsham and Ken McArthur, running together in the Stockholm marathon, had a gentleman's agreement to stop for water simultaneously. However, McArthur broke the agreement, leaving Gitsham behind and securing the gold medal while Gitsham took silver.Johnny Hayes' Unique CelebrationAt the 1908 London Olympics, American marathoner Johnny Hayes won gold after Italian runner Dorando Pietri was disqualified for receiving assistance. Hayes celebrated his victory in an unusual way – he was carried around the stadium on a table by his teammates, avoiding the traditional medal bite.The Plunge and Rope ClimbingEarly Olympic events included bizarre competitions like the plunge, where athletes dived into a pool and saw how far they could travel without moving their limbs. Rope climbing was another unusual event where competitors shimmied up a rope as quickly as possible. Both events lacked spectator appeal and were eventually discontinued.Cultural and Artistic CompetitionsBetween 1912 and 1948, the Olympics awarded medals for artistic achievements in town planning, sculpture, architecture, music, painting, and literature. Notably, Baron de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, won a gold medal for his poem "Ode to Sport."Oscar Swahn: The Oldest OlympianSwedish shooter Oscar Swahn participated in three consecutive Olympics from 1908 to 1920, winning multiple medals. At 72, he became the oldest medalist in Olympic history, a record that still stands.The First Photo Finish: Los Angeles 1932The 1932 Los Angeles Olympics introduced photo finishes, leading to the first recorded instance of film deciding a race outcome. American sprinters Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe finished neck-and-neck in the 100-meter final. Despite identical times, Tolan was awarded gold based on the film analysis, a decision Metcalfe disputed for the rest of his life.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

In this conversation, Mary Om Rose shares her personal journey of how her darkest moments propelled her forward into her purpose. She describes hitting rock bottom and feeling unsatisfied with her life, contemplating suicide. However, a series of events, including a pregnancy and a dream about Siberia, led her to embark on a transformative journey. She took the Trans-Siberian Express to Siberia, where she attended a gathering of shamans and experienced a profound awakening. This experience shifted her paradigm and opened her up to the possibilities of motherhood and a liberated sexuality.KEY TAKEAWAYIn our darkest moments, there is the greatest potential for growth and transformation.Sometimes hitting rock bottom is necessary to prompt us to reevaluate our lives and make necessary changes.Following our intuition and taking risks can lead us to unexpected and life-changing experiences.Connecting with community and embracing a liberated sexuality can be empowering and transformative.Motherhood and birth can be seen as sacred and transformative experiences.CHAPTERS00:00From Darkest Moments to Purpose03:32The Awakening Power of Pregnancy13:51A Paradigm Shift in Birth, Sexuality, and Spirituality24:53Embracing Motherhood: Taking Responsibility and EmpowermentSupport the Show.Thank you friends for listening to your favourite podcast ORGASMAGIC!

In 1993, I headed off on a crazy adventure, travelling from Hong Kong to Paris via the Trans-Siberian Express.  I spent about 4 months travelling through China, a country which had only opened up to foreign tourists in the late 1970's. By the late 80's the tourism industry was taking off, but there were still restrictions on where you could go and where you could stay, it had to be in foreigner approved accommodation, and what currency you could use. Needless to say, we didn't always stick to the rules, and the locals didn't mind.  There were plenty of areas where foreigners were exactly that – very foreign, very novel. I was travelling with Carol, a beautiful renaissance looking blonde, and the simple act of her buying a watermelon could draw a crowd of a couple of hundred people, all witnessing the transaction with utter fascination.  When it came to buying a ferry ticket in Chongqing to get to Shanghai, being foreign was a nightmare. We would queue – if you could call it that – from early in the morning, only to finally reach the ticket booth and have the operator draw down a shutter to avoid dealing with us. It took 5 mornings, and the offer of English lessons as bribery to get a local to help me buy the tickets.  Finally, we had a second hand berth – there was no first class - on a ferry that would take us down the Yangtze through the Three Gorges. Our room had two wooden planks for beds and a basin with water which looked and smelt like it came straight out of the Yangtze. The only other thing in the room was a rubbish bin, which we stopped using after watching the staff take the bin from our room and empty it straight over the side of the boat into the river.  It was an incredible experience.  It dawned on me this week that I had a better chance of getting a second class ticket on an old ferry in the middle of China in the 90s than some people have of getting across the Cook Strait in New Zealand in 2023.  Normally six ships travel the Strait, but earlier this week there were only two passenger ships operating, one each by providers Bluebridge and Interislander. This inter-island ferry disruption - due to breakdowns, servicing, cyclones, and a busy summer period - has been going on for about a month now, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded on the wrong side of the Strait. This would be inconvenient if it meant your sailing time was delayed by a day, but re-bookings are limited and the wait time can be as long as a month. A month!  As we can all appreciate, it's a big problem if you and your car on one island, and your life and obligations are on another.  KiwiRail has apologised for the stranding of passengers. They assure us they're doing all they can, communicating as well as they can, and refunding as quickly as they can.  But none of these solves the problem of people needing to make alternative arrangements, that are at best inconvenient and for many uncomfortably costly. Some are finding themselves living in their cars on the streets of Picton or Wellington.  Kiwi Rail is on the process of replacing these ships with new ones which are bigger and have more sophisticated technology, which is excellent news. But these new ferries will not be active until 2025. Yip, two years away. The blame is being laid at the feet of the former government for not investing early enough to replace the current ferries. And that's probably fair enough.  But that doesn't give the current management a free pass. If they know their fleet is not up to scratch they have a duty of care to restructure their service to be as reliable as possible.  It may mean scheduling less sailings and more maintenance. It may mean one ship is scheduled less so it can be used to fill in when needed. It may be something else.  None of these options are ideal, especially during the busy summer season, but if you are not going to offer compensation you need to offer a reliable service.  I reckon people would prefer the certainty of a less frequent but reliable service, rather than flipping a coin to see if they'll make it across. It sure feels like they're offering those kind of odds at the moment.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong comes two captivating new novellas surrounding the events of Foul Lady Fortune and following a familiar cast of characters from the These Violent Delights Duet! In A Foul Thing, Roma and Juliette have established themselves as the heads of an underground weapons ring in Zhouzhuang, making a living the way they do best while remaining anonymous in their peaceful, quiet life. But when they hear about several Russian girls showing up dead in nearby towns, they decide to investigate-and ultimately discover that this mystery is much closer to home than they ever imagined. In This Foul Murder, Benedikt and Marshall have been summoned by Roma to find the elusive scientist, Lourens, and bring him to Zhouzhuang. Time is of the essence aboard the week-long Trans-Siberian Express, but when someone is murdered on board, Benedikt and Marshall convince the officer in charge not to stop the train so that they aren't thrown off-schedule. Instead, they pretend that they are investigators and promise they can solve the murder, but as they dig deeper, they realize that the murder might having surprising ties to their own mission...

Welcome aboard ‘The Horror Express' Made in the early 1970s and a regular on British television during the early 1980s and 90s often part of their late-night horror double bills. This film stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, with a guest appearance by Telly Savalas. Based at the turn of the last century Christopher Lee discovers a frozen creature that could prove the missing link theory. But nothing is as it seems, the creature within Lee's packing crate is placed on the Trans-Siberian Express. This journey will be the last for some of its passengers, falling victim to an alien entity whose intentions aren't as friendly as you would hope. A Mind robbing alien, Zombie Cossacks, mysterious murders, and demonic possession all go to form this Spanish/British co production. The film that ‘Hammer' wished it made. So come join me on a journey through the frozen tundra of Siberia with no hope of rescue.

Speaking at the Tourism Export Council of New Zealand annual conference in Nelson on Wednesday, Minister of Tourism Stuart Nash was at it again, probably getting more headlines in international papers than he did here in New Zealand with his vision for New Zealand to be one of the top three aspirational destinations for the “world's most discerning travellers”.  In other words, New Zealand is going to market itself to what Nash calls “high quality” big spenders – or as Nash said in 2020 - wealthy tourist who “flies business class or premium economy, hires a helicopter, does a tour round Franz Josef and then eats at a high-end restaurant”.  I don't have a problem with wealthy people traveling to New Zealand to enjoy our beautiful country. We have amazing luxury accommodation and experiences available, and like all parts of the tourism industry they deserve to thrive.  I am not sold, however, on this being the answer to rebuilding our international tourism industry; an industry that directly and indirectly contributed to about 9.3 percent of GDP before Covid.  We all want a more environmentally conscious and sustainable industry that protects our country from the degradation and overcrowding of our wilderness, pressure on infrastructure, and human waste on the roadside.  But do we need to be exclusive and snobby to get it?  The idea ‘high quality' tourists contributed more to New Zealand's economy than budget backpackers isn't necessarily backed up by the research.  Prof James Higham, a professor of tourism at Otago University, told The Guardian “The trend over recent decades globally has been for tourists to travel further, travel faster, produce more CO2, stay shorter and spend less at the destination.”   The result, he said, was often “very wealthy people destroying the planet in the process of not contributing to destinations as we might have expected or hoped”.  By comparison, budget travellers tend to stay longer. They may not spend the same daily amount, but their cumulative spending over a longer period of time results in their contribution being meaningful too.   Youth tourism, as backpackers are categorised as, provides 25 percent of international tourism revenue, which before Covid was about $1 billion a year.  If we want our tourism industry to recover, we really can't afford to be fussy right now about who we welcome in.  But if we want to transform the tourism industry, Stuart Nash needs to pull back from the headline grabbing elitist comments, and focus more on both the short term issues facing the industry - where to find staff and accommodation for them - and the long term issues of how to achieve a sustainable, regenerative, higher-wage industry.  There's something else that doesn't sit well with me when it comes to bashing the two-minute noodle eating backpacker. Like so many Kiwis, keen to take flight into the big wide world, I too travelled the world on a budget, and I ate a lot of noodles.  For my OE I travelled across land from Hong Kong to Europe via the Trans-Siberian Express. It was a journey filled with extraordinary experiences. It gave me a greater understanding of myself and the world, and led to lifelong friendships that are perhaps my greatest possession today.  Some of these destinations I have returned too, with a little more money in my pocket, and others I still intend to visit again. And I can't wait for my children to head overseas and have the same sorts of experiences I had.  So it seems churlish to discourage overseas visitors the sorts of experiences here that we've enjoyed there, in their countries. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Horror Express - or Pánico en el Transiberiano translated as Panic on the Trans-Siberian, is an English language Spanish science fiction horror film loosely based on the novella Who Goes There? (also a basis for the Thing From Another World, which was in turn was remade as the classic The Thing by John Carpenter.) The film stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, with Alberto de Mendoza, Silvia Tortosa, Julio Peña, George Rigaud and Ángel del Pozo in supporting roles, and Telly Savalas in a guest appearance.In 1906, Professor Sir Alexander Saxton, a renowned British anthropologist, played by Lee, is returning to Europe by the Trans-Siberian Express from Shanghai to Moscow. With him is a crate containing the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid creature that he discovered in a cave in Manchuria. Before the train departs Shanghai, a thief is found dead on the platform. His eyes are completely white, without irises or pupils. Later the humanoid is reanimated, roaming the moving train, leaving bodies with the same opaque, white eyes in it's wake. Autopsies suggest that the brains of the victims are being drained of memories and knowledge. When the humanoid is gunned down by police Inspector Mirov, the threat seems to have been eliminated… But the murders continue.Like all Italian and Spanish films of the period, Horror Express was filmed mostly without sound, with effects and voices dubbed into the film later. Lee, Cushing and Savalas all provided their own voices for the English market, with a certain Roger Delgado providing the voice for Inspector Mirov. According to Director Eugenio Martín, the film was made because a producer obtained a train set from the production of Nicholas and Alexandra. "He came up with the idea of writing a script just so he would be able to use this prop,"Horror Express was filmed in Madrid between 1971 and 1972 and produced on a low budget of $300,000 and released a few months after the topic of our very first podcast episode, Dracula AD 1972.$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

Here's our second conversation with John. We talk about trains (of course!), national stereotypes, and his plans to travel from the UK to Moscow and through Russia.

Learn how a nomadic mindset helps you see where you are going! I was introduced to Anthony Willoughby by Diana Wu David after our podcast interview. She said, “You just must meet Anthony. He will take you on his adventures around the world where people learn to build their trust and their abilities to work together.” So I did! As you will hear, Anthony grew up in Africa, wandered the world, and much like an anthropologist, learned how to observe, listen and learn from different cultures, particularly nomadic tribes. This led him to found the Nomadic School of Business, whose concept of a nomadic mindset helps leaders and their teams achieve clarity, purpose and agility. There's so much to apply to your own teams...enjoy. Do you and your team understand and embrace change and disruption?   Have you created a culture that welcomes change? Can you engage, unite and empower a diverse collection of individuals? If you answered no to some or all of these, you might really benefit from watching and listening to my conversation with Anthony. Your big takeaways are going to come from learning about the power of stepping out of your comfort zone and building real trust with others. You'll hear how Anthony has worked with large organizations, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at the Great Wall of China, as well as small groups, most notably the Maasai in Kenya. But regardless of their size or scope, their interests or challenges, Anthony and his Nomadic School of Business offers a transformative experience for the individuals who immerse themselves in one of his programs. Check out the video of our podcast here: Offering a fresh worldview, a new perspective What is unique about Anthony's approach to corporate team-building is the way he creates learning adventures where leaders can open their minds to each other, building trust and clarity in their organizations. These adventures are built around a team's territory mapping experience and a leadership trust wheel. Together, these two processes enable team members to understand, own and assume greater responsibility for the delivery of critical strategic objectives of their organization.  As I have been to Kenya, and the Great Wall of China, it was easy for me to see the power of these venues to take people away from “the way we always do it” syndrome and open their minds to what “we could do.” No, I have not gone on a nomadic experience with Anthony — yet — but I might indeed do some wandering with him soon. The photos below capture the territory mapping exercise by the Maasai and participants in Anthony's Nomadic School of Business.        What is a nomadic mindset? Recognize and accept that your environment is changing Identify as an agile group that moves toward opportunity Harness the wisdom of your community to make decisions One thought I want to leave you with This New Guinea chief (at left) had an amazing headdress. When Anthony asked him why it had so many feathers, he said, “To give them away." In that moment, Anthony learned that the power of a chief is in giving away his wealth, not accumulating it. Now more than ever, there is so much to learn from other cultures about how to build communities where trust unites us, and where sharing creates benefits beyond what any of us can get on our own. Get to know Anthony Willoughby Raised in Africa and schooled in the UK and the US, Anthony was 22 when he bought a one-way ticket on the Trans-Siberian Express to Japan in search of inspiration, adventure and opportunities. In 1982 he took his first journey to the highlands of Papua New Guinea to stay with the Chimbu Tribe. There, he discovered how important a territory is to a tribe and its leaders, and how a map can provide power and clarity to different cultures and debates. It was during this expedition that he encountered a persistent complainer, which led him to establish his "I Will Not Complain" team-building and leadership development programs in Japan in 1989 and in China in 1992. In the years since, Anthony has developed a visualizing process called “Territory Mapping,” inspired by conversations with tribal chiefs in remote villages in Papua New Guinea and Kenya. This process has been described as a method that " enables you to crash through civilization and see where you are and where you are going with new clarity.” Anthony has ridden paddle steamers down the Nile, was briefly a bullfighter, and has scaled some of the world's biggest peaks, such as China’s 7,546-meter Mount Mustagh Ata, without porters or oxygen. Now based in the UK, he makes regular trips to Africa and Europe, delivering programs and expeditions for individuals, and spreading the word about the Nomadic School of Business. His clients have included AIA, Ogilvy, AXA, Mars, Qatar Airways, IBM, Ferrari, Dyson, London Business School, Chubb,  and Google.

Hannah, is a 34-year-old creator, minimalist and adventurer living in Manchester, UK. Last year she got rid of everything she owned except what would fit in a carry on backpack. She travelled overland from the UK to Bhutan through eighteen countries with her partner Phil to document and discover what makes people happy.  Hannah has scoliosis and deals with chronic pain, although she wears a permanent back brace, this does not stop her from getting out side and hiking on a regular basis. In her early twenties, she was £20,000 in debt and working in a stressful, badly paid job. Her Dad dying suddenly encouraged her to become debt free and focus on doing work with purpose that helps support other people. To date, she has travelled to forty-five different countries.  Hannah is now back in the UK writing about her experiences at betternotstop.com. Hannah shares stories about how to enjoy everyday life through work, friendships, travel, and adventure. Hannah believes experiencing different countries and culture is a way to discover more about ourselves and how to make the world a better place. During this podcast we focus on the expedition the ‘Road to Happiness’ and in Tough Girl Extra coming out on Thursday we focus on the money, how she got into the debt, the mistakes she made and how ultimately she turned it around by getting out of debt and saving £15,000 in a year to pay for the ‘Road to Happiness’ Expedition.

What happiness means to Hannah The correlation between money, time and happiness Being open to new experiences and why she’s much happier now than when she was in her twenties  Taking a short break from the trip and coming back to the UK for 3 weeks Attending an adventure conference and feeling like she wasn’t doing adventure right Why she loves to travel by train  The Trans-Siberian Express and being able to travel on the first train line in Cambodia Arriving in Bhutan after 10 months, crossing the land border from India into Bhutan and the difference The culture shock of being in Bhutan Wearing a back brace and the final stretch of the journey making it up the mountain to visit the Paro Taktsang monastery/‘Tigers Nest’ Monastery.
