Fogging is something most motorcycle riders just put up with — cracking the visor, wiping it, trying to manage it on the fly. But it's more than an annoyance; it's a visibility problem, and visibility is safety. What many motorcycle riders don't realize is that there are real solutions, not myths or quick roadside fixes, but tools and technologies that actually work when you plan ahead. In this episode, we look at why fogging happens, why helmets struggle with it, and what you can do to prevent it. You'll hear from Jason Eite of VISIN about a heated visor system based on aerospace technology, and from Clinton Smout about the practical approaches riders use every day. If you ride in weather — and eventually we all do — this is one topic that can make your ride safer and far less stressful.

In an effort to reduce visa overstays and improve immigration compliance, the U.S. Department of State introduced a pilot program requiring visa bonds for certain countries where visa overstays are common. As of 2025, foreign nationals from Malawi and Zambia applying for B-1 (business) or B-2 (tourist) visas may be required to post a refundable bond as part of their visa application process.

In this heartfelt and candid episode, Bart sits down with Zane Kerby, President & CEO of ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors). They explore the soul of travel, the evolution from “travel agents” to “travel advisors,” the emotional impact of seeing the world, and how empathy, kindness, slowing down, and meaningful connection shape a life well lived. Zane shares stories from his 30-year anniversary trip to Colombia, childhood influences, leadership philosophies, and why travel advisors are more vital now than ever. This conversation is human, emotional, and a reminder that travel doesn't just show us the world—it shows us ourselves.Major Takeaways / LearningsTravel Advisors Matter More Than Ever“Travel agent” felt transactional; “travel advisor” reflects guidance, advocacy, and expertise.Travelers want transformation, not transactions.Advisors are the trusted partners who know what most travelers don't.Travel Makes Us More HumanTravel builds empathy and reduces ego.Seeing how others live widens perspective and deepens understanding.Shared vulnerability while traveling brings people together.The Best Memories Are on the RoadZane's most meaningful family moments happened during travel.Being away from routine creates space for deeper conversations and connection.Small moments become lifelong memories.Slowing Down Creates KindnessZane's advice: slow down, listen, and be available to be interrupted.Pausing helps us notice others and step in to help more often.Leadership Rooted in HumilityZane's parents modeled respect, humility, and kindness.Great leadership is about presence, consistency, and treating people well.Hire smart people, pay them fairly, and share the credit.Stick With What MattersZane believes in endurance and commitment.“Most people don't stick with it…but you do.”Memorable Quotes“Most of the important memories I have with my wife and family are from travel.”“Travel makes you less ego-centric and more human.”“The more planes of people we send around the world, the fewer bombs we have to send.”“An advisor works for you. Not for a supplier—for you.”“Slow the heck down.”“Some opportunities to help make you feel human.”“All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”“Most people don't stick with it…but you do.”Why It Matters / How to Use ItFor Travel AdvisorsYour work matters more than ever. You're not booking trips—you're shaping how people see the world and each other. You help create life-changing experiences.For LeadersSlow down. Listen deeply. Treat people well. Presence is powerful. Hire smart, kind people and give credit freely.For EveryoneTravel as much as you can. Say yes more often. Go and see the world—it expands your understanding, deepens your empathy, and enriches your life. And when you're not traveling, practice the same principles: pause, notice, listen, help.Travel is an empathy engine. It makes us better humans. And as Zane reminds us, the world becomes a better place when we choose to go, see, and connect.More about Zane Kerby here: Zane Kerby | LinkedInMore about ASTA here: Home

Yaël Pericard has been to 133 countries Hey now, I am your host, Ric Gazarian. In this episode, I have the pleasure to speak with traveler Yael Pericard. I met Yael briefly at the ETF in Bangkok and follow him on FB, but here is another case of a traveler who I really did not know well. Of course that is no longer the case after our conversation. Yael leads an adventurous life from summiting 7000 meters in Pakistan, to giving back in the Phillipines, to risking it all to explore a remote airstrip in Lesotho (this one is a pretty crazy story). And, you will get to meet him at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Bangkok as he is coming back for the next event in 2026. I would like to thank everyone for their support of Counting Countries, especially my Patrons. You know them, you love them!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From September 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The Sun is our very own well behaved star. It rises and sets in our sky every day and powers and makes possible all life forms on planet Earth. A new appreciation for our Sun is growing as we learn more about other suns and their families of planets. The Trappist-1 system of 7 planets orbits a dim M type red dwarf star about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius. Recently, Dr. Manasvi Lingam and Dr. Abraham Loeb of Harvard University have calculated the likelihood that planets orbiting red dwarf stars are able to possess an atmosphere conducive to life.   - Martian Trojan asteroids have stable orbits around the Sun, leading and trailing the red planet by 60 degrees, where the Sun's and Mars's gravity are balanced. For some time astronomers have considered it unlikely that these asteroids wandered in from the asteroid belt. Recently, Dr. David Polishook of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel led a group of researchers who published a paper in the journal Nature Astronomy which sets forth evidence that a group of 7 Martian Trojan Asteroids were blasted from the Martian surface when a large asteroid impacted the red planet early in the history of the solar system.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

It's Thanksgiving Weekend, usually interpreted as a bountiful time of year when we can all sit back and be thankful. But can many who work for the National Park Service feel thankful in the wake of the staff reductions this year?  This year has been hard on the Park Service, what with the loss of roughly a quarter of the full-time workforce and questions around how the agency has long interpreted history.    But the Park Service has long struggled with its operations. Funding and staffing never seem to have met the needs of the Park Service to manage its far-flung collection of more than 400 units. We're going to explore the funding and staffing issue of the agency today with John Garder, the senior director of budget and appropriations for the National Parks Conservation Association.

Settle in with Unknown Broadcast—your portal to classic OTR chills, old-time radio horror stories, and radio suspense that still breathe in the dark. Listen close… the night is speaking.

On this episode of DEEP TROUBLE… two motorcyclists head to mid-Wales for a weekend of trail riding on the historic Strata Florida. It's November, it's wet, and Strata Florida is known for its water crossings. The plan is simple — get out, ride the lanes, and finally tick this legendary trail off the list. But as you'll hear, conditions in the Welsh hills can change fast… and what starts as a straightforward ride quickly becomes something far more serious.

Join me as I sit down with Jonathan Courtney to host the second annual “Sippy Awards,” the most prestigious award show in tech for the products, games, and tools that shaped 2025. We crown our most-hyped products for 2026, favorite games of the year, best productivity tools, and best products under $100. We also dive into analog tools like Traveler's Notebook, hi-fi systems, Japanese porcelain, and simple clothing uniforms as ways to make everyday life better and de-fragment your brain. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 03:23 – Most Hyped Product of 2026 14:43 – Game of the Year 2025 19:49 – The Way to Innovate 25:41 – Premium Domains 29:56 – Best Productivity Product 42:02 – Favorite Product of 2025 54:10 – Best products under $100. Key Points The Sippy Awards are a playful but serious way for Greg and Jonathan to highlight the products and games that genuinely improved their lives in 2025. They argue that cult classics (Wind Waker, Pinkerton, Kid A, Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring) come from creators who put the audience last and follow their own taste, even at the risk of initial backlash.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 12-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,566 on turnover of $8-billion N-T. NIA to offer e-Gate access to New Zealand passport holders from tomorrow The National Immigration Agency says holders of New Zealand biometric passports will be able to access Taiwan's Automated Immigration Clearance e-Gate system from tomorrow. The move reciprocates New Zealand's decision to grant the same access to Taiwanese travelers on October 13. According to the immigration agency, eligible travelers from New Zealand will be able to use Taiwan's 121 installed e-Gates when entering the country for leisure (休閒), business or study. Travelers must also complete the online Taiwan Arrival Card before entry. The old paper arrival cards were abolished on October 1. Putin says Russia will stop fighting when Ukraine withdraws from Donbas Russian President Vladimir Putin said fighting in Ukraine will cease once the Ukrainian Army withdraws from the territories Moscow claims it now controls. Putin adds that Moscow is open to discussing some elements (要素，部分) of the U.S. plan to end the war in Ukraine, but more talks are needed. Daria Bondarchuk reports from Moscow. Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Men Appearing to Surrender Israeli forces killed a pair of Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank after they appeared to surrender to troops, drawing Palestinian accusations that the men were executed “in cold blood.” The Israeli military said it was investigating. The killings, captured in a pair of videos shown on two Arab TV stations, came as Israel pressed ahead (推進、推動) with its latest offensive in the West Bank, where the army has stepped up its activities over the past two years. Israel says it is cracking down on militants. Palestinians and rights groups accuse Israel of using excessive force and say dozens of unarmed civilians have been killed. Canada Alberta to Build Pacific Coast Oil Pipeline Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the premier of Canada's oil rich province of Alberta have agreed to work toward building a pipeline to the Pacific Coast to diversify the country's oil exports beyond the United States. The memorandum of understanding signed Thursday would also adjust an oil tanker ban off parts of the British Columbia coast if a pipeline comes to fruition (實現，完成). Carney's support for it led to the resignation of one of his cabinet ministers. The minister said in a statement that the pipeline could cross the Great Bear Rainforest and that it would increase the risk of a tanker spill on the coast. But he said he understands why Canada needs to remain united and said he will stay on as a Liberal Member of Parliament. Carney has set a goal for Canada to double its non-U.S. exports in the next decade. That was the I.C.R.T.

The captain of an A380 that experienced an uncontained engine failure, paying air traffic controllers during a shutdown, a $10,000 bonus for those who worked, NTSB preliminary report on UPS Flight 2976, a request for information on a new ATC system, dressing better when flying commercially, and going through airport security without a Real ID. Guest Richard De Crespigny was the captain of Qantas Flight QF32 on November 4, 2010, when one of the plane's Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines experienced an uncontained engine failure. The A380 had just taken off from Singapore. Richard and his crew managed to get everyone home safely, and the story has since become a bit of a legend in Australian flying circles. Richard is a former RAAF pilot, has written books, given keynotes around the world, and now hosts his own podcast on resilience and leadership called FLY! Richard explains that the uncontained engine failure on Qantas Flight QF32 involved the Number 2 engine. This resulted in extensive damage to the aircraft and many system failures. Five pilots were in the cockpit, and they formed a “hive mind,” making hundreds of decisions to stabilize the aircraft, which took two hours. A hundred checklists were actioned in the air, and more when the A380 was back on the ground. The incident was so complex that it has been characterized as “Apollo 13 with passengers.” We learn what was said in the cockpit during the first 30 seconds, and how the cabin crew performed because the flight deck could not communicate with them. In his mind, Richard set up to perform an “Armstrong Spiral” in case all four engines went out when landing the plane. On approach, speed and stall warnings were sounding constantly because the systems could not handle all the damage. Richard explains why he decided not to immediately evacuate the passengers due to the dangers outside. This uncontained engine failure crippled the A380, yet the crew was able to manage the situation and there were no injuries. Richard speaks frequently of “resilience” and how that characteristic worked to their advantage.  QF32 uncontained engine failure. From the FAA Airbus A380-842 report, crediting the ATSB accident report. Since the incident, Richard has published several books: QF32 tells the story of what happened. It was published before the investigators made all the facts public, so Richard had to hold back. However, a new edition will fill in the missing pieces. The newer book Fly! tells the how and the why. Check out: The FLY! Podcast with Richard De Crespigny, available on Apple / Spotify / Omny, or wherever you listen to podcasts. The QF32 book and the FLY! book. Reach Richard at richardd@aeronaut.biz. Aviation News US airline group urges Congress to pay controllers during future shutdowns Trade group Airlines for America (A4A) wants to see air traffic controllers get paid during future government shutdowns. Chris Sununu, A4A President and CEO, said, “This shutdown has demonstrated the serious safety, human and economic consequences of subjecting the aviation sector to this kind of stress and chaos. It must never happen again.” Air Traffic Controllers Say $10,000 Shutdown Bonuses Are Tearing the Workforce Apart – And Jeopardize Safety The Administration wants to give air traffic controllers and TSA screeners $10,000 if they had perfect attendance during the shutdown. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said this would apply to 776 employees. Some controllers are expressing their displeasure with this move. UPS Flight 2976 Crash During Takeoff The NTSB has issued a Preliminary Report [PDF] on the UPS Flight 2967 MD-11F accident November 4, 2025. The airplane, N259UP, was destroyed after it impacted the ground shortly after takeoff from runway 17R at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), Louisville, Kentucky. The 3 crewmembers aboard the airplane and 11 people on the ground were fatally injured. There were 23 others on the ground who were injured. Still images from an airport surveillance video show the left engine and left pylon separation from the left wing. The left pylon aft mount's forward and aft lugs were both found fractured. The fractured and separated upper portions of the forward and aft lugs were found adjacent to runway 17R. The left wing clevis, aft mount spherical bearing, and aft mount attachment hardware were found with a portion of the left wing at the accident site. The spherical bearing outer race had fractured circumferentially. FAA Issues Request for Information on New ATC System The FAA aims to replace the current En Route Automation Modernization system (ERAM) and the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) with a single, unified system, known as the Common Automation Platform (CAP). The Agency's Request For Information [PDF] asks the public to answer a series of questions. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Urges Passengers To Dress Better — But That Won't Fix Today's Inflight Behavior Problems DOT Secretary Sean Duffy tweeted that “Manners don't stop at the gate. Be courteous to your fellow passengers. Say please and thank you to your flight crews. Dress with respect. Lend a hand to those who could use it. It’s time to bring back civility and respect when we travel.” See also: Sean Duffy Wants You To Get Dressed Up When You Fly: “It's Time to Bring Back Civility And Respect When We Travel” No Real ID or passport? The TSA may charge you $18 to go through security May 7, 2025, was the date that Real ID was enforced at TSA checkpoints. Travelers must produce a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, a passport, a Global Entry card, or other approved document. The TSA is now proposing that travelers without one of those approved documents can still pass through airport security checkpoints. However, they can expect to pay an $18 fee for additional screening. The TSA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register: TSA Modernized Alternative Identity Verification User Fee. The fee grants access to secure airport areas for up to 10 days and covers multiple flights. Payment of the fee does not guarantee entry; travelers must successfully authenticate their identity each time, and they may still face additional screening or delays.​ The collected fee is intended to offset government costs for new biometric verification kiosks, customer service improvements, and system updates.​ Hosts this Episode Max Flight, Rob Mark, and our Main(e) Man Micah.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1204: Scout Motors accelerates toward 2027 as test mules and plant prep hit major milestones. Amazon's push into vehicle retail gains real traction with new brands and first-time buyers. And Target rolls out a strict “10-4” greeting rule as retailers fight for customer connection.Show Notes with links:Scout Motors put the Traveler and Terra prototypes on display at the LA Auto Show while accelerating development back home as they aim for a 2026 launch. The test mules are advancing fast, and the South Carolina plant is nearly ready for early builds.Scout will begin building bodies and early vehicles in its Blythewood, S.C. plant by late 2026 as equipment installation continues.Executives are now driving early mules, noting strong dynamics and rapid software integration tied to the Rivian–VW electrical architecture JV.Final production designs closely mirror the LA Auto Show prototypes, with only manufacturability tweaks such as new lighting inserts.VP of Strategy & Brand Ryan Decker: “I drove my first mule a few weeks ago… Super special moment. It's dynamic for a vehicle that has our capability.”Amazon's experiment with car retail is turning into something real, as early buyers and dealers say the platform is already driving fresh traffic and confidence into the process, with Ford, Hyundai and Hertz now listing vehicles on the platform.Dealers say the visibility is unmatched: “Amazon gets a tremendous amount of eyeballs… We expect it to be a powerful tool,” said Brady Schmidt of Puente Hills Ford.Hyundai reports that nearly all Amazon browsers were new to the brand, and 40% became more likely to consider Hyundai after seeing vehicles on the site.Early buyer Steve Picciotti bought an $8 USB cable, a $90 beard trimmer and a $45,000 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. “I'm a pretty religious Amazon shopper.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From August & September 2025. Today's 2 topics: - When it was first spotted by astronomers at Space Watch on Kitt Peak, 2008 GO98 appeared to be one of many outer main belt asteroids moving through the night sky. 9 years later when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard observed it with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon it had a coma and a tail like a comet. Active asteroids like 2008 GO98 have asteroid orbits but sometimes show cometary activity which could be caused by a collision with another object and/or by thermal fracturing and ice sublimation caused by the slight warming they obtain from sunlight.   - 75% of asteroid hunter's discoveries are called C type asteroids. They are dark, have a high abundance of carbon, consist of clay and silicate rocks, and may have a composition which is up to 22% water. Recently Dr. Phillip A. Bland of Curtin University in Australia and Dr. Bryan Travis of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona published an article in the on line journal Science Advances describing their numerical simulations of the evolution of the progenitors of the C type asteroids.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

In 2022, long-distance riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee set out on a world-record attempt to visit all 58 state capitols in Australia and the U.S.—in alphabetical order. But their carefully planned motorcycle trip quickly turned into chaos: mechanical failures, illness, animal strikes, wild weather, even hospitalizations. Despite everything, they kept pushing, driven by grit, humour, and sheer determination to finish what they started. But what they didn't expect was what happened when they finally hit a point where they couldn't push any farther—when they were genuinely stuck. In sharing their situation, they discovered something surprising, something they hadn't planned for at all… and it changed the course of their journey in ways they never saw coming.
