Think about the last time riding your motorcycle when something surprised you on the road or trail and you had to get on the brakes—hard and fast. What did that feel like? Was it unnerving? Did the motorcycle suddenly feel like something you were fighting to control? It doesn't necessarily have to feel that way. Maximum braking is a skill, but there are things to understand about your motorcycle before you even get to practising it. Clinton Smout from Smart Performance Centre takes us through what riders need to know to become more comfortable, confident and capable when they really need to stop.

Their disguise still intact, the Travellers take care of some last-minute business before at last turning their sights on the Brothers of Farbauti!

Hear about travel to El Salvador as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jayne Dear, author of Tales of a Traveller in Central America, about her journey through this small but surprisingly diverse Central American country. Jayne describes El Salvador as a “hidden gem,” with dramatic volcanic scenery, forested highlands, coffee plantations, colorful towns, inexpensive transportation, friendly people, and some of the best-value travel she encountered in Central America. The country has 23 volcanoes, and Jayne says it often seems as though every town has one looming over it. For travelers with one week in El Salvador, Jayne recommends concentrating primarily on the western part of the country, with time in Santa Ana, Lake Coatepeque, the Santa Ana Volcano, the Ruta de las Flores, and San Salvador. Travelers who prefer the beach could substitute a couple of days at El Tunco. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-el-salvador-2/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

New Zealanders travelling to Fiji are being warned of an increased risk of HIV transmission, with the Fiji government declaring the epidemic a national crisis. The New Zealand government website Safetravel says travellers should avoid acitivities that may increase their risk of infection. With the school holidays approaching, the Ministry of Foreign affairs has encouraged all New Zealanders heading overseas to get comprehensive travel insurance. At least 9000 Fijians were living with HIV according to March figures and officials have said high risk drug use is contributing to the rapid rise. Victoria University senior health researcher Sharon McLennan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Dans son premier récit paru aux Éditions Marchialy, le journaliste Hugo Nazarenko Sas retrace avec brio l'histoire rocambolesque d'un vaste réseau de voleurs de cornes de rhinocéros, qui a sévi un temps en Europe et au-delà. Une histoire savoureuse et tragique à la fois. C'est un récit qui commence tel un polar, par une découverte terrifiante au milieu d'un champ de tournesols du Loiret, en France. Là, au beau milieu de ce champ, un agriculteur découvre avec stupeur, au sol, la tête mutilée d'un animal jamais vu dans ces contrées, les deux cornes coupées : une tête de rhinocéros. À partir de là, se déploie une toile et une histoire parfaitement vraie, captivante, qui nous emmène de zoos en petits muséums d'histoire naturelle français, chez des taxidermistes américains aux douanes françaises jusqu'en Irlande, en passant par le Vietnam, les grands parcs nationaux africains ou la Chine.  Et c'est bien cette ampleur internationale, ce réseau hallucinant, progressivement mis à jour par le journaliste français spécialisé dans les crimes environnementaux dans Le Gang des voleurs de Cornes, qui fait le sel et le grain de son livre…  Car il nous révèle ou rappelle des routes insoupçonnées : celles du trafic d'animaux sauvages, quatrième marché illicite le plus lucratif au monde ; un trafic mondialisé et sans scrupules, à l'image de notre monde, qui vient aussi puiser ses racines dans la colonisation et un certain rapport à l'Afrique, perçue comme un terrain de chasse et de prédation.  Au fil de son livre, il nous embarque aussi à la rencontre de la communauté des « Travellers », des nomades indigènes d'Irlande, dont certains membres ont parcouru l'Europe, à partir de 2010, en quête de cornes et de trophées de chasses coloniaux dans les musées ou châteaux d'Europe et constitué ce fameux gang de voleurs. Parce qu'un temps, la corne de rhinocéros, constituée de kératine, comme un ongle, mais très prisée au Vietnam et en Chine, valait plus cher que la cocaïne !  Avec Hugo Nazarenko Sas, voyage aux 4 coins du monde, sur la piste d'un animal mythique, symbole de force et de sagesse, aujourd'hui pourchassé et en danger.    À lire. À voir - Le gang des voleurs de cornes, Hugo Nazarenko Sas. 2026 - Éditions Marchialy - Rhino Dollars, un documentaire édifiant d'Olivia Mokiejewski qui a infiltré la mafia des cornes.

Some opportunities don't wait around forever. Heather Lea's life has been shaped by the ones she chose not to let pass—from adventure and solo travel to motorcycles and a journey that would take her much farther than she ever expected.

So, we're just three weeks away from that all important fourth quarter of the year - and it's a hectic time across the travel landscape, with plenty of talking points to deconstruct. This week, Gary and Hannah discuss the air travel impacts of a major volcanic eruption (with a familiar name) in Indonesia and a State of Emergency in Malaysia caused by wild fire "haze". Plus, we look at how Russian, Chinese and South Korean tourists are fuelling Vietnam's dynamic inbound surge, while Cambodia counts the cost of a dismal year for international arrivals. New visa entry rules come into force next week in Thailand, and we have the latest updates. Plus, we check-out AirAsia's first codeshare agreement with Turkiye's Pegasus Airlines, which potentially offers South East Asian travellers cheaper air routes to Europe. We finish in Thailand, where a group of airlines is teaming up to enable passengers on domestic routes to check-in 10kgs of fresh fruit. Is fruit shopping tourism really a thing?

The Travellers sift through the clues to discover Urshukaan's killer, but virtually everyone has a motive, even Dyna!

Over the past year, we've had the opportunity to meet more and more first-time visitors to Puglia from the States. We've been asking them a simple question: what do you wish you'd known before you arrived that would have made your vacation better? The answers have been remarkably consistent. And many of them are not understood by US-based travel advisors, which doesn't help your expectations either! So, rather than simply telling you what we think you need to know, we've built this episode of the Puglia Podcast around what those travellers told us: the things they wished they'd understood before arriving, the expectations that didn't quite match reality, and the small pieces of local knowledge that would have made their trips easier and, ultimately, better. This is what nobody told them. Access the companion guide by the Puglia Guys here - Nobody Told Us: Puglia for Travellers from the USA.  

This is the conclusion of a 3-part series from June 2, 2026 on real ET contact and long-term experiences.In this final discussion, we go deeper into what these beings are—and what they are not.

With new U.S. tariffs in place on Canadian goods, we'll hear whether travellers in this country are renewing their boycotts to the United States. Recent data suggests those boycotts may have been softening this summer, but tourism professor Wayne Smith has a different view. And with more money being spent in Canada this year, travel writer Robin Esrock tells us some hidden travel gems in this country.

The upcoming English release of Sword World RPG, a Japanese staple originally created by Group SNE in 1989. Mugen Gaming is producing the first official English translation of the 2.5 edition, with a Backerkit campaign scheduled to launch on October 20. This release seeks to bridge Eastern and Western fantasy gaming traditions by introducing the long-running franchise to a global audience.

You can pre-order now for an exclusive enamel pin commerating the release. The Lancer TTRPG is set to receive two official hardcover book releases in March 2027, published by Dark Horse Books in partnership with Massif Press. Operation Fulcrum Dawn will compile the narrative modules Operation Solstice Rain and Operation Winter Scar, while the Lancer Setting Guide Vol. 1 will collect digital supplements including The Long Rim and The Karrakin Trade Baronies.

Magic: The Gathering‘s upcoming Zeta Set, in collaboration with the artist collective MSCHF, challenging the industry practice of selling randomized booster packs at a $20 premium price point. A documentary celebrating the 50-year history of the sci-fi RPG Traveller is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarer. Filmmaker “Tex” is collaborating with original creator Marc Miller to produce this project, which aims to chronicle the game’s evolution and community for a planned 2027 release.

Part 2 of 3. Rowan Bo continues her account of lifelong contact experiences, focusing on repeated nighttime encounters involving black triangular spacecraft and group “transfers.” She describes being taken from familiar environments and finding herself with others in remote locations, fully conscious, before being transported aboard these craft. Over many years, she came to see her role as helping calm and guide others during these events.A central figure in her experiences is what she calls the “Grey Lady,” a being she encountered face-to-face in what she describes as a telepathic or “mind-merge” state. Rather than fear, Rowan emphasizes a powerful sense of overwhelming, non-human love emanating from this being—something she struggled to describe in human terms.She connects her experiences with reports from other experiencers and notes similarities she later found in books and UFO case files, which she sees as a form of corroboration. Rowan also describes receiving intuitive “downloads” in dreams and meditation, which she believes guided her to write her book and explore human potential, including intuition and psychic development.Her overall interpretation is that these encounters are not hostile, but part of a process aimed at human growth—encouraging greater awareness, inner development, and a shift toward a more conscious and connected way of living.Book (U.S. link):The Travellers on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCS98DK7

This is Part 1 of a powerful and controversial presentation from the Vancouver UFO Meetup, featuring experiencer Rowan Bo, joining live from Australia, on June 2, 2026.Rowan shares her account of lifelong contact with non-human intelligences, beginning at the age of eight. She describes repeated nighttime encounters with small, hooded beings who would take her from her room and return her before morning. These early experiences included missing time, physical sensations, and what she believes was the placement of an implant.As an adult, her experiences continued, including a dramatic encounter with tall, human-looking “blonde” beings aboard a craft, where she claims she was invited to interact with their technology. Rowan also discusses UFO sightings witnessed by others, documented reports, and physical marks she associates with these encounters.One of the most controversial aspects of her testimony involves two pregnancies that, according to medical examinations, ended with no fetus present—an experience she later connected to broader patterns reported in UFO literature.This presentation explores her personal timeline, supporting details, and the larger question: what is really happening in the UFO experiencer phenomenon?Book (U.S. link):The Travellers on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCS98DK7

Send us Fan MailWelcome to you heard it hear last where we talk about news, you've already heard.Paizo is in the news again. But this time it sounds like good newshttps://www.enworld.org/threads/paizo-may-finally-get-its-inventory-back-from-bankrupt-diamond.720248/It seems that Paizo and Diamond Comics Distributors have reached an agreement to release millions of dollars of Paizo inventory they have held since January of 2025. Diamond Comics originally intended to sell the stock to pay their bills, but a flurry of legal activity brought that to an end. This agreement is a big deal for Paizo.I attended the Paizo address at GenCon and was very critical of the way it was structured. It was clear to me that Paizo built a wall to avoid having to talk about any of their financial troubles, but after this announcement it is clear that they couldn't because of this legal settlement.Mike, what does this news mean for Paizo going forward?[Kick to Mike]Christina, Will Paizo bounce back right away or will it take some time to get their stride back?[Kick to Christina]Up next is as they say, something completely different, and I think that is pretty cool.https://www.enworld.org/threads/classic-horror-dark-conspiracy-rpg-returns-using-traveller-rules.720279/The classic dark horror urban fantasy game Dark Conspiracy's is back and this time with a different rules system. Dark Conspiracy was originally printed by Games Designer's Workshop in 1991 and the setting was post-apocalyptic where the players were demon hunters facing off against an incursion of monsters in a near future world. The game has had three editions by three different companies, but the new version is being published by Mongoose and will be using the Traveller rules. That might be a first for me. I don't think I have seen the Traveller rules used to play anything other then Sci-Fi. I love Traveller so I think this is pretty cool. I only hope they keep the lifepath system.Mike, What do you make of this?[Kick to Mike]Christina, what about you, does this interest you?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, all the news, you've already heard.

Marc Weitz had never owned a motorcycle, wasn't much for a plan and had three sources pointing toward two different routes. Then he rented a bike in Kabul and set out across Afghanistan toward the Minaret of Jam. Which route would he trust—and how would he know whether he was still on a road at all?

A colorful collection of gamblers embark upon the Butterfly's Gambit, including the Travellers' old friends Bazen Durana and Troitska. As the title suggests, it's not long before a foul murder is done, and the Travellers must solve the case before the jump ends and the culprit escapes.

Ballina Commemoration will remember the Hunger StrikersThis Sunday the national hunger strike commemoration will commence at 2.30pm in Ballina, County Mayo. The starting point is at Bunree Road Industrial Estate F26V243.The event will mark 45 years since the 1981 hunger strike in which ten men died. It will also remember all of those Irish republicans who died on hunger strike and especially the resolve and courage of three Mayo hunger strikers Michael Gaughan (1974), Frank Stagg (1976), and Jack McNeela (1940).Looking back five decades after the commencement of the blanket protest in September 1976 and the two hunger strikes that took place in 1980 and 1981, I remain awed by the tenacity and determination of those who endured five years of brutality, violence, deprivation and abuse in the H-Blocks and Armagh Women's prison before embarking on that most challenging of all personal undertakings – the hunger strike. Irish Traveller Heritage Strategy The Traveller Community has contributed hugely to the preservation of Ireland's native culture particularly our music and song tradition. Christy Moore, among others has always acknowledged and recognised this. In particular, the songs of John Reilly. The late Tom Munnelly did mighty work collecting and recording this aspect of our heritage. Now the Heritage Council has published Ireland's first Traveller Heritage Strategy 2026-2030, setting out a national framework to support Traveller cultural heritage.It is available here: https://www.paveepoint.ie/first-traveller-heritage-strategy/Death of Eithne VallelyA few weeks ago I wrote a piece for this column - The Little Lost Bird and the Blue Butterfly – about an art exhibition in Féile an Phobail by John B Vallely, a renowned artist from Armagh City. His exhibition focussed on the children killed at Wounded Knee by the US army in 1890 and the Israeli genocide in Gaza in which over 20,000 Palestinian children have been murdered. Sadly, Brian's wife Eithne was killed last Friday morning in a road accident. Eithne was a well-known and popular traditional musician and teacher. Along with her husband she founded the Armagh Pipers Club in 1966. She was an outstanding Irish woman. I want to extend my deepest condolences to Brian, to their children, grandchildren and the wider Vallely clan.

This episode is a follow-on to our most listened-to show ever, as Adrian and Jeremy tackle the fallout from the M9 “joyriding” tragedy — and the argument that the online anger is “only because some were travellers”.After a listener sends in a Facebook post claiming the hate is racist, we ask: is this just deflection from what actually happened, or is anti-Traveller abuse genuinely adding fuel to the fire?With calls from Hughie Maughan, Joanne and Chloe (and plenty of rows), we debate sympathy, accountability, TikTok culture, and why the real focus should stay on the innocent family still in hospital.

We spend a lot of time making motorcycle travel easier. More reliable bikes, GPS navigation, online bookings and help that may be only a message or a call away. Jacqui Furneaux has spent years travelling very differently. Her old Royal Enfield has broken down, she's relied on maps and strangers for directions, and she often leaves room for not knowing exactly what happens next. Some of the experiences she values most happened precisely because something didn't go according to plan. So as motorcycle travel becomes safer, easier and more predictable, what are we gaining — and what might we be insulating ourselves from? Are we engineering some of the adventure out of motorcycle travel?

In 2025, he returned. And now, in 2026, the planet is in dire trouble. As a result of Sky's presence, the Earth has been covered in a calyx, a deadly web of foliage which blocks out the sun. It's up to the unearthly traveller and his friends to save the planet - but they might need the help of Sky's own people. The Confluence Arby and Jack are lost in the Juganet. Bex and Kyle take Sky to meet an old friend. Jane Briggs and her grief counsellor go through many weeks of sessions about Roy's death until the Juganet reunites them with the others but six months in Jane's future. But is everything, and everyone, quite what they seem? The Place of Darkness Another trip through the Juganet sees the Briggs family forced to confront their past while Arby and Cerys confront a twisted future. Who or what is the Skygod, and why does it demand tribune? And what is Kyle Brannock wearing on his head? This Far and No Further The Calyx has almost destroyed Earth and Sky is forced to do the one thing he dreads - he brings his own people to the planet to ask for help. But the Travellers have helped Earth in the past and are not very inclined to give this failed world yet another chance.

The five year plan sets out measures to protect and support Traveller culture. Our reporter Sheila Naughton met with some members of the traveller community at the Pavee Point Offices. We also hear from Owen Ward, the convener of the Traveller Heritage Strategy working group, and also by Lisa Shortall from the National Heritage Council.

Loading an adventure motorcycle changes far more than its weight. It affects the bike's balance, suspension, braking, maneuverability and traction—and can make familiar terrain feel completely different. Clinton Smout explains how to pack the bike properly, why weight placement matters, what changes once the motorcycle is loaded and what riders should consider before setting off.

The conversation explores why fringe theories around Jesus remain so compelling, how theology, mythology, and allegory overlap, and why these ideas keep resurfacing in modern culture. Jared explains how the book grew out of a more scholarly project and became a deeper dive into the stranger theories surrounding Christ. The discussion covers the idea of Jesus as an alien, the role of AI in apocalyptic narratives, the influence of the Book of Enoch, the possibility of Jesus traveling through the East, and the argument that many religious stories work as layered allegories rather than literal history. Jared also shares how his own views have shifted over time, from Catholic upbringing to atheism, agnosticism, and a more spiritual perspective shaped by his research. The episode also touches on: Jesus and AI as modern end-times symbolism The tension between scholarship, belief, and conspiracy The role of scripture, Gnostic texts, and non-canonical sources Whether Jesus was a historical figure or a Roman invention The mushroom theory, the Shroud of Turin, and the "three days" motif Flood myths, cataclysms, and parallels across ancient traditions The overlap between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam Travel, sacred places, and spiritual atmosphere around the world Author, Artist, Traveller, Theological Researcher - Jared has self published 12 books, some on the untold mysteries behind the Christian Prophet. https://jaredwoodssavedmylife.com/   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

Motorcycle traveller Andy Scherer was riding alone through a remote part of Mexico when a series of troubling encounters led to armed roadblocks—and his abduction. In this episode of Deep Trouble, Andy and his daughter Leslie share what happened, the decisions he faced and what other motorcycle travellers can learn from the experience.

Why a motorcycle first aid kit should be part of your riding gear — and why the kit itself is only part of being prepared.A motorcycle first aid kit often gets treated like an extra — something for remote trips, cautious riders, or people with medical training. But if riding motorcycles carries risk, then first aid should be part of the preparation. Not just a small pouch of bandages, but a kit that makes sense for motorcycling, the places we ride, and the situations we may come across.

Nearly 50 years after a magazine story planted the dream of crossing Australia by motorcycle, Allan Waldon finally set out to make it happen. Riding unsupported with his mate Adam on two small motorcycles, he faced more than 6,000 kilometres of remote desert, flooded roads, deep gravel, fierce winds and slippery red clay. This is the story of two riders crossing a continent—and one man proving it's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream.
