In 2026, it's time to travel differently. This year's Where to Go list from Afar isn't about the usual suspects—it's about lessening the burden on over-touristed destinations while discovering places that are equally extraordinary. Today, we released our list of 24 emerging regions and overlooked locales that deliver all the magic with none of the crowds. From Bucharest's Belle Époque architecture and lively bar scene to Sado Island's pristine beaches and relaxing onsens, these destinations prove you don't have to sacrifice incredible experiences to travel more responsibly.

Noam Weissman talks with journalist and author Yardena Schwartz about her book Ghosts of a Holy War and how the 1929 Hebron massacre helped ignite the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They trace the century-long thread of the cry “Al-Aqsa is in danger”—how Grand Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini weaponized it in 1929, tied it to his alliance with Nazi Germany, and how those myths continue to fuel violence from the Hebron riots to the Second Intifada to Hamas's “Al-Aqsa Flood.” Along the way, they explore Hebron's sacred place in Jewish history, the trauma of 1929, the rise of the settlement movement, the Jewish underground's plan to bomb the Dome of the Rock, and Baruch Goldstein's 1994 attack. They end in present-day Hebron—H1 and H2—meeting Palestinians and Israelis who still believe a different future is possible. Here is a link to Ghosts of a Holy War, The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict, by Yardena Schwarz. This episode is in memory of Leo M. Bernstein.

Inspired by childhood memories of tying knots with his father—and the phrase “may their soul be bound in the bonds of life”—Rabbi Josh Feigelson unpacks how the ties that connect us to loved ones both tighten and loosen as we confront aging and mortality.

Taxing and redistributing wealth to reduce inequality is an idea popular on the left, and is being pushed by some politicians including Green Party leader Zack Polanski. But it's loathed by others who believe people should be able to hang on to what they have, whether that's earned or inherited.This week we're joined by Frances Howe, co-founder of local collective Bristol Redistro, which rather than a top-down tax asks people who have more money than they need to voluntarily chuck some of it into a pot. This is divided up by a panel of locals and given to grassroots organisations. Its most recent funding round helped groups in Knowle West, St Paul's, Hengrove and Hartcliffe as well as others serving marginalised communities across the city. How does this work, and what difference does it make? Why is it different from giving to charity? And with the cost of living biting, why should people be giving up their wealth in the first place? We get into these questions, and more on this latest episode of Unpacked.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

In this repeat episode, Dominik Dorfmeister unpacks the pitfalls of React's useCallback and useMemo, revealing how these hooks often introduce more complexity than performance gains. He explores the promise of the React Compiler, the practical power of the “latest ref” pattern, and strategies to boost code readability and maintainability at scale. Learn why overusing useEffect and manual memoization can do more harm than good, and how teams can level up their PR reviews and performance practices using tools like the ESLint React Compiler plugin.

Alan Lowe talks with Richard Munson about his book Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist. Munson's book aims to highlight Franklin's often overlooked scientific achievements. He describes Franklin's rise from a penniless runaway to a successful printer whose curiosity fueled his scientific breakthroughs. Franklin's experiments helped define core electrical concepts and led to inventions like the lightning rod, reflecting his Enlightenment commitment to reason and inquiry. His scientific fame later boosted his diplomatic mission in France, where his celebrity status helped secure essential support for American independence.   Episode Highlights (1:18) How Benjamin Franklin's printing success allowed him to pursue science (4:59) The role of Poor Richard's Almanac in Franklin's life (7:27) What was known about electricity before his experiments and how he advanced it   (9:35) Benjamin Franklin's invention of the lightning rod (11:22) What motivated Franklin to be constantly active (16:55) His role in America's future alliance with France (17:45) Why so many biographers have pushed Benjamin Franklin's scientific work to the side (19:40) What Richard Munson is working on now Guest Biography Richard Munson is an award-winning author and longtime leader in environmental and clean-energy innovation. His career spans influential roles in nonprofits, academia, business, and on Capitol Hill, including serving as a director at the Environmental Defense Fund. A prolific writer, Munson explores the intersection of technology, sustainability, and public policy in works such as Tech to Table: 25 Innovators Reimagining Food. His latest book, Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist, examines the scientific curiosity and innovations of one of America's most iconic founders. Munson returns to AMSEcast to share fresh insights into Franklin's legacy and the power of science-driven problem-solving.

This week, we're revisiting one of the most overlooked yet consequential chapters in the Arab–Israeli conflict: the 1929 Hebron Massacre. In just two days, 67 Jews were murdered and an ancient community was destroyed—all sparked by a lie about Jewish plans to take over Al-Aqsa, a false rumor whose fear and fury have echoed for generations. Understanding this story is essential to understanding the region itself. We're re-releasing this episode now because next week, Noam sits down with journalist and author Yardena Schwartz, author of Ghosts of a Holy War, to explore Hebron's past and present, and how the mythology surrounding Al-Aqsa continues to shape the conflict in profound ways.

I share two of my own stories – the rash that kept showing up on the right side of my face, and the colon scare that hit during one of the angriest seasons of my life – and how both matched this framework with borderline uncomfortable precision.If you've ever been told your symptoms are random, mysterious, or “just stress,” this conversation offers a very different lens.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:08:22] Your symptoms are always telling the truth[00:11:04] Dr. Hamer's devastating loss, testicular cancer and the creation of the First Biological Law[00:18:55] What a real conflict shock is and why it's more than just being stressed out[00:25:11] The Five Biological Laws[01:06:29] The arrogance of not respecting, trusting and understanding nature's design[01:18:27] Why Ted Kaczynski's early separation trauma explains his later violent patterns[01:24:15] What happens when territorial anger and identity conflict strike at the same time[01:30:44] Brain layers, hormones, and hierarchy biology[01:44:49] How does our belief impact our physiology and symptoms?[02:02:15] Why doesn't everyone who experiences the same conflict develop symptoms?[02:23:13] Why seizures happen according to German New Medicine[02:37:22] Why do young babies get sick?[02:39:20] Can belief override or amplify the physical effects of harmful or beneficial substances?[02:46:22] Your body is infinitely adaptable, if you're relaxed[02:56:34] Is German New Medicine truly a universal biological law?[03:00:55] What to do when you can't figure out what the conflict was that is causing your symptoms[03:04:30] How to actually resolve your conflicts & why are there some conflicts you might not want to resolve?[03:09:26] When the healing phase would be too intense, surgery is still a good option[03:41:23] How your internal story shapes whether you lean into victimhood or transformation[03:43:29] Similarities between Traditional Chinese Medicine and German New Medicine[03:49:17] What allergies really are[03:59:01] Bringing conflicts into consciousness can offer immediate resolution[04:00:12] Detective work stories of deciphering conflicts and symptoms[04:12:52] Why forcing healing doesn't workResources Mentioned:The Way Forward episode on German New Medicine with Dr. Melissa Sell | Apple or SpotifyDr. Hamer | WebsiteGHK Self Study Bundle | WebsiteUse discount code TWF50 and save $50 off Melissa's course The Bio-Logical Woman starting February 2026.Find more from Dr. Melissa:Dr. Melissa Sell | WebsiteDr. Melissa Sell | YouTubeDr. Melissa Sell | FacebookDr. Melissa Sell | InstagramDr. Melissa Sell | XFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.

This is a very special episode of Unpacked by Afar. This week we hosted Unpacked Live, a—you guessed it—live version of the podcast in partnership with Visit California in Boston, Massachusetts. The event celebrated California's diverse Native communities, and host Aislyn Greene was joined on stage by John Acuna, a Hoopa Valley tribal member and Klamath River kayak guide (listen to his episode), and Christina Lonewolf Martinez, a private chef based in Monterey uniting the worlds of fine-dining and Indigenous ingredients like salmon, seaweed, and acorns (listen to her episode). Because the talk was in Boston, we wanted to acknowledge that Massachusetts is the original land of the Wampanoag, who have called this region home for more than 10,000 years. Angela C. Marcellino, a member of the present-day Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, joined us on stage to share a brief history, and today we're going deeper. Angela is a chef, historian, and author of The True Natives of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Their Food Ways.

In this solo episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein brings on her producers to help unpack the hidden complications that can follow seemingly routine medical procedures. From the lingering effects of breast surgery to the controversial use of nitrous oxide, Dr. Bluestein explores how standard treatments can backfire, especially for patients with EDS, MCAS, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). She also dives into the surprising risks of cervical collars, and why something that feels stabilizing may actually worsen pain over time. If you've ever been told your symptoms “shouldn't be happening,” this episode might finally connect the dots. Takeaways Dr. Bluestein explains how this commonly used sedative can trigger or worsen neurological symptoms in vulnerable patients and why you might want to avoid it. From scar sensitivity to chronic nerve pain, Dr. Bluestein explores the challenges many face but few anticipate. You'll learn when collars are truly helpful and when they might prolong instability, weakness, and pain. This condition affects the nervous system in ways most clinicians miss. Dr. Bluestein breaks down how to recognize early signs and advocate for better care. Dr. Bluestein reveals the disconnect between standard protocols and what EDS/MCAS patients actually experience in the OR and during recovery. Want more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

 This is a very special episode of Unpacked by Afar. Because this week we hosted Unpacked Live, a—you guessed it—live version of the podcast in partnership with Visit California in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2022, Visit California launched Visit Native California, and the goal with the Boston live event was to celebrate California's diverse tribal communities. Unpacked host Aislyn Greene was joined onstage by John Acuna, a member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe in Humboldt County, California, and a river guide with Rios to Rivers and Paddle Tribal Waters. In July, 2025, shortly after the Klamath River was undammed—the largest dam removal project in U.S. history—John helped guide a historic 30-day expedition down the Klamath River, known as the First Descent. On stage, John shared the Klamath River's history and what it was like to spend 30 days kayaking a river that has been so essential to the West Coast Native communities and was for so long diverted and quite literally drained of life. In this episode, we go deeper. John shares his early life, how he found his way back to the water, and the lessons he's learned after spending so many years on the river. He also explains how cultural stewardship, land‑back efforts, and Indigenous fire and river knowledge are reshaping landscapes and communities across Northern California. In this episode, you'll learn How John's childhood and early work as a firefighter led him to river guiding and youth programs. Why the Klamath and Trinity rivers matter to Indigenous food security, culture, and health. What the Klamath dam removals changed — and how quickly salmon and waterways began to recover. How Paddle Tribal Waters and Rios to Rivers use recreation, mentorship, and cultural practice to rebuild connections for Indigenous youth. Practical ways travelers and listeners can support tribal‑led stewardship and community‑based guiding.

Noam sits down in LA with actor, Jewish advocate and fellow podcast host, Jonah Platt, to talk about identity, Israel, Hollywood, and why October 7 turned him into what he calls an “October 8th activist.” Jonah reflects on his Jewish upbringing, the rising fear around Jewish identity, and why he now proudly wears a Magen David. They dig into what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about Jewish stories, why so few celebrities speak up for Israel, and how to navigate tough conversations using Jonah's “Five C's.” Jonah Platt is the host of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt.

In this Israel Open Mic episode, Noam answers two listener questions: What is the Green Line, really? And why does Israel have a President if the Prime Minister holds the power? He breaks down the history behind Israel's 1949 Armistice Line, its role before and after 1967, and why it still shapes debates today. Then he explains the surprisingly limited—but symbolically important—role of Israel's President. Clear, concise, and driven by your questions. Click here for the source used in this episode.

What happens when the body's connective tissue is too flexible — and how does that impact the way we speak, breathe, and swallow? In this episode, we sit down with Stacey Menton MM, MA, CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist who not only treats patients with hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) , but lives with HSD herself. Join us as we break down the hallmark features of hEDS and HSD, why symptoms often go unrecognized, and how clinicians can better support patients who live with “stretchy” tissues but very real limitations. For clinicians, patients, and curious listeners alike, we hope this episode offers a grounded and empathetic look at one of the most frequently misunderstood connective-tissue disorders.

Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores how mindful communication can transform family relationships, even when tensions run high.

The conflict between the Federation and Zeon in Gundam is a hot topic, and Christian Ashley and TJ Blackwell dive right into the thick of it, asking the burning question: whose side are we really on? They explore the Universal Century timeline, unraveling the web of motivations, ideals, and the often murky morality that defines this iconic series. Christian lays out the historical backdrop, highlighting how the struggle for representation and rights fuels the fire of rebellion among the space colonies. Meanwhile, TJ, with his fresh perspective, brings a humorous touch as they banter about the complexities of allegiance in a world where both factions have their share of villains and heroes. They aim to find the good in these polarized sides, while reminding listeners that sometimes, it's all just a giant robot fight dressed up in political drama.In the latest episode of Systematic Geekology, the hosts dive into the complex universe of Gundam's Universal Century, tackling the age-old question: whose side are we really on? With Christian Ashley leading the charge and TJ Blackwell by his side, listeners are treated to a casual yet insightful exploration of the intricacies of the Earth Federation versus the Xeon conflict. The duo playfully banters about their own backgrounds in the Gundam lore, with Christian having a wealth of knowledge while TJ admits to being a bit of a newbie. As they dissect the timeline, listeners are introduced to key figures like Zeon Daikun, the idealist behind the Xeon movement, and the infamous Zabi family, who seize power amidst the chaos. The episode cleverly juxtaposes the political struggles within the Gundam universe with real-world parallels, emphasizing the moral gray areas that exist in both realms. Christian's enthusiasm for the rich narrative history shines through as he explains pivotal events like the One Year War and the rise of mobile suits, all while keeping the conversation light and engaging through witty remarks and humorous exchanges with TJ.

Thirty years after Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, Noam Weissman sits with Journalist Haviv Rettig Gur to unpack what changed on November 4, 1995—and what didn't. Was Oslo doomed, or did Rabin's murder briefly revive it? How did incitement shape the 1990s—and how is Rabin taught (or not) in Israeli schools today? We revisit Rabin the general and statesman, the rise of Netanyahu-era politics, and why Left/Right labels no longer map cleanly onto Israeli life.

Known for his meticulous approach and his evidence-based framework of space, volume, and time, Dr. Esquivel brings clarity to one of dentistry's most challenging frontiers: the anterior aesthetic zone. They begin by examining why restoring a single anterior implant is often considered the ultimate test of restorative mastery. Dr. Esquivel explains that implants behave fundamentally differently from natural roots—they lack the periodontal ligament and its vascular support—making soft tissue far less forgiving. Even slight changes in tissue contour or bone volume can compromise long-term success. He introduces his four cornerstones for implant predictability: luck (biologic variability), three-dimensional positioning, emergence-profile design, and patient maintenance, emphasizing that precision and patient education are inseparable. The conversation then turns to three-dimensional implant positioning and the role of reverse-engineered planning. Dr. Esquivel insists that every implant must begin with the end in mind—by first visualizing where the tooth should be. He details how ideal placement, roughly 4 mm apical to the planned incisal edge and aligned toward the cingulum, forms the foundation for natural emergence and long-term stability. But true success, he notes, depends equally on interdisciplinary collaboration—sometimes requiring orthodontic repositioning or periodontal modification before an implant is ever placed. Dr. Esquivel and Dr. Seibert next tackle the aesthetic challenge of adjacent implants and the pursuit of symmetry. Perfect papillae between centrals are notoriously difficult to maintain, and Dr. Esquivel discusses techniques—from soft-tissue grafting to orthodontic extrusion—to preserve harmony between the pink and the white. He stresses that treatment planning is as much about patient selection and expectation management as it is about surgical technique: "The hardest part isn't the implant—it's finding a patient willing to go through the process." The discussion deepens into the critical role of soft tissue in achieving lasting aesthetics. Dr. Esquivel explains his distinction between margin-preservation therapies (maintaining existing tissue contours) and margin-re-establishment therapies (rebuilding lost dimensions). He makes a compelling case that most anterior implants benefit from connective-tissue grafting, since thicker tissue phenotypes promote margin stability, mask restorative materials, and protect against recession. From there, the episode explores ridge dimensional changes after extraction—why bone and soft-tissue collapse are inevitable without intervention, and how provisional restorations can slow this process. Dr. Esquivel cautions against relying on removable flippers, which may accelerate resorption, and instead advocates for properly designed Essix retainers or fixed provisionals that maintain space without transmitting occlusal pressure. His guiding principle: space, volume, and time—allowing tissue to heal in an environment that supports both biological integrity and aesthetic form. The conversation culminates with an in-depth reflection on the biological and prosthetic purpose of provisionalization. Drawing on insights from Dr. Todd Schoenbaum, Dr. Esquivel reframes the provisional phase not as optional, but as biologically mandatory. The provisional guides tissue healing, allows for gradual adaptation, and provides essential information for the ceramist—ensuring that the final crown replicates the ideal emergence contours established chairside. As Dr. Esquivel puts it, "Dentists should take credit not for the white, but for the pink—the transition zone we've designed and stabilized." By the end of this episode, listeners will gain a detailed understanding of: How to apply Dr. Esquivel's space–volume–time model to aesthetic implant planning The biologic reasoning behind connective-tissue grafting and margin-preservation therapies Why provisionalization is central to both soft-tissue stability and prosthetic accuracy How to communicate healing timelines and realistic expectations to patients Part one of this series is both technically rigorous and refreshingly human—an exploration of how aesthetic implant success lies not in speed or convenience, but in respecting biology, sequencing, and time.
