Podcasts about Vanuatu

In this episode of Beyond the Torch, hosts Todd Herzog and Leslie Nease welcome Survivor: Vanuatu and Micronesia alum Ami Cusack, joining from New Zealand, for a heartfelt conversation that spans her surprising path onto Survivor as a last-minute alternate, the wild real-life earthquake that shook her Vanuatu season, and the deep bonds she built with her all-women's tribe. Amy opens up about major life changes — her father's passing, her recent divorce, and a whirlwind new romance with a partner from Tahiti. Ami shares reflections on minimalism, living fearlessly, volunteering in her New Zealand community, and her philosophy of saying "yes" to life's adventures, making for an emotional, funny, and inspiring episode centered on personal growth and human connection.Special thanks to our sponsor Big O Brand Skin care.

The latest news from Melanesia.

On July 6, a Chinese submarine fired a nuclear-capable ballistic missile out of the South China Sea. It likely overflew parts of the Philippines before coming down in waters between Tuvalu, Nauru and Solomon Islands, inside the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone. The 14 Pacific Island countries in whose region it landed were almost entirely skipped in Beijing's notifications. A month later, when Pacific Islands Forum foreign ministers met in Fiji, two of its members held up the response text.Kathryn Paik of the Center for Strategic and International Studies joins Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to explain what Beijing was signaling, and why the Pacific Island Countries couldn't answer with one voice. Paik wrote the first-ever U.S. Pacific Partnership Strategy at the National Security Council, following 23 years in the Marine Corps as a helicopter pilot and as a military attaché in Indonesia.In this episode:Why the missile's route mattered more than its range: launched from the South China Sea, overflying a U.S. treaty ally and landing in a declared nuclear-free zone hours after Australia signed its fourth-ever mutual defense treaty with Fiji. Paik's read: the message was that China "can militarily touch you anywhere it wants."How Nauru and Kiribati, two countries that recently switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, frustrated an 18-member consensus bloc. Jim presses the obvious counter — the U.S. and France tested here for decades — and Paik explains what makes this launch different.How sports became a national security instrument in a deal to put Papua New Guinea in Australia's National Rugby League, and the commitment on security ties with Beijing that came attached.Australia's diplomatic surge: mutual defense treaties with PNG and Fiji, plus bespoke security pacts with Tuvalu, Nauru and Vanuatu.Why Kiribati patrols an ocean territory larger than India with a population of roughly 140,000, and what that means for fisheries, the seabed and undersea cables.Paik on why U.S. Pacific policy has always been somebody's side job: "In Australia they have 300 people in their Office of the Pacific. We have about a dozen." The 2025 damage to U.S. standing, including USAID's closure, tariffs and no resident ambassadors across the 14 Pacific Island countries.

Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "Le journal imprévisible", Marc Bourreau consacre sa chronique aux petites îles qui peuplent la planète et qui sont rattrapées par la montée des eaux. Il y a quelques mois, l'Assemblée Générale des Nations Unies se prononçait sur une résolution pour rappeler à l'ordre les États sur leurs obligations climatiques, portée par le Vanuatu, devenu le symbole de ces petites îles menacées par la montée des eaux. Tuvalu, une autre île du Pacifique, fait entendre le message de son ministre des Affaires étrangères, les pieds dans l'eau, lors de la COP26 en 2021, appelant à des mesures alternatives et audacieuses pour assurer son avenir face à la réalité du changement climatique. Les petites îles recèlent un imaginaire riche, entre trésors cachés, monstres légendaires et histoires de conquêtes, mais sont aussi confrontées à l'afflux touristique qui menace leur équilibre. Certaines îles, comme Porquerolles, ont dû mettre en place des quotas de visiteurs pour préserver leur environnement naturel et la tranquillité des habitants. Les îles peuvent également être des refuges, comme pour Jacques Brel qui a choisi de s'exiler sur les îles Marquises pour terminer sa vie, illustrant le rêve de l'homme de trouver son île intérieure.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

"Jetting into Vanuatu across the sapphire sea and the crisp palette of lagoon blues, all the hues of your tropical holiday dreams stretch out to greet you. After taking in the delights of Port Vila, head out of town for some rewarding encounters. For a sweet burst of soft adventure, jaunt to the Mele Cascades, about 15 minutes north of town. It is a wonderland of waterfalls. A twenty minute walk through lush and fragrant native bush leads you to the most sublime 35 metre high waterfall and gin-clear rock pools." "I highly recommend experiencing the unspoilt bliss of Lelepa Island, which looms on the west side of Efate's Havannah Harbour. Day tours are slickly operated by Lelepa islanders, packaging a kaleidoscope of authentic experiences and insights into one magical day." Read Mike's full article.

Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC returns to catch up on a remarkable month in Australian foreign policy. The conversation begins with China's submarine-launched ballistic missile test into the South Pacific. Stephen and Darren ask who Beijing was really signalling, what the test says about China's nuclear deterrent, and why Pacific governments responded much more strongly than they did to China's 2024 launch. They then turn to Australia's rapidly expanding Pacific integration agenda: the Nakamal Agreement with Vanuatu, the new Vuvale Union and Ocean of Peace Alliance with Fiji, and the wider web of Australian agreements across the region. The discussion examines why Fiji and Vanuatu struck such different bargains; whether Australia coerced Vanuatu; the risks of strategic overstretch; and what happens when Canberra eventually has to enforce one of the new agreements' red lines. Darren also offers an alliance-theory puzzle: these treaties appear designed less to deter a clear external threat than to institutionalise alignment and deny rival security access. The episode also covers Taiwan's decision to suspend spot purchases of PNG LNG after Port Moresby moved against Taiwan's representative office; the fragile stabilisation of Australia–China relations and an Australian variation on Kevin Rudd's “managed strategic competition”; and Narendra Modi's visit, including whether India now truly qualifies as a top-tier Australian security partner. Recommendations: Ezra Klein's interviews with Kevin Rudd and Maggie Haberman, and Sam Dalrymple's Shattered Lands. Australia in the World is written, hosted and produced by Darren Lim, with research and audio editing by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Rod Irvine explores the profound promise of the Holy Spirit as the "Advocate" who replaces Christ's physical presence with an even deeper spiritual connection. Reflecting on the initial apprehension the disciples felt at the news of Jesus' departure, the message illuminates how the Spirit of Truth now works both outwardly to convict the world of sin and righteousness and inwardly to guide the faithful into all truth. Through stirring accounts of historical transformations in Vanuatu and modern-day journeys from atheism to faith, the sermon illustrates that no heart is too hard for the Spirit to soften. Rod points to a "silent revival" rising in this generation, calling the church to be alert and expectant of God's mighty move across the nation. Ultimately, the heart of the message serves as an invitation to stop resisting and instead allow the Holy Spirit to refresh our souls, refine our lives, and bring ultimate glory to the name of Jesus.Referenced Scriptures:John 16:2John 16:5-15

"Sculpted with lagoons and islets and flanked by thickly forested emerald hillsides, cascading down to the water, Port Vila's alluring good looks is what screensavers were made for.

Hey there food fans, welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast. Episode 159 brings us Morgan Smith from Kalm with Kava. Morgan is the CEO of Kalm with Kava. He has spent the past decade immersed in the world of kava. What is kava? Listen to find out! It is as much ritual and tradition, as it is beverage and ingredient. His work regularly takes him across the South Pacific, where he works directly with growers in Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Hawaiʻi to learn from local communities, collaborate with farmers, and help preserve traditional kava practices. On the Big Island, he grows kava, taro, and sugarcane, giving him a hand-on perspective that's rooted in the land and the people as much as the business. Morgan teaches me about his journey to finding kava, the historical importance of "canoe crops", and the social value of slowing down. Find all things kava at Kalm With Kava on Facebook or Instagram. Morgan was a delight to talk to and is a stellar human being. FFTC approved! Thanks for listening.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments from around the industry. Carnival Adventure missed its scheduled call at Mystery Island, Vanuatu, on July 11 after a technical issue with the pontoon door closing mechanism delayed departure from Port Vila and Vanuatu's biosecurity rules barred nighttime inter-island travel; Carnival gave guests AU$100 in onboard credit per stateroom and refunded prepaid Mystery Island excursions. Carnival Cruise Line also revived the Destiny name for its 2029 Ace-class flagship, a 230,000-gross-ton, LNG-powered ship from Fincantieri designed to carry more than 8,000 guests, echoing the original 1996 Destiny that was the first cruise ship to top 100,000 gross tons. And Norwegian Cruise Line completed its Vibe Beach Club rollout on Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, bringing the adults-only sun deck to both Jewel-class ships alongside expanded Mandara Spa thermal suites and full Starbucks stores following three-week dry docks in May.

L'Australie et le Vanuatu ont signé un accord stratégique de 500 millions de dollars, une première dans les relations entre les deux pays. Ce partenariat fait de l'Australie le principal partenaire de sécurité privilégié de cet État du Pacifique, même si l'accord est moins ambitieux que ne l'avait initialement souhaité le Premier ministre australien. La Chine a exprimé ses inquiétudes, estimant que cet accord la vise indirectement, et a mis en garde Canberra contre toute tentative de jouer à des « jeux géopolitiques ».Pour plus d'histoires, d'interviews et d'actualités de SBS French, explorez notre collection de podcasts ici >>https://www.sbs.com.au/language/french/fr/collection/featured-podcasts

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has set an ambitious timeline for a comprehensive new treaty with the Solomon Islands, saying he'd like to see it completed by the end of this year. It's part of a diplomatic push across the region, following landmark deals with Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu and Indonesia. This comes amid rising concern over China's role in the region - underscored this week by military drills.
