Today Razib talks to Ed West, a British journalist and author. He has served as deputy editor of UnHerd and The Catholic Herald, and has written columns for The Spectator and The Daily Telegraph. He runs the Substack newsletter Wrong Side of History, where he explores culture, politics, and the longue durée of Western history. West is the author of books including Small Men on the Wrong Side of History and The Diversity Illusion, as well as popular-history titles such as 1066 and Before All That. A previous podcast guest, West and Razib revisit the topic of British decline three years on. They discuss Britain's economic transformation, from one of the standout economies of Europe a generation ago, to a laggard. Razib probes why the British seem so attached to their welfare state, and why the state has embraced anti-growth policies along with high migration rates. They also discuss the tensions within Britain's large Muslim minority, and the cultural environment that allowed for mass migrant inflows despite their political unpopularity.

We're taking you on a road trip through the future of tourism in Atlantic Canada. You'll hear firsthand from tourism leaders on how the region captivates new generations of travelers while staying true to its maritime roots. We also spotlight the rise of Indigenous-led travel experiences and the wave of creativity from local artisans. From group travel trends to the power of regional collaboration, each story underscores how Atlantic Canada's tourism pros aren't just adapting—they're shaping what meaningful travel looks like for the years ahead. In this episode, you'll hear from these knowledgeable tourism leaders: Molly Vail: https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-vail/ Nancy Petrie: https://www.oakislandresort.ca/ Natalie Kaftan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliekaftan/ Katherine Verreault: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherine-verreault Kelley Keefe: linkedin.com/in/kelley-keefe-07841a1a6 Robert Thomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-thomas-225165161/ Desirea Goodyear: https://www.linkedin.com/in/desirea-goodyear-77294a26b/ Tasha Robitaille: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tasha-robitaille-0a790029/ Wahab Khan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wahab-khan-b809862ab/ Jacob Sheehan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-sheehan-71ba578b/ Jen Silliphant: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-silliphant/ What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Atlantic Canadian tourism leaders are embracing innovation and sustainable growth to shape the future of travel in the region Why collaboration and partnership is essential for delivering impactful guest experiences What trends are emerging in traveler interests, including immersive cultural experiences, wellness tourism, and eco-friendly adventures How the region is adapting to the rising interest from younger travelers, families, and international visitors Why authenticity, local culture, and culinary experiences are setting Atlantic Canada apart as a travel destination How Indigenous tourism and wellness-focused offerings are growing and diversifying the visitor experience What successful creative collaborations look like in practice Innovation Rooted in Community Collaboration Community lies at the heart of Atlantic Canada's tourism ethos. This spirit of partnership, as showcased at the Atlantic Canada Showcase event, has made the region a model for collaborative success. Provinces, cities, and businesses work hand-in-hand to offer amazing visitor experiences and nurture economic growth. Four provinces unite to market the region, develop meaningful partnerships, and promote the Maritimes. These collaborations aren't just behind the scenes—they tangibly widen access for visitors and amplify the region's reach in international markets. Authenticity is the Maritime Edge If there's one word repeated by tourism leaders throughout the episode, it's "authenticity." Atlantic Canada isn't about cookie-cutter vacations; it's about experiences crafted by the local communities. Molly Vail from Discover Halifax highlights how the city blends youthful energy with maritime charm, offering guests handcrafted itineraries that range from vineyards to vibrant nightlife. Natalie Kaftan of Tauck emphasizes the enduring appeal of the Maritimes' local character and color. Visitors are drawn to real people, unique food, and meaningful cultural exchanges, not just passive sightseeing. As travel trends shift worldwide, immersive itineraries and authentic local engagement are increasingly in demand. Whether it's an Acadian caviar tasting in New Brunswick or a craft-making workshop in Mahone Bay, guests are eager for stories and experiences that go beyond the surface. Growing Demand for Indigenous and Wellness Experiences Indigenous-led tourism is gaining extraordinary momentum in Atlantic Canada. Robert Thomas from the Newfoundland and Labrador Indigenous Tourism Association shares how guests now seek engagement with indigenous cultures—culinary experiences, guided hikes with elders, and artistic workshops are just the beginning. Tasha Robitaille's La Belle Cabane healing sanctuary offers a blend of wellness and indigenous knowledge, where visitors can participate in breathwork sessions, explore Métis traditions, and join healing retreats that are as restorative as they are educational. This surge in interest reflects a broader travel trend: visitors crave deeper connection, healing, and learning as much as recreation. Ultimately, Atlantic Canada Showcase itself, described as "intimate," "impactful," and "powerful" by my guests, epitomizes the region's strengths. Small size becomes an advantage, enabling tight-knit partnerships, genuine hospitality, and real dialogue among industry leaders. Whether partnering across cities or developing cross-province itineraries, success is shared and multiplied. We value your thoughts and feedback and would love to hear from you.

It all looked to be on track for an Indian win - until it wasn't. We talk about the quality bowling on show, what made batting so tough, the impact of the injuries to Shubman Gill and Kagiso Rabada, and whether India can bounce back at Guwahati. Plus plenty more!

“I went to a different planet where the spacemen drink coffee and don't cheat on their wives.” Cryptozoologist Christopher Funderburg and parapsychologist Martin Kessler meet in an undisclosed location to perform a secret autopsy on Visitors from Lanulos, "a history book about something that never happened." Ostensibly the chronicle of Woodrow Derenberger, a West Virginian contactee who reported encounters with Indrid Cold and his extraterrestrial buddies from the galaxy of Ganymede, the book would extend apophenic red strings to Jacques Vallee, Carl Higdon, John Keel, Whitley Strieber and Barney & Betty Hill. Are these con artists, crackpots or genuine survivors? Asking questions like these, Chris and Martin examine how a person differentiates between truth and fantasy; how ufology relates to the function of language, engaging with hypotheticals and identifying the turning point for conspiracy theories in American culture. They both want to believe! The Pink Smoke on X:x.com/thepinksmoke Christopher Funderburg on X:x.com/CFunderburg Martin Kessler on X:x.com/MovieKessler

He was born in Ukraine in 1722, one of the many children of a priest. He attended the Ecclesiastical Academy in Kiev, but was disappointed by the worldliness, love of ease and western theological climate that he found there.   After four years he left the school and embarked on a search for a spiritual father and a monastery where he could live in poverty. He eventually found wise spiritual guides in Romania, where many of the Russian monks had fled after Peter the Great's reforms. From there he traveled to the Holy Mountain. Spiritual life was at a low ebb there also, and Plato (the name he had been given as a novice) became a hermit, devoting his days to prayer and reading the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers. After four years, a visiting Elder from Romania tonsured him a monk under the name Paisius, and advised him to live with other monks to avoid the spiritual dangers of taking up the solitary life too soon. A few brethren from Romania arrived, seeking to make him their spiritual father, but as he felt unworthy to take on this task, all of them lived in poverty and mutual obedience. Others joined them from Romania and the Slavic countries, and in time they took up the cenobitic life, with Paisius as their reluctant abbot.   In 1763 the entire community (grown to sixty-five in number) left the Holy Mountain and returned to Romania. They were given a monastery where they adopted the Athonite rule of life. Abbot Paisius introduced the Jesus Prayer and other aspects of hesychasm to the monastic life there: before this time, they had been used mostly by hermits. The services of the Church were conducted fully, with the choirs chanting alternately in Slavonic and Romanian. The monks confessed to their Elder every evening so as not to let the sun go down on their anger, and a brother who held a grudge against another was forbidden to enter the church, or even to say the Lord's Prayer, until he had settled it.   The monastic brotherhood eventually grew to more than a thousand, divided into two monasteries. Visitors and pilgrims came from Russia, Greece and other lands to experience its holy example.   St Paisius had learned Greek while on Mt Athos, and undertook to produce accurate Slavonic translations of the writings of many of the Fathers of the Church. The Greek Philokalia had been published not long before, and St Paisius produced a Slavonic version that was read throughout the Slavic Orthodox world. (This is the Philokalia that the pilgrim carries with him in The Way of a Pilgrim).   The Saint reposed in peace in 1794, one year after the publication of his Slavonic Philokalia. The Synaxarion summarizes his influence: "These translations, and the influence of the Saint through the activity of his disciples in Russia, led to a widespread spiritual renewal, and to the restoration of traditional monastic life there which lasted until the Revolution of 1917."

Before Roswell made UFOs a household name, strange craft were already haunting our skies. In the early 1900s, from the battlefields of World War I to quiet farmlands across the globe, witnesses reported encounters with mysterious airships, glowing discs, and their otherworldly occupants. We'll look at UFO sightings and encounters from 1900 thru 1930 – and there are a lot more than you'd expect.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:18.129 = Show Open00:03:38.205 = UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1900s (Part 1)00:20:30.205 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1900s (Part 2)00:35:17.123 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1910s (Part 1)01:03:56.725 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1910s (Part 2)01:25:33.274 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1920s (Part 1)01:37:49.569 = ***UFOs and Extraterrestrials in the 1920s (Part 2)01:50:41.188 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Photo of Edward Pline UFO: https://weirddarkness.com/Early1900sUFOs, or https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/wp-content/gallery/bestufos/1870-03.jpgMarcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckt2jzd, https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjh86ksd,https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9a8xbhThree Red Objects Sighted From USS Supply, NICAP http://www.nicap.org/040228pacific_dir.htmThe Democrat-Herald newspaper, August 27 1973Saw An Airship, Columbus Republican, August 18, 1906 (page 5)Emery County Progress, September 15 1906The Burlington Free Press, June 3, 1907Our Strange World, Mark Chorvinsky, Fate Magazine, Vol. 45, No. 8, August 1992Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld, Patrick Harpur, ISBN 9780937 663097Modern Mysteries of Britain, Janet Bord and Colin Bord, ISBN 9780586 065297HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, David Webb and Ted BloecherUFOs: The Whole Story, Coral Lorenzen, ASIN B0006CDZPYEarth Lights Revelation: UFOs and Mystery Lightform Phenomena – The Earth's Secret Energy Force, Paul Devereux, ISBN 9780713 722093NTCAT 1910 – 1919 – International Catalog of Entity Reports”, by Peter Rogerson http://intcat.blogspot.com/search/label/1911%20-%201919From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), Richard Hall, ISBN 192895 7013Unexplained!: Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences and Puzzling Physical Phenomena, Jerome Clark, ISBN 9781578 590704The Soviet UFO Files, Paul Stonehill, ISBN 9781858 338583Book of Space Contacts, Timothy Beckley, ISBN 9780938 294054 (page 26-27)UFO!: The Complete Sightings Guide, Peter Brookesmith, ISBN 9780713 725834 (page 31)=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In this episode of VISITORS, UFO researcher Craig Oliver unpacks the Magenta Project. A complex web connecting a 1933 UFO retrieval in Mussolini's Italy to the formation of America's modern intelligence apparatus. Craig, working alongside researcher Michael Arementor have constructed an extensive timeline revealing how this pre-WWII incident may have shaped everything from the OSS to the CIA's creation just two months after Roswell. The discussion traces how Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti first documented the Magenta retrieval in the 1990s, later brought to prominence by David Grusch's testimony. Craig explains how Mussolini's son-in-law, Galeazzo Ciano, managed both the recovered craft and intelligence operations while attempting to keep Italy out of WWII. The conversation weaves together threads involving the Vatican's knowledge of anomalous phenomena, the Knights of Malta's intelligence connections, and figures like Vannevar Bush (distantly related to the Bush political family), who controlled radar development—potentially the first technology capable of downing UFOs. Craig argues that understanding this history matters even for non-believers, as it illuminates how America transformed from a nation with minimal intelligence infrastructure before WWII into today's labyrinthine security state. The through-line connects suppressed free energy research by Tesla and Marconi, the rise of oil-dependent power structures, and the deliberate concealment of exotic technology by those who recognized it as a threat to their control—a pattern of obfuscation that began in 1933 and continues today.

Three seconds to convince them they're in the right place. But here's what I see constantly: homepages organized around what a business wants to say, not what the visitor actually needs to know. And when this happens the visitor can't figure out if they're in the right place, and instead of staying, they leave.In this episode, I'll share a framework for organizing your homepage so visitors quickly decide they're in the right place and know what to do next. I'll cover what needs to be above the fold (the four non-negotiables), the logical flow that tells a story, and the common mistakes that make people bounce.

With less than 50 days remaining of 2025, South East Asia is barrelling towards the end-of-year holiday travel season. And  there's plenty of news to talk about. This week, Gary and Hannah zoom through the region's top travel happenings, with stopovers in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos, plus China and Bahrain. We begin with downbeat news about the Thailand-Cambodia peace process, and the detrimental impact this is having on Cambodia's visitor economy (remember in 2024, Cambodia was the first country in ASEAN to claim it had surpassed its 2019 visitor level). In a packed show, we also deconstruct COMAC's acquisition of a 49% stake in Lao Airlines and AirAsia's plans to establish a Middle East base in Bahrain. Plus, we look in depth at Singapore's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel Levy, which will charge differentiated rates to air travellers to fund the scaling up of SAF for flights to/from Changi Airport - and how other ASEAN countries might respond. Staying in Singapore, we ponder its newly announced SGD1 billion wellness attraction by the bay, while a social media storm greeted plans to beautify downtown Kuala Lumpur. We finish with an insider summary from Gary of Phocuswright's new 2025 South East Asia Travel Market Essentials report.

The recently refurbished and rededicated Hill Cumorah in Manchester, New York, is a historic and sacred site for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles called the reforested and refurbished area “the cradle of the Restoration.” The area was a pivotal place for the instruction of the young Prophet Joseph Smith, as well as the receiving and translation of the ancient gold plates that we now have as the Book of Mormon. In this episode of the Church News podcast, Church News editor Ryan Jensen is joined by Benjamin Pykles, director of historic sites for the Church, and Sam Palfreyman, site manager for the Palmyra area, to explore the sacred significance of Hill Cumorah, the faith-promoting experiences of visiting historic Church sites, and how understanding the early history of the Church can help individuals gain and strengthen their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

TPCCafe Radio Presents Classic Thrillers, Suspense: The Visitor: Digitally Restored by Nicholas Hans Gary

Spooky Series, Episode #4 of 4. Over an eight-month period in 1896-1897, thousands of people across North America reported seeing mysterious ships in the air or lights in the sky. There were over 12,000 newspaper accounts published about the phenomenon in 408 different newspapers in 41 American states and six Canadian provinces. The airships were usually described as oblong, cigar-shaped objects, sometimes with wings that would flap up and down. What was going on that would have inspired so many unidentified flying object sightings? And why did they seem to cluster around an eight month period in 1896-1897? Today, in the last installment of our 2025 spooky series, we are going to dive into this late nineteenth century UFO-sighting phenomenon and perhaps figure out what was going on.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Is Belle Grove Plantation haunted? Many have dared to ask, but few were prepared for the answer. Standing on the banks of the Rappahannock River in Virginia, Belle Grove is a place where time folds in on itself. Once home to generations of families — and touched by both the glory and horror of American history — its halls now whisper with something that refuses to fade. Visitors speak of disembodied voices calling from the stairwell. Shadowy figures glide past windows. Soldiers in blue and gray march across the lawns where they once bled. And then there are the two who appear most often: the Lady in White, forever watching from the balcony, and the young African-American girl in a yellow dress, clutching something unseen, her sorrow echoing through centuries. From SyFy Channel's Ghost Hunters to countless paranormal investigators, no one has walked away from Belle Grove unchanged. Electronic voice phenomena, cold spots, and full-bodied apparitions have all been documented inside its walls — making this historic mansion one of the most haunted sites in America. At Belle Grove Plantation, the past isn't over — it's waiting. #RealGhostStories #TheGraveTalks #BelleGrovePlantation #HauntedVirginia #TrueGhostStory #GhostHunters #CivilWarGhosts #HauntedHistory #PlantationGhosts #LadyInWhite #ParanormalPodcast #SupernaturalEncounters Love real ghost stories?
