After nearly four decades of negotiations, sanctions, summits, threats, and backdoor channels, the United States has failed to stop North Korea's nuclear program which now has the capability to strike American cities with weapons of mass destruction. In Fallout: The Inside Story of America's Failure to Disarm North Korea (Yale UP, 2025), Joel S. Wit explains why US efforts to contain North Korea have not worked and gives readers a front-row seat to the policy debates, diplomatic deals, and secret talks between Washington and Pyongyang. Wit, a former State Department official, takes readers to the front lines of nuclear negotiations and recounts how perilously close the United States and North Korea have come, on various occasions, to nuclear confrontation. Based on more than three hundred interviews with officials in Washington, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as with the author's contacts in Pyongyang, this book chronicles how six American presidents have approached the problem of North Korea.Wit points to Barack Obama and Donald Trump as the two presidents most responsible for the failure to halt North Korea's march to build a nuclear arsenal, since it was under their successive tenures that Pyongyang acquired the ability to threaten every city in North America. Wit also offers an unparalleled portrait of Kim Jong Un that refutes his caricature as impulsive and illogical. Like his father and his grandfather, Kim is a ruthless despot but also a canny and informed negotiator determined to secure his dictatorship's future by exploring diplomacy or, failing that, by building a nuclear arsenal. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network. He is also working on his first book which examines the high price that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were willing to pay in order to achieve total victory in World War II. He can be reached at andrew.pace@usm.edu or via his website. Andrew is not an employee of DPAA, he supports DPAA through a partnership.

Min 4: AVATAR 3: FUEGO Y CENIZA (3 estrellas) Avatar 3, dirigida por James Cameron y protagonizada de nuevo por Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang y Kate Winslet, se presenta como el estreno que llevábamos tiempo esperando para sentarnos a analizarlo en Estamos de Cine: un nuevo descenso a Pandora que promete ir más allá del deslumbramiento visual para adentrarse en zonas más incómodas y maduras del universo Avatar. Cameron amplía el mapa emocional y moral de la saga introduciendo nuevas culturas na'vi y un conflicto menos maniqueo, donde la épica convive con la culpa, la pérdida y la idea de que no toda resistencia es pura ni toda tecnología es el enemigo. Sin renunciar a su músculo técnico —pensado una vez más para la experiencia en sala—, Avatar 3 apunta a ser el capítulo que tensiona de verdad el relato, cuestiona a sus propios héroes y obliga al espectador a mirar Pandora no como un paraíso idealizado, sino como un mundo vivo, contradictorio y frágil, en el que cada elección deja cicatrices. Min 18: KEEPER (3 estrellas) Keeper, dirigida por Osgood Perkins y protagonizada por Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk, Abogada Hulka; Orphan Black) y Rossif Sutherland, llega como uno de los títulos de terror más comentados de 2025, y el resultado es un film tan inquietante como polarizador: una experiencia que funciona mejor como estudio de atmósfera y miedo sutil que como narrativa sólida y cohesionada para Estamos de Cine. Min 23: VIDA PRIVADA (3 estrellas) Vida privada (Vie privée), dirigida por Rebecca Zlotowski y protagonizada por Jodie Foster en uno de los papeles más singulares de su carrera (interpretando a la prestigiosa psiquiatra Lilian Steiner), llega a las salas como una de las propuestas francófonas más originales de la temporada navideña. Thriller de investigación con aroma clásico que se enreda deliberadamente con elementos de comedia negra, drama psicológico y reflexión sobre la identidad profesional y personal. Min 26: EL EXTRANERO (3,5 estrellas) El extranjero, la nueva película dirigida por François Ozon y estrenada este viernes, es una adaptación audaz y cinematográfica del clásico existencialista de Albert Camus (L'Étranger), que analizamos en Estamos de Cine como una pieza que inquieta tanto por su fidelidad lírica al texto original como por su reinterpretación de sus temas más controvertidos para el presente. Ozon —conocido por su habilidad para explorar capas psicológicas y sociales en relatos aparentemente sencillos” rehúye una mera traducción literal y, en vez de ello, propone una lectura que enfatiza el carácter sensorial y la experiencia subjetiva del protagonista, Meursault (interpretado por Benjamin Voisin), un hombre cuya indiferencia ante la vida y la muerte se convierte en espejo de un mundo que no sólo no comprende sus emociones, sino que lo condena por su incapacidad para expresar las que se esperan de él. Min 33: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON ALBERTO VÁZQUEZ (DECORADO) Con un flamante Premio Forqué bajo el brazo y con claras opciones de cara al Goya, el director de la película animada "Decorado", Alberto Vázquez nos confiesa por qué el aclamado cortometraje de animación "Padre e hija" ( 2000. Michael Dudok de Wit) es el título que marcó su amor por el cine y su apuesta por la animación para emocionar. Min 36: AGUSTÍN ALMODÓVAR NOS AVANZA LAS FECHAS CLAVE DE "AMARGA NAVIDAD" La conexión entre la productora El Deseo y Estamos de Cine sigue funcionando y, en el último momento, al límite de la hora, nuestra pisano Agustín Almodóvar nos sorprende con un audio en el que nos confirma y concreta algunas de las fechas clave que la productora maneja para el estreno del último y esperado trabajo de Pedro: "Amarga Navidad". Min 38: ESPECIAL BSO "ZOOTRÓPOLIS 2" (3,75 estrellas) La banda sonora de Zootrópolis 2, compuesta por Michael Giacchino (Up, Inside Out, The Batman), es uno de los grandes valores narrativos de la secuela y confirma al compositor como una pieza esencial del ADN emocional de la saga. Giacchino retoma los motivos jazzísticos y urbanos que definían la identidad sonora de la primera película y los expande con mayor sofisticación rítmica y orquestal, acompañando el nuevo tono del relato, más adulto y menos ingenuo, sin perder el espíritu lúdico que caracteriza a Judy Hopps y Nick Wilde.

In een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door blikken Tim de Wit en Arend Jan Boekestijn samen met EU-correspondent Saskia Dekkers terug op een ongekend Europees jaar. Een jaar waarin de Amerikaanse vicepresident verklaarde dat niet Rusland, maar Europa zelf het grootste gevaar vormt. En waarin Trump-gezinde denktanks openlijk plannen presenteerden om de Europese Unie te ontmantelen. Maar het was óók een jaar waarin burgers zelf raketten inzamelden voor Oekraïne, en waarin de EU hard werkt aan meer strategische zelfstandigheid. Alleen: gebeurt dat snel genoeg, als Trump daadwerkelijk van plan is Europa uit elkaar te spelen? Dat, en véél meer, in een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door.

“Life is about risk, so we will always have risk. You can't ski without learning how to fall in the snow, take off your skis, get back on your feet, and put your skis back on. You need to practise that, not only through education, but by doing.” That is one of the takeaways from the first ever Leaders in Finance Risk Event. Live from Amsterdam, host Kees de Wit reflects with three speakers from the event on the key topics and, more importantly, the main lessons of the day. Joining Kees de Wit are Owen Strijland, Managing Director at Protiviti; Carina Kozole, CRO at ING NL; and Daniël Smidts, Managing Director at Corporater. Together, they discuss the questions of the day: how has the risk landscape changed? What has changed in the decision making of a risk manager? And what can technology really bring into the risk function: is it a risk, or can it help? With real examples, such as what happens to your colleagues during a power outage in Spain, and the unexpected side effects of running electricity on diesel, they share insights that lead to one final question: who, or what, is a risk manager today?

Africa's digital transformation continues to accelerate, driven by growing cloud adoption and rising interest in artificial intelligence. Yet many organisations still face challenges in converting these ambitions into measurable business outcomes. According to Cliff de Wit, group chief innovation officer at Accelera Digital Group, the success of AI-driven initiatives depends as much on culture and governance as it does on technology. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+ podcast, De Wit outlines the practical steps leaders can take to reduce organisational friction, strengthen data foundations and enable cloud-led innovation at scale. “Cloud is no longer an IT decision. It is the foundation on which every modern AI strategy is built,” says De Wit. And technical readiness alone is not enough. “The biggest barrier is not the tech, it's whether the organisation is prepared to manage change at the pace AI requires.” In this episode, De Wit discusses: • The concept of organisational drag and how it affects AI progress; ● Approaches to strengthening culture and governance within digital programmes; ● The role of the C-suite in accelerating cloud and AI adoption while demonstrating clear return on investment; ● What an AI-ready data foundation looks like and why it is essential; ● How strong data management practices unlock new sources of business value; and ● Why African organisations are increasingly well positioned to advance rapidly through cloud-first strategies. The discussion provides practical guidance for business and technology leaders seeking a clearer understanding of how cloud, data and culture intersect to enable enterprise-wide AI transformation.

Aston Villa U19 2-2 AZ Alkmaar U19UEFA Youth League Third Round, First LegVenue: Bodymoor HeathDate: Wednesday afternoon Aston Villa U19s and AZ Alkmaar U19s played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Youth League third-round clash, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg in Alkmaar on Tuesday, December 9. Jimmy Shan's Young Lions twice took the lead through Rory Wilson and Bradley Burrowes, but AZ responded each time with goals from Tycho de Wit and Hessel de Wit, snatching a late equalizer in the 87th minute.Shan made four changes to the side that defeated KF Skënderbeu in the previous round, bringing in Burrowes and Calum Moreland at full-back, along with Kadan Young and Ben Broggio in attack alongside Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and Wilson.The match began cautiously, with AZ enjoying more possession and creating early chances. Bendegúz Kovács, who scored four goals in the last round against Lincoln Red Imps, fired over from distance, while Bohdan Budko tested Villa goalkeeper Owen Asemota with a stinging drive.Villa broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Captain Aidan Borland kept an attack alive, finding Jimoh-Aloba whose shot was saved by Nick Homan, allowing Wilson to turn home the rebound—his fifth goal of the competition.AZ leveled seven minutes later when Kovács capitalized on a loose backpass, rounding Asemota and squaring for Tycho de Wit to steer into an empty net, ensuring the sides went into half-time tied.Villa started the second half strongly and regained the lead in the 56th minute. Wilson turned his defender on Young's pass and poked a shot that Homan parried, with Burrowes burying the rebound.The hosts pushed for a third, with Jimoh-Aloba and Borland testing Homan, but AZ rallied. Budko forced another save from Asemota before Hessel de Wit struck a superb first-time effort into the top corner from the edge of the box after Villa surrendered possession deep in their half.Despite Villa's late push in four minutes of added time, no winner emerged, setting up a decisive return leg in the Netherlands as the Villans aim to reach the knockout stages for the second consecutive season.Post-match, Shan expressed mixed emotions, saying: “We're obviously disappointed with the result. I thought the performance warranted a win.” He lamented gifting two goals, taking responsibility for the second due to game management, while praising AZ's individuals and patterns. Shan highlighted Villa's tactical adaptability, outstanding possession play, and chance creation, but noted a lack of ruthlessness in the final third.Looking ahead, with a Birmingham Senior Cup opener against Coventry Sphinx in between, Shan added: “Plenty more work... it gives you an opportunity to reflect and tidy things up and look at where we can do things better – both in and out of possession. It gives us an opportunity with a game in between to continue that momentum, that rhythm.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of What's Next, we sit down with Cliff de Wit, Group Chief Innovation Officer at Accelera Digital Group, to unpack the rapid acceleration of AI and the growing readiness gap facing modern organisations. Cliff reflects on his journey from Microsoft to leading large-scale technology initiatives and now helping businesses across Africa and beyond adapt to a world where AI is reshaping every role, workflow and industry. He explains why many companies struggle to adopt AI effectively, how fear and poor change management hold teams back, and why both users and creators of AI must develop new capabilities quickly. Cliff also breaks down how Accelera Digital Group helps organisations bridge this gap—starting with identifying high-impact problems, modernising data foundations, and then building practical AI solutions that drive measurable value. This conversation is a must-watch for leaders preparing their businesses for the next era of intelligent technology.

Het is woensdag 26 november! Tina heeft het laatste medianieuws en de kijkcijfers. Ze begint over de bezuinigingen bij de NPO. Welke programma's verdwijnen er en hoe erg is dat? De STER komt kort na Sinterklaas met een speciaal kerstreclameblok én zappen mensen speciaal voor Pauw & de Wit naar NPO1?

Waardeer je onze video's? Steun dan Café Weltschmerz, het podium voor het vrije woord: https://www.cafeweltschmerz.nl/doneren/Wij gingen voor onze podcastserie in gesprek met journalist Daan de Wit over red light therapy, kundalini energie, het ideale huis en over Daan zelf natuurlijk.Daan de Wit is een Nederlandse onderzoeksjournalist en auteur die diep graaft in geopolitiek, media en verborgen machtsstructuren om de waarheid achter de schermen bloot te leggen.Hij is daarom een veel geziene gast bij programma's als Lighthouse TV en Blckbx. Ook was hij te zien bij Vibestalk van Tim Douwsma en ging hij in gesprek met Marlies Dekkers bij De Nieuwe Wereld.Ondanks dat we Daan al diverse keren gesproken hadden, bleef er toch iets mysterieus' aan deze man. Tijdens dit gesprek hadden wij allebei het gevoel dat wij de ‘echte' Daan hebben leren kennen en ontdekten een kant van hem die wij nog niet kenden. Wij zijn benieuwd of jij dat ook zo ervaart.Door de jaren heen schreef Daan verschillende boeken over gezondheid, zoals 'De Cholesterolmythe', 'Weet wat je Eet' en 'Prikken Ja of Nee'. Ook schreef hij het boek 'De volgende oorlog' over de voorbereidingen van de oorlog op Iran.Een veelzijdig man dus. Wat resulteerde in een boeiend gesprek over gezondheid, zijn persoonlijke leven, kundalini, rood licht en het ideale huis.---Deze video is geproduceerd door Café Weltschmerz.

I guess youre right. —and I'm tagging Cartman ! STAN Are you serious? Oh shit, this is social suicide. …did I ever explain this storyline? …I don't know, did i? I'd gotten so focused on this impending doom looming over me with this whole lawsuit that I'd forgotten entire worlds and whole documents. Even more terrifying, was the sudden quiet and the onset guilt that came over me for getting distracted. But I couldn't remove myself from it entirely—- it seemed to have ruined everything. It wasn't just motorcycle noises, it was like a nervousness and angst twisting in my stomach for months and months, until finally, as the court dates started approaching, it was peaceful, or rather, normal, all of a sudden. It couldn't be peaceful because now that the extreme noise was gone, I knew it had been planted all long— but what was the purpose? I'd lost two years not knowing, and though there were albums, they were never what I wanted. Now I was sorting through the documents of the show like it was the rubble of a decimated building— completely demolished, and I hadn't the slightest clue the contexts or the storylines anymore. It was pain and suffering, but not in the legal context. It was a creative disaster— I hadn't any idea in the slightest where I'd left my audience before I was forced to abandon them. But I was forced to choose, at times, between soap and toilet paper, or eventually, food, and water— or a phone. Eventually, this too became a pattern of the impossible— trying my hardest to do what I thought had been my purpose, but for far, being so endlessly sabotaged, even ridiculed and humiliated, and still, I couldn't understand why. I was tired— and somehow, even though I'd wanted to be left alone, I was the target. Worse was that I assumed it to be bigger than I thought and completely out of control— I thought immediately back to how my best friend from middle school had been attacked, and how she was made to think that it was me…to the point that she'd become obsessive about it to call my mom over it. And as far as the court was concerned, to the wrong ears or wrong eyes, anything I'd published in the festival project could look troublesome, like the ramblings of a mad mad, or schizo, or uncontrolled obsessive thoughts— because the biggest secrets of all, the things that tied together these fictional worlds and plots, were my own real life experience. The inability in a court of law to detail the podcast, which had started as meltdown some would call grandiose over an almost long forgotten rockstar and a porn model — and the entries into the festival project that followed, which included high concepts, off-kilter comedy, politics, and even fringed on social justice. Nothing I ever would have wanted and especially over money, but the lawsuit wasn't about money at all. In fact, at any moment I would have chosen to die and have it all stop if it weren't for my very young son being left alone. Though recently the dread had overcome with a sense of unbearable loss and agony, encrypted with suicidal thoughts and wants, reeling for human touch, the overbearing factor seemed to be that if I killed myself, I was giving someone what they wanted. I was really much too tired to go on, but leaving behind the world in entirety, in my very own way of beliefs wasn't just “shitutting it off”, it was starting it over. Understandably and undeniably immortal in its nature, the instances of God I had left spoke with a reminiscence of being born again, and having to remember which is it I'd wanted to start off. It was an unachievable overload of chaos and disruption, a level of corruption that spoke to something so dark and sinister it seemed biblical — then, again, I tried to wrap my mind around a way to rebuild a positive world from hope and thought, or manifest reality, but this is the very experience I'd felt was intended all along. The motorcycles weren't merely meant to destroy my career, or my will power, or force— they were, but also they were made to play upon my most valuable asset, the power of thought, to make it impossible to become something other than what was wanted; to use my own mind against itself and destroy my way of thought by using vibrations that could not be shut out, or stopped— they followed me to the sound collective, to Shakespeare in the park, the bank, the doctors office— it was as if they knew and understood my very thoughts, my process. It was of nothing at all to corrupt every single body and brain who would surround me or come close— by using the power that seemed supernatural enough, but indeed were powered by money, and technology. Perhaps, in this essence, I thought, was the purest display of defective intention itself; the mere thought that this indeed was rather Good Vs. Evil or God and The Devil would easily be written off as a diseased way of thought. The social world and constructs had been built around being open minded to a system of psychology that was intrinsically rather corrupt. I knew this could only be fought with what I knew, and what I could draw from as logic. I didn't want to go to court because I knew the people I would be fighting were liars, and well trained psychological masters of manipulation, well hidden terrorists dressed as public servants and systematic corrupters all for simple profit margins, to whom I was not so much a person or a mother, or a daughter, but a number. Because I was poor, and had once or four times chosen to love the wrong person in an unorthodox and uncontrollable form of torture, dismissing each and every social construct or physiology that was by the book, by embracing that there was a reason for change I quickly became quite the antagonist of sorts and hopefully not some sort of martyr —for the kind of people that had money and property, and perhaps even socially constructed circles to camoflage their own self doubt and hatred, but absolutely also had no morals. –Death of a Superstar DJ If I lose my mind At least I know I'm right on time This time— I meant that, I had it bad this time MCBADBAT I had it bad this time, And the last.

To the tune of Ten by ten by ten I will never be lover, nor friend in the end. {Enter The Multiverse] DRAKE concentrates heavily on a very long , seemingly very angry message— a frowning face plastered as he writes that is so noteworthy, it catches the attention of many a passerby— still this focus unwatered, as he bashes heavily away at the text message with the thumbs of fury for over 30 minutes while sitting at a booth in a well-loved pancake restaurant. As a tall stack of pancakes is served before him, and he, still unbreaking this angry texting streak or eye contact with his phone sits before them, history is made in what internet culture has now deemed as “the most meme worthy face in history” The world wonders what he could possibly be writing— and more importantly—-who he could be texting. Tears come to his eyes but do not fall as he raises his thumb with reserve, to finally press [RETURN.] CUT TO: SUNNI BLU receives a text amidst a wild party. Almost without so much as a reaction, SUNNI BLU pings the message to a projector and cuts off the lights, and music. A VERY LONG, ANGRY TEXT is projected on the wall.

This could be the basis of a lot of lawsuits. So now I have your tears and agony A wilted throne and wand Which which would grant a wish of comedy, And therefore ever after, Not pain and guilt, but laughter So heavy is the hat that acts as crown, And so foolish is the King to think ‘imself as not one, Creaks the crow and also of the feathered guilt that follows, I Kept and bashful, wishing not the show as throne but sorrow, Kept to wick and wake and bones to shatter from tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Do you fear us? …do you wish to be feared? What of us? I seek to cause the wish that stands as though you may as granted. So shallow, fair child. And brother and my son also. Gross! Stop. You are weird! Dude, you are fucked. In the withdraw, my shadows and darkness Are there always, never resting Stories and gathered images, Visions of betrayal and archaic wants. In time, I've abandoned them all and betraying that which I've lost, For I know, and not ponder on That I shall never know love, As all standing tal over me Have eyes; And all I want Knows not what hides under my ugly. Alright. I followed your spiral, downward, and down wind and down wood, Into a place where I also aspired to show your mark Upon my rotted corpse or coarse crossifix; Sure worded and down trodden. Now, worse, I'm also sworn To mourn all my own losses, Kind folk. Kind hearted and now my eyes also sudden to wander— And there goes my miles and triumphs And morals and war songs, And sure, swallowed the barrel of a gun But also departed with honor, I tell I. Glimpses of wither and winter and whittling pain, And I slither my back to the center of All I am, in this, and shadows, Fairtails, And grains of rice and sand to twist away Into the rain as I lay dying. What a fortunate! Don't make my mark up and out, few for short times, Aye, conspire to warthog, Remember so force your spirit onto ours, And shake, sandbox! There aiming at you were the snakes of six liars, And the stakes of empires lost and won over, Also one solemn subtle Star of David Worn upon the neck of six monks, Ragtime Six popes, pass I; Six fathers and streaks solemn and Care tan teared salamander, Having weight and wake to cheer For our slaughter.

In the conclusion to their Mike Nichols miniseries, Phil and Emily welcome Joe Reid (Vulture, This Had Oscar Buzz) to unpack Angels in America: Part Two Perestroika.The trio dives deep into how Nichols translated Tony Kushner's monumental stage play into one of HBO's most ambitious miniseries exploring its themes of prophecy, identity, queer resilience, and the intersection of politics and spirituality in 1980s America. They discuss the legacy of Angels as both a masterpiece of television and a cultural turning point for the medium itself, its sweeping performances from Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, and Mary-Louise Parker, and how Nichols closed out his career redefining prestige TV.This episode caps a thoughtful look back at Nichols' 2000s work, from Wit to Angels in America, examining how he brought cinematic intimacy to television storytelling.

On Lit with Charles, we usually dive into novels, short stories, and poetry - but in this episode, we're doing something a little radical. From the longest literary forms to one of the shortest: the aphorism.An aphorism is a short, striking statement - often just a line or two - that captures a deep universal truth. It's a form beloved by some of history's greatest minds: Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Friedrich Nietzsche, to name a few.Today's guest, James Geary, is an American writer and lifelong devotee of this deceptively simple art. From his early fascination with language to his career as an editor at Time magazine and later as a lecturer at Harvard, James has explored the timeless power of the aphorism - those brief sentences that linger far longer than they last. His works include The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism and Wit's End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It.We talk about what makes an aphorism work, why brevity can sometimes reveal more than verbosity, and how these tiny truths continue to shape how we think and write.I loved this conversation - it's a thoughtful, witty, and illuminating dive into the distilled essence of language. I hope you enjoy it too.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review — it really helps others discover the podcast.

More and more women are entering the trucking industry, but remain underrepresented. They account for only about 10% of truck drivers and 4% in technician roles. In this Talking Transports podcast, Jennifer Hedrick, president and CEO of the Women in Trucking Association (WIT), joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to discuss what the organization is doing to attract more women into the trucking industry, from the driver’s seat to the C-suite. Access to safe parking and more focused gender amenities would go a long way toward making over-the-road truckling more appealing for women, she says. Hedrick also discusses the association’s work in Washington, DC; members’ outlooks on trucking; outreach programs; and even style advice, suggesting I should rock a red tuxedo at WIT’s upcoming Accelerate Conference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ook het panel van de AD Media Podcast keek met verbijstering naar de rechtszaak tegen Marco Borsato. Vooral de ‘giftige sfeer’ in het gezin waar de zanger jarenlang onderdeel van uitmaakte, wekt afschuw. Angela de Jong: ‘Als je weet dat er een jong meisje naakt op bed ligt, ga je niet naar die slaapkamer toe.’ Borsato is uiteraard hét gesprek van de dag, maar er gebeurde meer in medialand. De afgelopen dagen vlogen op tv de politieke statements je om de oren. De panelleden vellen vooral een oordeel over de vorm en de presentatie van al die debatten. De kritiek op Wilfred Genee baart in elk geval opzien. Mediaverslaggever Gudo Tienhooven durft hem zelfs uit te roepen tot de beste debatleider tot nu toe. En hoe doen Jeroen Pauw en Tim de Wit het momenteel eigenlijk als gelegenheidsduo? Bij de publieke omroep is het weer eens oorlog, ditmaal over de manier waarop de monsterbezuiniging van 160 miljoen euro moet worden doorgevoerd. NPO 2 gaat overdag kinderprogramma’s uitzenden, NPO 3 wordt een sport- en evenementenzender. Dit plan ligt vooral gevoelig bij de ‘kleine’ omroepen Wat is er precies aan de hand? Ook over tafel in deze aflevering: Lucky TV wordt Lucky Radio en Eva Jinek zorgde met haar interview met Suzan en Freek voor dikke lagen kippenvel.

Twitch streamer and fellow Hyrule Gaming Group member Byuka returns to the podcast as we talk about the world wide release of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby game. After nearly a year and a half, Byuka comes back to the podcast as we talk about an app/game that has taken over our lives. Japanese horse girl racing game, Umamusume: Pretty Derby, released world wide earlier this year. A game that has been in Asia for several years, Umamusume providers the player a chance to train and race their favorite horse girl over the course of a 3 year period. What will you train? Speed? Wit? Will you give them recreation time? How often will you let them rest? And what skills will your horsegirl obtain in the course of their career? It's highly deep in strategy, frustrating with the RNG at times, and has deep lore for each character - and each character being based on a real horse that exists (or existed). We go over a lot of what we love about the game, the lore and history, how we play, plus tips and tricks! Go check out Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and send me your trainer code so we can be friends!

De cryptomarkt lijkt maar niet te herstellen van de harde klap die twee weken geleden viel. De koers van Bitcoin schommelt rond de 110.000 dollar en hoewel er vanochtend een kleine opleving te zien is, blijft de algehele trend broos. Altcoins doen het nog slechter, met verliezen tussen de vijf en tien procent. Daarmee groeit de vrees dat de stijgende trend van de afgelopen twee jaar zijn kracht begint te verliezen. In Europa laat Rusland zich ondertussen van een andere kant zien. Volgens nieuw onderzoek van Chainalysis is het land veruit koploper in het gebruik van cryptovaluta op het continent. In totaal werd er het afgelopen jaar voor bijna 400 miljard dollar aan waarde in crypto ontvangen. Daarna volgen het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Duitsland, Oekraïne, Frankrijk en Nederland. Opvallend is dat de interesse in crypto niet afneemt naarmate markten volwassener worden. Dat wijst erop dat er nog altijd veel groeipotentieel is in Europa. Een belangrijke rol in die ontwikkeling speelt de nieuwe Europese cryptowet, MICAR. Het is het eerste gezamenlijke regelgevend kader ter wereld voor digitale activa. Chainalysis merkt daarbij op dat de uitvoering per lidstaat verschilt, wat in de praktijk voor onduidelijkheid zorgt. Toch geldt MICAR als een stap vooruit, omdat het de cryptosector in Europa meer legitimiteit geeft en de deur opent voor institutionele beleggers en bedrijven die zich eerder afzijdig hielden. Ook stablecoins op basis van de euro winnen terrein. Tot nu toe domineren de op de dollar gebaseerde munten de markt, met Tether als koploper en inmiddels 180 miljard dollar aan reserves. Omdat Tether niet aan de Europese MICAR-regels voldoet, ligt daar ruimte voor eurostablecoins. De handel daarin groeide het afgelopen jaar met 2700 procent, al gaat dat nog steeds om relatief kleine bedragen. In totaal staan nu 25 verschillende stablecoins onder toezicht binnen de Europese regelgeving. Tot slot komt uit de Verenigde Staten het nieuws dat warenhuisketen Bealls betalingen in crypto gaat toestaan. Klanten kunnen voortaan afrekenen met Bitcoin, Ethereum en Tether. Bealls werkt daarvoor samen met betaalverwerker Flexa. Met 660 vestigingen is het een opvallende stap, al blijft de vraag of consumenten hun crypto daadwerkelijk gaan gebruiken aan de kassa. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met lightning-ontwikkelaar Jesse de Wit, actief bij Breez. Met Jesse spreken we over de laatste ontwikkelingen die Bitcoin écht moeten gaan omvormen tot bruikbaar betaalmiddel, want ondanks alle innovatie van de laatste jaren neemt die functie nog geen vlucht. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het Lightning Network is bezig aan een nieuwe fase van volwassenheid. In deze aflevering gaat het over de technische en maatschappelijke kant van deze ontwikkeling. Bitcoin wordt vaak gezien als waardeopslag, maar hoe staat het ervoor als betaalmiddel? De basisinfrastructuur werkt inmiddels betrouwbaar en snel, maar achter de schermen is niet alles rustig. Binnen de Bitcoin-gemeenschap speelt een felle discussie tussen verschillende groepen ontwikkelaars over de koers van het netwerk. De onenigheid, onder meer over het gebruik van bepaalde functies in de code, laat zien hoe fragiel samenwerking in open source-ontwikkeling kan zijn, maar hoort ook bij de manier waarop Bitcoin evolueert. Te gast is Jesse de Wit, lightning-ontwikkelaar bij Breez. Tegelijkertijd komt het Lightning Network zelf verder tot bloei. Sinds begin 2023 zijn er grote stappen gezet in stabiliteit en adoptie. De technologie wordt inmiddels beschouwd als de standaard voor betalingen met bitcoin. Er zijn professionele partijen actief geworden die de infrastructuur verder uitbouwen en voor meer gebruiksgemak zorgen. Toch is het netwerk nog niet overal even toegankelijk: wallets verschillen sterk in kwaliteit en het gebruiksgemak laat nog ruimte voor verbetering. Ook is de concurrentie van andere vormen van digitale betaling voelbaar. Stablecoins en tokenized dollars winnen terrein, vooral omdat ze aansluiten bij bestaande gewoontes in het betalingsverkeer. Dat roept de vraag op welke rol bitcoin als betaalmiddel op termijn kan spelen naast deze alternatieven. Een belangrijk deel van het gesprek gaat over de technische innovaties die het gebruik van Lightning eenvoudiger moeten maken. Daarbij komt onder meer een nieuw ontwikkelplatform aan bod waarmee toepassingen kunnen worden gebouwd die direct met het netwerk zijn verbonden. Dat moet het voor bedrijven makkelijker maken om Lightning-betalingen te integreren zonder zelf de volledige infrastructuur te beheren. Er wordt ook gekeken naar de mogelijkheden voor betaaloplossingen in winkels, zoals kassasystemen die automatisch verbinding maken met het netwerk. Ten slotte gaat het over de toekomst van schaalbaarheid. Wat gebeurt er als Lightning op grote schaal gebruikt gaat worden, bijvoorbeeld op evenementen met tienduizenden bezoekers? De technologie is er klaar voor, maar de uitdaging ligt in adoptie en gebruiksgemak. Want pas als gebruikers nauwelijks meer merken dat ze met bitcoin betalen, kan het netwerk zijn belofte echt waarmaken. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom.

The POWER Of Charisma, Charm and Wit

In theatervoorstelling ‘Een stukje naar de mensen toe' onderzoekt Rebekka de Wit wat er overblijft van verbinding in een wereld vol prikkels en consumptie. Met humor en zelfspot kijkt De Wit naar haar eigen gedrag, van gedachteloos scrollen tot het najagen van gemak, en vraagt ze zich af wat we verliezen als we ons steeds verder terugtrekken in onze digitale bubbels. ‘Een stukje naar de mensen toe' laat zien hoe we verlangen naar oneindige consumptie en er tegelijk aan ten onder gaan. Rebekka de Wit is schrijver en theatermaker. Ze schrijft columns voor De Groene Amsterdammer en De Standaard in België. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

Phil and Emily continue their deep-dive into Mike Nichols' work from the 2000s with Wit , the acclaimed HBO adaptation of Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prize–winning play. Joined by writer and producer Eliza Clark (Y: The Last Man, Animal Kingdom), they explore how Nichols recalibrated his directorial voice after What Planet Are You From? with this intimate, emotionally devastating story of a scholar facing terminal illness.The conversation digs into the film's powerful performances led by Emma Thompson and the delicate balance Nichols strikes between theatricality and cinematic storytelling. Together, they unpack Wit's themes of mortality, intellect, vulnerability, and humanity, while tracing how this project set the stage for his monumental follow-up, Angels in America.If you want access to full video episodes, exclusive bonus content, and more conversations like this one, head over to our Patreon and join the community today.

This week, the crew sits down with Jeff Wright of Oklahoma Foundation Seed to trace the wheat seed pipeline—from a few pounds in the breeder's bag to the certified seed growers buy. Jeff opens the hood on a weather‑delayed harvest that still posted only ~5% sprout damage and a 56‑lb test weight on Orange Blossom, then tells the highway‑shoulder saga of backing a combine down I‑44 after a trailer failure. He explains the four certified seed classes (breeder → foundation → registered → certified), why purity matters, and how new tools—like fast‑cleaning plot combines and precision planters—help scale a 10–15 lb start into bushels, quicker. Agronomy nuggets abound: skip‑row/wide‑row, ~500k seeds/acre targets, and how partnerships from Hutchinson to Stillwater keep seed flowing across the Plains.Top ten takeawaysThe seed pipeline exists to protect purity—breeder → foundation → registered → certified—so farmers get exactly the genetics they expect.Even in a rough year, Orange Blossom came off with ~5% sprout damage and 56‑lb test weight, underscoring how management and luck intersect.Logistics are real: after losing two trailer wheels, Jeff literally backed a combine down I‑44 to keep harvest moving.Modern gear speeds purity: a Kincaid research combine can be torn down and cleaned in about 1–1.5 hours(often right in the field).Tiny starts can scale fast: planting 10–15 lb with a research planter can produce bushels the next year and accelerate releases like Scab Striker.Low‑pop, wide/skip‑row wheat works—Jeff often targets ~500,000 seeds/acre and still harvests competitive yields.Trait licensing shapes access: certain lines (e.g., DoubleStop, Strad, CoAXium) are certified‑seed‑only or under special contracts.Cross‑state coordination matters: OSU and K‑State swap seed and use Hutchinson, KS, as a hand‑off to serve customers on both sides of the line.Cold storage and national germplasm archives keep legacy varieties alive for future breeding and rescue.The future's colorful (literally): purple wheats, higher‑fiber lines, and other innovations are on the horizon. Timestamps:00:00–00:18 — Sponsor: Oklahoma Wheat Commission; “feeding the world while growing the future.”00:19–01:20 — Show open, Ep. 424; “lots of wheat going in the ground across the Great Plains.”01:21–02:16 — Team roll call: Dr. Brian Arnall, Dr. Josh Lofton, Dr. Raedan Sharry; booth banter.02:25–03:38 — Meet Jeff Wright, manager of Oklahoma Foundation Seed; recorded at High Plains Journal Live (Wichita).03:39–04:52 — Harvest chaos: cutting delays; “lost two wheels” off the trailer; backed a combine down I‑44 to solve it.04:53–06:10 — What Foundation Seed does: maintain purity, scale new releases, and handle more than wheat (barley, oats, rye, peanuts, mung beans, forage grasses).06:11–08:14 — Weather impact: a late cut still tested ~5% sprout damage and 56 lb test weight on Orange Blossom; theory on staying consistently wet.08:15–12:26 — Jeff's 18‑year arc (since 2007): from F2 gleaners and all‑day cleanouts to better logistics and later planting windows.12:27–15:06 — Launching varieties faster: from Duster's slow start to handling 15–10 lb starts across many lines.15:07–17:22 — Research planter tactics: planting ~25 lb over ~2 acres (80 bu the next year) and 15 lb over ~2 acres (later “Scab Striker” at ~90 bu).18:13–19:32 — Equipment leap: Kincaid seed‑production combine (clean in ~1–1.5 hours in the field) and a small 10‑ft header plot machine (30 minutes, one person).20:09–21:11 — Seed classes explained: breeder → foundation → registered → certified; most OSU lines can be saved farm‑to‑farm, with traited exceptions (e.g., DoubleStop, Strad, some CoAXium).21:53–24:26 — How other states do it; crop mixes; Kansas heavy in wheat, Missouri soybeans, Georgia peanuts.24:37–26:06 — Coordination with K‑State and Kansas Wheat Alliance; swap seed and use Hutchinson as a distribution point.26:46–28:06 — Facilities: moved into a new building in 2018; goal to hard‑install cleaning equipment (retire the portable setup).28:36–29:46 — Agronomy: ~500k seeds/acre can still push yield; which plant types handle wider rows/skip rows best (good tillering, wide leaves).30:09–33:05 — When varieties fade: carryover strategy, hauling to the elevator, and keeping small lots in cold storage; national germplasm backup.34:33–35:24 — What's next: purple wheats, high‑fiber lines, and more CoAXium—“exciting changes ahead.”|36:00–37:30 — Why producer partnerships matter; wrap and contact info RedDirtAgronomy.com

Fear isn't just about the chills—it's about what our minds, bodies, and cultures do with it.In this episode of Wit and Reason, licensed clinical social worker Alex and community psychologist Dr. Alexis unpack the psychology of fear through strange encounters and cultural stories. From childhood trauma mistaken for ghost sightings to Tesla tech glitches misread as hauntings, they explore how fear shapes memory, perception, and resilience.Why do some people love horror for the thrill, while others can't escape the weight of terrifying memories? Alex and Dr. Alexis break down the science, the folklore, and the impact on our mental health—while reminding us that the goal isn't to prove or disprove the paranormal, but to process fear in ways that keep us safe, validated, and curious.Disclaimer: This episode contains discussions of trauma, hallucinations, psychosis, and suicide.

Are you angry and frustrated with your coworkers or school-mates? Do you have woo that you want to pitch but are getting frustrated by your potential partner? Do you have difficulty remembering what we are talking about sometimes? Well, the name of our beer is Wit's End....sooooooo..... I guess it is time to really focus and start to really pull apart this book and figure out what is going on. Frist off, we should all get our comic books and prepare to play our game. Speaking of playing, how would you like to have a playroom like the Future Foundation kids? Is that cool out or what. Why could we not have such a cool room to grow up in? Why do we not have that kind of awesome life. I needed this as a child and I need it now. Build me an adult playground! And while we are at it, I need some aweome, yummy, sugary cereal that is secretly healthy, and yet full of sugar. Can we make that happen? I do not want it to taste fake or gross, I want it to taste like neon unnatural fruit not found in any forest, and I want it to kick the synapses in my brain pan into overdrive. But I do not want diabetes. More coffee, better coffee, faster coffee. Make it be awesome, plentiful and make it come out of taps like bourbon. Wait, you do not have bourbon taps? You should. It makes all the difference in the world. And if someone questions your life choices, deny them bourbon from your bourbon tap. Ok...I need a moment. The coffee and cereal need to have a meeting with me. Another thing I need, many TV's all showing animie. I want my brain to explode from the concentrate assault cute anime characters making cute motions on the screen. I need those big eyes and cute features to just make my morning great. And finally, I need to have my good guys and bad guys dressed in appropriate clothing. And I need this to happen know. I need all of the bad guys in the world to start wearing the appropriate colors so we can know them on site. Make it happen world. Well, now that we got the serious stuff out of the way, we can go back to being silly in a couple of weeks. We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble. We have a couple of nifty shirts for sale. https://www.redbubble.com/people/jeffrickpresent/?asc=u   If you want to see the pictures, check out this site:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/08/25/ff-v2-12-mind-mischief/   You can also subscribe and listen to us on YouTube!  Our show supports the Hero Initiative, Helping Comic Creators in Need.  http://www.heroinitiative.org/ Eighties Action by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3703-eighties-action License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Mainstream Music 2025 Vol. 8

Performers do more than entertain. Whether comedians, musicians, theater artists, or athletes, they challenge the status quo, spark joy, and reflect the struggles we all face. In this episode of Wit and Reason with Alex & Dr. Alexis' Therapy or Trash series, we dive into the psychology of touring, the resilience of live performers, and the ways audiences benefit from their courage to show up on stage.Through stand-up comedy, indie theater, music, and even BMX stunts, we reveal how performers help us laugh, think, and connect more deeply with ourselves and each other.
