The quality of food in care homes for the elderly can be underwhelming. Ruth Alexander talks to the people highlighting the issue and finding ways to bring nutrition and comfort back on the menu. Dr Lisa Portner, a medical doctor and researcher at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charite, outlines the inadequate diet offered by three nursing homes she studied in Germany. Australian restaurateur and food writer Maggie Beer tells how she came to set up the Maggie Beer Foundation, which aims to research the issues, raise awareness and offer culinary training. Ronald Marshall explains the simple ways he found to help carers understand the food preferences of his mum, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2020. And Navgot Gill Chawla recounts the conversations she had as a PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario with South-Asian Canadians living with dementia and their families and care partners. When the subject of care homes came up, she says food was uppermost in their minds. If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk Producer: Beatrice Pickup.

I must've been a kid when I first heard the palindrome “Able I was ere I saw Elba”. Napoleon didn't mean a lot to me at the time. “Elba” meant even less. Decades later, I had learned a little more about Napoleon and his time there, but not that all that much it turns out. And then came Mark Braude's The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba from Empire to Exile (Penguin Press, 2018)… This unexpected and absorbing book delves into the story of Napoleon's exile on the island of Elba following his abdication in 1814. After his escape and return to France for the “100 Days,” Napoleon was, of course, finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815. The Invisible Emperor explores a period in between the “bigger-ticket” events with which readers may be more familiar, a time and space in which Napoleon at once out of sight and more in contact with everyday people than perhaps at any other point in his career. Written in multiple short chapters comprising four parts that follow the seasons of Bonaparte's ten-month stay on Elba, The Invisible Emperor reconsiders the Napoleonic legend from the point of view of a moment of relative quiet in a modest setting. Carefully researched and a pleasure to read, it challenges aspects of the towering historical figure's mythology. The space, timeline, and scale of this history may be small, but this is a Napoleon we don't typically hear about. Presented in a narrative rich with curious details and a surprising intimacy, The Invisible Emperor manages to humanize an epic history and life about which so much has been written over the past two centuries. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Simon Fraser University. Her current research focuses on the representation of nuclear weapons and testing in France and its empire since 1945. She lives and reads in Vancouver, Canada.

In the podcast, Cees Van Staal tells us about the Paleozoic tectonic events that led to the formation of the Appalachians. The events are closely related to those involved in the Caledonian orogeny and the mountains it created in what is now Ireland, Scotland, east Greenland, and Norway, as discussed in the episode with Rob Strachan. However, the Appalachians that we see today are not the worn-down remnants of the Paleozoic mountains. Instead, they reflect much more a topography that was created during processes associated with rifting and magmatism that accompanied the opening of the Atlantic Ocean as well as the effects of the ice ages as recently as about 10,000 years ago.Van Staal has been studying the Appalachians for over 35 years, focusing especially on the large-scale tectonics of their formation. He is Emeritus scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and an Adjunct/Research Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

On June 18, 1815, the fields of Waterloo ran red with the blood of up to 20,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of horses. Eyewitnesses described the chaos: mass graves dug in haste, bodies burned, the stench of war hanging heavy in the air. War leaves behind bodies—that's the hard truth. But what happens when those bodies… disappear?Over two centuries later, archaeologists have uncovered a haunting mystery: despite the scale of the slaughter, only two human skeletons and three horses have ever been found on the battlefield. So where, exactly, are the bones?This story will take you beyond the battlefield and into the sugar factories, the farmlands, and the shadows of post-war Europe to uncover a chilling, forgotten story. You've heard of the Battle of Waterloo—but you've never heard this version.This one will make you rethink everything you know about history, industry, and the disturbing afterlife of war.Go to The Missing Chapter Podcast website for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!
Southern Europe is in the grip of another summer of extreme heat, with temperatures soaring to record highs and wildfires burning across the region. The Guardian's Ajit Niranjan explains why Europe is heating faster than other continents, and what that means for people on the ground. Then, University of Waterloo's Daniel Scott on how the tourism industry is adapting to rising temperatures and why more travellers are booking “cool-cations” in cooler destinations.
Swedish band ABBA – made up of Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-Frid – conquered the global record charts in the 1970s, and became one of the most successful music groups of all time, conservatively selling more than 150 million albums worldwide. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, the quartet would release a string of smash hit songs that made them household names across Europe, the Americas, Australia, and even parts of Asia. The group disbanded in 1982, but found renewed success in the 90s and 2000s thanks to their inclusion in cult-movie soundtracks, the record-breaking compilation album ABBA Gold, and a blockbuster musical adaptation – and eventual Hollywood film – Mammia Mia. Now, more than 50 years after the group's debut, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine the Best ABBA Song of all time. Songs discussed: “Dancing Queen,” “Thank You for the Music,” “Waterloo,” “Voulez-Vous,” “Super Trouper,” “Money, Money, Money,” “Lay All Your Love On Me,” “Mamma Mia,” “Gimme Gimme Gimme,” “Chiquitita,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Take a Chance On Me,” “S.O.S.,” “The Name of the Game,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” and “Fernando.” Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Curtis Creekmore, Derek Mekita, and Kate Racculia as they discuss 16 of the most beloved songs by ABBA.

'Our Mutual Friend' was Dickens's last completed novel, published in serial form in 1864-65. The story begins with a body being dredged from the ooze and slime of the Thames, then opens out to follow a wide array of characters through the dust heaps, paper mills, public houses and dining rooms of London and its hinterland. For this episode, Tom is joined by Rosemary Hill and Tom Crewe to make sense of a complex work that was not only the last great social novel of the period but also gestured forwards to the crisp, late-century cynicism of Oscar Wilde. They consider the ways in which the book was responding to the darkening mood of mid-Victorian Britain and the fading of the post-Waterloo generation, as well as the remarkable flexibility of its prose, with its shifting modes, tenses and perspectives, that combine to make 'Our Mutual Friend' one of the most rewarding of Dickens's novels.

At 18 years old, Andean Medjedovic was a math prodigy, finishing his master's degree in mathematics at the University of Waterloo before most young Canadians can legally drink. Medjedovic was involved in cryptocurrency trading – and according to the U.S. Department of Justice – engaged in “cryptocurrency hacking schemes” that allegedly netted him US$65-million in digital tokens. Now, he's on the lam.Alexandra Posadzki, The Globe's financial and cybercrime reporter, is on the show to talk about how Medjedovic allegedly pulled off the trades, the cases against him, and how the controversial philosophy of “Code is Law” in the world of decentralized finance plays into his story.This episode originally aired May 2, 2025.Questions?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Napoleon Bonaparte's temporary return to power in France in 1815, following his escape from exile on Elba . He arrived with fewer than a thousand men, yet three weeks later he had displaced Louis XVIII and taken charge of an army as large as any that the Allied Powers could muster individually. He saw that his best chance was to pick the Allies off one by one, starting with the Prussian and then the British/Allied armies in what is now Belgium. He appeared to be on the point of victory at Waterloo yet somehow it eluded him, and his plans were soon in tatters. His escape to America thwarted, he surrendered on 15th July and was exiled again but this time to Saint Helena. There he wrote his memoirs to help shape his legacy, while back in Europe there were still fears of his return.

Was dropping the atomic bomb necessary? For nearly 80 years, historians have debated President Truman's decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan. But secret intelligence intercepts - classified for decades after the war - reveal what Japanese leaders were actually planning in the summer of 1945.Using newly available evidence from the "Magic" intercepts, Mat McLachlan examines the brutal alternatives Truman faced: invasion projections of over a million American casualties, Japanese preparations to turn their entire population into combatants, and intelligence proving Japan's refusal to surrender.Through the stories of Colonel Paul Tibbets, who piloted the Enola Gay, and Reverend Kiyoshi Tanimoto, who survived Hiroshima, this episode explores one of history's most controversial decisions - and why the evidence suggests it was the only choice that could end the war and save lives.The atomic bombs killed 200,000 people. But would the alternatives have killed millions more?Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiReady to walk in the footsteps of heroes?

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a track record of taking from the public to give to private interests. No where is this more evident than his government's approach to environmental conservation. Time and again, Doug Ford has removed public land to give to private developers, all in the name of supposedly strengthening the provincial economy and building houses. In recent years, parks and other greenspaces have been sold off for the creation of spas, highways, and some housing all while destroying valuable habitats and ecosystems. Today on rabble radio, I speak with Tim Gray, the Executive Director of Environmental Defence about the recent announcement that 60 per cent of the provincially owned Wasaga Beach will be handed over to private developers. About our guests Tim Gray is the Executive Director of Environmental Defence, a leading environmental advocacy organization in Canada. He is responsible for leading the organization's initiatives to safeguard Canada's freshwater, build livable cities, get toxic chemicals out of the products we use, clean up plastic pollution and transition Canada from fossil fuels to modern, clean energy. Tim was a founding Board member of Global Forest Watch Canada and Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, and in addition to leading Environmental Defence, he is also the Board of Directors of Evidence for Democracy. In 2025, Tim was a recipient of a King Charles III's Coronation Medal for his environmental work. Tim obtained an H.BSc. in Biology from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario in 1987 and a M.Sc. in Botany/Environmental Studies from the University of Toronto in 1992.

If you can make it as a professional musician in Austin, that is saying something. And if you can make it in Nashville, New Orleans, and also New York, that is saying something in all caps. Seth Walker has made it in all of the above locales. Making it as a professional musician in all of those iconic music scenes is not only impressive, but it also requires playing a variety of styles that sync with each city's musical tastes. With his 12th album, Why the Worry, Seth Walker shows off what he has learned (and unlearned) from all of those years gigging and recording with a who's who of roots music luminaries.In recent years, he has called western North Carolina home, which is not terribly far from his childhood home in a Quaker commune, a couple hundred miles to the east in Burlington. That is where his music journey began, and is the place which serves as the backdrop to his forthcoming novella, about a young girl on a tobacco farm. I imagine Seth Walker may even make some paintings to go along with that story, as he is also an accomplished visual artist.Seth is as laid back as he is intriguing, and we enjoyed a relaxed conversation at his home in Fairview, NC, nestled in the Appalachian mountains. Joining us was WNCW intern Elena Dickson, who hosted our recent episode on fellow western NC artist Sally Anne Morgan. We spoke about Seth's musical past and present, ranging from his love of jump blues to how an inspired take of Al Green's “Take Me to the River” set the wheels in motion for his latest album, to how Hurricane Helene very nearly left it in a ditch. All that and more, including music from Why the Worry, awaits you in this podcast.

Go behind the music and uncover the secrets of one of the world's most iconic supergroups. In this episode, award-winning Swedish music journalist Jan Gradvall joins us to reveal The Story of ABBA, drawing from his new book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover." We explore the fascinating human drama, the cultural clashes, and the surprising musical genius that propelled a band from Sweden to global domination. What is the shocking truth behind their happiest songs? Jan Gradvall, who has interviewed all four members, pulls back the curtain on the legends.From their formation as two couples who stumbled into a magical sound, to their complex journey through the pop world, this is The Story of ABBA as you've never heard it before. We start with their detailed ABBA Eurovision History, from the 1973 competition they lost in Sweden with "Ring Ring" to their game-changing 1974 victory with "Waterloo"—a glam-rock-infused pop track that broke the mold. Jan explains how the band faced intense opposition from the ABBA Progg Movement, a left-wing cultural force in Sweden that despised their commercial, capitalist sound and questioned their art. This deep dive uncovers the core of their unique sound, a concept Benny Andersson calls "Melancholy Undercover." Learn how the long, dark Scandinavian winters infused their music with a deep Swedish Melancholy in Music, creating a bittersweet feeling even in their most upbeat anthems, a sound rooted in Swedish folk traditions and Benny's accordion.Beyond the cultural context, we explore the incredible and often overlooked talent of Agnetha Fältskog, musician. While many focused on her looks, Agnetha was the only member who could read music, an accomplished classical piano player, and a prolific songwriter in her own right. Jan Gradvall shares insights from his personal interviews with all four members, revealing why Björn Ulvaeus can't remember being on tour and how the rhythm for "Take a Chance on Me" came from the sound of him jogging. We discuss how the band never officially broke up, the 90s revival sparked by the gay community and artists like Kurt Cobain, and the origins of global phenomena like the musical Chess and the stage and film sensation Mamma Mia. This is the definitive inside look at the band's journey, their conflicts, their creative process, and how they became more popular today than ever before.ABOUT OUR GUEST:Jan Gradvall is an award-winning writer and one of Sweden's most respected music journalists. With over 40 years of experience, he has cultivated a close journalistic relationship with ABBA, having been the first journalist to conduct in-depth interviews with all four members for a single story. He is also an instrumental founder of the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. His book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover," is built on his decades of work and unique access to the band.TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to ABBA's Hidden Story(02:09) ABBA's Eurovision History: From 'Ring Ring' to 'Waterloo'(07:30) Clashing with the Culture: ABBA vs. Sweden's 'Progg' Movement(10:26) Before the Supergroup: ABBA's Roots in Swedish Folk and Rock(12:44) Melancholy Undercover: The Swedish Soul of ABBA's Music(14:43) Decoding 'Tourist English': The Charm of ABBA's Lyrical Style(16:50) More Than an Image: The Overlooked Musical Talents of Agnetha Fältskog(30:09) A Hiatus, Not a Breakup: ABBA's Unofficial Split and 90s Revival(34:55) The Mamma Mia Phenomenon: From a Daring Idea to a Global Sensation(40:39) The Enduring Legacy: The ABBA Museum and the 'ABBA Voyage' ExperienceGet Jan Gradvall's Book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover": https://amzn.to/46M3Qpn
