    What's the Wildest Thing You've Done for Love (or Sex)? Join us as we dive into the unapologetic world of Courtney Kocak, writer, podcaster, and comedian extraordinaire, who's just released her scorching hot memoir, Girl Gone Wild! In this episode, we get the tea on Courtney's journey from selling T-shirts on the infamous Girls Gone Wild tour (for the uninitiated, it was a series of spring break party videos that, ahem, "celebrated" youthful abandon) to becoming a respected voice in the world of sexuality and feminism. Here's what you'll get out of this episode: * The story behind Courtney's transition from party tour T-shirt vendor to writer and podcaster * A sneak peek into her wildly popular podcast, Private Parts Unknown, and one of her most unforgettable "Girl Gone Wild" stories * What it means to be an "unwitting feminist" and how Courtney's experiences have shaped her views on sex and identity * The good, the bad, and the ugly of Courtney's formative years and how they influenced her adult life * Advice for those who've been told they're "too much" or "not enough" when it comes to their sexuality * A cheeky elevator pitch for Girl Gone Wild and how to get your hands on a copy (and maybe even work with Courtney) Courtney's got a knack for storytelling, and her experiences are both relatable and, well, wild. With over two million podcast downloads under her belt and bylines in top-tier publications like The New York Times and Cosmopolitan, she's the perfect guest to dish out the real talk on sex, love, and being unapologetically yourself. Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and thought-provoking – and stay tuned until the end for a teaser that's sure to leave you wanting more.

In February 1945, 70,000 U.S. Marines stormed the black volcanic sands of a tiny, seemingly insignificant island in the Pacific. What they faced was a fortress, an 8-square-mile island honeycombed with 11 miles of underground bunkers, tunnels, and firing positions defended by over 21,000 of Japan's most fanatical Imperial troops. The battle was supposed to take a few days. It lasted for 36 of the most brutal days in American military history. This video breaks down the strategic nightmare, the horrific fighting conditions, and the incredible acts of valor that defined the struggle for Iwo Jima.

    When did holidays become another thing to conquer?In this episode of The Noise of Life Podcast, I sit down with my brother Mark Hodgson, Founder of Mind & Body Travel - to unpack something many of us rarely question: why modern travel feels more exhausting than restorative.Overpacked itineraries. Ten cities in three weeks. Back-to-back flights. “The greatest hits tour.”Somewhere along the way, travel began to mirror modern life - busy, performative and driven by social media validation rather than authentic experience.Mark shares how his work in the travel industry goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. It's about intentional travel planning. It's about designing journeys that strip away the noise and help people truly reconnect - with their partner, their family and themselves.From Vietnam to Europe to Antarctica and everywhere in between, Mark shares powerful stories that reveal the difference between spectacle and substance.This conversation challenges how we approach holidays, travel planning, and time off. Because maybe the better question isn't “Where do I want to go?” but “What do I need right now?”Travel should recalibrate you.It should restore you.It should reconnect you.And when designed intentionally, it does exactly that.If you're interested in travel tips, mindful travel, sustainable tourism, authentic experiences or simply learning how to travel less and experience more - this episode is for you.Inside this podcast:- Why holidays have become another source of burnout- The danger of the greatest hits travel mindset- How overtourism damages authenticity and community- Why rest is about pace, not inactivity- How intentional travel improves relationships and mental healthConnect with Mark:Personal Instagram  → https://bit.ly/4r5UnQr Business Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mindandbodytravel/ Website → https://mindandbodytravel.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - When did travel become something to conquer00:04:00 - Overpacked European itineraries and burnout00:08:00 - Tourism as economic blessing and curse00:15:00 - The danger of ego driven travel posts00:17:00 - Rest versus performance holidays00:22:00 - Small group travel and intentional design00:27:00 - Antarctica and earning the experience00:31:00 - Why cabin location matters more than people think00:36:00 - Doing the work to reach the good stuff00:39:00 - Saving money through better design, not cheap bookings00:41:00 - Flexibility in modern travel planning00:43:00 - Travel as emotional reset00:46:00 - Using holidays to prepare for your next life sprint00:49:00 - Asking what holiday do I need00:50:00 - Challenge everything as a company valueABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths and remarkable growth.

    In this episode from Highclere Castle, I sit down with Nick Hopton to talk about his book, "Marma Mia," which begins as the story of buying and restoring a holiday house in an unspoiled part of Tuscany, the Maremma and becomes a wider family and personal journey. Nick shares how reading "A Year in Provence" during COVID while he was British Ambassador to Libya helped inspire him to write a feel-good book that encourages readers to discover lesser-known regions. We discuss his Foreign Office career and his approach to languages, including learning Arabic across postings such as Morocco, Yemen, Qatar and Libya, along with French, Italian, Spanish, some German, and some Farsi ahead of becoming ambassador to Iran after the 2015 nuclear deal and the reopening of the British embassy. Nick explains how a friend's suggestion to look beyond Chianti led serendipitously to the first house they viewed and ultimately boughtalongside the realities of renovating abroad: high costs, practical challenges, and the highs and lows of making a place work for family life. We also talk about his unexpected love of landscaping and working with a skilled digger operator he calls “Michelangelo,” the region's food, wine, local olive oil and its strong Tuscan accent. Nick recounts a memorable moment when a friend arrived with an armed escort and the town's mayor turned out to greet them, and he updates me on ongoing projects, including drilling a 97-meter well to reach a fresh aquifer. Looking ahead, Nick describes writing best in the relative isolation of the Italian house and shares his interest in writing more broadly about the Mediterranean, linked to his role creating a new program at the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics. We touch on the Napoleonic history of the area, including the principality of Piombino and Lucca and Napoleon's sister Elisa and end with a playful question about a dream dance guest Nick chooses Dante's Beatrice, reflecting his early love of Dante's poetry and its lifelong influence.00:00 Meet Nick Hopton & the book ‘Marma Mia' (restoring a house in Italy)00:50 Inspired by ‘A Year in Provence': writing a feel-good travel memoir during COVID01:59 Diplomatic life & learning languages: Arabic, French, Italian (and more)04:26 Why you should speak the local language (even with bad grammar)05:17 Falling for Tuscany's Maremma: the serendipitous house-buying story07:42 Renovation reality: highs, lows, and why the Maremma stays authentic08:44 Landscaping obsession: diggers, Kubotas, and ‘Michelangelo' the operator11:05 Food, wine & dialect: tomatoes, olive oil, and the Tuscan accent12:49 Small-town surprises: the ambassador friend visit and the mayor's welcome13:43 The work never ends: is the villa project ever really finished?14:01 Digging a 97m Well & the Never-Ending House Project14:27 What's Next After the Book: A Wider Mediterranean Focus14:58 Seeing the Mediterranean Holistically (Cambridge Geopolitics & Trade Routes)16:26 Duff Cooper, John Julius Norwich & Highclere's Colorful Guests17:20 Writing Habits: Tuscany, Isolation, Rhythm & Beating Procrastination18:37 Italy, Maremma & Napoleonic History: Elisa and the Principality of Piombino and Lucca20:30 Diplomatic Postings & Reopening the UK Embassy in Iran (2015)23:09 Iran Today: Regime Weakness, Protests, and a Hope to Visit the Cradle of Civilization24:21 Highclere's Library, the Book Club, and a Shared Love of Italy25:27 Finale: The Summer Dance Fantasy Guest—Dante, Beatrice & Vita NovaYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

    667. Part 2 of our conversation with Kathleen Kass Byrd about her book on the history of Natchitoches. "Kathleen M. Byrd's Natchitoches, Louisiana, 1803–1840 is an examination of one French Creole community as it transitioned from a fur-trading and agricultural settlement under the control of Spain to a critical American outpost on the Spanish/American frontier and finally to a commercial hub and jumping-off point for those heading west. Byrd focuses on historic events in the area and the long-term French Creole residents as they adapted to the American presence. She also examines the effect of the arrival of the Americans, with their Indian trading house and Indian agency, on Native groups and considers how members of the enslaved population took advantage of opportunities for escape presented by a new international border. Byrd shows how the arrival of Americans forever changed Natchitoches, transforming it from a sleepy frontier settlement into a regional commercial center and staging point for pioneers heading into Texas" (LSU Pr.). Kathleen M. Byrd (nicknamed Kass) is a distinguished anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian specializing in the history and prehistory of Louisiana, particularly the Natchitoches region. A native of Connecticut, she earned her B.A. from Marquette University, an M.A. from LSU (focusing on coastal subsistence patterns), and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. She served as Louisiana's state archaeologist for 15 years before joining Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches in 1994, where she later became director of the School of Social Sciences for 12 years until her retirement.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

The Nile monitor, a six-foot-long lizard native to Africa, is gaining ground in parts of the state. Wildlife officials say the species poses a serious threat to native animals, and it can now be killed year-round without a permit. Known for tackling invasive reptiles, trapper Mike Kimmel — also called the Python Cowboy — describes the Nile monitor as “like a python mixed with an iguana.” They're powerful, intelligent predators, similar to a smaller Komodo dragon. On Florida's west coast, especially in Cape Coral, biologists have been battling the species for nearly 20 years. Hundreds have been trapped, but pockets remain. That's concerning because Cape Coral is also home to Florida's largest population of the threatened Burrowing owl, which nests in the ground — making it vulnerable to predators like the Nile monitor. These lizards are carnivores. They eat fish, frogs, birds, eggs, small mammals — even young crocodiles — and have been known to attack chickens and small pets. They can grow up to 6.5 feet long, weigh nearly 20 pounds, run up to 18 miles per hour, and swim underwater for nearly an hour. Their ability to travel along canals and waterways has helped them spread. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is actively removing Nile monitors and urges residents to report any sightings. Wildlife officials warn: this is one invasive species South Florida can't afford to ignore. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/florida-newest-invasive-nile-monitors/ What To Do To Minimize Stress About International Travel and “Shelter In Place” Warnings Last weekend Americans were told to shelter in place following a Mexican drug lord's death on Feb. 22, 2026. As a result, parts of Mexico have seen civil unrest in the wake of his death, including vehicles being torched and gunmen, believed to have supported the deceased, blocking highways in more than a dozen Mexico states. This is a great reminder that anytime traveling beyond the U.S. borders to utilize the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service to U.S. citizens and nationals to enroll a trip abroad so that the Department of State can accurately and quickly contact in case of emergency. Benefits of STEP Updates about health, weather, safety and security for your destination. Plan ahead using information from the local U.S. embassy. Helps the embassy or consulate contact you if there is an emergency like a natural disaster, civil unrest, or a family emergency. Current Status: According to the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico website. Actions to Take: Seek shelter and minimize unnecessary movements. Avoid areas around law enforcement activity. Check @CAPUFE on X for status of road closures. Monitor local media for updates. Follow the directions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911. Keep family and friends advised of your location and well-being via phone, text, and social media. How To Be Travel Prepared Traveling abroad: Register in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. Pack snacks such as microwave popcorn and small snacks. Stock your hotel room with extra bottled water and individually packaged snacks. Advise family and friends of location, length of trip and emergency contact information. Travel with extra medications as well as over the counter aides such as cold and fever meds.

    We throw ourselves into a brutally fun Disney Would You Rather showdown where every choice comes with a consequence — and there's absolutely no fence-sitting allowed. Encanto is coming to Animal Kingdom… so do you double down with another blockbuster attraction or finally fix Tomorrowland once and for all? Only visit EPCOT during festivals… or give them up forever in exchange for a free table service meal every visit? Build a fifth gate in Orlando… or continually expand the four parks we already love? And that's just the beginning. We debate ride strategy chaos like standby-only Guardians vs virtual queue forever, losing all boat rides vs losing all dark rides, and whether you'd rather guarantee Flight of Passage stays under 30 minutes or finally see the Yeti working perfectly again. Then we dive into dining dilemmas, resort loyalty tests, and park-day strategy battles that reveal what kind of Disney fan you really are — rope drop every day or close the parks every night? Plan everything 60 days out or completely wing it? This episode is part nostalgia, part strategy, part chaos — and 100% the kind of conversation that will have you yelling your answers at your speakers.

    In 1910 two teams raced to be the first to the South Pole. One was led by the Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen and the other by British naval officer, Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Amundsen would beat Scott to the Pole by about four weeks, only for the latter to perish with his team on their return journey. But what of the women they left behind? Author Katherine MacInnes first told their story in her book Snow Widows but a trip to Antarctica this month has revealed even more. Katherine talks to Mihingarangi about the harshness not just of the climate - but of the times - and New Zealand's links to an expedition that has been compared with the race to the moon.

    Nasiru Ibrahim — an architect from Nigeria and a new adventure rider — sets out on his first true motorcycle journey with a simple idea: ride his Yamaha Ténéré to the Ténéré Desert. It's an ambitious first trip, fueled by equal parts curiosity and confidence. Heading north through regions where the language and culture feel familiar, he anticipates the usual challenges — long distances, fatigue, border crossings, and the uncertainties of travelling solo. Instead, a routine stop in a small desert town leads to his arrest and detention in a politically tense region. What follows is a two-week ordeal far from home, as he navigates uncertainty, bureaucracy, and the stark realization of how quickly an adventure can take an unexpected turn.
