The Baltic Triangle podcast is dedicated to delivering stories about people and businesses within the Liverpool City Region doing extraordinary things. In this episode we brought the conversation back home and the guys will be talking to the new Baltic Triangle Chair Fiona Shaw. The area company has had a shake-up in the past few months recruiting new members to the Baltic Triangle board to pursue various portfolios. In addition, Fiona talks about her own companies and interests that include Wordscapes and Ethos Magazine. Our other guest is travel writer Rupert Wolfe Murray who has recently contributed to new a book written by Daoud Sarhandi. The publication exhibits a collection of Bosnian War Posters which Daoud collected shortly after the conflict. The posters are arranged chronologically, with long captions, and it tells the story of Bosnia's war. Young people in Bosnia Herzegovina are particularly interested because they don't learn about the war in school – it's too recent, too raw, too politicised – and they want to learn about it so they can avoid the mistakes of their parents. Young Bosnians also want to see how people communicated before the internet. You can find out more about the book and the collection here: This is so relevant to what's happening in the Ukraine at the moment and the Baltic Triangle are already exhibiting art in venues to raise money for the Ukraine people who need it most. Read more about Daoud Sarhandi Read more about the Liverpool4Ukraine exhibition.

00:00 - Lightbulb moments. 03:20 - Dining out at the cinema and why Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a fantastic kung fu movie, with a more-grounded physicality in a universe where everyone has laser beams shooting out their eyes. 21:49 - What's bigger than Kris's lunchbox? Being a VIP. 25:42 - We've been spending lunch breaks playing Mazescape Labyrinthos from Devir. The premise is very simple - just find your way through a maze - but that's only the beginning, and the game builds and builds upon this idea to result in a satisfying solo experience. 33:44 - Imagine a crossword puzzle crossed with Scrabble; that's Wordscapes from Peoplefun Games. It's simple, light fun, testing and improving your vocabulary skills in a free-to-play mobile game where the hand of the monetiser is rarely felt (if you turn off the ads). 44:36 - A huge thank you to Mark (@lithiumproject) for sending us a question for this episode, which is: what are the best two player board/card games? All that, and taking a cup of tea hostage, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner). Links to where you can find us - StayingInPodcast.com Note: sometimes we'll have been sent a review copy of the thing we're talking about on the podcast. It doesn't skew how we think about that thing, and we don't receive compensation for anything we discuss, but we thought you might like to know this is the case.
The language of a land most effectively captures and communicates the worldview of its people. In ancient Bharat, Sanskrit was that medium that effectively encapsulated the breadth and depth of its civilisational aspirations in its basic sound structures, word-formations and syntactic expressions. Words like Dharma, embodying the CODE or the 'Collective Oath for Development and Excellence', represent the gold standards that generations strived to achieve concretely in every aspect of their individual and collective lives, leading to the enjoyment of a natural state of abhyudaya or prosperity, freedom in the material world, as well as nishreyasa or spiritual freedom at a personal level. This conversation is an attempt to decode the multi-layered thought-frames that are embedded in the wordscapes of this ancient and potent tongue.

How do pink cows, purple velvet shoes, and stone pillows help you beat the competition? Well, they probably don't. But creativity will. In this episode of Growth Masterminds, we chat with Lee Eisenhuth, who leads design at PeopleFun. They make games like Wordscapes. We also chat with Alice Guillaume, the Senior Director of Marketing at Applovin. She left a Wall Street job with Morgan Stanley to do something much more interesting: mobile marketing. We chat about: - magic in marketing - process - A/B testing - luck - what ads work for clicks, and what ads work for conversions, and why they're different ... and much more!

Anthem. Wordscapes. Red Dead Redemption 2. All the hits. Then things get weird, but only then.
This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Melissa Broder's novel "The Pisces," a story about a woman who falls in love with a merman. Then, inspired by the book, we talk about other unexpected romances/ surprising couples in literature. And as always, we close the show with recommendations: Chloe recommends Motherboard's internet-themed crossword puzzle "Solve The Internet." "It's really fun and they are a little bit easier than the New York Times crossword puzzles, so if you get stuck on the Wednesday puzzle like I do, turn to this one. It's so fun." Martha recommends the app Wordscapes, a word-based puzzle game. "I'm addicted to it!" MJ recommends "Queer Love In Color" a photo essay that ran in the New York Times for Pride Month that documents black queer couples. "It's just so beautiful. It has a beautiful message to it, the photos are gorgeous, and it's celebrating Pride and love, and you'll look at those photos and feel good."
