APWW #452 Produced by Ned Sublette in 2005

This episode is an absolute cracker! And we can say that as we've got outsider help... We've all been involved with patients where securing the airway with a prehospital anaesthetic feels intuitively right; the patient with a severe head injury after a fall from height, the unrestrained driver in a high-speed collision with devastating chest injuries, or the patient with significant maxillofacial trauma following assault. In these situations, advanced airway management appears clearly beneficial. What remains a bit ambiguous is the effect of that intervention. Does it play out into a mortality benefit and if so how should we redesign systems to meet a 24 hour need for this (with many prehospital critical care services not being available fully around the clock), bearing in mind competing financial priorities for optimum health care. Maybe it's okay that for some patients the anaesthetic is delayed to the Emergency Department? Worldwide, trauma accounts for an estimated 4.4 million deaths annually and carries a substantial economic burden. Despite decades of improvements in trauma systems, medications such as tranexamic acid, and the development of prehospital critical care teams, some key aspects of trauma care remain really difficult to study well. Prehospital emergency anaesthesia is a prime example. It is time-critical, ethically complex, highly operator dependent and almost impossible to study using conventional randomised trial designs. As a result, clinicians have largely been forced to rely on observational studies, despite the well-recognised problems of bias and confounding that accompany them. In this episode, we explore the existing evidence base and then focus on a landmark new study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. This paper applies machine-learning techniques to a large UK trauma dataset to address the question; does prehospital intubation improve survival in patients who are predicted to need early airway intervention? We walk through how the authors developed a predictive model to identify high-risk patients, how doubly robust estimation was used to move beyond simple association, and how survival and health-economic outcomes were assessed. The results suggest a clinically meaningful reduction in 30-day mortality for selected high-risk trauma patients who receive prehospital intubation. And we're then joined by two of the study's authors, Amy Nelson and Julian Thompson. Together, we explore what these findings may mean for the future of prehospital emergency anaesthesia, how we should think about evidence in complex emergency care environments, and whether this type of analytical approach could reshape trauma research more broadly. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, dominated headlines this week with his explosive Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. According to ABC News, he brought Puerto Rican culture front and center, opening with "Tití Me Preguntó" amid a sugar cane field scene, then crashing through a market roof set for "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" and "NUEVAYoL." Dressed in an all-white jersey emblazoned with "Ocasio," he waved a Puerto Rican flag, handed a Grammy to a young boy on stage symbolizing immigrant dreams, and closed with fireworks during "DtMF."CBS News reports guest stars lit up the performance: Lady Gaga in a salsa twist on "Die with a Smile," Ricky Martin on "Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii," plus Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, and Pedro Pascal. The setlist, per Business Insider, pulled from hits like "Yo Perreo Sola," "Safaera," "Party," "Monaco," "El Apagón," and tracks from his Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the first all-Spanish project to snag Album of the Year just a week prior.The show marked history as the first primarily Spanish-language halftime spectacle, sparking massive buzz. Apple Music data shows Bad Bunny listens spiked 7x post-show, with "DtMF," "BAILE INoLVIDABLE," and "Tití Me Preguntó" topping streams; lyrics views for "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" surged 119% in the US. It even featured a real wedding officiated onstage, as a Bad Bunny rep confirmed to the Associated Press.Reactions poured in. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hailed him as one of the world's great artists, but President Trump blasted it on Truth Social as "absolutely terrible" and "disgusting," per CBS News, amid Bad Bunny's prior ICE critiques in his Grammy speech. Conservative group Turning Point USA countered with a Kid Rock stream.Social media and music sites buzz with his global impact, from Shazam surges to tour announcements like Barcelona dates in May. This performance cements Bad Bunny's reign, blending reggaeton, plena, and personal storytelling.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

In an hour where we make a strong & long pitch to make Andrew McCutchen a Cardinal, we also find out from Jack Posobiec that the TPUSA halftime show was the #1 US livestream of all time and #2 worldwide.

Turning Point USA celebrates over 20 million views and counting, while the liberal media gushes over a halftime show that even non-Spanish speaking liberals didn't understand. The legacy media rolls out fake reports of who exactly is getting deported, and they really think Americans don't understand what a crime is. Plus, big cities going broke, a local teen killed by an illegal and it gets zero media coverage, truckers will now need to know English and be legal to drive, and more.

This week, Alex is joined by the "Mr. Worldwide" of Marvel Snap: Dara! They kick things off with a life update, discussing Dara's move from NYC to Australia and now Thailand, living the $3 Bolt ride life while navigating a 12-hour time difference.They dive straight into the Star-Lord Season Pass review. While Alex thinks it's a solid 4-Star card, Dara drops a massive hot take: Star-Lord might be better than Shou-Lao due to his insane synergy with Fin Fang Foom and Grandmaster.Then, they roast the Super Premium card, Magus, agreeing it is "Toxic Doxy" levels of bad and a hard skip (1 Star). They also review Moon Dragon, deciding it's a "Doom 2099" dependent card that falls flat if not played on Turn 2. On the flip side, Dara claims Drax (Avatar of Life) is the best non-Season Pass card of the month, praising its ability to counter Ramp decks.Finally, they open the Mailbag to discuss a wholesome community letter and debate a spicy game design question: Should Marvel Snap introduce a 5-Turn Game Mode to create a true Aggro meta? Plus, a heavy dose of nostalgia as they reminisce about Warcraft III tower rushes and the "Golden Era" of Blizzard.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Dara as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

The Harlem Renaissance was a vibrant 1920s-1930s Black cultural movement centered in Harlem, a hub for African American creativity, literature (Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston), music (jazz, blues), and art (Aaron Douglas), fueled by the Great Migration and a desire to redefine Black identity that forged a new sense of Black Pride. In this program, we hear less well known artists such as James (“Big Jim”) Reese Europe who led an orchestra of 120 musicians. We also hear iconic songs of the era including Fats Waller's “Ain't Misbehavin'”, Mamie Smith's massive 1920 hit “Crazy Blues,” Cab Colloway's “St. James Infirmary” and more. Along the way, we'll enjoy the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra featuring Louis Armstrong on trumpet and vocals and Coleman Hawkins on sax, Ethel Waters, James P. Johnson, and Willie the Lion Smith. Harlem also drew the top Cuban orchestras who came to New York by steamship to record, calyso singers, and Haitian vodou music and theater. Harlem was famous for its rent parties and a wide open attitude to defying Prohibition where revelers danced to the shimmy, the black bottom, and the Charleston from down south. Relive the glory!

WORLDWIDE ANXIETY:Do you find yourself wondering what is going to happen next?You are not the only person who has that question echoing in their mind. Billions of people are feeling this way around the world.Instability creates anxiety and uncertainty causes worry.That's why the price of gold has been shooting upwards like a bottle rocket on the Fourth of July.The stock exchange is a short-term barometer of American investor confidence.The price of gold is a long-term barometer of the entire world's confidence in the future.Gold was $265 an ounce in the year 2000.It had climbed to $1,185 an ounce by 2013 as people all over the world began to bicker at ever higher levels of intensity.Driven by concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of gold exceeded $2,000 an ounce for the first time in history on August 4, 2020.Gold climbed to more than $3,000 an ounce on March 14, 2025 as the world grew anxious about “trade war tensions” according to Business Insider.Just seven months later – on October 8, 2025 – gold exceeded $4,000 an ounce. Reuters said the reason was “geopolitical and economic uncertainty.”That was less than 4 months ago.At the time of this writing – Wednesday, January 28, 2026 – gold is at $5,565.40 per ounce.Did you realize that the price of gold has climbed from $3000/ounce to $5,565/ounce in less than 11 months?Instability creates anxiety and uncertainty causes worry.The price of gold rises as the world gets nervous and consumer confidence falls.Uncertain about the future, people are becoming increasingly hesitant to spend money.LOCAL OPPORTUNITY:When their sales volume falls below last year's sales volume, the first reaction of most business owners is to blame the marketing team. Their second reaction is to reduce their advertising, lay off some people, and hunker down.This creates an amazing opportunity for courageous business owners to grow their market share. Your ads stand out when your competitors go silent.Selling is a transfer of confidence. When the customer doesn't have confidence that today is the right day, or that your price is the right price, or that your company is the right company to trust, your only option is to transfer your confidence to them.When you have successfully transferred your confidence to your customer, they will know that today is the right day, your price is the right price, and your company is the company to trust.But this takes1. a convincing message2. rock-solid courage3. staying power.Do you have the financial staying power to win droves of new customers when margins are shrinking? More importantly, do you have the emotional staying power?I believe that 2026 will be a year of anxiety and opportunity. You can duck and cover, or you can reach upward and rise.You cannot change your circumstances, but you can change your actions.Will you shrink, or will you rise?Roy H. WilliamsHere's a Little Tidbit of News for You: the wizard has been handsomely paid to appear in a new movie about the global economy and his book “Pendulum” that he wrote in 2012. That movie will be shown in movie theaters across America, but only to private audiences. Roy said to the producer,“The Pendulum of western society does NOT predict the economy. It predicts ONLY that society will fracture and social violence will escalate for a period of ten years as we approach the zenith of a ‘WE', which happened in 2023. Then it will slowly subside for the next ten years....

Peatlands don't get the attention they deserve. Worldwide, these wetlands provide crucial ecosystem services. They are vital for Indigenous livelihoods and as carbon storage powerhouses. Canada has some of the world's largest remaining intact peatlands. Now, WCS Canada has a new national strategy to safeguard them before it's too late.  Reporting: Dan Rosen Guest: Victoria Goodday

In this episode, we explore the remarkable life and experiences of Kewaunee Lapseritis, a researcher whose connection to Sasquatch spans more than seventy years. Beginning in the forests of western Massachusetts and extending across the Scottish Highlands, Indigenous lands in Wisconsin, and the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, Kewaunee recounts a lifetime shaped by repeated encounters in some of the world's most remote landscapes.Drawing from decades of travel and field experience, Kewaunee describes how certain locations remain active over time and why geography appears to play a critical role in ongoing Sasquatch encounters. He shares how these experiences followed him across continents and how patterns emerged long before Sasquatch became a mainstream topic of discussion.Kewaunee's account challenges traditional views of the phenomenon while offering a perspective shaped by long-term exposure rather than isolated sightings. Join us as we trace a global path of encounters and explore how seventy years of experience continues to shape one of the most unusual stories in Sasquatch research.Resources: Contact Kewaunee509-590-0415sasquatchpeople@hotmail.comhttps://sasquatchpeople.com/Buy his books here (Amazon affiliate links that help support the podcast)The Sasquatch People and their Interdimensional Connection - https://amzn.to/3Lt6Cb9The Psychic Sasquatch and their UFO Connection - https://amzn.to/4sZh9Ma

Today’s episode of Ask the Doctor was hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton. Ask the Doctor is the longest-running live, syndicated medical talk show in the United States, broadcasting coast-to-coast for over 33 years. We opened the show discussing the massive global whey protein shortage. Whey protein is extremely difficult to obtain worldwide due to increased demand from patients using GLP-1 receptor drugs, who are being advised to consume higher protein intake to prevent muscle loss. In addition, major corporations such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ have purchased large quantities of whey protein for functional and sports drinks. Because of this shortage, Fortifeye Fit Pro is currently on backorder, though other Fortifeye whey protein products remain available, and we are actively working to secure supply. We then discussed black currant seed oil and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and why GLA may be a missing fatty acid in the modern diet. Fortifeye now offers Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA in a 90-count bottle. GLA helps support dry eye by stimulating Series-1 prostaglandins, which play an important role in controlling inflammation. Dr. Lange reviewed his clinical experience using Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy, which combines: • Fortifeye Super Omega (RTG-form omega-3) • Fortifeye Focus • Fortifeye Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA This three-supplement combination has been very effective in helping reduce dry eye symptoms and improve overall ocular comfort. We also discussed the end of the BOGO on Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein. While the BOGO promotion has ended, this remains one of the top vegan proteins on the market, offering an amino acid profile comparable to whey protein, outstanding taste, and three delicious flavors. In addition, we covered exciting new research on carotenoids including lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. These nutrients may help lower triglycerides and cholesterol, support brain health and mood, and may even help with depression. These carotenoids are beneficial for children and adults, supporting not only eye health but systemic and cognitive health as well. All three carotenoids are found together in Fortifeye Focus. We explained what photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) is and how it works. PBM uses specific wavelengths of low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate mitochondrial function, increase cellular energy (ATP), improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. As more companies bring this technology to market, increased competition is expected to drive costs down, making this promising therapy more accessible to patients. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton shared their enthusiasm for photobiomodulation therapy as a supportive treatment option for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eye disease. Dr. Kane has noted that when diet and supplementation are optimized, this technology may work even more effectively, reinforcing the importance of combining advanced technology with proper nutrition. Dr. Summerton also weighed in on chelation therapy, explaining how reducing toxic metal burden and oxidative stress may further support cellular health, circulation, and inflammation control. When used appropriately and combined with nutrition and lifestyle optimization, chelation therapy may enhance overall systemic and ocular health. An important discussion followed on the often-overlooked connection between dry eye disease and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Dr. Lange explained that many patients with both conditions commonly share deficiencies in: • Magnesium • Potassium • Sodium chloride • Omega-3 fatty acids • Hydration These deficiencies may contribute to inflammation, nerve dysfunction, poor tear quality, impaired circulation, and cardiac rhythm instability.

Sierra Leone has deep reserves of resilience, and an ability to come together and overcome great obstacles embedded in its culture. To provide the kind of history that is all too often overlooked when reporting on current events on the African continent, we are encoring this Hip Deep episode, which explores the nation's past. When Sierra Leone gained independence in 1961, Freetown swayed to the beguiling, breezy lilt of palm wine guitar and danced to the funky pop of Geraldo Pino and the Heartbeats. Once a center of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Sierra Leone became an improbable amalgamation of indigenous peoples and repatriated Africans freed from slavery. Thirty years of political and economic disintegration led to a horrific civil war that claimed tens of thousands of victims and created a generation of maimed bodies and ruined lives between 1991 and 2002. A significant portion of the violence was internal, with community members and sometimes children taking up arms against each other. Following the conflict, efforts to restore peace included truth and reconciliation programs aimed at strengthening social ties. This episode profiles the inspiring story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, a band formed in war-era refugee camps in Guinea. The band played a key role in giving citizens the courage to return home, and now, along with other young musicians in Freetown, attempt to pick up where others left off before the war. Produced by Simon Rentner with Wills Glasspiegel. APWW PGM #552 Originally broadcast in 2008

In the face of widespread protests, the Iranian government ‘switched off' the country's access to the internet on 8th January. In Uganda, prior to recent elections, the government of president Yoweri Museveni prevented its citizens from accessing the internet. Worldwide, Afghanistan, Myanmar, India and Bangladesh – to name only a few - have all taken the decision to severely restrict internet access at times of perceived political crisis or challenge. Yet it was only fifteen years ago, during the Arab Spring, that internet access and digital media were seen as game-changing communications tools for democratisation. Now, how vulnerable is protest and political opposition to being taken offline? This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi.
