#49Yasmin Ali | The Energy Crisis Uncovered: Fossil Fuels, Renewables & The Future of PowerFollow Along on Instagram @PlantfuellednutritionWelcome back to Plant Fuelled! I'm your host, Callum Weir, and today we're diving into one of the most important, controversial, and misunderstood topics of our time—energy. From fossil fuels to renewables, from nuclear power to sustainability, we're breaking down what really powers our world and whether the solutions we're being sold are as effective as we think.To help us separate fact from fiction, I'm joined by Yasmin Ali—chemical engineer, energy expert, and author of Power Up. With first-hand experience working in both fossil fuel industries and renewable energy, Yasmin provides a balanced, science-backed look at the future of power—what works, what doesn't, and what comes next.⚡ Are Fossil Fuels Really the Enemy? – The truth about coal, oil, and gas, their role in society, and whether they are as evil as mainstream narratives suggest.
Summary In this episode of Five Minutes to Chaos, host Steven Kuhr interviews Dr. Yasmin Ali about her book detailing the Waverly train disaster of 1978. The conversation explores the chaotic emergency management landscape of the time, the personal experiences of Dr. Ali's family during the disaster, and the subsequent changes in regulations and the establishment of FEMA. The episode highlights the importance of disaster planning, community response, and the evolution of emergency management in the United States. Takeaways The Waverly train disaster had broad national consequences. Emergency management in 1978 was chaotic and uncoordinated. Dr. Ali's parents played a crucial role in the medical response. The hospital's disaster plan was pivotal in saving lives. FEMA was established as a direct result of the Waverly disaster. Regulatory changes in railroad safety emerged from the incident. The community response was vital, with citizens stepping up to help. Incident command systems were not in place during the disaster. The importance of disaster drills was highlighted by the recent simulation. The disaster led to significant changes in emergency management practices.

Most of us would be able to name our energy provider and probably a list of reasons we're annoyed with them, but when it comes to the hows and whos that get it to, say, our plug sockets, details can be a bit sketchy. Mick's been on the Zoom with Yasmin Ali, a chemical engineer dedicated to developing renewable energy projects and author of the book Power Up: An Engineer's Adventures into Sustainable Energy. All credit to Yasmin, who has taken a potentially dry and technical subject and made it a fascinating read. Although – spoiler alert – there are no easy answers to the looming energy crisis. And so, in this week's Chops, Mick and Yasmin are talking about the complicated answers, about how Yasmin's grounding in fossil fuels led her to hydrogen, her passion for (and optimism about) clean energy, why being born in Iraq made her love Norway, and why she's not watching Oppenheimer.

Segunda-feira, 27 de março de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e está no ar o oitavo episódio do Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. A realização do evento Podfest Global, os relatórios anuais das maiores pesquisas sobre podcast, o possível plágio do Baião de Dois da Central 3 e o vocalista do Coldplay participando de um podcast brasileiro estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta edição do Castnews! Notícias 01 – E vamos começar com uma notícia que tá acontecendo neste exato momento: a realização do evento online Podfest Global. A programação pré-evento já tá rolando desde o dia 22 (eu mesmo já assisti vários conteúdos semana passada), mas é hoje que ele começa oficialmente. O Podfest Global vai continuar esta semana toda com palestras online, reuniões e debates pertinentes pra podcasters, com participação de painelistas do mundo todo. Como o evento acontece de hoje até o dia 31 de março, depois que terminar de ouvir o Castnews você pode entrar no link da matéria no nosso portal e correr pra se inscrever no evento, que ainda dá tempo de pegar muito conteúdo interessante. Ah, sim, em inglês, ok? Ler a notícia completa 02 – Uma pergunta que é de interesse geral de todo produtor de podcast é: Como é que tá nosso mercado? No último mês foram divulgados os relatórios dos grupos Edison Research, Global, Statista e Triton Digital sobre consumo de podcast em nível mundial. Não é segredo pra ninguém que o podcast está em crescimento constante, mas é importante saber no que exatamente a mídia está crescendo. Alguns dos dados que todas as pesquisas tiveram em comum, são que pessoas de 12 a 34 anos representam 66% dos ouvintes nos Estados Unidos, e o número de ouvintes de podcast diminui à medida que a faixa etária aumenta – quanto mais velha a população, menos ouvintes de podcast. Só que em contrapartida, ouvintes que têm entre 13 e 24 anos estão sendo um público cada vez mais cativo do podcast, e vale mencionar aqui que é do podcast “tradicional”, aquele feito só em áudio. O consumo nessa faixa etária triplicou desde 2018; é a geração Z marcando presença como ouvinte de podcasts. E é claro que tem muito mais informação que foi compilada ao longo dessas pesquisas, e vale muito a pena conferir esses relatórios na íntegra lá no portal do Castnews. Ler a notícia completa 03 – Já é possível criar podcasts no YouTube. A notícia veio quase um mês depois da divulgação de que os podcasts iam entrar oficialmente pro YouTube Music. De acordo com o executivo Chris Stone, além da postagem característica e da possibilidade de ouvir os podcasts com a tela dos dispositivos apagada, também é possível monetizar podcasts da mesma forma que os vídeos normais são monetizados. Nos Estados Unidos, onde a novidade foi implantada primeiro, o YouTube já abocanhou o título de plataforma preferida dos ouvintes, desbancando o Spotify, o Apple Podcasts e o Pandora – o que faz bastante sentido se a gente considerar que nos Estados Unidos os mesacasts são MUITO populares. A previsão é de que os investimentos com anúncios em podcast cresçam 28% ao longo deste ano no YouTube, e nisso a gente tá falando de um orçamento de 2,25 bilhões de dólares. Ler a notícia completaLer a segunda notícia 04 – Na última semana também aconteceu uma situação que a gente que produz podcast sempre bate na mesma tecla pra não acontecer: um possível plágio do nome de um podcast que já existe. Eu mesmo vivo falando sobre isso, já falei em entrevista, já falei no Curso de Podcast… Você tem que pesquisar muito bem e tomar cuidado para não criar um podcast usando o mesmo nome de um programa que já exista. Embora isso pareça óbvio, às vezes não é, e isso pode gerar dor de cabeça. Foi o que aconteceu com o podcast Baião de Dois. Em um post no twitter, o Bruno Lemos compartilhou que um novo podcast lançado recentemente, está usando o mesmo nome e também A MESMA FONTE do título do podcast da Central 3. Se fosse uma fonte tipo ARIAL, mas não, é uma fonte bem específica, o que diminui muito a chance de ser uma simples coincidência. O Baião de Dois da Central 3 já está no ar desde 2016, trazendo conteúdos relacionados ao futebol e cultura nordestina. A Central 3 está tomando as devidas providências legais. Lá no post do portal tem o comparativo entre as identidades visuais dos dois podcasts, pra quem quiser ver por si mesmo. Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA 05 – Na semana passada, os avanços tecnológicos mais inovadores do último ano foram destaque na premiação South by Southwest®. A premiação reconhece as novas tecnologias mais legais e mais úteis do mundo em várias categorias, dentre elas a categoria “áudio”, que foca nos projetos relacionados a som e música. E quem levou o prêmio esse ano foi a empresa Nomono, com a sua Sound Capsule. O Nomono Sound Capsule é um kit de gravação autônomo projetado especialmente para podcasters profissionais e jornalistas de transmissão. Ele inclui um gravador habilitado pra Wi-Fi e quatro microfones de lapela sem fio com áudio espacial de 360 graus. O Capsule também se conecta ao Nomono Cloud, a ferramenta onde os criadores de conteúdo podem fazer backup de suas gravações, colaborar em equipe, e processar o áudio com inteligência artificial para garantir a melhor qualidade possível antes da edição. Ler a notícia completa 06 – Você quer se comunicar melhor na internet? Tem algum projeto pra desenvolver nas internets e quer cativar de verdade seu público? Então a gente tem uma novidade bem legal pra você. O podcast Não Inviabilize anunciou na última semana que está patrocinando o curso “Comunique-se Bem”, ministrado pela Maristela Rosa, jornalista e mestre em comunicação. O curso está sendo publicado de forma totalmente gratuita no YouTube, 4 vezes por mês no formato de vídeo-aula, e 1 vez por mês em live, onde a Maristela vai interagir com os alunos e tirar dúvidas. As duas primeiras aulas já estão disponíveis no YouTube, e o curso vai ser postado o ano inteiro. Confere lá que é um conteúdo não só muito legal, mas também muito necessário em tempos que tem tanta gente falando groselha na internet. Ler a notícia completa E MAIS 07 – Por falar em gente falando abobrinha na internet, isso acontece com tanta frequência que às vezes dá até a impressão que a internet é terra de ninguém, mas não é bem assim. A Aline Hack, nossa colunista multitarefa que além de podcaster também é advogada, lançou um post sobre como agir e buscar ajuda quando você é alvo de ofensas digitais. Afinal de contas ninguém tem que ficar calado quando tá sendo injustiçado, seja na internet ou fora dela. Internet não é terra de ninguém, é terra de todo mundo. Ler a notícia completa 08 – Essa semana marcou o início do Ramadã, o nono mês do calendário islâmico, época de rejuvenescimento espiritual, humildade e união. Em homenagem ao período, o Spotify compilou palestras em áudio, músicas, podcasts e outros conteúdos significativos sobre o Ramadã, para disponibilizar esse conteúdo às famílias e comunidades ao redor do mundo que estão se reunindo para observar, orar e celebrar. O tópico personalizado está na lista de reprodução “Your Ramadan 2023”, que aparece já em destaque para países com grande população islâmica. Ler a notícia completa HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 09 – O vocalista do Coldplay, Chris Martin, participou de um podcast brasileiro enquanto a banda está em turnê pelo Brasil. O Venus Podcast, apresentado pela Criss Paiva e pela Yasmin Ali, recebeu o cantor na última terça-feira para um bate-papo sobre a trajetória da banda, a configuração dos shows, o plano ecológico do Coldplay e, é claro, sobre o que ele está achando dos shows pelo Brasil. O papo bilíngue pode ser conferido na íntegra no YouTube. Ler a notícia completa 10 – E o podcast Praia dos Ossos, feito pela Branca Vianna para a Rádio Novelo, vai virar série na Amazon Prime Video. De acordo com o que foi compartilhado pelo CineBuzz, a pesquisa da Branca foi fundamental pra produção da série, que vai mostrar toda a trajetória da socialite carioca Ângela Diniz até ser assassinada pelo empresário Doca Street em 1976. Até agora sabemos pouco da série, mas já foi divulgado que ela terá 6 episódios, será dirigida por Andrucha Waddington e estrelada pela atriz Marjorie Estiano. Ler a notícia completa SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 – A Sennheiser, fabricante de fones de ouvido e microfones, está lançando um novo microfone condensador que promete ser ideal para streaming e podcasting. O microfone Profile USB é construído a partir da cápsula condensadora KE10 e alimentado por uma entrada USB-C ao invés de uma XLR. O Profile também têm controles de ganho, mixagem e volume que eliminam a necessidade de uma interface de áudio. O microfone está sendo vendido a 129 euros na Europa. Por enquanto, não temos previsão de lançamento e preço no Brasil, mas assim que tivermos, você ficará sabendo aqui no Castnews. Ler a notícia completa 12 – No dia 12 de março, foi ao ar o primeiro episódio de “Janipapo 200 Anos”, um podcast que conta a história da Batalha de Jenipapo, uma das mais violentas do Brasil. O podcast vai ter 6 episódios apresentados pela jornalista Cinthia Lages. Em cada um dos episódios, ela vai entrevistar convidados especialistas no assunto, que vão trazer recortes nunca antes abordados sobre a Batalha de Jenipapo. No primeiro episódio, o historiador da Universidade Federal do Piauí Johny Santana comentou sobre os acontecimentos que acabaram levando ao embate. O podcast tá tão bacana que a distribuição dele vai ser focada nas rádios e escolas, apoiado pela Secretaria de Estado da Cultura. Vale a pena conferir. Ler a notícia completa RECOMENDAÇÕES NACIONAIS: 12 – Aproveitando que ainda estamos no mês das mulheres, a recomendação dessa semana é de um podcast em que toda a equipe de produção é feminina, desde a pré-produção até a distribuição. Eu estou falando do Ladies That UX em Português, apresentado pela Livia Gabos e pela Vania Teofilo. O podcast promove conversas entre as hosts e as convidadas sobre a carreira em user experience e outros conteúdos relevantes para mulheres que trabalham na área.
