On this week's episode of Battle Lines Global Health Security, international photojournalist Simon Townsley joins Arthur Scott-Geddes and Sophie O'Sullivan to share his most memorable photographs of 2025.

This year alone, Simon has traveled to Sierra Leone, Guyana, Sudan, Chad, Zambia, Honduras, Kazakhstan, and Burundi.

The Morning Espresso opens with a major conversation in MLS as the Colorado Rapids put their identity in the hands of supporters, launching a fan-driven process that could shape the club's future ahead of a pivotal 2026. From there, we turn to a busy Domestic Focus, with NWSL news headlined by Catarina Macario's contract situation, stadium momentum for Denver Summit FC, rising club valuations, and continued investment in young talent across the league.Globally, AFCON delivers late drama and early statements, with Zambia rescuing a point, South Africa breaking a long opening-day drought, and Egypt leaning on Mohamed Salah once again. We also check in on Real Madrid's uneasy calm... maybe the telenovela is taking a break for the holidays. 

In episode 2 duiken we in het attractieve spel van **Zuid-Afrika onder Hugo Broos**, dat tegen **Angola** niet alleen plezier bracht, maar ook perfect de bijzondere evolutie van het land als voetballand toont.**Egypte** kwam met de schrik vrij: dankzij **Mohamed Salah** en **Omar Marmoush** trokken ze de wedstrijd naar zich toe tegen **Zimbabwe**.Ook de **teleurstelling van Mali** komt aan bod, dat ondanks hoge verwachtingen niet verder raakte dan een **1-1 tegen Zambia**.Aan tafel deze aflevering: **guest Sherjill MacDonald**, met **Brian** als host en **Alex** als co-host. We sluiten af met een vooruitblik op **Congo** en Alex? Die is nu al helemaal **hyped!**

Welcome to episode 123 of The Journey Is the Reward!We're back to our regularly scheduled programming—or, as we like to call it, our regularly scheduled flight plan—as we track Brian's recent trip to the frigid but fabulous state of Minnesota. His itinerary was packed: he attended an unforgettable concert by the legendary Sir Paul McCartney and spent time performing essential Uncle Duties with his niece in St. Paul.But first, let's check the cargo hold for some listener mail!·       Listener Sharon wrote in, asking us to rewind the tape and explain how we got into this crazy, sometimes turbulent podcasting business.·       Chef Kathy sent in an audio file where she was in utter amazement that Brian, somehow, someway, has never heard of Dubai chocolate. (We'll address this serious gap in his culinary education.)·       And Listener Lu is back with a pressing question about United's new flights to Europe, specifically asking if we would personally dare to fly across the pond in a single-aisle 737.For the main event, Micah asks Brian about his flights to Minneapolis, which, let's just say, involved a couple of unexpected "holding patterns" (a.k.a., delays) with stops in Denver. Tune in to hear all the issues and details from his bumpy journey, followed by his smooth landing into the unforgettable Sir Paul McCartney concert.Finally, after the bright lights of the stadium, Uncle Brian happily put in some work on the ground, helping his niece with some necessary yard work at her new home purchase.And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

What is a call? How does a person know if God is calling them to mission service? Join in a discussion as these and other questions are addressed.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash welcomes Robbie Kroger, founder and Executive Director of The Origins Foundation, for an in-depth conversation about hunting advocacy, wildlife conservation and the sustainable use model that's shaping the future of global conservation efforts.Guest Expertise: From Wetland Scientist to Conservation AdvocateRobbie Kroger brings an unconventional background to hunting advocacy. With a PhD in wetland ecology and aquatic biogeochemistry from the University of Mississippi, six years as a professor in the Wildlife Fisheries Department at Mississippi State and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, Robbie served as chief scientist for the BP oil spill restoration framework. His science-based, measured approach to communication sets The Origins Foundation apart in the hunting advocacy space.What You'll Learn: Reframing the Conservation ConversationDiscover how The Origins Foundation communicates with non-hunters (not anti-hunters) using honesty, respect and scientific reasoning rather than emotional arguments. Robbie explains why sustainable use of wildlife isn't a silver bullet but rather one of only seven critical tools in the limited conservation toolbox. Learn why value-based wildlife management - whether protecting elephant habitat in Africa or managing wolf populations in the American West - creates incentives for local communities to coexist with wildlife rather than eliminate it.Featured Conservation Projects: Global Impact Through ActionRobbie details the world's largest cheetah relocation project, having moved 17 cheetahs into 500,000 acres of Mozambique habitat buffered by 10 million acres of protected land, with three more relocations planned for 2026. Hear about upcoming documentaries including "Sauvons Bambi" (debuting June 2026 in Paris) about European hunters using thermal drones to save roe deer fawns from farm equipment and "In My Footsteps" profiling the first scholarship recipient from a South African hunting charity who became a successful architect. The Foundation is also building schools and clinics in South Africa and Zambia while working on rhino and lion conservation initiatives.Public Lands and Management Philosophy InsightsDrawing on his experience growing up under South Africa's private wildlife ownership model, Robbie contrasts it with America's revolutionary public trust doctrine where wildlife belongs to everyone. He discusses the chronic underfunding of agencies like USFS, USFWS and BLM, arguing that public-private partnerships, biodiversity credits and creative funding models could dramatically improve stewardship. The conversation explores complex topics like fair chase ethics, social media responsibility for hunters and anglers, wolf management controversies and why both sides being upset with you often means you've found the right position.Join the ConversationThe Origins Foundation actively engages with supporters across all social media platforms, typically with Robbie responding personally to messages. Whether attending major hunting shows from Wild Sheep Foundation to Safari Club International or meeting supporters for roadside coffee in Australia, the Foundation maintains an accessible, ego-free approach focused on lifting up the entire conservation community rather than self-promotion.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Justin Mulenga, Diamond TV correspondent, about Zambia’s Parliament backing proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the country’s next general election. The move is being presented as a step toward strengthening governance and modernising the country’s founding legal framework, often seen as a sign of a maturing democracy. However, the timing of the amendments has sparked debate about political motives, electoral implications, and their broader impact on democratic practice in the region. Mulenga provides on-the-ground insight into what is driving the changes and why they matter not only for Zambians, but for the future of democracy in Southern Africa. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode, we explore how TRANSFORM has helped promote a ‘culture of social protection' across Africa, shaping how civil servants approach their roles and how institutions adapt to address lifecycle challenges using TRANSFORM's building-block methodology. The conversations highlight the initiative's leadership effects and its influence at national and sub-national levels, while also examining how it has supported the integration of social protection into the priorities of the African regional bodies and governments. This is the second of the three-part TRANSFORM Podcast Series, which will present the initiative's achievements 10 years since its inception through conversations with guests from the continent. In case you missed the first episode of the TRANSFORM series, you can access it here: Ep. 1 | Social Protection Capacity Building in Africa: 10 Years of TRANSFORM Hosted by Abidemi Coker, a passionate TRANSFORM Master Trainer.

In this bonus episode, Ghost takes listeners on a rapid-fire tour of Africa's escalating conflicts and how they tie directly into Trump's newly released National Security Strategy. He breaks down the Thai–Cambodian border clashes happening in real time as he reads the document, then pivots to major developments across Africa, Burundi and Rwanda trading accusations after bombings, the M23 rebel advance in the DRC, and the strategic fight for rare earth minerals that underpin global power. Ghost walks through maps, troop movements, rebel-backed offensives, and the growing involvement of regional players including Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and the U.S. He also analyzes the attempted coup in Benin, Nigeria's controversial intervention, and the Sahel alliance's warning that their air defenses are now on high alert. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects each flashpoint to the broader global conflict playing out in Ukraine, Venezuela, and beyond, arguing that Africa has become a central front in the worldwide struggle between sovereign nations and globalist powers. A dense, immersive, high-signal briefing from start to finish.  

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

To continue our month of episodes from the Radio Workshop archives, we're revisiting a story from last year.Oliver grew up in Kabwe, Zambia. Nearly a century of lead mining has poisoned Kabwe's land, air, and water, making it one of the world's most toxic towns. Now Oliver is watching a new mining boom sweep across his country, this time for minerals that power clean energy. He faces an impossible choice: fight the industry, or join it to change it from within?Now 19 and a student at Copperbelt University, Oliver is determined to change the industry from the inside out. As Zambia rapidly expands copper exports, he says: "Mining is so important for our country, but we need good policies and practices for it to benefit us and not harm the environment."

I appreciated her different perspectives and it was a conversation that made me, and I hope you, step back and reflect more deeply on our own contexts. Today's show is also with an international school leader, and, again, will offer some different (and not so different) perspectives to help us think.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

Welcome to episode 122 of The Journey Is the Reward!Hold onto your tray tables, folks, because in this episode, we're not just flying—we're doing a full 180-degree turn on our usual format! We've deployed the flaps for a fresh introduction, and Brian takes the controls to interrogate (er, interview) Micah about his recent aerial journey from Portland, Maine, all the way to Philadelphia for a very important mission: attending his niece's wedding. But first, we're diving into the mailbag! Listener Murilo sent in an audio message wanting the full story behind why your host refuses to check a bag—is it a matter of principle or just an overly large carry-on? Then, Listener Peter details a mid-flight issue with his seating assignment, asking for our expert guidance on how we would have navigated the turbulence of that awkward situation. For the main event, we get all the from Micah's trek on American Airlines, dissecting the journey from the tarmac to his landing at the Marriott Residence Inn.  We also cover his ground haul to the wedding venue, including a key fuel stop to catch a football game. Micah took a deliberate detour to a local kosher deli, and the food was so utterly divine, it completely ruined his dining experience at the swanky Chase Sapphire Lounge. And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

In this uplifting and adventure-packed episode, Elisabeth sits down with Joy Owens, a woman whose life has been shaped by faith, curiosity, and a deep love for exploring the world.Joy shares her extraordinary childhood as a missionary kid, moving from the U.S. to Zambia at age 13, where she grew up surrounded by community, culture, and the wide-open beauty of Africa. Her passion for people and education took her across continents, working as a teacher in Germany, Portugal, and Honduras, before an unexpected twist of fate and a love story brought her to Taiwan, where she met her husband.From there, Joy's path led to Alaska, where teaching proved far more challenging than expected. Feeling burnt out and ready for a new purpose, she and her husband prayed for guidance… and found it in the form of a bold leap: buying Butler Travel and stepping fully into a new season of growth, service, and discovery.In this inspiring conversation, Joy shares:✨ Growing up in Zambia as a missionary kid✨ Teaching around the world and how each country shaped her✨ Meeting her husband in Taiwan and starting their shared journey✨ The unexpected challenges of teaching in Alaska✨ How prayer and faith led them to purchase Butler Travel✨ Her adventures across 60+ countries✨ A family cycling trip through Austria and Hungary✨ The hilarious story of planning a road trip through all of Central & South America… but only making it to Panama!Joy's story is a reminder that life unfolds beautifully when we follow our curiosity, trust our calling, and stay open to new beginnings.

Power Quote: “What's the point if I'm not willing to grow?”Teaser:As you will hear, I began my teaching career overseas through a serious of serendipitous events. For reasons I myself don't fully understand, I've been feeling the echoes of international education on my thoughts, so I decided to listen and invite on some international school leaders. We can certainly learn a lot from people who work in the same context as we do, and we can learn a lot from people work in very different contexts, who bring different perspectives. No matter what your leadership context is, there are some great takeaways from today's show. This is a lively and enjoyable conversation – I guarantee you will smile. So I invite you to sit back, listen, and laugh with me…Sponsor Spot 1:If you or your teachers have been thinking about planning a student trip, but don't really know where to start, Kaleidoscope Adventures has you covered!Kaleidoscope Adventures has been planning exceptional educational travel for more than 30 years.

Today's conversation was recorded on-site at the 2025 General Assembly of Airlinepros International in Cape Town, South Africa. I'm joined by the CEO of the Zambia Tourism Agency, Matongo Matamwandi, who shares why aviation and tourism are natural partners—and how platforms like this one are essential for strengthening public–private collaboration to deliver exceptional travel experiences and build a thriving ecosystem. He also offers a refreshingly unconventional perspective on sustainability and provides an in-depth reflection on Zambia's tourism performance over the past year.  

Barry and Abigail discuss Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and sample Wild Dog – Pale Ale and Wild Dog – Shempa Ale from Tiemann Beer in Lusaka, Zambia; Strawberry Rhubarb from New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, Wisconsin; Coconut Key Lime Pie Drips and Mischievous Grin from Barn Town Brewing in West Des Moines, Iowa; and Gallo / Famosa from Cervecería Centro Americana in Guatemala City, Guatemala.Read about how the Money for Nothing music video came to be, or watch the video.We first sampled New Glarus on our season 4 Christmas episode, Christmas Beers (Straight No Chaser and Gifted Beers).Barry pointed out that Walk of Life references other songs, and Abigail compared it to American Pie by Don McLean.Abigail formally retracted a fun “fact” she had previously shared on the podcast regarding artificial banana flavoring being based on the Gros Michel banana instead of the Cavendish banana, which is the most common banana cultivar eaten today. The 2013 SciShow video where she first learned this false fact has since been edited to remove any reference to this hypothesis but points to this article that explains the hypothesis. This Hank Green video first brought the debunking of this hypothesis to Abigail's attention.We first sampled Barn Town on our season 4 episode Barntown (Phish and Barn Town Brewery).Abigail called Why Worry an “adult lullaby,” similar to Calm Down by Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons. She then entered Why Worry into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Little April Shower from Bambi (1942). She also brought up Baby Genius by Eels as having instrumental similarities. Barry mentioned Rain by Hans Zimmer from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002). The “vibes” in the personnel list likely refers to the vibraphone, which could very well have produced the rain sounds in Why Worry.Abigail asked if Mischievous Grin would count as a “cream tangerine” (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!).Barry had heard that the three war songs on this album were inspired by the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom that lasted for a little over two months in 1982. Abigail had always pictured the Vietnam War, partly because of the imagery in Ride Across the River, and partly because Abigail's consumption of war media was heavily influenced by The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a novel about the Vietnam War.While discussing The Man's Too Strong, Abigail referenced an in-character speech by comedian and professional Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan.Up next… Version 2.0 by Garbage, Abigail's annual Phone-a-Friend submission, this time with Carlo “from Canada” Sgro, the namesake of Carlo's Corner!Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 28th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Leviticus 3:1:‘When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering…” Then we go straight to the New Testament in the Gospel of John 14:27. Jesus says: ”Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“ The dove, the symbol of peace. It symbolises peace and also new beginnings. If we remember Noah's Ark when the whole world was flooded, the dove returned when the rain stopped, after everything had settled, with an olive branch in it's beak, signifying the end of the flood and new life and new beginnings. Yes, the dove is also the symbol of the Holy Spirit. At Jesus' baptism, at the Jordan river, remember, the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and settled on the Lord. The dove represents reconciliation, mom, dad, brother, sister, reconciliation between God and man. If we look at Matthew 5:9: ”Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.” We named this farm that we are on at the moment “Shalom” and we named it almost fifty years ago. When we arrived with our truck and trailer from Zambia, with our little children, they were just babies. I will never forget, I'd come home for a bit of lunch, in those days there were no cellphones, we had the old crank system on the telephones, two shorts, one long! Do you remember that? Yes, the older people do, the younger people have no idea. We got a phone call from the Deeds Office in Pretoria. They said, ”We have just approved the subdivision of your farm; we need a new name.” I shouted through to the bedroom, ”Jill, I've got the Deeds Office on the phone. They need a name for the farm.” This was before we became Christians. "Give us a name quickly, any name.” I heard that beautiful voice come through and say, ”Call it Shalom.” I said to the Deeds Office, ”The name is Shalom.” And those of you who know us well will agree that the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ has really blessed many multitudes on this farm. His name is Jesus, the Prince of Peace.Have a wonderful day and go out and sow peace.Goodbye.

What happens when a dream is so big, so audacious, that you commit to it long before you have the skills, money, or confidence to make it happen? For Paula Ralph, that dream was to cycle from Cape Town, South Africa to Nordkapp, Norway— a 12,290 km journey across 17 countries. What began as a Guinness World Record attempt soon transformed into something far more powerful: a test of courage, resilience, and self-belief. Paula set off with one goal — to become the fastest woman to complete the route. But along the way, reality hit hard. Injuries, financial setbacks, fear, loneliness, and a traumatic collision with a truck in Zambia forced her to confront a heartbreaking truth: the record might no longer be possible. At this crossroads, Paula had a choice — stop, or redefine what success looked like. She chose to keep going. In this episode, Paula shares the raw truth behind the miles: the moments of doubt, the joy of human connection, the quiet sunrises that kept her pedalling, and the inner strength she discovered when everything else was stripped away. Her story is not just about endurance on a bike — it's about holding on to your "why" when the original plan falls apart. If you've ever had a dream that felt too big, or found yourself at the edge of giving up, Paula's journey will remind you that progress isn't always measured in records — sometimes it's measured in courage, growth, and the refusal to quit.  This episode is for you if: You're chasing a big goal or adventure You've experienced setbacks or self-doubt You want inspiration to keep going when life gets tough You love stories of resilience, solo travel, and human grit Ready to be inspired by what's possible when you simply refuse to stop?

Welcome to episode 121 of The Journey Is the Reward!All good flights must come to an end, and sadly, the incredible 15-day Southern Africa adventure of a lifetime is concluding! Join Brian and crew as their journey wraps up and they depart Botswana.  Fortunately, he remembers to pull out the microphone at the airport lounge to capture a fantastic conversation with the rest of the crew: Barb, Jim, Gerrit, and Malin. It's a bittersweet moment as the group parts ways, with Gerrit and Malin flying off to Windhoek, Namibia, while Barb, Jim, and Brian head to Johannesburg for the final leg of their "flight plan." This last push includes important city sightseeing in both Johannesburg and Pretoria, one last chance for thrilling game drive, and immersive museum visits. Of course, the trip wouldn't be complete without a crucial stop for souvenirs! The crew made sure they filled their suitcases with treasures and gifts discovered at the Artisan Market at the Rosebank Mall for everyone back home. It seems like only yesterday the trip started, but a very quick 15 days later, the adventure was over, sealed with the memory of the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! You'll hear their poignant Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, adding pure magic to this final African episode.

In the second of our two-part series on tightening aid budgets, Sam Fenwick explores what shrinking donor support means for global health — from the sudden halt to major US-funded projects, to the pressure on low-income countries to increase their own health spending.As G20 leaders gather in Johannesburg for the Global Fund's Eighth Replenishment Summit, we hear from Zambia's minister of commerce on how his country is trying to plug the aid gap through investment in critical minerals, and from Peter Sands, head of the Global Fund, on why he believes wealthy nations must keep funding global health even as more countries take on greater responsibility for their own systems.With global aid budgets under strain, we examine what's at stake at today's summit — and what the future of funding for essential health programmes might look like.Produced and presented by Sam Fenwick(Image: An anonymous woman looks out over her local fishing community near the Zambezi River in Zambia.
