Welcome to this occasionally mildly interesting farming podcast (it's a science podcast), hosted by award winning podcaster Michael Blanche (200m swimming badge 1978) and not-yet-not-a-real-doctor Paul Allison. We talk about recent research into soil, pasture, cows and sheep. People say that it's the podcast they didn't know they wanted or needed, and they definitely didn't ask for it. It's sometimes a bit sweary (not the big one). It's fine. Cows and effect sounds like cause and effect. It's a play on words. That's funny stuff. Warning: Following legal advice the listener should be aware that...

Verrat - Betrug - Intrige: Literatur trifft Philosophie! Agamemnon und Achill, Jesus und die Ehebrecherin, Othello und Desdemona: All diese Geschichten erzählen von dramatischen menschlichen Krisen - und sie liefern sehr unterschiedliche Antworten auf die Frage, warum der Mensch sein Gegenüber vernichten möchte.

Whether they love or hate it, Go All the Way is a dive into the Beatles-inspired pop rock of the last five decades.

Unwilling to overlook these heinous crimes against a vulnerable, underserved populace, Constable Lukarde Alfans began an investigation that brought him far too close to the truth, leading him to become the cult's next target.

The Coronavirus Bible is what happens when a bunch of Christian comedians get together (virtually) during quarantine to raise money to support those in need.

Following the near-death medical crisis chronicled in I See U, this memoir moves beyond the ICU and into the long, unspoken aftermath—where healing is uneven, silence is heavy, and survival no longer feels like victory.
