🚀 New Year, New Stories – Audio Signals Podcast is Back and it is all about storytelling! 🎙️audiosignalspodcast.com/

After a packed 2024 filled with incredible conversations, I took a short break in January to recharge. But now, it’s time to dive back into a year that’s already shaping up to be even bigger, bolder, and filled with extraordinary #stories and #storytellers.

And what better way to kick off 2025 than with a story that embodies everything this podcast is about—pushing limits, embracing adventure, and redefining what’s possible through amazing shared stories!

🌍 Meet Karen Meades—a woman who didn’t just challenge herself; she ran straight into the most extreme environments on the planet. From crossing the #Amazon jungle, to enduring the brutal #SaharaDesert, to racing through #Antarctica, Karen has taken on #ultramarathons that test not just the body, but the very essence of human #resilience.

She wasn’t always an endurance athlete. In fact, she never even thought of herself as one. But a single decision—to run a local 5K—set her on a path that changed everything. Step by step, challenge by challenge, she discovered what she was truly capable of.

But then life threw a different kind of obstacle in her way. One that forced her to rethink adventure and discover a new way to live without limits.

Her story is captured in My Limitless Life, a #book co-written with Barry Finlay, who helped bring her journey to life in a book that is as inspiring as it is breathtaking. In this episode, we explore:
🔹 What drives someone to take on seemingly impossible feats
🔹 How adventure and #storytelling intersect
🔹 Why limits are often self-imposed
🔹 What happens when life forces you to redefine them

Audio Signals Podcast Audio Signals PodcastHosted by Marco Ciappelli | Audio Signals Podcast is repositioning its antennas! We are all made of stories. Storytelling is at the core of our human experience. It's how we transmit knowledge, share experiences, and communicate values. Stories are more than just narratives—they're bridges that connect us, shaping our worldview and identity. They weave together the fabric of our collective consciousness, revealing the richness and complexity of the human condition. In our modern, hybrid analog-digital society, the art of storytelling is more important than ever. As technology brings us closer, stories have the power to break down barriers, foster understanding, and build a shared human experience in an increasingly interconnected world. Whether you're an author, screenwriter, filmmaker, poet, playwright, musician, journalist, comedian, or video game designer—each of you contributes to the grand narrative of human experience. Through your chosen medium, you craft stories that provoke thought, inspire, entertain, and illuminate our existence. With that in mind, I'm repositioning the antenna of this podcast to better capture the incredible storytelling universe, focusing on the storytellers themselves. Join me on this journey to share your passion, craft, and the stories that truly make us human. Let's continue the timeless tradition of storytelling together in this evolving digital era. Over and out!

More effects of climate change, in this case it rained in the Sahara Desert!!

“ Striking images from the Sahara Desert show large lakes etched into rolling sand dunes after one of the most arid, barren places in the world was hit with its first floods in decades.”

“ Preliminary NASA satellite data showed nearly 8 inches of rain in some parts of the region.”

CNN · The Sahara Desert flooded for the first time in decades. Here’s what it looks likeBy Laura Paddison

Two days of rainfall in #September exceeded yearly averages in several areas of south-east #Morocco and caused a deluge, officials of the country’s meteorology agency said in early October. In #Tagounite, a village about 450km(280 miles) south of the capital, #Rabat, more than 100mm (3.9 inches) was recorded in a 24-hour period. #SaharaDesert #ClimateChange

Our #Climate Is So Screwed Up, It Rained in the #SaharaDesert

Story by Maggie Harrison Dupré
October 10, 2024

Darude Rainstorm

"How messed up is planet Earth's climate? It's rain-in-the-Sahara-level messed up, apparently.

"As The Associated Press reports, a region of the Sahara Desert in southeastern #Morocco last month experienced a surprise deluge of #rainstorms, which has transformed some parts of the arid North African landscape into lake-filled oases.

"Rain is exceptionally uncommon in the Sahara, which is one of the driest places on the planet. It's especially uncommon during the late summer season.

"Per the AP, the Moroccan government reported that just two days of rain in September surpassed annual averages in areas that usually get less than ten inches of rain per year. One town called #Tagounite got nearly four inches in one day — an eye-popping amount of water for the drought-stricken region.

[...]

"According to the AP, Youabeb, and others are predicting that the unforeseen storms are likely to significantly alter the area's climate in the long term. That's because such a significant amount of rainfall in such a short period will add a consequential amount of water to the surrounding atmosphere."
