Sound therapy — DJP (2026)
I saw a couple of ads on Facebook recently for this guy's Banah Winn sound therapy or "Golden Ratio
Frequencies" sounds and I bought a one-off subscription for $37 and it is a great investment I believe.
Listening to the tunes though had me wanting to listen to other tunes as well and I found out that there are
probably unsurprisingly sound therapy videos to listen to on Youtube for free. See the video below
as a good example. Sound therapy is great a mon avis. :)
Update – Check out this excellent channel incl. the playlists. It's fantastic for meditations:

Gaelic speakers in the Scottish Parliament? — DJP (2026)
This news goes back around six weeks but I only found out about it tonight after a Google and ChatGPT
search.
Yikes!
The Irish Dáil has a good few Irish speakers. The proportion of Irish-speaking councillors is a lot smaller
and I believe more indicative of the true proportion of Irish speakers in Ireland. I don't pay as much
interest to the Seanad so am not sure about it off the top of my head in relation to cainteoirí Gaeilge but
the proportion of Irish speakers elected to it has been traditionally a lot less than in the Dáil I believe.
I think it is great the way Irish-speaking politicians can contribute to the Irish-language media.
Update – I interviewed Andreas G. Wolff again to talk about the state of Scots Gàidhlig
including in terms of the Scottish Parliament:
