  • Ravens!

    I love this show, especially the most recent one about ravens. The music is always on pointe, the puns are perfect and the geography is wide-ranging. I learned so much, often about things I kind of thought I knew about already. Thanks!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A climate activist and a gas executive walk into a bar
Q: Why did the meeting between activists and the gas company regulators work where others hadn't?
Because all parties approached the issue with a willingness to listen and find a win-win solution, combining scientific evidence about leaks and cost savings with a shared goal of protecting the community and improving air quality.
A climate activist and a gas executive walk into a bar
Q: What sparked Zeyneb's interest in geothermal as a solution for her neighborhood?
Her concern for health and the realization that older gas infrastructure and methane leaks created a clear, practical opportunity to replace gas pipes with a geothermal network that could heat and cool multiple buildings, not just one home.
Catching the Codfather
Q: Can you tell me about how you did ultimately get arrested?
The interviewee discusses the investigation process, the undercover operation and the revealing of the true scale of the operation, including the setup with undercover agents and the discovery of falsified documents. He explains how various agencies pursued leads and the tension around evidence that could prove the scope of the crime.
Red is the warmest color
Q: How do environmental changes affect pair bonding?
Environmental changes alter breeding conditions and stress levels, which can influence bonding and divorce rates in monogamous species like albatrosses; researchers describe mechanisms such as stress hormones altering perceived mate quality.
Red is the warmest color
Q: Are there examples of same-sex animal relationships and raising their young?
Yes, many species exhibit same-sex pairings and parenting, particularly birds like black swans and albatrosses; research shows long-term bonds and parenting roles outside traditional male-female pairings are more common than previously thought.
