In the spring of 1954, a Japanese fishing vessel called the Lucky Dragon No. 5 sailed into the fallout zone of an American hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll. Its crew came home irradiated, and Japan, a nation still raw from Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than a decade earlier, found itself confronting nuclear terror all over again.Within months, Toho producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, with a collapsed co-production and an empty budget to fill, conceived a monster movie. What emerged from that collision of commercial necessity and national grief was Gojira (aka Godzilla); a film in which director Ishirō Honda, effects genius Eiji Tsuburaya, and a nation's unspoken anguish combined to create something cinema had never quite seen before. The character of Godzilla has evolved over 70 years, embodying contemporary fears and anxieties in a uniquely artistic way.Godzilla was never simply a creature feature. Honda had walked through the ruins of Hiroshima after the war. When his monster surfaced from the Pacific, awakened and mutated by nuclear testing, and reduced Tokyo to ash and radiation, Japanese audiences weren't watching spectacle. They were watching their own grief and trauma on screen. The hospital scenes, the Geiger counters, the dying children: all of it was modelled on the aftermath of atomic destruction. Even the film's resolution; Dr Serizawa destroying his world-ending weapon and himself along with it, posed a moral question about nuclear responsibility that no Western movie of the era came close to asking.As long as countries continue to test and threat with nuclear weapons, as long as that threat persists, so does Godzilla, as a warning to humanity.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

Hiroshima Toyo Carp vs Tokyo Yakult Swallows 6/20/26 NPB Japan Betting Pick by Ron Crawford.
We have just passed the 20 year anniversary of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. When he was asked recently by ABC News Chief Meteorologist and Chief Climate Correspondent Ginger Zee whether the film and its predictions on global warming hold up, Gore responded, "Unfortunately, yes." He went on to say, "The scientists were dead right on all the important elements of it and it really is insane that we are continuing to use the sky as an open sewer and we're trapping so much heat every day it's equal to the amount that would be released by 800,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day on the earth." Earlier this year the Yale School of the Environment published an article titled, Overshoot: The World is Hitting Point of No Return on Climate. They stated: "With warming set to pass the critical 1.5-degree limit, scientists are warning that the world is on course to trigger tipping points that would lead to cascading consequences from the melting of ice sheets to the death of the Amazon rainforest-that could not be reversed." Returning to Crosstalk to discuss the latest response by the U.N. General Assembly to such news was Alex Newman.

Krig har ofte drevet teknologiske gennembrud frem. I 1864 blev danskerne og vores allierede mødt af de tyske bagladergeværer, som gav en markant overlegen ildkraft. Under 1. verdenskrig gjorde flyvemaskinen indtog på slagmarken, og luftrummet blev et nyt krigsdomæne. 2. verdenskrig endte med atombomberne over Hiroshima og Nagasaki.Krigen i Ukraine har nu varet længere end 1. verdenskrig, og også her har ny teknologi forandret krigens natur. Droner er blevet et afgørende våben og har ændret måden, man fører krig på.Danmark er i gang med en historisk og dyr oprustning, men opruster vi på den rigtige måde?I tredje og foreløbig sidste afsnit om droner i krig taler Techtopia med professor Jan Damsgaard fra CBS – Copenhagen Business School, som netop har udgivet bogen Digital Suverænitet. Her beskriver han blandt andet, hvordan militær teknologiudvikling forandrer sig, og hvordan Danmark bør gribe sin oprustning an.Link:Jan Damsgaard https://www.cbs.dk/research/departments/department-digitalisation/jan-damsgaard
Beth breaks down the AI data center explosion hitting America right now - 3,400 announced, 781 under construction, each one a gigawatt heat machine dumping 1.4 Hiroshima bombs worth of waste heat into local environments daily. She maps the power grab, the water crisis, the noise plague, the eminent domain land grabs, and why this might be the the making of a digital grid prison - all while tracing NIMBY back to its origin in York, England 1880.
Un nuevo programa de VUELTA RÁPIDA GT en el que Ramón Biosca, Miguel Ángel Linares, Antonio Guzmán y el becario Edu Sánchez visitan Mazda en una experiencia sensorial en Madrid que transporta a los visitantes al corazón de la Hiroshima desconocida, con motivo del 25º aniversario de la compañía japonesa en España. La exposición “Crafted in Japan House by Mazda” está abierta al público de forma gratuita hasta el 26 de mayo en la Fundación Ortega Marañón de la capital. Además de ver la exposición, los visitantes también podrán probar vehículos de la gama y ver en primicia el nuevo Mazda6e, la nueva berlina eléctrica que abandera la estrategia eléctrica del fabricante japonés. De la mano del presidente de Mazda España, Ignacio Beamud, y del jefe de prensa Juan Antonio Moya, hemos hecho un repaso al pasado, el presente y el futuro de una marca que tiene mucho que contar, siempre desde su visión única de que la movilidad tiene que tener un objetivo principal: la unión entre el hombre y la máquina, basado en el antiquísimo concepto japonés Jinba-Ittai, por el cual los jinetes eran capaces de galopar a lomos de sus caballos disparando flechas y manejando el caballo solo con sus piernas. Esa conexión sigue siendo ley en Mazda. ¡No te lo puedes perder!
"The American firebombing of Tokyo was deadlier than the atomic bombs, not to mention the many other cities burned to the ground. Why did the U.S. do that? The answers go far beyond 'revenge' into some horrific options during total war." -- Ken► Script Sources and Notes: https://shorturl.at/5CdUbFOLLOW KEN:
Hiroshima Toyo Carp vs Saitama Seibu Lions 6/10/26 NPB Japan Betting Tips by Ron Crawford.
Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein about his book The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age, revisiting the run-up to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the postwar fight between nuclear hawks and doves over who should control nuclear weapons. Wellerstein argues there was no single “decision” to use the bomb—plans were already underway under military control, Truman was largely excluded and poorly briefed, and he may not have known a second bomb was coming. After Nagasaki, Truman asserted presidential control to halt further use, motivated by horror at civilian casualties. They discuss debates over whether the bombings ended the war and Truman's moral framing of nuclear weapons. The events of the past have clear echoes in today's nuclear policy debates, and the dispute over Iran's nuclear program and who is telling the truth about Iran's nuclear ambitions.You can check out his Nuke Map at nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Japón se rindió el 15 de agosto de 1945, pero el país estaba en la más absoluta ruina. Las grandes ciudades habían quedado arrasadas por los bombardeos, Hiroshima y Nagasaki estaban totalmente destruidas y la flota mercante yacía en el fondo del mar. La producción industrial apenas alcanzaba el 30% de los niveles previos a la guerra. Para colmo de males, la cosecha de arroz de ese año fue muy mala. La ración oficial rondaba las mil calorías diarias en muchas ciudades y 6 millones de repatriados regresaban a un país incapaz de absorberlos. A ese cuadro se sumaba una inflación galopante que había pulverizado el yen. Sobre ese país acabado se estableció la administración de ocupación dirigida por el general Douglas MacArthur, que al principio buscó desmilitarizar, democratizar y castigar al antiguo enemigo. La llegada de la guerra fría y el triunfo comunista en China en 1949 cambiaron las prioridades porque en Washington temían que si los japoneses seguían en la miseria habría revueltas y la Unión Soviética no tardaría en apoderarse del archipiélago. La recuperación se apoyó en tres pilares. El programa GARIOA canalizó hacia el país unos 1.700 millones de dólares en alimentos, fertilizantes, combustible y medicinas, lo que evitó la hambruna que se esperaba para 1946 y 1947. A partir de 1948 se puso en marcha el programa EROA que se encargó de poner en marcha la industria enviando materias primas industriales como el algodón, el mineral de hierro y el carbón. La apuesta fue clara desde el principio: Japón tenía que volver a ser una economía exportadora. En paralelo, el banquero Joseph Dodge llevó a término un plan de ajuste que estabilizó el yen y cuadró las cuentas públicas. Al plan de Dodge le siguió una breve recesión, luego la actividad económica se disparó. En ello tuvo mucho que ver el estallido de la guerra en la cercana Corea. Japón se convirtió en la retaguardia logística de Estados Unidos y sus aliados. Las compras especiales o "tokuju" hicieron crecer los pedidos a las fábricas japonesas, en total unos 2.300 millones de dólares durante el conflicto que aportaron entre el 60% y el 70% de la entrada de divisas. La industria japonesa renació. En 1951 ya había recuperado sus niveles de preguerra y siguió creciendo. El primer ministro Shigeru Yoshida llegó a calificar la guerra de Corea como un regalo caído del cielo. El Tratado de San Francisco de 1951 devolvió la soberanía plena al imperio japonés. La ayuda exterior aportó los recursos en los momentos más difíciles, y la guerra en Corea fue muy oportuna, pero fue la disciplina y el talento de los japoneses el que terminó convirtiendo a un país en la ruina en la segunda economía mundial en cuestión de un par de décadas.

Young, a PhD-trained theoretical physicist, alchemist, and author of A Fool's Wisdom. He spent eight years inside the quantum framework before walking away from it.I asked him to explain why atomism is such a problem, and what he said about how nuclear physics experiments actually work changed how I think about the entire field. The "particles" are in the human mind; the data are waves.We get into CERN's Shiva statue and the Celtic deity it's named after, why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving modern cities, what yellowcake really is, and why sulfur, not uranium, may be what's powering reactors.We also talk about Aether as the bridge between science and spirituality, alchemy as the operative wing of Christianity, and why the old world looks the way it does.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[10:07] Every time someone says "quantum" they actually mean Aether[34:29] How they "prove" atoms exist by shooting light and measuring the scatter [56:10] Aether as the bridge between science and spirituality, and why they severed it[1:08:21] Thought forms create vortices in the Aether that sustain themselves indefinitely[1:18:17] Hiroshima isn't a wasteland, and what the bombs actually were[1:23:26] The yellowcake deception and why nuclear power is really just sulfur[1:49:50] Alchemy is the operative wing of Christianity and Jesus was the master[1:58:59] The millennial reign, Satan's little season, and why everything is inverted[2:09:49] How the four elements simplify health and why your body knows how to healRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Dismantling Scientism and Demystifying Alchemy featuring Dr. Steven Young | YouTubeThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | YouTubeThe Biggest Lies We Ever Bought About Earth, the Aether & the Universe | Dr. Robert Bennett | YouTubeChrist's Millennial Reign & Satan's Little Season with Paul Stobbs | YouTubeResources Mentioned:Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer | BookCan You Catch a Cold? by Daniel Roytas | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookFind more from Dr. Steven:Dr. Steven A.

En enero de 1945 los aliados intuían que la guerra entraba en su recta final, aunque nadie acertaba a fijar la fecha del desenlace. El teatro europeo de operaciones parecía más cerca del final que el del Pacífico. Alemania estaba cercada por el este, el oeste y el sur, mientras que el archipiélago japonés todavía resistía. Aún no se habían librado las batallas de Iwo Jima y Okinawa, por lo que el alto mando estadounidense calculaba que aquello no terminaría hasta mediado el año 1946 a un coste muy elevado en vidas. Lo que sí dominaban los aliados sin discusión era el aire, y de ese dominio surgiría la mayor campaña de bombardeo estratégico de la historia. En el Reino Unido Arthur Harris, al frente del Bomber Command, era partidario del bombardeo de área nocturno, concebido expresamente para incendiar ciudades enteras y romper así la moral de los civiles. Los estadounidense preferían el bombardeo de precisión diurno sobre objetivos industriales bien elegidos con anterioridad. Disponían de ciertos avances como la mira Norden y contaban con buenos cazas de escolta como los Mustang que protegían a los bombarderos. En la Conferencia de Yalta celebrada en febrero Roosevelt y Churchill decidieron desatar una campaña de bombardeos que aliviase presión a los soviéticos en el frente del este impidiendo que el ejército alemán pudiese desplazar tropas y pertrechos hasta allí. Ese mismo mes atacaron con furia Berlín el día 3 y Dresde entre los días 13 y 14 con tres oleadas combinadas que desataron una tormenta de fuego que en su centro superó los 1.500 grados. Unas 25.000 personas murieron en el bombardeo, pero no sería el único. Le siguieron otras ciudades como Pforzheim, Wurzburgo y Magdeburgo que fueron destruidas, incluso en mayor medida que Dresde. Pero lo que marcó la diferencia no fue tanto la destrucción de las ciudades como los ataques sobre la infraestructura ferroviaria, algo que terminó paralizando por completo el Reich. En el Pacífico el cambio vino de la mano de un joven general, Curtis LeMay, que en enero se puso al mando de los B-29 destacados en las islas Marianas. Los fuertes vientos en altura hacían muy difícil el bombardero de precisión sobre Japón. LeMay ordenó volar de noche, a baja altura, sin armamento defensivo a bordo de los aviones y con bodegas repletas de bombas incendiarias M-69. La noche del 9 al 10 de marzo la Operación Meetinghouse incendió 41 kilómetros cuadrados de la ciudad de Tokio y mató entre 80.000 y 125.000 personas en lo que fue el episodio bélico más mortífero no de la guerra, sino de toda la historia. Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama y Kawasaki sufrieron idéntico destino, y luego decenas de ciudades medianas. Pero, pese a la devastación, Japón no se rendía. En Washington se plantearon invadir las islas principales con una gran operación anfibia, pero estimaban que el coste sería altísimo, de hasta un millón de bajas. Fue entonces cuando recurrieron a la bomba atómica que habían desarrollado con el Proyecto Manhattan. El 6 de agosto cayó la primera en Hiroshima, tres días más tarde cayó otra sobre Nagasaki. Entre medias los soviéticos entraron en Manchuria. El día 15 el emperador Hirohito anunció la rendición incondicional. Esta tormenta de fuego plantea preguntas incómodas. Los bombardeos contribuyeron a la victoria si, pero las víctimas civiles superaron las 650.000 en ambos teatros. Harris y LeMay fueron condecorados, y los tribunales de Núremberg y Tokio prefirieron no abrir ese melón. Sucesivos acuerdos sobre el alcance de este tipo de bombardeo vinieron después, pero el debate sigue abierto.

Ed. note: We recorded this episode outside on a windy day near The Bay. Apologies for the wind gusts you'll hear throughout. Jenny Chan found Storied: San Francisco thanks to Toshio from Sad Francisco. Jenny and I kick off her episode talking about Toshio, in fact. Jenny was born in Hong Kong. Growing up, her dad's mom babysat her a lot. Young Jenny really loved anime and would turn it on at grandma's house. When she did this, her Chinese grandmother would get upset, and Jenny didn't know why. She thought maybe her grandma was senile. Later in Jenny's life, when her grandmother passed away and she helped clean and organize her home in China, she discovered items her grandma kept that pointed to a life spent under Japanese occupation before and during World War II. We mentioned anime, but when Jenny was a kid, she just loved Japanese culture all around. She indulged in manga whenever she could save up enough money. As with the anime, her grandma didn't take kindly to these Japanese things in her home. When she was 10, Jenny's parents split up. She and her older brother then joined their mom and moved to the US. When Jenny remarks that she's not sure how her mom did it, we go on a sidebar. Jenny shares that her mom grew up during the time of the US war in Vietnam, so she's a survivor. I add that, simply, women are amazing. In US schools, Jenny learned about the Holocaust. She also learned about Pearl Harbor, but like most school-age kids in this country, it was in the context of what got the US into WWII. Japanese colonialism and dominance in east Asia never really came up. Her family came straight from Hong Kong to San Francisco in 2000. Members of her mom's family had already been here, dating back to the Seventies and Eighties. Jenny and her mom and brother lived in the Tenderloin when they arrived. She saw the dirty streets in that hood and wondered why they traded Hong Kong skyscraper living for this. Her mom told her that for many reasons, including not having to buy school uniforms, life in SF was more affordable. Jenny's run of schools in The City—Lafayette, Presidio, Washington High. I ask her if she experienced culture shock moving halfway around the world. She says yes and points to knowing only people from Hong Kong when she lived there. Here, she quickly learned that there are folks from all over China and differences abound. She says also that Chinese people she met in San Francisco or The Bay were stuck in whatever era they moved here during, and that was sometimes startling. We go on a sidebar here after Jenny asks me about my own move here from Texas in 2000. Jenny spent a lot of time in the school library, including during lunches. She dedicated herself to learning from an early age. She recognized the hardships her family was going through and saw education as a way to climb out of that. She used her 45-minute Muni commutes from the Tenderloin to school in the Richmond to read and do homework. Her mom worked in restaurants here in The City. Jenny would go with her mom to places like the bank to do the translation. Jenny was learning about life in the US in real time and for practical reasons. At my prompting, Jenny and I rap about all the awesome food in the Little Saigon area of the Tenderloin. I share the story of coming home from my trip to Vietnam and eating at Turtle Tower right away because I missed the food of that incredible country. Jenny lived in the Tenderloin through all her public school days in San Francisco. When her paternal grandmother passed away, she went back to China to clean out her home, as we've mentioned. And that's when Jenny and other members of her family started finding items—military yen, rice-rationing coupons—that pointed to life spent under occupation. Back home, Jenny had found a decent job after college, but was feeling stuck. The revelation of her grandmother's lived experience was a light bulb. It was around this time that Jenny realized a massive hole in her US education. Why didn't she learn about the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, for example? Most of the emphasis was on the war in Europe, with Pearl Harbor and later the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being the main subjects of the history of war in the Asian theater. In her own words, Jenny went "into a deep rabbit hole" to learn those untold stories. Her first stop was the library, where she discovered books like The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang and The Rising Sun by John Toland. The more she learned, the more she sought existing nonprofits she could join forces with to amplify the stories of the Japanese occupation of China. To her dismay, there weren't any. It was around 2012 or 2013, and Jenny figured that she already knew how to live without much income. And so, she decided to start her own company—a nonprofit dedicated to getting those stories out to the world. Pacific Atrocities Education was born. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Jenny Chan. We recorded this episode at Fort Mason in April 2026. Photography by Jeff Hunt

In this episode, we discuss one of the most dangerous and important topics in the world: What does uranium enrichment mean? And when can the peaceful use of nuclear energy turn into military use? Dr. Tarek explains the stages of enrichment in a simple way, why reaching 90% enrichment is considered extremely dangerous, and how countries and international agencies monitor secret nuclear programs. The conversation also goes into the details of Iran's nuclear crisis, America's role in the escalation, Iran's nuclear facilities, and the difference between peaceful nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. We also go back to the history of nuclear fear, from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs to the hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear bomb in history Dr. Tarek also talks about studying nuclear engineering in Egypt, his personal journey from science to nuclear media, and his career between art and nuclear conflict research. At the end of the episode, we ask an important question: Is Egypt safe from nuclear threats? And why does the nuclear energy file require awareness, knowledge, and great responsibility? اسمعوا البودكاسترز على | Listen to El-Podcasters on Spotify - https://anchor.fm/elpodcasters Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/eg/podcast/el-podcasters/id1633419184 Anghami - https://play.anghami.com/podcast/1029463712 El-Podcasters Social Media | منصات التواصل الإجتماعي للبودكاسترز: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elpodcasters Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@elpodcasters Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/elpodcasters Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/elpodcasters/ X - https://www.twitter.com/elpodcasters Snapchat - https://snapchat.com/t/3Zbo2vzS Bassel Alzaro - https://www.instagram.com/basselalzaro https://www.facebook.com/BasselAlzaroX https://snapchat.com/t/CoWlatfk Karim Rihan - https://www.instagram.com/karimrihann Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Since 2001, he has been a professor of modern Japanese cultural history and communication at the Faculty of Informatics of Shizuoka University. He lives in Hamamatsu, Japan. Amy Chavez talks about Sheftall's books on the Asia Pacific War, in particular Hiroshima: The Last Witnesses and Nagasaki: The Last Witnesses both oral histories featuring interviews with survivors of the atomic bombs. Has Japan's 80 years of peace education been all for naught? The book serves as a prescient warning given the current political climate and Japan's complex relationships with the US, Taiwan, China, and the broader world. Recent developments—including Nihon Hidankyo's 2024 Nobel Peace Prize and the ongoing protests against revising Article 9—bring this subject into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, the author offers his own perspective on Japan's nuclear future. The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

ONE OF THE most significant events in the history of the world took place in 1892, when a corrupt political hack named James Lotan managed to land a cushy government job as the head of the customs inspection service for the Port of Portland. Believe it or not, Lotan's landing that job led directly to Pearl Harbor and eventually Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and indirectly to the defeat of Nazi Germany in Europe. Not bad for a small-time white-collar criminal in a tiny backwater seaport town on the far side of the world, eh? I realize you may be a bit skeptical of this claim. Bear with me while I unpack it and prove it to you, along with the strong possibility that most of us owe our lives and the continued existence of human civilization to James Lotan and the sleazy little band of well-heeled drug smugglers and human traffickers who worked with and for him, on the Portland waterfront in the early 1890s....

El precio de los huevos sube un 14,7% y cierran 11 escuelas de Hiroshima, en Japón, tras el avistamiento de osos. Nacho García y Lalachus comentan la actualidad del viernes 15 de mayo de 2026.
Eighty years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, artist Sandy Walker believes art still has the power to transform people's perceptions. Speaking to UN News at United Nations Headquarters, Mr. Walker reflected on the influence of Hiroshima survivor and writer Tamiki Hara, whose final work, My Deepest Desire, inspired a series of ink drawings that now accompany a new edition of the text.Mr. Walker explains why he believes art can shape collective memory by first reaching individuals one by one.“When asked what Hiroshima's message to the world today might be,” he told UN News' Ana Carmo, “the answer is one word: stop.”

The development of the B-29 Superfortress began in 1939 following a clandestine meeting between General Hap Arnold and Charles Lindbergh, who warned of Germany's growing bomber fleets. The project aimed for air supremacy through a four-engine, high-altitude strategic bomber that far surpassed the capabilities of the B-17 or B-24. However, the B-29 was incredibly complex and "buggy," featuring new technologies like pressurized cabins and digitally controlled gun turrets. Production was plagued by technical failures, including engine fires and stall-outs that claimed the life of a leading test pilot. Bill Knudsen played a critical role in the "Battle of Omaha," driving the assembly lines forward and insisting on modifications as the planes were finished. By 1943, nearly 40% of the workforce at these plants consisted of women. Ultimately, the B-29 became the most expensive project of the war, carrying the atomic bomb to Hiroshima and ending the conflict in the Pacific. (3/4)
Ready to feel all the feelings? Sarah and Jane sit down with author and mystic Perdita Finn on the eve of the launch of her new book, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors — and the timing feels nothing short of divinely arranged. Perdita is also the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, and this episode picks up right where that book left off: the dead are not gone, they are available to help us. What unfolds is one of the most resonant conversations Medium Curious has ever had. Perdita brings her gift for poetic, grounded storytelling to questions that couldn't feel more urgent: What does it mean to be un-mothered in a culture designed to make mothers fail? How do we reclaim the grandmothers who were silenced, reduced to diagnoses, cornered by circumstance? And how do we connect with them now, across the veil, when we need them most? Perdita shares the story of her grandmother Nellie — a woman she only knew as a stroke victim, but who she discovered, through diaries found after her mother's death, to be a complicated, extraordinary soul worth claiming. She talks about the forget-me-nots blooming in her yard three weeks early on book launch day, carried from England to America by her grandmother, and what it feels like to offer this book to her. The conversation moves through the lost village of mothering — how before civilization, a mother was anyone who cared, regardless of gender or biology — to the very practical question of what to do with all of it: the grief, the rage, the overwhelm, the headlines. Perdita's answer is to delegate to the dead. She opens every morning with her worries and calls on her team on the other side, from her late dentist to the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, trusting that the dead can hold what we cannot. This episode will leave you crying, laughing, and reaching for your own grandmother's hand across whatever distance separates you. Key Takeaways The dead are still available to us. Perdita opens every morning by calling on her team on the other side — ancestors, teachers, friends, even those we've lost to historical atrocity — and asks them to help carry what feels too heavy to hold alone. This isn't metaphor. It's a daily practice with real effects. Our grandmothers were more than the stories we were told about them. Many of us inherited a reduced version of who our grandmothers were — shaped by trauma, mental illness labels, silence, and the limits of the era they lived in. Their diaries, their objects, their dreams can give them back to us as full human beings. Fretting is a form of prayer. Perdita reframes worry not as weakness but as creativity at work — an act of turning something over, wearing away at a problem, spinning new possibilities into being. Our anxious minds are also our most generative ones. Before civilization, a mother was an adult who cared. Mothering wasn't defined by gender or biology. It was communal, expansive, and distributed across a whole circle of people. Reclaiming that definition is not just healing — it's resistance. We are all psychic, and we have been trained out of it. Perdita's own precognitive dreams were met with terror by her mother, and she shut them down. When we silence those gifts in children — and in ourselves — we lose our most essential line of communication with the unseen world. The goal isn't just your lifetime. Perdita encourages thinking in terms of 49 generations — roughly 1,200 years. What prayer would you want to still be praying then? What healing are you beginning now that you may not live to see complete? Quotable Moments "What we long for are the arms and the embrace of a circle of mothers — a circle of grandmothers, a circle of beings who know who we are and want us to be who we are." "If we weren't adored by a group of women who loved us in life, just know: you are adored by beings beyond measure who love you from the other side." "We need less children in the world and more mothers." "A knot, an obstacle, a problem, a rift — becomes an opportunity for magic with the dead." "If we remember we're all each other's mothers, we're going to stop clear-cutting the forest and mountaintop mining and putting each other in solitary confinement."

In 1945, tens of thousands of occupied Koreans were forced to live in Japan, primarily as impoverished workers. When the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 70,000 Koreans were impacted. Though they and their succeeding generations have been severely harmed by the exposure to radiation, they still have not received recognition, an apology or compensation for their suffering. A delegation of atomic bomb victims just completed a tour of the United States and testified before the United Nations. Clearing the FOG speaks with Shim Jin-tae, Han Jeongsun and a representative of Solidarity for Peace and Reunification of Korea (SPARK) about their experiences and their struggle for a nuclear-free world.
