Since early January, historic wildfires have been burning across Los Angeles. Over two dozen people have died, and more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed. Insured losses may exceed $20 billion. In the months prior to the fires, thousands of Los Angeles homeowners were dropped by insurers. Some moved over to the state-funded insurance FAIR plan while many others remained insurance-less. In this episode of “Burning Questions,” the How We Survive team surveys the devastation on the ground in the Pacific Palisades and host Amy Scott talks with Carolyn Kousky from the Environmental Defense Fund to find out if the future is insurable and what that might mean for the housing market.

In the fourth episode of the Why AxS podcast—where brilliant scientific and artistic minds ponder the important whys—we explore the rise of Futurism in Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma and envisioning a more inclusive and sustainable future. We're joined by Virgil Ortiz, a Pueblo artist known for his traditional Cochiti figurative pottery and experimentations with science-fiction storytelling. Ortiz's art is a testament to his boundless imagination and his ability to push boundaries. He creates art the way his ancestors did while interweaving futuristic, sci-fi themes that bring light to untold histories. ReVOlt 1680/2180: Sirens & Sikas, for instance, unearths the artistry and significant history of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, the only successful Native uprising against a colonizing power in North America (which you've likely never heard of.) The striking piece is part of an exhibition currently on view at the Autry Museum of the American West entitled Future Imaginaries: Art, Fashion, Technology. The Autry's Amy Scott joins this episode of the Why AxS to weigh in on the complex ideas animating an exhibition featuring over 50 works exploring representing a diverse array of Native cultures. Part of Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide (as is this podcast), the exhibition also opens audiences to the significance of non-Western knowledge, especially when it comes to climate change. This is where our third guest, Dr. Daniel Wildcat, comes in. The professor and highly accomplished scholar works to incorporate Indigenous knowledge and culture into federal policy. Join us for a lesson left out of the history books, as we imagine a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Laura interviews Australian author and advocate Lauren Trevan about the national crises of men killing women and her book Now I See You. We recorded this episode just after the horrific Bondi attack by Joel Cauchi on April 13 2024, where he stabbed 18 people including a nine-month-old baby killing her mother, Ashlee Good, and four other women, Dawn Singleton, Jade Young, Pikria Darchia, Yixuan Cheng and one man, Faraz Tahir, who died trying to protect women. Cauchi was shot dead by a brave female Inspector from New South Wales Police, Amy Scott, who single handedly pursued him through the mall. There has been an increase in male violence to women and femicides with many Australians taking to the streets to demand urgent action to end male violence to women. At the start of Domestic Violence Prevention Month in Australia, women are quite rightly angry, and Laura wanted to focus on women's voices, honour the victims and spotlight what needs to change. Join Laura and Lauren next week when they will dive into Lauren's own case and book. #Bondi #MassMurder #Australia #Femicde #MaleViolence #Misogyny #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #WomenMatter #Truecrime #Podcast Clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAd4ch8gYq0 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5xvNB6pyZA/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oBjgFT5qVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FTRket0vLs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyOQeqSrry0 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6XJSp0Bl6n/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Qo6NorfEE/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Sources https://xyonline.net/sites/xyonline.net/files/2024-04/Yardley%2C%20The%20Elephant%20in%20the%20Room%20-%20Toward%20an%20Integrated%2C%20Feminist%20Analysis%20of%20Mass%20Murder%202023.pdf Lifeline 131114 (24hrs) 1800 Respect national Helpline 1800 737 732 Buy Lauren's Book ‘Now I See You': https://www.amazon.com/Now-See-You-Lauren-Trevan-ebook/dp/B0CLQKHT47 JOIN the Crime Analyst Squad via Patreon www.patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst JOIN Laura's 2024 Masterclasses: https://shoutout.wix.com/so/f5Oxu1wqX?languageTag=en To register or for more info E-mail laurarichardspa@gmail.com www.dashriskchecklist.com www.thelaurarichards.com YouTube, Socials and Website YouTube @crimeanalyst Instagram @crimeanalyst @laurarichards999 Twitter @thecrimeanalyst @laurarichards99 TikTok @crimeanalystpod Website www.crime-analyst.com Leave a Review https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.
