Today on Perspectives, we're talking about the future of healthcare and what it means to be a better ancestor. A special article in the New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst introduces the Better Ancestor Framework—a bold new approach to transforming a healthcare system that too often has been shaped by structural racism, and instead reimagining one rooted in healing, trust, and justice for all. The article's three authors driving this work are Dr. Somava Saha, Executive Director of WE in the World, Kellie Easton, President and CEO of Action4Equity, and Kenneth Reid, Chief Operating Officer at Action4Equity. My guest on the show today is Dr. Saha. Together, they're asking a powerful question: What kind of healthcare system do we want to leave behind for future generations? During this conversation, we'll explore their new Better Ancestor Framework, the cultural wisdom that inspired it, and how it's already helping communities across the country build a fairer, more humane healthcare system.

We often imagine ancestors as people who lived long before us.But what if you are the ancestor of your own future self?The truth is, you are—even across the next hour.Every action you take today— Every word you speak, Every love you nurture,Every moment you either honor or betray your own integrity—Plants the seeds of who you will be tomorrow.Imagine waking up one year from now and meeting the version of yourself you created through today's choices.That's ancestry.What if that same principle stretches beyond this one life?After all, we are eternal spirits!Like many wisdom keepers and scriptures proclaim, * your soul and life are not a static, * or a one-time event.It is an evolving, unique current of consciousness, carrying forward both your unfinished wounds and your untapped potential—across time, lifetimes, and experiences you may not even remember… yet.If that's true—if the choices you make now ripple into generations of your future self—then how you show up today matters more than you realize.

We're sorry!This one took a lot longer to bring to you than originally planned!Matt and Kenny discuss the concluding adventure on the Compassion Arc, as the Doctor returns to Gallifrey.And special guests Steve Cole and Peter Anghelides discuss the writing of the novel.

What does it mean to be a descendant and a future ancestor at the same time? In her latest book of poetry, “Procession,” Katherena Vermette aims to answer that question for herself — and she just might inspire you to think about it, too. Katherena is an award-winning, critically acclaimed Michif (Red River Métis) writer from Winnipeg, whose work spans poetry and fiction, but almost always takes on themes of family, intergenerational relationships, and the ties that bind us together. She joins Tom Power to talk about her new collection, and how parts of it were inspired by looking at old family photos.Fill out our listener survey here. We appreciate your input!

Many of us grow up hearing stories about our family's background. Maybe your grandmother insisted her side of the family was “pure Irish.” Or perhaps your grandfather proudly declared that his ancestors were “completely German, no mixture at all.” In some households, there is even the belief that one particular ancestor was “full-blooded Cherokee,” “100 percent Scottish,” or “pure Italian.” These stories are often told with pride. They give families a sense of identity and belonging. But when we hold them up to the light of history and genealogy, a different picture emerges. The idea that an ancestor was “100 percent” one ethnicity is rarely true, and it is almost never as simple as the stories make it sound. The myth of pure ethnicity is powerful because it speaks to human longing. People like neat boxes and clear categories. We want to know where we come from. We want to say, with confidence, “My ancestors were entirely Irish,” or “We have nothing but German blood.” The problem is, history is messy, borders change, and people have always moved, married, and mixed. This time, we are going to explore why the myth of pure ethnicity exists, where it came from, how DNA testing complicates it, and what the records really show. By the end, you'll see that your ancestors, like everyone else's, were part of a long story of blending, migration, and mixing. And that makes your family history far more interesting than the myth of “100 percent” purity.

Humanity has a primordial connection to water. For Indigenous peoples, such as the Māori, Water is an Ancestor, a living entity to be communed with, revered and treated with sacred reciprocity. We owe our lives to the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams of the world. And although marine ecosystems have often been viewed and studied through the abstract lens of economics or science, today, traditional Indigenous knowledge and cultural relationships with marine life and water in all its forms, are at the forefront of a new weaving that blends the ancestral past with the present. There is a growing wish to restore traditional concepts of marine and aquatic cultivation and care, to address climate change, microplastics, health of marine life, contaminants, and aquaculture. If water is an ancestor, what is our obligation to it? How do we restore a harmonious relationship with water, that supports future generations of life, and preserves the lifeways and worldviews of Indigenous peoples? What do the waters of the world ask of us? What should stewardship of marine ecosystems look like? What might we learn from the Māori, expert navigators of the waters, who have long held that their relationship to the land and waters is sacred. To them: Nature is everything. In this episode, join Heni Unwin, Kairangahau or Research Scientist with the Cawthron Institute [https://www.cawthron.org.nz/], in pondering these questions from her diverse perspectives as a Māori descendant and marine scientist.

Have you ever heard a family story that sounds just a little too good to be true? Maybe it's the tale of a “Cherokee princess” somewhere in your tree. Or maybe a great-aunt swore that your family is connected to European royalty. These are two of the most popular legends in genealogy, and they've been told so many times that they start to feel like fact. Here's the truth: Native tribes didn't have “princesses,” and most family lines don't secretly lead back to kings and queens. Still, these stories stick around because they're exciting, a little glamorous, and they give us a sense of pride. That doesn't mean your family history isn't fascinating—it just means the real story might be very different than the legend. And honestly, that's where the fun begins. In this article, we'll look at where these myths came from, why they've lasted so long, and how you can check the facts for yourself...

Family stories have a way of becoming family legends, and one of the most common you'll hear in genealogical circles is this: “Our ancestor came through Ellis Island, and the clerks changed the family name because they couldn't spell it.” It's dramatic, almost cinematic. Imagine the scene—ships crowding New York Harbor, weary travelers clutching suitcases, and an impatient official scribbling down a “new” surname that forever altered the family's story. But here's the reality: Ellis Island clerks did not change names. The truth is both less theatrical and more interesting, because it says something important about how myths form, how families adapt, and where the real records are hiding...

Join us for our second episode of season 2 with Shannon Bae. Shannon is a long-time friend, fellow Korean adoptee community activist and organizer, and mother of two amazing kids. This intimate conversation took place in Seoul in the summer of 2023 during the International Korean Adoptee Association's 6th Korea Gathering. In our shared ancestral land, Shannon generously shares about her decision to not explicitly share her adoption story with her children at this point in their development, and her juxtaposing experiences giving birth in Korea and the United States while continuing to cultivate a deeper relationship with her birth mother. Shannon also discusses her children's experiences moving back and forth between Korea and the United States, raising them bilingual, and why she doesn't view translating for adoptee reunions as work.  Shannon Bae BioCo-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Augustina Moore & Adrien Prevosthttps://august222222.comArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast

This episode is a replay of a previously recorded livestream where we explored the practice of ancestor veneration in the Ifá tradition. Learn how to build sacred connections with your lineage, even if you don't know your full family history. We cover the role of Egun and Egungun, the difference between ancestors and Orisha, how to set up an altar, and the purpose of rituals like ancestor elevation and connection ceremonies. If you're ready to deepen your spiritual foundation and walk in alignment with your ancestral guidance, this conversation is for you.

Have you pondered the meaning and legacy of seeds, from our human agricultural origins, to now? What does it mean to be a good steward and ancestor to not only land, but also to the seeds passed down along these generations from past to present to future?This special episode explores transformative visions for a more just and sustainable food system, which fundamentally connects every human back to land -- from field to food safety to cultural practices. Luminaries, authors, and sacred earth champions Jim Embry and Jennifer Bailey share their visions for a healthier future for all, and how seed work is the focal point of social transformation and justice.ResourcesSlow Food Seeding StardustOrganic Seed Alliance Conference 2025: Seed Cosmology

WBZ NewsRadio's Mike Macklin reports.

On the surface, it appears as though the lives we live proceed forward moment by moment in a strictly linear way. Could it be we've got it all wrong? Renowned energy healer and teacher Cyndi Dale offers a wildly different perspective on our human journey—a paradigm-shattering cosmology where our current, past, parallel, and future selves coexist in realms beyond the grasp of the rational mind. In her book Transforming the Legacy, Cyndi helps readers create a partnership with these energetic aspects of ourselves to identify and heal soul-based and lineage-ancestry issues.  In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Cyndi about Transforming the Legacy and a broad swath of fascinating topics including: past lives and reincarnation; quantum physics and how our past, present, and future lives coexist; our two neurological systems: the (linear) digital and the (timeless) analog; the phenomenon of loop quantum gravity and how our parallel lives unfold in connection and concurrently; healing the past for empowerment here and now; the 12-chakra model; the ancestral energies we receive pre-conception; soul-level agreements we choose prior to incarnating; changing the "program" to change the person; finding your "God spot," or your connection to divine intelligence within; combining intuition with somatic practice on the path of healing and growth; applying subtle energy work to resolve money issues; the "wild tornadoes" metaphor for the chakras; spiritual light; overcoming our psychological discomfort around making difficult changes; addressing illness and disease on both the physical and subtle levels; the practice of becoming your own good ancestor; and more. Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.

Episode 308 An ancient skull discovered in China has been confirmed to belong to a Denisovan. It's been tough to study this mysterious human ancestor, as we've only ever found a finger and jaw bone - so this new discovery could reshape our understanding of them. After being kept secret for decades, the “dragon man” skull is opening up a new window into our past. We've unlocked another clue in our quest to decode whale language. Analysis of 15 sperm whales in the Caribbean suggest their language may contain vowels, used in a similar way to human language. Using their various clicks, researchers have discovered interesting patterns in the way they communicate. Feeling hot and sweaty? Well, strap in - because these heatwaves are set to continue…and get worse. Summers are evolving fast as a result of climate change and weather events that would've once been rare are becoming much more common. Find out how the UK could be in for a string of long 40C summers in the very near future. The winner of The Women's Prize for Non-Fiction has been revealed - Dr Rachel Clarke claims the title for her book “The Story of a Heart”. The book explores the history of heart transplants and tells the story of a nine year old girl whose heart saved two other children and two adults. Rachel explains why she chose to write this story and the surprising things she learnt along the way.

Humans and apes have similarities as well as massive differences. Creationists and evolutionists agree there's similarity but not why we have similarities.

(image source: https://medium.com/@smartap3s/luca-and-fuca-our-great-great-great-grandmas-7880b0950e53) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-hosts Jennifer Grossman and Matt's niece Logan (against his will) discuss FUCA, the original, original life before even LUCA was a thing, which I also covered with Jennifer about two hundred episodes earlier. From the Early Precambrian, this non-cellular entity was actually quite different from LUCA, in that while the latter had cells and enzymes and other biology that makes it more akin to a living organism, FUCA is just a glob of aimless amino acids.

Imagine the tree of life. The tip of every branch represents one species, and if you follow any two branches back through time, you'll hit an intersection. If you keep going back in time, you'll eventually find the common ancestor for all of life. That ancestor is called LUCA, the last universal common ancestor, and there is no fossil record to tell us what it looked like. Luckily, we have Jonathan Lambert. He's a science correspondent for NPR and today he's talking all things LUCA: What we think this single-celled organism may have looked like, when it lived and why a recent study suggests it could be older and more complex than scientists thought.
