Podcasts about Arctic

Located above 66°33? Latitude North is the region we call the Arctic.  The Arctic is unlike any other environment on Earth, even the Antarctic. It is sparsely populated and has unique wildlife and a biome that can't be found anywhere else.  It is completely dark in the winter and the sun never sets in the summer…and of course, it is really cold Learn more about the Arctic and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

 In moments of survival, people have claimed to sense a mysterious presence that helps them through hard times and leads them to safety. From expeditions through the Arctic to escaping the World Trade Center during 9/11, what's come to be known as the Third Man Factor has reportedly saved dozens if not hundreds of lives. The question is—is it our own survival mechanism or some supernatural force?For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/the-unknown-the-third-man-factorSo Supernatural is an audiochuck and Crime House production.

The Trump Administration is putting offshore wind energy on hold by canceling grants, cutting tax credits and revoking permits for projects that are nearly complete. We discuss the economic impacts to port communities and the view that the US is ceding the opportunity to be a global leader in renewable energy. Also, with the Arctic warming four times as fast as the rest of the globe, and fires now routinely burning large swaths of northern forests, carbon stored in permafrost is rapidly escaping into the atmosphere where it can warm the planet even faster. How Indigenous cultural practices can help protect this vital resource. And human-made noise is bad for our health, disrupts our natural world, and hinders our ability to connect with one another. The book Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World and How We Can Take It Back explores the hidden costs of unwanted sound and advocates for turning down the volume on human-made noise. --- You can help support our free public radio show and podcast, for free, by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

A ghost ship is an adrift vessel with no living passengers or crew aboard. Sometimes, we know why the ship was abandoned or what tragedy occurred to the passengers and crew, but other times, we are left to guess what happened aboard the vessel during the last few hours and minutes when the crew inexplicably abandoned the ship or died aboard it.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: When Nature's Silence Speaks: Rediscovering the Northern Lights Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-09-10-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: På kanten af den arktiske tundra, hvor vinden susede som en urolig ånd gennem de iskolde vidder, var der en usædvanlig stilhed over himlen.En: On the edge of the Arctic tundra, where the wind howled like a restless spirit through the icy expanses, there was an unusual silence over the sky.Da: Det var her, under det tunge lag af skyer, at Soren stod med sin kikkert.En: It was here, under the heavy layer of clouds, that Soren stood with his binoculars.Da: Han var normalt vant til at se nordlys danse over tundraen, men nu var der intet.En: He was usually accustomed to seeing the northern lights dance over the tundra, but now there was nothing.Da: Det var en bekymring, som trak dybe linjer i hans pande.En: It was a concern that etched deep lines in his forehead.Da: Astrid sad indendørs, omhyggeligt analyserende data ved et flimrende computerdrev.En: Astrid sat indoors, carefully analyzing data by a flickering computer drive.Da: Hun troede fast på tal og statistik, men selv hendes beregninger viste ingen årsag til nordlysenes forsvinden.En: She firmly believed in numbers and statistics, but even her calculations showed no reason for the northern lights' disappearance.Da: "Vi mangler klare data," sagde hun til Soren, mens hun justerede sine briller.En: "We lack clear data," she said to Soren, while adjusting her glasses.Da: Freja, derimod, kendte landet som sin egen lomme.En: Freja, on the other hand, knew the land like the back of her hand.Da: Hun havde dyb respekt for både det forklarlige og det uforklarlige.En: She had deep respect for both the explainable and the unexplainable.Da: Frygten for, hvad der skjulte sig bag det manglende nordlys, fascinerede hende.En: The fear of what was hidden behind the missing northern lights fascinated her.Da: "Der er noget ved jorden," sagde hun stille, "noget vi ikke kan se."En: "There is something in the ground," she said quietly, "something we cannot see."Da: Vejret blev kun værre.En: The weather only worsened.Da: Snebjergene rejste sig skarpe og truende, og vinden nåede i hylende kast ned over lejren.En: The snow-covered peaks rose sharp and threatening, and the wind howled in gusts down over the camp.Da: Astrid advarede mod at rejse ud i det barske vejr.En: Astrid warned against venturing out in the harsh weather.Da: "Det er for farligt, Soren," sagde hun, mens hun kiggede op fra sine grafer.En: "It's too dangerous, Soren," she said, looking up from her graphs.Da: Men Soren var fast besluttet.En: But Soren was determined.Da: Han vidste, at han måtte handle, og hans indre frygt for ikke at være op til opgaven gnavede i ham.En: He knew he had to take action, and his inner fear of not being up to the task gnawed at him.Da: Han samlede sit udstyr, og på trods af Astrids indvendinger tog han Freja med sig ud i tundraen.En: He gathered his equipment, and despite Astrid's objections, he took Freja with him out into the tundra.Da: Skyerne hang som et gråt tæppe over dem, da de bevægede sig længere ind i den frosne ødemark.En: The clouds hung like a gray blanket over them as they moved further into the frozen wilderness.Da: Frejas instinkter førte dem gennem det barske terræn til et sted, hvor jorden virkede mærkeligt varm.En: Freja's instincts led them through the harsh terrain to a place where the ground felt strangely warm.Da: Her opdagede de en kæde af bjergsprækker, nyligt åbnet, hvorfra varm damp steg op og forstyrrede atmosfæren.En: Here they discovered a chain of mountain fissures, newly opened, from which warm steam rose and disturbed the atmosphere.Da: "Soren, se det der," hviskede Freja, mens hun pegede.En: "Soren, look at that," whispered Freja, pointing.Da: "Det er ændringerne i jorden.En: "It's the changes in the ground.Da: Miljøet forandrer sig hurtigt."En: The environment is changing rapidly."Da: Soren indså pludselig, at det var disse skiftende jordplader og den varme damp, der afstødte nordlysene.En: Soren suddenly realized it was these shifting tectonic plates and the warm steam that repelled the northern lights.Da: Han tog notater, målte og forstod.En: He took notes, measured, and understood.Da: Aha-øjeblikket kom, da han indså, at en kombination af naturlige faktorer var på spil.En: The aha moment came when he realized that a combination of natural factors was at play.Da: Da de vendte tilbage til lejren, arbejdede Soren og Astrid sammen for at udvikle modeller, der kunne forudsige disse ændringer.En: When they returned to the camp, Soren and Astrid worked together to develop models that could predict these changes.Da: Med Frejas hjælpsomme vejledning i de naturlige rytmer begyndte de at skabe en plan, der harmoniserede med naturens kræfter.En: With Freja's helpful guidance in the natural rhythms, they began to create a plan that harmonized with nature's forces.Da: Til sidst, en klar nat, lysnede himlen af farverige bånd af lys.En: Finally, on a clear night, the sky brightened with colorful bands of light.Da: Soren så op mod det flamrende nordlys.En: Soren looked up at the flickering northern lights.Da: Han følte en ny sikkerhed i sin evne til at lytte til både videnskab og instinkt.En: He felt a newfound confidence in his ability to listen to both science and instinct.Da: Det var tydeligt nu, hvordan hans tillid havde vokset, og hvordan de alle havde bidraget til at bringe lyset tilbage.En: It was clear now how his confidence had grown, and how they all had contributed to bringing the light back.Da: "Himmelen taler til os igen," sagde Freja med et smil, mens de tre stod der, fascineret af naturens vidundere.En: "The sky is speaking to us again," said Freja with a smile, as the three of them stood there, fascinated by the wonders of nature.

Episode 145 brings you "information whiskey" - the crew's loose, conversational format where they step back from their "really tightly wound formatted structure" to catch up on life, flying, and everything in between.Ben confesses to being a "plane jinx" after his multi-engine training gets derailed by yet another 100-hour inspection, while Brian plans an epic desert trip from Nashville to New Orleans to Marfa because "if I don't have something on the horizon to look forward to, I'm just a shell of a human being." Ted shares his Palouse flying video and recalls his motorcycling adventures from "above the Arctic circle" to "below the equator."The highlight of the episode is Brian's glowing review of Wendell Geek's masterful Fisk arrival video, calling it "the first thing I've seen where it actually made me want to fly Fisk" and praising its non-linear storytelling approach. Mark reveals he accidentally rendered over his original footage and had to rebuild the entire video from scratch.The conversation meanders through STOL competitions ("if I had your plane, I would be doing that"), insurance implications of MOSAIC rules, and the crew's ongoing battle with aging aircraft and cars. Ben gets his thrills with a massive forward slip through Atlanta's Delta airspace, while Brian contemplates whether anyone wants to rebuild a 4AGE motor in a 1985 Toyota MR2.As Ted notes about midlife priorities: "We chose this not because it was easy, but because we thought it was easy" - the same mindset that drives both flying and life decisions at this stage.Ben's wisdom: "Cleared for the approach means it's time to make math panic look graceful."Mentioned on the show:Music City STOL: https://nationalstol.com/musiccity/XNX - Music City Executive Airport: https://www.airnav.com/airport/KXNXPiperzilla: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1418719012179295Ted's "Palouse Is My Happy Place" vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhD9hx-XvIITailwheel CFI Ben: https://www.instagram.com/flyyywithben/RYY - Cobb County: https://www.airnav.com/airport/KRYYMGE - Dobbins ARB: https://www.airnav.com/airport/kmgeMark/1dullgeek's Oshkosh arrival vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIWmgdiTDj8Ted's Oshkosh arrival vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91smAolmRpICheckride debriefs and Killing Zone Konversationz: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1238009Midlife Pilot Podcast: https://midlifepilotpodcast.com/YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@MidlifePilotPodcastPatreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/MidlifePilotPodcastFreedom Aviation Network: https://freedomaviation.network/

From BMX tracks to the Iditarod trail, and from Yale Law to global justice reform, Matt Garretson's life is a masterclass in resilience, curiosity, and purpose-driven innovation. In this episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with Matt to explore how his unique blend of risk-taking, compassion, and intellectual rigor led him to reshape the legal services sector, build businesses that impact thousands, and embark on extreme adventures that test the limits of human endurance. Whether it's resolving billion-dollar settlements, pioneering AI in the legal industry, or pedaling 1,000 miles across frozen Alaska, Matt's story is proof that the best results come from observing, engaging, adapting, and persevering. His daily formula:  “My guiding mantra each day was that I must be methodical about observing (all data re terrain, weather, gear, etc.), engaging (with the underlying assumptions derived from those observations), adapting (because everything changes constantly when executing in an unpredictable/uncontrolled environment), persevering (having faith/confidence that i have the body, mind and spirit to accomplish the daily goals if i stay methodical about this loop). I broke each day into hour segments meaning for instance i didnt plan for 60 miles or 15 hours each day….i just needed to make it for instance from 9 AM to 10AM…then i can make it to 11 and if I made it to 11 then certainly 12 was possible etc. 18 days later I was in Nome!!!” This isn't just a story about legal innovation or adventure sports — it's a blueprint for high-stakes decision-making in life and business. Matt's “Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere” framework, forged in the crucible of both courtroom battles and Arctic winds, is a practical leadership model for anyone navigating uncertainty. Leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-performers will walk away with actionable insights on risk management, building trust in complex negotiations, integrating AI into human-centered processes, and maintaining clarity when the stakes are high and the variables keep changing. Origin shapes destiny — The combination of his father's risk-taking spirit and his mother's intellectual curiosity formed the foundation of Matt's worldview. Unconventional paths have power — Yale undergrad + night law school created a rare blend of elite theory and gritty pragmatism. Faith in action — Matt's theology degree grew out of reconciling the good and harm he saw in organized religion. Neutrality is a business model — Creating fair, transparent systems for complex legal settlements can transform entire industries. AI accelerates trust — Tools like Pattern Data and Jane are reshaping how the legal profession processes and shares information. Adventure as a leadership lab — Extreme endurance events sharpen decision-making and adaptability. Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere — A simple yet powerful framework for survival and success. Moisture management matters — Small, counterintuitive habits can make or break long-term success in any high-stakes environment. Find the middle ground — In negotiations, you've likely reached fairness when both sides are slightly unhappy but see the logic. Impact over income — Matt's latest venture in Guatemala proves that business growth and social good can be inseparable. 00:00 – Intro & guest setup 05:35 – Matt's origin story: risk-taking father, intellectual mother 09:00 – Discovering law as a second-phase career 11:55 – Theological studies: reconciling faith and harm 17:28 – The birth of a neutral legal administrator 21:11 – World Trade Center, BP Oil Spill, and mass tort work 27:39 – Truth, accountability, and finding reliable sources 31:44 – AI's role in transforming the legal industry 39:23 – Epic adventures: Great Divide, Baja Divide, Iditarod 45:58 – The Observe–Engage–Adapt–Persevere model 53:48 – Burnbright: blending business, social impact, and job creation

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Ingrid Piller speaks with Sari Pietikainen about her new book Cold Rush (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book is an original study of “Cold Rush,” an accelerated race for the extraction and protection of Arctic natural resources. The Northernmost reach of the planet is caught up in the double developments of two unfinished forces – rapidly progressing climate change and global economic investment - working simultaneously in tension and synergy. Neither process is linear or complete, but both are contradictory and open-ended. This book traces the multiplicity of Cold Rush in the Finnish Arctic, a high-stakes ecological, economic, and political hotspot. It is a heterogeneous space, understood as indigenous land within local indigenous Sámi people politics, the last frontier from a colonial perspective, and a periphery under the modernist nation-state regime. It is now transforming into an economic hub under global capitalism, intensifying climate change and unforeseen geo-political changes. Based on six years of ethnography, the book shows how people struggle, strategize, and profit from this ongoing, complex, and multidirectional change. The author offers a new theoretical approach called critical assemblage analysis, which provides an alternative way of exploring the dynamics between language and society by examining the interaction between material, discursive, and affective dimensions of Cold Rush. The approach builds on previous work at the intersection of critical discourse analysis, critical sociolinguistics, nexus analysis and ethnography, but expands toward works by philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. This book will be of interest to researchers on language, discourse, and sociolinguistics interested in engaging with social critique embedded in global capitalism and accelerating climate change; as well as researchers in the social and human sciences and natural sciences, who are increasingly aware of the fact that the theoretical and analytical move beyond the traditional dichotomies like language/society, nature/human and micro/macro is central to understanding today´s complex, intertwined social, political, economic and ecological processes.

Israel strikes the headquarters of Hamas political leaders in Qatar. Hamas says five of its members are dead. Israel calls it retaliation for a gun attack yesterday in Jerusalem. Qatar calls today's strike a cowardly criminal assault. The escalation is drawing condemnation from other countries in the Middle East, and around the world.And: Barrie, Ontario becomes the latest city to declare a state of emergency to address homeless encampments. The mayor says there aren't enough services for the people, and there has been an uptick in crime.Also: U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff regime is creating havoc for businesses trying to keep up with the changes.Plus: A Canadian “men's nationalist" group prompts concern about the rise of extremist organizations, Nepal's prime minister steps down, CAF ship in the Arctic to practice protecting Canada's sovereignty, and more.

As climate change reshapes the Arctic, the Northwest Passage has become a flashpoint. Russia and China are pressing for freedom of navigation, raising urgent questions about sovereignty, security, and defense spending. Professor Ian Holloway, veteran and former Dean of Law at the University of Calgary, shares why Canada must step up alongside the U.S. to safeguard shared maritime resources.

A group of scientists think they can geoengineer the Arctic's melting ice, thickening it by pumping freezing seawater onto the surface during the winter.  Geoengineering is the large-scale – and often experimental – manipulation of the environment in an attempt to slow down climate change. The question is, is it mad science? Or our last hope?    Science correspondent Thomas Moore has visited the Climate Repair Unit in Cambridge, where they're attempting to thicken Arctic ice. He joins Niall to explain the research and the controversies surrounding it.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill        

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Ingrid Piller speaks with Sari Pietikainen about her new book Cold Rush (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book is an original study of “Cold Rush,” an accelerated race for the extraction and protection of Arctic natural resources. The Northernmost reach of the planet is caught up in the double developments of two unfinished forces – rapidly progressing climate change and global economic investment - working simultaneously in tension and synergy. Neither process is linear or complete, but both are contradictory and open-ended. This book traces the multiplicity of Cold Rush in the Finnish Arctic, a high-stakes ecological, economic, and political hotspot. It is a heterogeneous space, understood as indigenous land within local indigenous Sámi people politics, the last frontier from a colonial perspective, and a periphery under the modernist nation-state regime. It is now transforming into an economic hub under global capitalism, intensifying climate change and unforeseen geo-political changes. Based on six years of ethnography, the book shows how people struggle, strategize, and profit from this ongoing, complex, and multidirectional change. The author offers a new theoretical approach called critical assemblage analysis, which provides an alternative way of exploring the dynamics between language and society by examining the interaction between material, discursive, and affective dimensions of Cold Rush. The approach builds on previous work at the intersection of critical discourse analysis, critical sociolinguistics, nexus analysis and ethnography, but expands toward works by philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. This book will be of interest to researchers on language, discourse, and sociolinguistics interested in engaging with social critique embedded in global capitalism and accelerating climate change; as well as researchers in the social and human sciences and natural sciences, who are increasingly aware of the fact that the theoretical and analytical move beyond the traditional dichotomies like language/society, nature/human and micro/macro is central to understanding today´s complex, intertwined social, political, economic and ecological processes.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism. Episode 178 - Carry On Cruising (1962) "During the War I did Arctic runs that would've made HMS Ulysses look like a trip to Brighton. Without getting a scratch! Two days on a simple cruise with you lot and look at me!" The sixth installment in the beloved Carry On franchise, 1962's Carry On Cruising holds a special place in the series' history. Not only did it take the familiar brand of British seaside humour to the high seas, but it was also the very first Carry On film to be shot and presented in glorious Eastmancolor. This transition to a vibrant palette marked a significant step forward for the series, elevating its visual appeal and setting a new standard for the films that would follow. However, the production was not without its own undercurrents of drama, and the final product received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike, cementing its status as a unique and much-debated entry in the Carry On canon. All aboard the SS Happy Wanderer for what is, in theory, a relaxing cruise. Captain Crowther, played by the eternally exasperated Sid James, is hoping for one last, quiet trip before a swanky promotion.   His hopes are, naturally, torpedoed within minutes. His crack team of sailors has been replaced by a collection of Britain's finest bumblers, seemingly sourced from a village fete raffle.     There's Kenneth Williams as the First Officer, whose vocabulary is more expansive than the Atlantic itself, yet possesses the practical seamanship of a goldfish. Kenneth Connor is the ship's doctor, a man more interested in diagnosing a case of love-at-first-sight with a passenger than any actual ailments. And let's not forget Lance Percival as the chef, a culinary genius who discovers his arch-nemesis is the gentle rocking of the boat.   What follows is less a luxury cruise and more a floating slapstick convention, now presented in dazzling colour for the very first time.     This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts   Bonus content available at: patreon.com/ReelBritanniaPodcast   Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod    Thanks for listening Scott and Steven    

When it comes to climate change, we often think of tipping points as having a huge negative effect. Be it the loss of ice sheets in the Arctic, the deforestation of the Amazon rain forest or the alteration of ocean currents, scientists have identified several key systems on the Earth that will be impossible to reverse if they cross a critical threshold. But if we look at the situation from the opposite side, there are also several positive tipping points that, given the correct momentum, can potentially halt the crisis the planet is facing. In this episode, we're joined by Prof Tim Lenton, chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science at the University of Exeter, to talk about his latest book Positive Tipping Points – How to Fix the Climate Crisis. He tells us how the pop group A-ha helped Norway to lead the way in the adoption of electric vehicles, how government mandates can act as powerful amplifiers to get us closer to these vital climate tipping points, and how each positive tipping point can feed into another to push us closer to a greener future.

Ghost takes listeners on a sweeping journey from Africa's mineral wars to China's bold calls for a new global system. He breaks down Trump's quiet role in negotiating peace in the Congo through Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, exposing how decades of corruption, Israeli diamond cartels, and corporate exploitation left $24 trillion in minerals at the center of global conflict. Ghost explains how Rwanda-backed militias, black-market smuggling, and coups tie directly to deep state networks, while Qatar positions itself as the world's new mediator. Shifting to China, he unpacks the SCO summit where Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, and Iran's president pledged multipolar cooperation against Western hegemony, with Trump's tongue-in-cheek Truth Social posts adding another layer of intrigue. From Ebola outbreaks in the Congo to Putin's Arctic deals and Kim's pledge to Russia, Ghost connects the dots between cartels, coups, and competing world orders. A dense, fiery episode that blends history, geopolitics, and narrative warfare into one.

Today we're talking with Romain Chuffart is with the Arctic Institute. We're turning our attention to one of the most fragile and rapidly changing regions on Earth — the Arctic.This vast, icy expanse at the top of the world plays a crucial role in regulating our global climate and is home to unique ecosystems and Indigenous communities whose lives are intertwined with the land and sea.

Matt Ehret and Ghost dive into the geopolitics of power, finance, and space with a sprawling discussion that begins with Russia's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev. They trace his rise from Stanford and Goldman Sachs to orchestrating Russian privatization schemes, WEF connections, and his surprising pivot toward fostering U.S.–Russia–China cooperation. The hosts explore Dmitriev's ties to Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi purge of 2017, and how those moves reshaped global finance, tech, and even Twitter's role as an intelligence weapon. From there, they pivot to General Flynn's recent Q-linked posts, General Kwast's comments on Trump and Putin's Arctic energy strategy, and revelations about joint nuclear reactor projects on the moon. The conversation blends hard geopolitics with philosophical reflections on peace, the space economy, helium-3, quantum computing, and humanity's capacity for redemption. With free-flowing banter and live analysis, Matt and Ghost challenge listeners to see beyond Cold War psyops into a new paradigm of cooperation and sovereignty.

What causes suicide epidemics—and how can we prevent them? Many suicides are caused by biological mental illness, but sometimes the suicide rate of a particular group jumps—two-, three-, or even ten-fold—in a short time, behaving like an epidemic. Suicide epidemics unfold more slowly than microbial plagues like flu or malaria, but they happen far too quickly to result from genetic changes and affect far too many people to be explained away as spontaneous cases of brain injury. These epidemics have occurred in America's rustbelt towns, Russia's cities, and indigenous communities from the Arctic to the Pacific Islands. They tend not to be associated with wars, poverty, or environmental disasters but with a rupture in the social environment so profound that people come to question their most intimate attachments. The mental pain that drives suicide has been likened to the flipside of love, but if so, how does love suddenly disappear—or seem to—from the lives of thousands of people at once? In Why Live: How Suicide Becomes an Epidemic (Columbia Global Reports, 2025), public health researcher Dr. Helen C. Epstein sets out to find the answer. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

When the Salem witch trials reached their peak of hysteria in 1692, 81-year-old Giles Corey became the only person in American history to receive a court-ordered execution by crushing, defiantly gasping "more weight" as stones were piled on his chest over two agonizing days. His gruesome death, carried out in a public pit where neighbors could watch, helped turn the tide against the witch trials as witnesses realized no true servant of Satan would endure such torture with such stubborn defiance.==========HOUR ONE: Like many desolate places, the Arctic has its share of ghost stories and haunted legends floating around the frigid, wild areas of its domain. It might be the frights rather than the cold that gives you goosebumps. (Ghostly Shivers of the Arctic Circle) *** You never know what might be lurking just out of sight – in the shadows, behind a door. I'll share a few true stories that might make you double-check the locks at night and check the closet before going to bed. (Never Trust The Dark) *** When you think of the Salem Witch Trials, you typically think of women being burned at the stake, innocently accused of witchcraft. There are two incorrect assumption about that mental picture. First, most of the accused were hung, and none have been truly verified to be burned alive. And second, sorcery and Satan worship were not seen to be bound by gender, and so either a man, woman, boy, or girl could be a witch. And one of those unfortunate men was Giles Corey – but his punishment went beyond the norm, and into the gruesome. (The Most Dreadful Execution of The Salem Witch Trials)==========HOUR TWO: “The devil made me do it.” It's an excuse that has been used so often by so many that it has lost its meaning, and its effectiveness. So only a fool or a madman would commit a horrible act and then try to blame it on the devil or a demon… unless, of course, that person truly believes that is exactly what happened to them. (A Demon Made Me Do It) *** The little Norwegian village of Bærum Verk still stands as an old foundry settlement, and is an active place, both as a place to work, and as a place to live – and as a place to keep living even after you're dead. (The Most Haunted Village in Norway) *** There are more than a few stories from upright citizens around the world who claim to have seen tiny humans. I'm not talking about the diminutive human beings we used to classify as dwarves or midgets until we became more enlightened. I'm talking about short, maybe two-foot tall, perfectly proportioned people. (Big Stories About Little People)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: When John and Eva were married they told their relatives that they planned to honeymoon on the Atlantic coast, but John had another plan, and it would not be his last deception. But it would be the first act in what ended up being a mystery that has still gone unsolved to this day. (The Lawrenceburg Shanty-Boat Mystery) *** Weirdo family member James Pierce brings a true story that he calls, “It Came Through the Screen Door”. *** A 5-year-old boy having the time of his life at a carnival suddenly goes missing – and when found later there is no evidence whatsoever as to how he got where he was, who took him there, or what happened to him before he was found. (The Disturbing Case of Little Stephen McKerron) *** Weirdo family member Joy Cruz remembers something her mother told her as a child… and it quite possibly saved her soul.

In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne sits down with fine art and conservation photographer Jonas Paurell to discuss his Arctic Transcendence series, which explores the fragile beauty of the Arctic region. Jonas shares his journey from human rights lawyer to full-time photographer, recounting the life-changing health scare that prompted him to pursue his passion for photography and conservation. They dive into his creative approach—using negative space and minimalism to highlight the impermanence and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes—while also exploring the deeper purpose behind his art: inspiring love for nature as a means to protect it. Jonas and Matt touch on the challenges and ethics of photographing wildlife in threatened environments, the importance of community in photography workshops, and the balance between commercial success and personal creativity. Jonas also discusses his upcoming exhibition at the Hasselblad Foundation and the evolving regulations in Arctic photography. Throughout, the episode offers thoughtful reflections on finding purpose, the role of art in conservation, and the power of long-term commitment to a single project.
