Podcasts about blankets

Blankets of rain fall gently onto a grassy field. The steady rain creates a steady hush as the droplets nearby fall onto the wet earth and grass with a watery detail that makes this sound a perfect soothing background.Spotify listener?

Our Bucket List episodes showcase the greatest travel experiences on the planet. Today, we're going to the deserts of Arabia to go stargazing with the Bedouin and learn their secrets of the stars. This episode is about learning to see the stars through the eyes of a people who have lived in the Arabian desert for thousands of years, and whose very existence, and survival,l was shaped by the night sky. Recorded on location in our immersive documentary style, this episode is a chance to hear the Bedouin's stories of the sky. For it is through those stories of love, tragedy and revenge that they passed down the secrets of ancient astronomy. When we look at the night's sky we see fiery distant suns and orbiting planets. When they look at it, they see poetry, and the whole gamut of human experience written into each far off sparkling light. Let's set the scene: We have travelled for two hours into the El Harameal desert, from the oasis town of Alula, in Saudi Arabia, a place that few outsiders have seen before. Blankets and pillows are laid out in the sand, night has fallen, and a young Saudi woman named Badrea begins to speak… FIND OUT MORE If you enjoyed this episode, check out our full documentary series which we recorded on location: the Elements of Alula. Our first three episodes: water, earth and air were out last year. It was an incredible trip filled with ancient heritage sites, insane adventures, Arabian horses and one hot air balloon crash that turned out to be the most we've laughed on any trip.  Find out more about the destination at ExperienceAlula.com.

I met John while coaching for the Trail Rangers program this past season at Big Creek. He started as a roadie but found his gnarvana during Covid after his kids coerced him into the mountain biking world, and now he is hooked. Got his coaching certifications and he is off to the races. John also enjoys making a yearly pilgrimage to the Vermont loamers which we discussed as well. It is not without accidents though as we also chat about his hugey out at Blankets this past year. But hey he did get a sweet new Santa Cruz frame out of it! So strap in gnar gnation for this episode!

Send us a textHypothermia during anesthesia represents one of veterinary medicine's most common yet preventable complications. While warming methods abound, which ones actually work? Dr. Rachel Kreisler and veterinary students Mahtab Khanezarrian and John Boules join us to challenge conventional wisdom and share evidence-based solutions.Their groundbreaking research reveals something surprising: those cotton toddler socks commonly used in clinics provide absolutely no benefit for maintaining feline body temperature during procedures. Instead, their carefully designed "kitten mittens" made from down blanket material demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, keeping cats up to 1.2°F warmer with passive insulation alone. When low-voltage heating elements were added, temperature preservation improved even further.The science behind this breakthrough centers on redistribution hypothermia - the averaging of warmer core blood with cooler peripheral blood during the critical first 45 minutes after induction. By focusing protection efforts on the extremities rather than just the trunk, veterinarians can make a meaningful difference in patient outcomes. The research team shares practical insights about preparation timing, environmental temperature management, and pre-warming considerations that can be implemented immediately in practice.Looking ahead, Dr. Kreisler discusses promising new materials that may offer superior insulation while addressing the practical challenges of sanitation and reusability in clinical settings. Whether you're working in a standard veterinary practice or a specialized setting like MRI where warming options are limited, this episode delivers immediately applicable knowledge to enhance patient care. Listen now to transform your approach to feline temperature management during anesthesia, and discover why evidence-based medicine matters for even the most routine procedures.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.02.0095INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

In this episode:In a world where our running shoes are often treated like disposable fashion items, Stuart Jenkins, CEO of Blumaca, is on a mission to change the narrative. With a background in competitive running that once led him to the Olympic trials, he's now tackling the issue of foam waste in footwear with a sense of urgency that's downright inspiring. After uncovering the shocking amount of foam waste generated by shoe manufacturing – enough to produce billions of insoles – he decided to repurpose that foam into high-quality, sustainable products. This episode isn't just a feel-good story; it's a wake-up call about our consumption patterns. Jenkins shares his journey from an aspiring Olympian to an entrepreneur who's not just talking about sustainability but actively making strides to improve it. He discusses the innovative processes Blumaca employs to ensure that the foam waste is transformed into products that not only last longer but also perform better than the standard insoles we're used to tossing aside after a few runs. The irony? The very material we think of as trash is becoming a crucial component in high-performance footwear. And if you've ever wondered what happens to those old shoes piling up in your closet, Jenkins has some insight that might just inspire you to rethink your recycling efforts.Segments:[13:17]- Medical Mailbag:[40:15]- Interview: Stuart JenkinsLinksInformation can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10DyAp2F4b8vG0v4DvsO53L04zbXQp3qk/view?usp=share_link Stuart 's Facebook page @blumaka on Instagram Stuart 's Website Stuart on YouTube

A strangely intimate look at breakfast and violence—sometimes at the same time. We start with a couple rounds of Ice Cream b/w Violence, bounce through some hotel knob evaluations and best room competitions, and land in a series of escalating calls for just breakfast that spiral into close-quarters smoking and theoretical violence. Blankets and towels get mixed up with paper-based aggression, and wuppy demands breakfast with increasing urgency. Repeated shocks—from outlets and ice cream alike—lead into the mysterious saga of hickeys which somehow gets several calls. Things wrap up with hotel canaries, emotional manipulation, and the always-dangerous offering of the benefit of the doubt. This show is made possible by donations from listeners like you.

Artist Craig Thompson joins the show at long last to celebrate his new book, GINSENG ROOTS: A Memoir (Pantheon). We talk about how he spent ten summers of his childhood helping farm ginseng, how that herb connects rural Wisconsin with China and South Korea, how he balanced history, journalism, economics, and memoir in the pages of his book, and why he chose to make Ginseng Roots as a serial comic rather than a standalone book and how that affected his creative process. We get into how the book serves as a sort of midlife revision of his breakthrough book, Blankets, how the last chapter of the book had to happen in near-real-time, how a degenerative condition in his hands became a unifying theme to the book while almost derailing it, how he found the design language of the book and obsessed over a two-color process (to amazing results), and whether this is his swansong for comics (spoiler: it's not!). We also discuss what home means to him, 8 months into being on the road, what it was like discovering that he had a global audience, his ongoing relationship with his evangelical Christian upbringing, his editor's concerns that Ginseng Roots could open him up to accusations of cultural insensitivity (and how he got over it), all while geeking out over our fave cartoonists from the '90s indy period (go, Dylan Horrocks!), and more.

Today, we welcome acclaimed graphic novelist Craig Thompson to discuss his latest tome, Ginseng Roots. In this deeply personal book, Thompson returns to his rural Wisconsin roots to explore the fascinating world of ginseng cultivation that shaped his childhood. The conversation spans Craig's artistic evolution since his breakthrough memoir Blankets, his research trips to China that informed the book's historical elements, and how his early farming experiences continue to influence his creative process. You can keep up with Craig's latest work and appearances through his official website  craigthompsonbooks.com or by following him on Instagram @craigthompsonbooks. Support the show

In his award-winning 2003 graphic novel Blankets, Craig Thompson depicted his teenage love and fall from faith in rural Wisconsin. Now he returns to the story of his life with Ginseng Roots, which focuses on a minor detail that Blankets omitted: namely, 10 summers he spent as a boy weeding and harvesting American ginseng for a dollar an hour. Thompson maps the roots of the 300-year-old global ginseng trade from China and Korea to Marathon, Wisconsin, and profiles the other people tangled in the industry's whiskers: Hmong harvesters who migrated from Laos, American workers and industrial farmers caught up in the vicissitudes of global agriculture, and wild ginseng hunters the world over.Go beyond the episode:Craig Thompson's Ginseng Roots: A MemoirRead Matthew Denton-Edmunson's essay about wild ginseng hunters, “The Root Problem”Also mentioned: Scout McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisiible Art, Ted J.

Thompson discusses his journeys as a creator, the people he meets, his comics connection, his lean towards black and white, his relationship with Blankets, how memoir work changes relationships, the Space Dumplins experience, how projects affect one another, the roots of Ginseng Roots, figuring out what to include in memoir work, the story's serialization, comic rhythms, how he thinks of comics, the color and challenges of the book, the physical act of making comics, how making comics has changed how he sees the world, and more.
