Modern trail running shoes are better than they've ever been. So why do so many runners still find themselves drawn to older designs like the Nike ACG LDV?Josh and Inky use one nostalgic shoe to explore a bigger question: what happens when an industry spends years optimizing toward the same answer? Somewhere between old Nike catalogs, modern trail shoes, and a sea of increasingly similar products, they uncover why certain designs still stop us in our tracks.Shout out to Marty from Global Sales Guys who talks about the Sea of Sameness in outdoor retail.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksThe Mountain That Made ACGInky's Article about theROCKERRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningI Was Wrong About KiprunPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Western States 100 occupies a different place in trail running than almost any other race. Months before the starting gun, runners and fans are already studying the field, imagining the canyons, debating contenders, and wondering what story will emerge from Auburn.This episode explores why Western States feels bigger than a race. From Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet to Wendell Robie, Rucky Chucky, and the old buckle holders still working aid stations, Josh makes the case that Western States belongs in the same conversation as The Masters and the Kentucky Derby.Not because of the sport, but because of what happens when greatness, history, place, and uncertainty all meet in the same event.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps01:54 Elite Runners vs 'Participation Runners'08:05 The Course as Character11:14 The Importance of The Course13:54 The Importance of Rucky Chucky16:12 The Dual Nature of the Race19:58 The Spirit of American Trail Running22:09 The Unfolding Drama of Race DayResources / Links2026 WSER Entrants ListLive on Course - LoC by BorderlandsBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesTrail Running Loves Winners, Does it Love Competitors?Ultra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Today's guest is Claudette Zepeda, award-winning chef, mom, self-described border kid, poet, and author of the new cookbook “Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States.” Claudette's book is a deeply personal celebration of the food, family, and culture that shaped her, from Tijuana and San Diego to Jalisco and beyond. Claudette joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the long road to writing her first cookbook, why she was determined to create something that would stand the test of time, and how her identity as a border kid informs everything she cooks. She shares stories about her family, her kids, the recipes they inspired, and the women who taught her resilience, creativity, and the power of the village. They also dive into recipes from “Cooking the Borderlands,” including her White Widow salsa, arroz poblano, birria, and the Chinese-Mexican dishes that reflect the food culture of Tijuana and Mexicali. Plus, Claudette talks about her San Diego airport restaurant project with Tony Hawk, her salsa macha collab with Señor Lechuga, and the life-changing experience of walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

Trail running culture loves winners. That's obvious. The sport builds documentaries about them, fills Instagram feeds with them, and spends months debating who will win Western States. But the more Josh thinks about it, the more he wonders whether trail running is actually comfortable with the competitive mindset that creates those winners in the first place.As Western States season begins, this conversation explores the difference between the participation version of trail running and the elite version, why those two worlds often get conflated, and what we miss when we use the values of one to understand the athletes competing in the other.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:00 Two Sports Sharing One Start Line02:51 The Values That Make Champions05:49 Elite, Professional, and Why It Matters08:38 What Trail Running Rewards11:26 Telling an Inward Story About an Outward Competition14:22 Do We Actually Want Competitors?Resources / LinksBorderlands.ccSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

As today's UFO conversation becomes increasingly centered on American military footage and government hearings, it's important to remember that this phenomenon has never respected borders. In this re-release of Somewhere in the Skies, Ryan revisits the 2004 Mexican Air Force UFO encounter, where infrared cameras aboard a military patrol aircraft captured multiple unknown objects during an official mission. Along with military testimony, radio transmissions, and reports delivered to Mexico's Secretary of Defense, the case remains one of the strongest examples of UFO activity beyond the United States. Joined by researcher Ruben Uriarte, Ryan explores extraordinary cases spanning Mexico and the American Southwest, including the Cisco Grove encounter, the Carlos de los Santos incident, and the rumored Coyame UFO crash. Revisiting this conversation today serves as a reminder that the UFO mystery is global, deeply human, and far bigger than any one country's narrative.

Professional running can quietly turn into pressure, performance, sponsorship obligations, and constant visibility. This episode with Jacob Puzey is for runners who have felt burnout creeping into the thing they once loved and want to rediscover simplicity, rhythm, and freedom in running again.After twenty years as a professional runner, coach, race director, and sponsored athlete, Jacob reflects on what happened when the pressure finally disappeared. What starts as a conversation about road running slowly becomes something much deeper about identity, aging, social media, routine, and why signing up for hard things still matters even after competition stops mattering.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:43 Rediscovering the Joy of Running07:41 The Journey Back to Running11:39 The Transition from Competition to Personal Growth14:50 The Journey to Scholarship and Running19:20 The Importance of Commitment in RunningResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Trail running usually becomes real for people at a local ultra, not while watching UTMB or Western States online. The parking lot at 5am with 53 runners, one exhausted race director, and volunteers giving up their Saturday to help strangers keep moving is still the clearest entry point into the sport. This episode is for the runners who believe the soul of trail running still lives there.Josh explores why the local 50K may be the most important layer in trail running, how participation precedes fandom in ultra culture, why authenticity in trail running still feels earned instead of performed, and why the small grassroots races that built the sport are becoming increasingly fragile in the modern era of spectacle, prestige, and professionalization.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps02:52 The Turning Point of the Race03:57 The Ecosystem of Trail Running07:45 The Local Ultra: An Introduction to Trail Running Culture11:22 The Challenges of Local Trail Races18:00 The Importance of Local Races in Trail RunningResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Kacey Musgraves' album Middle of Nowhere finds the country outlaw taking a break from exploring her inner life to look outward, back to her roots: the regional stylings of Texas. She says the album was inspired by a sign in her hometown that read “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.” The album's sounds probe this same borderland mentality, encapsulating desert noir, Norteño, tejano, and soft rock. Plus, Willie Nelson. The result is a collection of songs that are funny, moving, and reaching back to the sound Musgraves established in her debut record 13 years ago. But the world of country has changed since then – artists like Ella Langley have taken over the charts, cribbing Musgraves' sound while courting a more conservative audience. Can the genre encompass all these multitudes? Nate and Charlie explore this debate through Middle of Nowhere.

In today's Daily Fix:Sony is raising prices yet again—this time to PlayStation Plus. The gaming subscription service will go up to $10.99 for a one-month subscription, and $27.99 for a three-month sub. This obviously did not go down well with PlayStation gamers, who have already suffered through PS5 console price hikes. Many are even questioning why a subscription is even necessary to play online games. In other news, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has revealed the latest change to the brand, this time from 'Xbox' to 'XBOX' (note the all-caps). This follows the results of an online poll she posted asking fans if they prefered the regular capitalizaton or the all-caps look. And finally, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed that the original Borderlands underwent a last-minute art style change that cost the company a year in development and an extra $50 million.As part of IGN's 30th anniversary celebration, we're giving away 30 free IGN Live tickets a day.

Trail running culture melted down this weekend after a Satisfy x Adidas event triggered accusations of cringe, elitism, rich-kid cosplay, and the death of authenticity. But the backlash revealed something much deeper about where trail running is headed and why so many runners reacted emotionally to it.In this episode, Josh explores why the footage felt so disconnected online, why Satisfy exposes contradictions already present inside trail running, and how the sport may already be transforming into something larger than athletics alone. From Cocodona and expensive race culture to meme accounts, identity signaling, and the rise of trail running media, this conversation is about the growing tension between authenticity, aesthetics, status, and culture inside modern trail running.This one's for the trail runners trying to understand what the sport is becoming and why that question suddenly feels so uncomfortable.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:00Resources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Trail running is getting bigger fast. Bigger races, bigger brands, bigger media, and more money entering the sport every year. What happens to trail running culture as all of that growth accelerates? And will the human side of trail running we all love survive?Recorded in Stockholm at Klättermusen headquarters, Josh sits down with Gonz Ferrero, CEO of Klättermusen, and Billy White, founder of Sörmlands 100, to talk about UTMB, independent trail races, elite sport versus dirtbag culture, why trail running still feels different from road running, and who actually gets to shape what the sport becomes from here.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:05 The Growth of Trail Running00:24 The Evolution of Trail Running13:19 The Personal Connection to Trail Running33:33 The Diverging Paths of Trail Running37:38 The Future of Trail Running: Balancing Elite and Everyday ExperiencesResources / LinksKlattermusen Sormlands Trail RaceSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningUltra Runners Need More Than Normal LifeWhy Running Changes You with Raz RaufPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

From sharing stages with The Rolling Stones, Muse, and The Cult to landing music across UFC, WWE, blockbuster films, and major video game franchises, Des Rocs has quietly built one of the most compelling stories in modern rock. But behind the explosive live performances, leather-clad swagger, and cinematic sound is a journey marked by setbacks, uncertainty, industry struggles, and a serious health scare that nearly changed everything. In this episode, Des Rocs opens up about the making of the upcoming album To Hell And Back and the years of pressure, frustration, and personal growth that shaped it. The conversation dives into recording the album live to capture its raw intensity, battling through a painful spinal condition during the process, and searching for something timeless in an era where authenticity can feel increasingly rare. We also discuss the changing landscape of rock music, building a loyal audience from the ground up, the impact of hearing his music featured by UFC and WWE, collaborating with Zayn, and why the spirit of rock ‘n' roll still matters now more than ever. At its core, this is a conversation about creative obsession, survival, and continuing to push forward when the odds say otherwise.

Cocodona 250 exposed something trail running still doesn't totally want to admit: the audience is already here, but the fan experience still hasn't caught up. After spending more than 13 hours inside the livestream tracking viewer behavior in real time, Josh breaks down why thousands of people kept tuning in while constantly disconnecting from the coverage itself.This conversation goes deep on audience churn, race orientation, commentary drift, storytelling, and why trail running media still relies too heavily on goodwill from diehard fans.

Ultra running nutrition is getting more extreme. More carbs, more precision, more pressure to “get it right.” But if you've ever had your stomach shut down mid-race, you know something isn't adding up. This episode is for runners trying to fuel better without breaking their body in the process.I sit down with Chris Bellamy, engineer, ultra runner, and founder of Yanaa, to explore the hidden cost of the high-carb movement, what it's doing to gut health, and why real food might be the missing piece.

Na een lekker weekend is het tijd voor een nieuwe werkweek. Het is aan het driemanschap Boris, Jasper en JJ om de verse werkdagen comfortabel in te luiden. De drie heren zijn allemaal goed van de tongriem gesneden en willen het bewijs daarvan tonen in een nieuwe aflevering van Brievenmaandag. Vragen zijn er volop. Bijvoorbeeld waarom Boris de pre-sequel van Borderlands nooit heeft geroemd? Terwijl deze volgens de briefschrijver van ongekend goed niveau was. En zien wij de toekomst van LINUX ook rooskleurig in nu Windows steeds meer gesloten raakt en ook flink wat centjes kost? Wat vinden we het mooiste begin van een videogame? Het tofste intro met andere woorden? De antwoorden op al deze vragen en meer ga je in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 4 mei 2026 zien en horen.Waarom hebben we het nooit over de futuristische pre-sequel van Borderlands?Een andere vraag waar de drie zich over buigen, is of we in ons leven wel eens een financiële blunder hebben gemaakt. Dit naar aanleiding van een brief waarin de schrijver aangeeft dat hij GTA 2 kocht in plaats van zijn fiets te repareren. Iets wat zijn ouders hem niet bepaald in dank afnamen. Plus, denken wij dat AI de creativiteit uit de creatieve sector gaat zuigen? De persoon die de mail schreef, is daar namelijk wel bang voor.Resident Evil Requiem in het vliegtuig spelenVeel van onze kijkers zijn van het reizen. Voor het plezier, maar soms ook voor hun werk. Bij deze briefschrijver gaat het om iemand die veel en lang vliegt. De tijd in de lucht spendeert hij vaak op zijn Switch 2. Nu wil hij beginnen met Resident Evil Requiem en daarna Resident Evil 3 en 4 spelen. Is dat wel een goed plan? Of dient hij er een andere volgorde op na te houden? En is de Switch 2 wel de ideale handheld om deze game op te spelen?

676. Part 2 of our conversation with Frances Kolb Turnbell about Spanish Colonial Louisiana. Frances recently published an important history entitled, Spanish Louisiana: Contest for Borderlands, 1763–1803.  What happens when a fading French colony is handed over to a Spanish Empire determined to impose order? In this episode, we dive into Frances Kolb Turnbell's landmark book, Spanish Louisiana. We explore a Mississippi Valley that was far more than just a line on a map—it was a "fluid zone" where Spanish governors, defiant French colonists, Indigenous diplomats, and enslaved people seeking manumission constantly negotiated the terms of their own freedom. From the violent New Orleans Revolt of 1768 to the secret trade networks that fueled the American Revolution, Turnbell reveals how the people of the borderlands often shaped imperial policy more than the monarchs in Madrid ever did. Frances Kolb Turnbell is a historian of Early America and the Atlantic World with a specialization in the eighteenth-century Lower Mississippi Valley. She earned her PhD from Vanderbilt University and currently serves as the editor of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly while teaching at the University of North Alabama.

Welcome to the third and final episode of Season Eleven of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast.Season Eleven features a trio of linked lectures written and delivered by Renee Gladman during her time as a Bagley Wright Lecturer, in 2020 and 2021. Gladman shared these lectures over Zoom during Covid, in partnership with the Center for Imagination in the Borderlands at Arizona State University.These linked lectures, broadly titled “Am I A Fiction? // Three lectures on Invisibility, Fictional Knowing, and Writing-Drawing” explores the perplexities, epiphanies, inventions, and other phenomena that have been central to Renee Gladman's writing and drawing practices over the past two decades as well as indispensable to the shaping of her Ravicka series (Dorothy, a publishing project). These talks roam through several questions: How do we envision a future space or future city that can both recognize and nourish bodies that are exiled, fractured, othered, multiple, or ever shifting? How do we cultivate relationships with the non-known and non-visible forms that energize and make mysteries of our work and our living? And how do we sustain work across varying fields of thought and media?Today, we'll hear the final lecture in this trio, “Lines Into Grasses,” given November 4, 2021.To view the series of drawings that Renee shares in the video accompaniment to this lecture, please visit the BWLS website.Gladman's book of collected BWLS lectures, ⁠⁠⁠Theory for Moving Houses, is forthcoming from Wave Books, and is available ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.Visit us at our website, bagleywrightlectures.org, for more information about Bagley Wright lecturers, as well as links to supplementary materials on each lecturer's archive page, including selected writings.Music: "I Recall" by Blue Dot Sessionsfrom the Free Music ArchiveCC by NC

This culture started in dust and ephemerality. We build metropolises of art and fire, then we leave no trace. How do we translate that inspiration into a rhythm for everyday life? What happens when a temporary autonomous zone puts down roots? The Borderland is Scandinavia's largest and longest running Burning Man Regional event. It's "working out loud" culture fosters radical trust, allowing the community to create its own world where no one is in charge. The community also crowd-funded land that serves as the permanent home for their Regional event, and year-round collaborations of all kinds. How does the Borderland commit to the risk and reward of community buy-in? How does trusting that someone will have the answer lead to resiliency? How do the 10 Principles balance aspects of Scandinavian culture differently than US culture? Hear Andie set it up, then Stuart talk with Liselotte Norman and Hampus Lindblad.

675. Part 1 of our conversation with Frances Kolb Turnbell about Spanish Louisiana. Turnbell has written the first history of the Spanish period of colonial Louisiana: Spanish Louisiana. Part 1. Contest for the Borderlands: 1763-1803. What happens when a fading French colony is handed over to a Spanish Empire determined to impose order? In this episode, we dive into Frances Kolb Turnbell's landmark book, Spanish Louisiana. We explore a Mississippi Valley that was far more than just a line on a map—it was a "fluid zone" where Spanish governors, defiant French colonists, Indigenous diplomats, and enslaved people seeking manumission constantly negotiated the terms of their own freedom. From the violent New Orleans Revolt of 1768 to the secret trade networks that fueled the American Revolution, Turnbell reveals how the people of the borderlands often shaped imperial policy more than the monarchs in Madrid ever did. Frances Kolb Turnbell is a historian of Early America and the Atlantic World with a specialization in the eighteenth-century Lower Mississippi Valley. She earned her PhD from Vanderbilt University and currently serves as the editor of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly while teaching at the University of North Alabama.

Iron Hand Tonty's Account of the Route from the Illinois by the River Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Our provisions failing us, I left a man to take care of our things and went off by land; but as I had a fever constantly on me and my legs were swollen, we did not arrive at this village till St. Martin's day (November 11, 1680). During this journey we lived on wild garlick, which we were obliged to grub up from under the snow. When we arrived we found no savages: they were gone to their winter quarters. We were obliged to go to the places they had left, where we obtained hardly as much as two handfuls of Indian corn a day, and some frozen gourds which we piled up in a cabin at the water's side. Whilst we were gleaning, a Frenchman whom we had left at the cache, came to the cabin where we had left our little store of provisions. He thought we had put them there for him, and therefore did not spare them. We were very much surprised, as we were going off to Michilimakinac, to find him in the cabin, where he had arrived three days before. We had much pleasure in seeing him again, but little to see our provisions partly consumed. We did not delay to embark, and after two hours' sail, the wind in the offing obliged us to land, when I saw a fresh trail, and directed that it should be followed. It led to the Poutouatamis village, who had made a portage to the bay of the Puans. The next day, weak as we were, we carried our canoe and all our things into this bay, to which there was a league of portage. We embarked in Sturgeon Creek, and turned to the right at hazard, not knowing where to go. After sailing for a league, we found a number of cabins, which led us to expect soon to find the savages.

If you've ever hit a breaking point in endurance sports and wondered what actually determines whether you quit or keep moving, this conversation is for you. This episode explores the real mechanics of the ultrarunning mindset, beyond training or toughness.Matt Johnson has spent a lot of time at that edge, where the body is failing and the decision gets simple but brutal. Instead of motivation, this conversation gets into what actually happens in that moment, the thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that allow someone to keep going when stopping feels inevitable.This one's for runners and endurance athletes trying to understand what really happens at their limit.

Step into another unforgettable episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast with Charles and Joe—where laughter, life lessons, and a whole lot of nerd culture collide. The journey kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could have the soundtrack from any game or movie playing as your life's background music, which would you choose?” What follows is a fun and nostalgic deep dive into iconic soundtracks that could transform everyday life into something cinematic. From the peaceful, creative vibes of Minecraft, to the chaotic energy of Borderlands, the emotional melodies of August Rush, and the high-octane punk anthems of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the hosts and listeners paint a vivid picture of what life would sound like with the perfect score. Then comes the roll of the dice—because no Wise_N_Nerdy episode is complete without a little randomness—and it lands on the “How Do I…?” segment. Here, Charles and Joe tackle a question every parent wrestles with: How do you raise independent kids without making them feel neglected? Through honest conversation and real-life experience, they break down the importance of balancing guidance with freedom—showing that encouragement, presence, and intentional support are the true keys to helping kids grow with confidence. But before things get too serious, the dice demand a tonal shift—enter the Bad Dad Jokes. Bob and Devocite unleash a rapid-fire barrage of groan-worthy puns and eye-roll-inducing punchlines. It's chaotic, it's cringey, and it's absolutely hilarious—the kind of humor that defines dad life at its finest. As the dice roll once more, we're treated to the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where Charles and Joe weigh in on a thought-provoking story pulled from Reddit. The scenario? A daycare worker gets fired for showing Veggie Tales to kids. What unfolds is a nuanced discussion about boundaries, values, and decision-making in parenting spaces—proving that sometimes the most unexpected topics lead to the most meaningful conversations. Next up, it's time for “What Are You Nerding Out About?”—a glimpse into what's currently fueling the hosts' passions. Charles shares his ongoing journey through the hustle lifestyle, including a new venture as a patient advocate, while Joe leans into what matters most: family. From binge-watching Solo Leveling with his kids to unplugging on a camping trip, Joe reminds us that sometimes the best “nerdy” moments are the ones spent together. Finally, the episode wraps with the always-entertaining “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment. Joe delivers a hilariously awkward tale from his middle school days involving a science teacher, a desk… and a very questionable wardrobe decision. It's the kind of story that sticks with you—equal parts bizarre and unforgettable. This episode is a perfect blend of humor, heart, and honest reflection—an invitation to laugh, learn, and maybe even see your own parenting journey a little differently. So whether you're here for the dad jokes, the deep conversations, or the shared love of fandom, there's something for everyone. Come be part of the community, embrace the chaos, and most importantly—Find your FAMdom. Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Between the Buddha and the New Tsar: Urban Religion and Minority Politics at the Asian Borderlands of Russia (Cornell UP, 2026) by Dr. Kristina Jonutytė is an ethnography of contemporary urban Buddhism in Buryatia, a republic within the Russian Federation. Kristina Jonutytė shows how—in this ethnically and religiously diverse borderland region—Buryat Buddhists are caught between an oppressive, militant Russian regime and the tenacity of local religious and cultural forms. As Dr. Jonutytė narrates, historically Buryat Buddhism has been tightly linked with the Russian state ever since the imperial period, a relationship with mutual interest and benefits. Yet everyday Buddhist practices point to a more complex picture, shedding light on precarity, minoritization, struggles for cultural sovereignty, and infrapolitical religious forms. Between the Buddha and the New Tsar reveals the important ways in which the urban setting is not just a backdrop to Buddhism, but that religion and the city are intertwined and mutually impactful. 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. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Consciousness is this amazing, mind-bending riddle. It's the only thing any of us truly knows. We experience everything else in life through it. And yet we barely understand it. We don't know what it's made of or how it works or why it exists. But scientists and theorists have been trying to answer those questions, and have made some startling discoveries. The science writer Michael Pollan, known for books like “The Omnivore's Dilemma” and “How to Change Your Mind,” spent five years on the vanguard of this research. And his new book, “A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness,” shows that the closer you look at consciousness, the weirder it gets. I asked Pollan to walk through some of the places his mind wandered on this journey — including the role of the body and feelings in consciousness, fascinating studies that provide evidence for plant sentience, the researchers who have abandoned their old theories after trying psychedelic drugs, and the possibility that consciousness may not emerge from inside us at all. “I've entered this ‘never say never' realm with this research,” Pollan told me.

For centuries along the Anglo-Scottish border, crumbling castles and forgotten towers whispered warnings about something far worse than human violence. Redcap doesn't haunt these ruins because they're atmospheric—he lives there because they're perfect hunting grounds, soaked in the blood of centuries of warfare. This malevolent goblin of English and Scottish folklore isn't content to frighten travelers. He murders them, brutally and without hesitation, for one horrifying purpose: to keep his iron-shod boots moving and his distinctive red cap freshly dyed in human blood. In a landscape already stained by border conflicts and ancient brutality, Redcap represents the darkest possibility—that some creatures don't just feed on violence, they require it to survive.   freakyfolklore.com   carman-carrion.com   #Redcap #ScottishFolklore #EnglishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #BorderFolklore #GoblinLore #DarkFairies #CelticMyths #ScottishMyths #Folklore #BloodMagic #RuinedCastles   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com   Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion   Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion   CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/   SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184   Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!   DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/   https://www.carman-carrion.com/   Crypt Shop: https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/   MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.   Learn more about your ad choices.
