Podcasts about butterflies

Benji Jones, senior environmental correspondent at Vox, shares his reporting on how cities like New York can nurture threatened species, including monarch butterflies.

Wouldn't you like to not only understand God's Word, but also let it transform you by the power of the Holy Spirit? Oh friend, me too!  So today, we have Pastor Dan Jacobsen with us, and he is going to unpack how this is possible. But first, you should know there's something really special about this… Years ago, Dan unearthed an unpublished manuscript tucked away in a dusty manila folder that belonged to his grandfather, the legendary Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe! Dan finished the work his grandfather started, and the result is a beautiful new devotional and this inspiring conversation.  Dan not only gives us the inside scoop on his grandfather's life and ministry, but he also shares insights on why real change matters (no matter your age) and how you can stop settling for superficial fixes and start embracing true, Spirit-led transformation.

Jack Viertel has quietly shaped Broadway for decades, guiding landmark productions from behind the scenes while rarely stepping into the spotlight himself. In this conversation, he opens up about the art and the business of theatre, reflecting on how shows get chosen, how failures and successes both shape a career, and why Broadway has always been in a cycle of decline and rebirth. We also wander into the bigger picture — what the industry is doing right, where it stumbles, and what it will take to keep live theatre thriving for future generations. Of course, Jack's influence isn't limited to the stage. He's also a writer with a brand-new crime thriller, The Glass Eel, co-written with his son Josh. Described as “Breaking Bad on the coast of Maine,” the novel dives into the murky world of baby eels, environmental stakes, and the dark edges of human ambition. Jack shares how the story came to life, what it was like to collaborate with family, and why storytelling — in any form — remains at the heart of his work. Jack Viertel served for decades as Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Jujamcyn Theaters, helping shepherd productions including Into the Woods, M. Butterfly, Angels in America, The Producers, Book of Mormon, and Dear Evan Hansen to Broadway. He was also Artistic Director of New York City Center's Encores! series, and is the author of The Secret Life of the American Musical, Broadway Melody, and now The Glass Eel, co-written with his son.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has had a vibrant week full of significant moves that will resonate throughout her ever-expanding legacy. The biggest headline is her new duet with Zac Brown Band, “Butterfly,” which dropped on September 5 alongside a “deeply moving” official music video and immediately set country music circles abuzz. Zac Brown, speaking about the collaboration, said recording with Dolly was a lifelong dream—her interpretation brought “so much heart and soul” to this heartfelt track written as a tribute to his kids. Fans have called them an “iconic duo,” flooding social media with admiration for their chemistry and hoping for a possible live performance this December, since both Dolly and Zac will be in Las Vegas for their own high-profile residencies. The new song is part of Zac Brown Band's upcoming album “Love & Fear,” arriving December 5, with the band launching an immersive series of concerts at Sphere in Las Vegas the very same day, already stirring conversations in entertainment media and fans alike. Beyond music, Dolly continues to innovate on the business front. Tell Media reports she has disrupted the weight loss industry with a new venture touted for its quick results and her personal passion for helping those who struggle with health and body image. While the specific medical details are still under wraps, her public statements have already ruffled industry feathers and put her in the headlines as a pioneering businesswoman willing to take risks—though more specifics and third-party validations are still pending, so this is one for the “developing story” file.Not to be outdone on the philanthropic side, Dolly's Imagination Library remains as active as ever, expanding into Shasta County, California this week, bringing her signature literacy program to more families. The rollout was marked by local events and lots of regional press, reinforcing her deep and ongoing cultural impact well beyond entertainment.Earlier in the week, Dolly confirmed via multiple outlets that while she is retired from traditional touring, she is hardly leaving the stage. Starting in 2025, she will launch “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative multimedia symphonic storytelling experience in partnership with Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing. The tour's kickoff with the Nashville Symphony this March promises to introduce her classic hits and life stories to whole new audiences, all orchestrated in lush, inventive new arrangements.Lastly, Dolly's status as a business and entertainment powerhouse is cemented by CEOWorld Magazine's updated global ranking, which lists her as one of the world's ten richest female singers, with a net worth of $650 million, driven by successful ventures like Dollywood, a massive song catalog, and constant reinvention. No whispers of scandal, just a week of headlines that show Dolly Parton remains as dynamic and relevant as ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

“I bet you didn't think it was gonna turn out like this--February 4th, 2007 – it's a quiet Super Bowl Sunday in Abilene, Texas, where Charity Lee Bennett is working a busy shift at the local bar, but at around midnight, cops arrive at the bar, demanding to speak with Charity. Just hours earlier, a 911 dispatcher received a frantic call from her 13 year old son Paris, saying he just found his younger sister Ella, covered in blood – with the babysitter nowhere to be found. As Charity rushes back home to her kids, she has no idea that she will be thrown into the most unthinkable and disturbing betrayal: what really happened to Ella that night, and what does Paris have to do with it? Charity has written a book, "How Now, Butterfly?" which is a memoir about her personal grief & healing journey: https://www.amazon.ca/How-Now-Butterfly-Survival-Transformation/dp/1948239647Credits:Written, directed & edited by Matthew RiceResearched by Bianca Yzabelle TanVoiceover by William AkanaProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader-Sources:Getty ImagesThe Family I Had, Motto Pictures, 2017Inside Evil with Chris Cuomo: Murder in the Family, CNN, 2019Charity Lee Interview, Solminod, 2012

Hi Sleepy. This one drifts like an unnecessary car ride into town that turns into coffee left unfinished. From there we tumble back to 2006—binders full of tour dates, whispered phone calls with elk hunters named Kurt (or was it Koot?), and four people in a forest of 500 empty chairs, half of them heckling. Out comes Mr. Green Branch in his too-tight green suit, a grumpy caterpillar refusing change, while I wonder why I always end up in tights. Phones appear, disappear, reappear. Memory slips, blue light glows, meditation becomes a crutch, and suddenly sleep itself is just another improvisation. It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, nothing is required of you. Just drift.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlListen ad free and join my universe at: https://fallasleepwithhenrik.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

For the past four weeks, we’ve been a series called Transformation, in which we’ve been looking at the ways God wants to change us from the caterpillars He found us as into the butterflies He wants us to be. It is not just a slight adjustment — it’s a radical transformation, a metamorphosis powered by the Holy Spirit. Maybe, the biggest takeaway so far is that the process starts on the inside and works its way to the outside. Nothing is more crucial to deep, lasting change than our thoughts and attitudes, and Romans 12:2 says they need to be renewed. The word renewed means renovated, and a key part of any renovation is demo day. That’s where you rip out the old and remove the stuff that just doesn’t fit the new design. That’s the name of the message and our focus this week: finding out what needs to be demolished from our thoughts and attitudes.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton can't seem to slow down even for a moment. The biggest story making headlines is her powerful new duet, Butterfly, with Zac Brown and the Zac Brown Band, released September 5. Critics from MusicTalkers and Parade alike call the ballad a spiritual, cinematic anthem of resilience and hope. The release arrived not only with a beautifully produced track but also a deeply moving music video featuring both artists. According to Zac Brown, the collaboration was a dream come true, and he describes Dolly's vocals as transformative, saying she brought a whole new perspective and “so much heart and soul” to the song. Fans are already flooding social media with praise for the pairing and have made the video a must-watch on YouTube and Instagram in the first forty-eight hours.Butterfly is included in the Zac Brown Band's upcoming album, Love & Fear, due out December 5—the very day they launch their sold-out Las Vegas Sphere residency. Industry watchers are buzzing about a possible live duet during December's Sphere run, although no official announcement has been made. While this is not yet confirmed, the excitement is only amplified by Zac and Dolly's visible camaraderie on social media, with Zac's fiancée Kendra Scott even joining the chorus of enthusiastic fans.If that weren't enough, tomorrow night Dolly's legacy gets honored as the Cleveland Orchestra brings Threads: My Songs in Symphony to the Blossom Music Center. The production, developed by Parton herself with Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing, recasts Dolly's signature hits in a grand multimedia symphonic format. Parton will not appear on stage, but she's ‘featured on screen' throughout the evening in what she herself has called one of the most special projects of her career. This innovative celebration threads her life story and musical journey together for audiences nationwide—another sign her iconic catalog is only growing in stature.On the business front, Dolly continues to bat away internet scams using her likeness, specifically those false rumors about her endorsing CBD gummies that have popped up in unsanctioned Facebook ads. In a typically witty Instagram statement this week, Team Dolly clarified she has not endorsed any such product, declaring she's truly “the cake, cookie, and cornbread type.” Instead, she recently expanded her official food line with new Duncan Hines offerings, delighting fans with fresh cornbread and brownie mixes.And just to remind everyone she's always relatable, Dolly told Business Insider in a new interview that her go-to order at Taco Bell remains the classic soft taco—with extra hot sauce, of course.From music milestones to myth-busting on social media, September finds Dolly Parton as both an always-evolving icon and the down-to-earth queen her fans adore.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Paul Cantelon grew up with music in his blood—his mother played trumpet in the Philadelphia Symphony, his father was a preacher. A prodigy on violin, he debuted at UCLA's Royce Hall at 13, then studied piano across Geneva, Juilliard, and Paris. At 17, a bike accident left him in a coma and wiped out his memory; he had to relearn music from scratch. He went on to co-found the band Wild Colonials, release solo piano albums, and score films like The Diving Bell & the Butterfly, The Other Boleyn Girl, and W.. He's also written for silent film classics like Battleship Potemkin.

Have you ever wondered about what goes on at your local community theatre? Or have you, yourself, participated in community theatre and wished someone covered it in a book? Today's guest of the podcast, Leah Hager Cohen, set out to do just that in her 2001 release "The Stuff of Dreams". This book covered a specific performance in a season of plays for her local community theatre, dubbed one of the oldest community theatres in the country.  Despite having many other fantastic releases since her '01 release, she's on the show today because 'The Stuff of Dreams' was a formative book for Joe during his youth and he had her on the show to discuss all things community and theatre. Please note: Unfortunately, there were some audio issues with Leah's Zoom connection and the quality is not up to the usual standards, we've cleaned it up the best we could but we hope you enjoy it nonetheless. We'll have Leah back again soon to continue this discussion! Enjoy! About Leah Hager Cohen Leah Hager Cohen was born in Manhattan and raised at Lexington School for the Deaf in Queens (where her parents worked) and later in Nyack, New York. As a kid, she spent summers at Camp Kinderland, stiltdanced with the Bread and Puppet Theater, ran a follow spot at Elmwood Playhouse, and shelved books at Nyack Library. At age 16, Leah enrolled as a drama student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, then transferred to Hampshire College a year later to study writing. She joined an arts brigade in Nicaragua, worked as a nanny in Berkeley, rode a Greyhound bus across the country, and freelanced as an ASL interpreter in NYC before attending Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. The best praise she ever received came in a letter of recommendation by Edmund W. Gordon, her first boss after college: “She is impatient with institutional stupidity.” Her favorite quote about writing comes from the poet Joseph O. Legaspi: “My first memory of poetry was watching the rain on my windowsill when I was young, and touching the windowpane.” Leah is the author of 7 novels, 5 nonfiction books, one pamphlet, and the blog Love As A Found Object, as well as various and sundry essays, articles and reviews. As of September 2025, she has gone back to school, enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at Simmons University. About 'The Stuff of Dreams' In this unique theatrical memoir, novelist Cohen chronicles the ups and downs of her suburban community theater's struggles over the staging of David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly. The project is fraught with problems—the Arlington, Mass., theater and its conservative supporters are reluctant to stage a play that deals daringly with sexuality and race; meanwhile, it proves quite difficult to find an Asian man to play the transgendered lead (who also has a nude scene)—but the show must and does go on. Cohen, who loves working in theater, is a keen observer who never hesitates to pinpoint the problems and personality clashes endemic to the process of putting on a play. While she provides useful background, from the history of her theater (begun in 1913) to the importance of community theater in the U.S., she is best at describing the endlessly delicate negotiations between the small but award-winning theater's director, actors, designers and stagehands. Cohen is respectful of everyone's opinions and methods as they face M. Butterfly's considerable challenges to the theater's conventional approach to staging a production and moves us assuredly through her characters' process of political and artistic discovery. While never deeply probing the myriad social issues it raises, Cohen's backstage drama does give us a miniature yet nuanced glimpse into a world rarely explored.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

We’re in the fourth week of our Transformation series, which is based on Romas 12:2. The word “transformed” in this verse comes from the word from which we get “metamorphosis,” and everyone knows that is the process by which caterpillars become butterflies. Jesus didn’t come, so we could be better caterpillars; He came to change us into something completely different and new. Last week, we found out that accomplish that by changing the way we think. We have to renovate our thoughts and attitudes, which means approaching everything from the perspective Jesus instructed: we have to love God and love others. The title of last week’s message was “Start with Love,” and we’re going to continue that discussion this week by talking about what love looks like.

Evacuees are arriving in Hay River, N.W.T. from multiple communities. Residents of Fort Providence are watching and waiting as a fast-moving wildfire bears down on their homes. The smoke is spreading to other parts of Canada.And: In Newfoundland and Labrador, kids and families are trying to navigate the first days of school under the shadow of one of the province's worst wildfire seasons — with classrooms destroyed and smoke in the air.Also: Drought in Canada could be leaving Monarch butterflies hungry. New research shows they can't get the nectar they need to fuel their migrations.Plus: China hosts a summit with an eye to reorient the global trade map, earthquake recovery in Afghanistan, the possibilities of “open skies” in Canada, and more.

Over the course of the summer, we received lots of positive emails from listeners about improved butterfly numbers. Terry Flanagan met lepidopterist Jesmond Harding of Butterfly Conservation Ireland to find out whether our optimism this year is justified.
