This week, I talk with Wen-Yi Lee about her adult fantasy debut When They Burned the Butterfly—a fierce, Sapphic story of rage, inheritance, and transformation set in post-colonial Singapore. She shares how her homecoming to Singapore shaped this deeply personal book, how real history and mythology intertwined to form her world of fire magic and girl gangs, and why female rage and found family remain at the heart of her storytelling. We also dive into her creative process, from “chasing the shiny thing” when writing to reimagining real-life places and histories that have since disappeared. If you love Jade City, The Poppy War, or any fantasy that blazes with feminist fury, you will love When They Burned the Butterfly!

If you've been following Nature's Archive for a while, you might be familiar with the idea of “leave the leaves”. It represents one simple act of omission - not raking, blowing, or mulching leaf fall - that is resoundingly positive for the environment.But even if you think you know why leaving the leaves is helpful, I invite you to listen to today's guest, National Wildlife Federation naturalist David Mizejewski.If you are unfamiliar with David - let me just tell you his skill and enthusiasm for nature interpretation is second to none. Today, David walks us through all the ways leaves help the environment - and how bagging them up and sending them to a landfill makes a bad situation much worse.We also discuss useful tips for keeping leaves even if you have an HOA or difficult neighbors who might think you are neglecting your space. So if you still have leaves in your yard, please listen and take NWF's pledge to leave the leaves, and reap the rewards for years to come.Be sure to follow David on instagram, and get David's Book "Attracting Birds, Butterflies, and Other Backyard Wildlife". FULL SHOW NOTESPeople and OrganizationsNWF Certified Wildlife HabitatNWF's Pledge to Leave the LeavesBooks and Other ThingsAttracting Birds, Butterflies, and Other Backyard Wildlife - by David MizejewskiSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

It's magical gang warfare in Singapore, circa 1972. All the politics, history and gender you could ask for but folded into a plot that moves at breakneck speed and never lets you lose interest. We really liked this one.

Send us a textButterflies don't build marriages—choices do. We open up about the rush of infatuation, the friction of the fight for power, and the quiet strength of mature love, weaving our 26-year story through the science, the pitfalls, and the simple practices that help couples grow. You'll hear why dopamine and oxytocin make those early days feel like a dream, how cortisol and stress twist small annoyances into big battles, and what it takes to move from me-versus-you to us-versus-the-problem.We break down the three stages of love with honesty and hope. From late-night balcony confessions to the seven-year itch, we name what changes, what hurts, and what actually heals. Along the way, we offer concrete tools you can use tonight: summarize-before-you-respond listening, ground rules for hard talks, the three-to-one affirmation rule, and a pause, pray, plan approach for high-stakes decisions. We also tackle comparison, stonewalling, and scorekeeping, and we share how weekly family meetings, shared values, and small, daily touches restore trust and affection.If you've wondered where the spark went, or feared you've fallen out of love, this conversation reframes conflict as the classroom where love grows up. Mature love isn't less passionate; it's more secure, more generous, and far more sustainable. And yes, the butterflies can return in moments—when your habits make space for them. Want more? Our new book, Butterfly Love, tells the whole story and hands you the tools we use. Listen, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Let's be honest, babe — how many times have you said, "I just didn't feel the connection," and walked away from someone who could've actually been good for you? Today, we're going to break that pattern — because that "chemistry" you keep chasing? It's not connection. It's your trauma calling. In this episode, we're diving deep into the science and psychology of attraction — what really happens in your body when you feel butterflies, and why those butterflies are often a warning, not a green light. You'll learn how your subconscious is wired to recognize what's familiar, not necessarily what's healthy… and how to start reprogramming that pattern so you can attract love that feels calm, safe, and secure — not chaotic. We're talking biochemistry, emotional rewiring, and feminine awareness — because once you understand how your body and mind respond to love, you stop falling for potential and start choosing alignment. So get comfortable, take a deep breath, and let's talk about why that spark you keep waiting for might actually be the very thing holding you back from real love.

Episode 513: Ballot With Butterfly Wings Part 1 of the 2020 Election This week host Dave Bledsoe got kicked out of an Andrew Cuomo election rally for constantly drunkenly screaming “Andy, let's go pick up some bitches!” (Again) On the show this week we turn the clock back twenty five years to the election that broke America. (We could have had a Lockbox!) Along the way we learn that Dave voted for Ralph Nader. (What an asshole) Then we dig into why we have an Electoral College. (Slavery.) From there we meet the men who were vying to lead the country into the 21st Century, one a boring politician and the other a dumbass fratboy with a drinking problem and a famous last name. From there we head to Florida for an explanation of why Florida is like it is. (Weird, filled with old people and alligators).  We discuss the election night faux pas that left the media with egg on its face and shit in their nickers. Then we take a listen to the recently discovered recording of Al Gore's retracted concession speech to George W Bush. Our Sponsor this week is Ballot Express, when you need to rig an election fast, you need Ballot Express.  We open with a painfully young Jon Stewart FINALLY calling the 2020 Election and close with Joel Goguen who has anger issues.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss David Cronenberg, one of the truly great Canadian geniuses and the filmmaker credited with the advent of “body horror” (a distinction he bristles against, for what it's worth). Our B-Sides today include Fast Company, The Brood, M. Butterfly, and Spider. Our guest today is the incomparable Veronica Fitzpatrick, professor at Brown University and Editor-at-Large and Podcast Co-Host at Bright Wall/Dark Room.  We talk about how handsome Oliver Reed is in The Brood, how Cronenberg's films often start with a bang, how misguided M. Butterfly is, and how Fast Company was, in fact, a movie directed by David Cronenberg. There's talk of his novel Consumed, his multiple collaborations with certain great performers like Jeremy Irons, and his incredible, intellectual mind. This is a man who has adapted Stephen King, William Burroughs, Don DeLillo, J.G. Ballard, and Patrick McGrath. What range! There's the real-life French diplomat on which M. Butterfly is based, as well as the metatextual nature of both Cronenberg's adaptation of David Henry Hwang and his later picture A Dangerous Method. It's Cronenberg taking stock of the psychology of his own films! Fascinating. Veronica mentions B.D. Wong's Tony speech, we all marvel at the fact that Adrian Lyne remade Lolita (with Jeremy Irons!) in 1997 and it barely got a release! There's a lot in here! Happy Halloween!

Walter Marsh with the surreal tale of Colin Wyatt, the ski champion, mountaineer, wartime camouflage expert, artist, and naturalist who committed one of the world's biggest-ever museum heists in the 1940s.In January 1947, by chance, it was found that over 3,000 rare and precious specimens of butterflies had vanished from museums in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Alarmingly, the missing insects included many priceless ‘holotypes' — the first specimen of a given species to be identified, against which all others are compared.On the other side of the world, New Scotland Yard descended on a nondescript country house in Surrey, where they found a trove of over 40,000 butterfly specimens. The culprit was Colin Wyatt, a Cambridge-educated ski champion, mountaineer, wartime camouflage expert, artist, and amateur naturalist whose high-flying exploits cut a path from the Alps of Europe to a London court room to a final expedition to the jungles of Guatemala.Walter Marsh has written down the strange and confounding tale of the gentleman butterfly thief in his new book.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jennifer Leake, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores museum heists, museum thefts, gentlemen criminals, natural history, lepidopterists, butterflies, butterfly stealing,adventurers, skiing, mountaineering, war, WWII, alps, london, stealing from a museum, theft from museum, famous museum heists, strange criminals, smooth criminals, why do people commit crime, collectors, the collector, extreme collections.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

Quinn unpacks how the nervous system asks one question all day—Am I safe?—and why fight/flight/freeze/fawn are wise survival patterns (not personal failures). You'll learn fast, gentle regulation tools (physiological sigh, orienting, butterfly hug, vagal “voo”/humming), see them in action via pop-culture and literature examples, and leave with a 7-day plan to widen your window of tolerance. The aim: move from bracing for impact to breathing easier—then building a calmer, safer life you actually enjoy living in.What You'll LearnEmbodiment = biology: Your body is a home to be tended, not a problem to fix (Hillary McBride).Survival patterns are smart: Fight/flight/freeze/fawn kept you safe; now we teach your body new safety.Complete the stress cycle: Don't power through—release (Levine): breathe, shake, sigh, settle.Co-regulation matters: Calm spreads person-to-person (think Ted Lasso).Fast Practices (Try Today)Physiological sigh (20–30s): Inhale → tiny top-up inhale → long slow exhale (2–3x).Orienting (30–60s): Turn head, name 5 things you see, 4 touch, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste.Butterfly hug (60s): Cross arms, alternate taps L/R while breathing slowly.Vagal “voo” or hum (45s): Inhale, long chest-vibrating “voo” (or hum) 2–3x.Pop Culture & Lit MirrorsInside Out 2: Anxiety tries to control everything → name it, breathe, integrate (not exile).Ted Lasso: Panic softens via breath + safe people (co-regulation).The Bear: Unfinished cycles = alarms (tight jaw, shallow breath); the body keeps score.Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God: Janie's embodied “yes/no” as sovereignty.Mary Oliver, “Wild Geese”: “Let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”Mini Playbook for Divorced LifeText from ex detonates: 1 physiological sigh + orient; reply later from safety.First date freeze: Bathroom → butterfly hug 60s → decide from regulation.Co-parenting flare: Hand to heart + “voo” twice → This is my boundary. Lonely Saturday: 5-minute sensory walk → call a safe friend/pet time.7-Day Nervous System PlanMorning (1 min): Physiological sigh ×3 or butterfly hug.Mid-day (30s): Orienting—name 5 things you see.Evening (2 min): Gentle shake-out + humming/“voo.”Connection (3 min): Text/call a safe friend or sit quietly with a pet.Boundary rep (one line): “I'll need to think about that and get back to you.”Quotable“Our bodies are not problems to be solved; they are homes to be tended.” — Hillary McBride“Trauma isn't in the event, it's in the nervous system.” — inspired by Peter Levine“You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” — Mary OliverResources MentionedHillary McBride — The Wisdom of Your BodyPeter Levine — Waking the Tiger (Somatic Experiencing)Deirdre Fay — Becoming Safely EmbodiedContent NoteMentions of religious conditioning, sexual coercion, panic/anxiety.

A glittering sorority house. A basement ritual. Two girls trying to survive the performance. We dive into Heather Cawley's Gilded Butterfly Effect with clear eyes and a full breakdown of why this debut hits like a bruise: parties that feel like auditions, therapy that feels like a pharmacy, and friendships that flare hot in a world built to look away.We start with Stella, the curated “it” girl who micromanages pills and persona, and Penny, the outsider who wants to be seen so badly she mistakes attention for care. Their connection is electric and messy—equal parts comfort and misread—and it's the fragile center of a story that asks how far you'll go to feel safe in spaces designed for spectacle. Along the way we unpack the campus ecosystem: long counseling waitlists, parental posturing during football weekends, and the hush around hazing that reduces girls to proof. The pig roast isn't just a plot device; it's a map of power, consent, and the kind of loyalty that turns people into collateral.Jack and Tripp anchor the spectrum of harm—the “nice” pledge with a soft voice and the golden boy who treats conquest as currency. We talk about complicity that hides in manners, why evidence disappears so easily, and how performative grief replaces accountability once the headlines fade. If you care about feminist fiction, campus novels, and the mechanics of coercion, this conversation goes deep: body image, drug culture, projection in therapy, and the ethics of silence when warning a friend might change everything.We close with honest takeaways and a grounded 3.5 rating: not for shock value, but for the way this book names what too many institutions still stage-manage. If the episode resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves sharp literary talk, and leave a quick review—what scene did you find hardest to forgive?Support the showEditing done by Connor Luther @clfilms.coMusic by @thundercatlouisMerch Here

In this episode, I'm joined again by Matt Thompson, a historian and dedicated folklore researcher based in the picturesque fishing village of Newlyn, Cornwall. Listen to episode 78 where Matt shares some of the rich folklore of Newlyn, Mousehole and Paul.  This time, we'll be exploring some of the stories of mermaids, sea monsters and ghosts from the area.We recorded this episode in two separate sessions due to technical difficulties, which seemed to occur when Matt was discussing a mermaid sighting! To catch a fairy whisper, you have to listen closely, listen with me…

President Donald Trump's privately funded plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom has Democrats like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fuming about “luxury” while they've shut down the government. Presidents have remodeled the White House for over a century—from Harry Truman's gut renovation to Barack Obama's basketball court—yet only Trump gets scorn. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the hypocrisy on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Do we really want to know what belittles the White House? I mean, we're just coming off the Biden administration, where cocaine was found in a carrel in the West Wing. … Do you remember when Barack Obama was president? He brought in a whole cadre of Muslim Brotherhood people that were tied to Hamas Islamic terrorism. He brought an entourage, in 2012, into the White House. I remember, 2016, he thought it would be neat to have his favorite rappers in the White House. Kendrick Lamar—“Pimp a Butterfly.” Remember those lyrics about killing the police in the White House? That rapper—‘kill po-po,' as he said.  “We could go on with the embarrassing incidents. I won't mention what transpired between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton right off the Oval Office in the presidential laboratory. But nonetheless, the ballroom was needed. 

Steve and Captain Evil cover it all—Whataburger, Disneyland, and a little Halloween shaming. Plus, twelve-year-old musical artist Bria Stone stops by to share a sneak peek of her new song, “Butterflies.”

The butterfly effect is crazy because what if soda companies never successfully used the “flavor enhancer” argument with the FDA almost a half-century ago...the almost $26 billion U.S. energy drinks market likely wouldn't exist today! Though, before we get into that FDA decision from 1980, you must first understand that the original recipes of both Coca-Cola and Pepsi included kola nuts, which contained caffeine but also provided a distinctive bitter flavor. Eventually, largely due to concerns about cost and product consistency…the “cola” flavor we recognize today is not the taste of the kola nut itself. Instead, it's a complex blend of multiple ingredients (including a standardized, isolated form of caffeine). So, with that industry shift in product and supply chain strategy, it no longer mattered if you were a cola beverage or a citrus-flavored soda like Mountain Dew…caffeine became a food additive. And that means…when the Tip Corporation acquired Mountain Dew from its founders in 1960, its decision to revamp the recipe (adding more caffeine than the typical cola) wasn't just paramount to the beverage's success but also to our butterfly effect. But throughout the 1970s, health concerns surrounding caffeine intensified…and by 1980, consumer advocacy groups started petitioning the FDA to remove caffeine from its "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) food additives list. But in response to the FDA questioning the GRAS status of caffeine, packaged beverage manufacurers argued that they used the ingredient as a "flavor enhancer," not for its stimulant effects. Though, in the fall of 1980, the FDA proposed that caffeine be removed from the "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) list but stopped short of banning it, citing the need for further safety tests. Instead, the FDA made caffeine an interim food additive…and in the meantime, placed a limit on the amount that could be added to carbonated soft drinks. This decision was widely criticized by consumer advocacy groups, who proclaimed the FDA caved to the powerful beverage industry. But maybe even more infuriating, the FDA proposal to remove caffeine from the GRAS list (essentially reclassifying caffeine as a drug), which would have obviously put significant restrictions on its use in foods and beverages, was never finalized. But the ensuing regulatory uncertainty created a new pathway for beverages with high caffeine levels to enter the market under a different category. Under the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), ingredients like caffeine were presumed safe for use in dietary supplements unless the FDA could prove otherwise. This created basically a dual regulatory system where the same ingredient (caffeine) was treated differently depending on the product classification…allowing dietary supplement companies to develop and market “drinks” with much higher caffeine levels. And it resulted in the development of an entirely new beverage category, with modern energy drinks like Red Bull entering the U.S. market about three decades ago. This butterfly effect was crazy, right? If soda companies never successfully used the “flavor enhancer” argument with the FDA in 1980, today's U.S. energy drinks market wouldn't be $26 billion dollars in retail sales. Moreover, energy drinks would not have become status symbols…or basically aspirational mixtures, representing lifestyle taste and identity by association, making it arguably the most important beverage category.
