Podcasts about catastrophes

NJ author/professor of Paleontology Gerta Keller talks about her latest release “The Last Extinction: The Real Stories Behind the Death of the Dinosuars” regarding betrayal, sabotage, perseverance and vindication bringing you the front-row seat the greatest discovery of our time where a father-son duo boldly proclaimed to have solved the reason why dinosaurs became extinct only to find what Gerta presented what was really correct using her records and research to prove otherwise! Gerta is also a Geology Emeritus in the Department of Geoscience at Princeton University since ‘84 and placed over 260 scientific journals, plus is the leading authority on catastrophes, mass extinctions, and the environmental impacts on volcanos while sharing her experiences and more!

Accidents ferroviaires mortels, tempêtes et inondations, pannes d'éléctricité : en Espagne et au Portugal les habitants doutent de l'état des infrastructures et de l'action des pouvoirs publics. La péninsule ibérique subit des catastrophes en série En Espagne Le pays reste marqué par les accidents ferroviaires survenus récemment, dont deux mortels : un sur une ligne à grande vitesse qui a fait 46 morts et un autre qui a tué un conducteur de train de banlieue en Catalogne. Hier mercredi (11 février 2026), troisième jour d'une grève des cheminots, le Premier ministre Pedro Sanchez s'est engagé à une communication transparente et à une enquête rigoureuse sur ces accidents. Il a aussi défendu les investissements de son gouvernement dans le ferroviaire, mais les usagers, eux, manifestent leur inquiétude. Reportage à Barcelone, Elise Gazengel. Au Portugal Ingrid, Joseph, Leonardo, Marta et Nils : c'est le cortège des dépressions atmosphériques qui s'abattent sur le Portugal depuis janvier 2026. Avec des rafales de vent de 140 à 200 km/h, elles ont ravagé le centre du pays, arrachant des arbres, des toitures, immobilisant les trains. Les inondations ont transformé une grande partie du pays en scène de dévastation. Mais l'impact de ces intempéries est aussi politique : les autorités auraient manqué de réactivité. À Lisbonne, les précisions de Marie-Line Darcy.     La revue des médias européens, avec Franceline Beretti  La « bromance » entre Friedrich Merz et Emmanuel Macron est finie, ironise la presse allemande ; Keir Starmer va-t-il tenir ? La presse britannique s'interroge ; les boulettes du directeur de la RAI aux JO poussent les journalistes de l'audiovisuel public italien à la grève.   Addiction au protoxyde d'azote En France, le gaz hilarant ne fait plus rire : c'est un fléau chez les jeunes, de plus en plus nombreux à l'inhaler. Il est disponible dans le commerce car il est utilisé en cuisine. Ses effets euphorisants sont désormais un facteur d'accidents de la route au même titre que l'alcool. Le Premier ministre souhaite voir son interdiction inscrite dans un projet de loi, car il provoque en outre des séquelles sur les nerfs et le cerveau.  Depuis deux ans, le professeur Christophe Riou a initié, dans un hôpital de la ville de Lyon, une téléconsultation destinée aux usagers inquiets qui n'oseraient pas pousser la porte d'un cabinet médical. Marie Casadebaig du service France de RFI l'a suivi.  Le Danemark a lui aussi été confronté ces dernières années à une hausse inquiétante de la consommation récréative du protoxyde d'azote. Mais le royaume scandinave a rapidement sévi, il est même précurseur en Europe dans la lutte contre cette addiction. Des restrictions sévères sont apparues dès 2020.  Les explications de notre correspondante dans la région Ottilia Férey.

Catastrophes don't happen because of one bad decision; they happen when many small assumptions fail at the same time. I take this opportunity to talk about my thoughts related to the Wang Fuk Court fire in Hong Kong. I attempt to examine how a routine ignition escalated into hundreds of compartment fires across multiple buildings—and what that says about the limits of our current fire engineering. Keep in mind these are the opinions of myself! We start by challenging a comforting belief: that prescriptive rules and performance-based designs can handle “the big one.” They can't if the event steps outside the envelope. You'll hear why compartment-focused strategies struggle when geometry and wind synchronize flames, how cavity spaces in light wells amplify heat and acceleration, and why nonlinearity means a modest increase in heat release can explode into a different regime of flame spread and radiation.We break down the ingredients that turned risk into disaster: star-shaped towers with interior wells, bamboo scaffolding and netting near openings, temporary polystyrene window covers, and a dry monsoon pushing firebrands far beyond the origin. We also dig into response realities—why sprinklers and hydrants are sized for one or two compartments, not dozens at once—and the hydraulic and access limits firefighters face at height.Most importantly, we translate insights into action. Learn how to make extreme scenarios explicit with safety cases during construction, align tests with actual exposure on façades and cavities, replace flammable temporary coverings with noncombustible barriers, and plan targeted, temporary suppression where geometry concentrates risk. No single fix will prevent every tragedy, but narrowing the gap between our models and real fire behavior can save lives and homes.If this conversation helped you see fire risk differently, subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a quick review—what's the most overlooked hazard you think we should explore next?I would like to wish you a Happy New Year 2026! Let's hope it is a year of thriving fire safety.Cover image: By am730 - YouTube: 大埔宏福苑五級火 蔓延7幢樓宇 至少13死28傷一消防殉職 – View/save archived versions on archive.org and archive.today(At 0:46 of the video), CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=179003054Wikipedia article about the Wang Fuk Court fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Fuk_Court_fire----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.

EXCLU PODCAST - Aujourd'hui, autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot : Laura Warton Martinez, Yves Camdeborde et Abel Boyi.

Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us faster than Aunt Judy can bring up that one family feud, and trust me, we're here to help you avoid a holiday disaster. In this hour, Eric G and John Dudley are dishing out the ultimate last-minute tips to get your home ready for the big feast. We're talking everything from decluttering those countertops (because, really, who needs that collection of weird knick-knacks out when the whole clan's rolling in?) to prepping your oven so it doesn't turn into a fiery pit of despair. We'll even tackle the age-old dilemma of ensuring your plumbing is ready for the inevitable Thanksgiving toilet drama—because nothing says "Happy Thanksgiving" like a clogged toilet when Uncle Bob decides to unleash his famous post-dinner bomb. So grab that turkey baster and let's get your home holiday-ready, folks!Thanksgiving is creeping up faster than we can say 'stuffing', and in this episode, we dive deep into the chaotic world of getting your home ready for the big family gathering. Eric G and John Dudley tackle the top 10 things you should do (and maybe a few you shouldn't) before the turkey hits the table. From decluttering countertops to ensuring that your kitchen is prepped for all the culinary madness that comes with feeding a small army, they've got you covered. They humorously navigate through the typical Thanksgiving drama, from the inevitable family arguments to the horror stories of kitchen disasters, all while providing practical tips that might just save you from a meltdown before your guests arrive. Plus, they share the importance of prepping your home for the influx of relatives and how to avoid being the host with the most 'oops' moments. If you're feeling that pre-holiday panic, tune in for a dose of laughter and sanity as you gear up for this year's Thanksgiving festivities.Takeaways: Deep cleaning and decluttering your kitchen counters is essential for Thanksgiving prep, trust me, your sanity depends on it! Creating designated areas for food prep can prevent turkey juice disasters, because nobody wants a Salmonella surprise at dinner! Sharp knives are your best friends in the kitchen—don't ruin your expensive cutlery with dull blades, get them sharpened, it's worth it! Be mindful of air quality—open windows and turn on fans to avoid post-dinner comas from carbon dioxide overload, or your guests will be napping through the football game! Checking your oven's accuracy before Thanksgiving is a must; a miscalibrated oven can ruin your turkey and your holiday spirit, so do it now! And remember, inviting lonely neighbors over for Thanksgiving can turn a mundane holiday into a heartwarming event, plus it gives you extra people to blame during family arguments!

In this episode of the Society of Actuaries Research Insights Podcast, host Kara Clark, Senior Research Actuary at the SOA Research Institute, is joined by Al Klein, Principal and Consulting Actuary at Milliman, and Erik Pickett, Actuary and Chief Content Officer at Club Vita. Together, they discuss Chapter 10: Catastrophes from the paper Long-Term Drivers of Future Mortality, authored by Yair Babad and Al Klein for the 2023 Living to 100 Symposium. This episode dives into the complex and varied effects that catastrophes—natural, man-made, and biological—have on mortality. Topics include wildfires, droughts, war, terrorism, pandemics, and the challenges actuaries face when modeling these unpredictable yet impactful events. This is the final chapter in the podcast series based on this important research paper.

Catastrophes and tragedies are not God's punishment or justice for wrongdoing. They are the consequences of living on this planet. The second meaning of justice is restorative justice. He knows that we did not choose to be born on this planet, into this world of sin. God's heart is to bring restoration to all that are affected by sin. Rather than punishment or revenge He wants to heal and restore. The PDF is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca#rediscoveringgod#Ian Hartley#Warren Kay#Sasha Steenbergen

With special guest: Dr Sara Webb… in conversation with Bill Kable The title of this program may look as though it will make us doom struck or at least a little gloomy but strangely it does not. This might have something to do with our guest who is so bright and cheery talking about these biggest of the biggest of issues. Dr Sara Webb has written The Little Book of Cosmic Catastrophes (That Could End the World) for a general audience who will be able to get a better understanding of where we have come from and where our Earth and humanity itself will go. Today we talk about what has happened in the distant past, in fact when time began. An amazing number of things had to go just right for the universe as we know it to exist. This goes back to the laws of physics as explored in the recent past by Albert Einstein. Who knew that if the forces between the atomic particles were different, the matter of which we are made simply would not have formed? Podcast (mp3)

Today's coverage dives deep into the threats facing America—from global terrorism to domestic policy failures. Highlights include the release of a convicted mass-murderer tied to al-Qaeda, the dangers of rising crime in cities like Charlotte, and the alleged exploitation of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children under the Biden administration. The discussion also examines media bias, sanctuary city policies, and the broader consequences of Democrat-led mismanagement, connecting international terror, cartel activity, and domestic law enforcement failures to the everyday risks Americans face. This segment exposes systemic failures, political corruption, and the urgent need for awareness and action.

In today's episode, I sat down with Greg Hill, a longtime cider maker at Urban Orchard Cidery and a dedicated adjunct instructor in the brewing program here in Asheville. Greg is wrapping up his PhD work while guiding Urban Orchard through an incredibly tough year—one marked by supply challenges, wild weather events, and a major orchard fire. Together, we dove into his ongoing dissertation about workforce development and experiential learning in the brewing and beverage industries, and what it truly takes to prepare students for a successful career in craft beverage production. Greg Hill is a graduate of the AB Tech Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation program, and he's now in his twelfth year at Urban Orchard Cidery. As a key educator in beverage management and microbiology, Greg brings a wealth of real-world knowledge, blending hands-on experience with academic rigor. Outside of work, he's a stadium-hopping football fan with broader plans for worldwide sports adventures, and a seeker of new and unusual flavor experiences. "I wanted to put a bunch of flair in there, make it all pretty and nice, and it's really just idiot proof. Repetitive. So you're saying I am doing this. This is why I'm doing this. I'm going to do this again. And then this is why I'm doing this.” ~Greg Hill Today on Consuming the Craft:·     Experiential learning and hands-on practice are crucial components for real career readiness in the craft beverage industry.·     Greg's PhD research has shifted from standardizing education to focusing on how beverage programs prepare students for the real-world workforce.·     Practical education, like troubleshooting and working directly with equipment, is just as valuable as classroom theory.·     Urban Orchard Cidery faced major challenges over the past year, including hurricane aftermath, a devastating orchard fire, and a hailstorm that damaged crops.·     Loyal customers, especially fellow local businesses like Highland Brewing, played a significant role in Urban Orchard's recovery.·     Cider isn't just for drinking; it can also be a creative ingredient in cooking and cocktails, especially during fall.·     The craft beverage landscape continues to evolve, and keeping up means constant adaptation and diversification, as seen in new products and global influences.·     Despite the doom and gloom in parts of the beverage industry, cideries like Urban Orchard are finding ways to persevere and grow, demonstrating the resilience of the craft community. Contact for Greg Hill: Urban Orchard Cidery: https://www.urbanorchardcider.com/For educational inquiries at AB Tech Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation: https://www.abtech.edu/programs/academic/ab-tech-craft-beverage-institute-brewing-distillation-fermentation Resources Mentioned: o  Urban Orchard Cideryo  Highland Brewing Companyo  New Belgium Brewing Company (for pilot system donation)o  AB Tech Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation Programo  Diablo cider from Urban Orchardo  Agua de Bolivia herbal liqueur This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

Le supplément de ce samedi nous emmène dans le nord du Chili, là où le ciel est exceptionnellement translucide, mais diverses pollutions menacent la bonne vue des télescopes. Nous verrons également en quoi les systèmes d'alertes sont devenus des véritables gages de prévention stratégiques face aux catastrophes naturelles. (Rediffusion) Catastrophes naturelles : le monde en alerte Cyclones, inondations, feux de forêts, glissements de terrains ou tremblements de terre et tsunamis. Les catastrophes, souvent qualifiées de naturelles, sèment la mort et la destruction, chaque année, à travers le monde. Elles frappent particulièrement durement les plus vulnérables. Mais les drames humains entrainés par ces catastrophes ne sont pas si inéluctables : les systèmes d'alerte et les plans de mise en sécurité de la population peuvent sauver des vies. Pour aider les États à se préparer… un exercice de simulation grandeur nature d'un séisme suivi d'un tsunami est organisé chaque année dans la zone caraïbe. Cette année, 48 pays et près de 500 000 personnes ont été mobilisés sous l'égide des Nations unies. « Catastrophes naturelles : le monde en alerte », un Grand reportage de Jeanne Richard.    L'observation des étoiles au Chili, sous la menace Le nord du Chili est devenu le maître incontestable de l'astronomie mondiale. Les observatoires les plus puissants de la planète y sont construits, attirant les meilleurs astronomes, mais aussi, de très nombreux touristes. La ville de San Pedro de Atacama s'est ainsi transformée en capitale mondiale du tourisme astronomique, ou astrotourisme. Cela s'est fait rapidement : en une dizaine d'années. Mais rien ne garantit que le ciel le plus pur du monde ne le reste pour toujours... « L'observation des étoiles au Chili, sous la menace », un Grand reportage de Marion Bellal.

Lauren kicks things off with a look at two of the state's eeriest cryptids: the mysterious Faceless People and the elusive Melonheads. The Faceless People are exactly what they sound like—strange figures with smooth, featureless faces and small holes for ears, who prefer to remain in the shadows. The Melonheads, with their oversized heads and unsettling presence, are said to lurk at the ends of lonely, overgrown dirt roads. Then, Kenzie uncovers the haunted history of the Remington Arms Factory in Bridgeport. Once a booming weapons manufacturer, the factory now stands abandoned and is said to be haunted by the spirits of its former workers—and the dark secrets of its past.

Today's coverage reveals a nation grappling with profound crises on every front. Tara first unpacks the Biden administration's alleged complicity in trafficking migrant children—placing thousands with unvetted, often criminal sponsors, dismantling Trump-era safeguards like DNA testing, and leaving tens of thousands of vulnerable minors unaccounted for. Next, she highlights a surge of peer-reviewed studies warning of severe, underreported harms linked to the COVID vaccines, including estimates of up to 600,000 deaths in the U.S. and long-term health impacts on teenagers. Simultaneously, Gallup polls expose an unprecedented collapse of patriotism among Democrats—just 36% now say they're proud to be American—while party sympathies shift decisively toward Palestinians over Israel, fueling radical politics and primary victories for socialist candidates. Tara weaves these stories into a sobering narrative: institutions in freefall, media silence shielding systemic failures, and a growing segment of Americans losing faith in their own country.

Stress, anxiety, and concern don't exist outside us but within us—which means we have the power to do something about it, too.
