Podcasts about cultural importance

What do eiders eat, how do they feed, why is their poop so stinky, how do they taste, how many are there, and what are the most pressing conservation concerns affecting them? These and other questions are explored as Kate Martin and Dr. Sarah Gutowsky rejoin Dr. Mike Brasher to wrap up our common eider species profile. Also discussed is new research that is improving our knowledge of eider population trends and identifying important breeding and winter sites. New telemetry results are revealing fascinating insights about eider migration, and we learn of the important cultural and economic tie between common eiders and local communities, including why an eider down duvet could set you back $10,000!Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

For this time in November we like to focus our attention on the experiences of the indigenous community. So this week we have Tiana-Malia Keleli'i Kawaihoa-Marquez (all pronouns accepted), a kanaka ‘oiwi (Native Hawaiian), Māhū (two-spirit), raised in the ‘aina (land) of Maunalua, Oahu. They practice Uhi (Hawaiian traditional tattooing), are a student of Genealogy, and produce ‘awa, a traditional drink that helps to calm and relax the body and mind. In this episode, we discuss getting back to authenticity through community and ancestral medicine, and what it's like to be unapologetically Māhū in spaces that aren't traditionally carved out for those identities.  We hope you love this episode as much as we did

The episode highlights how nine state parks in Florida are in jeopardy due to development proposals that could potentially alter the landscapes and ecosystems of these parks. Some of the proposed changes include adding resorts with up to 350 rooms, disc golf courses, pickleball courts, multiple golf courses, and clubhouses encompassing over 1,000 acres. The episode emphasizes the importance of these state parks as natural areas that provide essential ecosystem functions, such as biodiversity preservation, natural drainage, and acting as buffers against natural disasters like flooding and hurricanes. By paving over these natural areas and introducing developments like resorts and golf courses, the delicate balance of these ecosystems could be disrupted, leading to potential consequences for water quality, erosion, and overall environmental health. The proposed developments are driven by state government decisions, raising concerns about the prioritization of economic interests over environmental conservation. The episode underscores the need for public engagement and advocacy to protect these state parks. Floridians and concerned individuals are encouraged to participate in public meetings, provide public comments, and voice their opposition to the proposed developments that threaten the integrity of these natural areas. The episode also highlights the potential long-term impacts of these developments on Florida's environment, especially in the face of climate change challenges. With Florida already at risk from climate change consequences like sea-level rise and increased storm intensity, preserving these state parks as natural areas becomes even more crucial to maintain the resilience of the region's ecosystems and protect the well-being of local communities. Overall, the episode serves as a call to action for individuals to stand up for the conservation of Florida state parks, emphasizing the importance of preserving these natural areas for biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and the enjoyment of nature by all. Protecting state parks is crucial for various reasons, as highlighted in the podcast episode. State parks play a significant role in preserving biodiversity, maintaining natural drainage, and ensuring mental well-being. Preserving Biodiversity: State parks are designated to protect natural habitats and ecosystems, providing a safe haven for a diverse range of plant and animal species. By preserving these areas, we safeguard the biodiversity within them, ensuring the survival of various species and maintaining ecological balance. The loss of state parks to development can lead to habitat destruction, fragmentation, and loss of species, impacting the overall biodiversity of the region. Maintaining Natural Drainage: State parks serve as natural buffers against flooding and other natural disasters by allowing for proper drainage of water. These areas are often left untouched, allowing for natural processes to occur, such as water absorption and filtration, which helps in managing water levels and preventing flooding. Paving over state parks disrupts these natural drainage systems, leading to increased risks of flooding, erosion, and water quality issues in surrounding areas. Ensuring Mental Well-being: State parks provide opportunities for people to connect with nature, unwind, and improve their mental well-being. Spending time in natural environments has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting overall mental health. By preserving state parks, we ensure that individuals have access to green spaces where they can relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy the benefits of nature. In conclusion, protecting state parks is not just about preserving natural landscapes; it is about safeguarding biodiversity, maintaining essential ecosystem functions like natural drainage, and promoting mental well-being for individuals who seek solace and connection with nature. It is essential to prioritize the conservation of these areas to ensure a sustainable and healthy environment for current and future generations. Advocating for the Protection of Florida State Parks In the podcast episode, Andrew Lewin emphasizes the urgent need for a call to action to protect Florida state parks from proposed developments that threaten their natural landscapes. He highlights the importance of public participation in upcoming public meetings to advocate for the preservation of these parks. The proposed changes include the construction of resorts, golf courses, and other amenities within the state parks, which could have detrimental effects on the environment and the surrounding communities. Why Public Participation is Crucial: Preserving Natural Areas: State parks are designated to protect natural habitats and biodiversity. By participating in public meetings, individuals can voice their concerns about the potential destruction of these vital ecosystems. Environmental Impact: The proposed developments, such as resorts and golf courses, could lead to habitat destruction, increased pollution from fertilizers and pesticides, and altered drainage patterns. Public input can highlight these environmental concerns. Climate Change Resilience: Florida is already at risk from climate change consequences, including sea-level rise and increased storm intensity. Preserving natural areas like state parks can help mitigate these impacts by providing natural buffers and maintaining ecosystem functions. Taking Action: Attend Public Meetings: Participating in public meetings allows individuals to directly express their support for protecting state parks. By voicing concerns and presenting alternative solutions, attendees can influence decision-makers. Engage with Advocates: Engaging with conservation advocates like Carissa Cabrera and Erica from "Whales We" on platforms like TikTok can provide valuable information and updates on the situation. Collaborating with like-minded individuals can amplify the message of park preservation. Use Social Media: Utilize social media platforms to raise awareness about the importance of preserving state parks in Florida. Sharing information, encouraging others to participate in public meetings, and contacting relevant authorities can help mobilize support for the cause. Call to Action: Visit floridaspringcouncil.org for updates on public meetings and ways to get involved. Attend public meetings to voice support for protecting Florida state parks. Engage with conservation advocates and share information on social media to raise awareness. Contact the governor's office and express concerns about the proposed developments in state parks. By actively participating in public meetings, engaging with advocates, and utilizing social media platforms, individuals can play a crucial role in advocating for the protection of Florida state parks and preserving these natural treasures for future generations.

Hemp has played a role in the lives of humans for a very long time, according to this week's podcast guest, Jeremy Klettke, cannabis breeder and owner of Davis Farms, based in Oregon and Massachusetts. “It's clearly culturally assimilated with us. It's clearly evolved with us,” he said, “when you talk about it from an endogenous cannabinoid perspective.” “Whatever we ask for, the plant seems to give,” he said. “Food, fuel, fiber — any of it, it's giving us these incredible versions of it. So there's clearly been a parallel evolution.” Klettke has been working internationally with the cannabis plant since the early 1990s and shares many tales from his experience on this episode. While living and working in Copenhagen in the 1990s, he caught a glimpse of the cannabis trade that has existed internationally for thousands of years, an experience he called “profound.” “It definitely helped me to recognize that, you know, this plant was a culturally important part of our civilization for ... I didn't know how long,” he said. As a plant breeder, he shares his views on genetics and the role THC plays in the plant. He suggests that breeding THC out of hemp altogether will have unintended consequences. “When you remove THC, you're removing one of the primary defense mechanisms,” he said. THC also happens to be the compound responsible for psychoactive properties of cannabis which, he said, humans have been using as a spiritual tool since prehistoric times. He cited the Dogon tribe in Mali, which would ingest fermented cannabis during their religious ceremonies.

Episode Notes Welcome back to the Future of Figure Skating. My guest today is Asher Hill, who is a choreographer, commentator, and one of the founders of the Figure Skating Diversity and Inclusion Alliance. With his previous partner ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharis_Ralph)[Kharis Ralph, Asher was the 2008 Canadian national junior champion in ice dance, and went to the 2010 World Championships.  Asher is a vocal advocate for racial justice. In 2020, he called out Skate Canada for making an essentially empty statement in response to the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter Movement. The statement was hypocritical to Asher, who had filed an official misconduct complaint with Skate Canada more than a year before, highlighting a number of instances spanning five years where a co-worker at his figure skating club was abusive with racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language. Asher's comments sparked much of the progress that's been made around diversity and inclusion in Canadian skating. Asher is smart, warm, and funny, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!  Episode Transcript: FoFS Google Drive You can follow Asher on Instagram @asherkwacie and Twitter @AsherHill You can reach me with comments or suggestions for topics and people I should talk to, by email at fsfuturepodcast@gmail.com or on Instagram and Twitter @futurefspodcast  Remember to subscribe to The Future of Figure Skating podcast on whatever platform you use, and share it with your friends!    Resources: Asher Hill interviewed on the Burn It All Down podcast  https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/interview-asher-hill-figure-skater-coach-choreographer-and-activist Anna's interview with Maddie Schizas for Anything GOEs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXpRkYpX0yQ “Figure Skater Asher Hill Sees Hypocrisy in Racial Equality Statements” (June 3, 2020) https://www.cbc.ca/sports/floyd-george-sports-organizations-hypocrisy-asher-hill-1.5597217 “Moir, Weaver advocates of gender-expansive ice dance and pairs figure skating teams” (cites Anna & Erica as an example) https://www.tsn.ca/figure-skating/scott-moir-kaitlyn-weaver-advocates-of-gender-expansive-ice-dance-and-pairs-figure-skating-teams-1.1904779 Figure Skating Diversity and Inclusion Alliance https://www.fsdia.org/ FSDIA Conversations in Color on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4d9O3hbO8-4-Us3RNx9xrA “Kamila Valieva does viral 'Wednesday' Dance, but U.S.A. and Japan still without Olympic medals” Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch join Asher Hill on That Figure Skating Show  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LZDbUgLqtE&list=PLDsQU3UFA4hXMPS-ZioeBFuuxHMm98S0H&index=6 “The Cultural Importance of Papadakis and Cizeron's waacking rhythm dance at the Olympics” Asher Hill and Dylan Moscovitch interview choreographer Axelle Munezero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njA_s7DZDzI&list=PLDsQU3UFA4hXMPS-ZioeBFuuxHMm98S0H&index=40 “Russian Ice Dance Sparks Indigineous Anger” Al Jazeera English - Domnina/Shabalin OD 2010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtXWE1CfbcM Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier RD 2015 “Sargeant Pepper”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zce2niUl870 Kharis RALPH / Asher HILL CAN Original Dance 2010 Four Continents Championships “African Folk” Somlandela/Hlohonolofatsa by Soweto Gospel Choir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNqW1zxNJdM

Culture is not unique to humans. This idea is becoming increasingly more accepted, and researchers are finding evidence of culture in many different species, including marine mammals. From tool use, to foraging strategies and dialects, there is evidence of social learning and transmission of information between individuals and through generations, which is the basis for culture. Sperm whales are a wonderful example of multilevel cultural society, with distinct vocal characters (akin to dialects) and nearly permanent social units that interact with other social units in their range. This paper looks at if the vocal characteristics they have constitute a symbolic marker for a group of individuals that the whales can use to identify themselves, but also other whales. Do they use this as a cultural marker defining one group from the next. Think of clothing styles, accents, and body modifications in humans that serve the same purpose. Do sperm whales use specific vocal calls to identify members of their own clan, vs. members of others? Come learn what they found and how amazing the culture of sperm whales is!

Patrice Dutil explores the politics and ambitions of Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893 who is best known for having donated a silver punch bowl to honour the best hockey team in the country, with Jordan Goldstein, Professor of Kinesiology at Wilfrid Laurier University. His book is entitled Canada's Holy Grail: Lord Stanley's Political Motivation to Donate the Stanley Cup, and it is published by the University of Toronto Press. The interview is focused on Stanley's politics and his perception of what Canada needed following years of tension over the Riel hanging, the Jesuits Estates Act and the divisive 1891 election over the possibility of free trade with the United States. His gift of a trophy, since known as the “Stanley Cup” has become a uniting symbol for many Canadians of all ages and geographies. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.

Artists communicate and articulate emotionally what we are unable to do ourselves. When we don’t value and support artists, society as a whole misses out on truth, introspection, and depth. An Urban Institute study found that “96 percent of respondents said they were greatly inspired and moved by various kinds of art…[and] only 27 percent of respondents said that artists contribute "a lot" to the good of society.” If so many of us value and are moved by art, why don’t we support the artists that create it?In the final episode of this three-part podcast series, Russ concludes his conversation with William Deresiewicz, discussing his book, The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech, and the importance of supporting and valuing artists’ contributions to society.Deresiewicz has published more than 280 essays and reviews, won the Hiett Prize in the Humanities, the National Book Critics Circle’s Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing, as well as a Sydney Award. He is a three-time National Magazine Award nominee, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Harper’s, The American Scholar, and many other publications. These works have been translated into 18 languages and anthologized in more than 30 college and scholastic readers.ResourcesThe Death of the ArtistExcellent SheepA Jane Austen EducationSolitude and LeadershipThe best education for all - Bill Deresiewicz TedTalkJFK quote the importance of artist in culture“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

This special edition Overdrive Radio is part of our celebration 60 years since the magazine's founding in 1961 -- as such, every Monday we're looking back on various elements of the trucking business and culture as they've existed in the past and evolved on up through today via http://overdriveonline.com/trucking-history For this episode, we're looking at the CB radio, both in the context of safety and trucking culture. First, we run back through the first in my Channel One Nine series of mini-episodes produced in collaboration with PRX's Radiotopia last year – that episode was devoted to CB handles and the history of the CB in trucking in brief. Following that is a variety of reader views from 2017, after a disastrous late-night winter pileup on I-80 in Pennsylvania, around the importance of using the CB in dangerous conditions to avoid such events -– this time of year, as is particularly in evidence this year, such sentiment is, as they say, timeless.

We recognize that the Second Seminole War was a war of Indian Removal, ignited by Indian resistance to U.S. government efforts to deport them from Florida to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi.A key sticking point in resolving the conflict was the disposition of those who were known, for purposes of convenience, as Indian slaves, Seminole Negroes or Black Seminoles.And at the center of that was the delicate business of defining who the Black Seminoles were. The translator, diplomat, and strategist Abraham was a leader among Black Seminole and a representative among the Seminole of their interests.One can use the structure of a classic internet meme to illustrate the difficulty in defining who were Black Seminole such Abraham and his people. Who did the Seminole say they were? [Abraham and his people were property, not to be given up without financial compensation and worth fighting to keep.]Who did the Americans say they were? [To the Americans in Georgia and other southern states, Abraham's people were a threat to national security, poised to pour across the border under cover of darkness or to filter up through the swamps to pillage at will.]Who did the Spaniards who ruled Florida say they were? [men and women who fled slavery were potential citizens and able allies who were worth arming and supporting for their value in protecting St. Augustine's back door.]Who did the Black Seminoles say they were? [Abraham, his people, and hundreds of others like them were "freedom seekers" who fled the slavery of the American South and deliberately forged symbiotic alliances with the more numerous and established Seminole Indians.]Who can WE say the Black Seminoles were?Returning to the Seminole Wars podcast to help with what Sherlock Holmes might dub, “The Curious Case of the Black Seminoles of Florida,” is Dr. Brent Weisman.Doctor Weisman has podcasted with us earlier to discuss the continued Historical and Cultural Importance of the Seminole in Florida.

Six years ago, a Wisconsin mother talked with WPR about the fears she had for her African-American son. She joins us today to talk about whether her feelings have changed since then.

This episode explores the success of a song by a phenomenal black woman, remixed by another phenomenal black woman. Exploring: the context of women being a minority in rap, the legal battle she had to go through to get her record out, and the way she used TikTok to secure the success of the song.On the 13th May, for the first time ever, four black women occupied the top two spots on the US Billboard Chart. On the 25th May an innocent black man was murdered forcing us to face up to how deep and systemic racism is in the world today. I don’t want to be another person happily taking the gifts black people have given the world and not also taking action against their oppression. Things we can all do:Write a letter to your local MP/Councillor/Lord, people in Government asking for a public response and a plan to address this by further examining diversity in parliament, and more research into whether the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on BAME individuals could have been prevented or mitigated. Email me if you would like a draft - info@lexonthedecks.comEmail your company's HR Department asking for details of diversity in your workplace. Is it good enough? Donate to one of the groups financing protestors and charities. Consider pledging a regular donation or setting a reminder in your calendar to check up on donations - this won’t be fixed overnight with the prosecution of a handful of police officers.Educate yourself on racism and be open minded to prejudices you may unintentionally be holding.Remember that we all touch different circles and different people so every voice has an impact.

Star Wars inspired audiences during a dark time in post-war America in the late 1970's. Now over 40 years later we find ourselves amid a global pandemic, with fans once again turning to Star Wars to escape the realities of life for a bit by journeying to a galaxy far, far away. We discuss Star Wars' cultural importance during uncertain times. We also must choose wisely in our segment One With the Force where we can only choose one answer to varying situations like, take any Star Wars character and put them in any movie or movie franchise outside of Star Wars. As always, we feature the best of your tweets in #ResistanceTransmissions! The Resistance base is open to all, so spread the word about TRB and join us!

Chisme, bochinche, tea—whatever you call it, gossip has a cultural importance in our communities. Dr. Neomi DeAnda, Dr. Jacqueline Hidalgo, and Dr. Matilde Moros dish on what Dr. DeAnda describes as communication behavior that functions to “reveal what is missing in social systems or when someone steps outside the boundaries of social systems".

Pratik was finally able to talk more about Kanye (and some other musicians he loves). Atharv knew that I could make cuts but did not request them as frequently as Madison did. We also give more relationship advice from Atharv. This advice will not help you date Pratik (look at the last episode for that). I think Pratik regrets letting me make these descriptions :) We discussed Jay-Z and the cultural importance of hip hop, the pros and cons of record labels, the NCAA monopoly on college sports, relationships, the Dallas Cowboys, and some Kanye.

This past summer, MARTA was considering renaming five train stations in Atlanta. It was an effort to keep up with changes in the city and to reflect surrounding neighborhoods. Today, MARTA says no decision on renaming stations has been made, but that they are currently refining the process of making those decisions in the future. One station proposed to be re-christened: Bankhead. The area was named after the highway that ran through it, which was in turn named after an Alabama family. But the Bankhead name is perhaps more closely associated with the torrent of rap and hip hop that grew from Atlanta's Westside and nearby neighborhoods. So, what's in the name "Bankhead"?
