A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren't meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you'll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.

Overtourism is a buzz word of late, but not a good one. We've all read about the cities and regions being overrun by tourists, who might be damaging natural or historical sights, or making an area unaffordable for its original residents to stay in. In this episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, I speak with three guests with an interest in overtourism and ask for their thoughts. First up, I speak with Dylan Thuras of Atlas Obscura. Dylan's whole website and podcast are based around encouraging people to learn about, and visit, less popular, more obscure places, so he's been thinking about overtourism and its opposite, undertourism, for many years. I then chat with Jamie Burr, who specialises in marketing for responsible tourism businesses, and therefore also has a significant interest in overtourism and how we might deal with it. Finally, Chris Christou from The End of Tourism podcast talks about some future alternatives for tourism, speaking from the example of his home of Oaxaca in Mexico, that may be one way to mitigate the problems of overtourism.

What makes the taste of a Meyer lemon so special? And why is there a secret society in Louisiana that holds a giant omelet festival every year? This week our friends at the The Atlas Obscura Podcast — which celebrates the world's strange and wondrous places — bring us stories that answer each of those questions. First up, professional taster Mandy Naglich tells us the twisty history of the Meyer lemon, from the eccentric man it's named after to the role it played in a citrus epidemic. Then we visit Abbeville, Louisiana, to eat that giant omelet, and learn about the French culture and history preserved in that town.The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Nora Ritchie, and Jared O'Connell. Special thanks to host Dylan Thuras and the rest of the Atlas Obscura Podcast team: Amanda McGowan, Julia Russo, Katie Thornton, Johanna Mayer, Doug Baldinger, Chris Naka, Kameel Stanley, Manolo Morales, Baudelaire, Gabby Gladney, Alexa Lim, Casey Holford, and Luz Fleming.

Like many parts of travel, in recent years I've started to rethink some aspects of museum that I just took for granted in my early years of travel. In this episode, I chat with three guests on a variety of aspects of the ethics of museums, which all gave me great food for thought. First up, I spoke with Chris Christou, who articulates some of the key ethical issues many museums face, especially those that are focused on archaeological artefacts - some of which might not have been acquired in the most ethical of ways! Next, Dylan Thuras of Atlas Obscura tells me about his particular interest in medical museums, and some of the questions surrounding these, and includes an interesting example of a museum he visited in Mexico. Artist Carol McQuaid highlights a recent art gallery scandal involving MONA in Tasmania, Australia, which she had the opportunity to visit recently. While chatting galleries, I was reminded of my recent experience at the Manchester Art Gallery in England, which has recently had a significant rethink of how they run their displays.

Il modello unico della socializzazione contemporanea è bere e mangiare e il cibo è diventato la nostra neoideologia. Questo crea un‘offerta superiore alla domanda e, di conseguenza, i nuovi ristoranti nella maggior parte dei casi chiudono nel giro di pochi anni. Ma anche i pochi ristoranti che faticosamente riescono a conquistare un riconoscimento da parte delle guide enogastronomiche, faticano poi a sostenere i costi necessari per mantenere uno standard qualitativo così elevato – spiega Valerio Massimo Visintin, critico enogastronomico, autore del libro "Dietro le stelle. Il lato oscuro della ristorazione italiana" (Mondadori, 156 p., € 17,50). Da tempo si sono perse di vista le regole etiche che dovrebbero essere rispettate quando si commentano i ristoranti. La crisi dell'editoria, dovuta al fatto che gli editori non pagano sufficientemente i collaboratori, ha lasciato spazio ad un'informazione non professionale spesso legata a sponsorizzazioni, come avviene frequentemente nel caso di blogger, influencer e content provider – conclude Visintin.RECENSIONI"Food obscura.

How we think about toughness needs a reset. Too often, it's been associated with brute forcing our way through things. Ignoring our feelings. Making an outward show of confidence and dominance. The problem is it just doesn't work. Performance coach and bestselling author, Steve Magness, offers another way. He's done a deep dive on the latest research on toughness and performance. In his book, Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and The Surprising Science of Real Toughness, he discusses the misconceptions of our current model. Then he offers a new one informed by the latest in neuroscience and psychology research. Along the way, he translates research findings into practical steps we can take to make the shift. If you're a performance junkie, you'll gain a lot from this interview. You can also apply his ideas to managing your teams. If you enjoy Steve's approach, check out my previous interview with him on finding your passion at work and in life, episode 142.

El debate más sorprendente entre líderes de las dos grandes potencias de la Guerra Fría se dio en una cocina. O en una cocina ficticia, para ser más exactos. Kruschev contra Nixon. Comunismo contra capitalismo. Dos visiones irreconciliables hasta que aparece un vasito de Pepsi. * Este episodio tuvo como fuentes principales los libros Kitchen, de Banana Yoshimoto; El fin del Homo Sovieticus, de Svetlana Aleksiévich, La importancia del tenedor, de Bee Wilson, Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide, de Cecily Wong y Dylan Thuras y El banquete de los dictadores, de Melissa Scott y Victoria Clark; además del artículo El sueño de la cocina propia, de Juan Forn. En el sitio de la BBC se puede encontrar la transcripción del debate entre Kruschev y Nixon. Por los vínculos entre Kendall, Nixon y el Golpe de Estado en Chile recomiendo el trabajo de Peter Kornbluh para el Centro de Investigación Periodística (Ciper), también disponible en línea. * Nefeli Forni Zervoudaki leyó el texto de Banana Yoshimoto y Cecilia Bonino el de Svetlana Aleksiévich. La voz que narra el ataque al Palacio de la Moneda es del periodista Jaime Vargas. La música original es de Maximiliano Martínez y el diseño de la portada es de Pablo Corrado. Se utilizaron temas libres de derecho como cortina; gracias a Chris Haugen y Dan Lebowitz, estén donde estén. * Gastropolítica es una serie escrita y narrada por Maxi Guerra para Funga, ecosistema de contenidos.

Dylan Thuras is co-author of "Gastro Obscura A Food Adventurer's Guide," a book with 500 entries that span all seven continents and fifty states. Complete with photographs and illustrations, it's all about food that ranges from the Antarctica Base Stations' often elegant cuisine for scientists to the largest Asian night market in North America at Richmond in British Columbia. But then there's also Elvis' favorite sandwich, the Fool's Gold (peanut butter + blueberry jam + bacon on white bread), created in a now defunct restaurant in Denver CO. Story goes that Elvis once flew from Graceland to Denver with friends on his Boeing 727 private jet back in the 1970s just so they could share his cross-country indulgence. Fool's Gold is still on the menu today at Nick's Café in Golden, Colorado. "The Atlas Obscura Explorer's Guide for the World's Most Adventurous Kid," also co-authored by Dylan Thuras, is an illustrated guide to 100 mysterious wonders, both natural and manmade, and is popular with kids, parents and teachers alike. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booktalk-diana-korte/message
