A group of bipartisan U.S. lawmakers pushes to prevent Donald Trump from unilaterally going to war with Iran. But a congresswoman admits there's no guarantee he'll heed their resolution, even if it passes. A university professor in Tehran says the attacks on his country were unprovoked -- and that if the U.S. joins in, it should expect severe retaliation.Canada's cancer screening guidelines are set for an overhaul. An oncologist tells us the changes are long overdue. Celebrity chef Robert Irvine remembers his late friend Anne Burrell -- who started out cooking in restaurants, and wound up on the Food Network.

In 2018, a peer-reviewed article published in Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology suggested the theory that octopuses could have extraterrestrial origins. As in, they're not regular Earthlings. The 33 scientists who authored the paper say, the octopus could have arrived on Earth, in some form, on board a celestial body – like an asteroid. Most of the scientific community disagreed. Experts said octopuses are alien-like, but there are clues to suggest they experienced a normal, Earth-bound evolution. However…they might hold clues about what alien behavior would look like. Today, we're joined by researcher Dominic Sivitilli, who tells us what studying octopus cognition can teach us about alien intelligence. Keep up with us on Instagram @theconspiracypod!

Steve Doughton is a Portland-based filmmaker whose works explore themes of alienation, connection, and displacement. After establishing himself in New York's experimental film scene during the 1980s, Steve returned to his hometown, where his filmmaking evolved into something more sustained and emotionally resonant. Earthlings, his latest feature adapted from a short story by longtime collaborator Jon Raymond, continues his exploration of isolated individuals brought into uneasy intimacy—this time through a dinner party that confronts issues of race, class, and belonging in a distinctly Portland setting. Though shaped by his experimental roots, Steve's recent work is grounded in character-driven storytelling, revealing the quiet, often painful negotiations of human connection across social and emotional borders.

If you were curating a mixtape that might be heard by aliens billions of years from now - but definitely would be seen by your fellow Earthlings - what would you put on it? In 1977, two Voyager spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral on a journey that would take them beyond our solar system. Affixed to the side of these two planetary explorers was the Voyager Golden Record — the ultimate mixtape of humanity — containing 27 pieces of music as well as pictures and sounds of Earth. But how did these selections get made?

Imagine, if you can, a world where bits of colored cloth did not rile people up to commit acts of war or prop up genocidal campaigns aimed at eradicating the undesirables. A world where allegiance was not given to nation states, but instead to Earth herself. No borders. No countries. Devotion instead to the apodictic rock beneath our feet and the entirety of beings calling our big rock home. Rather than calling ourselves American or Colombian or Bengali or any other nation state, we begin identifying ourselves as Earthians or Earthlings or some name indicating our allegiance to all life on earth rather than any segment carved out by evil.

Welcome, Earthlings and Cybertronians alike, to another episode of Play Comics-where the only thing more confusing than the continuity is trying to fold yourself into a PS2 disc case! This time, we're rolling out (and occasionally transforming) into the wild world of the 2004 Transformers video game. Yes, the one that's based on Transformers: Armada-even though the box art was too shy to admit it, and the plot zigzags harder than a Mini-Con on a caffeine rush. Joining us for this electrifying adventure is none other than Charles Shelton from the TransMissions Podcast Network, a man who knows more about Autobots, Decepticons, and questionable voice acting than Unicron knows about planetary snacking. Together, we'll dodge Decepticlones, collect Mini-Cons like they're Pokémon, and ponder why Optimus Prime never just took a vacation in the Amazon (hint: robot allergies). So buckle up, hit that triangle button to transform, and prepare for a journey through nostalgia, PS2 graphics, and more robot drama than a Cybertronian soap opera. Let's see if we can save the universe-or at least get through the jungle level without rage-quitting. Learn such things as: Why do you need to experience things for yourself and not rely on others to decide if you'll like a thing or not? Do you really need to see all of those great Transformers characters that you've come to love so much? Wouldn't it be fine to just have a few of them? How did Soundwave get into here and mess with Charles's audio? Especially because he doesn't even show up in Armada? And so much more! You can find Charles on the  TransMissions Podcast Network which includes shows looking at the toys, the media, and even an actual play Transformers themed tabletop RPG game.

Today I talked to Marcia Bjornerud about Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks (Flatiron Books, 2024). Rocks are the record of our creative planet reinventing itself for four billion years. Nothing is ever lost, just transformed. Marcia Bjornerud's life as a geologist has coincided with an extraordinary period of discovery. From an insular girlhood in rural Wisconsin, she found her way to an unlikely career studying mountains in remote parts of the world. As one of few women in her field, she witnessed the shift in our understanding of the Earth, from solid object to an entity in a constant state of transformation. In the most tumultous times of her own life, a deep understanding of our rocky planet imbued her life with meaning. The lives of rocks are long and complex, spanning billions of years and yet shaping our own human lives in powerful, invisible ways. Sandstone that filters out pathogens creating underground oases in aquifers of clean water. Ecologite is “the chosen rock” whose formation keeps the planet running. Earth is not just a passive backdrop, or a source of resources to be mined, extracted, and carved out. Rocks are full of wisdom, but somewhere along the way many of us have forgotten how to hear it. When we are uncertain about where to find truth, a geocentric worldview reminds us that we are Earthlings, part of a planetary community where we can wisdom in the most unlikely places.

Transforming healthcare through innovations in extreme environments.Humans operating in extreme environments often conduct their operations at the edges of the limits of human performance. Sometimes, they are required to push these limits to previously unattained levels. As a result, their margins for error in execution are much smaller than that found in the general public. These same small margins for error that impact execution may also impact risk, safety, health, and even survival. Thus, humans operating in extreme environments have a need for greater refinement in their preparation, training, fitness, and medical care. (Source: Optimizing human performance in extreme environments through precision medicine: From spaceflight to high-performance operations on Earth) This session discusses the latest developments in Space & Earth medical science and research with leaders in this specialist, exciting and critically important domain of humans in space.

Adopting a vegan lifestyle can do more than improve your health and the planet—it can deepen your spiritual connection and clarity. Karen Hoyos, a transformational leader, speaker, and author, has embraced veganism not just as a diet, but as a profound way to align her actions with her purpose and values. On the NHA Health Science Podcast, hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, Karen shared how her 20 years as a vegan have been integral to her personal healing, spiritual growth, and transformational work with others. Healing Trauma to Find Purpose Karen's journey toward clarity and purpose began with a need to heal her own trauma. Growing up in Colombia, she witnessed domestic violence within her family, a cycle that left deep emotional scars. Moving to the United States as a young mother marked a turning point. Determined to leave behind the pain of her past, Karen sought out personal development and spiritual growth. Through mentors like Tony Robbins and her meditation teacher, she began addressing the roots of her trauma. “Until we heal our past, it manifests in our relationships, health, and even financial struggles,” Karen explains. Healing, she emphasizes, is about moving from victimhood to empowerment, understanding the unconscious patterns that perpetuate pain, and choosing to grow beyond them. Veganism as a Path to Alignment Karen's introduction to veganism came through her spiritual practice. Her meditation teacher emphasized the connection between diet and consciousness, opening Karen's eyes to how food impacts energy and clarity. After watching the documentary Earthlings, Karen committed fully to a plant-based lifestyle, driven by compassion for animals, concern for the planet, and her own spiritual alignment. For Karen, veganism represents congruence—living in alignment with her values. “You cannot hurt and do good at the same time,” she explains. This alignment has become the foundation of her transformational work, where she teaches others to live authentically by harmonizing their actions with their deeper purpose.

In the journal Planetary and Space Science Dr. Kevin Cannon and his two coauthors analyze the potential of asteroid mining as a source of metals for manufacturing here on Earth as well as a repository of raw materials for space colonists.These authors find there are less precious metals in iron meteorites than was previous estimated. However there are a small number of precious metals whose concentration in asteroids is higher than any ores found on Earth. In the future Earthlings may be wearing jewelry made from asteroidal metals.

Resource Labs Network founding member, Lisa Ann Pinkerton of Earthlings 2.0 podcast, hosts a discussion with the DOE's Becca Jones-Albertus, Director of the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office during the annual RE+ tradeshow to introduce the latest round of winners to our audience! Thank you, Lisa Ann, for leading this discussion on our live stage! Every year at RE+ (since 2019!) we have been honored to receive the newly-crowned winners of the Solar Prize, so Lisa Ann and Becca helped commemorate the 7th year of this competition from the Department of Energy which accelerates solar innovation, offering startups critical resources to bring their ideas to market.And the winners are…Fram Energy, a winner focused on expanding solar access to rental properties, presented a software solution that addresses the "split incentive" issue between landlords and tenants. Their platform allows landlords or third-party developers to install solar panels on rental buildings and sell the generated power to tenants, tapping into a vast, underserved market in clean energy.Gritt Robotics, the other Grand Prize winner, aims to streamline solar construction with robotics. Their approach automates labor-intensive tasks, like moving and installing solar panels, making solar deployments faster and more efficient. Using AI-powered robots, they enhance productivity and allow the human workforce to focus on complex tasks.Competitions like the American-Made Solar Prize are essential for the solar industry, helping innovative startups enter the market faster by providing vital resources, expert connections, and support through the American-Made Network.To learn more about Resource Labs and check out Lisa Ann's podcast at www.resourcelabs.co If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2

Recently, a lot of smart people who work on space problems gathered at the Value of Space Summit in Colorado Springs and talked to us about the things that keep them up at night. At the top of their list? Earthlings hacking satellites and speeding bits of space junk.

Alan and executive producer Graham Chedd look ahead to season 27. In a nostalgic look back at the TV series The West Wing, Alan recalls the scariest moments of his career; we visit a puppy kindergarten to spot future service dogs; a doctor tells stories that vividly illustrate the shortcomings of the health care system; and we meet a woman who can read our history as Earthlings. All that and more…

Miscommunication between autistic and non-autistic individuals can lead to painful misunderstandings and strained relationships. In this episode, we talk to Jaime A. Heidel, author of 'What Did I Do Wrong? An Accessible Guide to Preventing Traumatic Misunderstandings Between You and Your Autistic Loved One.' Emily and Jaime discuss the common communication barriers between autistic and non-autistic people, the importance of listening to autistic voices, and the need for effective communication to prevent trauma. They talk about the need for specificity in communication, and the impact of trauma and the importance of validating neurodivergent experiences. Takeaways Miscommunication between autistic and non-autistic individuals can lead to painful misunderstandings and strained relationships. Listening to autistic voices and consuming their content can help improve understanding and foster better connections. Believing autistic individuals and being specific in communication can greatly improve communication and prevent trauma. The impact of trauma on neurodivergent individuals is real, and it's important to validate their experiences. Register here for our free annual fall event we've created specifically for educators who are passionate about creating neurodiversity-affirming learning environments for students. The event will be held on Monday, September 23, and you can sign up to join Emily and a live panel of experts, who will be discussing ways to best support students of all neurotypes. Jaime A. Heidel, The Articulate Autistic, is a late-diagnosed autistic/ADHD woman who uses her social media platforms to explain the autistic experience in terms that their neurotypical loved ones can understand and relate to.
