Australia is known for its unusual animal life, from koalas to kangaroos. But once upon a time, the Australian landscape had even weirder fauna, like Palorchestes azael, a marsupial with immense claws and a small trunk. There was Protemnodon mamkurra, a massive, slow-moving, kangaroo-like creature. And Zygomaturus trilobus, a wombat the size of a hippo. They're all extinct now, and researchers are trying to figure out why. Host Flora Lichtman talks with researcher Carli Peters about ZooMS, a technique that allows researchers to use collagen from ancient bone fragments to identify species, offering clues to those ancient extinction events. Peters recently described using the technique in the journal Frontiers in Mammal Science.And, a recent study in the journal Nature Astronomy hints that our own Milky Way galaxy may not be doomed to collide with Andromeda after all. Till Sawala, an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki, joins Flora to talk about the finding.Guests: Dr. Carli Peters is a postdoctoral researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and the Evolution of Human Behavior at the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal.Dr. Till Sawala is an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

This week Grant and Brooke consider images as enhancements to memoir. Historically publishers have tended to regard images in memoir with reservation, but that's been changing in recent years. Guest Jennifer Croft's recent memoir, Homesick, is accompanied by her own Polaroids. When should photos be included, or central? And what are some other memoirs that have been improved by the addition of images? Whether to include images involves many considerations—from your reader, to style, to the interplay between words and image, and Jennifer Croft offers thoughtful insights around this and more. Jennifer Croft is the author of the illustrated memoir, Homesick, and the translator of Polish of Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk's Flights, for which she won the 2018 International Booker Prize. She won a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship for her novel The Extinction of Irena Rey, the 2020 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing for Homesick. She is a founding editor of The Buenos Aires Review and has published her own work and numerous translations in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Granta, VICE, n+1, Electric Literature, Lit Hub, BOMB, and many more.

Join Mike and I as we chat about old man house project stuff we each were engrossed in to kick things off. From there we talk about how small the music industry really is the longer you stay in it. Mike shares some of the opportunities he's gotten over the years to fill in for people and his process of learning someone else's songs with a day or two's notice. Mike and I get into a bit of drum talk as I've recently been learning how to play, which leads us to gushing over our love of Meshuggah and Tomas Haake. We trade some humorous stories of us going to see bands while high. We discuss how we both had been going through a lot of life issues almost at the same time, and how we navigated those dark times, often checking in with each other. All this and more in my expansive chat with Mike.

In this explosive episode, Elana Freeland unveils a chilling transhumanist agenda reshaping humanity and Earth. From chemtrails delivering nanotech and heavy metals to mRNA jabs merging biology with AI, she exposes a decades-long plot for full-spectrum control. The Space Fence and 5G create an electromagnetic cage, while synthetic biology invades our air, food, and bodies. Freeland, a pioneering researcher, reveals how geoengineering and brain-computer interfaces aim to phase out Human 1.0 for a programmable, AI-driven future. This jaw-dropping conversation challenges everything you know about reality and demands a choice: resist or surrender to a synthetic destiny. GUEST: Elana Freeland is a fearless researcher and author exposing the Deep State's geoengineering and transhumanist agendas. Her trilogy—Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth, Under an Ionized Sky, and Geoengineered Transhumanism—maps a covert plan to weaponize the environment and biology with nanotech, electromagnetism, and AI. Her upcoming book, Remaining Human, tackles the 25-year epigenetic assault via mRNA and brain-computer interfaces. With a Master's in historiography and a background in biology and creative writing, Freeland's work, shared on Patreon, X, and YouTube, urges resistance against a synthetic future.

Lost Animals, Disappearing Worlds: Stories of Extinction (Reaktion, 2025) by Reverend Barbara Allen presents thirty-one extinct species through the personal perspectives of those animals. This intimate approach not only highlights each species but explores the broader implications of losing a species forever. How do we honour such a loss? Can we grieve for species we never knew? These animals range from the well-known passenger pigeon, thylacine and great auk, to lesser-known creatures like the Arabian ostrich, Saint Helena earwig and Bramble Cay melomys. These poignant portraits tug on the heartstrings and aim to inspire readers to protect vulnerable and endangered species today, motivating them to play a positive role in conserving our planet's biodiversity. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Roughly a third of all global mammal extinctions in the last 500 years are thought to have occurred in Australia. At least 34 species have gone extinct since European colonisation, and over 2,000 species of mammals, birds and invertebrates are now listed as critically endangered or threatened. Without substantial and rapid change, this list is almost certain to grow. Ruth Evans investigates what can and should be done to prevent further casualties and turn things around.
In this explosive episode, we rip into the prehistoric past and break down the epic timeline of dinosaur extinction. From asteroid impacts to volcanic fury and shifting climates, we trace the steps that led to the fall of the ancient rulers of Earth. But we're not stopping at fossils and science — we're turning up the volume with some face-melting metal riffs straight from the Stevie T channel!Get ready as Stevie T's Jurassic Park Metal Theme sets the tone, and his shredding solos fuel the journey through mass extinctions, Cretaceous chaos, and the dawn of a new era. If you thought the dinosaurs went out quietly, think again — this is extinction history with a metal backbone.Tune in, crank it up, and join the experiment as we keep America metal — one T-Rex riff at a time!
We're incredibly honoured to be joined by Ray Brassier, a hugely formative thinker for both of us and one of the most important philosophers of the past 20 years. We talk about his upcoming book Fatelessness: Freedom and Fatality After Marx and, the contemporary condition of The Wretched of the Earth. Ray also gives an absolutely brilliant takedown of Nick Land and the speculative inhuman. Hope you enjoy it.
In this episode of Truth Be Told, host Tony Sweet uncovers a prehistoric enigma hidden in the Amazon rainforest: 12,500-year-old rock art depicting animals thought to have gone extinct long before humans ever reached South America. Mastodons, giant ground sloths, and Ice Age horses—etched in ochre across cliff walls—are challenging everything we thought we knew about human history.How did these early artists know what these creatures looked like? Could this be evidence of an earlier migration, ancient memory, or even something more mysterious? Tony dives into the archaeological implications, the shamanic symbolism, and the unexplained elements that make this discovery one of the most fascinating of our time.
Today, almost one in 4 of all species are at risk of extinction, from caribou and spotted owls to sea stars and slime mould. In her new book, Sarah Cox visits the habitats where species are threatened, and the people who are trying to save them. She documents heroic efforts to prevent animal species from disappearing while, at the same time, challenging us to question the approaches we're taking. Sarah Cox is an award-winning reporter and B.C. bureau chief for The Narwhal.
In this thunderous episode of The Willie Jackerson Experiment, we dive headfirst into the cataclysmic timeline of Earth's mass extinctions—from the ancient Ordovician obliteration to the asteroid-fueled apocalypse that ended the dinosaurs. With riffs as heavy as the Chicxulub impact, Willie channels the sonic fury of shred legends Stevie T and the fantastical power metal of Angus McSix to sonically resurrect the five (and maybe six?) great die-offs in planetary history. Prepare for a history lesson that melts faces and ignites minds. It's science. It's metal. It's extinction—Willie Jackerson style.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=6DWu0O-qSBC-TWU-KbLjog
Catherine Fitts: Power Grids, Bankers vs. the West, Secret Underground Bases, and Extinction EventsWe live in times when trust in the traditional financial system is being put to the test. Centuries-old banks are facing silent collapses, national currencies are losing value, and ordinary citizens are beginning to question: are money as we know it on its last legs?In this episode of Multiverse 5D, we explore the signs of a possible systemic failure of banks and the accelerated advance of cryptocurrencies as a global alternative. What is behind bank failures in developed countries? Who really benefits from the transition to digital money? And more: do cryptos represent financial freedom or the beginning of a new global control?From the collapse of the fiat system to the digitization of currencies, we analyze future scenarios, dangers and promises. It is time to understand whether we are facing the end of an era or the birth of a new economic model.
In this episode of The Lid Is On, experts discuss the urgent need to restore the Ocean, which is facing a host of threats that could drive millions of marine life species into extinction and even endanger humanity.The protection of marine biodiversity will be under discussion at the UN Ocean Conference in June, where advocates will join politicians and members of the private sector to share solutions, including legal protections for the high seas, which lie outside national waters.The guests are Peter Thompson, the Secretary General's Envoy for the Ocean, Alfredo Girón, Head of the Ocean Action Agenda at the World Economic Forum, and Minna Epps, who runs the Ocean Program at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

For this episode, we sat down with Kate Rigby to discuss her new book Meditations on Creation in an Era of Extinction. The text is a reclaiming of the ancient theological meditation form, the hexameron, to consider the climate crisis and mass extinction. Meditating on a day of creation in each chapter, she tells us about the insights each day of creation has for the Anthropocene like contemplative practices in the First Day and the move from a "Kingdom" to a "Kindom" of species in the Fifth Day. This episode and the next will be on religion and ecology, a fitting focus on the topic at a time of a new Pope!

Welcome back to this person I met! My name is Kayla, and I'm the host of this podcast. The voice you just heard is professor Allen Liu from the University of Michigan. As you may have heard from the news, the scientific pipeline is facing a major crisis. Since January, the federal government has terminated over 1600 active research grants, worth roughly 1.5 billion, proposing a 37% cut to the National institute of health and a 56% cut to the National Science Foundation. But, what do these numbers mean? To professor Liu, whose life has been built upon science, the numbers spell out a massive change for STEM. The future of research, determined by Liu, is uncertain. In this episode, he explains the numbers and their potential impact on generations of scientists to come, and raises the question of what really is at stake when you neglect the scientific pipeline.

Technology, especially social media and the near ubiquity of mobile devices, has changed our world, our personal lives, and interpersonal relations. A great many people are waking up to the mountain of evidence suggesting that this change has not been all, or even mostly, for the better.

Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASCAP), researchers reveal the unique characteristics of these galaxies, including their powerful jets and lobes traveling at superluminal speeds. We delve into the implications of these findings for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.Changes on TitanNext, we discuss the intriguing changes occurring on Saturn's moon Titan, which is experiencing rapid orbital changes on geological timescales. Scientists explore the factors influencing Titan's tidal dissipation rate and what it reveals about the moon's internal structure and history. This study provides insights into the dynamic processes at play in our solar system's moons.Failed Soviet Spacecraft ReturnsWe also cover the dramatic re-entry of the Kosmos 482, a failed Soviet spacecraft that spent 53 years in orbit before crashing back to Earth. Launched in 1972 on a mission to Venus, the spacecraft's uncontrolled descent raises concerns about space debris and its potential impact on Earth.AI and Humanity's FutureFinally, we tackle the controversial topic of artificial intelligence and its potential risks to humanity. With AI evolving at an unprecedented pace, we examine the findings of a new study that assesses the likelihood of AI leading to human extinction. As science fiction warns of a future dominated by AI, we explore the reality of these threats and what they mean for our future.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScience Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvJournal of the American Medical Associationhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space time series 28, episode 57 for broadcast on 12 May 202500:54 Astronomers have discovered 15 giant radio galaxies each hosting a supermassive black hole09:35 You're still learning about these galaxies11:57 Now you, uh, mentioned starburst galaxies earlier.

It can be hard to enjoy the natural world these days without anxiety. You notice a butterfly on a flower and wonder why you don't see more. How's the monarch population doing this year? And shouldn't there be more bees? The challenge is to live in this time of climate change – but still find joy and refuge in it.

If you could be plugged into a machine that simulated the perfect experience — limitless joy, deep connection, a sense of purpose — yet you knew it wasn't real, would you choose to stay plugged in? This isn't just a philosophical exercise. As our lives become increasingly digitized, our relationships filtered through screens, our emotions managed by algorithms, our attention parceled out to feeds and notifications, we are confronted with a deeper question: what does it mean to have an authentic experience anymore? Our guest on this episode is Christine Rosen, a writer and cultural critic whose book The Extinction of Experience (2024) explores how the virtualization of our world is transforming not just our habits, but our inner lives. Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, and her own reflections, Rosen examines what we lose when direct embodied experience gives way to digital mediation, whether that's our connection to the natural world, our relationships, or even our own sense of self. The repercussions for medicine are profound. In an era where care is often delivered through screens, where patients track their bodies through apps and data, and where wellness is increasingly conflated with optimization, how do we preserve what is human in the doctor-patient relationship, and how do patients navigate their own sense of health and wholeness in a world that so often substitutes simulation for substance? This is a conversation that cuts deep into one of the most pressing cultural currents of our time and its implications for how we connect, how we heal, and how we find meaning in being alive.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - How Rosen came to focus her career on the history of technology5:51 - Why we should think proactively about the effects of technological advances on our behavior and society11:40 - How modern technology has encouraged impatience and disconnect with other humans27:06 - Why we should stop seeing technology as a means to “solve” or “overcome” human behavior 37:23 - The epidemic of loneliness that exists despite unprecedented levels of technological interconnectivity 45:37 - The moral challenges in our society's attempt to end boredom, discomfort, and suffering 54:28 - How to think and act critically about the relentless march of technology57:17 - What we can do to make our lives flourishVisit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Scientists at a bio-technology firm made headlines when they announced the “de-extinction” of the dire wolf, a species of wolf that went extinct on Earth over 10,000 years ago. Colossal Biosciences examined DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and used it to create wolf puppies with traits of the extinct species. The gene editing technology sparked curiosity around the world, and although the new wolves were not exact replicas of the originals they had similar traits. The development raises serious questions about what de-extinction really means.Mass extinctions have shaped the history of life on Earth, and nature has adapted across the millennia, but with almost half of all species already in decline, including some frogs, how seriously is de-extinction technology being taken?

Nobody ever tells you that aging is mostly just getting weird things on your body that you may or may not have to worry about. And this is officially an old lady podcast. Sarah is obsessed with Love on the Spectrum and she explains why the people on the show are so adorable and why we wish neurotypical dating was this good. Susie thinks Sarah might be on the spectrum, so we're considering whether she fits the bill. We think we might want to cancel Einstein, which is a real bummer because he was one of our favorites. Turns out, Albert wasn't exactly as progressive as we hoped, but we're thinking he was just a product of his time. Everyone is psyched out of their minds about dire wolves "coming back from extinction" when a) they didn't and b) why would it even be exciting if they had? Susie thinks it's racist (lol) or because they were on Game of Thrones or because the company doing all this weird Jurassic Park shit just has really good PR. Sarah reveals an urban legend about a "carbahn" underneath Los Angeles that allows famous people to avoid traffic.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/a-babysitters-nightmare-raising-pets-instead-of-kids-secret-starbucksJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get 20% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYGet up to 35% off PLUS 2 free gifts using code BRAINCANDY at https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
