The whole system is called you circadian rhythms and you are about to take an interesting journey into how they work so that you can understand your personal circadian rhythms and how to optimize them. Here to explain it is Lynne Peeples. She is science journalist and former staff reporter at The Huffington Post. Her work has appeared in The Guardian, Scientific American, Nature and other publications. Lynne is also author of the book, The Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms (https://amzn.to/3XJWcWx) Do you know who built the first internal combustion engine-powered car?

Here to explore these questions and explain some of the amazing history of the automobile is Witold Rybczynski. He is an architect and emeritus professor of urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania. He has written 21 books with his latest being The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car (https://amzn.to/3BlWCuN). Can dogs or cats be vegetarian or even vegan?

The Redding Civic Auditorium, built in 1970, is a unique venue that caters to concert-goers, trade show attendees, banquets, and much more. Flex seating allows the capacity to change based on the size or style of the event. Even though it serves many entertainment functions in our community, the Civic sometimes doesn't get the credit it deserves.  Today we talk with Julie Dyar, General Manager of the Redding Civic Auditorium, and while she admits that the design of the building is polarizing, she believes the foresight in the flex seating capacity is just one of the elements that has made the venue last as long as it has in our community. We'll also find out what it takes to book a show, what makes Redding a good market, and how ticket prices are calculated. She'll also dispel a few longstanding myths about who runs and owns the Civic. There are a ton of exciting acts hitting the Redding Civic Auditorium soon—including the biggest outdoor stage ever to grace the Civic this fall. With more to come in the next year, there has never been a better time to check out all the great shows coming to our area.Learn more about the Redding Civic >>Read the transcript >>Contact the City of Redding Podcast Team Email us at podcast@cityofredding.org Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Visit the City of Redding website Love the podcast?

The Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum, located at The Culinary Institute of America at Copia, in Napa, CA, is home to more than 4,000 culinary artifacts from the Williams Sonoma Founder's personal collection. The exhibit includes a collection of terrines, dating from the 1700s through the 1900s. A terrine refers both to the dish it's baked in, and to the dish itself. The literal translation of “terrine” in French is "large earthenware pot.” Terrine dishes were frequently crafted in the likeness of animals, meant to depict the main ingredient contained within the terrine itself, with shapes ranging from lambs, boars or pigs, ducks, geese, and other game birds. The museum's French Covered Hare Paté Terrine, dates from 1790-1830, and was used to serve Terrine Au Lapin, or rabbit terrine.  Learn more about the museum and visiting hours: https://www.ciaatcopia.com/chuck-williams-culinary-arts-museum/ Watch videos about a selection of museum artifacts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVtTKvDDq_huEOZFb2GNC3ybFk_WnGFyX Special thanks to Williams Sonoma Inc.

Vietnam is a country with a rich (albeit complicated) history. Before communism, it was torn apart by civil strife, pegging northern forces against southern. Prior to that, it was under the colonial yoke, when France claimed it as part of its overseas empire. But before all this, a power known as the Champa Kingdom ruled over the country's southern half, leaving behind the hallmarks of its civilization in the form of temple complexes and palaces. Join me this week for an extensive look at this oft-overlooked Southeast Asian power! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historylovescompany/support

We learn about the rich heritage of Gloucester in the fishing industry and how Neptune's Harvest evolved from the family's seafood business, pioneering a variety of organic fertilizers so that all parts of the harvested fish are used and not disposed of as waste. We also learn about Ann's personal journey from an art student who traveled with the Grateful Dead, to her pivotal role in marketing and sales at Neptune's Harvest. If you're wondering what is so special about fish fertilizer, Ann shares all of the benefits that we can expect from Neptune's Harvest and her favorite products. Get ready to make some good dirt!

Between Scott, my partner, and I, Scott is definitely more of a foodie. When I found Gastropod, I realized that while my palate isn't as refined as Scott's, I do love to learn about the history and science behind food. Gastropod feels like the podcast equivalent of eating comfort food. I hope you enjoy learning food science in a fun way as much as I do!  Links from this episode: Kid Podcast Guide   View the rest of the show notes on the Friendly Podcast Guide Website  

Ouch! If you're a parent, there will surely come a day when your child injures herself. How you respond in the moment is important! Tune in to hear some tips from Miranda about keeping your kiddos (and maybe yourself) calm in the heat of a *painful* moment. And, speaking of painful moments, Mel shares about how a beer chicken gave her a full-on Zombie arm... weird right?? But the weirdness doesn't stop there (it never does!) because Mel teaches us about the unusual history of Band-Aids! Mel tells us the things we never needed to know about the product we never knew we needed... until we did! So throw a wine cooler in your first aid kit (it doubles as an ice pack, right?) and let's get going!

In the vibrant tapestry of homeschooling, we find an educational journey that champions curiosity and flexibility over rigid curriculums, much like the historical fight between AC and DC electricity—each a metaphor for the value of diverse learning approaches. Through personal stories, Tatiana and Heidi delve into the art of tailoring education to fit each child's unique interests and needs, underscoring the importance of community and mentorship in enriching the homeschooling experience. This discussion goes beyond traditional education to highlight the significance of preparing children for an ever-changing future through a growth mindset. Emphasizing project-based learning and real-world applications, it advocates for an educational philosophy that fosters a genuine love for learning, aiming not just to prepare children for academic success but for life's broader challenges. At its core, Heidi & Tati's discussion promotes Leadership Education as the essence of homeschooling—a strategy that nurtures future leaders by leveraging curiosity, adaptability, and hands-on experiences. It's a call to reimagine education as a journey of discovery, growth, and preparation for life's infinite possibilities. 00:00 Introduction 00:15 The Fascinating History of Electricity 00:42 The Battle of Currents: Edison vs Tesla 02:39 The Impact of AC and DC Current in Modern Life 03:37 Applying Lessons from History to Homeschooling 04:13 Personal Homeschooling Experiences and Challenges 04:51 The Importance of Adapting to Each Child's Needs 05:28 The Role of Leadership Education in Homeschooling 06:47 The Value of Flexibility and Community in Homeschooling 14:21 The Power of Project-Based Learning 18:39 The Importance of Lifelong Learning and Growth Mindset 25:23 The Role of Curiosity in Future Success 30:29 The Value of Community in Homeschooling 45:17 Conclusion: Embracing the Homeschooling Journey LINKS Reason to Believe – podcast – a physicist.

We are thrilled to engage in a conversation with the remarkable breast oncologist, Dr Elizabeth Comen, hailing from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the US. Our focus is on unravelling the intricate history of women's hormones, as we embark on a journey to comprehend the missteps along the way.“The history of women's healthcare is a story in which women themselves have too often been voiceless—a narrative instead written from the perspective of men who styled themselves as authorities on the female of the species, yet uninformed by women's own voices, thoughts, fears, pain and experiences. The result is a cultural and societal legacy that continues to shape the (mis)treatment and care of women”, writes Dr Comen.“All in Her Head” is Dr Comen's new book and wow - This book will upend everything you thought you knew about your body while empowering you to make better decisions moving forward.

There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well. Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences. I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field. And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.More educated, better informed and less alone.Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group:

Legendary music artists The Supremes and Harry Belafonte passed through there. It was a place of prestige and pride for Philadelphia's Black population. Such was the early legacy of the Nile Swim Club, which, in the late 1950s, opened in response to racial segregation in the borough of Yeadon. But with the passing of time, the club's allure began to change. Declines in enrollment became so sharp that Nile was ultimately forced to declare bankruptcy. In recent years, benefactors have emerged to save the club, and reset its role in the community it serves. West Chester University Professor of History Dr. Bob Kodosky, author of The Nile Swim Club of Yeadon: A History, shares stories about the club's past, and looks ahead to its future.

An amazing number of dogs get stolen every year. And it's all about the money. This episode begins with a look at this growing crime and why you should keep a close eye on your pet. https://petkeen.com/dognapping-dog-theft-statistics/ When people are told they are too sensitive, it is usually not a compliment. Being sensitive is often looked at as a weakness – a character flaw. What sensitive people need to do is toughen up. Well, not so fast, says Jenn Granneman. While being sensitive can have challenges, that sensitivity is also a super power. Listen as she champions those who are labeled sensitive with research to back up her beliefs. Then she offers some terrific advice to help sensitive people deal with a not-so-sensitive world. She also has excellent advice if you are not highly sensitive but have sensitive people in your life. Jenn is author of the book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World (https://amzn.to/456D3Qu). Think of how much recorded sound plays a role in your life. Music, podcasts, radio, movie and TV sound – recorded sound is important to us. From Thomas Edison's first cylindrical recordings to digital downloads and streaming, the history of recorded sound is fascinating. Joining me to tell that story is Jonathan Scott author of the book Into the Groove :The Story of Sound From Tin Foil to Vinyl (https://amzn.to/3Kh1d2Q).
