Brian sits down with Steve of Steve Searches to talk Bigfoot research, drone mapping, and going solo in the wild. Steve traces his fascination back to the Patterson–Gimlin film and The Legend of Boggy Creek, plus years of solo camping on a Montana farm. After military service, he built a career in drafting and mapmaking—eventually integrating drones into terrain mapping, a skill he now uses in Sasquatch research.Midway through the episode, Brian pauses to provide a detailed update on the disappearance of Kyron Horman (June 4, 2010, Skyline Elementary, Portland). He outlines the timeline, investigative shifts, focus on stepmother Terri Horman, reported inconsistencies, and alleged murder-for-hire claims. With renewed review efforts under a new DA in 2025—including digitization and planned FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit involvement—the case remains open. A $50,000 reward is still being offered for credible information.Back in the forest, Steve shares experiences from Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount St. Helens, including a 2008 incident near Ape Cave involving sudden silence and a strong animal odor. Around 2020–2021, he connected with regional researchers, began pro bono drone work, attended Squatch festivals, and launched Steve Searches (YouTube, Facebook, and blog) in 2023. He's since collaborated with Michelle Heaton, the Sweet Home Oregon Sasquatch Research Group, and Sasquatch Highway.Steve describes his evidence-first approach—mapping, measuring, documenting, and presenting findings without firm conclusions—while remaining open to high-strangeness elements. He also discusses solo field safety and recounts intense 2023–2024 encounters, including loud rock clacks, nighttime footsteps around his tent, and a large limb crashing across a road as he packed up—an event that ended the trip.Find Steve at Steve Searches (YouTube & Facebook), stevesearches.com, and his new project Planet Sasquatch, a developing hub for gear reviews and shared field techniques.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Navigating Subtle Acts of Exclusion: Dr. Baran on Culture Change and Inclusion

In this episode of The Health and Wellness Coach Journal Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh is joined by Dr. Michael Baran, social scientist and CEO of Iris Inclusion. Through his speaking engagements, writings, consulting, leadership development, workshop facilitation, and digital products, he and his diverse team help organizations build cultures of inclusion, psychological safety, innovation, and performance. Before making the shift to full-time consulting work, he taught courses at Harvard University and the University of Michigan, and he worked as an applied researcher at the FrameWorks Institute and the American Institutes of Research. His book, Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions was coauthored with Dr. Tiffany Jana. The book has won several awards, has been a Hudson News and Amazon bestseller, and has been named by Forbes as one of “11 Books to Read to Be a More Inclusive Leader.” In this episode, Dr. Baran shares how his journey into inclusion work began with curiosity about inequity, exclusion, and belonging. This curiosity led him to doctoral research in cultural anthropology, extensive fieldwork in Brazil, and eventually to applied research, teaching, and consulting with organizations seeking meaningful culture change. A central focus of the episode is the concept of subtle acts of exclusion, a framework Dr. Baran co-developed with Dr. Jana as a more accessible and actionable alternative to the term microaggressions. He explains how subtle acts of exclusion often emerge from a disconnect between intent and impact—moments where someone may be trying to connect, help, or compliment, yet the interaction lands as hurtful, stressful, or exclusionary. Over time, these repeated experiences can have significant mental, physical, and organizational consequences. Dr. Baran shares why reframing the language has helped reduce defensiveness, increase buy-in, and create more productive conversations about culture and inclusion. The episode also explores how cultural insight becomes practical action. Dr. Baran describes how anthropological research methods—such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups—help organizations better understand what is actually happening within their systems and day-to-day practices. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, this approach allows organizations to design culture change strategies that are responsive, effective, and grounded in lived experience. Drawing from his work in healthcare, Dr. Baran shares a case study from Tufts Medical Center, highlighting what large-scale culture change can look like in complex, high-pressure environments. He discusses the importance of leadership buy-in, thoughtful framing, and scalable strategies that respect the realities of frontline work. Dr. Baran also addresses the broader political and cultural uncertainty surrounding inclusion work today. He reflects on how polarizing language and shifting external pressures have affected organizations' willingness to engage in this work, and why focusing on clear values—such as inclusion, fairness, and belonging—remains essential. The episode closes with a message of empowerment for coaches and healthcare professionals. Dr. Baran emphasizes that culture is shaped not only by those in formal leadership roles, but through everyday interactions. Coaches, regardless of niche or title, play a vital role as culture shapers by helping individuals develop awareness, empathy, and the capacity to respond thoughtfully to subtle acts of exclusion.

In this episode, we speak with Master of Public Health students Bethel Abraham and Sona Fall about their study abroad course in Tanzania, which focused on low-cost strategies for waterborne diseases and waste management. We explore their journeys from pre-med backgrounds to public health—Sona's pivot occurred after realizing she could impact lives outside a clinic, while Bethel moved toward systemic change after witnessing the political and healthcare systems affecting children in emergency units. They share how their work with the Applied Global Public Health Initiative (AGPHI) led them to Dar es Salaam. Bethel and Sona detail their work alongside UNICEF and the Ministry of Health, describing an environment where health officials took time off their jobs to learn as equals with students. They discuss the "unlearning" required after their initial focus on malaria and cholera shifted; upon arriving at the Azimio Ward, they found their bus blocked by a massive puddle of standstill water and realized residents prioritized waste management over disease data. By using systems mapping to visualize community outcomes, they pivoted their interventions to address the lack of infrastructure. This episode is a lesson in grounding strategy in empathy and recognizing community members as the experts.

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it. I need to actually show people things.”“They have sexual control.

Mikkel B. Rasmussen brings a rare lens to the AI conversation. As an applied anthropologist, he has spent decades helping companies like LEGO uncover what is really going on beneath the surface.In this episode, he shares how deep insight often begins with being wrong, why surprise is the clearest sign you have found something meaningful, and how the pain of not knowing is essential to breakthrough thinking. He also explains how AI is transforming his own research, from pattern recognition to video ethnography, and introduces a provocative idea: Anthropology Without Anthropologists.Jeremy and Henrik reflect on what it means to teach AI how to surprise us, how synthetic data might reshape experimentation, and why better insights begin with better questions.Key TakeawaysInsight starts with being wrongMikkel defines insight as the gap between how we think the world works and how it actually is. Anthropology helps uncover these mismatches, and that is where real breakthroughs begin.Pain is part of the processMikkel and Jeremy both reflect on the emotional struggle that precedes insight. The doubt, sleepless nights, and questioning whether the work will ever come together is not failure. It is a necessary stage of discovery.Surprise is a signalThe moment of surprise, when a new pattern emerges or an assumption is shattered, is at the core of applied anthropology. For Mikkel, it is the clearest sign that you have found something real.AI can accelerate experimentationMikkel shares how AI is already helping his team analyze patterns, run faster experiments, and even conduct interviews that outperform humans in some cases.

The discussion covers the evolving role of debt as an instrument of empire, the emergence of sovereign wealth funds, and the ways financial instruments and flows of money subtly shape political realities and people's lives in the region. Professor Elyachar discusses her latest book "On the Semicivilized: Coloniality, Finance, and Embodied Sovereignty in Cairo" and how she challenges the notion that global finance originated solely in the West. The conversation delves into the history of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and their role in economic development, particularly in "pushing debt as a form of development". A Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University whose work examines the intersection of finance, political economy, and the Arab world, Elyachar also shares her family's history as sarrafs (bankers/brokers) in Ottoman Palestine, and how this tradition sparked her interest in finance and economics. She also explains the historical legal category of the "semicivilized," a term used in international law to describe the Ottoman Empire and other non-European powers who were recognized as legitimate sovereigns. 01:13 Introduction 03:31 A Family History of Finance in Ottoman Palestine06:52 Fieldwork in Cairo: Informal Economy and Debt10:15 The Problem of NGOs and "NGOification"15:53 Debt As an Instrument of Empire23:28 Defining "Semicivilized"37:57 The Central Question: Finance and Violence50:12 The Rise of Sovereign Wealth Funds56:11 Turning Debt Into Assets Julia Elyachar is an anthropologist, political economist, and award winning author.

In this episode of China Field Notes, Scott Kennedy speaks with historian Michael Szonyi about why fieldwork matters to social historians and trends in U.S.-China relations. Szonyi unpacks the concept of “history from below” and how doing fieldwork in localities helps social historians understand history from the perspective of everyday people, their practices, and community dynamics that are less visible when looking through the lens of the country's leaders or international politics. Drawing on years of research in places such as Quemoy and Yongtai (Fujian), he describes how local records, such as land deeds and genealogies, complicate familiar national narratives and reveal how ordinary communities experienced major political and geopolitical shifts. Kennedy and Szonyi conclude by discussing the role of historians as public intellectuals, the risks of scholarly decoupling, and why first-hand knowledge of China remains essential for navigating the future of U.S.-China relations. Michael Szonyi is Frank Wen-hsiung Wu Professor of Chinese History and former Director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. A social historian of late imperial and modern China, his books include The Art of Being Governed: Everyday Politics in Late Imperial China (2017) and Cold War Island: Quemoy on the Front Line (2008). His most recent works are The China Questions 2: Critical Insights into US-China Relations (co-edited with Adele Carrai and Jennifer Rudolph, 2022) and Making Meritocracy: Lessons from China and India, from Antiquity to the Present (co-edited with Tarun Khanna, 2022). He received his B.A. from the University of Toronto and his D.Phil. from Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He has also studied at National Taiwan University and Xiamen University. He is currently writing a modern history of rural China and a study of a remarkable trove of local documents found in Yongtai County, China. In 2024, he was made an “Honorary Villager of Yongtai.”

Inside the Digital Siege

Episode #435: “There is a person behind every piece of policy,” says Nandar, a senior digital security expert at DigiSec Lab, reflecting on Myanmar's transformation into a digital prison since the 2021 military coup. Along with researcher and trainer Vox, journalist and consultant Myat, and political researcher Candle, they discuss how the junta's technological control has reshaped daily life, eroded freedom, and forced citizens to adapt in order to survive. Nandar, who leads digital safety training and emergency response, describes Myanmar's “digital siege” as an Internet that works but no longer grants freedom. Layers of control filter access, monitor behavior, and instill fear. Through deep packet inspection, metadata tracking, and the 2025 Cybersecurity Law, the state monitors every interaction and compels service providers to surrender data. The result, she explains, is not disconnection but silence—an online world where communication feels dangerous and self-censorship has become instinct. Journalists, activists, and youth face the worst effects, yet resistance endures in small, encrypted acts of persistence. Vox, a digital safety researcher, recalls how after the coup, blackouts became “Internet curfews,” and police raids and digital fear merged into everyday life. With no protection from global companies, he and others learned that tools like Signal or Telegram could not guarantee safety. Every conversation required verification; every contact might be compromised. Digital survival meant learning espionage tactics in civilian life. Years later, he says, surveillance has become total. What began as emergency control has evolved into permanent monitoring, leaving an entire generation living cautiously under a digital authoritarian state. Myat, a journalist and media consultant, says that while before the coup, Myanmar's independent press was expanding, after the coup, licenses were revoked, reporters jailed, and websites blocked. Exiled media outlets now depend on fragile networks inside the country. Online activity itself has become perilous: VPN use invites arrest, encryption offers no safety when authorities demand passwords, and surveillance reaches into every newsroom. Myat works to train journalists in digital hygiene and security awareness, yet she warns that technology alone cannot protect them. Financial collapse and fear have made survival uncertain, and she insists that the culture of safety—and courage—must now define journalism in Myanmar. Candle, a political researcher leading DigiSec's “Duty of Care” project, focuses on how scholars must adapt research ethics to extreme risk. Fieldwork, interviews, and data collection can expose both researchers and participants to danger, so her team developed a Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan for every project. Integrating encryption, anonymization, and storage security has become an ethical duty, not a technical choice. She explains that fear now shapes participation—many citizens decline interviews or refuse to share information. By embedding safety into research design, Candle argues, social inquiry itself becomes an act of protection as much as discovery. Together, their voices reveal a single truth: in Myanmar, speaking, writing, and researching have become acts of resistance sustained by vigilance and quiet resilience.

There is a buzz in the neighborhood and people passing by are noticing that it looks like a restaurant already. They will have an extensive beer selection and a full menu including pizza, salad, wings, French fries, fried cauliflower and pickles and lots more. Barry tells about how they serve a rotation of beers, so that fans of different types of beer can keep coming back for their favorites. He also says this is one way to make the brewers' jobs interesting. They are using a lot of new technologies with their hops, including hop distillates, extracts and experimental hops. Fieldwork Brewing also works with Berkeley Yeast. This company is engineering yeast to mimic certain flavors. This goes mostly into the hop-driven beers and their non-alcoholic or “N/A” beers. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. Amidst the current downturn in the beer market, Fieldworks Brewing is actually growing. They are opening their tenth location in the Bay Area. The NHL's San José Sharks have chosen Fieldwork as their official non-alcoholic beer. Some of their N/A drinks use compounds (with complex chemical names) which confer extra flavors as well as a mood lift, according to Erin.

What happens when the search for truth leads you past the point of no return? In the first episode of Cosmosis: Origins, Kelly and Jay step out of the studio and back into the field—returning to the places where their lives first collided with the unknown. Through moments of honesty and reflection, they revisit the experiences that shattered their understanding of reality and the friendship that was forged in the fire of shared initiation. From childhood encounters with luminous beings to life-altering contact events in adulthood, Origins traces the unlikely path that brought them together—and the moral injuries, secrets, and strange grace that came in the aftermath. As they leave behind the noise of UFO discourse to follow the signal deep into the Ohio River Valley, they ask what it means to rebuild belief from the ruins of certainty.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Today we talk with Margreet Pakkert, who was kind enough to record an interview during the Flevoland 2025 Field Work Archaeology Open Day . The students were supervised as they document a Dutch Waterschip . This is a type of fishing vessel that was common in the Zuiderzee before it was reclaimed to form the province of Flevoland . As fish were caught they were kept alive in two chambers in the boat that were open to the sea¸ allowing the fishermen to deliver the freshest of fish to their market . As the water table in Flevoland is lowering, the shipwreck will soon rot away. So the team are out teaching students the craft of documenting the find and preserving what is unique. The ship itself sank between 1520 and 1530. Download hpr4447_VID_20250802_100139Z.mp4 video.

The legs of two people can be seen standing on the grass above two archaeologists who are in the wreck. From the grass level, there is a 30cm/1 Foot layer of sandy soil until there wreck begins. The body of the ship is exposed and we can see the interlocking planks that form the hull. There is a "stepping stone" path made from sand bags from the keel/center spine of the ship, to the surface. One archaeologist stands at the end of this path with a bucket and at his feet is a scoop that he is using to fill it. The lower part of the ship is filling with water that is seeping in from the surrounding ground. Another archaeologist stands in the Bow/Front of the ship with a drawing board where she is making a record of the find. The view down the tent from front to back. The ship lies about 15 Degrees to port (left in direction of travel) A photographer is taking pictures. The bun/fish compartment In the body of the ship we see three wooden partitions, that form the two chambers that were used to keep the fish alive. Although not visible to the untrained eye, there are holes to the outside sea. The Mast hole in the keel A close up of the 2M/6Foot wooden sleeper that lies on a forklift pallet. It is about 15CM/6Inches thick. This has a about 30cm/1 Foot square hole in it, that is only about 5CM/2Inch deep. This was used to hold the bottom of the mast. The Timbers Views of the overlapping timbers with cut marks, and pins holding them together. The Back/Aft A view from the back from the back of the ship. We can see that there is a rip in the hull behind the last fish compartment and the back of the ship. Was this a collision or did it occur after sinking ? An archaeologist is fighting a loosing battle to scoop out water. The glamour of the dig. The back of the site tent showing the woodland in the background, a pile of soil that was removed, and a another pile of rotting wood from the ship. There is a makeshift pool of water used to store water pumped from the wreck. The front of the site tent showing the woodland in the background, some storage shipping containers, some steel plates used to spread the load of heavy machinery. A 2M/6Foot wooden sleeper lies on a forklift pallet. A earthen mound is in front of the woods. In front of that is a very wet and damp looking tarpaulin with parts of the ship. They are normally kept wet covered with another tarpaulin so they will not rot. Each has a label on it. Some are held vertical by sandbags. There is a view of the pile of rotten wood, the eacavated soiland the pump pool. There are some rusted iron as braces in the wood. There is a rust shaped axe. Information Displays A informational poster showing how they determined the date to be Dendroarchaeology. If two trees grew during the same period, the thickness of their rings during that period will be the same. Archaeologist were able to make a complete historical map of tree rings going back to prehistory. They did this by comparing the overlapping tree rings from in existing buildings, shipwrecks and artwork. In some cases there were receipts from wood choppers for the timbers. Further back can be used by comparing overlapping rings in different artifacts. A drawing of the ship cross-sections through the center, a top, front and back view. Then a drawing of the ship with triangle sail at the front, and a square sale at the back with rigging. The cross section shows where the bun/fish compartment was located in the middle behind the mast at the bottom of the ship. A informational poster tells us the shipwreck was discovered in 1972 when the land was drained. The ship is 16 meter long and 5.5 meter wide, which is a small version as they often got to 20 meter in length. The ship was complete to the top of the bun/fish compartment. It sank somewhere between 1520 and 1530. It continues to give a timeline of the discovery. The next poster shows the 3d scans from 2022 to 2025. 2022 Shows the front half of the ship with a rats nest of broken timbers. 2023 The entire top deck is exposed 2024 and 2025 show the wood is now cleared down to the frame of the ship. There are also 3D printed versions of the scans in cases. The 3d scanner used to record some of the models. A map showing the shipping routes through the Zuiderzee. Items that visitors are encouraged to touch are fresh moss used to seal the lats, a piece of timber, some iron nails, and braces to keep the planks together. Items that visitors are not allowed to touch include, barrel taps, rings, actual moss, fish bones, and a box of other finds.

A new generation of scholars is reshaping China-Africa research. More geographically diverse and digitally fluent than the field's early pioneers of the 2000s, this cohort brings fresh perspectives and tools to the study of China's engagement on the continent. Yet deep structural barriers persist. African and Chinese researchers still face sizable obstacles in shaping research agendas, as U.S. and European institutions continue to dominate decisions about what gets studied, who receives funding, and which voices are amplified. Solange Guo Chatelard, a research associate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the new executive director of the Chinese in Africa/Africans in China research network, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the current state of China-Africa scholarship and where it's going.

My guests on the show today are Anthony Perala and James Hannack, research analysts at Punch & Associates. Anthony and James recently returned from a multi-city due diligence trip across Western Canada, and in this episode, they walk us through what they learned — not just about specific companies, but about the power of seeing businesses up close. We talk about why in-person research still matters, especially in microcaps where management access, company culture, and operational visibility aren't always obvious on paper or a Zoom screen. They share how walking factory floors, reading body language, and noticing office details can shape conviction and surface red flags in ways spreadsheets simply can't. Anthony and James also explain why Calgary and Vancouver are becoming regular stops on their research itinerary, how they prepare for and structure field visits, and how they filter insights once they're back at the desk. We also cover common pitfalls, lessons learned, and what separates candid management teams from those just giving the “IR version” of the story. If you've ever questioned whether boots-on-the-ground research still adds value in today's data-rich environment — this episode makes a compelling case that it does.
