Now that World Cup games have taken over nearly every television around the globe, today we bring you two stories of World Cup firsts in this year's tournament. Uzbekistan is the first Central Asian country to appear in the tournament, and we go there to find that their achievement is not an accident and may be a sign of bigger changes underway. And Iran is the first team to play in a host country it is at war with, but while their games are in the U.S., they are being forced to stay and train in Tijuana, Mexico. We go to that city to hear how Mexicans feel about the arrangement.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, but here's a rebroadcast of one of the first episodes since Anna joined the show.Let's get straight to it. Sober sex for the first time is a big deal! Some of us had never even done it before. We talk about our experiences – from what we were told to what we expected, and what it was actually like. Lisa had an eventful trip to Utah and Anna, well, let's just say she ignored all that advice about not dating for the first year. 

Félix Nadar took the first aerial photograph in 1858, so the story goes. The evidence, Emily Doucet notes, is mixed. In Inventing Nadar: A History of Photographic Firsts (Duke UP, 2026), Doucet analyzes the historical and material production of the nineteenth-century Parisian photographer's famous and numerous photographic firsts. Focusing on these oft-labeled groundbreaking elements of his career, she deconstructs Nadar's legacy as a prime protagonist in the history of photography by interrogating the media techniques used to construct his invention narratives. Doucet highlights this highly mediated process as one that canonized novel applications of photography as discrete techniques with single authors and inventors. Looking to this process of mediation through the institutions and individuals that shaped Nadar's archives, Doucet unpacks assumptions of Nadar as a master of early photography and shows how the medium is enmeshed in larger histories of media, science, and technology. The result is both a new account of Nadar's place in photographic history and a critical study of how stories of innovation take shape. Learn more about your ad choices.

You know the birthdays, the ones with a zero at the end? Hitting our first ones in sobriety added a new dimension to the milestones. Lisa couldn't believe she made it her 40th birthday and wishes she'd kept contributing to her 401(K) before that. Anna turned 30 a month after going to rehab and 50 in the midst of the pandemic. Despite the challenges, in the end we realized there's always a reason to celebrate.

It's the dreaded 8th Step in 12-Step recovery - making amends to those we have harmed. Anna and Lisa talk about their first experiences with it, as well as what “living amends” look like. And when an amends turns into a bitch session for the other person, we take it in stride, and maybe even have a laugh years later. Plus: how do you make amends to a no-longer-living grandmother you tricked into shoplifting against her knowledge?

Firsts by Kwame Slusher There are some firsts that not everyone shares, like going to an almost abandoned kafeneio in Marrickville, or being a chopper pilot. Sometimes, we just need a little adrenaline rush and a little courage to step outside ourselves and see what surprises await. Produced by: Kwame Slusher Dobrinja by Dan Semo For some, home is filled with laughter; for others, it brings tears, or memories of the people who shaped us. But for Dan, returning to his childhood home after 30 years, it felt distant and unrecognisable, its history revealed only in fragments. “Room tour, old stories, fresh raspberries …  there was no blood, only a small mark ect straight to the heart.” Produced by: Dan Semo for Audio Flux Circuit 04. The First Test by Phoebe Steley We often imagine high school girls’ drama as something straight out of Mean Girls: petty, gossipy, and a little vengeful. Sometimes, we expect resolutions to look like the movies, too: tearful confessions, heartfelt apologies, maybe even a closure. In this story, Charlotte and Izzy show us how conflict can be very different and how it brought them closer. Often, the other person values the friendship just as much as you do… Produced by: Phoebe Steley I am the first by M. Cristina Marras Marble stairs echo. Voices fall silent. A great hall looming over. The family stood in rows of chairs, uneasy, the girl advanced as her world and their slowly widening. “I cannot tell them that it's okay, that they are legit, that they do not have to hide behind. I am the first person in my family to be awarded a university degree.” Produced by: Cristina Marras for Audio Flux. Meet me at the punchline by Ramon Briant The recipe for a good laugh is a good punchline. The question is: how can you make your punchline punching when it is in another language? In this story, a successful first attempt to crack a joke in Spanish. Note: This won’t make you a foreign-language punchline master, but you’ll get a few dad jokes - just as worthy for a laugh.

What does the first Saturday night you stay home sober look and feel like? Just the prospect of it can send shivers down a newly sober spine. Lisa remembers a sense of relief, tinged with some envy knowing that her friends were out partying. Anna learned that boring wasn't always bad and that maybe those people who'd been watching Saturday Night Live while she was out tearing it up were onto something.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.    Colossians 1:15-18 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

When ag education student Molly Lusk went looking for a hands-on experience to make her a more well-rounded ag teacher in the future, the Talon Internship Program through the Angus Foundation piqued her interest. The North Carolina native immersed herself in the Wye Angus crew, doing everything from heat detection and moving cattle to baling hay and gathering carcass data. The University of Maryland herd provided a unique backdrop for non-traditional education, while Molly brought new energy and a sense of curiosity to the work. Hear how the internship process works and what everyone took away from it.    HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully   GUESTS: Molly Lusk, an agriculture education major at North Carolina State University, first got interested in agriculture growing up in a small town just outside of Asheville, N.C. In eight grade she joined a livestock judging team, which evolved into her chosen major and decision to get hands-on farm experience to supplement her classroom learning.  Heath McPherson began his role as a program manager at Wye Angus in December. A former National Junior Angus Association board member, Heath says he's a “self-proclaimed data nerd” and looks into seeing what they can build at the University of Maryland farm.  Megan Stibbe, Wye Angus program manager, has been with the University of Maryland since 2022 and the Angus farm since 2024. Megan grew up on a dairy farm, holds an ag business degree from what's now Delaware Valley University and worked nearly two decades at an ag newspaper before her current role. RELATED READING:2026 Angus Foundation Scholarship Applications Due May 1New Regions, New OpportunitiesSeek and You Shall FindA Perfect FitSPONSORS:  Angus Media:  Are you ready to level up your herd's genetics?

Business dinners often come with the expectation of drinking to loosen things up and get everyone feeling chummy. Defying that expectation can feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't have to. Anna spent her first nine months of sobriety among the open bars of the most fabulous Hollywood events as Premiere magazine's “Party Girl” columnist while Lisa's nights out with her colleagues taught her a lot about the way other people drink. Check out all things Recovery Rocks, Lisa and Anna. 

In pop culture, "last" often just means "for now." In intellectual property law, it means something much more concrete. In this episode of IP Goes Pop®, Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue explore what "last" really means across film, TV, music, and IP law. From The Last Samurai and The Last Jedi to Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Last of Us, "last" builds emotion, but rarely signals the end. In IP law, it does. The hosts explain how rights expire, can be lost early, become generic, or change by statute. Featuring examples like Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and It's a Wonderful Life, this episode breaks down why IP rights don't last forever, and why that matters.

We did "Firsts" two weeks ago, so you probably saw this one coming.

Who says you can't go home again? You can. Sometimes it's a choice, and sometimes it's not. Lisa went home to her family straight out of detox and immediately faced the reality that she might have left the world of drinking, but it hadn't left her. Anna learned what can happen when a family member asks if you mind if they drink, you say you do and they get mad. The ladies also veer into discussing going home to an apartment that had previously been a den of inequity and starting fresh (and clean). Check out all things Recovery Rocks, Lisa and Anna. 

Rev Chris Jimmerson and Sol Cornell's service delivered on March 22, 2026. Everybody has to start somewhere. We tend to focus more on our endings, though, what we've accomplished, what we've lost. But what if we turned our attention back to the beginning? What if we held our first steps and awkward starts with the same honor we do our successes? This Sunday, we'll pause to notice these beginnings and to appreciate them for getting us where we are.

It was bound to happen - an ex from our pasts would pop up out of nowhere. Lisa ended up rekindling an old flame that was more fun sober. And Anna found herself face-to-face with her first love. We talk about crazy run-ins, finding closure, and the universe bringing people back into our lives. Check out all things Recovery Rocks, Lisa and Anna.
