A gladiator named Diodorus defeated his opponent Demetrius in the arena, accepted his submission, discarded his own helmet and shield, and reached for the palm branch that marked his victory. Then the referee refused to honor the submission and ordered the fight to continue. Diodorus was killed. His tombstone, which survives, reads: "Murderous Fate and the cunning treachery of the referee killed me, and leaving the light, I have gone to Hades." Another gladiator named Urbicus, who had once spared a defeated opponent and was later killed by that same man in a rematch, left behind the most chilling last words in Roman history: "I advise that he who defeats a man should kill him." Today's guest is Harry Sidebottom, author of *Those Who Are About to Die: A Day in the Life of a Roman Gladiator*. Structured as a single twenty-four-hour cycle from the gladiators' last supper through the morning beast hunts, midday executions, and afternoon combat, Sidebottom's book dismantles almost everything Hollywood has taught us about the arena. We discuss why gladiators were deliberately fattened on barley stew so their subcutaneous fat would produce spectacular bleeding from non-fatal wounds, how Roman senators kept illegally sneaking into gladiatorial schools despite repeated bans stretching across two centuries, why the Colosseum was built on top of Nero's artificial lake using plunder from the sack of Jerusalem, and how Galen pioneered human surgery by first vivisecting a live monkey and then treating wounded gladiators at Pergamum. We also look at why epileptics drank gladiator blood as medicine (and why Roman doctors reluctantly admitted it might work), how twenty-nine Saxon prisoners strangled each other without a rope rather than fight, and why Constantine did not actually abolish gladiatorial combat despite what every Christian source claims.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Brad Panovich, WCNC CharlotteIf you've lived in North Carolina for any length of time, chances are you've turned to one familiar face when the weather turns serious. But being a trusted meteorologist today isn't just about what happens on TV—it's about showing up wherever your audience is, whether that's on-air, online, or in the middle of a rapidly evolving storm. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte. For decades, Brad has helped guide North Carolinians through everything from day-to-day forecasts to high-impact events—including more recent storms like Hurricane Helene—building a level of trust that goes far beyond the forecast itself. We'll talk about how his approach to communication has evolved in the age of social media, what it takes to cut through misinformation, and how you balance urgency, clarity, and calm when people are depending on you the most.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Brad Panovich and His Journey02:55 The Evolution of Weather Communication05:54 The Importance of Credentialing in Meteorology08:56 The Role of Trust in Weather Forecasting12:05 Break 112:08 Navigating Social Media as a Meteorologist15:13 Handling Negativity and Criticism in the Digital Age20:13 Understanding Public Perception of Weather Forecasts23:40 Break 224:12 The Role of Social Media in Weather Communication26:28 The Impact of AI on Meteorology30:11 Personal Reflections on the Impact of Meteorology34:26 The Educator's Role in Meteorology ResourcesOhio State University Meteorology Program - https://meteo.osu.edu/UNC Charlotte Weather Communication Course - https://physics.charlotte.edu/ Guest linksBrad Panovich on Twitter - https://twitter.com/WXBradWebsite - https://www.wcnc.com/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wxbradSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How much rain did we get from Arthur? What do we know about the tornado activity? We recap what happened with Arthur with LSU Health climatologist Barry Keim.

Rabon Delmore never learned to drive a car, so it was always his older brother Alton behind the wheel as they tooled between gigs in the early days of their career during the Great Depression.That routine played a big part in The Delmore Brothers' prolific songwriting life. As he later described it in his autobiography, Truth Is Stranger Than Publicity, Alton would hum melodies while he drove and he and Rabon would harmonize on new verses as they occurred to them.Riding shotgun, Rabon acted as the editor and scribe. He wrote down the words on the fly, adding, deleting and refining the lines to fit the duo's signature syncopated rhythm.Because of this practice, the Delmores' songs were well polished by the time they got to a recording studio to preserve them for later generations of fans. It also gave them an edge in other ways too.Brown's Ferry DebutFor instance, while “Brown's Ferry Blues” wasn't released on record until 1934, the song had began developing in their minds four or five years earlier, and it served as their secret weapon at a crossroads moment in Athens, Alabama: the February 1930 Limestone County Fiddlers' Convention at the Old Athens Agricultural School. The poverty-stricken brothers arrived carrying their guitars in makeshift cases that their mother had sewn out of cotton picking sacks on with their names were painted in pokeberry juice. Facing stiff competition — including a tie-breaker with three heavily favored local girls — their well-honed tune sealed the win.“We had ‘Brown's Ferry Blues' down pretty pat,” Alton wrote in his memoir. “In fact, we could play it then just as good as we ever did... When we did it, the people really went wild and we won that contest without any question or any doubt. And that started us on our way to the Grand Ole Opry and the big record companies.” Whither Brown's Ferry?The title of the tune, incidentally, was inspired by Alton and Rabon's deep roots in northern Alabama, named after an old ferryboat that crossed the Tennessee River about 30 miles south of their home in Elkmount, Ala.Alton's book noted the old crossing was a place he and Rabon loved to visit when they were growing up in their lean years as a tenant farmer's sons.By the way, decades later that peaceful river spot of the 1920s underwent a massive transformation. In 1973, the Tennessee Valley Authority opened the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant on that exact site, turning the idyllic old-time ferry landing into one of the largest nuclear power facilities in the country.Song LegacyThe song “Brown's Ferry Blues” was a milestone in establishing Alton and Rabon as one of the most influential duos in early 20th century American music history.In December 1933, the Delmores traveled to Chicago for their first recording session with RCA Victor's budget label, Bluebird. “Brown's Ferry Blues” was recorded on the first day and sales quickly made the number a hit.The pair soon became the most popular act on the Grand Ole Opry. Starting in the mid-1930s, they recorded more than 80 sides for Bluebird.The shadow of “Brown's Ferry Blues” followed them. In 1943, when Alton organized an all-star gospel quartet at WLW in Cincinnati alongside Merle Travis and Grandpa Jones, they chose as the group's name “The Brown's Ferry Four.” Flooding the FerryDave Peyton, Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen used to play this tune back in the 1970s when the band was just getting started at the Bowen Bashes.But the song only recently has come back into the Floodipshere. Here it is from a recent rehearsal, featuring Danny Cox's guitar and Jack Nuckols' fiddle. This is a public episode.

Guest: Seth Borenstein, Associated PressEvery day, new scientific discoveries shape the way we understand our world — from extreme weather to the changing climate. But most of us don't read scientific journals. Instead, we rely on journalists to translate complex research into stories that inform the public and help us make sense of what it all means. Today we're joined by Seth Borenstein, a veteran science reporter with the Associated Press who has spent decades covering everything from hurricanes and heat waves to the latest breakthroughs in climate research. Over the years, his reporting has helped bring critical science stories to audiences around the world. In this episode, we'll talk about how science journalism has evolved, how the media approaches reporting on Climate Change, and what it takes to translate complex science into clear, trustworthy stories for the public.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Credibility01:43 How Seth Became a Weather and Climate Geek04:02 The Evolution of Climate Science Narratives07:47 From Uncertainty to Scientific Certainty11:53 Finding and Vetting Credible Scientific Sources16:04 The Role of AP and Wire Services in Science Reporting17:48 Break 118:16 Challenges and Opportunities in Science Journalism21:52 How Seth Finds His Experts25:03 Impact of Social Media on Climate and Weather Reporting27:57 Dealing with Disinformation and Misinformation28:39 Break 229:46 Memorable Stories and Impactful Reporting32:20 Embedded Reporting with Storm Chasers34:15 The Human Side of Weather Disasters36:55 Advice for Future Climate and Science Journalists39:25 Where to Find Seth's WorkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

June is giving us a bit of everything. Powerful early season storms. Hot and muggy days. Cool and rainy stretches... But, you know what? Overall, the corn is looking pretty good. On today's podcast, the Wyffels Agronomy Team discusses early season greensnap and root lodging concerns, weed management, and more! Key Takeaways- Recent weather events have created both challenges and opportunities for corn farmers.- Early season greensnap injuries may have less impact on overall yield than injuries sustained later in the season.- Strategic weed management is crucial to maintaining crop health and avoiding potential yield losses.Links discussed in this episode:Between The Rows® - Weed ManagementAmes, Iowa "Between the Rows In Field Edition" - Event DetailsBetween The Rows® - Effects of Flooding and Saturated Soils on CornBetween The Rows® - Damage from Summer StormsWe want to hear from you.

Joining me to discuss - HD 62 candidate KaVon Arnold, seeking to overcome not only a primary runoff opponent, but half a million in gaming PAC money, too.Also problematic is that her opponent, Ken Collier, doesn't have the kind of voting record that speaks to being a staunch (or even just present) Democrat.Anyhow, it was good to connect with KaVon; she's a great story of a hometown East Point / Tri-Cities grad who continues to re-invest in her community and school through good works. - - - The looming Iran / US / Israel "memorandum" doesn't pass the smell test, nor does warhawk Pete Hegseth's assertion that this deal is going to be so wonderul because we attacked them - preferable, I sppose, to not attacking them and just sticking to the JCPOA signed into existence by President Obama about twelve years ago before Trump withdrew us from it. But also, how significant will this deal even be? And while we're coming up with $300 billion to repair damage done in Iran, where's the money for Americans' having to endure spikes in fuel prices and the cost of goods?

A new study has been released that shows the impact of human-induced climate change on global sea levels, focusing on the change from 1900 to 2005.  It found that, worldwide, one in a hundred-year flooding event had a median increase to the 1 in 8-year event average over this time. Even more concerningly, the study found that the increase was not geographically balanced, and Wellington coastal floods have increased to roughly a twice-per-year occurrence. Relevantly, last week Wellington faced large swells up to 9 metres, resulting in a state of emergency and mandatory evacuation orders at numerous bays in the area. To discuss the results of the study and how best to respond to the findings, host Thomas talked to Victoria University Professor of Climate Science & Physical Geography, James Renwick.

In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look at three topics of intrigue:Christie Pits Park: Christie Pit park was the place of a notorious riot within the city of Toronto. During the start of Hitler's time in office in Germany groups of supporters cropped up across North America. In August of 1933, a group of young nazi's incited a riot at a ballpark, pulling in close to 10,000 people into the fray. Unfortunately, these ideologies wouldn't end there, as we still see them this day.The Earl of Rochester: John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester was a poet from the 1600s, just not the kind we would expect from that era. Much of his greatest works were smut and for the longest time this was not appreciated, until nowThe Flood Myth: "Instructions of Shuruppak" is one of the oldest documents we know of, the oldest version thought to be from 2600-2500 BC and it was thought to be a text of great wisdom, a document from a father to his son on how to live a good life. But there's more to that, so much more.

Flooding continues to be the number on hazard when it comes to disasters. Knowing what area is subject to flooding before a flood, the extent of what that flood impact might be, and then knowing the status of an ongoing flood is critically important.

Insurer IAG says political parties should join in making New Zealand more resilient to climate change. Its new report highlights our recovery bill is north of $4.2 billion dollars every year. It says New Zealand has major gaps in climate adaptation - and no clear strategy, a lack of consistent and effective rules, poor funding tools and no incentives. Victoria University Emeritus Professor Jonathan Boston says it's a tough political sell. "It's a kind of lose-lose situation, there are very few brownie points in not preparing people for disasters."

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Okavango Delta is that its defining moment happens in the absence of rain. Each year, as much of southern Africa dries out, water arrives from over a thousand kilometres away, slowly moving through the system and breathing life back into the landscape. In this conversation with Simon Byron from Beagle Expeditions, we unpack how that process actually works, why this particular season is standing out, and how these underlying mechanics shape not just the environment, but the way you experience it. Along the way, we touch on the bigger story of the Delta itself, a system that is constantly shifting, quietly responding to rainfall, geology, and time.Check out Beagle Expeditions - https://beagle-expeditions.com/ Start Something Beautiful - https://wild-eye.com/Chat to us - info@wild-eye.com

Guest: Adam Fouche, University of GeorgiaWhen you head to a big football game or an outdoor concert, you're probably thinking about the music, the crowd, and the excitement in the air. But behind the scenes, there's another team hard at work — one that's watching the skies. From lightning delays to fast-moving thunderstorms, weather can quickly turn a packed stadium or festival into a serious safety challenge. Protecting tens of thousands of people requires careful planning, constant monitoring, and sometimes very quick decisions. Today we're joined by Adam Fouche, Interim Associate Vice President for Environmental Safety, Risk, and Resiliency at the University of Georgia. His team works behind the scenes to help keep major events — from concerts to packed game days — safe when the weather takes a turn.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:53 Adam Fouche's Weather Geek Origin Story02:45 Adam's Role in Weather Safety at UGA04:09 Weather Safety in Large Campus Events07:09 Weather Risk Assessment for Events10:22 Lightning Protocols and the 8-Mile Rule12:57 Debate on Lightning Delay Rules13:44 Break 115:15 Weather Support Models at SEC Schools18:01 Collaboration with National Weather Service20:04 Communication Strategies for Weather Risks21:59 Psychology of Weather Risk Perception25:01 Venue Design and Weather Vulnerabilities26:07 Break 226:38 Understanding Severe vs. Non-Severe Weather30:09 Technology and Weather Monitoring Tools33:33 Public Safety Advice for Weather PreparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Department of Justice is trying to sell finality where there is still fog. After a chaotic rollout of Epstein-related materials, officials have framed the release as complete and urged the public to move on. But volume without structure is not transparency. Dumping massive amounts of material without clear indexing, consistent redaction explanations, and a verifiable accounting of what was withheld creates confusion rather than clarity. The public was promised a legally mandated framework under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that would identify categories of records, explain redactions, and specify which government officials and politically exposed persons were named. Instead, critics argue the process feels curated and defensive, more focused on narrative control than genuine accountability. Declaring “no more files” does not resolve outstanding questions about scope, missing categories, or investigative decisions—it freezes the narrative at a politically convenient moment.At its core, the frustration stems from a longstanding distrust of how powerful institutions handle cases involving powerful people. A serious transparency effort would provide traceability, context, independent review mechanisms, and precise legal justifications for every withholding decision. Without those guardrails, the release risks functioning as a containment strategy rather than a corrective one. Calls to “move on” land as dismissive because the underlying questions—who enabled Epstein, who benefited, and whether institutional actors were protected—remain unresolved in the public's mind. If the administration wants credibility, it must move beyond slogans and provide structured, auditable disclosures that withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, skepticism will continue, not because people crave drama, but because incomplete transparency invites suspicion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

She built the business. Now she's fighting to stop it from taking over her life.
