In September 1991, two German hikers found a dead body while walking through Europe's Ötzal Alps. It turned out to be a perfectly preserved 5,000-year-old mummy. The archaeologist Konrad Spindler inspected the body along with the assemblage of items recovered from the gravesite. A person of this age had never been found before in such exceptional condition. They'd lived during the transition between the stone and copper ages, and provided a snapshot into early human culture, medicine and genetics. Hunter Charlton tells the story through archive interviews with the archaeologist Konrad Spindler and forensic pathologist Rainer Henn who were involved in recovering, analysing and preserving the mummy. An Ember production. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

CrowdScience listener Namrata and presenter Chhavi Sachdev have something in common. They both get more tanned in the summer in the United States than back home in India. Namrata wants to know why she came back from her run in Boston with such a deep tan and doesn't have the same experience in India. She's got quite a few theories herself and wonders if it's to do with the angle of the sun, pollution or humidity. Chhavi talks to dermatologist Neelam Vashi, who's based in Boston, to find out how we tan and what protects us from the sun. She meets Julian Groebner at the World Radiation Centre in Switzerland who compares the data in India and the United States for CrowdScience and comes up with a surprising answer. She also talks to Indians in Mumbai who share their attitudes to tanning and what steps they take to protect themselves from the heat of the sun.

‘We're fighting to survive in our home town, in our country, and at the same time we're fighting for our future, for our independence'Nick Robinson speaks to Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv, about Ukraine's war with Russia as it approaches its fourth year.Born behind the Iron Curtain in 1971, he's arguably best-known as a former heavyweight boxing world champion who made his name in the ring during the 1990s and 2000s.Having hung up his gloves following a series of injuries, when his native Ukraine endured political upheaval through the Orange Revolution, Vitali's attentions turned to the political arena. Following a short stint in the Ukrainian Parliament, where he aligned with pro-Europeans, Vitali was elected mayor of Ukraine's capital Kyiv in 2014 after heavily campaigning against corruption.But his greatest challenge in politics, and indeed even greater than becoming a world champion boxer, came when Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Canada's Boy Golden (Liam Duncan) has a new album coming in mid February on Six Shooter Records, and he has several new tours in the works! Music Matters host Darrell Craig Harris catch's up with him at his home in Winnipeg! About Boy Golden Who is Boy Golden? On the one hand it is moniker for a mysterious new artist, who is building buzz following major support for track "KD and Lunch Meat" from his debut album which hit #1 at Alternative radio in home country of Canada, and major moments including debut at Bonnaroo, and opening for Jason Isbell, MJ Lenderman, and Joshua Ray Walker. On the other hand, Boy Golden is also a conduit for songwriter Liam Duncan-a persona that allows him to create honestly and freely. For Duncan, Boy Golden grants access to an inner world only reachable through music. His three previous albums-For Eden (wistful), For Jimmy (rollicking), and the lemon-yellow-leisure-suited Church of Better Daze-served as a psychic clearing for Best of Our Possible Lives. This new work finds him mid-journey, reckoning with the self as it was, as it is, and as it can be. Boy Golden states "The lines between him and l are soluble... Whether it is my spiritual beliefs, my way of living, my sexuality - it comes up in my writing and I am then forced to reckon with it."

We conclude our month-long You 2.0 series with a look at the hidden power of doubt — not as weakness or indecision, but as a tool that helps us make better choices and navigate an uncertain world. Researcher Bobby Parmar explores how doubt can sharpen judgment, and makes a case for why the ability to sit with uncertainty may be one of the most important skills of all. Then, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," Emily Falk answers listeners' questions about defensiveness, and offers insights into how we can strengthen our ability to give and receive feedback. In this episode, you'll learn:*Why uncertainty and doubt feel so uncomfortable to our brains. *Why intuition can lead us astray, and how to know when doubt can help you make better decisions. *How the "pursue," "protect," and "pause and piece together" systems in our brains shape our decision making.*How stress can affect these brain systems and alter how we make decisions. *How our desire to avoid blame makes it more difficult to listen to our doubt. *Why we tend to prefer decisive leaders — and why this tendency doesn't always serve us well. *What researchers have learned about how experts and novices use doubt differently to navigate complex situations.

What happens when speed, scale, and convenience start to erode trust in the images brands rely on to tell their story? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I spoke with Dr. Rebecca Swift, Senior Vice President of Creative at Getty Images, about a growing problem hiding in plain sight, the rise of low-quality, generic, AI-generated visuals and the quiet damage they are doing to brand credibility. Rebecca brings a rare perspective to this conversation, leading a global creative team responsible for shaping how visual culture is produced, analyzed, and trusted at scale. We explore the idea of AI "sloppification," a term that captures what happens when generative tools are used because they are cheap, fast, and available, rather than because they serve a clear creative purpose. Rebecca explains how the flood of mass-produced AI imagery is making brands look interchangeable, stripping visuals of meaning, craft, and originality. When everything starts to look the same, audiences stop looking altogether, or worse, stop trusting what they see. A central theme in our discussion is transparency. Research shows that the majority of consumers want to know whether an image has been altered or created using AI, and Rebecca explains why this shift matters. For the first time, audiences are actively judging content based on how it was made, not just how it looks. We talk about why some brands misread this moment, mistaking AI usage for innovation, only to face backlash when consumers feel misled or talked down to. Rebecca also unpacks the legal and ethical risks many companies overlook in the rush to adopt generative tools. From copyright exposure to the use of non-consented training data, she outlines why commercially safe AI matters, especially for enterprises that trade on trust. We discuss how Getty Images approaches AI differently, with consented datasets, creator compensation, and strict controls designed to protect both brands and the creative community. The conversation goes beyond risk and into opportunity. Rebecca makes a strong case for why authenticity, real people, and human-made imagery are becoming more valuable, not less, in an AI-saturated world. We explore why video, photography, and behind-the-scenes storytelling are regaining importance, and why audiences are drawn to evidence of craft, effort, and intent. As generative AI becomes impossible to ignore, this episode asks a harder question. Are brands using AI as a thoughtful tool to support creativity, or are they trading long-term trust for short-term convenience, and will audiences continue to forgive that choice?

There's something fishy going on in the Czech Republic, where CrowdScience listener Ian lives. He keeps tropical fish, and he's noticed that when he adds new ones to his tank, they swim with others of the same breed. He wants to know how they recognise each other. Do they know what they look like, and recognise others that look the same, or is there something else going on?Presenter Anand Jagatia takes a deep breath and dives into the science. At the Blue Reef Aquarium in Portsmouth, Dr Lauren Nadler from the University of Southampton introduces us to some Blue Green Chromis fish to look for clues about how and why they form their large social groups. And we explore the smelly world of fish olfaction with Professor Culum Brown from Macquarie University in Sydney Australia. The mirror test is a classic way of trying to understand whether an animal can recognise itself or not. Professor Alex Jordan from the Max Plank institute in Konstanz, Germany explains how scientists place a visible mark on an animal, show it a mirror, and if the animal tries to rub it off, it suggests that the animal knows it's seeing itself. A variety of apes, elephants and dolphins have passed with flying colours, but has a fish been able to take on the test? And are there really self-aware shoals drifting through our oceans?

We caught up with unique indie artist Robert Deeble to talk about his new release “The Space Between Us” coming out February 6th. Roberts story driven lyrics and production have a classic vibe with a modern twist. Robert Deeble's spirit-infused lyrics are paired with a subtle, minimalist style that echoes old folk heroes like Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. His first album, released with his band, Days Like These, was a critical success and featured a duet with Victoria Williams, "Rock A Bye." Days Like These never performed outside of the L.A. area and disbanded soon after their first release. His second album, a solo effort entitled Earthside Down, was released in 1998 and featured the production work of Anthony Arvizu and Stephen Hodges (best known for his drum work with Tom Waits). They helped augment Deeble's spare sound with cellos, timpani, gongs, and electronic elements, creating a sound that treads a line between folk and ambient music. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi Robert's links www.hyperfollow.com/RobertDeeble www.Youtube.com/@Robert.deeble About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

A right-wing movement in South Korea is attracting disenchanted young people who are concerned about mass immigration, lawfare and cancel culture. They sport red baseball caps, idolise Charlie Kirk and chant that “Korea is for Koreans”. The movement has rallied around the impeached former president Yoon Suk Yeol, who was sentenced last week to five years in jail for abuse of power, obstructing justice and falsifying documents in relation to his failed martial law bid in 2024. Yoon could also face the death penalty over insurrection charges, which he denies. The BBC's Seoul correspondent, Jake Kwon, explains how South Korea found itself at the heart of a globalised culture war.

Is silence blood-curdling or blissful? CrowdScience listener Ziqi finds it intolerable and thinks that there's a good reason for it – silence is so rare in nature that it could be a signal for danger. Presenter Marnie Chesterton is on a mission to test Ziqi's theory, starting with her own tolerance for silence. She meets acoustic engineer Trevor Cox in the UK to find out whether silence is something we can measure. To do that she steps into an anechoic chamber, a place that's designed to absorb all sound. In this most silent of silent places, what does silence actually sound like? Marnie also talks to researcher Eric Pfeifer in Germany, who is exploring the impact of spending time in silence and has evidence to suggest that it could be a positive experience. And neuroscientist Marta Moita in Portugal tells Marnie about how rats use silence to detect a threat in their environment. Her discoveries may hold the answer to Ziqi's question.

In 1926, Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky created the modern kitchen. It was called the Frankfurt Kitchen and was something she didn't like to talk about as she had done so much more - she was her country's first female architect, she championed women's rights and played a role in the Austrian Communist resistance against the Nazi regime. She once said, “If I had known that everyone would keep talking about nothing else, I would never have built that damned kitchen!"Christine Zwingl, an architect and expert on Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, tells Gill Kearsley about Margarete's remarkable creation.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Crowdscience listener Ryosuke grew up in Japan, and spent his childhood summers catching cicadas in the park. For people in Japan, the sound of their chirping signals the first true summer day. But until they emerge, these enigmatic insects live underground - often for many years. Ryosuke wants to know how they know the time is right, and CrowdScience is on the case. Presenter Anand Jagatia pieces together the story of the species, and meets the small but dedicated group of academics worldwide who've been able to study them. In a field near Girona, Spain, he meets a scientist who's spent the last twenty years counting them. How will a temperature probe help us work out when they might emerge, and what are they doing underground for so many years anyway? In nearby Barcelona, another scientist cuts open the stem of a tomato plant and Anand watches as the sap flows out. Could this be a clue to how cicadas sense what's going on above ground? And he meets a cicada breeder in the US who has discovered a link between the life cycle of cicadas and the fruiting of a peach tree. Armed with that knowledge, can you really make time move faster for tree and insect alike?

Las Vegas-based funky soul favorites Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns make theirNAMM Show debut on the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage on Saturday, January 24 at 6 PM in Anaheim, California. Trumpet player and acclaimed musician Danny Falcone joins the podcast to talk about the band's journey, their upcoming NAMM performance, and his rich family musical legacy that continues to shape his career. More about Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns This band is the culmination of the dreams of all of the individual musicians in the band. We all dreamed about what the 'ideal' gig would be, and it went something like this: To play music that moved, challenged and inspired us without the usual external restrictions, influences, or boundaries that come with every other (paying) gig,... To make that music with people we love and respect both personally and musically. And to be able to share it with others. That is what Santa Fe & the Fat City Horns is all about. The band is a throw back to all the horn bands that influenced us all growing up, as well as a tribute to our musical heroes and friends mixed with our own music and arrangements. Old School and raw, but polished with pride and discipline.

In 1969, a cartoon about a traditional Japanese family premiered on Fuji TV.More than 55 years later, Sazae-san still airs in its original time slot. It is set in a more patriarchal time when women stay at home and do the housework, and men go to work and like getting drunk.Sunishi Yukimuro was one of the first writers. He tells Vicky Farncombe how young viewers watch it as a period drama and enjoy the closeness of the family.“They get most envious when they watch the scenes where everybody gets together to have a meal,” he says. “We don't have such scenes in current families.

Well known concert pianist Kimball Gallagher has made a huge impact on the lives of countless young people through his global non profit "88 International" Kimball Gallagher recently wrapped a two-week U.S. tour with the Tunisia 88 Alumni Choir, a group of young musicians who helped build those clubs from the ground up to what eventually became 88 International. The tour moved through universities, community spaces, and cultural institutions along the East Coast, with collaborations at Yale, Princeton, Bowdoin, Duke, and others. Along the way, the choir shared the story of how a student-led movement grew into an international network, and the tour set the stage for what Kimball is building next. On April 13th, Kimball returns to Carnegie Hall for his first solo recital there in over a decade. The program will combine classical repertoire with music shaped by his experiences working with students across Africa and Asia, with members of the Tunisia88 Alumni Choir joining him on stage, bringing the exchange and energy of the tour back to one of the world's most iconic halls. Kimball's path also defies the traditional classical trajectory. Raised in Boston, he pushed back against a strict musical upbringing, rediscovered the piano on his own terms, and later studied at Rice and Juilliard. Early on, he questioned the narrow routes available to concert pianists and began experimenting with salon-style house concerts that emphasized connection over convention. His idea to fund a piano by asking 88 donors to sponsor 88 keys became a turning point, showing him how music could build community far beyond the concert hall. That experiment led to a seven-continent concert journey and eventually to the founding of 88 International. Supported by partners including the European Investment Bank, the German Federal Foreign Office, and the U.S. State Department, the organization has reached more than 200,000 students and helped spark programs across North Africa, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. With the Tunisia88 Alumni Choir's U.S. debut and his upcoming Carnegie Hall recital, Kimball is reconnecting his global work with his artistic roots. It's a full-circle moment for an artist who has spent the past two decades blurring the lines between performance and purpose. website www.kimballgallagher.com www.88international.org social media www.instagram.com/kimball.gallagher www.instagram.com/88internationalmusic YouTube Tunisia88 https://youtube.com/@tunisia88?si=vCabRnbVuxOKuL8q About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.
