Remember hearing all about the coming Ice Age in the 70s? Whelp! The 1970s was the decade of snow storms so... Listen up as we talk all about the biggest and baddest 1970s Snow Storms.
(image source: https://www.britannica.com/animal/sea-cow)Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Joel Rick discuss Hydrodamalis gigas, a manatee but big. Well, technically it was more closely related to dugongs, but y'all don't know what those are and manatees get more clicks. From the Late Pleistocene to the Early Holocene, this 30-foot sirenian was a big player in the Ice Age and made it all the way to the eighteenth century… which means you probably can guess what happened next and why it's extinct. Damn humans. I'm ashamed to be one of them. Maybe AI actually should take over the world…Want to further support the show?

This was an excellent crossword by Rena Cohen, a Washington University in St. Louis student. If the university sounds familiar, that might be because another NYTimes crossword contributor, Sid Sivakumar, also hails from there. What are the odds? And we'll leave it to the reader to contemplate whether the appearance of 77A, Sloth in 2002's "Ice Age", SID, is coincidence or the result of meticulous planning.Today's puzzle had a brilliant theme (covered thoroughly in today's episode) and many, many amusing clues. Among the latter was the informative 57A, Discontinued iPods designed to fit into watch pockets, NANOS; the puzzle-within-a-puzzle 113D, Midwest city whose name becomes a Southwest city if you move the first letter to the end, AMES; and the source of in some cases very cheap goods, 52D, Chinese competitor of Amazon, TEMU.Show note imagery: An example of the work of AL Hirschfeld, a highly regarded 20th century caricaturist.We love feedback!

What if one of the most important technologies in human history wasn't a spear, a stone tool, or writing, but a bone needle?In this episode of Ethnocynology, David sits down with Dr. McKenna Litynski, an interdisciplinary anthropologist, to explore how sewing needles, clothing, and thermoregulation fundamentally reshaped human survival during the Ice Age. And helped Homo sapiens expand across the globe.This conversation is both a deep dive into Ice Age archaeology and a clear, behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how you actually earn a PhD in anthropology, from preliminary exams to dissertation defense. This episode acts as both a spiritual successor to the viral “Why a Clovis Bone Needle Is the Most Important Artifact in North America” video and a practical guide for students curious about graduate school.Links:davidianhowe.comDavidianhowe.com/storeArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Video version on YouTube (with actual video this time - I fixed the lights)https://youtu.be/ArDauZSpDT8In this episode of The Eastern Border, we strip away the propaganda and look directly into the terminal necrosis of the Z-Empire. The "Geopolitical Greatness" has peeled off like cheap wallpaper, revealing the rot underneath.The Economic Suicide Note We start with the panic in the Kremlin's wallet. The US has seized a sixth Russian tanker, and the "Z-Patriots" are finally realizing that Donald Trump isn't their savior—he is their repo man. We read the latest dispatch from oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who has penned what amounts to a suicide note for the Russian economy. He calls it "Perestroika-2." He warns of mass bankruptcy by June. He confirms that the "Sovereignty" they fought for is just a clearance sale for China.The Phantom Airforce We listen to Vladimir Baglaev, a Cherepovets factory director who sounds less like a captain of industry and more like a nihilist philosopher. He breaks down the Kremlin's plan to build "1,000 airplanes" by 2030 and reveals the funding gap is 99%. There are no planes. There are no machines. And, thanks to the war, there is no one left to build them.The Asylum of Lost Souls But if you think the economy is broken, wait until you see the minds. We tour the ideological asylum with Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov, the retired GRU officer who wants to combine the Gulag with the Monastery into a "Russian Christian Socialist State."And finally, we witness the ultimate collapse of meaning. Alexander Dugin—the "Brain of the State"—has identified the true metaphysical enemy of Russia. It is not NATO. It is not the West. It is Cheburashka. Dugin has declared a holy war against the Soviet cartoon character, identifying him as a "Demon of the Moon" and a symbol of liberal post-humanism.The pipes are bursting. The factories are silent. And the philosophers are hunting cartoons. This isn't strategy. It is entropy. And entropy is undefeated.Stay warm, stay hard, and keep your powder dry.Links mentioned in this episode:❄️ Support the Show: Patreon

From the same studio that made Ice Age, comes their second movie about a world where the machine rule, where humanity is all but a forgotten past...Wait... no... this isn't the Matrix... It's ROBOTS! "Aunt Fanny... we were using our arms!"
History's repeating itself …loudly.In this Trawl, Marina and Jemma struggle to keep things light as America spirals deeper into terrifyingly authoritarian territory.They discuss the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent, the disturbing footage that followed, and the speed with which Trump's administration moved to justify, sanitise and defend her death. From the tripling of ICE's budget to the erosion of judicial oversight, this episode lays bare what happens when a heavily armed force is unleashed with political cover and “absolute immunity”.Along the way, there's Trump's increasingly unhinged behaviour, a media ecosystem willing to dehumanise the dead, and the uncomfortable truth that Renee was not the first person killed in ICE custody - just the first white person caught on tape.It's an angry, upsetting, necessary listen with moments of solidarity, clarity and humanity where the Trawl ladies can still find them.One of the 'Under Rateds' will give you shivers.

Join us for a captivating conversation with Aleksander Czeszkiewicz, the remarkable Polish researcher and author who penned his groundbreaking first book at the astonishing age of just 17.In Déjà Vu: Has Everything Already Been?, Aleksander masterfully weaves together ancient myths — from the legendary Atlantis to parallel global flood stories — with enigmatic archaeological wonders like the pyramids and other megalithic structures that continue to baffle modern science.He boldly challenges the mainstream narrative of linear human progress, presenting compelling evidence for a cyclical view of history: advanced golden ages that rose and fell, wiped out by cataclysmic events at the end of the last Ice Age around 9,600 BCE.Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from mythology, folklore, archaeology, geology, and ancient texts, Aleksander explores provocative questions:- Were these monumental structures built using lost technologies or for purposes far beyond what conventional history admits?- Do global legends preserve real memories of a forgotten prehistoric civilization — one more sophisticated than we've been led to believe?- Is humanity caught in a profound pattern of rise, collapse, and rebirth?Prepare for a mind-expanding journey that uncovers hidden connections across continents, reinterprets the distant past, and invites you to question everything you thought you knew about human origins.Whether you're a longtime explorer of forbidden history or new to these mysteries, this episode delivers fresh perspectives, rigorous research, and that thrilling sense of déjà vu — as if we've been here before.Tune in now and discover why Aleksander's work is generating worldwide attention — and why the past may be more alive than we ever imagined!Book (US):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGN8VZ3DBook (UK):https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGN8VZ3Dhttps://www.czeszkiewiczglobal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@czeszkiewiczglobalhttps://www.facebook.com/czeszkiewiczglobalWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Jared kicks off Chit Chat Wednesday in Delray with John Gabrus, and they immediately “break up” as friends because Jared moved to Florida without telling him. They bond over midlife “why didn't I just live near a beach?” energy, then detour into comedy-world gripes, including how movies love stunt casting when there are a thousand actual funny comics available. Gabrus shares his peak midlife-crisis triumph: a solo Mexico trip for surfing and intensive Spanish classes to get off his phone and feel alive again. They then end by playing a Hillstone menu game that reveals Jared is Team Girl Lunch while Gabrus is Team Steakhouse Dad. They promise to finally hang out, which in podcast terms means it might happen sometime before the next Ice Age.Jared is on tour!
#EP327 What if we could remove a trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere for $2 billion a year?Peter Fiekowsky, author of "Climate Restoration" and founder of the Foundation for Climate Restoration, returns to The Clean Power Hour with a solution most people have never heard of: localized ocean iron fertilization. An astrophysicist and semiconductor entrepreneur by training, Peter has spent over a decade researching methods to restore atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels of 300 ppm. His work has taken him from the Vatican to the White House, and he now leads a growing movement to fund and deploy this proven natural process.KEY DISCUSSION POINTS:Why the energy transition alone will not prevent 450 ppm by 2050Localized ocean iron fertilization targets only 1% of the ocean using downwelling eddiesThe Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991 caused global CO2 to flatline for two yearsTotal cost: $1-2 billion per year (one penny per American per day)This approach removes 1,000 to 10,000 times more carbon than traditional ocean fertilization methodsRobotic ships could distribute iron pellets without crew costsThe Foundation's "million sponsor" campaign aims to demonstrate public demand for climate restorationThe wind, solar, and battery industries are doing essential work to eliminate 50 gigatons of annual emissions. That fight must continue. But stopping the bleeding is not the same as healing the wound. Peter Fiekowsky's research shows that nature has already solved this problem dozens of times through the Ice Age cycle. The question is whether humanity will choose to replicate what works. For the cost of a penny a day per American, we have the option to return atmospheric CO2 to safe levels within 25 years. The technology exists. The funding is achievable. The only missing ingredient is the collective decision to do it.Join the Movement: Be one of the million sponsors helping to restore CO2 to safe levels by 2050.

"I don't want to make a zoo. I don't to take care of those animals for eternity, I want them to live on their own and in order to have a sustainable ecosystem it's extremely important to have all niches filled in this ecosystem." In the place of the vast Siberian tundras were once great grasslands teeming with wildlife, until early humans hunted them out. In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Nikita Zimov explains how his Pleistocene rewilding project in remotest Siberia is using wild horses, muskox, yaks and even camels to restore these grasslands, which - he suggests - can go a long way towards solving the climate crisis.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

Think of the Ice Age and tales of ferocious sabre-toothed tigers and giant megafauna likely spring to mind - but what do we know about prehistoric human culture 25,000 years ago and how people survived a perilous landscape of marauding Woolly Mammoths, bitterly cold temperatures and primitive Stone Age tools? Tristan Hughes is joined by Cody Cassidy to look at how early cultures adapted to the extremes of the Last Glacial Period.

For your entertainment, and with a nod to the onset of winter, Mic, Brian, and Jeff have each watched a movie about winter survival (or not) or a post-apocalyptic Ice Age Doom. They share what the movies are about (with spoilers) and use them as springboards to some winter advice you can use now -- before any new Ice Age hits. The Movie Links: (all free on YouTube) The Colony (2013) — After some geoengineering either failed to fix, or caused a new Ice Age, survivors are holed up in scattered underground 'colonies'. When Colony 5 gets a distress call from Colony 7, the trouble turns out to be worse than anyone imagined. To Build A Fire (1969) An adaptation of Jack London's 1908 tale of a naive man in the Yukon who opts to walk to his friends' camp during -75°F cold. He eventually gets too cold to make a fire. (spoiler alert: the dog lives) Quintet (1979) Paul Neuman stars in an obscure story about a post-apocalyptic world that is slowly freezing to death. The survivors, "the city," pass the time playing a board game called Quintet. The losers are killed.

Fuji: A Mountain in the Making (Princeton UP, 2025) is A panoramic biography of Japan's iconic mountain from the Ice Age to the present Mount Fuji is everywhere recognized as a wonder of nature and enduring symbol of Japan. Yet behind the picture-postcard image is a history filled with conflict and upheaval. Violent eruptions across the centuries wrought havoc and instilled fear. Long an object of worship, Fuji has been inhabited by deities that changed radically over time. It has been both a totem of national unity and a flashpoint for economic and political disputes. And while its soaring majesty has inspired countless works of literature and art, the foot of the mountain is home to military training grounds and polluting industries. Tracing the history of Fuji from its geological origins in the remote past to its recent inscription as a World Heritage Site, Andrew Bernstein explores these and other contradictions in the story of the mountain, inviting us to reflect on the relationships we share with the nonhuman world and one another. Beautifully illustrated, Fuji presents a rich portrait of one of the world's most celebrated sites, revealing a mountain forever in the making and offering a meditation on the ability of landscape both to challenge and inspire.

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, host Carlton Shield Chief Gover is joined by Dr. Madeline Mackie, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Michigan State University, to explore the archaeology of mammoth kill sites in the Northwest Plains.Dr. Mackie walks us through what makes a site a “kill site” and how archaeologists determine whether mammoths were hunted by humans or died naturally. She shares insights into the types of tools, bone modifications, and site features that point to deliberate human activity—offering a glimpse into the complex and skilled lifeways of Paleoindigenous peoples.The discussion also highlights what these mammoth kills reveal about how early humans adapted to shifting environments at the end of the Ice Age, providing crucial context for understanding the transition into the Archaic period. Dr. Mackie closes with a call to action: the Plains needs more archaeologists dedicated to uncovering and interpreting the Archaic period—one of the most understudied and dynamic chapters of Indigenous history.Great Plains Archaeology PodcastLinks:The Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

Koalas with the bodies of lions. Elephants the size of your dog. Gigantic, 8-foot-tall sloths. These aren't creatures found in science fiction: They walked our planet a million years ago, during the Ice Age.That's the focus of the third season of the Apple TV series “Prehistoric Planet,” which uses the latest paleontology research and photorealistic CGI to reimagine the lives of ancient creatures. So far, the series has focused on dinosaurs, but now it's taking that same approach to the huge and strange-looking animals that roamed the tundras and deserts of the Ice Age.Joining Host Ira Flatow to thaw out the new research featured in the show are two of its scientific consultants, paleontologist Darren Naish and La Brea Tar Pits curator Emily Lindsey.Guests: Dr. Darren Naish is a paleozoologist and author based in Southampton, U.K.Dr. Emily Lindsey is a paleoecologist, curator, and excavation site director at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum in Los Angeles, California.

Here we are Leatherhead Nation... The show we have ALL been waiting for for YEARS! Lou and Kev have FINALLY pulled the Rabbit out of the hat and Landed the big one!! Denis Leary is a five-time loser at the Emmy Awards. He hopes to one day also lose an Oscar, a Grammy and a Tony. In his long and storied entertainment career Leary has also never won The Stanley Cup, The Nobel Peace Prize or an argument with his wife. Denis most recently starred in Amazon's OH. WHAT. FUN. alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloë Grace Moretz. Released on December 3, 2025, the film quickly hit #1 on Amazon Prime's movie chart. Leary will next be seen in season two of FOX's Going Dutch, a comedy about outspoken U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn, reassigned to command a small base in the Netherlands, premiering Thursday, January 15, 2026 on FOX. He co-created and starred in seven seasons of FX's acclaimed drama Rescue Me, as well as the FX comedy Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. His film credits include Captain George Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man and voice roles as Francis in A Bug's Life and Diego in the Ice Age franchise. Leary also founded The Leary Firefighters Foundation, which provides critical equipment, technology, and training to fire departments across the United States. Going to be another great show. We will get the whole skinny. You don't want to miss this one. Join us at the kitchen table on the BEST FIREFIGHTER PODCAST ON THE INTERNET!

The sound of a choir performing in a cathedral is iconic for a reason. It's this beautiful human experience: being side-by-side with other people, feeling the sound vibrate through you, reverberating around the space.But how long has that been a part of our culture? And what role did sound play in the lives of people who lived during the Ice Age or the Stone Age? That's the focus of a growing field of archaeology called archaeoacoustics, where researchers use the scientific tools of today to investigate the role of sound and music in the past.To learn more, Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Margarita Díaz-Andreu, principal investigator of the Art Soundscapes project, and Rupert Till, head of the department of humanities at the University of Huddersfield in the UK.Guests: Dr. Margarita Díaz-Andreu is an ICREA professor at the University of Barcelona in Spain and principal investigator of the Art Soundscapes project.

• Exploding Insects – Autothysis Some ant and termite species literally blow themselves apart to defend their colony! This requires a coordinated system of enzymes, chemistry, triggers, adhesives, and control mechanisms, making it an impossible candidate for slow evolutionary development. • Cockatoos Using Human Drinking Fountains That's right. Listen to the show for more details on an impressive display of intelligence that challenges the “bird brain” stereotype and evolutionary assumptions about primate superiority. • Archaeopteryx: Still 100% Bird New analysis of a Chicago specimen shows fully formed feathers designed for flight, filling the aerodynamic gap evolutionists long claimed made flight “impossible.” Once again, a supposed “missing link” turns out to be just another bird. • Giant Vegetables & Pre-Flood Conditions Modern giant pumpkins and zucchinis are the result of mutations in inhibitor genes, not evolution. Their existence echoes fossil evidence of enormous pre-Flood plants and animals, consistent with higher oxygen, atmospheric pressure, and longer lifespans described in Genesis. • Dinosaur Hemoglobin Found Again Yet another discovery of hemoglobin in dinosaur fossils defies deep-time claims. Even generous decay estimates allow thousands, NOT MILLIONS of years. Evolutionists scramble for new “preservation theories,” but the simplest explanation remains: the fossils are young. • Neanderthals: Masters of Fire & Food Engineering Archaeologists have uncovered Ice Age hearths exceeding 600°C, revealing airflow control, fuel optimization, and consistent temperature regulation. A separate discovery of a bone-processing workshop shows Neanderthals intentionally extracting fat-rich broth, yummy! • New Human Blood Type: Guada Negative A recently identified blood type is incompatible with all others, making transfusions impossible. • Human–Chimp DNA Myth Collapses As full genomic sequencing improves, the often-repeated “98% similarity” myth has fallen to about 85%, a vast gap representing millions of functional differences and rendering evolutionary timelines unworkable. • Animals Using Natural Medicines Chimps eat antiparasitic leaves, parrots consume detoxifying clay, elephants seek medicinal bark, and bees gather antimicrobial resins. • Biomimicry: Penguins Inspire Engineering A German auto company used AI to analyze penguin wing hydrodynamics, resulting in more efficient automotive fans. Once again, human engineering imitates God's designs. Sponsor This episode is sponsored by foam-knight.com, makers of high-quality foam swords, shields, and battle gear.

Ancient Greece was rich compared to other ancient societies, and Athens was the richest place of all within ancient Greece. But why? The answer lies not just in the silver lodes of Attica or access to the sea; it was about democracy, law, and institutions, which made people feel safe doing business in Athens.Patrick is launching a brand-new history show on December 3rd!

The Hundred Years War was the defining conflict of the Middle Ages, but today's guest - Professor Michael Livingston of the Citadel - argues that it actually lasted for 200 years. That's just one problem with the way we've learned about the Hundred Years War, and Livingston's new book, entitled Bloody Crowns: A New History of the Hundred Years War, is a fantastic corrective.Patrick is launching a brand-new history show on December 3rd!

Cosmic dust can tell scientists about how ice covered Earth during the last ice age. This dust is leftover debris from asteroids and comets colliding in space and this dust constantly rains down on our planet. Researcher Frankie Pavia from the University of Washington recently used a brand new method for estimating climate conditions 30,000 years ago, by looking at the cosmic dust amounts in ancient arctic ocean soil. He and a team found new clues to what melted arctic ice at the end of the ice age. These results may be able to better inform ice melt in the future.Interested in more space science?
