If we ever meet intelligent extraterrestrials, will we even be able to talk about physics? Physicist Daniel Whiteson of UC Irvine and cartoonist Andy Warner join Sarah Al-Ahmed to explore one of science’s strangest and most profound questions: if alien civilizations exist, would their understanding of the Universe look anything like ours? Their new book, “Do Aliens Speak Physics?”, discusses the nature of knowledge itself, asking whether math and physics are truly universal, or if even our most “objective” truths are shaped by our human perspective. Together, they consider what it would take to communicate with alien intelligence and how humor and illustration can make those big cosmic ideas feel surprisingly down-to-Earth. Then, stick around for What’s Up with Bruce Betts, as we discuss how difficult it is to explain physics to humans, let alone extraterrestrial life.

We've known intuitively for centuries that spending time in nature can give us a boost. But it's only recently that scientists have begun to identify exactly what it is about the outdoors that has such a powerful effect on our mood and our minds. This week, psychologist Marc Berman explores how spending time in nature can actually undo some of the harmful effects of our modern lives.Do you have follow-up questions, comments, or stories about nature's effect on the mind after listening to this episode?

Reader beware, you're in for a scare! If you were a kid, tween, or teen at all in the '90s, you knew Goosebumps books, and you were obsessed with those colorful and creepy covers! Mark welcomes the original Goosebumps cover illustrator Tim Jacobus on the show to talk about his career, the process of making all those iconic covers, and what cover designs are most special to him. This is Part 1 of a Goosebumps celebration, and Part 2 will focus on the premiere episodes of the Fox TV series for its 30th anniversary. Follow Tim @timjacobus on Instagram, check out his work at jacobusstudios.com, and say hi to him at future conventions, where he sells prints of his work and gives a portion of the income to help feed those who are in need.
AN ELEGY FOR THE ELITE—Michael Grynbaum is a correspondent for The New York Times, where he has covered media, politics, and culture for 18 years. He's reported on three presidential campaigns, two New York City mayors—they're always so boring—and the transformation of the media world in the Trump era. He lives in Manhattan and he's a graduate of Harvard.His first book, Empire of the Elite: Inside Condé Nast, the Media Dynasty that Reshaped America, was published by Simon & Schuster in June, 2025. In the book, Michael chronicles the origins of the company, its go-go boom days in the eighties and nineties, and its more recent post-print transformation into whatever Condé Nast is these days. We'll figure that out later.Michael's bestseller captured a lot of attention when it was published—it's a bestseller and it's the latest in the line of books by and about Condé Nast magazine makers—full of great anecdotes and good stories. The kind of stuff we love here on Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!), and it's extremely readable.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Emmanuelle Hutin a publié un premier récit remarqué, La Grenade (Stock, 2021). En parallèle de l'écriture, elle est directrice artistique indépendante et enseigne le yoga au profit d'associations caritatives. Son nouveau livre Les francs-tireuses est une fiction qui s'inspire de l'histoire vraie de deux femmes artistes qui ont résisté pendant la guerre avec des actions inédites dans l'Histoire. (Rediffusion) «Imagine-t-on pareille témérité ?», écrira Claude Cahun après la guerre. Comment croire qu'un couple de femmes artistes, bourgeoises, cinquantenaires, d'origine juive et à la santé fragile, s'élève seul contre les Allemands pendant les quatre années d'occupation de l'île de Jersey ? Claude Cahun est l'une des figures les plus singulières de l'avant-garde artistique parisienne. Avec Suzanne Malherbe, sa compagne de toujours, elle adhère et participe activement au mouvement surréaliste et révolutionnaire antifasciste. Mais c'est sur l'île de Jersey, où elles s'installent en 1938, que va se déployer leur activité militante. Convaincues que la liberté et l'amour fraternel sont des valeurs universelles, Claude et Suzanne mènent une contre-propagande poétique ; une résistance de papiers, de bouteilles vides et de milliers de tracts signés «Le soldat sans nom» pour créer l'impression d'une fronde au sein même des rangs allemands. Elles sont les francs-tireuses, usant de leurs armes spirituelles pour inciter les soldats à cesser de se battre. Les faits leur ont donné raison : Jersey a été libérée pacifiquement. Les Francs-tireuses s'appuie sur des textes dans lesquels Claude Cahun et Suzanne Malherbe ont raconté leurs années de guerre. Fidèle à leurs actions et à leurs tempéraments, Emmanuelle Hutin s'inspire librement de ces écrits pour rendre hommage au courage de ces résistantes invisibilisées par l'Histoire. (Présentation des éditions Anne Carrière). Illustration musicale : Gnossienne (1) d'Erik Satie. Pour aller plus loin, à découvrir également : À travers les destins croisés de cinq résistantes, Philippe Collin retrace le rôle crucial longtemps oublié des femmes dans la lutte intérieure et extérieure face au nazisme entre 1940 et 1944. Souvent réduites à une poignée de clichés romantiques, les femmes dans l'histoire de la Résistance française sont longtemps restées invisibles. Or, dans un pays vaincu, humilié et privé en partie de sa population masculine, emmenée en Allemagne en captivité dès l'été 1940, les femmes furent les premières à réagir et à initier un esprit d'insoumission. Parmi elles, deux figures illustres : Lucie Aubrac et Geneviève de Gaulle. Ainsi que trois femmes demeurées dans l'ombre : Mila Racine, Simonne Mathieu et Renée Davelly. Destins emblématiques ou méconnus, les trajectoires de ces cinq résistantes vont s'entremêler et se répondre : un récit choral et global qui redonne toute leur place aux femmes aux côtés des hommes. Cet ouvrage est l'adaptation illustrée d'archives inédites ou rares du podcast à succès sur France Inter suivi par plus de 2,5 millions d'auditeurs et plébiscitée par la critique.

POP GOES PRINT—“Today, creativity feels like it's being squeezed into smaller and smaller boxes. Content is designed to chase likes, rack up views, serve a clear function—a purpose….we're here—to celebrate creativity for creativity's sake, no strings attached. Analog isn't dead; it's the new rebellion.”This manifesto is a part of a striking editorial in the first issue of Playground, a new magazine created out of Singapore by Pop Mart, the maker of the Labubu. I honestly never thought I would a) write that kind of sentence in my life, and b) understand it, but here we are. It's 2025! If you're unfamiliar with PopMart you are unfamiliar with one of the largest creative companies in the world, one valued almost as much as Disney or Nintendo. Playground is an extraordinary editorial project, championed by creatives and executives in a company that claims its mission is to “light up passion” so that its brand can promote a “galaxy of creative possibilities.” Got all that? So by now you might be asking yourself a fundamental question: Why? Why this thing? And why print? Well, that same editorial anticipates this exact question:“So, why print? Because print makes you pause. You can't swipe past a paragraph in a magazine. You can't multitask while turning a page. Print demands your attention and invites you to linger, to savor, to think…So here it is: our first issue. Take your time with it. Flip through the pages, spill some coffee on it if you must. Just don't try to scroll.” Amen—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

How does one become a professional cartoonist? In this episode, I talk with New Yorker cartoonist Tom Toro, whose sharp wit clever drawings have kept readers laughing (and thinking) for more than fifteen years.Toro's debut book, And to Think We Started as a Book Club (out now from Simon & Schuster), gathers the best of his cartoons from over a decade and a half at The New Yorker. In our conversation, we dig into the realities of professional cartooning — from the weekly grind of submissions and rejection, to the balance between writing and drawing, and the creative fire that keeps artists like Tom doing it anyway.

En 50 ans, le département de l'Yonne a été secoué par une série de crimes et de disparitions qui ne doit rien au hasard. Émile Louis, Michel Fourniret, ou encore les époux Dunand et leurs séances de tortures tarifées, ces redoutables prédateurs sexuels ont prospéré sur un terreau facilitant leurs multiples passages à l'acte. Région rurale gangrénée par la misère, services sociaux défaillants, voire complices, élus locaux aveugles, justice auxerroise dysfonctionnelle… Cette concentration de facteurs a conduit à une omerta généralisée, laissant le champ libre à toutes sortes d'atrocités longtemps restées impunies pour préserver la respectabilité du département et de ses notables.

Check out my Free Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding Learn to silence your inner critic. Ignite creative ideas. And watch a live demo of these techniques in action."Artists must smash down the systems that domesticate the mind" - Moebius This is a great quote from the great Jean Giruad (aka Moebius)What else can we learn from the master?--- The artist identity trap reveals why professional artists with exceptional craft freeze on personal projects while indie creators with rougher skills confidently produce their own work. This paradox isn't about ability—it's about invisible permission systems created by artistic identity.Jean Giraud's transformation into Moebius demonstrates this profoundly. By becoming Moebius, he created psychological space to revolutionize visual storytelling, influencing Hollywood and Japanese manga for decades.Different artistic communities construct incompatible value hierarchies. Comic artists derive status from unique style. Concept artists suppress personal style for versatility and credits. Indie creators measure worth through pure expression. Moving between these paradigms feels like betraying core aspects of yourself.The freelance mindset that enables shaping others' visions conflicts with personal creation. Professional training rewires how you evaluate your own ideas, creating paralysis where skill exists but internal authorization does not. Moebius wasn't just branding—it was psychological liberation. Authors adopt pen names when switching genres. Actors use stage names separating personal from public persona. The early internet's universal alias culture created remarkable creative freedom. As professional identity became necessary for freelance careers, creative freedom potentially suffered.---00:00 - Intro01:09 - Welcome to Visual Scholar01:31 - The Journey Of Jean Giraud05:42 - The Identity Trap13:02 - Status Games25:39 - Becoming Who You NEED To Be39:59 - Analytical Takeaway42:06 - Simple Takeaway42:23 - Practical Takeaway48:14 - Philosophical Takeaway51:43 - OutroTOOLS FOR TODAY: - Identity mapping exercise - Permission system analysis - Alias brainstorming techniquesBOOKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Works of Moebius/Jean Giraud - Blueberry comic series - Early internet creative communitiesPEOPLE MENTIONED: - Jean Giraud/Moebius - Various unnamed indie and professional artists---The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

SHE LOVES HER WORK—The word ‘unicorn' gets thrown around a lot these days. But in our book, Sarah Ball is the Real Deal. The editor of WSJ. Magazine is a student of old-guard, in-the-trenches, work-on-a-story-for-years magazine making, which has earned her cred among the Jim Nelsons and David Grangers of the biz.She's also a digital native with a flare for experimentation and a new media scrappiness. Sarah spent her career bridging those divides predominantly at Vanity Fair and GQ where she helped those titles join the digital revolution—much more stylishly and convincingly than many of her competitors.Arguably more than any other editor of her generation, she brings print-era rigor, and also the romance of the whole magazine-making endeavor to digital-era reality. That's why when the Vanity Fair editor-in-chief job came open last spring, Sarah was right at the top of The Spread's list for who should get the gig.The wind blew a different way, as we all know by now, and she's happy at WSJ. But when you listen to our chat, we think you'll get why our money is on her.There's a lot of pessimism in journalism these days for good reason, but we challenge you to listen to this conversation without getting just as swept up as we did in Sarah's passion for magazines. It's almost enough to make us believe that print is not in fact dead. Not yet, at least..—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

En novembre 2002, en plein scandale des disparues de l'Yonne, une autre affaire sordide ébranle la banlieue d'Auxerre. A Venouse, petit village rural accolé à celui de Rouvray où la première victime identifiée d'Emile Louis avait été retrouvée en 1981 dans un abri à bestiaux, sévit un pédophile depuis plus de vingt ans. Jérôme Nozet accuse Michel Garnier, éleveur de cochons respecté et figure locale unanimement appréciée, de l'avoir régulièrement violé de ses 9 à ses 15 ans dans les années 80. En menant sa propre enquête, Jérôme Nozet découvre des dizaines d'autres victimes, et surtout que la propre famille de son agresseur était au courant de ses agissements.

En novembre 2002, en plein scandale des disparues de l'Yonne, une autre affaire sordide ébranle la banlieue d'Auxerre. A Venouse, petit village rural accolé à celui de Rouvray où la première victime identifiée d'Emile Louis avait été retrouvée en 1981 dans un abri à bestiaux, sévit un pédophile depuis plus de vingt ans. Jérôme Nozet accuse Michel Garnier, éleveur de cochons respecté et figure locale unanimement appréciée, de l'avoir régulièrement violé de ses 9 à ses 15 ans dans les années 80. En menant sa propre enquête, Jérôme Nozet découvre des dizaines d'autres victimes, et surtout que la propre famille de son agresseur était au courant de ses agissements.

Send us a textIn this episode the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will read a story from the Arabian Nights collection. It is entitled “Delila the Wily.” This is a long story that will be completed over the next three episodes: two for the actual story and one for our discussion of this tale. Delila is a trickster figure who brings chaos wherever she goes. But she is much more than that. Her acts of cunning cause the listener to reflect on justice, law, morality and the ability of women to be the author of their own lives. In Delila's world actions are not black or white but a multitude of shades of gray. Be ready to enter that world as you hear the story.Story: "The Wiley Dalilah and Her Daughter Zaynab," in Arabian Nights: Volume I, trans.

En mai 2008, Michel Fourniret et Monique Olivier sont condamnés à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité pour les assassinats de sept jeunes filles en Belgique et en France. Mais le couple diabolique traîne encore quelques fantômes derrière lui. Monique Olivier donne deux autres noms de victimes figurant sur la liste des disparues de l'Yonne : Marie-Angèle Domèce, une fille fragile de la D.D.A.S.S. volatilisée depuis juillet 1988, et Joanna Parrish, une jeune Anglaise dont le corps avait été repêché dans la rivière au printemps 90. Là encore, les dossiers s'étaient égarés dans les limbes de la justice auxerroise. Malgré les aveux, la nouvelle enquête prend une tournure inattendue, jouant dangereusement avec le temps qui passe. “La conspiration du silence, saison 2” est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté d'une série originale écrite et réalisée par Thierry Fournet et Vincent Hérissé, produite par Guillaume Blanc d'AMDA Production, en coproduction avec France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

We saw in the last episode, that Britain's involvement in the NATO intervention in Kosovo could be regarded as part of an ‘ethical foreign policy', since its objective, many felt, was humanitarian, though others disagreed. Another military action, to support the government of Sierra Leone against rebellion, was more clearly humanitarian rather than self-serving, and so easier still to defend on ethical grounds.All this, together with a strong economy and some reforms that were beginning to bear fruit, in the social, educational and health arenas, but Blair's Labour government in a strong position. So it called a general election in June 2001, when it would set out to do something the party had never achieved before: win a Commons majority, serve out a term in office, and then win another.And Blair pulled it off. Indeed, not only did Labour win, it took another landslide majority.Celebrations didn't last long though. Within three months of the election win, terrorists attacked the US in the atrocity we now call 9/11. An attack that serious led to a massive response, but not against the nation from which most of the terrorists and their leader, Osama bin Laden, came, which was Saudi Arabia, but against the nation that offered bin Laden refuge, Afghanistan.That rather questioned the extent to which Labour was pursuing a foreign policy that could be called ethical. However, far worse was still to come. That, though, we'll see in the next episode.Illustration: the Twin Towers ablaze on 9/11, 11 September 2001.

A NEW RECIPE FOR FOOD MAGAZINES—You may think a magazine called Famous for My Dinner Parties would be about food or entertaining—and I wouldn't blame you if you did. You wouldn't be wrong, but you also wouldn't be right.Taking its name from Robert Altman's film, 3 Women, Famous for My Dinner Parties started as a pandemic-inspired digital project among three friends (Junshen Wu, Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenheim and Yannic Moeken) in Berlin and has evolved into a proper magazine and media brand, and along the way has won an engaged and broad audience far beyond Berlin. Something that continues to surprise the founders.The magazine is slightly odd, if I'm being honest, idiosyncratic, thoroughly compelling, and undeniably beautiful. It's also almost entirely done in house, including all the design, photography and writing. And despite this, or maybe because of it, the thing works. Whether or not this method—or lack of one—is sustainable is another question.And just to be clear, there is not a single recipe in the magazine. Just a whole lot of ideas. This is a magazine then, editorially and conceptually, built around vibes. Fuel for a discussion, perhaps, at your next really great dinner party. Whether or not you aspire to any sort of fame.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

L'arrestation en Belgique de Michel Fourniret, le 26 juin 2003 après la tentative d'enlèvement d'une adolescente, a des répercussions jusque dans l'Yonne. Il plaide “l'accident”, mais sa femme, Monique Olivier, finit par livrer des noms de victimes. Parmi elles, Isabelle Laville, la lycéenne disparue depuis décembre 1987 près d'Auxerre. À l'époque, l'affaire avait fait grand bruit, mais l'enquête s'était vite enlisée sur la mauvaise piste, celle d'Émile Louis.

Sermon Summary — Joshua: Session 1 Text: Joshua 1:1–9 Theme: “Be Strong and Courageous — Stand on God's Word” Speaker: Pastor Matthew Robbins (LWWC) 1. Opening & Testimony Ministry outreach continues to grow — 92 nations now tune into the podcast, with Brazil as the leading listener. Reminder from Amos: there is “a famine in the land — not of bread or water, but of hearing the Word of the Lord.” Pastor celebrates that God always gives a platform to those who faithfully teach His Word. 2. The Call of Joshua After Moses' death, Joshua is appointed to lead Israel into the Promised Land — the end of wandering and the start of inheritance. God alone buried Moses, preserving his body for future purpose (referenced from Jude and the Mount of Transfiguration). Joshua is charged to “Arise… go over this Jordan,” marking a new beginning of courage, obedience, and leadership. 3. The Meaning of the Name Joshua (Yahashua / Yahushua) — means “Yahweh is salvation.” Same root name as Jesus (Iēsous) in Greek — both mean “the Lord saves.” Just as Joshua led Israel into the land of promise, Jesus leads believers into eternal life. The sermon explained transliteration (sound-based) versus translation (meaning-based), showing how “Joshua” and “Jesus” are connected through language and purpose. 4. God's Promise to Israel God promised Israel vast territory — from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. Today, Israel holds only a fraction of that land. Their partial obedience and sin caused loss, yet God's promises remain and will be fulfilled in His timing. Every nation is accountable to God — “The nations that forget God shall be turned into hell.” 5. God's Charge to Joshua (and to Us) Three times God says: “Be strong and of good courage.” The Hebrew meaning carries the sense of divine impartation — God depositing strength within Joshua. The same word (“Be of good cheer” — tharreo) in the New Testament shows Jesus imparting courage to His followers. Believers today receive the same spiritual strength through faith and obedience. 6. The Word as the Foundation of Success “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth… then you will make your way prosperous, and have good success.” Success, used only once in the Bible, is defined by obedience and meditation on God's Word. True prosperity is not wealth or position — it is faithfulness to Scripture. “Do not turn to the right or left” — God's Word must be the final authority in every area of life. The pastor warned against redefining morality through governments, culture, or opinion: “If the Holy Spirit lives in us, change is inevitable.” 7. Personal Testimony: Strength Through Affliction Pastor shared his open-heart surgery experience (on Yom Kippur, “Day of Deliverance”) as a turning point where God deepened his walk. Quoted Psalm 119, emphasizing how affliction can become God's classroom: “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word.” God's faithfulness in affliction brings revelation and renewal. The Word is sweeter than honey and more precious than gold — a believer's constant companion in suffering and success. 8. The Word Made Flesh Read John 1:1–14 — “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word became flesh.” Jesus is the Word — you cannot love Him and reject Scripture. “If they won't believe Moses and the prophets, they won't believe even if one rises from the dead.” To reject the Word is to reject Christ Himself. 9. The Battle of Faith When you were in sin, you weren't battling Satan — you were living with him. The real battle begins when you switch sides and live for Christ. The Christian life is warfare — but God's strength sustains His people. Illustration: a railroad worker's lantern went out though he kept swinging it — a warning that we must not let our light go out. 10. Final Call It's time to: Pray more Study the Word more Witness more “We're running out of time. Be strong and courageous. The Lord is with you wherever you go.”

THE GOOD CITIZEN—This episode is a special one for us here at Magazeum. We even gave it its own code name: “Project Rosebud” (IYKYK). But if you only know our guest as the grandson of the man who inspired the lead character in the film classic Citizen Kane and the founder of one of the largest publishing empires in the world, you are missing out. Will Hearst could have done the easy thing, but he chose not to. As the current chairman of the Hearst Corporation, Will balances stewardship of a sprawling media empire with a commitment to community and lasting value. Unlike the new breed of media moguls, his leadership is less about compliance and more about the continuing importance of fostering quality journalism rooted in place and purpose.But aside from his role as a suit at the Hearst Corporation, Will's labor of love is Alta—an indie quarterly that champions a distinct West Coast voice, providing a vital counterpoint to the East Coast lens that still dominates the national discourse.Alta is crafted to be held and savored—he thinks of its subscribers as members more than a mailing list. In an age dominated by volume, speed, and algorithms, Will Hearst would like to remind us to slow down, listen deeply, and consume wisely. In times like these, his vision seems almost Quixotic—to see media as craft, culture as inheritance, and storytelling as something lasting. Nevertheless, he continues to charge, shaping a legacy both ancient and urgently new.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

The trio dives into key operational challenges and introduces the Resilient Camp Blueprint, a new framework designed to help directors maintain focus, manage burnout, and improve systems with simple, daily changes.Gabz reflects on her recent transition out of a full-time camp role and shares insights from her time at Camp Ouareau, while Travis and Beth highlight the growing complexity of leadership development and the urgent need for intentional support in the industry. The team discusses Gen Z staff dynamics, emphasizing the shift away from traditional evaluations and toward collaborative feedback.The episode introduces essential tools for efficient camp management, including the PATH framework (Protect, Amplify, Trim, Humanize) and a compass rose that centers camp operations on four foundational P's: People, Place, Programs, and Protection. These concepts encourage directors to streamline processes while staying true to their camp's mission and values. Addressing director burnout, Travis shares how the Resilient Camp Blueprint was inspired by conversations with leaders post-COVID, where the need for rest, creativity, and sustainable practices became clear. The group discusses strategies for cultural stability, staff retention, and embracing "2-second lean" changes that compound over time to create lasting impact.Illustration of the PATH Framework and the four P'sWe hope you love this episode of Camp Code!

Is someone acting out because they need reassurance or confidence? That's self-esteem. Are drop-off, cleanup, or bag-packing always a mess? That's systems. Do certain people feel unseen or unheard because of bias or unspoken dynamics? That's structures of power. When you start looking through this lens, you'll notice almost every challenge falls into one—or sometimes two—of these categories, and the path forward becomes clearer.-Special Guest: Travis Allison , Co-Founder GoCamp.Pro - A call to action to fill our your own free Resilient Camp Blueprint Diagnostic awaits!

Liana Finck is a cartoonist and an illustrator who has contributed to The New Yorker since 2015. She is the author of several books, including the graphic memoir “Passing for Human.” Like many of her forebears at the magazine, Finck has also published works for children, and her recent book, “Mixed Feelings,” explores the ways that emotions are often confusing—a truth for readers of any age. “Kids' books were my first experience of art. They're really why I do what I do,” she tells David Remnick. Finck discusses her time interning for Maira Kalman, and she shares three “deep cuts” from writers associated with The New Yorker: Kalman's own “What Pete Ate from A to Z”; William Steig's “C D B!”; and “Tell Me a Mitzi,” by Lore Segal, with illustrations by Harriet Pincus.
