Podcasts about Antarctica

If you explore the empty ice fields of Antarctica, you can discover over 80 research stations scattered across the continent. These bases are completely isolated, miles from civilisation, and because so many early expeditions to the arctic ended in tragedy, a lot of these stations are abandoned and quite literally frozen in time. But are these research bases REALLY empty? Are the ice sheets of Antarctica hiding a terrible paranormal secret?

Occultism was prominent in the highest echelon of the Third Reich, and mysterious figures from the shadows played outsized roles in the future of Germany. Upper management within the Nazi S.S. was reserved for those enlightened in the dark arts, with Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky heavily influencing those in positions of great power. Expeditions were launched globally to explore places under Antarctica, mysterious locations in the Andes of Peru, and the entrance to the hidden kingdom of Shambala inside the hollow Earth in Tibet, all searching for confirmation of their superiority through the collection of ancient artifacts. What did they find in these magical places, and did the Nazis really lose the war?Guest: Matt Ehret | https://substack.com/@matthewehret---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

Researchers at this camp overlooking Greenland's Helheim Glacier have some bad news.俯瞰格陵兰赫尔海姆冰川的营地研究人员带来了一些坏消息。This glacier has retreated more than 10 kilometers or so in the last decade or so, from that position far off and to my left to where you see it today.这条冰川在过去十多年间已退缩了10公里左右，从我左侧远处的位置退到了如今你们所见的地方。It was here in 2018 that researchers captured this footage of large chunks of ice breaking away in a process called calving.2018年，研究人员正是在这里拍摄到了大块冰体断裂脱落的画面，这一过程被称为裂冰作用。Scientists like New York University's David Holland measured and observed climate change. This summer Holland saw record-shattering heat and ice melt.纽约大学的戴维·霍兰德等科学家对气候变化进行了测量和观察。今年夏天霍兰德目睹了破纪录的高温和冰层融化现象。Large glaciers are retreating. We can detect this with satellite, with effectively cameras in space.大型冰川正在消退，我们可以通过卫星，也就是太空中的高效摄像头，观测到这一现象。And we're seeing a very large signal of melt coming from this one particular glacier out in West Antarctica called Thwaites.我们正观测到来自南极洲西部斯维斯冰川发出的非常强烈的融化信号。NASA and the European Space Agency or ESA released the study in December美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和欧洲航天局（ESA）于12月发布了这项研究，showing the Greenland icesheetrapidly melting, having lost nearly four trillion metric tons between 1992 and 2018.研究显示格陵兰冰盖正在迅速融化，在1992年至2018年期间已损失了近4万亿公吨。Holland says a similar fate appears underway in Antarctica.霍兰德说南极洲也出现了类似的情况。That glacier is holding back several other glaciers of the West Antarctic IceSheet.那座冰川阻挡着南极西部冰盖的其他几座冰川。So all told, it is conceivable and not that it will happen but it could happen, that up to 3 meters of global sea level could be unleashed unto us.综上所述，可以想象——虽然并非必然发生但确实存在可能性——全球海平面上升幅度可能高达3米。Cities like Alexandria, Egypt take countermeasures to slow crashing waves because of rising sea levels near ice shelves affect sea levels everywhere.由于冰架附近海平面上升会影响全球海平面，埃及亚历山大等城市采取应对措施以减缓海浪冲击。Warmer waters around retreating glaciers like the one in Antarctica expedite the process.南极洲等地冰川消退，周围水域温度上升，进而加速了这一过程。This glacier is perhaps unstable. It is certainly retreating now at a rapid rate.这座冰川或许不稳定。它现在确实在快速消退。It has raised its stuff to the point of now using physics, mathematics and observation.它已将研究提升至运用物理学、数学和观测的层面。It's actually credible, plausible that this thing could cause a major change in sea level.实际上可信的是，这可能导致海平面发生重大变化。A study published April in the journal Nature showed glaciers worldwide annually lose 369 billion metric tons of snow and ice.《自然》杂志四月发表的一项研究显示，全球冰川每年流失3690亿吨冰雪。The Greenland icesheetalone holds enough water to raise sea level by nearly seven and a half meters. 仅格陵兰冰盖所含的水量就足以使海平面上升近7.5米。

Have you heard of Nostoc? It's scientific name, Nostoc commune, sounds like a chat between Trump and Putin but it's actually a living organism that troubles more than a few Kiwis on their quarter acre paradise. Brown-green “gorilla snot” is another name, star jelly, witch's butter, and mare's eggs... But most folk call it brown, slimy scum. It's a colony of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that form dense gelatinous mats of slimy and leathery bits and pieces on driveways, gravel, and bare soil. It is usually terrestrial but can also be aquatic (such as in wet paddy fields). The trouble with this stuff is its persistence and difficulty to control. It reproduces by binary fission, meaning each cell simply splits in two when conditions are suitable. Gardeners often complain that it thrives on Roundup weedkiller, and most other weedkillers for that matter (I doubt that, by the way!!). Chlorine and salt don't work, and bleach simply runs off the rubbery squishy invader. Copper sulphate and sodium hypochloride are also ineffective. On the various online “help me” websites (hilarious to read, by the way) people state that some Benzalkonium chloride (a quaternary ammonium compound often used as an algaecide) may be the answer. Why is it so difficult? Nostoc occurs anywhere from the tropics to the dry valleys in Antarctica – an impressive range of climatological conditions. In summer it dries out to a crispy, brown material, while in winter it's lush, soft, and spongy, and blueish green or olive green. It's particularly good at coping with water stress. A colleague once did some experiments showing that it could lose more than 70% of its weight in water before cell metabolism was affected – hence its success on driveway shingles. It grows on alkaline soils in the tropics and doesn't care about brackish water either. It's resistant to heat as well as continuous freezing/thawing cycles and it produces no oxygen when it's dormant. Despite the fact it hasn't got Chloroplasts, it can fix Nitrogen from the atmosphere. Nostoc is eaten in Asia, but it's not recommended (there have been some suggestions of toxicity). Having said that, some varieties (such as Nostoc commune var. sphaeroides) may be beneficial by means of an anti-inflammatory mechanism. So… how do we control it on our driveways? Good question!

The story I'm bringing you today is one that you've probably never heard of before. Because, for one, it involves a continent that very few people have been on: Antarctica; and secondly, it involves a concept that very few people are familiar with: gravity holes. And right off the bat, I'll mention that it's not science fiction, nor is it a conspiracy theory. Gravity holes really do exist. The earth's outer layers have different densities in different places (because the distribution of mass beneath the crust and the mantle isn't consistent)—the effect of gravity is not perfectly uniform across the whole planet. It's weaker in places that are less dense. In those places, you get what are known as gravity anomalies, where the gravitational pull is measurably weaker than the global average. Colloquially, these are known as gravity holes. These gravity holes can affect a person's weight (you would weigh a little bit less if you were standing in one of these regions)—and also, they can affect sea levels (weaker gravity means that the ocean surface sits a little bit lower in those places). Interestingly, the largest gravity hole on the planet happens to be located beneath the most sparsely populated continent on the planet: Antarctica. Just earlier this year, a new study was published that worked to map out not only the mantle layer of the Earth beneath Antarctica, but also the 70-million-year-long process in which it was formed. Let's go through it together.

Today's Cruise News covers three stories shaping where cruisers can go and how they get there. Egypt and Turkey denied port calls to Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady during a 10-night Atlantis Events charter, prompting a revised Eastern Mediterranean itinerary for roughly 1,900 guests. The U.S. Department of State kept Turks and Caicos at a Level 2 advisory, urging increased caution at the busy Grand Turk cruise port over crime, vendor scams, and strict firearms laws that have led to tourist prosecutions over stray ammunition. And Atlas Ocean Voyages added six fly-cruise departures for the 2027-28 Antarctica season, letting travelers trade the roughly two-day Drake Passage crossing for a two-hour charter flight from Punta Arenas, Chile to King George Island.

Gregory Copley highlights Australia's declining regional power as Indonesia and India rise strategically. China'smissile tests and interest in Antarctica further destabilize the South Pacific. As the Antarctic Treaty ends, a scramble for the world's largest oil deposits appears imminent. (111930

CLiz Peek discusses the strong American economy, noting that small businesses feel relief as tariff threats abate and inflation falls. Lower energy and gasoline prices have cheered investors. Anecdotal evidence from local bookstores and ice cream parlors reinforces a positive outlook for consumer sentiment. (1)Liz Peek highlights the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America as a significant threat to established Democraticincumbents. Young voters are flocking to radical platforms promising free services. Rahm Emanuel emerges as a blunt voice for the party, urging a challenge against these "loons." (2)Jonathan Schanzer reports on the restart of hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil prices have hit $87 per barrel. The US is conducting air strikes against Iranian naval assets and drone bases. Schanzer questions why these strategic targets were not hit earlier in the conflict. (3)Jonathan Schanzer explores the Houthi threat in North Yemen and the potential for a wider regional conflict. While the US keeps Israel on the sidelines to avoid escalation, Turkey's "neo-Ottoman" ambitions are rising. Schanzer warns that Turkey seeks to fill the power vacuum left by Iran. (4)Mary Kissel analyzes the failure of the Iran ceasefire, noting that Iran calculated the US lacks the will for ground intervention. The conflict centers on Iran's suspect nuclear program, with potential new targets at Pickaxe Mountain. Public engagement remains low despite rising energy costs. (5)Mary Kissel discusses NATO's decision to reinforce Ukraine with advanced drone technology and Patriot missile manufacturing. Ukraine is hailed as the "future of warfare," transitioning from a security consumer to a security contributor. Kissel emphasizes the need for the US to counter Russian propaganda. (6)Joseph Sternberg examines Germany's economic struggles under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, including a shift toward deregulation and infrastructure borrowing. Massive layoffs at Volkswagen signal the end of traditional "lifetime employment." Merz faces political challenges from Social Democrats who resist aggressive free-market changes. (7)Joseph Sternberg addresses the assassination of former MP Ann Widdecombe, which is being investigated as a possible act of political violence. Sternberg notes that existential political rhetoric on social media often inspires such attacks. These tensions reflect broader global concerns regarding political polarization. (8)Gregory Copley critiques the stalemate in the Persian Gulf, suggesting that US air strikes alone cannot win without a plan for regime change. He advocates for supporting the domestic Iranian population against the clerical leadership. Turkey's opposition to empowering Kurdish forces remains a significant complication. (9)Gregory Copley discusses the inevitability of Ukraine's path to NATO, a move he views as a provocation to Russia. He argues the war preserves President Zelensky's power without a democratic mandate. However, he acknowledges Ukraine's technological ingenuity in developing swarming drone capabilities for modern combat. (10)Gregory Copley highlights Australia's declining regional power as Indonesia and India rise strategically. China'smissile tests and interest in Antarctica further destabilize the South Pacific. As the Antarctic Treaty ends, a scramble for the world's largest oil deposits appears imminent. (11)Gregory Copley details King Charles III's visit to the Isle of Man, the world's oldest continuous parliament. The King also held a private, discreet meeting with Prince Harry. Meanwhile, the UK faces rising anxiety over security for political leaders following the assassination of Ann Widdecombe. (12)Jeff McCausland discusses the closing of the Strait of Hormuz due to Iranian threats from land-based missiles and drones. President Trump faces a dilemma: muddle through, escalate with ground forces, or withdraw. McCausland warns that seizing territory like Kharg Island would result in significant casualties. (13)Jeff McCausland notes that Europe now views Ukraine as a security contributor due to its mastery of drone and robotic warfare. While Putin considers escalation or mobilization, Chinese pressure likely prevents the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The US continues to communicate "serious consequences." (14)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa condemn Gustavo Petro's refusal to recognize election results in Colombia. They criticize Brazil's President Lula for his silence on criminal leftist regimes. The "Shield of the Americas" alliance is emerging to defend regional democracy and fight corruption. (15)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa report that 60,000 people are missing in Venezuela following catastrophic earthquakes and government neglect. They propose an emergency temporary government to replace the Rodriguezsiblings. Brazil hosts 700,000 refugees fleeing the "gangland" regime's destruction. (16)All 16 segments formatted, tail numbers (1)–(16). Name check clean: Liz Peek, Peña Esclusa, Araújo with the accent, Ann Widdecombe all correct.

After rounding up the day's top news stories, Richie is joined by Dani Henderson. She is an author, podcaster and conference organiser who has become a well-known figure in UFO and disclosure circles. She founded the Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection, or GSIC, which stages large conferences bringing together researchers, experiencers, whistle-blowers and speakers on topics ranging from UFOs and extra-terrestrial life to consciousness, spirituality and hidden history. On today's show Dani discusses her own encounters with visitors which date back to her early childhood, why governments are terrified of disclosure, what's being hidden in Antarctica, a potential fake alien invasion and much more.

UFO disclosure appears to be moving faster than ever.In this Midweek Review, Dr. Michael Salla examines the latest Department of War UFO file release, reports of hidden bases beneath Antarctica, and new evidence connected to the mysterious Green Mountain underground facility.He also looks at a proposed defense amendment that could give Israel access to classified ancient technologies, NASA's unexplained UFO images, warnings about particle accelerators affecting timelines, and why Dr. Phil may have been given early access to government UAP files.Then there is Elon Musk's call for “extreme urgency.” Is he simply concerned about humanity becoming interplanetary, or has he been briefed about something approaching?The public conversation is changing. But are we being prepared for real disclosure, or only being shown carefully selected pieces of a much larger story?Topics: How do giant particle accelerators impact planetary timelines? https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2074869603390370077 What does proposed amendment to the 2027 NDAA to integrate the Israeli and US defense establishments mean for control over ancient ET technology? https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075168451866284398NASA has found UFO images in its vaults that are unexplained and so they are going to release them so the public can figure them out. https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075395379743346911 Large Hadron Collider closure coincides with Ancient Particle Accelerators and Nordic ET warnings https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075537143238123660 4th tranche of UFO files released on July 10 Dept of War website https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075769747111616573A May 22, 1957, newspaper report in the Huntsville Times describing the planned construction of a "Junior Pentagon" at Green Mountain, Alabama, https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075909915822940180 Michael from Conflict Radio describes a Stargate beneath Green Mountain, Alabama, explaining that it exists as a chamber used to transfer consciousness. https://x.com/MichaelSalla/status/2075951379588239806 Incredible new crop circle.

What Does a Cruise Day Actually Look Like? Before diving into who cruising is for, Ryan and Julie walk through what a cruise experience actually looks like — from boarding day and the muster drill to the flexibility of breakfast options, onboard activities, port days, and evening entertainment. The big takeaway: you can be as busy or as relaxed as you want. Nobody is herding you anywhere.Who Is a Cruise Right For? Ryan and Julie run through the traveler types that tend to thrive on a cruise:Those who want to explore multiple destinations without unpacking multiple timesGuests who enjoy being around people — or want the option to make new friendsActivity lovers AND those who just want to find a quiet corner with a good bookTravelers who don't love flying and can drive to a port or take a transatlantic sailingAnyone looking for a short getaway with strong valueGuests who enjoy a casino on board (and plenty of lines that don't have one, too)Families with kids who need built-in entertainment optionsMulti-generational groups where everyone needs something different — and a dinner table to come back toWhat If Cruising Still Doesn't Sound Like You? Ryan walks through alternatives worth considering: small ship and river cruises (as few as 200 guests, exceptional service), American Cruise Lines for domestic itineraries, expedition cruises to places like Antarctica or the Galápagos, and private or semi-private yacht experiences. There's more variety in cruising than most people realize.A Few Things to Know Before You Book Prepaid gratuities and travel protection are typically added before you sail. Itineraries can shift and excursions can be canceled — a little flexibility goes a long way. And the more you share with your travel advisor, the easier it is to match you with the right ship, line, and timing.Where in the World?  Julie spotlights three families currently at Walt Disney World — including one whose trip had to be shifted last-minute when their two-year-old got sick (Disney and the Wonder and Beyond team made it happen), and another who just sent back glowing feedback that early entry and Lightning Lanes were absolutely worth it.Ryan's Upcoming Adventure Ryan is days away from a trip combining Las Vegas, a VIP Hoover Dam tour, a three-day Mighty 5 National Parks tour, and a two-day train journey from Moab to Denver with Canyon Spirit. Expect at least one — probably two — future episodes on this one.Next week: the hosts tackle the burning questions they get most often as travel advisors. Ready to plan your trip?

Andy is joined by Pavel from Psicoactivo Podcast to discuss claims that the US government successfully lured or baited UAP during a classified operation.They examine what the recently released files actually establish, whether officials have developed methods for attracting mysterious orbs, and what may still be hidden from the public.Also discussed: Matthew Brown's argument for conditional amnesty within the alleged Legacy Program, the crimes he says must not be ignored, Ross Coulthart's comments about unreleased images of possible structures on the Moon, alleged secret American bases in Antarctica, and questions surrounding Chris Mellon and those with potential knowledge of the Legacy Program.Check out Pavel's show - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=psicoactivo+podcast

What happens to intimacy, nostalgia, and creative power when a world-class filmmaker decides to step away from the camera and help reimagine their masterpiece for the live stage?  In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Ritesh Batra. Celebrated globally for his masterpiece debut feature film, The Lunchbox, Ritesh has spent the last decade crafting incredibly delicate, human-centered stories. Now, he has brought that same quiet magic to the theater stage, serving as the book writer and co-lyricist for the highly successful musical adaptation of The Lunchbox.Ritesh shares unique process of rewriting a beloved indie film for a live theatrical medium. He shares why he deliberately avoided rewatching his own movie to allow a fresh, organic confluence of creative energy to take over with his collaborators. He also shares his personal philosophy on "artistic fingerprints"—explaining why true success in any creative field requires leaving your own distinct, irreplaceable mark rather than chasing past commercial formulas or letting executive gatekeepers dictate the narrative.  Ritesh shares insights on:• Nostalgia & Friction: Why he prefers focusing his storytelling on the compelling friction of characters "left behind" by rapid societal changes rather than those keeping up with them.  • Stage vs. Screen Intimacy: How the live stage provides a unique canvas to showcase unspoken connection and stillness in ways the cinema camera cannot.  • The Fingerprint Philosophy: Why elite artists must own their distinct perspective, and how to protect your creative power in a system obsessed with past commercial formulas.  • Songs Hidden in the Seams: The organic process of discovering musical numbers hidden in the quiet, empty spaces between film scenes.  • Overcoming the Fear of Collapse: Navigating the intense vulnerability of a production's first week and learning to trust your internal compass.  Whether you're a filmmaker, a theater lover, a creative professional navigating a highly public career, or someone looking to practice deeper mindfulness and trust in your everyday life, Ritesh's thoughts on artistic conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.  If you enjoyed this, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to realize and transform their own vision! --------------------------Chapters-00:00 Introductions02:40 Nostalgia, Change, and Telling Stories of Those Left Behind05:41 Translating the Intimacy of The Lunchbox to the Stage08:04 An Organic Transformation: Working with the Lazours10:09 Finding Songs in Between the Seams of the Story11:43 The Writer's Medium: Curating the Confluence of Creative Energy14:35 Discovering New Skills and Instincts in Musical Theater16:32 Sponsor Breaks - TRAVELOPOD and LOTUS LANE COFFEE17:31 Managing a Public Career: Owning Successes and Failures21:14 Leaving Your Fingerprints Over Everything You Create25:10 Wielding Artistic Power and Collaborating with Actors27:56 Thriving on the Unknown: Ritesh's Operating Mantra29:55 Lessons from Parenting and the Cost of Creative Focus31:42 Quick Hitters: Greatest Fears, Mingling, and Hamnet33:07 Cultivating Trust in Yourself and the Unseen End Goal35:18 Conclusions & Shoutouts#RiteshBatra #TheLunchbox #IndieFilmmaking #SouthAsianRepresentation #Storytelling #TrustMeIKnowWhatImDoingShoutouts:✉️ Mitra Kalita for making this incredible connection happen!

Devil's urine. That's what Dupont employees called PFAS. These toxic, human made forever chemicals are now in the blood of almost every human on the planet. They are found in drinking water around the world, even Antarctica. And they are used in a broad range of consumer products, like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant clothing, waterproof items, dental floss, and even medical masks. These are only a few examples of many. This group of toxic chemicals, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), permanently concentrates in your body and the environment. You can't get rid of them. In fact, they bioaccumulate, meaning they get worse and worse. The public awareness from uncovering of the truth behind Dupont's misdeeds now contaminating much of the planet is tantamount to this generation's Silent Spring. Our guest Rob Bilott, is very much a Rachel Carson sort of figure who has stood up to the chemical industry as the lead attorney to bring light to the dangers of PFAS and its many variations. He fought and won a 20+ year battle against Dupont for the poisoning of over 70,000 people in West Virginia and Ohio. His work was even captured in the 2019 feature film, Dark Waters where he was portrayed by Mark Ruffalo. Rob has continued his groundbreaking work and is looking at the potential of a nationwide class action lawsuit as newer versions of PFAS emerge, unregulated and as dangerous as ever. In this interview from Summer 2022, we explore the history of PFAS, what exposure means, where it can be found, and what we can do. We also give an update from the actions of Trump's EPA to nbroaden use and exposure of these chemicals. More Info on the PFAS Presidency from Common Dreams: https://www.commondreams.org/news/pfas-pesticides-approval-epa Rob Bilott is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP [https://www.taftlaw.com/people/robert-a-bilott], where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Groups for over 31 years. During that time, Rob has handled and led some of the most novel and complex cases in the country involving damage from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), including the first individual, class action, mass tort, and multi-district litigation proceedings concerning the toxic chemical, recovering over $1 billion for impacted clients.

From the Plumage Wars to the Climate Crisis Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the WorldThe 19th-century plumage industry nearly drove the snowy egret to extinction to satisfy the fashion for feathered hats. The murder of warden Guy Bradley by poachers in Florida sparked international outrage, leading women to found conservation powerhouses like the Audubon Society and the RSPB. Today, the threat has shifted from direct hunting to the climate crisis. Moss notes that the emperor penguin faces 98% extinction by 2100 due to melting sea ice in Antarctica. These birds serve as "miners' canaries," signaling deeper environmental instability as migratory birds return to find their insect food sources have already peaked. Despite "apocalypse fatigue," Moss remains an optimist, believing that recognizing how our interference with birds "bites us back" is the first step toward a global realization that saving wildlife is ultimately about saving ourselves.

Yes, this is a NEW episode! Thanks to Eesa, Grace, and Viki for their suggestions this week. (Actual episode starts at 3 minutes 28 seconds.) Find the Backerkit campaign here!

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Oh, hi! This is a brand new episode, earlier than I expected! I noticed recently that one of the Patreon episodes I'd scheduled for September is one that I'd already run in the main feed a few years ago. I decided to just make a new episode for this week and move the episode that would have run this week to that September slot, because I have an announcement! For our five-year anniversary I published the book Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie: Lesser-Known Mystery Animals from Around the World, with a lot of the entries taken from episodes but also some new topics added. I always intended to do a follow-up for our ten-year anniversary, and have even done a lot of work on it. It's called Small Mysteries, focusing on smaller mystery animals that don't get a lot of attention. It's about half the length of Beyond Bigfoot, all or almost all chapters taken from the podcast. But at this point, I don't think I have time to finish it. I'm staying very busy and happy, with a part-time job taking care of people's pets while they're on vacation, and I'm also writing fiction again. But since that book is half-done, and a lot of people might want a copy even if I don't add much more to it, I'm going to make it available as an ebook only. Do you remember last time I made a crowdfunding campaign, and the people who backed the campaign got a copy of the book as soon as it was published? I'm doing that again, but NOT for Small Mysteries. It's for a different book, called The Moonhound, a cozy fantasy set in an alternate reality Smoky Mountains. The main character is a rabbit who moves to the mountains and meets a possum, and they have adventures. Even if this doesn't interest you, there's a $1 backer tier and if you click that, you have the option to add the Small Mysteries ebook for $2. That means the book is $3. Does that make sense? I feel like it's confusing. The campaign starts on July 15, 2026 and runs through August 15, 2026. If you're listening to the episode before July 15, 2026, you can click through the link in the show notes and follow the campaign, so that you get an email when it goes live. If it's between July 15 and August 15, 2026, click the link in the show notes and there's the campaign! If it's after August 15, 2026, see if there's a link in the show notes that will take you to a place where you can buy the ebook. Okay, that took way too long, so let's get to this week's episode! We have some suggestions that have come in recently, so we'll cover a few of those animals, and we'll finish up with a small fossil mystery in honor of the book. Thanks to Eesa, Grace, and Viki for their suggestions! A quick shout-out to Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions too. I'll get to those in the 500th episode that will run at the end of August. We'll start with Viki's suggestion, the hognose snake. The name hognose is used for various species of snake, most of them in North and South America, but some in Madagascar. It's a common snake in many parts of North America, so since we talked about the eastern hognose back in episode 81, let's talk about the southern hognose in this episode. It's found along the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, including parts of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida, and because it has a restricted range where people like to live too, it's vulnerable to habitat loss. It used to live in other states too but its range has shrunk considerably since it was first described in 1766. The southern hognose grows about two feet long, or 61 cm, and like other hognose snakes, its nose turns up like a little pig's snout. The shape of its nose actually may help it dig into leaf litter and dirt to hide. Some individuals are brown or gray, some are red or yellowish. It has darker blotches on its upper side and adults have white bellies. It has a big head that makes some people believe it's venomous, but it's actually harmless to humans and most animals. The only animals that really need to worry about the hognose are amphibians, like toads, frogs, and salamanders, although it will also eat lizards, small mammals like mice, and even large insects. It especially likes to eat toads, and while some toads are toxic, the hognose snake is resistant to toad toxins. A toad will frequently puff itself up to make it appear larger and make it hard for a snake to swallow, but the hognose has a solution for that too. It has big teeth at the rear of its upper jaws, like fangs in the back of its mouth. It uses those teeth to puncture puffed-up toads so they deflate, just like a horrible balloon. But the most memorable thing about the hognose is what it does when it feels threatened. Phase one is aggression. The snake will flatten its neck to look more threatening, raise its head like a cobra, and hiss and strike—but without biting. It's just trying to scare you away. If that doesn't work, the snake puts phase two into effect. It will flop down and roll onto its back like it's dead, its tongue hanging out of its mouth. It even emits a foul musky smell from its cloaca. If you call its bluff and roll drama queen snake onto its belly, it will turn onto its back again, because it's really insistent that it's dead. Since we've already scared away a lot of people who don't like snakes, let's learn about a spider next. Grace suggested we talk about the wolf spider, and also wonders if wolf spiders live in northern California. Wolf spiders are common throughout the world, and while they look scary, they bite people very rarely and their venom is weak, no worse than a bee sting. The wolf spider with the biggest legspan is Hogna ingens, with a legspan less than 5 inches across, or 12 cm. It lives on one island in the Maderia archipelago, and is a beautiful soft gray with white stripes on the legs. The Carolina wolf spider is the most common one found in North America. A big female can have a legspan of four inches, or 10 cm, but its body is not much more than an inch long, or 35 mm, and the spider actually weighs less than an ounce. That's barely 28 grams, or just a little heavier than five sheets of printer paper. The wolf spider is a hunting spider, mostly solitary, and most species don't spin webs. When a female lays her eggs, she attaches the egg case to the underside of her abdomen so she can take them with her while she hunts insects. When the eggs hatch, the teensy babies ride around on the top of her abdomen for a few weeks until they're big enough to not need their mother's protection. Some species of wolf spider will dig a burrow to rest in, and will jump out and grab any insect that happens by, while other species of wolf spider rest in rock crevices and other small spaces. Males are smaller than females and often have flashier patterns. The Carolina wolf spider is mainly gray or brown with darker and lighter longitudinal stripes down the head and body. Most species of wolf spider won't come into your house, but if you do have a wolf spider in your house, you should actually consider yourself lucky. They love to eat cockroaches and ants, which are house pests. The wolf spider hunts mostly by sight and has good vision, and its eyes will even demonstrate eyeshine of various colors, depending on species, if you shine a flashlight around in the dark. Maybe don't do that if you're afraid of spiders. And yes, there are wolf spiders in northern California, because there are wolf spiders in just about every part of the world except for Antarctica! Northern California actually has at least six species of wolf spider. One species does actually build a web, and there's even a species that lives on the beach. That's the beach wolf spider, which is a pale sandy color with darker and lighter stripes to help it blend in with sand and pebbles. It's quite small but it moves really fast, and it's mostly nocturnal. It lives not just in northern California but throughout beaches in North and Central America. Next, Eesa sent a list of suggested animals, including oviraptor. I could have sworn we already covered oviraptor, but we haven't! It's a really interesting dinosaur, so let's take a look now. Oviraptor is a name that means “egg thief,” and it got this name because it was found near fossilized eggs. It lived in what is now Asia about 75 million years ago, and the first specimen was found in Mongolia (still my favorite country) back in 1923. The partial specimen was found lying across a nest of dinosaur eggs. When the dinosaur was described in 1924, it was given the name egg thief because the paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn assumed it died while robbing a nest to eat the eggs. But even Osborn wrote that he might be wrong about the dinosaur, and in the 1990s new discoveries of oviraptor nesting sites proved this was the case. Oviraptor wasn't stealing eggs, it was protecting them, because they were its own eggs. It probably actually ate fruit, seeds, and other plant material, along with small animals like lizards. Oviraptor was a small dinosaur that was a little more than six feet long, or about 2 meters, and was the height of a medium to large dog. It walked on its hind legs. It had feathers on its arms and tail, and probably also had feathers over much of its body. It didn't have teeth but it did have a beak that would have probablylooked a lot like a parrot's beak. Its arms had three small claws but probably looked a lot like a wing in many ways, although scientists don't think oviraptor could fly. In other words, oviraptor probably looked a lot like a big, weird chicken, and like a chicken and many other birds, scientists think it sat on its eggs to keep them warm. When a bird incubates its eggs, it's not like you dropping down to sit on a chair. The bird's feet are typically on either side of the eggs, and the bird squats down carefully so that its underside makes gentle contact with the eggs without crushing them. Female chickens and many other birds have a spot on the lower breast that doesn't have any feathers, called a brood patch, which contains extra blood vessels just under the skin. This helps keep the eggs warm and is a soft part of the hen's body, which helps cushion the eggs. We don't know, but it's possible oviraptor had something similar to a brood patch, and its feathered arms and tail also helped protect the eggs from cold air and rain. We now have numerous specimens that died while sitting on nests, probably buried in sandstorms, so we know that oviraptor basically brooded its nest the way modern birds do. Finally, let's finish with our small mystery fossil. It's called Esconichthys apopyris and it lived about 308 million years ago in what is now the state of Illinois in North America. 308 million years ago, Illinois was a tropical area and partly covered by a warm, shallow sea. In a particular place known as the Mazon Creek formation, for a few million years conditions were just right to preserve dead animals and plants in astounding detail. A river carried dead plant materials and mud into an estuary along the ocean's edge, where it sank and settled to the bottom of the sea floor. When an animal died, if it wasn't eaten by something else, its body sank into this soft muddy mess. The bacteria in the mud produced carbon dioxide that combined with iron also present in the mud, which formed a mineral called siderite. This mineral encased the dead animal and slowed decay long enough for a detailed impression of the body to form in the mud. As the centuries passed and the mud became stone, the fossilized body impression was surrounded by a protective ironstone nodule. That's why we know about the soft-bodied animals from the area, even though soft-bodied animals rarely leave fossil evidence. Mazon Creek is where the Tully monster lived, which we talked about in episode 339, but the Tully monster isn't the only mystery animal discovered there. Another one was Esconichthys. We have lots of Esconichthys fossils, partly because it seems to have been extremely common, but also because it was a vertebrate. That means it had a notochord, a type of backbone. Most of the fossils we have are body impressions, so we do know a lot about what Esconichthys looked like when it was alive. What we don't know is what it actually was. Esconichthys was named for the Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois, ESCONI, and the latter half of its name means fish. But it doesn't actually seem to have been a fish, even a larval fish. It grew up to about 3 inches long, or 8 cm, and had a pair of very obvious eyes, two pairs of feathery external gills, and a single fin on the underside of its tail. It didn't have legs or any other fins. Some individuals had wide-set eyes, others had eyes that are close together, which may indicate two separate species, but we don't know. Esconichthys fossils are sometimes referred to as ghosts, because the limbless body with two dots for eyes does kind of look like a cartoon ghost. Other people call Esconichthys fossils grasshoppers or blades. This is because the animal's gills were quite long and are often preserved pointing away from the rest of the body, or sometimes the rear of the body is folded upward. This can make it look roughly like a grasshopper or a pocket knife with one blade unfolded. Esconichthys has been proposed as a larval lungfish or a larval amphibian, but it doesn't really match either animal group. It's the most common fossil found at the Mazon Creek formation by far, preserved in amazing detail, but scientists still have no idea what it is or what it might be related to.

It's hard to think of anything good coming from earthquakes. But for life in part of the Southern Ocean, they could be crucial. A recent study found that underwater quakes could intensify “blooms” of phytoplankton. These tiny plant-like organisms form the base of the marine food web. They also absorb carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen. So anything that bumps up their numbers a bit is good for life in the Southern Ocean and around the planet. Every spring and summer, a big bloom develops between Antarctica and New Zealand and Australia. But three decades of satellite photos revealed a huge range in the size of the bloom. Some years, it covers an area the size of Delaware. In others, it can be dozens of times larger—as big as California. The blooms are fed by iron—a key nutrient. But there's not a lot of it in the Southern Ocean. And the location of the annual bloom isn't near any of the most common sources of iron. So researchers looked for a “deeper” cause. They found that the bloom occurs in a region with lots of underwater volcanoes. “Vents” pump hot, iron-rich fluids into the water—possibly feeding the bloom. Records of volcanic activity in the region showed that, when the ocean floor was rocked by earthquakes of magnitude five or greater in the months before a bloom, the event was much bigger. The tremors might clear out blocked vents, or create new ones, boosting the amount of iron in the water—a positive impact for earthquakes. The post Bloomin’ Quakes appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

As the Strait of Hormuz is closed and the supply chain breaks down, isn't it convenient that we also see a major probability of an el niño turning into a "Super El Niño?" This also has a 97% probability of carrying on into the Spring. As major weather events sweep the world from the Venezuelan Earthquake to the flash floods in Kentucky and Tennessee, wildfires in Colorado and British Colombia, heatwave conditions spark wildfires in Spain as well as Croatia, floods hit several African countries, a typhoon hits Taiwan and China, a monsoon inundates India, flooding hits Manitoba and a 7.8 earthquake also hits Philippines, one must ask why all at once? What is actually happening? Hugo Chavez claimed in 2010 that the US government was using weapons like HAARP to cause earthquakes worldwide which they will eventually use on Iran in a time of war. HAARP is definitely something we should be looking at as people reported "northern lights" type effects around the waters of Venezuela just before the earthquake. Whistleblowers have also come forward about seismic weapons in Antarctica used by the US military. On top of this is cloud seeding which could lead to mass inundations in some places as droughts plague other parts of the world. With the governments of the world manufacturing supply chain disruptions with war as well as climate policies involving the selling off of huge percentages of farm land including in The Netherlands which of course is the 2nd top agricultural export country in the world, we need to be asking questions. This is "the perfect storm." With these weather events, rations under the guise of emergency orders could very well be on our doorsteps eventually. The combination of all of these already existing shortages and high inflation with further destructive weather events puts the state in the perfect place to take control utilizing rationing on digital IDs.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1949DM Colin O'Brady's sled strap snapped before he even took his first step in Antarctica. Minus 25 degrees. Alone. Racing a British special forces vet already disappearing over the horizon. Colin started sweating within the hour. Then crying. The tears froze to his face. He called his wife Jenna from the ice. She didn't tell him to quit. She told him to focus on one thing. Get to the first waypoint. Half a mile away. That night in his tent, a mantra came to him out of nowhere. You are strong. You are capable. He said it out loud every morning for the next 54 days. Day one, he barely made it. Day two, eight miles. Day three, nine miles and his first real minute of flow. Even having multiple world records to his name, Colin still wakes up scared most days. This story is about what he does with that fear, not how he gets rid of it.

Midsummer in the Northern hemisphere marks the dead of winter in Antarctica, usually a time when temperatures plunge and the surrounding ocean ices over, nearly doubling the continent's size. But this June, scientists found Antarctica's west coast was missing a chunk of sea ice the size of France. How unusually warm ocean water is affecting sea ice as well as massive Antarctic glaciers. Also, recent findings that peatlands are expanding northward as the Arctic warms might sound like good news, since peat has powerful carbon storage capabilities. But it takes millennia for peat to sequester large amounts of carbon, while we are burning fossil fuels far more quickly than the Earth can absorb. And much of the world's staple crops of corn, wheat, rice and soy are grown in huge monocultures that disrupt ecosystems and require massive amounts of fertilizer, pesticides, fossil fuels and water. The author of ‘Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food' offers a more sustainable vision of food production. She shares how nut trees can offer alternative sources of starch, protein and healthy fats that integrate well into local ecosystems and can help feed a growing population. -- Don't miss the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on Tuesday, July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT!

Author Brad Olsen discusses secrets hidden in Antarctica, prompted by a remote viewer's claim of a "giant hole" being covered up by NASA. This hole is described as a doorway near a secret military base. The conversation connects this to Admiral Byrd's Operation High Jump and his encounter with pole-to-pole flying crafts. Olsen examines evidence for a massive underground "arc" or mothership, as described by insiders, and considers the advanced beings within. The talk also covers Nazi involvement, referencing German U-boat maps and a possible Fourth Reich surviving in Agartha under the ice.

In today's conversation Dr. Greg explores the decision he and his sixteen-year-old daughter Ingrid made to attempt seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. He shares how persistent injuries led them to stop, recover, and rebuild their health from the ground up before they were ready to begin endurance training again. The episode traces the project from a series of small rehabilitation sessions to a potential Guinness World Record attempt, while introducing the Great World Race as a living exploration of human physiology, adaptation, and possibility. The event is scheduled for November 15–21, 2026, beginning at Wolf's Fang in Antarctica and finishing in Miami.

You don't need a bigger following. You need one real conversation with the right person.That's the uncomfortable truth new coaches avoid, because it's easier to post another Instagram Reel than to sit across from someone and ask what they're actually struggling with. Adam sits down with Candy Motzek, a coach for coaches who left a high-pressure corporate leadership role (and a severe burnout that once made her forget her own phone number) to build a business helping professionals and senior leaders become coaches without quitting their identity in the process.Candy's story doesn't start with a business plan. It starts on a cruise ship headed toward Cape Horn, terrified of waters she'd built up in her head as dangerous, only to sail through them flat calm and sunny. That single moment cracked open a bigger question: how many other things had she talked herself out of before ever testing whether the fear was real? Two weeks later she was in her first coach training.What makes this conversation useful isn't the origin story, though. It's what Candy does with new coaches once they've made the leap. She doesn't send them straight to social media. She has them run a research project or survey with the exact people they want as clients, which does two things at once: it hands the new coach language and authority they didn't have to invent, and it puts them in direct conversation with future clients before they've built anything to sell.What you'll learn:Why the fear you're avoiding is usually bigger in your head than in reality, and how to test it instead of managing around itHow to build authority as a brand new coach using research conversations and surveys instead of a followingWhy one-on-one clients are the right starting point before group programs or mastermindsThe real math behind coaching pricing, and why your old salary has nothing to do with what you should chargeWhy "coach goes first" isn't a slogan, it's the actual reason coaches need coachesHow to reconnect with what you loved before titles and responsibility buried itCandy's clearest reframe: most new coaches think they need permission or visibility before anyone will pay them. What actually signs clients is a real, curious conversation with someone who already trusts you, which means the exposure-first approach most new coaches default to is solving the wrong problem entirely.Notable quote:"If you believe that people should pay you to be a coach, then you should be investing in your own coaching too." — Candy MotzekGuest bio:Candy Motzek is a coach for coaches who helps professionals and senior leaders build coaching businesses without abandoning their existing expertise.

UFO disclosure may be moving closer to a major turning point.In this Week in Review, Dr. Michael Salla examines new claims that the White House is considering protections for whistleblowers who can reveal information about crash retrieval programs, recovered craft, and non-human biological material.He also looks at the reported 1952 UFO activity over Washington, D.C., questions surrounding Luis Elizondo's role in controlled disclosure, David Grusch's growing influence in Congress, and the possibility of an official announcement confirming that the UFO phenomenon is real.Other topics include directed-energy weapons, the Golden Dome defense system, secret programs connected to Antarctica, remote viewing of underground facilities, Avi Loeb's reported advisory role, Vatican and Israeli connections, Project Paperclip, and the deeper forces that may be shaping the disclosure process.Watch the full episode, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe to Exopolitics Today for more uncensored analysis of UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, secret space programs, and global disclosure.I can also tighten this into a shorter, harder-hitting version for stronger mobile engagement.TopicsRep.

There's a reservoir of untapped potential inside you right now. The only question is whether you'll reach it. Colin O'Brady is the first person in history to cross Antarctica solo, completely unsupported and unaided, covering nearly 1,000 miles alone in 54 days while pulling a 375-pound sled through temperatures reaching minus 80 degrees wind chill. He's also a world record holder for the Explorers Grand Slam, having completed all Seven Summits and expeditions to both poles in 139 consecutive days -- a project he called The Impossible First. Before any of that, he was a 22-year-old backpacker in Thailand with 25% of his body severely burned, told by doctors he might never walk normally again. What pulled him through was a single visualization exercise, a mother who refused to let him see his own darkness, and a goal set from a hospital bed he had no business believing in. What you'll hear in this conversation is how he trained his mind more than his body, how flow states carried him through 32 consecutive hours on the final push across Antarctica, and what a four-word mantra repeated every morning for 54 days can actually do to a human being.

In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with James Henderson, CEO of Exclusive Resorts and The Exclusive Collective, for a fascinating conversation on the future of luxury travel, community, and what it really means to live well. James shares how Exclusive Resorts evolved from a destination club into a luxury lifestyle platform with more than $1 billion in real estate, hundreds of residences, once-in-a-lifetime trips, and a growing family of brands designed to serve affluent travelers in different ways. From private homes and curated villas to Formula One, the Kentucky Derby, Antarctica, around-the-world jet trips, and exclusive member experiences, James explains why today's most successful people are increasingly choosing memories, relationships, and seamless service over material status. Jess and James also explore the rise of the experience economy, the power of community among high-net-worth families, and why the best luxury experiences are often defined by what you do not have to think about. James breaks down how his team uses personalization, human touch, brand architecture, and operational discipline to create travel that feels effortless while still deeply personal. This conversation is about more than luxury vacations. It is about time, connection, family, leadership, and building a business around the idea that people may be able to make more money, but they cannot make more time. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam sits down with Izzy Griffin for a deep dive into the mysterious death of Oliver Tree, exploring the roles of numerology, Gematria, and the hidden symbolism surrounding his social media posts, music videos, and the unfinished Antarctica film. The conversation also examines what Oliver Tree's death may reveal about the state of the conspiracy community, the future of truther content, and the influence of Choronzon, the god of disorder, as a symbol of chaos and deception infiltrating truth seeking for material gain.

World-renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (Author of Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter) returns to the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown studio for one of his most mind-bending conversations yet, covering UFOs, aliens, consciousness, near death experiences, secret government speculation, DMT entities, Antarctica's hidden lakes, and what humanity may discover beyond Earth.Neil reveals why he REFUSED an invitation to inspect an alleged alien body and explains what most people get wrong about extraterrestrials. He shares his biggest problems with how aliens are portrayed in Hollywood, why alien life may not need to be silicon-based, and whether stories about reverse-engineered UFO technology (including theories involving the Wright Brothers) hold any scientific weight.He also addresses the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear research and aerospace programs, and whether any of it could realistically be tied to nonhuman intelligence, UAPs, or classified technology.The conversation goes even deeper into consciousness and altered states. We explore the controversial DMT laser protocol experiments and why so many experiencers report seeing the same “source code,” encountering entities, communicating with departed souls, or entering what feels like other dimensions. Neil explains the scientific evidence he would require before accepting out-of-body experiences or near death experiences as real phenomena existing outside the brain.He also reveals why he has never used drugs, why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death, and breaks down his fascinating “3 varieties of truth” framework for understanding reality itself.Plus:- What Neil deGrasse Tyson hopes humanity's first contact with aliens would actually look like- How aliens & UFOs became mainstream cultural topics- Why he wanted to become part of the alien conversation- Whether underground lakes beneath Antarctica could serve as models for icy alien oceans elsewhere in the solar system- Future of astrobiology, extraterrestrial discovery, & human understanding of consciousnessThis is one of the deepest and most controversial discussions Neil deGrasse Tyson has ever had on aliens, UFOs, DMT, consciousness, near death experiences, and the search for life beyond Earth!Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest book, Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter: https://neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-05-take-me-to-your-leader/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It was supposed to be a picturesque and luxurious sightseeing tour over Antarctica. One filled with wonder and awe, in a tour that had cultivated a reputation for giving passengers the “trip of a lifetime.” But what began as an adventurous flight near Mt. Erebus, the southernmost active volcano in the world, became one of New Zealand's most catastrophic accidents. What really happened? And who was ultimately responsible? Meanwhile, President Carter had just lost the election to Ronald Regan, who announced the release of the hostages in Iran the same day he was inaugurated. Was this timing a coincidence, or did President Carter get a bad deal? Join us for the final episode of the series, Mayhem: The 1970s You Never Knew.
