This is a special reissue from Season 1 of Identified. Hrishikesh Hirway has spent a decade getting artists to take their songs apart. On this episode of Identified with Nabil Ayers, the Song Exploder host takes his own story apart instead. Growing up the child of Indian immigrants in a Massachusetts suburb, a food-scientist father, a mother with a master's in literature working at Sears, in a family he describes as "four fourths equals one." It's a conversation about what happens when the whole fractures. His mother, the family's anchor and storyteller, losing her voice, and the grief he only recognised he'd been accumulating for years; a run of hard autumns since; choosing not to have kids and feeling the numbers dwindle; the guilt of the prodigal son who chose music over medicine; and the first song he'd written in ten years, born from a dream of her. And through it all, the Thanksgiving his family invented, forty people in a small house, two full meals, and his mother's legendary mango pie, which went on to a New York Times tribute and a Salt & Straw ice cream flavour she never got to see. His answer to what family is might be the show's loveliest yet: a sectional couch, a Friday night movie, and everyone squished in. 00:00 "Four fourths equals one"01:04 An immigrant family in the suburbs02:39 Inventing their own Thanksgiving07:12 Exeter at 1309:15 His mother, the anchor13:49 A shrinking family16:08 Choosing not to have kids20:00 Music, guilt & the prodigal son28:12 The first song in ten years30:50 Mango pie & Salt & Straw32:57 What is family?

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker talk about the return of McDonald's Monopoly, their favorite versions of the classic board game, and whether younger generations still have any love for ruthless Monopoly competition. The conversation then takes a more serious turn into hitchhiking, a frightening story from JJ's family history, childhood memories surrounding missing-person cases, and JJ's recent interview with Elizabeth Smart. Things eventually lighten up with sandwiches, plumbing problems, baths, bazookas, Super Mario voice actors, movie theater popcorn, vitamins, CoQ10, Jägermeister myths, and the early days of Red Bull in Fargo. JJ and Tucker also revisit Jolt Cola, OK Soda, Surge, holiday snack tins, and the strange power of a great 1990s commercial. 00:00 A Dark Story, Then Red Bull 01:06 McDonald's Monopoly Returns 01:55 Monopoly Fever 02:20 The Celebrity Monopoly Tournament 03:08 Favorite Monopoly Editions 04:05 Does Gen Z Hate Monopoly? 05:41 Hitchhiking in Fargo 05:59 JJ's Mom Picks Up a Hitchhiker 07:16 The Drive to Alexandria 09:04 The Jacob Wetterling Documentary 11:08 Interviewing Elizabeth Smart 12:03 Trauma and Public Identity 13:20 Inventing a Sandwich 14:50 Chicken Fingers and Soup 15:26 Plumbing Problems Mid-Podcast 16:35 Baths vs. Showers 18:08 Bazookas and the Super Scope 19:06 Fargo Voice Acting in Diablo 19:50 Who Voices Mario? 21:00 Tennis Elbow 21:16 Hot Tubs and Orville Redenbacher 23:14 Movie Theater Popcorn Butter 24:37 Holiday Snack Tins 25:34 CoQ10 and Supplements 26:49 Low Testosterone Advertising 27:28 Jägermeister Myths 28:20 Red Bull Myths 28:40 Early Red Bull in Fargo 29:43 Jolt Cola 30:04 OK Soda and Surge 30:46 The Snickers Commercial 31:41 Outro 32:19 Final Tag

Innovation doesn't always look revolutionary. Sometimes it looks like putting shredded cheese in a bag.For more than 70 years, Sargento Foods has built a business around seeing possibilities in places others might overlook. From pioneering packaged shredded cheese and resealable packaging to spending a decade developing a new natural cheese, innovation at Sargento isn't a one-time initiative. It's a pipeline stretching years into the future.CEO Louie Gentine joins us to share the unlikely story behind the family business and how that same appetite for invention is shaping its future. We get into the mortician-machinist-entrepreneur who helped start it all, the consumer insights behind new products, and the automation transforming Sargento's factories. Louie also explains why technology should make manufacturing jobs better, what he means by the “gamification of the factory floor,” and why employers and educators need to work together to prepare the next generation.In this episode, you'll hear:The mortician-machinist who helped launch SargentoWhy shredded cheese was once a big ideaHow Sargento builds a five-year innovation pipelineRobots, automation and the “gamification” of the factory floorWhy tomorrow's workforce needs technical skills and soft skills3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. The best innovations solve problems so well that eventually they seem obvious. Sargento was the first to put shredded cheese in a bag and the first perishable product to use resealable packaging, innovations that are now grocery-store standards. The common thread is understanding what consumers are doing, where their needs are headed and finding the opportunity others haven't acted on yet.2. Automation works best when it makes people's jobs better. Sargento has invested heavily in robotics and automation to eliminate repetitive, physically demanding work, while committing to move employees into different roles rather than eliminate their jobs. As technology reshapes the plant, Louie sees manufacturing moving toward a more engaging, technology-driven, even “gamified” workplace.3. A strong workforce needs technical skills and soft skills in equal measure. As manufacturing becomes more technical, employers need people who can build capabilities while still communicating, collaborating and holding themselves accountable. Louie stresses that education can't prioritize one at the expense of the other: the workforce needs both.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Sargento FoodsSargento's commitment to food, housing & educationMore links, resources & connect with our guest online through the show notes page: https://techedpodcast.com/gentine/We want to hear from you!

Pablos Holman - hacker, Blue Origin alum, co-founder of a 6,000-patent invention lab with Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold, and now founder of the venture fund Deep Future - joins Jim Joyce and Eugene Borukhovich for a long-format conversation that starts in an Alaska basement and ends in a proteomic blood test that can already predict what kills you. Along the way: why he coined the term "shallow tech" for the last two decades of Silicon Valley, why the invention labs before his kept under-commercializing their own breakthroughs, and his case for why healthcare needs to work like Amazon and Google Maps combined before any of the rest of it matters. 00:00 - Cold Open - Letting Pablos In02:36 - Why This One's Different: The Long-Format Experiment03:21 - Born in Alaska With a Computer Nobody Had Seen10:23 - The Reverse-Engineering Mantra17:06 - What a Hacker Actually Is26:27 - From Dot-Com Bust to Blue Origin30:29 - Inventing 6,000 Patents With Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold36:21 - Why Invention Capital Beats Traditional VC43:49 - The Gwynne Shotwell Problem50:31 - The Case for Paying Inventors Like Musicians54:13 - Healthcare's 18 Trillion Dollar Problem59:11 - Alden Scientific: One Blood Test to Predict What Kills You1:03:12 - The Amazon-and-Google-Maps Vision for Healthcare1:06:40 - 3D-Printed Food, Revisited a Decade Later1:12:35 - Holobiome and the Return of Microbiome Science1:15:26 - AI, Hammers, and Who Should Decide What Matters1:20:33 - The Signature Question: Advice to His Younger Self1:29:05 - Where to Find Pablos Guest: Pablos Holman, Founder, Deep Future - LinkedIn - deepfuture.tech Mentioned in this episode: Blue Origin, Intellectual Ventures, Alden Scientific, Holobiome, Gwynne Shotwell (SpaceX), Neal Stephenson.

In this episode Jerry and Stably discussed Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong by J.L. Mackie, a dense, academic defense of moral error theory: the claim that no objective morality exists. They walked through Mackie's argument from relativity (moral codes vary across cultures) and his "argument from queerness" (an objective morality would have to be an inexplicably motivating fact unlike anything else we recognize as real), and his conclusion that this needn't lead to nihilism, since morality functions as an evolved, practically useful system for cooperation given humans' limited sympathy and scarce resources. They connected this to evolutionary psychology, discussed how rapid technological change (AI, simulated realities, warfare) could strain inherited moral intuitions, and debated whether openly admitting morality's non-objectivity destabilizes social cohesion. Despite finding the prose difficult, both recommended the book, particularly for readers already sympathetic to skepticism about objective morality.

John Merkus talks with Sean McBride about how a tough academic start in Ireland did not stop him from becoming a chef, entrepreneur, inventor, and father. The conversation centers on belief, taking action, and the moments that shifted Sean's life from uncertainty to momentum.In this episode, Sean shares how mentors, curiosity, and persistence shaped his path across Ireland, Canada, and Australia, plus the personal values that helped him build businesses and stay grounded. Key topics Sean explains why he felt school did not define his future, and how early work behind a bar at 15 gave him his first real direction. He shares the turning point with Mr. Cullen, an engineering teacher who helped him build a terrine mold that later led to a gold medal in a regional competition and selection for the Culinary Olympics in Frankfurt in 1992. Sean describes how a single restaurant-quality meal from a customer opened his eyes to cooking as a calling, and how kitchens suited his senses, focus, and work ethic. He talks about persistence, including repeatedly asking for a job at the Shelbourne Hotel until he was finally taken on after a year of weekly effort. Sean reflects on “manifesting” as belief plus action, using the example of wanting to move to Canada and later receiving a visa through a chance connection with a hotel visitor. He breaks down the value of stepping back to learn more, including going from an established position back to apprentice-level work in a Michelin-level kitchen to strengthen his foundation. Sean shares the story of inventing a safer cling wrap dispenser after noticing how dangerous and wasteful the standard cardboard box design was in commercial kitchens. He explains how that invention taught him to measure twice, think through systems carefully, and later build successful salad bars by planning the customer flow in detail before rollout. The conversation moves into ego, burnout, and the realization that success in hospitality was less about personal brilliance and more about managing people, systems, and standards. Sean also discusses drumming as his creative outlet after leaving the kitchen world, including how music helped him enter a meditative state and process hard times. He tells the story of meeting his wife Jaya through a chain of synchronicities involving a relationship, a Hare Krishna center, and her parents becoming mentors in his life. Sean ends by defining greatness as having no regrets, giving things a real chance, staying balanced, and being present for family rather than chasing status at any cost.

Measure twice, cut once - A lesson from the cling wrap invention that later shaped how he designed and launched the salad bar business. Systemize to scale - Inspired by The E-Myth, Sean shifted from thinking like a chef with a job to thinking like an operator building something repeatable. Greatness without regret - For Sean, greatness means giving your best effort, staying balanced, and not leaving important things undone. Notable quotes “The only regrets you can ever have is not giving it a crack.” “The moment your belief matches with any state, you fuse with it.” “Greatness to me is no regretting, not leaving anything on the table.”

#1064 What if the key to breakthrough innovation isn't inventing something new — but seeing value where everyone else sees waste? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Stuart Jenkins, a lifelong athlete turned footwear innovator, to unpack an incredible entrepreneurial journey that blends grit, patience, and purpose. Stuart shares how his background as an Olympic Trials–qualifying marathon runner shaped his mindset for startups, why he believes preparation is everything, and how decades in the footwear industry led him to reimagine massive amounts of discarded foam as high-performance, commercially viable products. From licensing early innovations to Reebok, to helping bring HOKA to life, to building a sustainable footwear brand that transformed industry “waste” into products worn by elite athletes — and even featured on Oprah's Favorite Things — this conversation is a masterclass in innovation, persistence, and seeing opportunity where others see trash! (Original Air Date - 1/7/26) What we discuss with Stuart: + Olympic Trials mindset + 1000:1 preparation principle + Athlete to entrepreneur journey + Footwear innovation origins + Commercializing ideas vs inventing + Turning waste into resources + Sustainability beyond marketing + Building factories from scratch + Rejection, luck, and persistence + Seeing truth before trends Thank you, Stuart!

Lords: Rebecca Martin Topics: Running a home server: Easier than you might think and very useful to do The best place to find poetry is on vacation Winston reading every sign in Target Zampiceni's Marketplace, by Margaret Szumonski https://toots.ravenoak.dev/@rebecca/116899616527167036 Hot dog research thursdays and bad dracula nights Microtopics: Tomato season: the tomatoes look pretty good. Mozart in the Park. Actors: they're not fussy like cellists. Ancient Greek plays where they stab each other. 10 hours of Star Trek engine noises. An illicit hacker breaking into your Jellyfin server and watching your Star Trek. Listen to Data putter around. A recurring thing with a database that you have to keep debugging. Building a normal computer out of normal parts. Everybody being each other's encrypted off-site backup. Opening books and closing them, then opening them again and closing them again. The one about the horny grocery store. Having a difficult time finding delicious food in Massachusetts. The kind of food they feed you on a weaving retreat. Sitting in a Starbucks, staring at the internet and rotting. Walking into an indie music store and perusing the local music section. Getting mad on vacation because you miss your cats. Nothing Beats Doing Nothing. Buying grape juice from vineyards and making wine at home. All the little guys that help you make wine and cheese. Wrapping your wine fermentation vats in blankets so all the bacteria are more comfortable. Folks who assume you know about wine because you're from California. An advertisement exhorting you to go where you already are. Abag & Iclei?? What does that mean? Puzzling out the vanity plates. Growing up watching only PBS and then falling for every ad as an adult because you have no ad literacy. Seeing a targeted ad and feeling like you failed as a person because you want to buy the thing. How Instagram ruined hash tags. Getting off-topic but it's okay because it's a different topic. Prose poems and deconstructed sandwiches. Absolutely! No parking! For Buca di Beppo! Having notes on this sign. Seeing a sign and thinking "hmm, someone must've parked for Buca di Beppo here." Your tight five on East Coast Fallouts ruined the Fallout TV series. The grocer cutting open the pomegranates so you can touch them. Muscles building like coconuts, lifting whole regimes of bananas. Why are husbands so wrong about Zampiceni's Marketplace? Moammar Gaddafi's obsession with Condoleezza Rice. Getting curious what Danny Devito was doing in the 1970s. The invention of No-Fault Divorce. Be sure to marry someone you can go to the grocery store with. (Especially the sexy grocery store.) Saving the horny onions for your next appearance. What to do with all the write-in topics now that we don't have a write-in segment. Who to turn to for pizza research now that the Pizza Research Institute has shut down. A pizza that's more like a heaping roasted salad. Inventing the peanut butter and pickle hot dog once a week. Putting peanut butter on noodles. Food wizards. As much star anise as you could possibly ever use. Learning to cook in a no-onion environment. Fermenty Black Beans. Medium to high-effort hot dogs. Dracula just trying to be a good dad. Quitting Bad Dracula Day for good. Lucy pulling the football away. (The football is good Dracula movies.) A movie where karate guys do kick-ass moves while children are being trafficked. Michelle Yeoh as Cop Lady. Fast forward 200 years and it's 1972 and there's a funk soundtrack. Hosting your own patreon, and other ideas that will definitely work. Being on the Fediverse to post and on Bluesky to cry. What Gene Siskel thinks of the Blacula sequel.

Why the AI bubble is bound to burst, the influence of Big Tech and the concept of ‘enshittification’ with tech journalist Cory Doctorow. In today’s episode of Culture Club Chats, we sit down with Canadian-British author, activist, journalist and blogger Cory Doctorow. Cory’s work at the intersection of technology and culture reached new heights following the publication of his 2025 book, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. The term ‘enshittification’ was coined by Cory and describes the degradation of online services and platforms like Facebook, Amazon and X in pursuit of profit. In this conversation, Cory unpacks why the AI bubble is bound to burst, how Big Tech has reshaped the internet, and what the future of our increasingly online lives might look like. Cory is coming to Australia this month. He'll be at Sydney’s Festival of Dangerous Ideas from the 22nd to the 23rd of August, and Melbourne’s Now or Never Festival, presented by The Wheeler Centre, on the 25th of August. In Bookmarked, Cory recommends Here Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple and Inventing the Renaissance by Ada Palmer.

A whole world out there." Conversations in real life vs. discord Having “over a decade of experience in the interior design industry” Microtopics: Gabe's Action Arcade Roguelike. Spelunky with less secrets and more upgrades. Randomized item behavior. Tasteful Pranking. Using earbuds as earplugs in a pinch. The short but wrong description. Timed Mashing Games. A building that exists continuously. Why would you pay someone else to do something that you can do yourself? A 70%-complete noise maker. Deliberately building your modular synthesizer to be incompatible with every modular standard so you're not tempted to buy any modules. Synthesizers as folk instruments, every one unique and owned by a weird uncle. SDL taking your sine wave and making it pretty. An online MIDI thing which is pretty annoying. Video: it has so much more data than audio. How to make your audio engine samples play at the right time. Electricity: it just happens. Hitting undo on the breadboard when you blow up some capacitors. Making a synthesizer by drawing a circuit with a graphite pencil. Being old enough to have once seen a PCB that was laid out by hand. Having something important in your clipboard and knowing you'd better put it somewhere soon before it's lost. Sending files to your phone over the local Wi-Fi. Parts of your body you doing trust. Prodding the clipboard until it reluctantly copies the text like a surely teenager. Emailing support and slowly realizing that support is actually the guy who makes the decisions. What life could be like if venture capital didn't exist. Putting a warning on the 4001st M&M. How to send an edible arrangement without knowing someone's address. Inventing something that already exists. Inventing a process and thinking "that's too simple to work" but later you find out it does and has a name. Getting sick of using a rhyming dictionary to write poems so you just cut and paste a list of rhyming words right into the poem. A poem that it feels wrong to read aloud. What is a line break but moving to a new place where the next word starts? A poem that is approved by the Comics Code Authority. How all the comic book letterers came to have the exact same handwriting. A word that starts with a through e and ends with song. Talking online vs. talking in person. Trying to quietly talk to your neighbor in discord voice chat. Why Discord doesn't allow you to place voice chats participants in Dolby 7.1 space. Tuning your proximity happening settings. Three people pairing off and having two conversations at once. The next talk show guest coming out and everybody moving one chair over. That time Andy Richter tried to have a side conversation with Norm MacDonald while Conan O'Brien was talking to the next guest. That thing where two people are hard to tell apart because their voices are similar to each other. Your e-commerce platform giving your image a random four digit number. Choosing guests based on whose voice compliments yours. Being on a weekly video game podcast and realizing you'd better play some goddamn video games this week or you won't have anything to talk about. Changing topics when there are three minutes left on the show. Trying to finish recording the show when your laptop is at 7% battery life. An incredible way to pull rank. Telling the airline employee that you work in aerospace and you deserve more leg room. Promising your Kickstarter backers to go to Denny's for lunch. Bluesky handles that are a palindrome of themselves.

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!The remarkable story of how a stick of Wrigley's chewing gum rescued a priceless piece of cinema history unfolds in this fascinating exploration of Edison, innovation, and overlooked genius. When historian Jack Stanley joins us to discuss a historic photograph from Edison's laboratory, what emerges is an incredible tale of rediscovery and ingenuity spanning over a century. Recorded July 2025.While Thomas Edison gets credit for inventing motion pictures, the real pioneer was his employee William Kennedy Laurie Dixon. As Stanley reveals, Edison's true genius was "being brilliant enough to realize he wasn't brilliant" – surrounding himself with specialized talent like Dixon who developed film sprockets, created the first film studio (the "Black Maria"), and ultimately produced the first synchronized sound film in 1894, showing men dancing while Dixon played violin.The story takes an extraordinary turn when Stanley shares his firsthand account of being present in 1995 when the original sound cylinder for this historic film was discovered in the Edison archives. Broken in three pieces and sitting forgotten in a cigar box for decades, the cylinder seemed unplayable – until sound engineer Peter Dilge had a flash of inspiration while chewing gum after a dental appointment. Using ordinary Wrigley's gum to temporarily hold the cylinder fragments together, they successfully recovered the audio, reuniting sound and image for the first time since the 1890s.This little-known historical treasure isn't just fascinating trivia – it represents a pivotal moment in media technology that predated "The Jazz Singer" by 33 years. Subscribe to hear more extraordinary stories about innovation, unsung heroes, and the surprising ways history gets preserved and rediscovered when you least expect it.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes new guest Dr. Rob Yonover, a Hawaii-based scientist, inventor of military survival gear, and lifelong music fan. Rob recalls seeing Bruce Springsteen in Miami in 1975 and shares his connections to Perry Farrell, along with a deep love for Bob Dylan and a desert-island album pick list (Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited," Jane's Addiction's "Nothing's Shocking," and Sublime's "40 Ounces to Freedom"). Jesse shares his own three albums and how seeing Springsteen live in 2002 sparked an obsession that led to 20+ shows.

On this Season 6, episode #236 of Boroughs and Burbs, we explore the art and economics of creating neighborhoods from the ground up with Brandon Cobb of HBG Capital. From overlooked corridors to emerging urban districts, Brandon shares how developers identify opportunity before the market sees it. We discuss placemaking, adaptive growth, infrastructure, retail strategy, and how new neighborhoods attract residents, businesses, and long-term investment. What transforms an area from “up-and-coming” into a destination? How do developers balance vision, risk, and community impact? Whether it's mixed-use development, housing demand, or the psychology behind where people want to live, this episode offers a fascinating look at how entirely new real estate ecosystems are built and why timing matters so much.

Censorship is often associated with authoritarian governments. But throughout history, efforts to control ideas have taken many different forms — and they haven't always come from the state. In this episode, Nico sits down with University of Chicago professor Ada Palmer to explore the history of censorship from the Renaissance to the present day. They discuss what motivates censorship, why it evolves alongside new communication technologies, how effective it has been throughout history, and what historical patterns can teach us about today's free speech debates. Ada Palmer is a professor of early modern European history at the University of Chicago and the author of Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age. She is also an acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author, composer, singer, and expert on anime and Japanese popular culture.

In this episode, Britten is joined once again by Mariola Rosario for a conversation on channeled art, art history, mysticism, and the exciting timing of two major Paris exhibitions devoted to Hilma af Klint and Leonora Carrington.  Topics They Cover: Mariola's early relationship with art, magical realism, the Caribbean, and the figure of the artist as someone who can conjure new realities. Britten's path through art history, grief, Paris, Symbolist art, atomic science, and the study of what cannot be seen with the naked eye. Hilma af Klint, the 2018 Guggenheim retrospective, and the "aperture" that seems to have opened around channeled artists and women whose work has long been omitted or minimized. The role of spirit guides, collaboration, and unseen forces in Hilma's work, including the way her paintings are now being described with more respect for the mystical context they came through. Leonora Carrington, surrealism, exile, the psychic world, and the women artists who were often placed at the margins of movements they helped shape. Mariola's upcoming Leo season class on self-portraiture, authorship, symbols, and the solar invitation to put the self onto the page. At the center of the conversation is the sense that we are in a moment of aperture: an opening that allows us to receive these artists so fully. Britten and Mariola speak to the hunger to know these women and their work, the importance of asking what has been omitted, and the creative partnerships that happen with both real humans and the invisible forces moving through the channel.   Join Us In Paris: Britten LaRue and Mariola Rosario invite you to an in-person gathering in Paris. Moment of Aperture: On channeled art and gnosis with Leonora Carrington and Hilma af Klint. We're thrilled you are able to join us on Sunday, July 19, from 11:30-1 (please note the time change from what is named in the episode). The first part of our meetup will be a discussion. The second half will be more of a ritual. The exchange is 40 Euros.

I spoke to Nick Srnicek, author of Platform Capitalism, co-author of Inventing the Future, and most recently Silicon Empires, about why AI is consolidating Big Tech's power rather than disrupting it. We dig into why the AI upstarts remain dependent on the infrastructure of the incumbents, why the gap between open and closed models may widen as frontier training costs spiral upward, and the real biosecurity risks buried under Silicon Valley's safety discourse. Nick also breaks down what AI sovereignty could mean for Europe, and why racing to hoard AI productivity gains for yourself misses the actual task: preventing a permanent underclass from forming at all. If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

A poet who has lived two decades with incurable cancer on what faith sounds like when God feels more absent than present. Christian Wiman joins Mark Labberton to talk poetry, suffering, and friendship. "The presence of God, less so. I experience the absence more than the presence." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Wiman reflects on writing "Every Riven Thing" after a single church service, surviving a last-resort clinical trial, and the friendship behind his new book with Miroslav Volf. Together they discuss the paradox at the heart of poetry, grief that explodes into joy, and why joy asks something of us. They also weigh Heschel and Lewis's clarity, the friendless American male, and chance turned into destiny by constant choice. Episode Highlights "The presence of God, less so. I experience the absence more than the presence." "I would not let go of my despair, even though the poems were showing me something else." "Joy asks something of us on the other side." "The relief came from the communion between people." "I think that that was quite a shock to me to realize that we were each envying what the other had." About Christian Wiman Christian Wiman is a poet, essayist, editor, and translator, and the Clement-Muehl Professor of Communication Arts at Yale Divinity School, where he teaches religion and literature with the Yale Institute of Sacred Music. From 2003 to 2013 he edited Poetry, the oldest magazine of verse in the English-speaking world, tripling its circulation and earning two National Magazine Awards. He is the author, editor, or translator of more than a dozen books, including Every Riven Thing, the memoirs My Bright Abyss and He Held Radical Light, and the genre-blending Zero at the Bone. A former Guggenheim Fellow with two honorary doctorates, he has written candidly about faith and a long struggle with incurable cancer.

Félix Nadar took the first aerial photograph in 1858, so the story goes. The evidence, Emily Doucet notes, is mixed. In Inventing Nadar: A History of Photographic Firsts (Duke UP, 2026), Doucet analyzes the historical and material production of the nineteenth-century Parisian photographer's famous and numerous photographic firsts. Focusing on these oft-labeled groundbreaking elements of his career, she deconstructs Nadar's legacy as a prime protagonist in the history of photography by interrogating the media techniques used to construct his invention narratives. Doucet highlights this highly mediated process as one that canonized novel applications of photography as discrete techniques with single authors and inventors. Looking to this process of mediation through the institutions and individuals that shaped Nadar's archives, Doucet unpacks assumptions of Nadar as a master of early photography and shows how the medium is enmeshed in larger histories of media, science, and technology. The result is both a new account of Nadar's place in photographic history and a critical study of how stories of innovation take shape. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this inspiring episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed welcomes Dr. Robert Yonover — Ph.D. geochemist, volcanologist, North Shore big-wave surfer, and the brilliant mind behind the patented See Rescue Streamer. What started as a terrifying “what if” moment during a single-engine flight over the Pacific — when engine trouble made him realize how nearly impossible it would be to spot someone lost at sea — sparked one of the most practical and powerful survival innovations of our time. Dr. Yonover shares the full story behind the See Rescue Streamer: a simple yet brilliant bright-orange segmented streamer (personal version roughly the size of a cell phone when stowed) that dramatically increases visibility for search-and-rescue teams from miles away, day or night, on land or water. No batteries. No electronics. No chemicals. Just pure, passive, military-grade visibility that stands out against any background. You'll hear how this technology went from a Shark Tank pitch (Season 8) to being adopted by the U.S. military — including the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines — and is now protecting astronauts aboard SpaceX missions. Real stories of lives saved in combat zones, snowy backcountry, and open ocean will move you. Dr. Yonover also opens up about the deeper personal journey: 19 years as a primary caregiver to his paralyzed wife while raising young children and building his company from the ground up — often inventing late into the night. His story is a masterclass in perseverance, purpose-driven innovation, and turning personal adversity into something that saves lives. Whether you're an entrepreneur, inventor, outdoor adventurer, veteran, first responder, or someone navigating your own challenges, this conversation will refocus your mindset on what's possible when you refuse to let obstacles silence your vision. Key themes:Turning fear into life-saving innovationResilience through caregiving and entrepreneurshipThe power of simple, practical solutionsLeaving a legacy that protects othersConnect with Dr. Robert Yonover and get your own See Rescue Streamer at seerescuestreamer.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
