In Pomegranate we go back to some classic episodes from the last ten years that have stood the test of time. The first throwback takes us back to 2017 with episodes 20 and 21 titled “Genomics for the Generalist.” While there's been a flood of genomic discoveries since this story was first published, it's still a good primer on fundamental concepts and everyday challenges for the physician advising a patient. The expert guests include a genetic pathologist, a clinical geneticist, a genetic counsellor and a medical oncologist. The podcast covers the different roles for single gene tests and whole genome sequencing, which has become much more accessible. We tackle question of disease risk and how to present uncertain predictive diagnoses to consumers. This is particularly relevant to using genome-wide association studies, which re finding more and more markers with very small associated risks of disease. This increases the likelihood of picking up diagnoses incidental to the ones a clinician might be looking for. The ethics of consenting patients to genome screening and informing them of incidental findings are also discussed.

In this episode, I look into an early 20th century claim of a supernatural encounter with the past. Did two Oxford dons really see Marie Antoinette at Versailles in 1901? Was it a haunting?

After a more eventful than expected trip south The Cooler Version finally made it to the city of Raav'alia.

Queen Maud is without a leader, The Guards are without their Lord Admin, The Hydra has lost its head. But there is more to be done before The Old Timers can delve deeper to search for a way to travel back to their own time. The group works with The Scientist to keep Queen Maud together for those that want to remain here, but with new form and a more just function. Avis, Devon, and Neil mend their relationship with Kid, and The Old Timers become even closer with better understanding. Goodbyes are given and new paths are laid out for everyone as The Old Timers make their way into a long forgotten access shaft that goes down, deep underneath the Earth, to some mysterious entity.Music and Sound Effects:“Intro” by Abigail McDonald“Mimicry” by Gavin Luke at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Chronicle of a Monday” by Franz Gordon at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Muddy Meadows” by Franz Gordon at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Cobweb Morning” by Kai Engel at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Theme of Uncertainty” by William Claeson at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Midst of Life” by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen, Anna Dager, &Hanna Ekström at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Fay in Mist” by Magnus Ludvigsson at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Anxiety Attack” by Bonnie Grace at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Tvivel” by Hanna Ekström & Anna Dager at (www.epidemicsound.com)“A World Behind” by Hanna Lindgren at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Irresolute” by Anna Landström, Hanna Ekström, & Anna Dager at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Sad Clowns” by Alexandra Woodward at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Bonus: All in a Garden Green (Orchestral Version)” by Axletree at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)
The record for the longest space-flight is held by physician-cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov. Back in 1994-95, he spent 437 days on the Mir space station and grew 4 centimetres in height through elongation of his spine in micro-gravity. Polyakov had an uncomfortable ride back to Earth in the very precisely customised descent module. Microgravity also causes demineralization of weight-bearing bones that is faster than age-related decline. But the cosmonaut had worked out religiously for the entire mission and after his capsule parachuted to the ground he made a point of walking from it relatively unassisted. One of the main objectives of the marathon flight had been to prove that walking proudly onto the Martian surface after a 9-month journey might be possible, given it only has 37 percent the gravitational force that Earth does. Microgravity additionally results in adaptive plasticity of the vestibular and sensorimotor networks and deconditioning of the cardiovascular system. Indeed, several years ago there was a medical emergency aboard the international space station when an ultrasound investigation revealed thrombosis of the internal jugular vein in one astronaut. In this podcast we discuss how management of cases like this has many parallels with remote medicine on earth. Part 1 of this series examined the risks of cosmic radiation and spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome among other things.

In my annual holiday special for 2025, I examine discrepancies in the gospels relating to Jesus's lineage and parentage, as well as the gospel authors' use of common biblical tropes, their incorporation of prophecy and philosophy, and early church apologists' embrace of comparisons between Christ and pagan mythology, to demonstrate that, though Jesus was a real person, the gospels are crafted narratives, not the histories that biblical literalists make them out to be.

Howling and wailing with anguish and dismay, a dozen Corrupt pull themselves from the muddy Earth behind the strange obelisk to surround “The Old-Timers”, and the shadowy creatures all move in to attack. The sudden and unrelenting aggravation of The Corrupt in this place is unexpected behavior to Neil and Edna, something has got them whipped up into a frenzy and things begin to look dire. The deep, dark of the long night lays heavy over the battle… and the obelisk, the unknown memorial statue here, hums with odd power.Music and Sound Effects:“Intro” by Abigail McDonald“Tvivel” by Hanna Ekström & Anna Dager at (www.epidemicsound.com)“It All Ends Now” by Hampus Naeselius at (www.epidemicsound.com)“Cobweb Morning” by Kai Engel at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Bonus: All in a Garden Green (Orchestral Version)” by Axletree at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)

What time of day is best to take pills for high blood-pressure? There is new research indicating that nighttime dosage of hypertension pills might be best, but is it true?

To conclude my series on the Israel-Palestine conflict, I look at Jewish presence in the Levant going all the way back to the Iron Age, the events leading to the founding of the modern State of Israel, its unique economic and military relationship with the US, and its long asymmetrical conflict with Palestinians. Please consider donating to help bring an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It can be confusing and complex to navigate the many charities that claim to offer direct aid in Gaza. Some recommend giving directly to family fundraisers, but investigative reports suggest some GoFundMe donations never reach the citizens they're intended to help. As for charity organizations, some smaller ones have proven to be fronts, and even some major organizations accept donations for Gaza despite not providing direct aid on the ground there. There are even calls by other charities for the Israel and US backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to be shut down because of the numerous massacres occurring at its distribution sites. Among the more trustworthy charities actually working on bringing aid to Palestinians are UNICEF, Oxfam International, Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, and Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.
