Could landmarks like the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest actually point to a much younger Earth than commonly believed? What if massive geological features worldwide share a common origin story that challenges conventional timelines? An experienced geologist examines five remarkable landmarks—from the Tibetan Plateau’s vast sedimentary layers to Uluru’s pristine feldspar composition—revealing patterns suggesting catastrophic formation rather than gradual processes. Geomorphologist, Dr Ron Neller, presents compelling geological evidence for rapid, large-scale formation of Earth’s most iconic features. Subscribe to Creation magazine ⇢

We are back, finally! We kick off the show with some Ill-Advised News about a man painting his own crosswalk, and the cop who got caught on workman’s comp fraud. We hear about Anthony’s Costco journey, a beatboxing nun, and we surprise a loyal listener with a huge surprise.

Amy King hosts this Memorial Day Monday Wake Up Call. Author Chris Epting joins the show to talk about his book ‘Lost Landmarks of Orange County.' Amy talks with Australian chef and author Curtis Stone about how to properly cook a steak.

Our greatest living nature writer, Robert Macfarlane shares with Horatio Clare a single, transformative idea: are rivers alive? Robert Macfarlane is both the author of prize-winning bestsellers including Underland, Landmarks, and The Old Ways, and an artistic polymath whose collaborators include many of the most distinguished artists, musicians, and poets of our time, including Olafur Eliasson, Johnny Flynn, and Jackie Morris. Inspired by the activists, artists and lawmakers of the young ‘Rights of Nature' movement, Macfarlane takes us on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept. Transporting us from the miraculous cloud-forests of Northern Ecuador to the wounded rivers and lagoons of Southern India; and from north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river – the Mutehekau or Magpie – is being defended from death by damming in a riverrights campaign, to the fragile chalk stream that rises a mile from his house and flows through his years and days, this is a magical and radical listen that will make you rethink what you think you know about rivers and about the nature of life.

It's all the twos on episode two two two, as two of us chat about… uh… two times two (four) big topics. The chaps talk about football (!!!) and why it's so neat to go to events you might not normally attend. Back in much more familiar territory, we bring you a battle report from Salute 52; a miniatures wargames event run by South London Warlords. If that weren't more than enough, then we're also talking about the wonderfully wordy Landmarks by Floodgate Games, that combines vocab with map exploration to great effect (and may well lead to heated arguments between you and your friends, honestly). Plus Enigma Quest's Escape Arcade is like a modern Crystal Maze you can explore (and hopefully escape). All that, and probably some more twos we haven't thought of, on Ep222. 00:00 - Becoming a wine snob 06:42 - Football: it's good, actually 14:52 - Landmarks 31:34 - Salute 52 46:01 - Escape Arcade On this episode were Peter (@XeroXeroXero) and Sam (@MrSamTurner).

You probably know famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Great Wall of China, but did you know they have hidden secrets? For example, there's a secret apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower where its designer, Gustave Eiffel, used to hang out. The Statue of Liberty has a tiny room inside her torch, but you can't visit it because it's been closed since 1916 after an explosion damaged it. Even Mount Rushmore has a “Hall of Records” behind the presidents' heads, holding historical documents no one really talks about. These landmarks are full of surprises, proving there's always more than meets the eye!

Have you ever paused to remember the exact moment God showed up in your life? Not just in the big miracles—but in those quiet, undeniable whispers that changed everything?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord... So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.” — Joshua 4:7 (ESV)When the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground, God didn't just want them to move forward—He wanted them to remember. He instructed them to take twelve stones from the riverbed and build a memorial. Not for decoration, but for testimony. A visual reminder to future generations that God was real, present, and powerful.In our spiritual journeys, we often race from one breakthrough to the next. But how often do we stop to mark the moment? When God speaks, when He moves, when He delivers—those aren't random. Those are landmarks.Maybe it was the day you gave your life to Christ. Maybe it was when you heard God's voice so clearly, it left you undone. These moments matter. They are anchors in our journey, proving His faithfulness when storms hit.So here's the challenge: Start your own spiritual timeline. Write down the moments when God whispered, when He rescued, when He redirected your steps. Build your own memorial stones—not in rock, but in journal pages, memories, and testimonies.Question of the Day:What moment in your walk with God do you need to memorialize today?Let's Pray:Lord, help us not to forget Your faithfulness. Show us how to mark the moments where You've spoken and moved, that our faith might grow stronger with every remembrance. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry. Your paid subscription helps sustain this work and expand our ministry outreach.

This week, we explore the underground world with Robert MacFarlane of Cambridge University in England. Robert is the best-selling author of Landmarks and The Old Ways, and was awarded the EM Forster Prize for Literature by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His latest book, UNDERLAND, is an “epic exploration of the Earth's underworlds as they exist in myth, literature, memory, and the land itself.” The book also details the three major things that humans do with or in the underground world. You'll have to listen to the interview (or read the book!) to find out what they are. Katy and Robert discuss fascinating yet obscure concepts like deep-time, and how instead of making our lives seem insignificant, this concept can inspire us to live every second more fully. Robert also points out how important it is to keep cognizant of our ignorance, and never stop exploring and learning, and how spending so much time underground has taught him how much he loves the light and the living. Listen all the way to the end to find out the very scariest underground experience MacFarlane ever had. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

As part of our series on Harlem for Black History Month, we learn about venues and places of historical significance from Carolyn Johnson, founder of Welcome to Harlem, which hosts walking tours of the neighborhood. Johnson also created the Monopoly spinoff board game, Harlem-Opoly, featuring historical sites and figures of the Renaissance era.

Indiana has been a national leader in historic preservation for decades. Hoosiers have a strong record for studying, cataloguing and saving homes, churches, farms, factories, covered bridges, monuments, courthouses, hotels, libraries and even entire commercial districts and neighborhoods deemed to have historic value. Since being founded in 1960, the nonprofit group Indiana Landmarks has promoted and supported historic preservation efforts, often positioned at or near the center of major projects or helping bring the right parties to the table and acting as an adviser. It has 43 full-time employees and nine field offices around Indiana and is considered the largest statewide historic preservation organization in America. Marsh Davis has worked for Indiana Landmarks for 37 years—the last 19 of which as the group's president. He is retiring on April 15 but is headed right back into historic preservation as the new owner of a large Victorian home in New Harmony that needs a considerable amount of work. Leading by example has been one of the themes of his tenure. His legacy includes the $24 million restoration of the former Central Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in Indianapolis. Finished in 2011, it became Lankmarks' statewide headquarters as well as a multi-space events venue in the city's Old Northside Historic District. With a handful of weeks left in Davis' tenure, IBJ Podcast host Mason King sat down with the outgoing president to discuss the value of historic preservation and its influence on Indianapolis; the projects that stand out over four decades; the one that got away; and how he hopes his tenure as president will be remembered.

Throughout history, Humans have crossed forests and the sea using their navigation skills. Europeans leveraged maps for conquering foreign lands and improving their administration. As we rely so much on technology for our movements in the present, how did people of the past navigate unfamiliar lands? What kind of maps did they create? What relevance do maps hold today? Join Sowmya and Swathi Kalyani of the Takshashila Institution as they sit down with Anirudh Kanisetti, historian and author of Lords of Earth and Sea, to answer these questions.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.

Daunting? Hell yes. Listen to our guide which shows you what "tricks" you need to have and how to use them with your crew. Timestamps 00:30 2 essential calls What's expected of you - steer the boat to the best possible route. The straightest route and when you steer, make as tight a turn as you can without disrupting the rhythm. Think of the river as if it was a road and you are driving a car. In general you want to be in the middle - judge the distance between the tip of the blades and the bank on both sides of the boat to see if you are positioned well. Going round a corner to your right side - the deeper water is on your left side where the current has scoured out the bank (a slip off bank on the right and an undercut cliff on the left). The fastest water is nearer the cliff. So position your boat towards the left hand bank and get one third of the river between the boat and the left hand bank, two thirds of the river on your right hand side. After the corner you're on the straight - re-position the boat so you are in the middle 50:50 of the river on each side of the boat. Rowing against the stream - it's the opposite Steering is likely what you won't have problems with as you are an experienced steerer. 05:00 Motivating the crew Have two calls - technical call - pressure call (working harder). What motivates your crew and what they are skilled at doing. The pressure call will increase your boat speed. Your job is to work out what the right technique call is that supports the pressure call. Speak to the coach and crew - what are the aspects of the stroke technique which they find harder to do when they're tired. You only need ONE technical call. Use the calls in combination - pressure followed by technique or vice versa. If you do the technique call first - improve the technique over 10 strokes and then follow that up with a pressure call so they hold onto the technical aspect while they add the pressure. Or do pressure first to increase the boat speed and then use the technique call to maintain the higher boat speed afterwards. You must practice this in training. 08:30 Landmarks When to use these calls in the race? Landmarks like a building, a bridge or a bend in the river are good markers. If the landmark includes a steering change - you have to do the call before you start to steer because the boat slows when you steer. Get increased speed before the steering manoeuvre. As you finish the steering, do another call as you are straight and have passed the landmark. Get the crew to look at the bridge / landmark so they can see it moving into the distance. 10:30 Quarter the race You have to know what's the beginning and end of each section. Have a focus for each quarter. 1 - off the start and into race rhythm 2 - maintain boat speed, good run & efficient movement 3 - make it hard on the competitors to get past you. 4 - push for the finish Other things - overtaking / being overtaken. Build these into your race plan. "Walking" the crew past another crew - what to say. 13:45 Speed as a horizontal line Your average speed in the race - the boat speed will change. Your job is to take the crew back up to the horizontal ideal speed line. A good cox can motivate and encourage. Do not talk all the time - silence for 5-10 strokes gives the crew greater focus and clarity of purpose when you do speak. Give the crew enough time to do the things you have called - 10 strokes minimum. You must be able to judge how many strokes it takes the crew to cover a certain distance. Look at a landmark and estimate the stroke count - practice on your home course against a buoy or tree. You must be accurate to decide when to start the call as you lead into landmarks and the finishing sprint.
