The fiat money system has survived the Great Inflation, the global financial crisis, and a pandemic. But can it survive digital currencies?Bitcoin and the blockchain solved a genuine problem in computer science: how to stop people spending the same money twice. Forty years of successful inflation control means central bank money is stable; that is the stability in stablecoins, attempting to solve the volatility problem. What's next? What if the unit of account itself were indexed to consumer prices? Digitalisation might finally make that approach viable at scale. Price stability, by design.Will we still need cash? Maybe not now, But if you never use it, it may not be there if the blackout comes.The research behind this episode:Stracca, Livio. 2025. Redefining the Monetary Standard in the Digital Age: Digital Innovations and the Future of Monetary Policy. Springer Nature.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Livio Stracca. 2026. "Redefining the monetary standard." VoxTalks Economics (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestLivio Stracca is Deputy Director General for International and European Relations at the European Central Bank, where he has worked for more than two decades. His research spans monetary economics, international finance, and the implications of digitalisation for central banking, with extensive work on exchange rates, capital flows, and the architecture of the international monetary system. Research cited in this episodeThe double-spend problem. The fundamental challenge in any decentralised digital payment system: how to prevent a participant from spending the same unit of money twice when there is no trusted central authority to verify transactions. Bitcoin's 2008 white paper offered an innovative solution by making the transaction ledger public, cumulative, and computationally expensive to rewrite. The trade-off is that transparency sacrifices privacy; every transaction is visible to all participants in the network.The blockchain. A distributed ledger in which transactions are grouped into sequential blocks, each cryptographically linked to the one before. Reversing any transaction requires rewriting every subsequent block, which demands enormous computational effort. This design solves the double-spend problem in a decentralised network but makes the system slow and costly to operate at scale.The payment trilemma. A framework discussed in the episode and in Stracca's book: any digital payment system can optimise for at most two of three properties simultaneously (universal access, security against fraudulent transactions, and privacy). Cash is the only instrument that escapes the trilemma; digital systems must accept a trade-off among the three, and the choice is often made implicitly by the designer of the system rather than through democratic deliberation.Hayek, Friedrich A. 1976. Denationalisation of Money. London: Institute of Economic Affairs. The classic argument for currency competition: let currencies compete freely and the one providing the most stable prices will win. Economists, including Milton Friedman, largely rejected the proposal on the grounds that money exhibits strong network externalities; the more people use a currency, the more attractive it becomes to the next user, producing a natural tendency towards monopoly. A formal modern revisitation, finding similar conclusions, is Fernández-Villaverde, Jesús, and Daniel Sanches. 2019. "Can Currency Competition Work?" Journal of Political Economy 127 (3): 1017 to 1058.Irving Fisher's compensated dollar. A proposal published in Fisher, Irving. 1913. "A Compensated Dollar." Quarterly Journal of Economics 27 (2): 213–235 (the same year the Federal Reserve was created). Fisher argued for a dollar whose purchasing power was held constant by adjusting its gold content in line with prices. The mechanical details of his proposal are no longer relevant, but its animating idea (indexing the unit of account to a price level) has gained new plausibility in a digital context.The Unidad de Fomento. Chile's inflation-indexed unit of account, in operation since 1967 and updated daily against the consumer price index. It is used widely in long-term contracts, including mortgages, and functions as a security that can be traded. Stracca cites it as evidence that an indexed monetary standard is operationally feasible, and as a prototype for what a digital equivalent might look like at larger scale.The Great Moderation. The period of low and stable inflation in advanced economies running roughly from the mid-1980s until the inflation episode of 2021 to 2023. Economists attribute it to improved monetary policy frameworks, particularly central bank independence, inflation targeting, and (crucially, in Stracca's account) the introduction of interest on reserves, which gave central banks precise control over the short-term interest rate without draining liquidity. Stracca treats the Great Moderation as the benchmark against which any proposed reform of the monetary standard must be judged.Programmable money. A form of digital money in which payment is conditional on an independently verifiable event, potentially confirmed by a machine rather than a human intermediary. Example: a payment that executes automatically when a delivery is confirmed by a sensor. Decentralised ledgers make such conditional payments technically straightforward; traditional banking systems can approximate them but with far greater friction. Stracca notes significant enthusiasm for programmable money but also real scepticism about whether the benefits outweigh the complexity in practice.More VoxTalks Economics episodesStablecoins and Global Imbalances, Gilles Moëc explains why we can think of stablecoins as a radical macroeconomic experiment that has arrived at exactly the moment the US external position is showing signs of stress.Can blockchain decentralise money, contracts, and finance?

O svetima Ćirilu i Metodu, kristijanizaciji, kulturi i identitetu govori Livio Marijan.
"Donde crean un desierto, lo llaman paz". Con esta crudeza definía Tácito el expansionismo de una Roma que, bajo su mirada, había cambiado la libertad por la tiranía. En este nuevo episodio de Antena Historia, nos alejamos de los relatos idealizados para diseccionar la obra de Cornelio Tácito, el historiador que se atrevió a mirar directamente a los ojos de los Césares y desvelar las oscuras ambiciones que se escondían tras el mármol del Palatino. 🏛️ En este episodio analizaremos: El Senador que sabía demasiado: La vida de Tácito bajo el terror de Domiciano y cómo esa experiencia marcó su visión pesimista y aguda de la política romana. Los Anales y las Historias: Un recorrido por sus obras maestras. Desde la locura de Nerón y la hipocresía de Tiberio hasta la influencia de mujeres poderosas como Agripina. Germania: El espejo del bárbaro: ¿Por qué Tácito escribió sobre las tribus del Rin? Analizamos su descripción geográfica de una tierra indómita y su uso de los germanos como un reproche moral a la decadencia de Roma. Anatomía de la Tiranía: Las características que Tácito resalta en los emperadores: el disimulo, la paranoia y la corrupción del carácter por el poder absoluto. El Legado del "Tacitismo": Cómo su obra se convirtió en el manual de supervivencia para políticos y pensadores desde el Renacimiento hasta la Ilustración. 📜 Pasajes y Reflexiones: Contaremos con lecturas dramáticas de sus pasajes más potentes, incluyendo su famosa descripción de la moral germánica frente a la corrupción romana y su desgarrador análisis sobre el fin de la libertad. ¿Eres de los que prefiere la luz de Livio o las sombras de Tácito?

¿Cómo se construye la identidad de un imperio que acaba de emerger de sus propias cenizas? En este nuevo episodio de Antena Historia, nos adentramos en la vida y la obra monumental de Tito Livio, el historiador que no solo registró los hechos de la Antigua Roma, sino que le dio una narrativa épica y una brújula moral en un momento crítico de su existencia. 🏛️ En este episodio exploraremos: La Roma de la Postguerra: El traumático escenario del Segundo Triunvirato, las proscripciones y el ascenso de Augusto. Entenderemos por qué la sociedad romana necesitaba desesperadamente una nueva historia en la que creer. Ab Urbe Condita: Analizamos su obra maestra. Desde los mitos fundacionales de Rómulo y Remo hasta la crudeza de las Guerras Púnicas. ¿Por qué solo conservamos 35 de sus 142 libros? El Retrato de Aníbal: Cómo Livio construyó la imagen del mayor enemigo de Roma, mezclando la admiración por su genio militar con el pavor por su "crueldad inhumana". Historia como Medicina: La visión de Livio no era solo informar, sino sanar. Descubrimos su enfoque moralista y cómo figuras como Cincinato se convirtieron en modelos de virtud para las generaciones venideras. Legado Eterno: De la Pax Romana al Renacimiento de Maquiavelo. ¿Por qué seguimos leyendo a Livio dos mil años después?

Elena Zucchi"Il tempo degli inganni"Arkadia Editorewww.arkadiaeditore.itArianna Radice è una psicoterapeuta milanese quarantenne, segnata da una storia complessa. Convivono in lei zone d'ombra e un'inquietudine che si esprimono soprattutto in una vita sentimentale confusa e disordinata. Vive nel quartiere Martesana dove è cresciuta con la stravagante zia Bertilla, dopo essere rimasta orfana a quattordici anni. In un pomeriggio di primavera si presenta da lei un nuovo paziente, tal Livio Ferrari, che soffre di un problema di deglutizione che non deriva da cause organiche e che Arianna scopre essere il marito di Malena Malè, sua migliore amica del liceo con cui aveva interrotto la relazione in modo brusco e doloroso venticinque anni prima. L'incontro con Livio riporta Arianna indietro nel tempo, alla morte dei genitori, di cui si attribuisce la colpa, e a un trauma adolescenziale a causa di un drammatico episodio che vede coinvolta proprio Malena. Mentre cerca di aiutare Livio a guarire dal suo disturbo, Arianna sviluppa un interesse morboso verso la vita della sua ex migliore amica e un forte desiderio di vendetta che desidera mettere in atto. Da qui in avanti la tensione tra passato e presente giungerà al culmine, portando infine Arianna a chiudere i conti in sospeso, tra dolorosi segreti e verità inaspettate.Elena Zucchi, è laureata in Lettere Moderne presso l'Università Cattolica di Milano, ha poi conseguito un dottorato di ricerca in Psicologia presso l'Università degli Studi di Genova.

Here at Oxley Bom, everyone knows that the thing we're most famous for are our 'charming' personalities. Like, we can promise we don't physically bite - but that's about the limit of what we can guarentee. So you'll understand when I say it is a great honor to have an actual returning guest to our show! Who is this dauntless fellow? Why, it's the awesome Livio Suppo! For those not in the know (or those who haven't listened to our interview two years ago) we should probably tell you that Livio is an actual real-life legend in the pit, leading teams for Ducati, Honda and Suzuki. Oh, and he worked with some small riders like Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez. I don't know, you might have heard of them...So get ready to hear some insights from our man on the inside – but be warned, because this week we're taking no prisoners! Want more?

"Kršćani su pozvani njegovati svoju dušu, hraniti ju molitvom, riječju Božjom, sakramentima, izgrađivanjem vrlina kao što su dobrota, empatija, ljubav, praštanje, poniznost, pravednost, istinoljubivost, blagost, miroljubivost. Sve to iziskuje pažnje, vremena i žrtve, ali bez toga, kao i kod higijene tijela nema i ne može biti njegovane duše." Livio Marijan
We have two operations from J5 - Guinea-BissauFirst - DA1DX, Ben, the organizer of the J51A DXpedition to Guinea-Bissau in February/March 2026, shares several updates. The ARRL has approved the J51A license for DXCC, and the LoTW certificate has been received. After clarifying frequency and mode permissions with the national authority and confirming alignment with IARU Region 1 Band Plans, all standard bands and modes-including 160m, 60m, WARC bands, and 50 MHz-are confirmed valid for DXCC, IOTA, and other awards. The DXpedition is entirely privately funded, with RF-POWER lending five amplifiers and all other equipment privately owned. Ben invites donations via Club Log OQRS and provides a link for more information. https://www.qrz.com/db/J51A Secondly, J52EC is on until February 28th by operator IZ3BUR, Livio. He has an IC-7410, 100 watts, to a 3-element Yagi on 20, 15 and 10.TL - Central African Republic & TT – Chad - TJ1GD, Darek, has established permanent amateur radio stations in the Central African Republic and in Chad, which are maintained locally. These stations (TL8GD and TT1GD), licensed to Darek, operate periodically-often remotely using FT8, CW, and SSB. QSL confirmations are available via LoTW and Club Log.KP5/NP3VI, Desecheo Island - KP5/NP3VI is now 2 weeks into its planned 30-day operation. Their latest published statistics are as follows: Over 55,000 QSOs are in the log, with 91.1 percent of the QSOs with North American and Europe. CN - Morocco - F6FYD, Yannick, expects to return to Morocco next week. In early March he also has plans to go to Mogador Island (AF-065), Agadir, and El Jadida and has the callsign CN2YD.FG – Guadeloupe - TF1OL, Olafur, will be live from Guadeloupe starting Wednesday next week for approximately seven days. No word on what callsign he will be using. Following the stay in Guadeloupe, plans to visit other islands are pending permission to operate.TZ - Mali - The next TZ1CE by DK1CE, Ulmar, is February 10 to March 1. He will be doing mostly FT8 and SSB and says when he's on FT8 he gives stations outside Europe precedent at all times. He plans special attention to 160M FT8, 80M FT8 and 6M and will update daily on Club Log, the LoTW log will be after the operation, and in Mali 60M operation is not allowed.FG - Guadeloupe - FG/F6HMQ, Tildas, and FG/F6GWV, Mike, are there for another week or so, with a pair of IC-7300 radios, to vertical wires. "Holiday style," they are 60-10M SSB, FT4 and FT8. LoTW confirmations will be available within a few days. YU – Serbia - This year is the 170th anniversary of Nikola Tesla's birth. Stations in the Amateur Radio Union of Serbia are authorized to use callsign YT170TESLA through the end of this year.XU - Cambodia - DL7BO, Tom, will once again be QRV as XU7O from February 7-21, reports DX News.S9 - Sao Tome & Principe – S53BV is QRV as S9BV until February 20, holiday style "from a quiet location," Borut, will be on with an IC-7000 to verticals and dipoles. He plans to be on 60, 40, 30 and 15 CW and SSB. On 30, 40 and 60M CW, target frequencies are 10110, 7005 and 5351.5. Direct QSLs will be answered when he's back home. Club Log OQRS will be available, with limited internet access while there and "postal challenges." He will apparently give special instructions later.Until next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support. I Hope to hear you in the pileups! Have a great DX week!

"Kršćani se u svim svojim razmišljanjima uvijek oslanjaju na Boga!" Livio Marijan
Livio Gambarini"La ribelle di Dio"Le cronache dei ViscontiEdizioni Piemmewww.edizpiemme.itA.D. 1302. Margherita da Arco sogna una fede pura, ma scopre ben presto che la Chiesa di papa Bonifacio VIII è fatta più di catene che di ideali. Il suo incontro con fra Dolcino, predicatore rivoluzionario che tratta le donne proprio come gli uomini e ha il coraggio di puntare il dito contro chi usa Dio solo per giustificare le proprie brame, è destinato a scuotere la Cristianità intera. Mentre gli Apostoli di Margherita e Dolcino guadagnano adepti e potere, l'esiliato Matteo Visconti vaga tra le corti lombarde e gli accampamenti militari, schiacciato dal ricordo del rogo che gli ha strappato l'amore. Ferito e ridotto all'ombra di sé stesso, interrogherà un templare sospettato di praticare arti proibite, alla ricerca di risposte che potrebbero costargli la scomunica. In un intreccio di eresie e passioni, di battaglie e visioni mistiche, La ribelle di Dio porta il lettore nel cuore della Lombardia medievale, dove il destino di un popolo si gioca tra fede e violenza, amori impossibili e rivalità senza tregua. Livio Gambarini torna al romanzo storico e continua la grande narrazione inaugurata con La papessa di Milano. Un progetto ambizioso, animato da un autore capace di unire una strepitosa attenzione allo studio delle fonti a una scrittura di chiarezza e precisione non comuni, che trasporta il lettore nei palazzi di potere del passato tra intrighi, amori brucianti e battaglie.Livio GambariniBergamasco classe 1986, è scrittore e divulgatore di Medioevo italiano. Da anni insegna narratologia e tecniche di scrittura in corsi, seminari e sessioni di mentorship; fondatore della realtà per aspiranti scrittori di "Rotte Narrative", è docente al corso di Alta Formazione "Il Piacere della Scrittura" dell'Università Cattolica di Milano. Già noto per Eternal War, la sua saga fantasy-storica su Dante e Guido Cavalcanti, tra i suoi altri interessi figurano la narrazione di GDR e videogiochi.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Francesco Abate"Gli indegni"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itA sedici anni Livio esce di casa senza scarpe, e scappa. Non ne può piú delle gabbie della sua famiglia e vuole andare a Firenze ad ascoltare Patti Smith. Non è un capobranco, piuttosto un mediano. È un ragazzo entusiasta, magari un po' goffo: ripete sempre «Livio da Cagliari» a chiunque gli chieda chi sia. Al concerto incontra Anaïs, spregiudicata e magnetica, e se ne innamora alla follia. Lei lo inizia alle droghe, al divertimento oltre ogni limite, alla libertà sessuale, trascinandolo in una nuova epoca della sua esistenza, dal punk all'house music, dai gay club alle affollate disco arcobaleno. Con Anaïs Livio comincia anche a frequentare la casa di Cesare, un uomo gentile che accoglie sotto il suo tetto gli «indegni»: artisti bohémien e giovani che non si arrendono ai modelli di vita imposti dalla società. Anaïs però corre troppo veloce, e Livio la perde subito, la ritrova e la perde altre mille volte. Per un decennio tenta di raggiungerla senza mai riuscirci davvero, cercandola ostinato nel corpo di chiunque incontri. La ritroverà a Parigi, Londra, poi di nuovo a Cagliari, ma sempre piú smarrita in un vortice di sesso e droghe, di relazioni sbagliate e passi falsi. Fino a un epilogo inatteso e commovente. Fatevene una ragione, siamo indegni. Ma voi siete giovani. Siete ancora in tempo, se volete. Camuffatevi. Barate. Indossate una veste che vi protegga e non vi sveli, nascondetevi tra le persone, mentite a loro, a voi. Nessuno escluso. Però, badate: non ho la certezza che questo vi possa salvare dall'infelicità.Francesco Abate (Cagliari, 1964). Ha esordito con Mister Dabolina (Castelvecchi, 1998). Sono seguiti Il cattivo cronista (Il Maestrale, 2003), Ultima di campionato, da un soggetto vincitore del premio Solinas (Il Maestrale, 2004/ Frassinelli 2006), Getsemani (Frassinelli, 2006) e I ragazzi di città (Il Maestrale, 2007). Con Einaudi ha pubblicato Mi fido di te (2007 e 2015), scritto a quattro mani con Massimo Carlotto, Cosí si dice (2008), Chiedo scusa (con Saverio Mastrofranco, 2010, 2012 e 2017), Un posto anche per me (2013), Mia madre e altre catastrofi (2016), Torpedone trapiantati (2018) e Gli indegni (2025). Con I delitti della salina (2020 e 2023) ha debuttato una nuova protagonista femminile nel giallo italiano, la giornalista investigativa Clara Simon, le cui avventure proseguono con Il complotto dei Calafati (2022) e Il misfatto della tonnara (2023). È fra gli autori dell'antologia benefica Sei per la Sardegna (Einaudi 2014, con Alessandro De Roma, Marcello Fois, Salvatore Mannuzzu, Michela Murgia e Paola Soriga).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Trotzige Kinder, Gewaltausbrüche, Panikattacken, überforderte Eltern und Fachstellen. Was bedeutet es für Familien, wenn Kinder auf jegliche Anforderungen mit Blockaden oder gewalttätigen Wutausbrüchen reagieren? Der 9-jährige Livio ist ein lieber, aufgeweckter Junge – solange er bestimmen kann. Werden an ihn aber Anforderungen gestellt, kann er ausrasten. Seine Eltern und Fachpersonen sind überfordert. Auch die 15-jährige Emilia und der 5-jährige Lion zeigen ein ähnliches Verhalten. Neuere Forschungen begründen die extreme Vermeidung von Anforderungen neurologisch. Das Syndrom wird PDA genannt (Pathological Demand Avoidance, eine krankhafte Vermeidung von Anforderungen). Ob es mit einer Autismus-Spektrum-Störung im Zusammenhang steht, ist umstritten. PDA ist im deutschsprachigen Raum noch wenig erforscht. Schätzungen gehen davon aus, dass nur wenige Kinder von PDA betroffen sind. Umso gravierender sind aber die Folgen für Familien und Umfeld. SRF DOK porträtiert Kinder und Jugendliche, die wegen ihrer PDA-Verhaltensstörung jedes System ans Limit bringen. Erstausstrahlung: 27.11.2025

It's not a great time for international cooperation right now and, with hindsight, was the period from 2017 to 2022 a “golden moment” the climate transition, and was it an opportunity missed? That's the argument presented by Livio Stracca, Deputy Director General Financial Stability at the European Central Bank, also the chair of NGFS work on climate scenarios. He talks to Tim Phillips about what we can learn from this golden moment, and what can be done this time around to avoid the dangers of what Livio calls “climate agenda fatigue” among both the public and governments.
Happy Halloween!! In this year-end episode, Livio returns to discuss the Vincent Price classic from 1958 "The Fly". The film stars David Hedison, Herbert Marshall, and Patricia Owens. This is a late 50's classic that blends science fiction and horror together, offering a great and tragic story behind it all. Enjoy your Halloween this year and listen to us discuss "The Fly"!
Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
Certain features of our universe seem unnatural to us. These include "constants of nature" such as the cosmological constant and the mass of the Higgs boson, as well as features of the initial conditions like the curvature of space and the initial entropy. But they can't truly be "unnatural" -- they are literally features of Nature itself. Some have turned to the anthropic principle and the multiverse, while others look to theism for an explanation. I talk here about my views on the various attitudes one might take toward these apparent fine-tunings, and why it is important to think about them.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/10/06/331-solo-fine-tuning-god-and-the-multiverse/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Some readings of relevance:Livio and Rees, Fine-Tuning, Complexity, and Life in the MultiverseCarroll, In What Sense Is the Early Universe Fine-Tuned?Barnes, A Reasonable Little Question: A Formulation of the Fine-Tuning ArgumentGoff, Our Improbable Existence Is No Evidence for a MultiverseNeal, Puzzles of Anthropic Reasoning Resolved Using Full Non-indexical ConditioningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Get to know Borgo Pass Horror Podcast's #1 co-host, Livio Merino!
A large spooky mansion on an isolated, foggy island. A dramatic situation with allegations of embezzlement and murder. George Zucco. Lionel Atwill. All the ingredients that classic horror fans yearn for. A PRC production from 1945 features a fun, if not predictable story. Jim & Livio are your tour guides this episode to the ominous, and dangerous Fog Island. A good story, a good supporting cast led by Ian Keith - this is a PRC film that deserves the Borgo Pass treatment!
Livio Stracca, Phd joins host Deborah Kidd, CFA, to introduce the innovative NGFS Short-Term Climate Scenarios. This groundbreaking tool is the first publicly available global resource designed to assess climate-related macroeconomic and sector risks over a five-year horizon for specific regions and industries. The scenarios demonstrate how extreme weather, policy shifts, and transition shocks could impact GDP, inflation, default probabilities, and financial stability within a time frame aligned with the decision-making process of central banks and financial institutions.
Jim & Livio tackle one story across two movies - we cover the Tod Browning & Lon Chaney silent classic West of Zanibar. We also touch on the 1932 remake, Kongo staring Walter Huston. Our main focus is on West of Zanibar - a very modern and stylistic Tod Browning/Lon Chaney collaboration that also features Lionel Barrymore. While this isn't a supernatural style horror film, it's a dark thriller with many twists and turns. Enjoy the ride as the Borgo Pass travels West of Zanibar!
This... is the Inner Sanctum! Join Jim & Livio as they again travel into the mind of a man going mad with the thought of having murdered someone. This 1944 Inner Sanctum movie stars Lon Chaney, Jr, Martin Kosleck, Douglass Dumbrille, and Milburn Stone. Jim & Livio break down the story, performances, and production history in this episode. Yes, even you without knowing... can commit murder!
On today's episode, Jim & Livio sit down with Thomas Hamilton. Tom made the documentary "Boris Karloff: Man Behind The Monster", and is now in production on "Vincent Price: The Art of Living". Tom shares with us stories of how this came to be, we discuss Price throughout his career, as well as touching on several other people that intersected with his life. Tom has a Kickstarter campaign out now for this project - check out the details, and enjoy the episode!

Join Jim & Livio as they once again travel to Paris and are witness to the crimes of the person known as 'Bluebeard'. Made in 1944 and directed by Edgar G. Ulmer (The Black Cat, 1934) and starring John Carradine. Carradine delivers one of his finest performances as the tortured, yet evil Gaston Morrell. The film also stars Jean Parker, Nils Asther, Ludwig Stossel, and Sonia Sorrell. What on the surface seems like a typical 1940's PRC quickie horror movie, it quickly turns to a fantastically dark, moody, and deep horror film. This is truly a hidden gem of the 40's horror cycle! We discuss the movie itself, the actors, Ulmer, and the production. You don't want to miss this!

We've got a special guest this week, and if you've seen the title of this podcast you can probably guess who it is......that's right, it's the return of the legendary Livio Suppo! So, what's on the menu today? Well, we're gearing up for what promises to be a spectacular season and we don't know what the outcome will be. There's top riders being positioned into intense rivalries, there's old paddock mainstays like KTM in dire, dire straits and there's technology that can make all the difference...if you can get your hands on it. Add to that the future passing of the reigns from Dorna to Liberty Media, and it becomes clear that this is the start of an era that's becoming stranger and more interesting by the day. We don't know what's going to happen - but we have Livio's number, so let's give him a ring and pick his brain about things. Shall we? Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

The origin of life on Earth has been mulled over by scientists for centuries. We now know that life's building blocks are RNA, amino acids, and cells. But if life originated from the primordial ooze of early Earth, could that process be unfolding elsewhere in the universe?The search for life elsewhere in the universe is at the center of the book Is Earth Exceptional?: The Quest for Cosmic Life, by Mario Livio and Jack Szostak. Dr. Livio, an astrophysicist previously with the Space Telescope Science Institute, which operates the Hubble Space Telescope, joins Ira to talk about the possibilities of life beyond Earth, and where we would most likely find it.Read an excerpt of Is Earth Exceptional?: The Quest for Cosmic Life.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Does life exist beyond Earth, or is our planet genuinely unique? Can we recreate the origins of life in a lab? And what role does Mars play in the quest for cosmic life? I had the extraordinary honor of discussing this with two outstanding scientists, Mario Livio and Jack Szostak. Mario and Jack just released their new book, Is Earth Exceptional?, which seeks to answer whether life is a freak accident or a chemical inevitability. Tune in and join us for this mesmerizing exploration! Mario Livio is an astrophysicist and author known for his work in cosmology and his popular science books. Livio has significantly contributed to our understanding of dark energy, black holes, and other cosmic phenomena. Jack Szostak is a prominent biologist and Nobel Laureate known for his significant contributions to understanding life's fundamental processes. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009, along with Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider, for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.
