This episode is part of the AI Summary series covering the AI Search Manual chapter by chapter. Chapter 20 explores the future of AI-first discovery and how advanced Generative Experience Optimization (GEO) will shape the next era of search.The discussion looks at how search is moving beyond the keyboard into multimodal experiences like voice, visual, and embodied search, with projects like Google Astra and Mariner showing what assistants can do in real time. We also dig into hyper-personalization, persistent memory across sessions, and open protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication, which enable AI systems to collaborate and share context.The episode closes by examining what this means for content creators and brands: discovery no longer stops at ranking on a page, but extends to being selected as a trusted source or service by an AI agent. As the manual concludes, one thing is clear—optimization now means preparing for a world where AI doesn't just answer but decides and acts.Read the full chapter at ipullrank.com/ai-search-manual

In this latest installment of Unidentified History, the guys begin by discussing some of the latest news in the world of UAPs/UFOs. 3i/atlas remains a mystery, racing through the solar system and generating more questions than answers. The guys offer their own thoughts on whether there could be any truth to the idea that this is anything more than a comet. Speaking of mysteries, the Nazca mummies also remain an enigma. Largely considered hoaxes, a recent documentary by Jesse Michels of American Alchemy added significant credibility to the idea that some of the mummies might be real tridactyls after all. **For more information about the tridactyls, please make sure to check out https://tridactyls.org/ ** Meanwhile, a new UAP hearing looms on the horizon and is slated to take place on September 9th. Reactions to the witnesses expected to testify have been rather tepid thus far. Is this justified, or is everyone pre-judging a hearing that has the potential to be critically crucial to UAP Disclosure? In the second half of the show, the guys do a deep dive into one of the more bizarre cases involving the Bermuda Triangle, Flight 19. On December 5, 1945, five US Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers vanished from the face of the Earth without a trace. A search and rescue Mariner flying boat also vanished. No wreckage or debris has ever been found, and 27 lives were lost. What might have happened? Was it all just pilot error? Was it all attributable to equipment malfunction? Did the squadron leader panic and doom himself and his colleagues to their fate? Or was something anomalous involved? The guys take a deep dive into this fascinating event and explore the possibilities, including rogue waves, government cover-ups, the similarities between Flight 19 and two other very odd vanishings in the Triangle, and the fact that one of the most active USO hotspots in the world just so happens to pretty much span one of the legs of the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most mysterious locations in the world, and Flight 19 might be the most bizarre of all the many oddities that the Triangle has produced over the years.Once thought to be solely the stuff of science fiction, UAPs (UFOs) are very real to thousands around the world. In 2021, the US Government confirmed that leaked UAP video was legitimate. Ever since, there has been an explosion of interest in the topic. Yet, we are no closer to understanding UAPs, where they come from, or who/what is behind the phenomenon. In this new series, we look to bridge the gap between the past and present by looking at some of the most important UAP sightings in history and determining whether the question of "are we alone in the universe?" might have already been answered.About the Chairshot Radio NetworkLaunched in 2017, the Chairshot Radio Network presents you with the best in sports, entertainment, and sports entertainment.

Texas Farmer Ditches Cotton for Sheep, Finds Success Grazing on Solar Farms In a dusty field in Texas, Chad Raines is living a new reality — as a shepherd. After four generations of cotton farming, Raines faced years of bad harvests and rising debt, forcing him to rethink his future and to think outside the box. That led him to a growing trend called solar grazing, where farmers rent out sheep to keep vegetation in check at solar farms. Raines now works with Enel North America, helping manage one of the largest solar farms in the U.S., near Waco. The sheep are the perfect lawn mowers, working in all conditions, day or night, even when it's muddy or rainy. While small farms across the country struggle—40% operated at a loss last year—Raines has found success. By grazing 6,000 sheep across 20,000 acres, he turned a profit of nearly $300,000, compared to a loss of $200,000 had he stuck with cotton. It's a profitable venture that also supports his family's future, as his sons are set to join the business. From struggling farmer to thriving shepherd, Raines is a prime example of adapting to change in the world of agriculture.

Researchers looked at data from nearly 5,000 adults in the American Gut Project and found that people who ate lean red meat within a healthy eating plan had better levels of nutrients that support brain health — things like choline, selenium, vitamin B12, and zinc. They also had greater gut microbial diversity, which is linked to overall well-being. Samitinjaya Dhakal, the lead researcher, says the takeaway isn't to cut out red meat entirely, but to focus on balanced, high-quality diets where lean meat can play a positive role. The study was supported by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and could help reshape how we think about red meat in healthy eating.

California has long reigned as the land of plenty, a place where the sun always shines and opportunity beckons. Even prior to its statehood in 1850, it captured the world's imagination. We think of bearded prospectors lured by the promise of gold; we imagine its early embrace of immigrant labor during the railroad boom as prologue to its diverse social fabric today. But what lies underneath the myth is far more complicated. Thanks to extensive research by Michael Hiltzik, one of our longstanding voices on California, Golden State: The Making of California (Mariner Books, 2025) uncovers the unvarnished truth about the state we think we know well. From Spanish incursions into what became known as Alta California to the rise of Big Tech, the history of California is one of stark contradictions. In rich, previously overlooked detail, we see its earliest statesmen wreak havoc among native peoples while racing to draft their own constitution even ahead of statehood. Gold-hungry settlers venture into the Sierra foothills only to leave with little, while a handful of their suppliers turn themselves into millionaire railroad magnates. Wars erupt in the name of water as Los Angeles booms, and early efforts to tame the vast landscape create a haven for fossil fuel extraction and environmental conservation alike. Hollywood politicians stoke fear, contributing to a centuries-long tradition of anti-Asian violence, and, remarkably, legal redlining and free higher education take root together. Golden State brings a fresh critical eye to the origins of the state against which the rest of the country measures itself. From its very start, Hiltzik shows, the story of the United States was written in California. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Were the Martian canals real? For decades, some of the world's most respected astronomers and newspapers answered with a resounding YES. But how did a simple misunderstanding spiral into a global belief in an advanced, dying civilization on the Red Planet? This episode unwraps the incredible story of the turn-of-the-century Martian craze, a period when fact and fiction blurred, and humanity collectively looked to the stars, convinced someone was looking back. We explore how this mania began, who its biggest champions were, and how the idea of intelligent Martians shaped science and culture forever.This deep dive into the history of our obsession with Mars is guided by acclaimed author David Baron, whose book "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America" chronicles this fascinating era. We begin with the story's surprising European origins, specifically with Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli and his 1877 observations of "canali" on the Martian surface. A critical mistranslation of Giovanni Schiaparelli canali (Italian for "channels") into "canals" in English ignited the public imagination with the possibility of artificial structures. This idea was popularized by French astronomer and author Camille Flammarion, but it was an American who would become the theory's most fervent and influential advocate: Percival Lowell.Born into a wealthy Boston family, Percival Lowell dedicated his fortune and his life to proving the existence of an intelligent Martian race. We detail the astonishingly complex Percival Lowell Mars theory, which proposed that Mars was an old, drying planet and its inhabitants had built a planet-wide irrigation system—the Martian canals—to channel water from the polar ice caps to their desert cities. To prove it, Lowell founded the iconic Lowell Observatory in Arizona and even funded a massive expedition to Chile to capture the first-ever photographs of the canals, which he presented as undeniable proof. This led to a major rift in the scientific community, dividing astronomers into "canalists" and "anti-canalists."The belief in Martians wasn't just confined to scientific circles; it exploded into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. We discuss the immense impact of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, a "scientific romance" that terrified and thrilled readers. Baron reveals how American newspapers, in a bout of Yellow Press sensationalism, pirated and serialized the story, localizing the invasion to New York and Boston and presenting it almost as a news report—a tactic Orson Welles would later famously use for his 1938 radio broadcast. The fervor grew so intense that in 1924, the U.S. military was convinced to enforce national radio silence to listen for signals from the Red Planet. So, what was the final nail in the coffin for the Martian canals? Baron explains how astronomer Eugène Michel Antoniadi's crystal-clear observations in 1909 and, ultimately, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft flyby in the 1960s, finally disproved the theory, revealing a cratered, lifeless landscape where canals were once drawn. This entire episode serves as a powerful look into the turn-of-the-century Martian craze and how it left an indelible mark on science fiction, inspiring figures like Robert H. Goddard and Carl Sagan and shaping our dreams of outer space to this day.About Our Guest:David Baron is an author and science journalist who specializes in telling gripping historical tales about the history of astronomy.

In rich, previously overlooked detail, we see its earliest statesmen wreak havoc among native peoples while racing to draft their own constitution even ahead of statehood. Gold-hungry settlers venture into the Sierra foothills only to leave with little, while a handful of their suppliers turn themselves into millionaire railroad magnates. Wars erupt in the name of water as Los Angeles booms, and early efforts to tame the vast landscape create a haven for fossil fuel extraction and environmental conservation alike. Hollywood politicians stoke fear, contributing to a centuries-long tradition of anti-Asian violence, and, remarkably, legal redlining and free higher education take root together. Golden State brings a fresh critical eye to the origins of the state against which the rest of the country measures itself. From its very start, Hiltzik shows, the story of the United States was written in California. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Waterworld Directed by Kevin Reynolds Starring Kevin Costner After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland. The Net Directed by Irwin Winkler Starring Sandra Bullock Computer programmer Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) starts a new freelance gig and, strangely, all her colleagues start dying. Does it have something to do with the mysterious disc she was given? Her suspicions are raised when, during a trip to Mexico, she's seduced by a handsome stranger (Jeremy Northam) intent on locating the same disc. Soon Angela is tangled up in a far-reaching conspiracy that leads to her identity being erased. Can she stop the same thing from happening to her life?

Bob and Dave are live at the VMAC to give you their biggest takeaways from Seahawks Training camp, including what they’ve seen from the offensive line and the second season of Mike Macdonald’s defense, and they break down whether the Mariner will be able to continue their hot streak on their three-city road trip. 

Dennis and Brady kick off their camp series to talk Mariner football, joined by head coach Daryn Letson, O-line coach Joe Fregetto, and captains Lyncoln Osterland and Chase Ramsey to talk everything Marine City in 2025

« Objectif Mars », « Mars, la nouvelle frontière de la conquête spatiale », titre le Nouvel Obs, avec en Une, une splendide photo, celle d'une planète où se mêlent harmonieusement l'orange et le rouge. Un peu comme dans un rêve, mais ne rêvons pas trop longtemps, car la réalité se mesure en termes de puissance et d'argent. « La planète Mars est aujourd'hui le Graal intersidéral, nous dit le Nouvel Obs, le terrain des grandes puissances, avec la Chine comme nouvel acteur. L'Amérique de Trump en a fait son nouveau fétiche, promettant les premiers pas de l'homme sur Mars d'ici à 2029, avant la fin du mandat du président. »  Qu'importe si tous les scientifiques s'accordent à dire que c'est parfaitement impossible. Donald Trump y croit-il lui-même ? En tout cas, il mène le jeu comme n'importe quelle autre affaire commerciale. « Trump et ses amis de la tech mettent en danger les programmes de la Nasa basés sur la coopération internationale, pour privilégier les progrès strictement nationaux, nous explique le Nouvel Obs. « Derrière les accents triomphants annonçant la colonisation de Mars pour les prochaines années (…) se cache la captation des crédits publics par quelques "entreprises amies", celles des barons de la tech qui ont soutenu la campagne de Trump, avec en tête Elon Musk avec Space X et Jeff Bezos avec Blue Origin. ».Les passionnés, qui regardent la planète rouge avec des yeux d'enfant, en seront pour leurs frais. À lire aussiIl y a 60 ans, la sonde Mariner 4 révélait à l'humanité le vrai visage de Mars La fin de la guerre ? Après l'annonce d'une rencontre entre Trump et Poutine le 15 août en Alaska, le Journal du Dimanche (JDD) pose la question : « Et si la guerre se terminait la semaine prochaine ? », question faussement innocente, car l'analyse qui suit tend plutôt à démontrer le contraire. « Personne ne peut croire que la paix soit l'issue de ce tête-à-tête », estime le JDD. La Tribune Dimanche, de son côté, met l'accent sur ce qu'elle estime être l'ambition première de Donald Trump : « le président américain se rêve en prix Nobel de la paix, et multiplie les initiatives pour y parvenir. Le sommet du 15 août avec Vladimir Poutine est un pas de plus sur le chemin de son ambition ». À la question « le sommet du 15 août pourrait-il accoucher du plus grand succès diplomatique de la seconde présidence Trump ?  David Salvo, analyste au German Marshall Fund, interrogé par la Tribune dimanche, répond : « Washington sous-estime à quel point le Kremlin veut continuer à mener cette guerre, la légitimité et le sort du régime poutinien ne dépendent pas seulement de la fin de ce conflit aux conditions dictées par la Russie, mais à sa prolongation jusqu'à nouvel ordre, avec une économie entièrement consacrée à cette guerre ».   Bref, personne ne croit vraiment à un miracle pour le 15 août.

L'Estonie (avec moins d'1,35 million d'habitants) qui partage « 300 kilomètres de ligne de démarcation avec la Russie », « une frontière de tous les dangers, explique le Nouvel Obs, face à ce grand voisin avide de conquêtes. » « L'Otan pourrait être testée sur sa capacité à réagir "d'ici à cinq ans", répète son secrétaire général Mark Rutte », nous rappelle l'Express, qui a aussi consulté une récente étude de la Revue nationale stratégique française, « jugeant plausible une guerre majeure de haute intensité en Europe ».  Cette étude souligne aussi « que le renforcement de l'armée russe se poursuit de façon accélérée pour recompléter de nombreux matériels détruits en Ukraine, mais également pour développer de nouvelles capacités et renforcer son arsenal d'ici à 2030 ». L'Estonie, elle, ne peut guère compter que sur ses 4 000 militaires de métier et ses appelés. Et puis bien sûr, il y a l'Otan. Un officier américain, dont le régiment s'entraîne en Estonie, témoigne : « Nous sommes ici pour changer les calculs de l'adversaire, le dissuader d'une agression et respecter notre engagement de l'article 5 de l'Otan. » Article qui stipule « qu'une attaque contre un État appartenant à l'Alliance atlantique est une attaque contre tous. Et qu'elle ne restera pas sans réponse. » Mais cette perspective arrêtera-t-elle Vladimir Poutine ? Rien n'est moins sûr. « À quelle échéance les Russes pourraient-ils passer à l'action ? », interroge l'Express, qui cite une source sécuritaire, selon laquelle « les Russes n'ont pas besoin d'arrêter la guerre en Ukraine, il leur suffit d'amasser des unités à la frontière, puis de prendre une décision politique ».

The Mariners went all in — and we're here for it. On this episode of The Wing and a Prayer Podcast, we break down Seattle's aggressive trade deadline moves, including the return of Eugenio Suárez, the addition of Josh Naylor's gritty bat, and a bullpen boost with Caleb Ferguson. No Top 100 prospects were dealt, but the impact is real.We dive into the state of the American League, why this year's parity makes the Mariners' playoff push more urgent than ever, and how the front office finally backed up its promises. Plus, a deep look at the farm system post-deadline, and a celebration of Cal Raleigh's historic first half — 42 HRs and counting.This is the moment. The playoff push starts now. Let's rideA show about all things Mariner baseball.

Brady is back on a Friday, talking about the M's sweep of the White Sox and how he's energized to win the American League West now. Furthermore, what do we make of the team's bench usage, or lack thereof?Can/should the Mariners extend Randy Arozarena, and how does the impending CBA strife impact things? Then, has Trent Thornton thrown his last pitch as a Mariner?And we're joined by Everett AquaSox manager Zach Vincej for a great conversation as his team readies for a playoff run down on the farm.

HUGH MILLEN joins the show on game day to give us his thoughts on preseason game 1. Who is Hugh watching closely? Who is he most intrigued by? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - A is for alignment, as in the alignment of this lineup- no it's not set in stone, but we like the way it looks right now. - B is for base-stealing- Naylor isn't the only one stealing bases.

RUNDOWN   Piano lessons, online gambling in the Cayman Islands, and Louis Armstrong trivia. We've got it all. Mitch and Hotshot dissects Ichiro's Hall of Fame speech, particularly his omission of managers like Lou Piniella. Mitch and Hotshot Scott unpack the Mariners' blockbuster moves—bringing back Eugenio Suarez and adding Josh Naylor at the trade deadline—instantly transforming a middling offense into one of the most dangerous in baseball. They contrast the current optimism with the baffling decision to trade Suarez last year for pennies, which may have cost the team a playoff spot. With Bryce Miller returning to form after injury and the offense now averaging nearly five runs per game, the duo argues that anything less than a playoff berth would be a major disappointment for the 2025 Mariners. David Samson join Mitch and reflects on his relationship with Ichiro Suzuki after being name-checked in Ichiro's Hall of Fame speech — including a humorous jab at the Miami Marlins. Samson details their deep personal friendship, Ichiro's elite preparation and humility, and why he believes Ichiro still deserves a roster spot even today. The conversation pivots to MLB trade deadline winners and losers, with Seattle emerging as a serious AL contender, and whether Cal Raleigh's heroic season could translate into an MVP — if Judge stumbles. Samson also criticizes the anonymous voter who snubbed Ichiro from a unanimous Hall induction, calling it “cowardice. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas (Mariners No-Table) break down Seattle's pivotal week: winning three of four against Texas, the return of Eugenio Suarez, and a stretch that has them closing in on the AL West lead. The trio analyzes the revamped lineup, including Julio's hot August and Randy Arozarena in the leadoff spot, while also addressing Cal Raleigh's slump and bullpen concerns. They assess Bryce Miller's return timeline, why the team passed on Jhoan Duran, and whether George Kirby and Logan Gilbert can anchor the final playoff push. Out-on-a-limb predictions and plenty of Mariner optimism round out the episode. Brady Henderson joins Mitch Unfiltered to break down the top three storylines from Seahawks training camp: the major quarterback transition from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold, a loaded and returning defensive core with a few key injury concerns, and a possible shift in the running back hierarchy as Zach Charbonnet gains favor. Henderson also highlights emerging rookie wide receiver Tory Horton as more than just a training camp darling, weighs in on trade rumors involving Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin, and offers key insight into position group battles, injury timelines, and contract status updates.   GUESTS   David Samson | Former Miami Marlins President, Host of Nothing Personal podcast Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN.com   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mariners Fans Miss the Plot, Cayman Island Trivia, and Ichiro's Quiet Snub 26:08 | Mariners All-In: Gino's Redemption, Bryce Miller's Return, and a Loaded Lineup Sparks Playoff Hopes 41:00 | GUEST: David Samson on Ichiro's Hall of Fame Roast, Seattle's MVP Catcher, and MLB Deadline Fallout. 1:09:43 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners Hit Their Stride, Gino Returns, and Julio Ignites August Surge 1:41:00 | GUEST: Brady Henderson; Seahawks Camp Buzz: QB Shakeup, Defensive Depth, and a New WR Star? 1:56:03 | Other Stuff Segment: John Schneider contract extension, Seahawks GM performance over the last 8 years, Seahawks first-round draft picks review, Russell Wilson trade, Jamal Adams trade failure, philosophical questions about GM evaluation, Shannon Sharpe ESPN departure after legal settlement, Pete Carroll's return and fan reaction, Yankees fans caught in sexual act at stadium, Marcus Morris bad check scam at Vegas casinos, Marcus Morris jail food complaint, Eric Schmidt buys Spelling Manor for $110 million, history of Aaron and Tori Spelling, Gilbert Arenas illegal gambling ring in mansion, Poltergeist house recreated as Airbnb, Scottie Scheffler wins $18 million while not playing, PGA Tour bonus payouts.

Live from the VMAC, Bump and Stacy recap day one of Seahawks Training Camp. They talk about the Mariner’s blowout loss yesterday, another Jets QB injury, and more in Headline Rewrites. They take a look at the MLB trade market and listen to what some experts think the Mariners will do at the deadline. And they talk about what will take the Seahawks secondary to the next level.

Salk is ready for the Mariners second half to get underway and highlights who he believes the most important Mariner will be during this stretch. Then, they re-air their conversation with Joe Buck of ESPN to discuss Cal Raleigh, the Seahawks, Sam Darnold and more.

Sixty years ago this week, the Mariner 4 probe sped past Mars, the first to succeed in this then-brash undertaking. The technology was unbelievably primitive, yet effective, sending back 22 low-resolution video frames of the Red Planet. On that day, the wee hours of July 15 at JPL in Pasadena, the Mars of the romantics died. What had long been viewed as a slightly colder, somewhat drier, near-twin of Earth ended up having just a trace of an atmosphere and looked more like the moon--bone dry and pummelled by craters. Rob Manning, JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, joins us for this look back at that mission and the first images returned of another planet from space. Headlines Apollo-Soyuz 50th Anniversary: Rod and Tariq marked 50 years since the historic Apollo-Soyuz docking, a significant event for international cooperation in space. Starliner: Boeing's Starliner won't fly again until early 2026, with good odds that it will be an uncrewed flight. Mars Meteorite on Earth: Tariq shared his awe-inspiring experience viewing the largest piece of Mars on Earth, a 54-pound meteorite discovered in 2023 that recently sold for $5.3 million. Main Topic - The 60th Anniversary of Mariner 4 Rob Manning, JPL Chief Engineer Emeritus: Rob Manning joins the host to discuss his extensive career working on most of NASA's Mars missions. Mariner 4's 60th Anniversary: The show's discussion highlighted the 60th anniversary of Mariner 4, which was America's first successful spacecraft to Mars. The "Death" of Mars: Mariner 4's images shattered romantic notions of Mars, revealing a cratered, arid planet with a thin atmosphere. Mariner 4's Camera Technology: Rob Manning detailed the technical challenges involved in adding a Vidicon tube TV camera to Mariner 4, emphasizing the difficulties in managing data size and ensuring functionality in space. Hand-Colored Mars Image: Scientists famously hand-colored Mariner 4's first black and white digital image. Mariner 4 Scientific Discoveries: Key scientific findings from Mariner 4 included the discovery of Mars' extremely thin atmosphere, roughly 1% the density of Earth's, and the absence of a strong global magnetic field. Challenges of Martian Landings: Rob underscores the extreme difficulty of landing on Mars due to its thin atmosphere, which rendered early concepts like glider landings impractical and dangerous. Legacy of John Casani: Rob praises the recently passed John Casani, Mariner 4's manager, for his pivotal role in advocating for the camera's inclusion and inspiring innovation at JPL. "Properly Paranoid" Approach: Rob discussed the concept of being "properly paranoid" in space engineering, stressing the importance of meticulous testing and proactive risk mitigation for high-stakes missions.

Only about one in five Americans was born before the “Mars Era” – before the first spacecraft visited the Red Planet. That first encounter took place 60 years ago today, beginning six decades of Mars exploration. Mariner 4 was launched in late 1964. A sister craft had failed. And early Soviet efforts failed as well. That inspired jokes about a “great galactic ghoul” eating Mars-bound probes. Mariner 4 had eluded the ghoul for seven months. AUDIO: Then, July 14th: Encounter Day. This is Mariner control. All systems are green. And as this NASA film explained, they stayed green. AUDIO: The shutter is operating, the TV sees the planet, the recorder is working. Mariner skimmed just 6100 miles from Mars. It snapped 21 pictures. The images depicted a landscape of craters and volcanic plains. They made Mars look like a dead planet. Yet Mars exploration continued. Later missions revealed that Mariner 4 was unlucky – it scanned an unusually desolate strip. Today, we know that Mars has an active atmosphere. Ice lurks just below its surface. And it once was warm and wet, with rivers flowing across its surface, perhaps filling a giant ocean – making Mars a possible home for life. Today, a half-dozen orbiters and rovers are exploring the planet. And others are being planned – extending a legacy of exploration that began six decades ago. Script by Damond Benningfield

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Leah Harman, known on trail as Twig. Although Twig is relatively new to the world of thru-hiking, with less than 10 years of experience, she's hit the ground running, accruing well over 10,000 miles in the process. In addition to all the usual suspects, triple crown trails, Colorado Trail, TA, Arizona Trail…Twig has also completed a number of lesser known trails, including the Mogollon Rim Trail, Bigfoot Trail, and a Desert Winter Thru-Hike from Tucson to San Diego. We of course learn all about these treks, why cows are the most dangerous animal on trail, and how she makes her perpetual hiker trash lifestyle work. Leah also recounts her past life living and working aboard ships, confirming that all the stereotypes about drunk and horny sailors are, in fact, hilariously accurate, complete with some entertaining hazing stories. We wrap the show with news of a group who trusted ChatGPT to plan their hike, and how that went terribly wrong, Chaunce details the stress associated with planning a wedding, and the triple crown of movie/tv shows that broke us.
