Join us for a coastal goat hunt with Spencer Greening La'goot and Adam Foss as they recap their coastal goat mountain hunt in Gitga'at Territory. This was a wet and challenging hunt and offered an opportunity for reflection and learning from Indigenous knowledge and practice from time immemorial.   In this episode, Dylan, Adam, and Spencer dive into the deep connections between hunting, personal growth, and cultural traditions. They explore the balance between family responsibilities and outdoor adventures, the spiritual and ethical dimensions of hunting, and the significance of mountain goats in Indigenous traditions. Through their experiences in bow hunting and navigating rugged mountain terrain, they highlight the importance of patience, mental resilience, and traditional knowledge. The conversation also touches on the role of storytelling in preserving Indigenous hunting perspectives and ecological wisdom. Find La'goot here! Find Adam here! Key Takeaways: Hunting is as much about the experience as the harvest. Mountain goats hold deep cultural and spiritual significance. Success in hunting is shaped by knowledge, preparation, and respect for nature. Ethical considerations and conservation must include Indigenous perspectives. Storytelling plays a crucial role in passing down hunting traditions and wisdom. Tune in for an insightful discussion on the challenges, lessons, and connections that make hunting more than just a pursuit—it's a journey of growth, respect, and heritage.   Chapters 00:00 New Year Reflections and Personal Growth 03:05 Balancing Parenthood and Outdoor Adventures 06:00 Cultural Significance of Mountain Goats 08:52 The Journey of Goat Hunting: A Shared Experience 11:57 Understanding the Mountain Goat: A Hunter's Perspective 15:10 The Challenges of Bow Hunting Mountain Goats 18:11 Research and Conservation: The Importance of Traditional Knowledge 21:11 The Nuances of Goat Herd Management 23:54 The Spiritual Connection in Hunting 26:57 The Art of the Hunt: A Personal Story 29:46 The Ethics of Hunting and Wildlife Management 43:35 Reflecting on Past Experiences 43:58 Choosing the Right Location for Hunting 45:00 Facing Adverse Weather Conditions 46:12 The Role of Relationships in Hunting Projects 46:48 The Challenges of Mountain Hunting 50:01 Describing the Hunting Environment 51:03 The Toughness of Traditional Hunters 53:54 Navigating Difficult Terrain 01:00:02 The First Night's Struggles 01:06:00 Enduring Continuous Rain 01:09:00 Strategies for Managing Moisture 01:15:02 Lessons from Ancestors and Traditional Knowledge 01:17:19 The Privilege of Indigenous Hunting Practices 01:19:50 The Challenges of the Hunt 01:21:58 The Search for the Mountain Goat 01:25:42 The Moment of Truth 01:32:02 The Ethics of Hunting 01:35:10 Reflections on the Hunting Experience 01:40:19 Cultural Significance of Hunting 01:43:20 The Journey Home 01:51:12 Future Projects and Storytelling

Moving into 2025 feels different and the powerful expansion many of us are experiencing can also bring up programs that are anathema to self love. Not only is self love is the center of the pearl of sacred self care, self love is the wellspring that comes from your vaster self, connected to the breath of the cosmos. It is foundational to your natural organic human operating system.  Your presence here is precious and now is the moment to be fully and completely expressing as that presence. Time to find the deeper wellspring inside yourself. Because you are part of an infinite presence, it is already within you, you are already that. We're all learning how to turn the volume up on our pure love embodiment, anchoring into the wonder of who we are. The more we can anchor into that, the more solid the infrastructure of the world we want to be, becomes - here and now. When we tune into ourselves, we align to the natural rhythms of our true expression. Our body becomes a powerful tool that moves through this world of chaos, knowing the notes of it's own song of self love. Playing it with more ease, precision and joy.  This song of self love is not only your heart's "medicine," it is the "medicine" the earth needs now. No “time” for anything else now. As you expand into more of your own precious presence of pure love, then everything that isn't that true presence will naturally (in its own timing) fall away because it has to.  The poem I read in the episode; Time  The way we're letting go now, A century in a minute Millennia swept away, as time folds into itself Beloved your precious  presence No “time” for anything else now Let the last of the distractions you cling to  Fall Metamorphosis pulsing  through you as you begin to seed the new beginning ~ (art & poetry Christine Pensa) For more information and episodes visit the show page at; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/  

We revisit the grungy bathroom where a franchise was born! The original Saw led to a slew of nasty imitators bearing the "torture porn" moniker, but you'd be surprised to learn that James Wan's directorial debut is rather sanitary (and a little Hitchcock-y). Let's meet John Kramer for the first time again and decide whether he's the devious folk hero the sequels make him out to be or just a nutty old man who enjoys a good Rube Goldberg machine.

New research suggests the first humans to arrive in the Americas lived alongside giant prehistoric creatures far earlier and longer than previously known. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

The Brothers Krynn come back on the pod to share part 3 of their fan fiction idea, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels.  Want more energy and essential vitamins for your day but want to limit your caffeine intake?

Polio has been around since ancient times but it was a very quiet disease for most of history, affecting few people and raising little alarm. It wasn't until the 20th century that polio began to appear among the masses, terrifying epidemics, a mysterious disease that seemed to target children out of nowhere, paralyzing them, killing them. No one knew how it spread. No one knew how to treat it. No one knew how to stop it. They quarantined. They avoided swimming pools and water fountains. They lived in fear. But the strange thing was, these polio epidemics were only happening in developed countries in Europe and North America, countries that had recently gone to great lengths to ensure improved hygiene and sanitation. Good hygiene, cleanliness, was supposed to prevent the spread of disease. How had it backfired so horrifically with polio? Let's fix that.Support the show! Join the PatreonBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: Yale Medicine Magazine "Breaking the back of polio" Wikipedia "History of Polio"Encyclopedia Britannica "Polio through history"PBS "Candy Land"BBC "The man in the iron lung"World Health Organization "History of the Polio Vaccine"Mayo Clinic "Polio"CDC "Covid-19 Mortality Update"Shoot me a message!

We venture to 2004 when zombies came back from the dead to devour pop culture... until we got sick of them again. Listen, somebody's watching one of those dozen Walking Dead spin-offs. Not us, but someone. Does Zack Snyder's feature debut live up the legacy of Romero's classic? Not really. Does it have a fun montage using Richard Cheese's music? Sure does!

This episode originally aired on Feb. 16, 2022.Trondheim, Norway's first religious and national capital, has a rich history that has been revealed over decades of archaeological excavations. One question archaeologists are working on right now has a lot of relevance in a pandemic: Can insight into the health conditions of the past shed light on pandemics in our own time? Now, with the help of old bones and dental plaque, researchers are learning about how diseases evolved in medieval populations, and what society did to stem them — and how that might help us in the future.Our guests for this episode were Axel Christophersen, a professor of historical archaeology at the NTNU University Museum; Tom Gilbert, a professor at the NTNU University Museum and head of the Center for Evolutionarly Hologenomics based at the University of Copenhagen; and Elisabeth Forrestad Swensen, a PhD candidate at the NTNU University Museum.You can read more about the MedHeal research project on the project's home page.Here are some of the academic articles on medieval Trondheim related to the podcast: Zhou Z, Lundstrøm I, Tran-Dien A, Duchêne S, Alikhan NF, Sergeant MJ, Langridge G, Fotakis AK, Nair S, Stenøien HK, Hamre SS, Casjens S, Christophersen A, Quince C, Thomson NR, Weill FX, Ho SYW, Gilbert MTP, Achtman M.

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E., it covered the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under tons of ash. Millennia later, in the mid-18th century, archeologists began to unearth the city, including its famed libraries, but the scrolls they found were too fragile to be unrolled and read; their contents were thought to be lost forever. Only now, thanks to the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, scholars of the ancient world have partnered with computer programmers to unlock the contents of these priceless documents. In this episode of “There's More to That,” science journalist and Smithsonian contributor Jo Marchant tells us about the yearslong campaign to read these scrolls. And Youssef Nader—one of the three winners of last year's “Vesuvius Challenge” to make these clumps of vulcanized ash readable—tells us how he and his teammates achieved their historic breakthrough.

Welcome back to the Civilization Series. In the third installment, David and Dirk break down their experiences with Millennia, the latest 4X offering from C Prompt Games and Paradox Interactive. They discuss what aspects of the game worked for them, as well as what they would like to see develop as patches and updates are to come. Topics include how Millennia iterates on the concept of Ages, thematic dissonance, the unfinished nature of modern games, and what kinds of strategies the game mechanics reward.

We're used to watching movies that suck so vampires are right up our alley. Anne Rice may have disowned this 2002 adaptation of her novel, but the nu-metal community embraced it with leather-clad arms. Grab your wallet-chain and cover your neck -- it's Queen of the Damned.

It's a full house this week, as Len is joined by Ian Boudreau, Luke Plunkett, Mike Williams, and Ruth Cassidy to perform a bit of an autopsy on Millennia, C Prompt and Paradox's take at a Civ-like historical 4X. We all came away with a bit of a bad taste in our mouths about it, to varying degrees, and we spend a fair bit of time trying to explain why – and set aside some time to talk about what we did like.

As we celebrate Christmas today, let's look back at the world into which the Word who became flesh entered human history. It was a world shaped by the worship of false gods, gods who didn't care about their worshippers with worshippers who didn't care much about each other. The God who became flesh changed everything. His life, death, and resurrection not only exposed the false gods for the counterfeits they were, but His followers demonstrated a new way. As historian Rodney Stark puts it, Jesus' followers offered “mercy and security” to a world filled with “squalor, misery, illness, and anonymity.” What started in Bethlehem two millennia ago continues today. Jesus is still disarming false “gods,” like money, fame, sex, and power, and His followers are still called to to offer a better way of being human than anything currently offered in contemporary society. This is the gift we have to offer the world. This Point was originally published on December 25, 2020.

What can we make of a design that shows up over and over in disparate cultures throughout history? Theorist Terry Moore explores "Penrose tiling" -- two shapes that fit together in infinite combinations without ever repeating -- and ponders what it might mean.
