On this week's episode of the Big Hunt Guys, we are joined by Corey Mason and Kevin Hurley from the Wild Sheep Foundation to dive deep into the West's most iconic species— bighorn sheep. We explore wild sheep conservation, the challenges of disease and habitat loss, and how populations are being managed and restored across the West. Plus, we get into what makes these animals so incredibly cool. We also discuss WSF's generous donation as part of Omar's quest to raise money to build a bighorn sheep guzzler. Omar is running a 100-mile ultra race on May 2nd to raise funds and awareness for sheep conservation. All donations raised will go directly back into the guzzler project!

Bird flu, which has long been an emerging threat, took a significant turn in 2024 with the discovery that the virus had jumped from a wild bird to a cow. In just over a year, the pathogen has spread through dairy herds and poultry flocks across the United States. It has also infected people, resulting in 70 confirmed cases, including one fatality. Correspondent Bill Whitaker spoke with veterinarians and virologists who warn that, if unchecked, this outbreak could lead to a new pandemic. They also raise concerns about the Biden administration's slow response in 2024 and now the Trump administration's decision to lay off over 100 key scientists. Demis Hassabis, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, is shaping the future of humanity. As the CEO of Google DeepMind, he was first interviewed by correspondent Scott Pelley in 2023, during a time when chatbots marked the beginning of a new technological era. Since that interview, Hassabis has made headlines for his innovative work, including using an AI model to predict the structure of proteins, which earned him a Nobel Prize. Pelley returns to DeepMind's headquarters in London to discuss what's next for Hassabis, particularly his leadership in the effort to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) – a type of AI that has the potential to match the versatility and creativity of the human brain.  One of the most awe-inspiring and mysterious migrations in the natural world is currently taking place, stretching from Mexico to the United States and Canada. This incredible spectacle involves millions of monarch butterflies embarking on a monumental aerial journey. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports from the mountains of Mexico, where the monarchs spent the winter months sheltering in trees before emerging from their slumber to take flight.

Power, deception, and a body count—this week, we're diving into the deadly history of murderous monarchs who ruled with an iron fist (and sometimes a bloody sword). Needless to say we're exposing the royals who took 'absolute power' a little too literally. Then, we're breaking down all the backstabbing, blindsides, and betrayals from The Traitors reunion. Who owned their treachery? Who's still salty? And who should have just kept their mouth shut? Grab a cocktail and prepare for some serious shade!

Lots of panic questions about Monarchs this year: in Auckland they are recorded as “pretty rare”, whereas in Christchurch I see them quite regularly and they're doing fine in my garden. There are always some troubles with wasps. These predators are quite keen to chew the monarch caterpillars to pieces and take the protein back to the wasp nest as food for their larvae. It sounds awful and it looks awful; the common-German wasps (and Paper wasps) are, after all, imported pests that don't belong here. Keep your plants with caterpillars under netting; the wasps can not access them. Another trick is to grow your swan plants in large pots, which can be moved to new sites when wasps discover the precious cargo; the wasp's GPS system is disrupted when you change the position of the swan plants. Running out of food is often bad news – caterpillars starving Always keep an extra plant or two under curtain netting, so female monarchs can't lay eggs on those spare food plants!! It also pays to reduce the number of eggs/caterpillars per plant (birth-control) I must confess: I had some trouble managing the number of caterpillars this year: they we sometimes eating the tops of the naked swanplants… and in pairs!! I tend to keep my caterpillars inside the tunnel house, so that the female monarchs couldn't get at them to lay more and more eggs “Go Fly to Auckland and Do something with your Life” is what I usually say… Sometimes caterpillars are found limp and dying This is often caused by predation by brown soldier bugs (Cermatulus nasalis) who stick their sucking tubes into the caterpillars and slowly such them dry. Look for the soldier bugs (brown version of the garden stink bug!!) and get rid of them! Accidents do happen, especially when the last instar caterpillar does its very last change from Caterpillar to Chrysalis. That in itself is a tricky manoeuvre: the caterpillar hangs from a small patch of silk while it takes its skin of. The trick is then to hook its chrysalis “claws” into the same white silken pad, so it can hang there as long as it takes to change into an adult butterfly. There are a few videos that capture the way a caterpillar becomes a chrysalis; have a look at how the caterpillar manages that without falling. But sometimes things go horribly wrong and if you discover a fallen chrysalis soon after the accident happened, you can carefully pick that very fragile creature up and literally hang it back where it needs to be… Very delicate “First Aid”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Natočeno: 12.2.2025Přinášíme Vám první ze dvou dílů, které vyšly na herohero v reakci na události posledních dvou týdnů.Tento díl jsme natáčeli bezprostředně po konání AI Summitu v Paříži, takže v něm reflektujeme hlavně první projev JD Vance na evropské půdě,  který pronesl právě v Paříži a který v podstatě reprezentuje postoj Silicon valley k evropským regulacím. Situace dále gradovala v Mnichově, kde evropským leaderům konečně začalo docházet, že Spojené státy se z dřívějšího garanta bezpečnosti stávají v podstatě nepřítelem.Technopolitik JDVance v PařížiMnichovu předcházel AI Summit v Paříži, na kterém JD Vance prohlásil, že americké firmy jsou nuceny se vypořádávat s DSA a dalšími regulacemi, které by EU měla přehodnotit.JD Vance tak reprezentoval především zájmy Silicon Valley a realizoval nový druh politiky, která vychází z potřeb konkrétní technologie. Využívá možností technologie k prosazování politických cílů, inkorporuje politickou agendu do technologie a naopak.Díky hyperkapitalistickému charakteru Silicon Valley je pak výsledkem technofašismus.Už od začátku našeho podcastu říkáme, že díky digitálním technologiím a AI žijeme v algokracii. A nyní se ukazuje, že americký technofašismus je jedním z možných způsobů výkonu algokracie, na který Evropa musí najít odpověď.EU přitom stále bere digitální technologie jen jako další sektor ekonomiky, pro který je třeba nastavit pravidla. Jednou z výzev pro Evropu tak bude, jak skloubit hodnoty demokracie s rozvojem a adopcí digitálních technologií.Bizár v Oválné pracovněJedním z projevů tohoto nového technopolitického směru je zřejmě nejbizarnější tisková konference, kterou kdy Oválná pracovna Bílého domu zažila. Na otázky novinářů odpovídal především stojící Elon Musk, který si sebou přivedl svého malého syna, jenž v mezičase špital směrem k sedícímu a zjevně dezorientovanému Trumpovi “ty nejsi prezident a měl bys sklapnout”.Temné osvíceníSoučasný americký technofašismus přitom čerpá z filozofie tzv. Dark Elightenment, neboli Temného Osvícení (TO). Ne náhodou si Musk nasadil černou kšiltovku “Dark MAGA”. Přívrženci TO věří, že demokratické státy založené na institucích jsou vysílené a je třeba je nahradit systémem  menších celků, kterým budou vládnout tzv. CEO Monarchs (technopolitiků). Jedná se o techno-centrický pohled na správu věcí veřejných podle dnes už (bohužel) proslulé knihy jednoho z guru tohoto hnutí Balaji Srinovasana, bývalého CTO Coinbase, která se jmenuje Network State. Mnichov pre-summit report: Trump představuje bezpečnostní rizikoOrganizátoři mnichovské bezpečnostní konference vydali ještě před jejím konáním report, ve kterém rozebírají ústup Spojených států z pozice garanta mezinárodního řádu a Trumpovy hrozby Kanadě a Dánsku označují za riziko, proti kterému bude třeba se pojistit. Jako nastavení témat pro konferenci to nebylo špatné, ale spád dalších událostí  pak bohužel daleko předčil všechna očekávání. A o tom je hned další díl.Podpořte nás na https://www.herohero.co/kanarcivsiti .

In the last episode we met 7 living former monarchs who chose to retire, hand their thrones to their children and enjoy their golden years. But not all living former monarchs chose to get off the throne, some were pushed off. In the 20th century, 28 national-level monarchies across the world were abolished. Their former sovereigns were downgraded, exiled or even executed. As the majority of these revolutions and coups happened in the first half of the century, few ex monarchs are still alive today. Their children and grandchildren carry on defunct royal dynastic lines and, if they're lucky, enjoy what's left of their ancestors' glory, palaces, and fortunes. Today there are only 4 living former monarchs who lost their thrones when their monarchies were abolished. All of their reigns ended and one began in bloodshed. And one managed to return to his former Kingdom and be democratically elected Prime minister. Let's meet them!

Queen Elizabeth II considered abdication to be a dirty word. She remained on the throne until her death at 96, and left her son Charles to waiting 73 years to take the job he was born to. But abdication is not so despised in other countries. In recent decades more monarchs have elected to retire and pass the throne on to the next generation. Thus allowing them to spend their golden years relaxing and enjoying their ridiculously well-funded retirement plans. Plus we'll find out what an ex monarch does in retirement; from studying fish to living in a log cabin to getting into even more scandal than they did on the throne. Let's meet the world's 6 living former monarchs...

The Brutal Tudor Sport That Shocked Kings!   Think football is a rough game today? Tudor football was an entirely different beast—chaotic, lawless, and downright deadly. Henry VIII banned it in 1540, but he wasn't the first! Monarchs before him had also tried to stop the game, but why?   This wasn't the structured sport we know today. Picture entire villages battling it out, no rules, no referee, and injuries galore! Broken bones, bloody noses, even fatal accidents—Tudor football was more like a medieval battlefield than a pastime. And yet, the same Henry VIII who banned it had a pair of custom-made football boots!   But why did multiple kings fear the game so much? What does it have to do with archery, war, and even molehills? And is there anywhere you can still see medieval-style football played today?   Find out in today's Saturday Trivia as we dive into the most dangerous sport in Tudor England! Do you think Henry VIII was right to ban it, or should people have been free to play?   #TudorHistory #HenryVIII #TudorSports #MedievalFootball #BannedByTheKing #HistoryTrivia #HistoricFootball

George III's mental incapacitation was formally recognised by Parliament on February 5th, 1811, when The Regency Act handed power to his son, the future George IV.  Though George III had struggled with bouts of illness for decades, his periods of lucidity made it difficult to decide when, or even if, he should be replaced. He resisted the idea of ceding power, particularly to his son, with whom he had a notoriously difficult relationship. Parliament wasn't thrilled about George IV either, seeing him as indulgent, irresponsible, and politically aligned with the opposition. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine George III's "mad spells"; discover the shockingly cruel treatments contemporary medicine offered up - including blistering his skin with arsenic, dunking him in freezing water, and using leeches to "suck out the madness" - and explain how he kept the love of his people even as his health declined… CONTENT WARNING: mental health trauma, infant mortality.

The monarch butterfly is popular and currently in the news a lot. You might think that we know all there is to know about it, but there are many mysteries remaining, particularly about their migration and how they use their habitat. This may be more so for the western population that overwinters in California. Radio tracking has long been used for studying the movement and habitat use of bigger animals. Advances in this technology mean it is emerging as a tool that can provide scientists with some answers about tiny animals too.To explore how radio tracking — also called radio telemetry — can be used with monarchs, we are joined by Ashley Fisher. Ashley is an endangered species conservation biologist and a monarch overwintering specialist with the Xerces Society. Based near the overwintering sites in California, Ashley manages Xerces' overwintering habitat database and helps facilitate research projects, working with Xerces partnering organizations and universities. She also works with local land managers in communities along the central coast of California to provide guidance on the management and restoration of overwintering sites.Thank you for listening!

Ever feel like your business is running you instead of the other way around? Pamela Ahart-Steward and Beth Greenberg Cotell, founders of Monarchs in Motion, share their journey of discovering balance and intentional living as business owners. They discuss the challenges of burnout, the importance of setting boundaries, and how saying "no" can create space for what truly matters. Drawing from their 26 years of experience, they offer actionable advice on transforming your approach to business and embracing personal growth. Packed with inspiration and practical tips, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build a business that supports both their life and their goals. Main topics: Balancing business and personal priorities Strengthening partnerships through respect Recognizing and overcoming business burnout Setting boundaries to prevent overwhelm Transformation and intentional goal setting Main takeaway: "The power of saying no isn't about rejection; it's about creating space for what truly matters." As pet business owners, it's easy to feel like we need to say "yes" to every client request, every opportunity, and every demand on our time. But saying "yes" to everything often leaves us overwhelmed, burned out, and unable to give our best to the things that truly matter. Here's the truth: "The power of saying no isn't about rejection; it's about creating space for what truly matters." When you say no, you're not just turning something down--you're prioritizing your time, energy, and mental well-being. You're setting boundaries that allow you to focus on the clients and services that align with your goals and values. You're building a business that supports your life, not the other way around.

On Tuesday's AOA, we start the show learning more about Farmers for Monarchs and their mission to encourage farmers to continue their conservation efforts. Matt Mulica, senior project director at Keystone Policy Center, which facilitates Farmers for Monarchs, joins us to discuss. In Segment Two, we talk with Mississippi cotton grower Keylon Gholston during the 2024 Deltapine NPE Summit about his year on the farm and an outlook for the cotton industry into 2025. In Segment Three, we talk crop input decisions for 2025 with Tryston Beyrer from Mosaic. Then we close the show with a look at ag news headlines in Segment Four.  

This week Vance Crowe is joined by Joe Vaclavik. Vaclavik is the founder and president of Standard Grain in Nashville, Tennessee. He started his career at the Chicago Board of Trade before relocating to Nashville, establishing himself as a key player in dealing directly with large-scale agricultural entities across the U.S. His expertise lies in providing market commentary and analysis, which has made him a familiar face on platforms like CNBC, Fox Business, and The Wall Street Journal, among others.Vaclavik is recognized for his deep market insights, particularly in grain markets, weather impacts, and economic trends affecting agriculture. He hosts the podcast "Grain Markets and Other Stuff," discussing market dynamics and agricultural news. Educated in Agribusiness at the University of Illinois, he often speaks at events like the Top Producer Summit, sharing his knowledge on commodity marketing and risk management.On this week's episode, we delve into recent agricultural and environmental news. Despite cuts to the spending bill, farmer payments remain intact with $10 billion in direct support and $20.8 billion for disaster relief for the 2023-2024 crop years. We discuss how these funds, with specific payment rates for corn, soybeans, and wheat, might influence farmers' economic situations and grain markets. We also cover the alarming spread of H5N1 bird flu, with the first severe human case reported in Louisiana and California declaring a state of emergency for its dairy industry. The absence of a vaccine due to export concerns adds complexity to managing this outbreak.Lastly, we explore the proposed federal protections for the monarch butterfly, listed as threatened due to significant population declines. We'll analyze what this listing means for conservation efforts, agriculture, and how regional variations in monarch numbers might affect these strategies. Join us for a deep dive into these pivotal issues shaping our agricultural and ecological landscape.

In 15th and 16th century Scotland, in the highest courts of the land, you'd find esteemed poets hurling insults at each other. This was flyting, a sort of medieval equivalent of battle rap, and it was so popular at the time that the King himself wrote instructions for how to do it well. Writer and Scots language campaigner Ishbel McFarlane and historical linguist Joanna Kopaczyk explain the art of flyting, where an insult becomes slander, what's going on within the speech act of performative diss-trading, and what the legal consequences could be of being accused of witchcraft. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/flyting.  Content note: this episode contains brief references to historical capital and corporal punishments, and discussion of insults and slurs; there is also a derogatory term for sex workers, and category A and B swears.

The Monarchs came to Boone leading the Sun Belt East and left a wrung down the leaderboard. The Mountaineers have played two solid games in a row with bowl eligibility still in front of them. We break down this beautiful Saturday down in Boone. 

Great news for the nearly-extinct monarch butterflies, which will pass through the area as they migrate back to Mexico. Also, to find out how blood affects aging, scientists can surgically connect two animals and let blood circulate between them.After California's Park Fire, A Second Bloom of MilkweedDon Hankins examines a bright yellow-green patch in the meadow. The land all around is charred by fire. But here, there's a sort of miracle at work. Native milkweed has sprung up and bloomed for the second time this year. This is not something these plants, Asclepias eriocarpa, also known as Indian milkweed, are known to do.They bloomed in late spring and early summer and had already done so this year when the Park Fire roared through. But the fire seemed to happen at just the right time to coax a second flowering, one that is likely to line up with the return migration of the monarch butterflies south to overwinter in Mexico. Monarchs rely on these flowers to complete their life cycle. For researcher Don Hankins, this is a surprise delight.“We may be coming back into some knowledge here that hasn't been practiced in a long time,” said Don Hankins, a professor at Chico State, who teaches classes in geography with a focus on fire. He is also a California Plains Miwok traditional cultural practitioner.Read the rest at sciencefriday.com.Inside The ‘Creepy' Procedure That Taps Into Young BloodWhile fictional vampires suck the blood of the young to live forever, some researchers have found that certain elements in young blood actually can improve the health of the old. This is possible through a spooky procedure called parabiosis, in which the circulatory systems of two animals are joined, letting the blood flow from one into the other.By connecting old mice and young mice through parabiosis, researchers have observed how different molecules in the blood impact symptoms of aging. While some outcomes have excited experts, enthusiastic biohackers attempting to defy their own aging might have jumped the gun. There's a long way to go before we understand how elements of young blood might be harnessed to treat aging humans.Emma Gometz, SciFri's digital producer of engagement, talks to Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray, a neurology professor at Stanford University who has used parabiosis (which he once described as “creepy”) to help reveal how components of our blood affect our cognition as we age. They discuss parabiosis, vampires, and how far the field has to go before humans can benefit.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
