  Whaling was big business. Connecticut and her sister New England states built ships, forged cast iron tools, produced wooden storage casks and outfitted sailors. Stonington, Mystic, New London, and New Haven were part of New England's predominance in successful whaling. We're going to get into the nitty gritty of the trade in this episode and hear about some of the striking artifacts from Mystic Seaport's whaling collection - tools, ship logs, harpoons, blubber hooks and scrimshaw - that are on view. They speak to the staggering risks and rewards of the whaling industry that lit America's lamps and greased its machines for over a century. We're also going to talk about the largest whaling artifact of all - the Charles W. Morgan, the last American whaling ship in existence. It was considered “ancient” in the 1920s but has been faithfully restored.   This summer we are featuring two episodes on whaling. To get the big picture on whaling, we talked to one of our favorite guests, Eric Jay Dolin, in episode 211, about his book Leviathan, the History of Whaling in America. And in today's episode, we'll visit Mystic Seaport Museum's new exhibition “Monstrous: Whaling and Its Colossal Impact” with curator Mike Dyer. The exhibit explores the sheer scale-physical, economic, and human-of the nation's whaling industry and its legacy. Dyer is the Curator of Maritime History and an Instructor in the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime History at Mystic Seaport Museum. Visitors can tour the new exhibit and visit the Charles W. Morgan  for an unforgettable immersive experience.   *Warning: Listeners may find the content of  this episode disturbing. Whaling was a brutal trade. We are describing the industry in its historic context.*   Listen to the whaling episode with Eric J.

Surekha's research explores how ideas about humanity have been shaped by encounters with what did not seem to fit. She draws on visual, material and textual sources to show how people have imagined and defined the human across time.In this episode, Surekha:Traces her path into HPS, from Star Trek dreams to Renaissance studiesExplains why visual and material sources are crucial to understanding early modern scienceIntroduces her book Humans: A Monstrous HistoryTell us about how monstrosity functioned as an epistemic tool for organising knowledge and drawing conceptual boundariesExamines how these ideas influenced concepts of gender, race and empireIf you've ever wondered how the strange and unfamiliar shaped science, culture, and our understanding of humanity, this episode is for you.Relevant Links: Surekha Davies WebsiteHumans: A Monstrous History ((University of California Press, 2025)Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human: New Worlds, Maps and Monsters (Cambridge University Press, 2016).Transcript coming soon.Thanks for listening to The HPS Podcast.

In this punchy and provocative episode of the Mark and Pete Podcast, we tackle three of Britain's strangest and most telling headlines this week. First, we scrutinise Prime Minister Keir Starmer's policy U-turns, from winter fuel payments to welfare reform and grooming gang inquiries. Is this leadership, or just carefully managed confusion? We unpack the spiritual implications of political inconsistency in high office. Next, it's the tale of two mischievous brown bears breaking into a Devon food store and bingeing on a week's supply of honey. Beyond the giggles, we ask serious questions about stewardship, creation, and why animals sometimes show more wisdom than governments. Finally, we delve into the world of cutting-edge science, where UK researchers are attempting to synthesise human DNA from scratch. We explore the ethical minefield of synthetic biology, its chilling Frankenstein echoes, and whether man should ever try to play God. Each segment is grounded in biblical wisdom and delivered with sharp wit, cultural critique, and a touch of righteous sarcasm. Join Mark and Pete as they bring faith to the frontlines of politics, nature, and science.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

This week Craig, Phil, and Will watch the 2022 relatively mid horror film Monstrous! Also on the pod, look we all love Christina Ricci.

Highlights:- SpaceX Starship Explosion: In this episode, we delve into the latest developments from SpaceX as their Starship spacecraft experienced an explosion during a static fire test at the Starbase site. Initial analyses suggest a failure of a composite overwrapped pressure vessel, but thankfully, no injuries were reported. We discuss the implications of this incident on the timeline for future flight tests and the challenges faced by the upper stage of the Starship programme.- Monstrous Oort Cloud Comet: Astronomers have made remarkable observations of the colossal comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein, one of the largest Oort Cloud comets ever discovered, measuring 140 kilometres across. We explore its surprising activity, including jets of carbon monoxide gas, and its long journey towards the Sun, with a perihelion expected in January 2031.- Europe's Space Ambitions: French President Emmanuel Macron has called for Europe to reclaim its status as a global space power, particularly in the competitive low Earth orbit satellite market. We discuss his vision for increased investment and collaboration with international partners to build a robust European satellite infrastructure and the significance of this push for independence in space capabilities.- ESA's 50th Anniversary: The European Space Agency celebrates its half-century milestone with a new publication highlighting key achievements over the years. From landing on a comet to developing advanced satellite navigation systems, we reflect on the agency's pivotal role in advancing Europe's capabilities in space and its importance for maintaining independence in the field.

The reconciliation bill passed by the U.S. House is truly monstrous, slashing health care and nutrition assistance to help pay for tax cuts that mainly would go to the rich. But there's more harm that would flow from the bill.One thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is the fact that the reconciliation bill threatens to shrink Oregon revenue collections, due to the way our state tax code connects to the federal tax code. As OCPP Deputy Director Daniel Hauser explains in this episode of Policy for the People, if the US House reconciliation bill becomes law and the Oregon legislature does nothing, Oregon will end up having less money to address the needs of Oregonians, just when there will be greater need due to the federal cuts to health care and nutrition assistance. 

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsWhat the hell is going on with culture right now? The Web is running evolution in fast-forward, remixing the very substrates of identity and personhood in a molten broil of post-ironic, post-human, post-truth meme-play that reminds me of nothing more than the porous networked selfhood of bacterial in a molten wash of horizontal gene transfer. RIP the genre and all hail the hyper-real individual as institution, the self-fulfilling prophecies of [EDIT: Guy Debord's] society of the spectacle [and Baudrillard's simulation], the revenge of religion as our accelerating techno-social evolution prompts a kind of reversal as the movement of the Tao that challenges the dreams and ideals of the Enlightenment…it is a time of monsters, a rapid recombination of worlds and ways of living in them. How to make sense of it all…or is making sense even a viable strategy when rifts and ruptures are the name of the game?Amidst the chaos of pop culture and mainstream news, my friend Rina Nicolae of Incognita swims comfortably as a thoughtful commentator. Riffing philosophically on network society and its discontents, the emergent spiritual traditions of digital natives, and the posthuman bestiary of our AI- and biotech-saturated century, Rina's Substack is a handbook to the cyborg aesthetic, the imagistic/algorithmic complex of online identity, our entanglement with capital and the possession by and performance of meme-space.How do we not become caricatures of ourselves in the world-creating and -destroying flood of remix culture? How do we cultivate roughness, fractality, wildness, illegigility? How do we stay, as Cadell Last put it in the previous episode, “in the gaps and cracks” instead of becoming prey to the new monsters of the unleashed imagination? How do we *befriend* those monsters?William Irwin Thompson said noise characterizes the emergence of planetary culture — an age in which “Technology slays the victim” of the mind “resurrects it as art” in a new ecology of consciousness.

Potters from around the world showed off their latest creations at Ceramic Art London, the largest high-end ceramics show in the UK. Returning to the capital for its 21st year, more than 6,000 people were expected to visit to see some of the best ceramic creations on sale. Everywhere you look are beautiful ceramic creations, from functional vases, sculptural pieces, and abstract forms. One of the most striking artists to display this year was Lucy Baxendale, whose interactive display of fantastical monsters impressed the visitors. This friendly-looking ceramic tree monster has a surprise—if you dare to stick your hand inside its mouth (don't worry, he doesn't bite!). By tickling the tonsils at the back of the monster's throat, another head prints out a poetic and inspirational receipt for visitors to consider. Baxendale, originally from Durham in the northeast of England, explains, "Yeah. If you put your hand into the monster's mouth, it will print you out something that you can take away. And my hope is that that kind of spreads out into the world and maybe inspires something else." All of the riddle-like receipts were written by Baxendale, and she collaborated with her father (an electrical engineer) to produce her piece. "What would a broken vase dream about? Sketch the cracked pieces and reassemble them into something new," said one receipt. A show visitor from Peru was blown away by the tree monster and said it was, "Super fun. I think this is amazing. Because behind the complicated work and the kind of like graffiti, tattoo kind of work, you find something very soft." Ceramic Art London is organized each year by the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain and continues to grow in size and importance. It ran from May 9 to 11 at London's Olympia.

Episode No. 709 features author Adrienne L. Childs and curator Iris Moon. Childs is the author of "Ornamental Blackness: The Black Figure in European Decorative Arts." The book, which was published by Yale University Press, examines the role decorative arts played in the representation of Black people within European visual and material culture. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $44-78. From the show: The exhibition guide to the 2022-23 Henry Moore Institute exhibition "Race, Sexuality and Disorder in Victorian Sculpture," which Childs co-curated. Moon is the curator of "Monstrous Beauty: A Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The exhibition is a feminist construction of the story of European porcelain. Chinese porcelain arrived in early modern Europe and led to the emergence of chinoiserie, a decorative style that foregrounded European fantasies about the East and the exotic, as well as about women, sexuality, and race. It is on view through August 17. The exhibition catalogue was published by the Met. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $35. Instagram: Adrienne Childs, Tyler Green.

Episode 983-Jason Interviews James Aquilone - Darkest Depths - Monstrous Books - James Aquilone is the owner of Monstrous Books, writer of the Dead Jack Zombie Detective series, and editor of the anthologies Classic Monsters Unleashed, Shakespeare Unleashed, and the 50th anniversary Kolchak: The Night Stalker graphic novel. He has won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Graphic Novel and two Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.The launch of DARKEST DEPTHS had been planned for 2023 as a joint project among Crystal Lake Publishing, Bram Stoker award winner James Aquilone, and acclaimed horror author and producer Taylor Grant. Sadly, after Taylor fell ill, the campaign was put on hold. Taylor, who was a development executive at Stan Lee Media and Head of Global Animation at Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, ultimately passed away from cancer in September 2024. Now DARKEST DEPTHS will serve as a tribute to Taylor and feature the last comic story he wrote, “It Lives in Darkness.” Additionally, profits from this crowdfunding campaign will be donated to his son Zane.Taylor believed in helping others and DARKEST DEPTHS will continue his legacy of mentorship by giving writers the opportunity to break into the comic book industry. Following the campaign, submissions will open for additional stories, the number depending on the campaign's final funding level. It is our hope that the DARKEST DEPTHS series will be the launching pad for many aspiring comic book writers.Back It: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manbomb/darkest-depthsTheme Songs by Drew: Darkest Depths & LegacyLike & Subscribe on Youtube www.youtube.com/@comicsforfunandprofit5331Patreon https://www.patreon.com/comicsfunprofit Merch https://comicsfunprofit.threadless.comYour Support Keeps Our Show Going On Our Way to a Thousand EpisodesDonate Here https://bit.ly/36s7YeLAll the C4FaP links you could ever need  https://beacons.ai/comicsfunprofit Listen To the Episode Here: https://comcsforfunandprofit.podomatic.com/

Dennis Rader, the self-proclaimed "BTK" killer—short for "Bind, Torture, Kill"—terrified Wichita and Park City, Kansas, for nearly two decades. But behind the mask of a monstrous mastermind was a man whose crimes were riddled with laughable mistakes, sloppy execution, and a bizarre craving for attention. In this episode, we dismantle the myth of BTK as a criminal genius and reveal the truth: Dennis Rader wasn't brilliant—he was a bungler.

Our show today is FULL of "meaty" stories. Here's a short synopsis:President Trump's Middle East visit this week has (and is) amazing accomplishments.Monstrous agreements on multiple issues resulted. We cover most of them today.One Pennsylvania State lawmaker, a Democratic leader, publicly announced he would NOT support a new bill that would prevent biological males from competing with biological females. This story has national implications.A Chinese payment processing company has been discovered to be allegedly committing illegal activity involving "big dollars." The story's complete details show that the company's principals have close ties to Hunter Biden.A highly-covered case involving the deportation of three illegals involved a mother, daughter, and an infant who were separated in this ACLU-instigated legal action. Those are false allegations!

Since this episode is dropping just before Mother's Day in the US, it seemed like the perfect time to talk about Echidna, the Mother of All Monsters. Or… at least an awful lot of the Greek ones.

These hundred days have brought horrors unimaginable even during the first nightmare years of Nitwit Nero. Now, he says he "runs the world." He's insane. Stone-cold, no-doubt-about-it criminally insane.  The monsters of ICE are kidnapping infants and pregnant mothers, children with cancer. Could we please just skip the middle part and put them in spiffy, black Hugo Boss uniforms? I'd like to think maybe even MAGATS might take notice then.  Who am I kidding?

What work can genre do today? And can the genre system become more than a method of reductive containment and market segmentation—can it be a generative source of imaginative chaos? Few are as qualified to address these questions as Lauren Beukes, whose simultaneous embrace of genres from science fiction to crime to horror and refusal to abide within their borders—what she calls her “Big Fuck You Energy”—has rendered her, by her own account, “basically un-shelve-able.” Beukes is joined by crime fiction scholar (and novelist) Andrew Pepper of Queen's University Belfast for a conversation that dances across her oeuvre's many genres. They delve into how Beukes first encountered genre through the allegories that writers used to navigate the apartheid state of South Africa; how Beukes' experiences of femicidal violence and police apathy inspired her work in genre-bent crime (“At least in novels I get to have justice,” she tells us); the inflection of dystopia from different global perspectives; and the role of speculative fiction in helping clarify political enemies in an age of obfuscation. Pepper and Beukes also think about genre in more practical terms, from the logistics of keeping track of plotlines when crafting time travel or multiverse novels to what it means to be a “high concept” author in a market designed for distracted audiences.
