    ‘Prehistoric Planet' Defrosts Strange Animals Of The Ice Age

    Koalas with the bodies of lions. Elephants the size of your dog. Gigantic, 8-foot-tall sloths. These aren't creatures found in science fiction: They walked our planet a million years ago, during the Ice Age.That's the focus of the third season of the Apple TV series “Prehistoric Planet,” which uses the latest paleontology research and photorealistic CGI to reimagine the lives of ancient creatures. So far, the series has focused on dinosaurs, but now it's taking that same approach to the huge and strange-looking animals that roamed the tundras and deserts of the Ice Age.Joining Host Ira Flatow to thaw out the new research featured in the show are two of its scientific consultants, paleontologist Darren Naish and La Brea Tar Pits curator Emily Lindsey.Guests: Dr. Darren Naish is a paleozoologist and author based in Southampton, U.K.Dr. Emily Lindsey is a paleoecologist, curator, and excavation site director at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum in Los Angeles, California. Transcript available at sciencefriday.com.

    Texas decided January should belong to scale modelers, and we're not arguing. We map out two can't‑miss events—Model Fiesta in New Braunfels and Winter Blitz in College Station—so you can plan builds, book time, and show up ready. From streamlined online registration to judging formats that respect your effort and schedule, this is a practical guide wrapped in pure hobby energy.We start with Model Fiesta on January 3, hosted by the Alamo Chapter, where clear rules, posted scoring sheets, and an open gold‑silver‑bronze system set a fair stage. Display‑only builders get real love too, with sponsor‑selected special awards that include a Cold War theme, People's Choice, aerospace, vehicles, sci‑fi, and more. The vendor hall is nearly full—about 140 tables—so expect plenty of aftermarket, kits, and tools, plus a handy location with food nearby. The website makes everything simple: download forms, pay online, and walk in ready.ModelFiesta Then we head to Winter Blitz on January 24 at the Museum of the American GI, a venue where restored Shermans and half‑tracks share space with your entries. It's armor‑centric, fast, and focused: doors at nine, judging by noon, medals on the table, and a short ceremony spotlighting 16 Best Of categories and the sponsors who make it happen. This year's theme celebrates military support vehicles, and the Tank of the Year target is the 38T in any variant—bring your Hetzer or Marder and go for it. New categories—Brown water Navy, Landing Craft, Helicopters, a P‑47 challenge, and MaschinenKrieger—open the door for more builders without diluting the armor vibe. There's a Friday soft open for early drop‑off and a group dinner at Tad's Louisiana Cooking to turn logistics into community.We also talk Hall of Fame honors for past Best of Show winners, vendors, and a weather policy that keeps the show on unless ice shuts the roads. If you've been looking for a reason to finish that support truck, dust off a 38T, or finally paint a P‑47, January in Texas is your cue.

    The Valley Today
    Collecting Community: How the MSV Tells the Valley's Story

    The Valley Today

    The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) is more than just a repository of artifacts—it's a vibrant center for community, history, and storytelling. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Scott Stroh, the museum's new Executive Director and CEO, and Nick Powers, Curator of Collections, to discuss the MSV's evolving role in Winchester and the wider valley. Scott, less than a year into his role, brings a lifelong passion for history and museums, having previously led George Mason's Gunston Hall. "I am very blessed and fortunate to have been able to take my love of history and museums and make it into a career," he shares. Since arriving in Winchester, Scott has been struck by the community's warmth and the museum's central place in local life. Collecting the Valley's Many Voices Nick Powers, a familiar voice to listeners, explains the museum's unique approach to collecting. The MSV's collection spans 150 miles, from Harper's Ferry to Natural Bridge, and covers a vast array of stories and communities. "We try to collect and exhibit all the communities that make up the valley," Nick says, emphasizing the importance of allowing communities to tell their own stories. The museum's holdings are vast—over 25,000 objects, from miniature chairs to massive furniture, each meticulously cataloged. Recent upgrades to storage ensure both preservation and room for growth, reflecting the MSV's commitment to stewardship and active collecting. History in the Making The conversation highlights how history is not just about the distant past. Nick points out that today's everyday objects could become tomorrow's artifacts, and the museum actively collects contemporary art and stories. "There's always something new coming around the bend," he notes, referencing both changing land use and the valley's vibrant artistic community. Janet and Nick reminisce about estate sales and family heirlooms, underscoring the personal connections that make the MSV's collections so meaningful. Scott echoes this sentiment, describing the museum's artifacts as the "collective identity of the valley," akin to family heirlooms that tell the story of a people and a place. Staff Favorites and Community Connections A highlight of the current MSV experience is the "Inside Job: Staff Favorites from the Valley Collection" exhibition, celebrating the building's 20th anniversary. Staff members selected their favorite objects, with Nick curating complementary pieces. The result is an exhibition that not only showcases artifacts but also the personal stories and evolving perspectives of the museum's team. One standout story is the "Little Beasties" toys, crafted during the Depression by the Shenandoah Community Workers of Bird Haven, Virginia. These toys, along with marketing ephemera, illustrate how valley residents used creativity and local resources to overcome hardship. Sharing the Valley's Treasures The MSV's reputation extends far beyond Winchester. A prized Grandma Moses painting from the collection is currently on loan to the Smithsonian American Art Museum, part of a major retrospective. Nick reveals that Grandma Moses spent nearly two decades in the Shenandoah Valley, a little-known fact that deepens the region's artistic legacy. Looking Forward: Apple Blossom and Revolutionary Valley The museum is gearing up for major exhibitions. In 2027, the MSV will help celebrate the 100th Apple Blossom Festival parade with a community-driven exhibition. Residents are encouraged to submit objects and photographs that tell the story of this beloved event. "We want to acknowledge the very diverse group of people that make this a success year after year," Nick says. Another milestone is the upcoming "Revolutionary Valley" exhibition, opening July 4, 2026, to mark America's 250th anniversary. The show will explore the valley's role in the Revolution and beyond, featuring never-before-seen objects and personal stories, such as the correspondence of James Wood Jr. and the remarkable legal battle of Sarah Strother, a woman born enslaved on the Glen Burnie property who fought for—and won—her freedom. The Power of Storytelling As the conversation draws to a close, Scott emphasizes the museum's mission: "At the end of the day, it's about stories, it's about people, it's about place, and it's about fostering dialogue and understanding." The MSV stands as a testament to the valley's rich, diverse, and ongoing story—inviting all to explore, learn, and connect. For more information on current and upcoming exhibitions, visit msv.org or follow @visitmsv on social media. Memberships are available and make thoughtful gifts for anyone eager to discover the valley's past, present, and future.

    Dr. Peter Tauber befasst sich mit der Frage, wie es um die Sicherheit Deutschlands steht und welche politischen, militärischen und gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen dafür notwendig sind. Diese „Zugehört“-Folge wurde bei der 64. Internationalen Tagung für Militärgeschichte (ITMG) im November 2025 im Militärhistorischen Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden aufgezeichnet. Begriffe wie Kriegstüchtigkeit und Wehrhaftigkeit waren lange Zeit nicht im öffentlichen Diskurs Deutschlands präsent, heute stehen sie in dessen Fokus. Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik als eine fortwährende Suche nach Sicherheit verstanden werden kann, ordnet der Parlamentarische Staatssekretär a.D. und promovierte Historiker Peter Tauber die aktuellen sicherheitspolitischen Debatten ein. Unsere Sicherheit als gemeinsame AufgabeTaubers Vortrag beleuchtet drei zentrale Ebenen: die Rolle der Politik, den Zustand der Bundeswehr und die Verantwortung der Gesellschaft. Besonders ausführlich geht Tauber auf die gesellschaftliche Dimension von Sicherheit ein. Er verweist auf aktuelle Studien des ZMSBw, die zeigen, dass sich das Bedrohungsbewusstsein in der deutschen Bevölkerung seit 2022 deutlich verändert hat. Sicherheit dürfe nach Tauber nicht allein als Frage von Zuständigkeiten verstanden werden, sondern als gemeinsame Verantwortung. Die zentrale Frage laute daher nicht nur, wie sicher Deutschland ist, sondern was heute getan werden muss, um auch künftig in Frieden und Freiheit leben zu können.

    Lukas hatte wieder so einen Moment. Er sieht auf Youtube ein altes Interview mit dem deutschen Autor und Filmemacher Alexander Kluge als er den Assyriologen Walther Sallaberger interviewt und ist fasziniert– und entscheidet spontan (natürlich ohne Isabel zu fragen), dass dieser Mann in unseren Podcast muss. Ein paar Emails später finden sich alle drei vor einem Bildschirm sitzen um über die Erfindung der Schrift zu sprechen. Was ist eigentlich Assyriologie? Was hat sich vor 4.000 Jahren vor Christus zwischen Euphrat und Tigris agespielt? Und was ist eigentlich das Gilgamesch-Epos? Prof. Sallaberger, gebürtiger Tiroler und einer der weltweit renommiertesten Altorientalisten, bewegt sich in Welten, die für uns eher nach Museum klingen – bis er darüber spricht. Dann wird daraus plötzlich ein vibrierendes Live-Panorama der Menschheitsgeschichte. Walther Sallaberger (Isabel führte schnell das Du-Wort ein) kann die Keilschrift lesen und die Essenz des Gilgamesch-Epos wie selten jemand wiedergeben. In dieser Folge sprechen Isabel und Lukas darüber: - Wie Schrift überhaupt entstanden ist Warum rund 4.000 v. Chr. in Mesopotamien zum ersten Mal jemand dachte: „Vielleicht sollten wir Dinge aufzeichnen, bevor wir sie vergessen.“ Und warum das weniger romantisch und viel buchhalterischer war, als man denkt. - Was damals in Mesopotamien eigentlich abging Stadtstaaten, Verwaltung, Tempelwirtschaft – und der Moment, in dem aus Zeichen Sprache wurde. Eine Explosion an Möglichkeiten, die unsere Welt bis heute strukturiert. - Warum der Codex Hammurapi 3.500 Jahre später noch relevant ist Ein Gesetzeskorpus, der überraschend modern wirkt – nicht weil wir so fortschrittlich wären, sondern weil manche Fragen der Gerechtigkeit schlicht zeitlos sind. - Ein Exkurs zum ersten großen Mythos der Menschheit: dem Gilgamesch-Epos Was wir von Gilgamesch und Enkidu über Freundschaft, Hybris, Sterblichkeit und Sinnsuche lernen können – und warum dieser Text immer noch näher an uns dran ist als viele Netflix-Plots. Eine Folge über den Anfang von allem, was wir heute Kommunikation nennen – und über einen äußerst sympathischen Tiroler Wissenschafter, der die Keilschrift entziffert wie andere Sudoku.

    Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez explores universal themes in death rituals, examining how funerals, grief, and cultural customs intersect at the National Museum of Funeral History. Museum exhibits include gynecological coffins from Ghana, jazz funerals in Louisiana, and Victorian mourning practices, providing insight into how traditions shape the grieving process and honor the dead. Religion and cultural heritage guide communities through loss, establishing rituals that unite people and create space for healthy grieving. Grief is recognized as an ongoing experience, with individuals choosing solitude or seeking support from loved ones. Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez shares personal experiences with grief and emphasizes practices that foster healing. This conversation is part two of a two-part interview with Ashley Gould for On the Table with Ashley, a podcast dedicated to meaningful conversations across diverse life experiences and professions. Plan your visit to the museum today at nmfh.org and take a journey through over 30,000 square feet of fascinating history. Subscribe to The Final Curtain Never Closes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Key Takeaways 1. Rituals surrounding death are universal, but they vary widely in their practices and meanings. These customs serve dual purposes: aiding the grieving process for the living and, in many traditions, helping the soul or spirit of the deceased to “transcend” or move on. Regardless of the specifics, a common thread is that every culture finds ways to honor and remember loved ones, and most have beliefs about life after death or the soul's journey. 2. Funerary practices, including burial containers like coffins and caskets or unique customs such as Ghanaian fantasy coffins or jazz funerals, reflect both cultural values and practical concerns (like public health). These practices evolve over time—sometimes merging, adapting, or being challenged by modern sensibilities—but always provide structure and meaning during periods of loss. 3. Grief is a lifelong and deeply personal process. The transcript emphasizes that grieving varies from person to person and is affected by culture, tradition, and individual circumstance. Equally important is the message that grief should be honored and experienced—not masked or ignored—as unhealthy grief can have lasting physical and emotional impacts. Support from community, rituals, and sometimes professional help, can be vital. 4. Objects, photography, and even art made from cremains are powerful tools for remembrance and healing. These items enable people to hold on to memories, honor the dead, and sometimes find new ways to process loss. The meaning attached to such objects often transcends their physical material, providing comfort and a sense of continuity. 5. Professionals in the funeral industry are both caretakers and guides for grieving families. The transcript highlights that even those with expertise in death care are affected by grief and must manage personal boundaries and seek support when needed. There's an ongoing need for empathy, community, and sometimes humor, to balance the emotional demands of the profession, as well as recognition of the human aspect behind every role.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    There are five million bird eggs stowed away in museums across the world — and the study of eggs, called oology, can give us great insight into birds. The link between DDT and the decline of Peregrine Falcon populations was identified in part using museum and personal egg collections, and this evidence helped lead to a ban on DDT. And today, Peregrines can still be seen zipping across the sky.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

    Artist and legendary street artist Robbie Conal talks about: His family history, including his two activist-and-politically inclined parents, his background in fighting the power; moving up to Los Osos (in San Luis Obispo County) as a permanent residence (back after the 2008 crash), but keeping a small place in L.A.; what he misses about not being in the city (he's lived in NYC and SF as well as L.A.); his first big moment with public art, through postering, which was born out of caricature paintings he was making of Ronald Reagan's cabinet, which he dubbed 'Men with No Lips,' and alighted through a large postering campaign just as Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, was opening to the public in 1986; how he's Shepard Fairey's OG, and how he was an influence on him as a future street artist (though Fairey said, "I can do that" quite confidently); his personal mantra:  "apply what you do best to what you care about most," which in his case his drawing and talking smack (does best) and American democracy (cares about most); how, to make his work quicker to keep his work temporal, he switched from oil painting to charcoal and then to acrylic with oil accents; how all his friends who have his art (mostly of terrible characters) have them in their toilets; and his most popular work, "Watching, Waiting and Dreaming," a triptych of Gandhi, the Dahli Lama and Martin Luther King. This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of the conversation, available to Patreon supporters, we talk about: How he's sustained himself financially over the decades outside of sales of his work, from teaching to receiving donations to his postering campaigns to lots of (young) volunteers; what he thinks about street art, and mural art, today, and the distinction between graffiti, street art and poster art, and how his reputation saved him from competing street artists when he was postering; our different respective takes on street art, and how Leon Trotsky taught him that everything is political, and street art is inherently political; what he's learned from terrible jobs: mainly, you can't make good art, let alone great art, in your spare time, while holding down a full-time job (and doing the work on the side); the most commonly asked questions he's received about postering (how many times have you been arrested?); how part of your mission as a poster is muscling up for the consequences; and what the best thing is to say to the judge when you're asked why you did it. And for the final 15 minutes of our talk, he covers the breadth of logistics related to putting up posters in public/on the street, which he refers to as 'acts of civil disobedience.'

After closing at the Walker on February 15, "Love Language" will travel to the Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. White Hawk's work is in the collection of institutions such as the Walker, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

    Help us keep the conversations going in 2026. Donate to Conversations with Tyler today. Gaurav Kapadia has deliberately avoided publicity throughout his career in investing, which makes this conversation a rare window into how he thinks. He now runs XN, a firm built around concentrated bets on a small number of companies with long holding periods. However, his education in judgment began much earlier, in a two-family house in Flushing that his parents converted into a four-family house. It was there where a young Gaurav served as de facto landlord, collecting rent and negotiating late payments at age 10. That grounding now expresses itself across an unusual range of domains: Tyler invited him on the show not just as an investor, but as someone with a rare ability to judge quality in cities, talent, art, and more with equal fluency.  Tyler and Gaurav discuss how Queens has thrived without new infrastructure, what he'd change as "dictator" of Flushing, whether Robert Moses should rise or fall in status, who's the most underrated NYC mayor, what's needed to attract better mayoral candidates, the weirdest place in NYC, why he initially turned down opportunities in investment banking for consulting, bonding with Rishi Sunak over railroads, XN's investment philosophy, maintaining founder energy in investment firms and how he hires to prevent complacency, AI's impact on investing, the differences between New York and London finance, the most common fundraising mistake art museums make, why he collects only American artists within 20 years of his own age, what makes Kara Walker and Rashid Johnson and Salman Toor special, whether buying art makes you a better investor, his new magazine Totei celebrating craft and craftsmanship, and much more.
