Show NotesAndrew has noticed that debates within Christianity on the Trinity have become much more prominent recently.  We go back even to the Old Testament and cover the 1stC AD, Church Fathers, Council of Nicaea, the Reformation, and more recent debates following the story.  We marvel at how differences in interpretation have been so divisive, for example how Arian and his views which nearly became Orthodoxy were later so roundly condemned.    Links:Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article:https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/trinity/Doubts Aloud Links:Please keep giving feedback and ask questions using:  doubtsaloud@gmail.com

Josie Iselin is a photographer, author, and book designer, including The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest (2026). She is also a co-director of Above/Below, a campaign to bring the recognition afforded forests on land to the kelp forests below the ocean's surface. Synthesizing the scientific stories of our coasts is her overriding passion, bringing thoughtfulness and stewardship to this extraordinary place of discovery. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Josie introduces us to the overlooked complex underwater world of Bull Kelp forests on the North Pacific coast of the US. Each year, tiny bull kelp saplings explode into sixty-foot “redwoods”, harboring an array of co-dependent species. She describes how their interspecies dramas play out in eight coastal regions, from Alaska to central California, exploring instances of interdependent, compromised, and resilient coastal ecosystems. Humans are also deeply implicated in this saga—by turns beneficiaries, agents of harm, and stewards of these subtidal sanctuaries. https://www.josieiselin.com https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/mysterious-world-of-the-bull-kelp-forest/ https://bullkelp.info Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

After nearly two years in the job, Keir Starmer isn't just disliked or unpopular – he's actually hated in much of the country. But why? How did this unprepossessing and fairly boring man become such a figure of loathing? Has hating politicians no matter who they are become the default position in British politics? Plus: Liz Truss (remember her?) is going to launch her own CPAC and save Britain, again. What is going through that, ahem, unusual mind? And should we maybe scoff less at the idea of a populist revolt and fear it more?

Send us Fan MailThe Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Foresta New Heyday BookI sit down with artist, photographer, and author Josie Iselin, and what begins as a conversation about kelp opens into an exploration of the intricate world in the waters just off our coast.Josie traces her own path into that world—from artist to something closer to a naturalist of the shoreline—guided by curiosity, attention, and a willingness to look closely at what most of us walk past. Kelp, in her telling, is not just seaweed but a kind of language: a way of reading the ocean's health, its rhythms, and its disturbances.We talk about the fragile balance of the kelp forests—about urchin barrens and restoration efforts, including diver-led removal and the promise (and limits) of lab-grown kelp. We touch on kelp's often overstated role as a carbon sink, I learned the meaning of the “wrack line” as a living archive of the sea, and the ongoing tensions around sea otter reintroduction.Threaded through it all is Josie's project Above Below: The Mysterious World of Bull Kelp, created with illustrator Ellen Litwiller—first as a digital exploration, now as a beautifully realized book available where books are sold and at the Henry Miller Library.It's a conversation about paying attention and what the edge of the ocean might still teach us if we take the time to walk down to the shoreline and slow down long enough to see it./MagnusSupport the show_________________________________________________This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!
