Do you love the dark?  Do you yearn for sunset and the amber glow of a fire with the night growing deeper, more inspiring all around you?  Most of us don't - though our ancestors through all of history have lived by firelight, moonlight, starlight... until the modern era of light at the flick of a switch.  But there's a world out there of sheer, unadulterated magic that is only revealed when we put aside the lights and the phones and the torches and step out into the night  - as this week's guest has done.

Fray Antonio de Sedella fue un capuchino que, desde Nueva Orleans, algunos autores sostienen que dirigió una red de espionaje para la Corona de España. Durante décadas recopiló informes, cifró mensajes y suministró inteligencia estratégica sobre movimientos británicos. Sus acciones, junto a las de Juan de Miralles, facilitaron la intervención española en la guerra de independencia de EE. UU. Sedella operó en el sigilo absoluto; murió en 1829 sin que muchos supieran de su papel real. Hoy se le reconoce como un artífice clandestino que, con su fe y su astucia, dejó huella en la historia de América. Y descubre más historias curiosas en el canal National Geographic y en Disney +.

What is the secret to 15 years of trust and slow, ethical work inside the Hutterite communities? Canadian photographer Tim Smith shows us exactly how he built the deep, long-term relationships that define his career. Tim spent years immersed in these communal, traditional societies across the Canadian Prairies, perfecting a slow-work philosophy that allows him to portray their lives with the depth and nuance they deserve. His images have appeared in major magazines, including National Geographic, and his work has been exhibited in many countries to date. In this warm and honest talk, we dive into the challenges of that commitment. Tim opens up about why he now questions the pressure of the "all-in" photojournalism lifestyle and the essential need to prioritize family life. Hear about his wonderful crazy new project “Chaff”, the secret joy of eating supper in a combine during harvest, listen to some wonderful stories about the amazing Hutterite communities, where we talk about emotional moments or have a good laugh too of course. Hit play for a masterclass in wonderful patient and empathetic documentary work. Enjoy it! *****

“El jardín de las delicias”, la obra más famosa de El Bosco, es un mundo lleno de símbolos donde se mezclan el placer, el pecado y el castigo. Todo empieza en un Paraíso que ya muestra señales de peligro, y pasa a una escena central donde las personas disfrutan de placeres extraños, rodeadas de frutas gigantes y seres fantásticos. Pero detrás de esa belleza se esconde una advertencia. En el último panel, el Infierno muestra el precio de los excesos: instrumentos musicales convertidos en herramientas de tortura hasta demonios que castigan sin descanso.

Last year, a group of adventurers with National Geographic were hiking Mount Everest when they saw a human foot sticking out of the ice. Now, it is not rare to see dead bodies on the mountain, there are at least 200 of them scattered around Everest, and many of them act as markers for trails, frozen forever in time where they fell But this human foot in particular, had been on the mountain for 100 years and solved a century old mystery… Subscribe on⁠ Patreon⁠ to become a member of our Rogue Detecting Society and enjoy ad-free listening, monthly bonus content, merch discounts and more.

Derrotado en Worcester en 1651, Carlos II huyó por Inglaterra perseguido por las tropas de Cromwell. Durante su fuga, pasó un día entero oculto en las ramas de un roble —el célebre Royal Oak— mientras los soldados registraban los alrededores. Semanas después logró escapar a Francia. Años más tarde, en 1660, regresó triunfante con la restauración de la monarquía. El árbol que lo protegió se convirtió en un símbolo nacional, recordado en celebraciones, nombres de lugares y la identidad monárquica británica. Una historia real que parece sacada de una leyenda.

It had been exhausting. It had been challenging. But Emma Gatewood refused to give up on her dream to solo thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. So? She kept going. As she hiked, media outlets chronicled her journey. They dubbed her Grandma Gatewood. When she finished, Emma became the first woman to solo thru-hike the 2,168 mile Appalachian Trail. But Grandma Gatewood's hiking days were far from finished. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Today, Razib talks to Coltan Scrivner, a behavioral scientist, horror entertainment producer, and author, whose work centers on the psychological and evolutionary roots of our fascination with darkness, horror, and true crime. He is affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University. Scrivner also serves as the executive director of the Nightmare in the Ozarks Film Festival and founded the Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl. He has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, TIME Magazine, National Geographic, Scientific American and Forbes. He is the author of Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can't Look Away, where he explores how our fascination with horror functions as a survival-oriented, yet deeply human, impulse. Though working in psychology and behavior, Scrivner's original training is in biological the sciences, and Razib first probes him on the possible evolutionary origins of our persistent interest in horror, and why we might actually be attracted to the phenomenon in the first place. Scrivner also explains how the horror genre differs from other narrative forms, in particular, the power imbalance that makes heroic action and tension much more difficult. Horror, in fact, primarily leverages our intuitions about how predator and prey interact, more than a battle between peers. Scriver also discusses the relationship between fear and our dreams, and the various psychological and evolutionary theories for why we might have so many nightmares.

Alan Lowe is joined in this episode of AMSEcast by Dr. Robin Andrews, volcanologist, science journalist, and author of How to Kill an Asteroid. Dr. Andrews explores how modern planetary defense blends cutting-edge detection networks, such as NASA's NEO Surveyor, with active deflection efforts like the DART mission, which successfully shifted an asteroid's orbit. He also delves into theoretical approaches, including gravity tractors and even nuclear options as last-resort strategies. While comets remain a tougher, faster-moving threat, advances in technology continue to make catastrophic impacts increasingly unlikely.

Una ciudad española honra cada año a un héroe irlandés caído lejos de su tierra: Red Hugh O'Donnell, líder de la resistencia gaélica contra Inglaterra, murió en 1602 en Castilla mientras buscaba apoyo de la corona española. Aunque no está claro si sus restos llegaron realmente a Valladolid, la corte de Felipe III ordenó para él un solemne funeral de Estado en el desaparecido Convento de San Francisco. Hoy, más de cuatro siglos después, la ciudad recrea ese homenaje mientras historiadores y arqueólogos siguen rastreando el enigma de su paradero.

El 8 de noviembre de 1939, un sencillo carpintero alemán estuvo a punto de cambiar la historia. Georg Elser colocó una bomba en la cervecería donde Hitler daba su discurso anual, pero el dictador abandonó el lugar minutos antes de la explosión. Elser actuó solo, con recursos propios, convencido de que así evitaría una guerra. Fue arrestado, interrogado y ejecutado en 1945. Durante décadas, su historia quedó en la sombra, pese a haber protagonizado uno de los actos de resistencia más audaces del nazismo. Descubre la historia de quienes se atrevieron a desafiar al régimen del terror. Todo en la miniserie de 3 capítulos ‘Asesinar a Hitler'.

There is the version of running glamorized in sneaker commercials, depicting strong and resilient runners who get up early, no matter the weather, and hit the pavement to get their run in. For new runners, that version of running often isn't their reality. Dr. Philip Skiba knows running. In advance of the 2012 London Olympic Games, he developed a novel mathematical system to guide athlete training and performance, culminating in gold and bronze medals for the U.K. Men's Triathlon Squad. Dr. Skiba serves on the medical boards of both USA Triathlon and USA Cycling and accompanied Team USA to the World Championships in Australia. Dr. Skiba worked on an international project to help Eliud Kipchoge run the first sub-two-hour marathon, setting a new world record. His efforts were detailed in the award-winning documentary “Breaking2,” produced by National Geographic. He has personally coached dozens of elite endurance athletes and Olympic medalists. Dr. Skiba also specializes in sports medicine and sees patients at the Jefferson Orthopedics & Sports Medicine – Walnut Street office and at Jefferson Health – Navy Yard.

En la Nochebuena de 1734 se desató un incendio devastador en el Real Alcázar madrileño, mientras la Corte celebraba en el Palacio del Pardo. El fuego —que pudo originarse en el taller del pintor de corte Jean Ranc— se propagó sin control durante cuatro días. Se salvaron algunas joyas reales y unas mil obras de arte, pero más de 500 cuadros, documentos del Archivo de Indias y valiosas colecciones se perdieron para siempre. El Alcázar quedó reducido a escombros, y Felipe V decidió edificar en su lugar el actual Palacio Real, cuya construcción arrancó en 1738.

As we move into the end of the year, I'm excited to return to our recurring series “What's New in Science” with my co-host Sabine Hossenfelder. In this month's episode, we started by tackling a favorite subject: scientific hype. Sabine kicked things off by dissecting a recent, highly suspect press release claiming a million-qubit quantum computer is on the horizon. I then brought up a National Geographic article claiming that “warp drive is speeding closer to reality” , and we discussed the reasons why it actually isn't, including the need for “negative energy,” that keep it firmly in the realm of science fiction.From there, Sabine steered us into the world of academic accolades, discussing the controversy around last year's Nobel Prize in Physics for work on neural networks and the collaborative nature of science. I then introduced this year's prize, which was awarded for the beautiful and precise experimental work on seemingly macroscopic manifestations of quantum mechanics—specifically, showing a superconducting quantum state can “tunnel” through a barrier.Finally, we turned to cosmic mysteries. Sabine presented a report on search for “Dark Stars,” a theory that the first stars might have been powered by dark matter annihilation , which require some wishful thinking and what I think are not particularly well motivated physics. For full disclosure this is an issue I thought about in a slightly different context almost 40 years ago and have some a priori skepticism about. I closed with a much more plausible bit of exotic physics that may have been observed: new observations of long-lived gamma-ray bursts. A new model suggests these are caused by a black hole that has merged with a star and is consuming it from the inside out. From wild hype to implausible and plausible models to Nobel-winning physics, I hope you enjoy the conversation.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

Fue redescubierta en el año 2000 por el arqueólogo submarino Franck Goddio. Construida originalmente sobre islas del delta del Nilo, fue un imponente puerto que conectaba Egipto con el comercio del Mediterráneo y un centro de culto religioso. En las últimas décadas, los buzos han desenterrado templos, estatuas colosales, monedas y vestigios que revelan el esplendor perdido de una metrópolis que pervivió en la memoria hasta ser rescatada del olvido.

Emma Gatewood was embarrassed. Her first attempt at solo hiking the Appalachian Trail had been a disaster. But she was nothing if not determined. So, Emma tried again. On her second attempt, the 67-year-old grandmother was better prepared. Although the trail proved challenging, she kept going. Soon, the media took notice. If she completed the 2,000+ mile hike, Emma Gatewood (aka Grandma Gatewood) would become the first woman to solo thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Brown, Andrew. “Skyline Trail from Maine to Georgia.” National Geographic, August 1949. Huston, Peter, dir.

A disarmingly personal account of the new science of memory manipulation by one of today's leading pioneers in the fieldAs a graduate student at MIT, Steve Ramirez successfully created false memories in the lab. Now, as a neuroscientist working at the frontiers of brain science, he foresees a future where we can replace our negative memories with positive ones. In How to Change a Memory, Ramirez draws on his own memories--of friendship, family, loss, and recovery--to reveal how memory can be turned on and off like a switch, edited, and even constructed from nothing.A future in which we can change our memories of the past may seem improbable, but in fact, the everyday act of remembering is one of transformation. Intentionally editing memory to improve our lives takes advantage of the brain's natural capacity for change.In How to Change a Memory, Ramirez explores how scientists discovered that memories are fluid--they change over time, can be erased, reactivated, and even falsely implanted in the lab. Reflecting on his own path as a scientist, he examines how memory manipulation shapes our imagination and sense of self. If we can erase a deeply traumatic memory, would it change who we are? And what would that change mean anyway? Throughout, Ramirez carefully considers the ethics of artificially controlling memory, exploring how we might use this tool responsibly--for both personal healing and the greater good.A masterful blend of memoir and cutting-edge science, How to Change a Memory explores how neuroscience has reached a critical juncture, where scientists can see the potential of memory manipulation to help people suffering from the debilitating effects of PTSD, anxiety, Alzheimer's, addiction, and a host of other neurological and behavioral disorders.Steve Ramirez has been featured on CNN, NPR, and the BBC and in leading publications such as The New York Times, National Geographic, Wired, Forbes, The Guardian, The Economist, and Nature. An award-winning neuroscientist who has given TED talks on his groundbreaking work on memory manipulation, he is associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9780691266688

      Why do we deliberately seek out fear—only to feel more alive afterward?      This week on Love University, we're exploring the psychology of horror with acclaimed supernatural thriller author Monica Kastle, creator of the Cascade Wolves series. Known for suspenseful plots, richly layered characters, and emotionally intelligent writing, Kastle crafts stories that don't just scare you—they awaken something deeper in your mind and heart.     Here's what we uncovered about why fear fascinates us—and how her novels hook into our most primal wiring: Fear is our brain's rehearsal room.     Monica's novels serve as controlled “threat simulators.” When we read scary scenes, the amygdala—the brain's fear center—fires off as if we're in danger. But the rational brain knows we're safe, creating a unique tension loop. That loop, according to National Geographic, helps us process stress more efficiently. Horror fans often show greater emotional regulation and resilience—because they've practiced fear in a safe container.     Kastle's work gives readers that exact laboratory: fear without real harm, emotional risk without real loss. And the payoff? A psychological sense of mastery. The adrenaline-to-euphoria connection.    Kastle's books build suspense through rising tension, then release it through resolution. This taps into what scientists call excitation transfer: the idea that physiological arousal (like increased heart rate and sweaty palms) intensifies whatever emotion follows it. So when the monster disappears—or the hero survives—we feel extra relief, even joy.This adrenaline -to-euphoria payoff is hardwired in us. It's why scary stories can be strangely uplifting. Monica's smart layering of supernatural danger and emotional stakes creates exactly this effect—fear that leads to catharsis (emotional release). We learn from the worst-case scenario.       Horror stories are deeply instructive. We unconsciously collect survival strategies as we read: What would I do in that cabin? Would I trust that character? How would I escape that pack of wolves? This “morbid curiosity” isn't unhealthy—it's evolutionary. Research during COVID-19 showed that horror fans were more psychologically prepared for uncertainty and threat.       Kastle's readers aren't just along for the ride. They're gathering intel. Her fiction activates our learning brain while thrilling our emotional core. Fear sharpens connection.       One of the most fascinating psychological effects of horror is called misattribution of arousal. It means we can confuse fear for attraction. In a famous 1974 study, men were more likely to feel romantic interest after crossing a dangerous suspension bridge than a safe one. That's because fear spikes adrenaline—which mimics the symptoms of romantic excitement.      Kastle's Cascade Wolves plays on this beautifully. Tense survival scenes mirror this “bridge effect,” where readers find themselves rooting not just for safety—but for slow-burn intimacy. Fear and empathy merge, drawing us closer to the characters and to ourselves. From fear to growth.      In Cascade Wolves, Kastle's heroines don't just run from fear—they grow through it. This mirrors what psychologists call “coping rehearsal.” Just as physical exercise strengthens the body, scary stories help train emotional muscles. Readers learn to manage panic, slow their breathing, and stay alert in high-pressure moments—all while sitting safely on the couch.    That's the deeper brilliance of Kastle's work: her stories aren't just entertainment. They're emotional conditioning.    Monica Kastle uses the language of fear to teach courage, deepen empathy, and rewire how we experience stress and safety. If you've ever wondered why we love scary stories—or how they help us heal—this episode    will change the way you think about horror.      

When Emma Gatewood set off on the Appalachian Trail, she didn't look like much of a hiker. She was 67 years old. She wore a pair of Keds. She had no training. But she figured that wouldn't matter. An article in National Geographic magazine claimed that anyone in “normal good health” could hike the 2,169-mile trail. The article was misleading, but Emma persevered. In 1955, “Grandma Gatewood” became the first woman to complete a solo hike of the Appalachian Trail.  In this episode, we learn what Emma overcame, including domestic violence and sexual abuse, before she set foot on the trail.  Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!
