Most of Zambia's traditions aren't written down. They've been passed down from generation to generation through word of mouth.

In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Davina Two Bears and Dr. Farina King speak with Dr. Carlton Shield Chief Gover about how Indigenous scholars are reshaping archaeology from within. Carlton reflects on his journey into a field long seen in Native communities as a “colonial science,” and how he now practices what he calls American Indian archaeology, which is centered on tribal sovereignty, government-to-government relationships, and the specific histories and priorities of Native Nations such as the Pawnee Nation.A citizen of the Pawnee Nation, Carlton is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Assistant Curator of Archaeology at the University of Kansas, with affiliate appointments in Museum Studies and Indigenous Studies. He earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Colorado-Boulder, where his dissertation, "The Seeds of Ethnogenesis," examined the formation of Central Great Plains Villages through Indigenous perspectives and advanced chronological modeling. His research focuses on Great Plains archaeology, Indigenous/American Indian archaeology, and the integration of oral traditions with archaeological science.The conversation highlights how treating oral traditions as rigorous historical records, combined with tools like radiocarbon dating, can overturn long-standing academic narratives about migration, corn agriculture, and the deep homelands of Native Nations. Carlton, Davina, and Farina also discuss the emotional and spiritual realities of working in museum collections, the importance of NAGPRA and tribal cultural centers, and why public-facing work like the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast is vital for sharing knowledge with Native communities and inspiring the next generation of Indigenous archaeologists.Resources:Carlton Shield Chief Gover official University of Kansas Department of Anthropology faculty webpageGreat Plains Archaeology PodcastA podcast hosted by Dr. Carlton Shield Chief Gover on the Archaeology Podcast Network, focusing on the archaeology, histories, and communities of the Great Plains region.NAGPRA and Tribal Sovereignty in PracticeFor listeners interested in the legal and ethical context Carlton discusses (sovereignty, compliance, and NAGPRA), see the U.S. National Park Service's official NAGPRA page.Indigenizing Archaeology: Putting Theory into Practice (University Press of Florida)

Sarah and Susie are disturbed by the Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise, and we reminisce about our introduction to the virus thanks to Susie's (unofficial) work on the Gene Hackman investigation. Sarah learned about a collaboration between Prego pasta sauce (??) and Story Corps that will allow you to record family conversations to preserve oral traditions, but we think these people clearly do not know what most family's conversations are actually like. Sarah is working on the Amelia Earhart cold case, and some people now think she landed and made distress calls for days after the plane went missing. She also talks about the Should I Marry a Murderer documentary about a pathologist whose partner confesses to murder, and she faces adversity and mental health issues trying to do the right thing with the information.00:00 - From Pop Songs to WNBA Sports Knowledge06:06 - Floating Toilets & Rodent Poop on Cruises15:43 - Recording Family Dinners with Prego & Story Corps30:18 - Unraveling Amelia Earhart's Fate & Murder Mysteries40:35 - Dresser Drawers, Patriarchy, and Kentucky Derby History49:53 - Should Al Help Us Talk to Animals?

We dive into one of the strangest and most cinematic passages in the entire New Testament: the "resurrection of the saints" in Jerusalem following Jesus crucifixion.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Bob Lanzetti, best known as one of the founding members of Snarky Puppy. I've admired Bob's playing for a long time, so getting the chance to talk with him felt especially meaningful. We begin with something many musicians quietly carry with them: the fear of hand issues and how that concern evolves over the course of a career. Bob reflects honestly on how he thinks about it now compared to earlier years.From there, we rewind to the beginning—growing up around his dad's guitar, discovering The Beatles, and the simple invitation that changed everything: “Learn this song and you can sit in with my band.” That moment set Bob firmly on the path toward becoming a guitarist. He traces his journey through early mentors, jazz studies, and eventually to the University of North Texas, where he found a musical community that would change his life—and where Snarky Puppy first came together.We spend time talking about the musical ecosystem around North Texas as well, especially the gospel and R&B scenes that shaped Bob's ear in ways the classroom couldn't. Bob shares how Snarky Puppy actually learns and rehearses music—often through oral tradition, demos, and Logic sessions—and how the band's three-guitar setup works without stepping on each other's sonic space. Along the way, he reflects on something younger musicians often overlook: the importance of restraint, listening, and self-balancing within a band.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on Bob's Nosferatu project, where he composed and performed an original score for the classic silent film during the COVID years. That project opened the door to exploring 20th-century classical textures, string writing, layered guitars, and production techniques. We wrap up by talking about the wide range of influences that shape Bob's music—from Charlie Christian and Jim Hall to Sonic Youth and Derek Bailey—and what's ahead in 2026, including GroundUP Festival, touring with Snarky Puppy alongside the Metropole Orchestra, his trio work, and the growing role of producing in his creative life.Key TakeawaysMusicians confront physical concerns over time — long careers require resilience and perspective.Early invitations can shape a life path — a simple opportunity to sit in with a band set Bob on the guitar journey.Community matters — the University of North Texas and the surrounding Dallas scene were foundational for Snarky Puppy.Listening and restraint define great band playing — especially in complex ensemble settings like a three-guitar lineup.Musical learning often happens by ear — oral tradition and demos play a huge role in how bands develop material.Creative side projects expand the palette — Bob's Nosferatu score opened the door to new textures and production ideas.Producing can become another creative outlet — shaping the sound of recordings scratches the same itch as performing.Music from the EpisodeB - Bob LanzettiAnonymous - Bob LanzettiThe Seven Deadly Sins (from Nosferatu) - Bob LanzettiJenny is a Donkey - Bob LanzettiAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

We live in a world flooded with stories, opinions, and noise, and I find myself wondering which ones are actually worth giving our attention to. In this conversation, I sit down with mythologist and storyteller Martin Shaw to explore why some stories shape us toward life while others quietly hollow us out. We talk about myths that function like prayers rather than spells, why Jesus taught through parables, and how stories still have the power to form us into more loving, grounded human beings.Martin shares his own unexpected journey back to Christianity through a long wilderness vigil and reflects on grief, evil, beauty, and the kind of attention that makes something holy. This is a conversation about becoming human again, about learning how to see clearly, and about allowing the story of Jesus to break our enchantments and draw us toward love.Martin Shaw is a writer, mythographer and Christian thinker. He's Visiting Scholar at the Divinity Faculty of Cambridge University, and a Fellow of the Temenos Academy. Author of seventeen books, Dr Shaw is the director of the Westcountry School of Myth and founder of the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University. His book Bardskull was described as “rich and transgressive” by Erica Wagner in The Sunday Times and was Book of the Day in The Guardian. A hugely respected oral storyteller, Shaw has toured internationally numerous times, and led symposiums at both Oxford and Cambridge University, Robert Bly describing him as “a true master, one of the very greatest storytellers we have.” His more recent work is what he describes as a developing “Christian mythopoetics”—a reminder of the depth and mysticism latent in this middle-eastern mystery religion. Shaw converted to Eastern Orthodoxy after a 101-day vigil in a Dartmoor forest. He still lives nearby to the wood, writing and teaching. The Irish Times call Martin “a seanchaí, an interloper from the medieval.”, Charles Foster adding, “there's Shaw and there's everyone else.”Martin's Book:Liturgies of the WildMartin's Recommendation:Our Thoughts Determine Our LivesConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

PREVIEW THE FOLKLORE OF THE ONLY A MAN STORY Colleague Nathaniel Philbrick. Nathaniel Philbrickdiscusses a recurring oral tradition where Washington, touring the country, tells awestruck observers that despite his title, he is "only a man." Philbrick argues these stories, though absent from contemporary newspapers, likely reflect Washington's genuine efforts to humanize the presidency and acknowledge his own flaws.1787 ASHINGTON DEPARTS NEW YORK.

HOMER'S NARRATIVE CHOICES AND ORAL TRADITION Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. Wilsondiscusses the "Homeric Question," noting that oral stories existed for centuries before the alphabet arrived in the 8th century BCE. She highlights the Iliad's sophisticated narrative structure, which omits famous events like the Apple of Discord and the Trojan Horse to focus intensely on a specific period of the war. The conversation compares the Iliad'sfocus on Greek infighting with Virgil's Aeneid, noting the distinct goals of each epic tradition. NUMBER 2 500 AD ALEXANDRIA

In this Catholic Answers Live episode, we address the Catholic appeal to oral tradition beyond Scripture. The discussion examines historical evidence that apostolic oral traditions persisted in the early Church, explains St. Paul's teaching in 2 Thessalonians 3:6 on holding fast to received tradition, and responds to objections from Mark 7 regarding “traditions of men.” The episode concludes by addressing the problem of a fallible authority being required to identify the infallible canon of Scripture, offering a coherent Catholic defense of Sacred Tradition and biblical authority. Questions Covered: 00:30 – The Catholic's Appeal to Oral Traditions Beyond Scripture 18:23 – Do we have any evidence that some oral traditions persisted? 29:35 – The Catholic's Use of 2 Thess. 3:6—“stay away from brother who does not walk in accord with the tradition received” 44:25 – The Catholic's Counter to Mark 7 and the “traditions of men” Argument 47:45 – The Catholic's Counter to a Fallible List of Infallible Books

Hello to you listening in Spokane, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.“I will tell you something about stories, he saidThey aren't just entertainment.Don't be fooled.They are all we have, you see,all we have to fight offillness and death.”   ~ Leslie Marmon Silko, Haida Ceremony [The Golden Spruce by John Vaillant, p. 145]Haida NationI may be an old fashioned storyteller clinging to the oral tradition, especially when working with your narratives that function as origin stories, creation myths, messages of all kinds to be seen, heard, understood, repeated and followed, as well as cautions for the young and memories for the elders. Why do I insist on the music of the spoken word? Because that's where the magic happens: at the intersection of the story, the listener, and the teller's voice with its cadence, tone, inflection, repetition, pacing, and energy.So much gets lost in translation to the printed page.

“Is unwritten apostolic teaching unreliable?” This question opens a discussion on the reliability of oral traditions in the Catholic faith. The conversation also touches on uncontested apostolic beliefs beyond Scripture and whether all oral traditions eventually became part of Scripture, providing a comprehensive look at the role of tradition in Catholic teaching.

The Homeric Question and Narrative Choices: Colleague Emily Wilson addresses the "Homeric Question," describing the transition from oral tradition to written text around the 8th century BCE, discussing how the Iliad subverts audience expectations by omitting famous events like the Trojan Horse, focusing instead on a brief period of intense conflict and internal Greek strife. 1200 AD ILLIAD

Send us a textWith a recent video - not sure if it's fake or real - that's going viral on socials of a massive, mythic bird - had to know more about thunderbirds. We called hydroplanes that raced on the Columbia River thunderbirds for their massive roar and crazy wake. There were hotels named Thunderbird Lodge in Washington state, too. And I grew up a Seahawks fan whose logo is a riff and a nod to the mighty thunderbird as depicted on Northwest tribe totems. The thunderbird means something different to each tribe, and tribe member. And some secrets aren't meant for uninitiated ears.Show Sources1898 Story of the Thunderbird from Oregon's Tillamook Tribe, Franz Boas, PNSNThunderbird (mythology), Daniel Horowitz, EBSCORulers of the Upper Realm, Thunderbirds Are Powerful Native Spirits, Audubon MagazineI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

The Bible relies heavily on oral tradition, even though it is written. Why is that the case? How did early Christians learn about Jesus? How did they interact with Scriptures, and what role did oral tradition play in the Church? Is oral tradition reliable, and if so, how?

Rachel and Eddie talk about television, snacks, writing, moving, pets, haircuts, and a bunch of other stuff.

We explore the tension between private creative work and public output—why some projects stay hidden in desk drawers, what gets lost when we don't capture ideas in the moment, and how the act of recording thoughts (whether on paper, voice memo, or typewriter) shapes what eventually gets made. The conversation moves through the craft of writing, from Dostoevsky dictating novels to assistants to the question of whether our image-saturated culture has made us illiterate in different ways than previous generations.The second half examines our complicated relationship with technology: the gratitude for AI tools that eliminate tedious tasks versus the frustration when a 2019 truck takes 45 seconds to connect to CarPlay in 2025. We discuss why analog tools aren't about nostalgia but about reliability—buying things that work the same way in year six as they did on day one, seeking friction and discomfort as antidotes to seamless existence, and recognizing that many technological "solutions" only fix problems technology itself created. Through references to Orson Welles films and a discussion of One Battle, we land on the strange appeal of living without constant connectivity, even as we acknowledge we'll never fully escape it. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

This conversation with Peter delves into the rich history and culture of Britain, exploring the interplay between myth and reality, particularly through the lens of Arthurian legends and the influence of Christianity. We also delve into the exploration of ancient civilizations, focusing on archaeological finds, the Neolithic period, and the connections between zodiac symbols and historical narratives.

Peter also touches on the idea of secret knowledge being passed down through generations, highlighting the intertwining of history and mythology in understanding our past. We look for connections between the Holy Grail, the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the historical context of King Arthur.   Join our Patreon, support the show, get extra content and early access! https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent Support the show with a paypal donation: https://paypal.me/snakebros   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Brothers of the Serpent Podcast 04:43 The Legends of Lud and His Sons 12:04 Historical and Mythological Figures in Welsh Tradition 16:29 The National vs. Regional Arthur 18:12 The Significance of Memorials and Inscriptions 20:59 Discussion on Archaeological Findings 25:36 The Significance of Burial Practices 27:26 Christianity's Arrival in Britain 30:11 Joseph of Arimathea's Role in Early Christianity 33:07 Cultural Interactions and Language Barriers 36:01 Legends of Jesus' Missing Years 38:33 Neolithic Monuments and Their Mysteries 43:00 The Zodiac and Ancient Mapping 47:16 Exploring the Legacy of Arthurian Legends 47:45 Exploring Ancient Monuments and Zodiacs 49:12 The Transition from Neolithic to Bronze Age 51:17 The Story of Queen Albine and Her Legacy 52:39 Cultural Exchanges and Influences in Ancient Britain 56:20 The Role of Adventurers in Knowledge Exchange 01:01:25 Connecting Myths: The Epic of Gilgamesh and Welsh Traditions 01:07:23 The Significance of Mapping and Surveying in Ancient Cultures 01:12:16 Hidden Knowledge and Ancient Traditions 01:15:25 The Glastonbury Zodiac and Its Significance 01:19:10 Arthurian Legends and Secret Knowledge 01:22:38 The Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail 01:24:45 The Bronze Age and Trade Routes 01:32:39 Hillforts and Their Historical Context 01:38:40 Political Upheaval and Innovation 01:40:59 Chariots: A Historical Perspective 01:42:58 The Continuation of Ancient Traditions 01:44:06 The Etruscans and the Fall of Troy 01:44:57 The Legend of King Arthur 01:48:09 Mythologizing Historical Figures 01:52:00 The Role of Oral Tradition 02:00:00 Druidism and Its Evolution 02:10:00 Cultural Interactions and Historical Contexts

Life and everything we know about is just a story. And this story and all the others that create our consensus reality originated with the nonverbal and verbal passing on of information through grand tales of adventure, danger and intrigue. And within those stories, are so many vivid and often frightening characters. Puppeteer Mike Patrei has been bringing these creatures and characters to life with Puppet Paranormal. He joins me to discuss the tradition of oral history and how he found himself in the worlds of puppets and the paranormal. We have a special drop-in guest, one of the most legendary characters who has been frightening misbehaving children for centuries - Baby Yaga.

Send us a textLast week we began our trek across the bridge to the celestial! We remembered our connection to the stars, and their connection to our very DNA.From a deep dive into birth charts to the ways the stars have pressed into the soul of Night Sky Tourist, there's no doubt about the influence of the Sun and Moon and stars have on us!  How about legends of  werewolves? Humans changing into half-dog, half-human beasts during a full moon. Do our moods change based on lunar or solar activity? How the Sun and Moon Influence HumansFirst the Sun - It is  what some have called the hearth and heart of our planet.Did you know our Sun accounts for 99.8% of our solar system's mass? That fact comes from NASA. And it's no wonder the Earth, and us, its inhabitants are influenced by it, because Earth exists INSIDE the Sun's atmosphere. You heard that right. Outside that heliosphere is interstellar space. NASA continues, "The Sun doesn't have a solid surface like Earth and the other rocky planets and moons. The part of the Sun commonly called its surface is the photosphere. The word photosphere means "light sphere" – which is apt because this is the layer that emits the most visible light. It's what we see from Earth with our eyes." (and they remind us to never look directly at the Sun without eye protection)And then there's this; " In one of the Sun's biggest mysteries, the corona is much hotter than the layers immediately below it. (Imagine walking away from a bonfire only to get warmer.) The source of coronal heating is a major unsolved puzzle in the study of the Sun."What to Read/Listen/Watch NEXT!A Beginner's Guide to Reading a Birth Chart, ELLE Magazine, Madison FellerBeginner's Guide to Reading a VEDIC Birth Chart, Melooha.com, Dr. Vineeta PhatakPast Life in the Natal Chart, Astrologgia.com, Daria RoweFour Elements in Astrology, Moonletter.co.uk, Ben BelinskySun Facts, NASA.govSolar Flares: Effects on Humans, Heath.com, Amanda MacMillanInterpreting 5 Ancient Constellations Across Cultures, Discover Magazine, Joshua Rapp LearnOrion Across Three Cultures, NightSkyTourist.comI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

Send us a textWe are in the dog days of summer.  It's a season of campouts, when a tent pitched in a backyard offers cool relief from sunny days. Those magical nights are a bridge to the celestial realm. From stories written in the stars to the placement of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of our birth, to the impact Moon phases and Sun spots have on our human bodies? The bridge to the celestial realm awaits. Let's step onto it.The Celestial BridgeWhen I think of the bridge to the celestial, I picture the crystal rainbow from the Thor movie that stretched from Asgard to other realms.The stars and our place among them has birthed questions we humans have pondered since ancient times. Tales have been woven from that vast blanket of light that speak of heroes, villains, cautionary tales, mythical beasts, revenge, and more. The placement of the moon, the sun, and constellations signaled the time to plant crops, hunt, store for winter, and hunker down. The sight of comets and meteor showers were often seen as omens, signs from the gods that seeded legends we repeat today.We still look to the stars, the sun and phases of the moon to better feel our connection to the Universe. Those celestial bodies inspire the mystery of us, in a way that feels secret, sacred and sometimes haunting.In fact, the cosmos inspired their own fiction genre known as Cosmic Horror. Heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft, Cosmic Horror focuses on the insignificance of humans, the unsettling nature of the Universe, and cosmic entities that can be threatening, or seem intimidating at the very least.What to Read/Listen/Watch NEXT!A Beginner's Guide to Reading a Birth Chart, ELLE Magazine, Madison FellerBeginner's Guide to Reading a VEDIC Birth Chart, Melooha.com, Dr. Vineeta PhatakPast Life in the Natal Chart, Astrologgia.com, Daria RoweFour Elements in Astrology, Moonletter.co.uk, Ben BelinskySun Facts, NASA.govSolar Flares: Effects on Humans, Heath.com, Amanda MacMillanInterpreting 5 Ancient Constellations Across Cultures, Discover Magazine, Joshua Rapp LearnOrion Across Three Cultures, NightSkyTourist.comI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

Hello to you listening in Pender Island, BC, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.I will tell you something about stories. They didn't come first. They came second. What do I mean?Our oral tradition of narratives, origin stories, creation myths, and so on - up to the present time - came about because we are a meaning-seeking people. Our ancestors looked up into the heavens, saw comets and asked, “What does this mean?” The same with weather patterns, crop failures, upheavals - virtually anything they encountered and did not understand. They created stories to make sense of things, to remember the meanings. They shared those stories with other humans to connect, to bear witness to the lives they were living. And the same is true today.CTA: What would you like to learn about the meaning and power of story? When you're ready I can help.  You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Today, the “four pale horsemen” of war, famine, pestilence and death have broken into our comfortable lives once again.  As the climate emergency and shortage become normalised, how do we live through crisis after crisis without falling into fear and anxiety on the one hand, or agitated reaction and rage on the other?  Do we face the horsemen, go into denial or settle for the dull throb of numbness? And how do we maintain contact with the heart, with soul, with love and compassion? In this week's classic episode, Andrew speaks with award-winning poet, author and teacher William Ayot about: ⭐️The burdens men carry ⭐️The healing power of ritual ⭐️Male loneliness and how men's groups help ⭐️Confronting shame and anger As well as his writing and poetry, William Ayot leads workshops and seminars on personal development topics and creates and conducts private rituals and ceremonies.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Jerry shares his fascinating revelations during prayer concerning the prophet Zoroaster's profound encounter with the divine.Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest known monotheistic religions, but few know its rich history—largely preserved through oral tradition—that allows us to understand what God was communicating to Zoroaster through the cosmic battle between good and evil.In this powerful narrative, we're introduced to the figure of Ahura Mazda—the embodiment of wisdom and goodness—and His counterpart, the Hostile Spirit, often perceived as God's “evil twin.” This story dives into the eternal struggle between light and darkness, a central theme in Zoroastrian belief and one still deeply relevant to the modern spiritual seeker.Join us as we explore these ancient revelations and how they continue to echo in our understanding of the divine, the nature of evil, and the choices our souls are called to make.Are you paying attention? Visit godanautobiography.com for more information and to get your copy of God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher — the true story of an agnostic philosopher who heard the voice of God and recorded their conversations.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Life Wisdom Project: How to live a wiser, happier, and more meaningful life with special guests.From God To Jerry To You: Calling for the attention of spiritual seekers everywhere, featuring breakthroughs, pathways, and illuminations.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: Sit in on a dialogue between philosophers about God and the questions we all have.What's On Our Mind- Connect the dots with Jerry and Scott over the most recent series of episodes.What's On Your Mind: What are readers and listeners saying?

How did his letters become so central to Christian theology, and what happens when we begin to question that authority? Are all the Pauline epistles actually written by Paul? What if the Paul we know today is a constructed figure—reshaped by the church over time to fit emerging doctrines? And what about the voices that didn't get amplified—texts like James or the Didache that present a very different version of the Jesus movement? Nate and Shel explore how canon formation, authorship debates, and theological evolution all intersect in the story of Paul, and why rethinking his role might change how we read the entire Bible.

979. In the first segment, we unravel the mysteries surrounding the origins and transformation of punctuation. From the early days when words ran together without spaces, to the introduction of punctuation systems by scholars like Aristophanes, we explore how punctuation has played a pivotal role in shaping written communication. In the second segment, we look at noun clusters that can gum up your writing. You'll see how simple steps like reordering, adding clarifying words, and transforming nouns into verbs can transform noun clusters from mind-bending to crystal clear. > The punctuation segment was written by Valerie Fridland, a professor of linguistics at the University of Nevada in Reno and the author of "Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English." You can find her at valeriefridland.com.> The noun clusters segment was written by Samantha Enslen, who runs Dragonfly Editorial.
