Today, I'm talking with Slydio CEO Adam Bry, who runs the leading US maker of autonomous drones. We covered a lot in this conversation, including Skydio's police and government work at a time when military use of AI is more controversial than ever and competing with Chinese drones against the backdrop of the Trump's administration's DJI ban. There's a lot in this one – maybe more than anything, it was refreshing to hear Adam talk about using AI to bring even more people to work at Skydio as the company expands. I also got to fly a drone, which ruled.

ENTERTAINING SHORT FILMS is a new category on the RPA Network, which features indie short films for your enjoyment! We applaud these creators! A talking parrot's truth will change the course of history, when it leads young Nabil to finding something that has been hidden for centuries.

Parrots are flock animals, and when they live in our homes, we become a part of their flock. In this episode, our hosts talk about how parrots constantly “read the room,” and how the emotional environment of a household can shape a bird's stress level, trust, and overall wellbeing. We break down why social awareness is hardwired into parrots (a behavior that does not disappear in captivity), introduce the idea of your home's “emotional weather,” and discuss real-life household patterns: conflict, constant intensity, chronic stress, chaos, or isolation, that can wear on a bird over time even when no one means to cause it harm. Also covered are common clues that a parrot may not feel consistently safe or settled (like hypervigilance, screaming for attention, refusing to leave the cage, or stress behaviors). Concluding with a brief research-based note on why some parrots are simply more stress-sensitive than others (Cussen & Mench, 2015).

With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival. Deb Olin Unferth is the author of seven books, including the novels Barn 8 and Vacation, the memoir Revolution, finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award, two story collections, and the graphic novel I, Parrot. Her fiction and essays have appeared in over fifty magazines and journals, including Harper's, the New York Times, The Paris Review, Granta, and McSweeney's. She has received a Guggenheim fellowship, three Pushcart Prizes, a Creative Capital Fellowship for Innovative Literature, fellowships from the MacDowell, Yaddo, and Ucross residencies.  She's a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches for the Michener Center, the New Writers' Project, and she also directs the Pen City Writers, the prison creative-writing program at a south Texas penitentiary. Unferth founded and directs the Pen City Writers, a creative writing program for incarcerated men at a maximum-security prison in south Texas. The program has been running for ten years, and the students regularly win writing awards from Pen America and the Insider Prize. Their work has appeared in many places, including Vice, StoryQuarterly, the Texas Observer, the Stranger's Guide, and the Marshall Project. Deb and her friend, Lucy Corin, have gone on several research and writing trips together, including to the Sahara Desert for the sand; in 2024, they spent a month in the Arctic to see ice, trying to get as close to the North Pole as possible, and reaching the 82nd parallel. Last year, they rented two pods in a scrub desert Dark Sky area of the US to see darkness. Originally from Chicago, Unferth lives in Austin with philosophy professor Matt Evans.

David Lipsky's book, ‘The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial', tells the story of how American people have lost their trust in science.

A Kea parrot from New Zealand, which is unlikely to be able to survive — became the leader of his group nonetheless. Sounds almost like a movie, but it's science. - Ein Kea-Papagei aus Neuseeland, der eigentlich kaum überlebensfähig sein dürfte – wurde trotzdem zum Anführer seiner Gruppe. Klingt fast wie ein Film, ist aber Wissenschaft.

Alexis Highland and Avery Voress discuss a core truth of parrot behavior: parrots are prey animals, and humans are predators. In this episode, they unpack how that instinct shapes trust, handling, fear, and everyday behavior. From freezing and flying away to screaming and biting, many behaviors people label as “negative” are actually survival communication. This conversation explores how we can better understand our parrots, reduce fear and conflict, and build trust through safety, choice, predictability, and positive reinforcement.

In which the lass on the bus may have been pondering ‘Mars (anag.)', solving a maze, anticipating a dessert at the Fat Duck or worrying about the Bill(y/ie). Full show notes are at https://offgrid.tlmb.net/Some General Knowledge, a mini-quiz, and some fun trivia we didn't necessarily know until just now.Before each recording, the hosts & their guest solve a cryptic crossword. In the podcast, we riff on words in the grid or clues (spoilers!), telling each other things we find funny or interesting about them. We'll also pick a favourite clue each, and explain how it works to the listener, and have a mini-quiz, also inspired by the puzzle. You don't have to solve or understand cryptic crosswords yourself to enjoy this podcast, but hopefully we might intrigue and tempt you to dip your toes in the water. Hosted on Acast.

Dad is feeling phone fatigue as his creative and ambitious daughter Ivy (who already has 2,000+ YouTube subscribers!) constantly commandeers his phone to record her next viral hit... Can Dad get a break, or should he just accept his new role as Ivy’s manager? Judge Bex mediates the madness, issues some firm (but fair!) phone-sharing rules, and ponders the case of the 450 parrot-dance videos clogging Dad's camera roll... Then, it’s LEGO drama as Oliver accuses his dad of 'stealing' his prized Lego sets, hiding them on high shelves, and even playing with them at night! Dad claims he’s rescuing neglected bricks and should be hailed as 'Sir LEGO' but Oliver isn’t having it. Will Judge Bex order the LEGO to be returned? Can father and son find a truce (and perhaps a secret LEGO Narnia together)?Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Join Kiwi, a sweet baby parrot, on a soft and comforting nighttime adventure in this calming sleep story for women. This bedtime story is designed to ease anxiety, bring a sense of warmth, and guide you into deep sleep. Let the gentle narration help you relax and drift off peacefully. Love,

Long Over Clue is the first new episode of Clueston in several years focusing on the 1990 Lovers' Lane Murders of Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson in Houston, Texas that went unsolved for more than three decades until HPD Detective Sergeant Mike Burrow applied fresh eyes and diligent effort to this very cold case. 

In this episode, Alexis and Avery dive into the meaning of conservation and how it connects directly to the parrot world, where nearly one in three species are endangered or at risk of extinction. Focusing on Central and South America, this conversation highlights two inspiring organizations working to protect some of the world's most vulnerable macaws.First, we explore The Bird Endowment's Nido Adoptivo Blue-throated Macaw Project in Bolivia, which supports the critically endangered Blue-throated Macaw through nest boxes, habitat restoration, and community education. Alexis shares the hopeful progress being made for this rare species, including record fledging numbers and the growing cultural protection surrounding these birds.Next, we look at Ara Manzanillo in Costa Rica and its work with the Great Green Macaw, a species pushed to the brink by habitat loss and poaching. Through rehabilitation, reintroduction, and artificial nesting programs, the project has helped increase both local and global Great Green Macaw populations.Alexis also reflects on how conservation connects back to the Parrot Stars community, including a fundraiser that helped support Blue-throated Macaw conservation efforts from right here in the Chicago suburbs.This episode is all about hope, action, and the power of people coming together to help parrots not just survive, but thrive.If you want to learn more about or support either organization, you can visit them online at: https://www.birdendowment.org/about-nido-adoptivo and https://aramanzanillo.org.Plus, discover the Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) in our species spotlight!Always Remember: Be kind to your Parrot, and it will be kind to you!—Links:Visit Us: https://www.parrotstars.comParrot Stars on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parrotstars/Parrot Stars on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@parrot_starsParrot Stars on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@parrotstarsSupport the Parrot Stars Podcast! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2376122/support Follow the Parrot Stars Podcast wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.

What if most of the health issues pet parrots face could have been prevented? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Noémie Hofman, an exotic animal veterinarian based in Dubai whose career has taken her from working with parrots at the world-famous Loro Parque to tracking chimpanzees in the Ivory Coast, rehabilitating sea turtles in the Maldives, and now treating companion birds and exotics at a Veterinary Clinic in Dubai. We get into the most common medical conditions she sees in parrots and what's actually causing them, how diet and environment directly impact disease, the link between chronic stress and physical illness, the online misinformation that's leading to real clinical problems, and so much more!Episode Highlights:The most common medical conditions in parrots and what's actually causing themHow diet and environment directly impact disease What "doing everything right" actually looks like from a vet's perspectiveCommon online misinformation that's leading to real clinical problemsThe illegal parrot trade and what most people don't realizeHer incredible journey with conservation fieldwork Special Guest:

Send us Fan Mail10,000 downloads later, we're still the same two humans figuring out marriage in real time, including the messy parts we'd love to skip. We start with gratitude for everyone who listens while cooking, driving, or trying to feel a little less alone, then we pivot into a story that proves how fast a tiny miscommunication can turn into a full-body anger response.We unpack what it feels like when you're “big mad,” why it can take hours to come down from that heat, and how stress and cortisol make emotional regulation harder than people think. We talk about the difference between reacting in the moment versus stewing in silence, when a timeout helps, and why “over-communicate” is often the simplest marriage advice that actually works. You'll also hear how a partner who's calm the next morning can be both a blessing and incredibly irritating when you're still stuck in the spiral.From there, we widen the lens to healthy relationships at home: letting kids see conflict resolution, repair, and reassurance so they learn that an argument doesn't mean the relationship is ending. We get into self-reflection, outside perspective, and how family-of-origin patterns, gender expectations, and even prior marriages can shape how we fight and reconnect. And because we're us, we end with what keeps things hopeful: dating your spouse, protecting fun, and using playful resets when tension rises, whether that's a tandem bike trust exercise, a ridiculous parrot squawk, or a Nerf battle.If this hits close to home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find honest conversations about marriage communication, conflict, and repair.

Host Mike sits down with John Jackson of Wild Parrot Brewing in Pasadena for a wide-ranging conversation about launching a neighborhood brewery, the story behind the name, and surviving a pandemic-delayed opening. They discuss Wild Parrot's rotating one-off tap philosophy, favorite styles and hops, experiments with malts, and standout beers from their menu. John shares practical lessons from his brewery build—shared space with a coffee shop, frugal ‘frankenbrew' approaches, permitting headaches, and funding—and offers advice for aspiring brewers. The episode also features fun brew-day anecdotes (including a stuck mash and a messy valve mishap), local community events, a Route 66 cream-ale collab, and light-hearted segments on situational beers, guilty pleasures, and tailgate culture. Tune in for beer nerd talk, startup tips, neighborhood stories, and a warm, conversational interview that captures the spirit of a small, community-focused craft brewery.
