Billions of pounds of plastic end up in our global oceans every year. Birds – like this Short-tailed Shearwater – that mistake this pollution for food often die from malnutrition, poisoning, or damage to their digestive systems. We can all make the world a safer place for birds and people by keeping plastic out of our waterways. You can replace single-use plastics with reusable items, join a community clean up day in your area, or maybe skip party balloons at your next event. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Who convinced us that the fate of the world rests on our personal recycling habits? Does it even make a difference? Melissa Valliant serves as the communications director at Beyond Plastics, a nationwide environmental advocacy group. In this episode, Melissa shares how recycling isn't just imperfect, but a decades-old PR strategy engineered by the same fossil fuel, petrochemical, and consumer goods giants that profit from plastic production. You'll hear the war origins of the plastics boom, who quietly bankrolled the Keep America Beautiful campaign & the logistical reasons that only 5-6% of everything you carefully sort actually makes it to recycling. She also covers the real bottom line on what will move the needle as well as how to keep your family healthy from the chemicals leaching from plastic.

The extreme heat that's becoming far more common in a warming world is now being linked to dental problems. As the body prioritizes sweat for cooling over saliva production, the resulting dry mouth can have devastating impacts on your teeth, and a dentist in Pakistan is documenting a tooth decay trend among his patients who work outdoors in the heat for prolonged periods. Also, cheap and convenient plastic products are everywhere you turn, and the microplastics they break down to are now in our water, soil, air, and deep inside our bodies. Joining us to discuss her 2025 book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late is Judith Enck, a former EPA Regional Administrator and the founder and President of the advocacy group Beyond Plastics. Plus -- it's peak summer travel season, and for many people traveling in the US that means a visit to a national park or monument. After all, "America's crown jewels” are ideal places to disconnect and reconnect with nature and our shared history. Will Shafroth, recently retired CEO of the National Park Foundation, takes a virtual road trip of sorts with us to share the magic of the national parks. Learn more about your ad choices.

Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. This week, Stu and Joe are still on their summer holidays in Rhyl, but before they packed their bags, they had a chat with the team behind EcoRecord. It's a PVC-free, injection-moulded alternative to the traditional vinyl record, which cuts factory energy use by up to 85%, and swaps PVC for recyclable PET plastic. Recently, artists like Coldplay and Lorde have released versions of their albums using the process.We chatted to Sven Deutschmann, CEO of record manufacturer Sonopress, about what he's learned over the last two years of production, whether the records sound as good as traditional vinyl, how Coldplay have switched all of their back catalogue from PVC to PET, and if most records will be made this way in the future. (Plus, Joe gets very excited by some gold and silver coloured records.)And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our Patreon Superfans, Stu and Joe prop themselves up at the bar – in this week's bonus material: Ecological vinyl roundup: what other types of ecologically-friendly records are there anyway; and how big a difference can these records make?A Little Grandad Update - the band are playing Sŵn, and it got Joe and Stu talking about...Band names!: which are are the good bands with bad band names, and bad bands with good band names?

In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation?In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies.Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results.This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.
This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we're digging deep into the toy boxes, display shelves, storage bins, and possibly the emotional damage closet for Oldies, but Goodies! We're showing off some of the oldest toys in our collections, including childhood survivors, vintage favorites, and the plastic legends that somehow made it through years of play, moves, yard sales, and questionable storage decisions. These are the toys with history, battle scars, and maybe a little dust—but most importantly, they still bring the joy. We also spotlight Rare Formula Toys & Collectibles in our Store Tour segment and discuss whether it's a shop everyone should visit someday.

The hobby is drowning in great choices right now, and that's both a gift and a trap. We talk through what “superabundance” really looks like in modern scale modeling: a flood of high-quality plastic model kits, aftermarket decals, 3D printed parts, and specialized paint and weathering products that would've felt impossible a couple decades ago. Using examples like the suddenly crowded field of 1/72 P-40B kits, we dig into why the golden age of modeling is real, and how it can still leave you stuck staring at options instead of making progress. We also share listener-driven updates and community news as the IPMS Nationals get closer, including travel plans, meetups, and the behind-the-scenes effort it takes to host fellow modelers while your house and hobby room are mid-remodel. On the community side, we're pushing toward a better home for long-term reference content, so great builds and tips don't disappear into the Facebook timeline. If you've been following the Dojo build content, we also talk about improving visibility and inviting more Q and A with builders. Then we go hands-on with one of the most common problem areas in aircraft modeling: clear parts and canopies. We cover practical techniques like using a micro razor saw to avoid cracking brittle clear plastic, choosing the right adhesive (and why some “clear” glues can still be tricky), and how careful sanding and test fitting before you glue can prevent gaps you'll hate later. We also debate the big workflow question: when to attach the canopy, and how the answer changes depending on the kit and whether it's posed open or closed.

Walk through your house with me for a minute. That baking sheet in your oven? It's not just for cookies, it's a radio antenna ground plane, a cooking surface over coals, and a drying rack for seeds. That petroleum jelly in the medicine cabinet? Fire starter, skin protection, rust prevention. That five‑gallon bucket in the garage? Sanitation system, water hauler, food storage, even rain catchment. Most people see clutter. Preppers see capability.In this episode we look at 17 overlooked everyday items with real survival uses. Aluminum foil becomes a heat reflector, emergency cooking surface, even a late‑night plumbing patch (ask us how we know). Baking soda handles grease fires and bug bites. Bandanas filter water and become slings. Coffee filters pre‑filter dirty water. Dental floss repairs gear, and yes, we talk realistically about wound closure options. Empty pill bottles protect matches and tinder. Old belts become straps and tourniquets. Zip ties secure almost anything. Plastic sheeting turns into shelter. Freezer bags protect documents, electronics, and supplies.Preparedness isn't always about buying more gear. Often, it's about recognizing the hidden utility in what you already own.Mentioned In This Episode:Support Practical Prepping72 Hour Prepping ChecklistClozex Emergency Laceration ClosuresDownload this episodeIf you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like Krista's Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?You can do that one of several ways.

On our latest show: The migration champion Red Knot; Mike O'Connor's birdbath algae experiment; and special guest Johnathan Berard on the problem with plastic (here in Plastic-free July).
I'd like to think that plastic is an apolitical subject. None of us want to see our environment or our bodies polluted with this stuff, and so it brings me great pleasure to focus on one of the biggest overlaps of our times: the quest to reduce plastic in our bodies and our environment. We've done a few shows on this over the years, and this week is wonderful.Let me introduce you to Kal Glanznig. He's a filmmaker, a counsellor in his local government area, and a leading youth ocean and climate champion. He's also a young man of 25 who got his body tested for phthalate levels due to concerns for future fertility and was shocked to see how high his levels were, as he considered himself having a very healthy nature-focused lifestyle. He's created documentaries, Rising Up, back in 2024, and this year just released The Plastic Country. He's a multiple TEDx and UN COP speaker, and he's driven by the motto "Change Happens Locally". In high school, he led a 100 kW solar project, leading to 20 schools to follow suit. This guy is definitely not someone who rests on his laurels. He is here to effect change.Kal is on a mission to make it clear that if we don't shape the policies that make things truly better at every stage of government, then chances are we just keep going in swings and roundabouts on social media, either trying to raise awareness or trying to complain about how nothing is happening.

This week's Open Mic guest is Gary Adams, President and CEO of the National Cotton Council. Like other row crop producers, cotton farmers are facing higher input costs and increased global competition. Adams says Brazilian farmers have ramped up production and taken a greater share of the Chinese market. He shares why cotton farmers are hopeful for a new farm bill this year, as well as the Buy American Cotton Act, which would encourage domestic mills to utilize American-grown cotton. Adams also discusses the industry's "Plant not Plastic" campaign which is aimed at helping consumers understand the link between synthetic clothing and the microplastics you inhale.
You might think microplastics are just an environmental nuisance that passes through your body, but the latest tissue studies tell a very different story. As a physician, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down where the science lands, past both the fear-mongering and the dismissiveness.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why over 58% of patients in a landmark NEJM study had plastic embedded in their arterial plaque and the 4.5x higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and death that came with itHow microplastics act as a "Trojan horse," carrying endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your blood, testes, brain, and reproductive tissueWhy perimenopause and menopause are an especially vulnerable window for plastic-driven hormone disruptionThe five low-cost "Lyon Protocol" rules to cut your exposure, starting with never microwaving plastic and letting food cool before you store itThis matters because you don't need to overhaul your life or wait twenty years for perfect data to protect your cellular health; you just need the handful of small, automated decisions that move the needle on your metabolic and hormonal baseline.Thank you to our sponsors:Our Place - Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

Pointing to Edward's first symptom of Relapse–Remitting MS is tricky. From anxiety in his 20s, to poor sleep and numb hands, to back pain and difficulty walking, the road to diagnosis has been rocky. When he finally received confirmation—in the form of a terrifying MRI showing countless lesions on his brain and spine—Edward was a new father in his early 30s. Coming to terms with a lifelong condition that presents differently for everyone was a process that has slowly shifted his outlook on both his past and his future. In this episode, we speak with Edward about what his journey through symptoms and diagnosis looked like, and reflect on how facing down a debilitating illness can change your outlook on life if you let it. A musician from a young age, today Edward is exploring live performance with his solo project, Green Plastic Whistle, and facing an aversion to fame that derailed some previous opportunities. As he puts it, being told you have an unpredictable disease, that has the potential to impact anything from bladder function to your ability to see, really puts fear into perspective. With cautious optimism and a balanced take on the pros and cons of the medical system, Edward and Jesse delve into how you envision your future when you don't know what your health will hold. They explore the promising remyelination medications that have the MS community abuzz and what it's like to start a family in the midst of disease progression. Edward's experience with Multiple Sclerosis has given him a new perspective on how we prioritize our lives and what's possible when you begin to face the future without fear.

In this episode, we simplify summer bass fishing by breaking down exactly where fish go when the heat cranks up and how to find them faster. We cover why shade is one of the most overlooked and underutilized tools in a summer angler's playbook, how to build your day around early morning and late evening feeding windows, and why isolated cover beats long stretches of water every single time this time of year. We also get into the best soft plastic presentations for both shallow and deep July bass, when to go finesse and when to stay aggressive, and why taking care of yourself in the summer heat directly affects how well you fish.

This week on Cracktastic Plastic, we're raising a glass to one of the weirdest, most wonderful corners of toy collecting: cups, glasses, mugs, tumblers, and whatever other drinkware somehow found its way onto our shelves. From fast food promo cups to cartoon mugs, character glasses, novelty bottles, and plastic sippers that probably should have been washed more carefully in 1988, we're showing off our favorite toy-related drinkware. It's part nostalgia, part display piece, part “why do I own so many of these?” and 100% Cups of Chaos. We also spotlight Larger Than Life Toys & Comics in our Store Tour segment and discuss whether it's a shop everyone should visit someday.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into one of the most alarming environmental health discoveries of our time: microplastics are infiltrating our brains—and the implications for cognitive health may be profound. Our conversation with Dr. Matt Campen, a distinguished professor and toxicologist, and Dr. Eliane El Hayek, an assistant professor at the forefront of microplastic research helps us unravel the science behind how these tiny plastic particles enter our bodies, cross the blood-brain barrier, and potentially contribute to neurological decline. From the water we drink to the air we breathe, microplastics are everywhere—and emerging research suggests they may be accumulating in brain tissue at concerning levels. Our guests explain the latest findings, the potential mechanisms of harm, and what this means for dementia risk and brain health across the lifespan.
Post-spawn smallmouth seem to vanish overnight, but they haven't gone far — they're just on the move. In this episode, we break down how to track smallmouth as they transition from spawning flats to summer structure, why certain stopping points like points, ledges, and grass edges can stay productive for weeks, and how to use water temperature as a roadmap for where fish are in that journey. We also bust the myth that every smallmouth goes deep after the spawn, showing you why some fish stick to shallow cover all summer if the food's still there. Plus, we cover the finesse soft plastic presentations that consistently produce during this transition, no matter where the fish are holding. If your June smallmouth bite has felt unpredictable, this episode will help you find the pattern.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

Plastic surgery marketing comes with a longer, more complex patient journey than traditional med spa treatments. Kevin, Andrea, and Mitch break down why surgical procedures require a different strategy, from understanding search trends across facelifts, blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, mommy makeovers, and hair transplants to recognizing the emotional triggers behind each procedure. The conversation explores how AI, patient-generated content, long-form video, lead magnets, and nurture campaigns are changing the way patients research and choose a surgeon. They also discuss why trust-building starts long before the consultation, why sales and marketing need to work as one team, and how reviews, referrals, testimonials, and before-and-afters help keep the future surgical funnel moving.

Every day, we throw things away, only to be forgotten forever. But society didn't always work in the same way. In this episode, we speak with University of Chicago scholar and anthropologist Sarah Newman to discuss her book, Unmaking Waste: New Histories of Old Things. An archaeologist by training, Newman discusses the history of trash across time—from the ancient Mayan civilization through today's disposable culture. She argues that other societies valued objects much more deeply, reusing and recycling items in innovative ways. But will we ever return to this kind of zero-waste mentality? Newman argues that true sustainability requires a radical, systemic overhaul of how products are designed, valued and dismantled. She challenges us to look beyond the recycling bin and imagine a world where waste isn't just managed, but systematically unmade if we are to genuinely rethink our relationship with garbage and reshape our future.

We think we have a comprehensive understanding of the plastic crisis. But what of the plastic we cannot see? To solve a problem, we need first to understand its dimension, the circumference of the circumstance, the urgency of the experience and the structures for correction. Is it insurmountable?

In today's episode we'll be talking all about cheese. From its origins over 8,000 years ago in Mesopotamia to how cheese evolved across cultures and climates. I share a scene from my childhood that has never left me and tell you why Venezuelan cheeses are mostly fresh, unique and what they taught me about switching to alternatives that don't harm animals but give you a delicious experience that is also full of tradition. I get into why cheese has kept drawing us in for more and how we can start approaching going vegan when we are cheese lovers. I give you a bit of guidance as to what to look for in store-bought vegan cheeses, but especially some of the techniques available to you when you want to go on the adventure that is making your own. I'm also recommending some books and resources, not to mention giving you a bit of cheesy challenge this week.
