Send us Fan MailAhead of his return to the Donmar Warehouse for the first time since 2010's Polar Bears, multi-award-winning actor Paul Hilton sits down to discuss his role as Richard in the world premiere of Fran Kranz's Mass. Paul delves into the psychological weight of portraying a father navigating the devastating aftermath of a school shooting under the visceral direction of Carrie Cracknell. We hear him reflect on the unique technical demands of the Donmar's intimate space, inviting the audience in to join a high stakes meeting in a church basement. Our conversation explored his process of physical discovery in the rehearsal room and the challenge of finding "play" and lightness within such profound human tragedy.In this new interview, Paul Hilton offers a rare, introspective look at a career that has led younger peers to describe him as one of the greatest actors of our generation. We revisit his transformative time sharing the role of Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie with our former guest Tom Glynn-Carney and his recent, acclaimed transition between Ibsen's moral pillars, Father Manders and Peter Stockmann. With his own son Kasper Hilton-Hille now following in his theatrical footsteps, Paul shares his reflections on mentorship, the evolving nature of the industry, and why the theatre continues to act as a sacred space for him and his family. We are treated to a warm and deeply personal exploration of a master craftsman as he continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary theatre.Mass runs at Donmar Warehouse from 18 April - 6 June 2026.

There's long been concern about the effect that melting ice was having on their ability to hunt seals, their staple diet. But in the Norwegian Archipelago of Svalbard, something surprising has happened. The bears there have gained weight, and for a polar bear, fatter means healthier. Rising temperatures, though, mean that there are now 100 more ice free days per year in Svalbard than when this study began, so the bears are now hunting on the land.长期以来，人们一直担心海冰融化会影响北极熊捕食海豹的能力，而海豹正是他们的主食。但在挪威的斯瓦尔巴特群岛，一个令人意想不到的情况发生了。那里的北极熊体重增加了，而对于北极熊来说，更胖就意味着更加健康。不过，不断上升的全球气温也意味着斯瓦尔巴特群岛现在每年平均无冰天数比这项研究开始时增加了 100 天，因此那里的北极熊现在开始在陆地上进行捕食。This unexpected, good news, scientists say, is temporary. As sea ice recedes more, bears may have to travel further between their hunting grounds, using up valuable fat reserves for energy.科学家们表示，这个出乎意料的好消息只是暂时的。随着海冰进一步消退，北极熊可能需要往返于更远的猎场之间，迫使它们大量消耗本就宝贵的脂肪储备以获取能量。

In this week's Talking Life, Jessica discusses a new study looking at nearly 30 years of data on polar bears around Svalbard, a Norwegian island way up in the Arctic,  the findings show that on average polar bears are in better physical condition now than they were 25 years ago.

Zappi CMO Nataly Kelly joins to talk about the Sizzle, Systems & Sales Impact of The Super Bowl.The Super Bowl is advertising's biggest stage. $8 million for 30 seconds. Cultural noise at maximum volume. Celebrities everywhere. Music in almost every ad.But once the spectacle fades, one question remains: which ads actually drove impact?In this episode, we unpack the Zappi Super Bowl 2026 report (check it out here) built from testing every ad live with 20,000 American category buyers and benchmarking them against the top 100 performing TV ads in the US.We explore:– Why emotional response alone isn't enough – The role of purchase likelihood in predicting sales impact – How celebrities can amplify an ad — or bury the brand – Why distinctive brand assets (Budweiser's Clydesdales, Nerds' characters) still matter – The Pepsi polar bear debate and what it says about brand memory – How health brands like Wegovy, Hims & Hers and Ro cut through – Why the best Super Bowl ads are part of a system, not a one-night stuntThis conversation goes beyond ranking ads. It looks at what actually moves the needle — and what marketers without Super Bowl budgets can learn from the world's most expensive media moment. Zappi's full report is available at zappi.io here.Chapters2:25 – What Zappi Measures 4:07 – How the Super Bowl Ads Were Tested Live 5:00 – Celebrity Usage: Amplifier or Distraction? 8:54 – Brand Recall vs Entertainment 10:15 – Super Bowl Ads as Part of a System 12:38 – Music, Multi-Screening & Attention 13:54 – Health Brands, Outrage & Cultural Relevance 16:12 – Why Budweiser Still Wins with Distinctive Assets 18:34 – Pepsi, Polar Bears & the Coke Asset Debate 20:41 – System Over Sizzle: Campaign vs One Night 23:40 – The Emotional Power of Lays 24:35 – Nerds, Product Demonstration & Penetration 27:00 – What Marketers Without Super Bowl Budgets Should Learn 31:56 – Are Super Bowl Trends Changing? 36:50 – Favourite Ad 38:00 – Why Sales Impact Still Matters Most Hosted on Acast.

Polar Bears symbolize the icy landscapes of the far north like no other animal. The bear's way of life — its very survival — is inseparable from the Arctic pack-ice. Less familiar is a remarkable bird that shares with the Polar Bear this vital link to ice: this Ivory Gull. The gulls feed on small fish and other marine life, but also scavenge carcasses, including those left by Polar Bears. Global warming has brought increasing change to the world of ice-dependent species such as the Ivory Gull and Polar Bear.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Kate Adie presents stories from Iran, Norway, France, Ireland and Switzerland.A recent marathon race in Iran caused controversy after many of the 2000 women runners ignored the country's mandatory hijab law, and ran without a head covering. Years after deadly protests rocked the country, Faranak Amidi charts how women in Iran today are continuing to defy the religious authorities on a daily basis.Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean is home to an array of wildlife, including Polar Bears. With their survival under threat, Beth Timmins considers their future - and past - while sailing off the bay of Skansbukta.The French have a penchant for chestnuts, and demand in the country often vastly outstrips supply. And in the chestnut groves of the Cévennes, intensifying droughts are pushing the crop to the brink. Julius Purcell met chestnut farmers keeping a centuries-old culture alive, in the face of a warming planet.Irish pubs may be one of the Emerald Isle's most ubiquitous exports, but Irish whiskey has dipped in popularity over the last century in part due to politics - but also increased competition. Jordan Dunbar has been following the fate of his homeland's much-loved liquor, ever since a surprise encounter in Japan.And finally, Switzerland is famously neutral - but what that neutrality means is a subject that preoccupies the Swiss. Everyone knows that the Swiss banked Germany's money during the second world war, but a new exhibition shows how cooperative Switzerland also was to the allies. Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison

Reflecting on Christmas, Tomelex derails Joey's icebreaker question with an intense fear of being killed by an animal, sending the crew into a hilarious detour about bears — including the shocking truth that polar bears are known to actively hunt humans.

Your RV Navigators want to wish all of our listeners a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. For your favorite RVer, we've included some gift suggestions in case your still shopping. This month has been a busy one for us, as we travel to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears in their nature environment. This was not an RV trip as we traveled by plane 1300 miles North to Hudson Bay, home to the Polar bears. Viewing is done in tundra rovers. These are large bus like vehicle that are designed for rough terrain with huge wheels and special suspension/engine. We were luck to get within feet of the bears for some great photos. This was a 6 day adventure so we were back home in IL before we knew it ready to head back to FL for a couple of weeks. Now after TG we are once again back up north ready too enjoy the holiday season in snow.

Send us a textA top predator that “wastes” food and ends up feeding an entire ecosystem? That paradox sits at the heart of our latest exploration into polar bear behavior and the hidden scaffolding of the Arctic food web. We unpack new research estimating that each polar bear leaves roughly 300 kilograms of edible remains annually—amounting to millions of kilograms across the region—and why those leftovers are vital calories for Arctic foxes, ravens, gulls, snowy owls, and even wolves. By focusing on blubber for maximum energy return, polar bears inadvertently act as providers in a landscape where every calorie matters, and we trace how shrinking sea ice threatens not just bears but the scavengers who depend on their kills.From icy shores to living rooms, we then tackle a beloved belief: can dogs judge human character? A Kyoto University study with 40 pet dogs put that idea to the test using a generous-versus-selfish setup. The result: no reliable preference for the kind human, even after direct interaction. We break down what this means for canine social cognition, why food-based tasks may miss the mark, and how ethics limit what scientists can test. Rather than a simple moral radar, dogs may rely on a complex blend of context, prior reinforcement, and human cues that are hard to capture in a two-choice experiment.Along the way, we share field notes from polar bear country, practical insights for interpreting your dog's behavior without overreading the wag, and a clear view of how climate change reshapes energy flows you rarely hear about. If you care about wildlife science, animal behavior, or how small choices ripple through entire systems, this one offers fresh data and useful takeaways.Enjoy the show?

In a remote Russian research station, polar bears are reportedly thriving. We explore what’s behind this unexpected story and what it might reveal about climate, conservation, and coexistence. Holly shares more fun facts of the day.

#183 - Jamie Edwards returns to Journey with Jake with tales from the top of the world, having ventured to the Arctic with her 21-year-old daughter and 82-year-old stepfather. Their expedition through the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard reveals a landscape where polar bears roam distant shores and massive glaciers calve with thunderous crashes that signal our changing climate.Jamie vividly describes the unique challenges and thrills of Arctic exploration aboard the purpose-built Ultramarine ship. Unlike Antarctica (which Jamie visited previously), the Arctic's main attraction—and danger—is the magnificent polar bear. These apex predators can smell prey from up to 20 miles away and swim for days without stopping, facts that add a layer of respectful caution to every shore excursion. The expedition team constantly scans shorelines through powerful scopes before allowing passengers to disembark, ensuring both human safety and wildlife protection.What makes this journey particularly special is the three-generation dynamic. For Jamie's environmentally-conscious daughter, seeing climate change impacts firsthand provided powerful context to her studies. For her adventurous 82-year-old stepfather, it was an opportunity he'd never have experienced otherwise. And for Jamie—someone who typically dislikes cold weather but couldn't resist the Arctic's allure—the expedition became another transformative travel experience, even culminating in the traditional "polar plunge" into frigid waters.Beyond her Arctic adventures, Jamie shares updates on her expanding writing career, including contributions to National Geographic's upcoming "Traveler's Atlas" and her travel coaching services. Her website IamLostandFound.com continues to serve as both personal travel journal and professional portfolio, connecting her with opportunities to share her passion for thoughtful, transformative travel experiences.Whether you're planning your own polar expedition or simply enjoy armchair adventures, this conversation offers both practical insights and philosophical reflections on how travel changes us—"you go into it one way, you come out of it another."Be sure and check out Jamie's work on her website www.iamlostandfound.com. Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?
