When did you last feel absolutely SPECTACULAR? That is the question posed for this week on the podcast. Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7https://links.primordialradio.com/listenIn Moose's case, it's thankfully fairly recently, however Dews is a different matter. It's damn-near impossible to feel spectacular with the threat of other peoples' pee bottles hanging over you, literally or metaphorically. Unsurprisingly, this leads to job-hunting chat, and also new podcast planning. Watch this space. The guys also take a look ahead to Download festival this coming weekend, and Primordial events already on the calendar, with special news about Burns Night 2027! Following on from some sad news, the guys are also joined by Giuseppe Romano, owner of DMC Brewery in Leeds, to explain what's going on in a candid conversation about the realities of running a small business.Podcast HighlightsEpisode 500 Starts To Come Into ViewThe Reality Of Job Hunting In 2026AI Interviews And Application FrustrationsA New Podcast Idea Begins To FormDownload Festival Plans And PRFam Meet-UpMetal For Good Heads To DownloadBurns Night Returns In GlasgowPrimordial AGM Plans For AugustBig Bang Competition Winner AnnouncedDMC Brewery Gets A Proper Send-OffONLINE Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

As Albertans contemplate an October referendum that will see them choose between the province remaining in Canada or starting the process toward a future binding independence vote, the governing United Conservative Party is starting to show signs of internal strain and vulnerability of its leader, Premier Danielle Smith.The political game in Alberta has changed. The debate around the future of the province has ignited emotion on all sides, and has morphed into "primordial politics," a deeply-entrenched, identity-based attachment to your side.This week on West of Centre, host Kathleen Petty is joined by two long-time observers of politics in Alberta, with deep knowledge of how the political landscape has evolved. Anthony Sayers is a political science professor and director of Canadian governance policy in the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy; and David Stewart is a professor emeritus in the University of Calgary's political science department. Both are frequent collaborators who have co-authored a number of papers and academic book chapters, and they have a new book that will be published this summer, The Dawn of Competitive Party Politics in Alberta: An End to Solitude.In this rare conversation, Sayers and Stewart tap into the past, where the governing Progressive Conservatives enjoyed little opposition until the Wild Rose Party came along and posed a credible threat. But the merging of the parties has pushed the UCP further to the right, forcing the party to keep its base motivated and ready to turn out in an election. They say the UCP is a different party from when Jason Kenney was leader, and even more difficult for Smith to manage. Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Anthony Sayers, David StewartProducer: Diane Yanko
I learnt a new word: 'enshittification', stage 1 is attraction, stage 2 is abuse and stage 3 is extraction....how platforms lure people in and slowly once they have audience capture and people rely on them begin turning the screw and abusing users, I take this word and run with it into the brick wall of the music industry and culture at large.

Welcome back to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In this episode, Pete and Moose are talking about Download Festival 2026, The Big Bang selling out, and what is next for Primordial Radio.Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7https://links.primordialradio.com/listenWith Download Festival a month away, Pete and Moose look at the weird combination of excitement, preparation and mild panic that is festival season. There's a lot of talk about getting older, needing somewhere to sit down and why a hot tub near Download suddenly feels like the height of luxury after years of mud, camping and expensive field-based burgers.They also talk about what Primordial's Download coverage could look like this year, especially with a lineup that seems so close to what the station's all about. It's like a proper pick and mix of rock and metal from Limp Bizkit, Guns N' Roses and Linkin Park to Bloodywood, Periphery, Static-X and As Everything Unfolds.And there's a big update on the Big Bang, some thoughts on future Primordial events, UpVote, Clubhouse Crawls, and a more honest look at where things are at for the station after a long period of waiting, learning and trying to move forward.ONLINE Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org
The continued failure to detect WIMPs has led to a "Dark Crisis" and more speculative theories. Some scientists suggest dark matter could be primordial black holes formed during the Big Bang, or "fuzzy" dark matter made of extremely light particles. Challenges also arise from "dragonfly galaxies" like Dragonfly 44, which appear to lack dark matter entirely, a problem for both CDM and MOND theories. Physicist Erik Verlinde proposes emergent gravity, where gravity is not a fundamental force but emerges from a deeper level of reality, potentially removing the need for dark matter. Some fresh thinking suggests that MOND and CDM might even work in concert. As the search continues through deep-mine experiments, the ISS, and massive telescopes in Chile, theorists remain at a frontier of trying to explain why 95% of the universe remains invisible.

We start off by revisiting the Artemis II mission and some ideas of future space expansion. We then move to the main topic: a recap of some of the new places we visited in Egypt, such as KV5 (a "tomb" complex in the Valley of Kings) and Tell Al-Roba, a massive 200 acre site in Egypt that holds the buried remnants of a temple complex and features an absolutely enormous single-piece granite shrine. We also talk about some new obvservations regarding the floor of the "Queen's Chamber" in the Great Pyramid, as well as some interesting aspects of the Grand Gallery. We then move on to our travels in the Faiyum and out into the desert, looking for traces of paleo and neolithic people.You can support us through Patreon or Paypal by going tohttps://www.brothersoftheserpent.com/support Thank you!

How do we start with UFOs and end up feeling our feelings? Like this. On this episode I welcome back the brilliant Nirmala Nataraj. Nirmala is a writer, artist, active dreamer, liminal walker. She is here for the (not-necessarily-just-external) transformation and sigh of ontological relief. She invites us to remember to breathe. Find her writings and weavings on substack at The Diving Bell Spider. And, I go on a rant about the very (seeming) unsexy call to grow up. (This kind of thing is why people stopped inviting me to parties in high school.) I also unironically use the word "cooked" which I'm regretting, and read an excerpt from my in-the-works new book apokalypsis. Enjoy.

There's an animate quality to the biomorphic sculptures of the self-taught, Utah-born artist Alma Allen. His works, carved from wood, marble, and bronze—and informed by his deep appreciation for the natural world—appear as if they're living, breathing things, at once prehistoric and futuristic. Far from fixed objects, they eschew any overt symbolism or predetermined narratives. For this “site-specific” episode of Time Sensitive, our milestone 150th, we traveled to Mexico City to sit down with Allen inside his family's home there to discuss his highest-visibility exhibition yet: “Call Me the Breeze,” a solo presentation at the U.S. Pavilion for the 61st edition of the Venice Biennale, opening May 9 and on view through Nov. 22. In addition to his plans for Venice and how he's been navigating the noise and public debate around his selection for this year's U.S. Pavilion, he also delves into the hard-to-pin-down nature of his material-forward sculptures and his peripatetic path to art-world ascendancy. Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, Van Cleef & Arpels.

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez cómo es la relación que tienes contigo? Y si ya lo has reflexionado… ¿te has preguntado qué tan honesta, verdadera, leal y libre es realmente esa relación? Y es aquí donde comienza todo el asunto, también donde se pone incómodo. No en el vínculo que se fue y nos dejó o dejamos ir, no en el que no llegó, ni tampoco en el que nos hirió, no rompió el corazón y nos marcó… Empieza con el vínculo interno que rara vez cuestionamos y que determina absolutamente todos los demás.

We start off by revisiting the Artemis II mission and some ideas of future space expansion. We then move to the main topic: a recap of some of the new places we visited in Egypt, such as KV5(a "tomb" complex in the Valley of Kings) and Tell Al-Roba, a massive 200 acre site in Egypt that holds the buried remnants of a temple complex and features an absolutely enormous single-piece granite shrine. We also talk about some new obvservations regarding the floor of the "Queen's Chamber" in the Great Pyramid, as well as some interesting aspects of the Grand Gallery. We then move on to our travels in the Faiyum and out into the desert, looking for traces of paleo and neo lithic people.

Why is the modern world making us lose our "taste for the real," and can ancient practices like animal tracking and Socratic dialogue actually save our personhood from the "virtual matrix" of AI? John Vervaeke, Guy Sengstock, and Kyle Koch announce their second "Reconnecting to the Real" retreat and outline what each will teach: Kyle offers nature-connection practices such as tracking and bird language to cultivate belonging; Guy brings Circling Method relational practices to deepen listening, communication, and group connection; John brings reconstructed Socratic practices including dialogos, dialectic, imaginal reflection, and a two-hour Socratic salon for questions. They describe the retreat as a non-vacation "pilgrimage" meant to transfer skills back into everyday life amid increasing virtual mediation and AI-driven risks of losing the "taste for the real." Logistics: Aug 31–Sept 4 in Whistler, British Columbia at Brû Creek Lodge, with lodging and meals included, costing $3,995 USD, and limited spots remaining with many returning participants. Guy Sengstock Co-founder of The Circling Method: He has spent 30 years developing this relational practice to transform peer-to-peer communication into a profound "asana" of listening and presence. Relational "Maestro": He uses spontaneous inquiry and formal circling to help groups move beyond intellectual concepts into direct contact with "the real". Personal Blog/Website LinkedIn Kyle Koch Nature Connection Expert: He bridges the gap between philosophical concepts and embodied reality through tracking, bird language, and nature-based core routines.

Primordial legends from the mists of time and fever dreams of imminent apocalypse. Our good friend Dallas Norvell drops by Casa Calibro to discuss Excalibur (1981), directed by John Boorman and Holocaust 2000 (1977), directed by Alberto de Martino (this film is sometimes also known as The Chosen or Rain of Fire). Boorman's passion project based on Mallory's La Morte d'Artur is a heady mix of magic, myth and just a hint of disco. Meanwhile, Kirk Douglas goes completely out of his mind in an attempt to ward off the end of the world. It's a bit of a trip this week, is what I'm trying to say. We don't think it's really possible to spoil a movie based on a 500 year old text concerning a legend more than a thousand years old, so no Spoiler Territory for Excalibur. We do, however, call out Spoiler Territory for Holocaust 2000 (although honestly, it probably doesn't matter). If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:29:14 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

8. Headline: Speculative Theories and the Dark Crisis Guest Author:Govert Schilling Summary: The discovery of galaxies lacking dark matter challenges both standard models and MOND. Speculative theories now explore primordial black holes, fuzzy dark matter, and Erik Verlinde's idea of emergent gravity. Some fresh thinking even suggests that Modified Newtonian Dynamics and the standard cold dark matter model might eventually work in concert. (8)SEPTEMBER 1932

Une nouvelle stratégie des États-Unis vis-à-vis des pays de l'AES – l'Alliance des États du Sahel ? Nick Checker, haut responsable du bureau des affaires africaines du département d'État américain, s'est récemment rendu au Niger et au Burkina Faso, après un passage au Mali en février. Après des années de froid diplomatique sous l'administration Biden, Washington cherche à renouer le dialogue avec les juntes militaires au pouvoir soutenues par la Russie. S'agit-il d'un repositionnement américain ? Quels intérêts de part et d'autre ? Andrew Lebovich est chercheur américain à l'institut néerlandais Clingendael et spécialiste du Sahel. Depuis Washington, il est l'invité de Charlotte Idrac.
Gravitational Wave observatory LIGO has seen a signature that looks like the merger of primordial (pre-stellar, big bang (not big band!) era) black holes. If confirmed with future observations, this would tell us a lot about the early universe and potentially shed light on dark matter. Finally! Plus, closer to home, the BLOBs in the Earth's mantle help us untangle the complicated past of our magnetic field.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 22In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the formation of the universe's most enigmatic objects, explore the origins of Saturn's iconic rings, and get updates on NASA's Artemis 2 mission.Black Holes and Exotic Cosmic StructuresA groundbreaking study suggests that some of the universe's most exotic entities, including black holes and cannibal stars, may have formed just seconds after the Big Bang. Researchers from the International School of Advanced Studies propose that subatomic particles condensed into halos of matter, which then collapsed to create these fascinating cosmic structures. Their findings, published in Physical Review D, indicate that even in the earliest moments of the universe, complex physical phenomena were already taking shape, paving the way for our understanding of cosmic evolution.The Formation of Saturn's RingsNew research proposes that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have formed from the collision of two older moons, potentially linking this event to the creation of Saturn's spectacular ring system. The study, reported in the Planetary Science Journal, utilizes computer simulations to explore the dynamics of Saturn's moons and their interactions, suggesting that Titan's merger could explain its unique orbit and the age of the rings, estimated to be around 100 million years.NASA's Artemis 2 Mission UpdateFollowing the recent scrubbing of the Artemis 2 launch due to hydrogen leaks, NASA has made significant repairs and is preparing for another attempt. Engineers have replaced seals in the mobile launcher's umbilical area and are conducting further testing to ensure the rocket's readiness. With multiple launch windows available in March, the Artemis 2 mission aims to test key systems aboard the Orion spacecraft, setting the stage for future lunar exploration and the eventual return of humans to the Moon.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review D, Planetary Science JournalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.
MIT physicist David Kaiser is one of those rare scientists who can make mind-bending physics feel like a great conversation over coffee — funny, generous, and genuinely thrilled by what we still don't know. And what he's working on is wild. What the if the universe is packed with invisible black holes smaller than an atom? Dave thinks the mysterious "missing stuff" that holds galaxies together might not be some exotic undiscovered particle — it could be tiny black holes that formed a split second after the Big Bang. If he's right, a handful of them could be cruising through our solar system right now, and we might be able to catch one in the act just by watching Mars wobble. We also dig into whether a rogue black hole might have flattened a Siberian forest in 1908, and rest assured, the residents of Brooklyn have nothing to worry about.

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that the mysterious high-energy neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from a quasi-extremal primordial black hole. This type of black hole, theorized to exist since the Big Bang, could explain the otherwise unexplainable energy levels of the neutrino and potentially unlock the secrets of dark matter and the fundamental nature of the universe.Mars' Dust Storms and Water LossNew research published in Communications Earth and Environment reveals that localized dust storms on Mars may play a significant role in the planet's water loss. While Mars is currently a dry desert, evidence from its surface indicates a wetter past. The study shows that intense dust storms can transport water vapor to higher altitudes, facilitating its escape into space, thus contributing to the long-standing mystery of Martian water depletion.Plasma Daniel for Hypersonic TestingA groundbreaking facility known as the plasma tunnel is now being used by scientists and engineers to simulate the extreme conditions spacecraft face during atmospheric reentry. The plasma tunnel generates high-speed plasma flows that mimic the intense heat and pressure experienced during reentry, providing critical data for developing safer and more efficient spacecraft. This innovative technology could revolutionize our understanding of hypersonic flight and enhance mission safety for future space exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review Letters, Communications Earth and EnvironmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Astronomers investigate a potential black hole explosion(00:07:15) New study reveals how dust storms on Mars contribute to water loss(00:15:30) The plasma tunnel: recreating atmospheric reentry conditions(00:22:45) Science report: Genetic factors influencing life expectancy(00:30:00) Bigfoot sightings and cultural phenomena in America
The philosopher of war, Carl von Clausewitz, described three legs that support the architecture of war: Primordial violence, the play of chance, and reason. Clausewitz aligned the element of chance the military. Every revolution brings unintended consequences -- the free play of chance. A revolution in military affairs, therefore, means exponential chance to affect the other legs of that trinity. Did the predicted revolution in military affairs come about? Are we at the threshold of one? Is that a good thing or an unacceptable risk that must be avoided? Can we avoid it? Colonels Jayson Altieri and Robert Waring, US Army Retired and instructors in our War Colleges, join me to discuss some of these questions.

HEADLINE: Exotic Theories and the Ongoing Quest. GUEST: Govert Schilling. SUMMARY: The conversation explores anomalies like dark-matter-free galaxies and alternatives like primordial black holes, highlighting the enduring mystery of the universe's composition. 1952
In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke and host Ethan Hsieh explore what Ethan calls the "Underground Man" problem. How we can get trapped in endless abstraction, lose contact with lived meaning, and oscillate between inflation and collapse. They unpack the reflectiveness gap (hyper-reflection that disconnects us from motivation), how the imaginal bridges the abstract and the embodied, and why the cultural severing of transcendence and finitude fuels cycles of nihilism, indecision, and irresponsible action. The conversation also dives into the cognitive science of dissociation including volitional vs. pathological forms. Showing how disruptive strategies can support transformation when followed by reintegration. The Q&A then turns toward prayer and ritual: how they can go wrong as "vicious abstraction," and how they can go right as re-centering a dialogical practice that reconnects us to reality, responsibility, and compassion. This episode also includes an important announcement: this will be John's last Lectern Q&A for a while.

His research bridges cognitive science, philosophy, and contemplative traditions to explore how humans cultivate insight, agency, and deep transformation. Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner working at the intersection of performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. He is the creator of TIAMAT, a three-tier developmental framework integrating cognitive science, dialogical philosophy, and embodied practice. Through immersive learning environments and collaborative inquiry, Ethan helps individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life—emphasizing participatory sense-making, metacognitive mapping, and shared agency.
