In this weird Episode, Henry veers off course to talk to Bob Dylan scholar, writer & expert, Ray Padgett, about Weird Al Yankovic's 2003 pastiche of a Bob Dylan song, "Bob."

Le 6 juin, c'est la journée mondiale de la prévention des "ravageurs"  ou de la lutte contre les "nuisibles". Au-delà des risques, des nuisances, des éradications et autres nettoyages par le vide, BSG dévoile tout ce qu'on ne t'a jamais dit, appris sur les muridés (la famille des rats, souris, mulots et autres campagnols), ces pique-assiettes qui squattent nos maisons depuis des millénaires.Les connais-tu vraiment ?_______Les Rats, Souris, Mulots et Campagnols sont rassemblés dans la famille des Muridés, qui rassemble à elle seule la moitié de l'ordre des rongeurs : 1200 espèces sur plus de 2000 (1 espèce mammifère sur 3 est un rongeur). Certains "commensaux" se sont invités à la table humaine depuis l'aube de l'humanité, d'autres sont sauvages. Qui sont Mickey, Minnie, Jerry, Speedy Gonzales, Bernard, Bianca, Algernon, Célestine,  Ratatouille, Stuart Little, sans oublier celle qui récupère les dents sous les oreillers et cette autre souris, verte, qui court dans l'herbe… au naturel ?_______On dit souvent qu'un Renard consomme de 2 à 6000 micromammifères par an, surtout des campagnols. Ils sont donc vitaux pour l'équilibre écologique des milieux. Les booms et les crashes des populations de campagnols (tous les x années) sont bien connus des écologues et des naturalistes. Toute la chaîne alimentaire est affectée, puisque les populations de prédateurs dépendent directement de la ressource en proies._______Hélène Dupuy est spécialiste des micromammifères, et membre de la SFEPM, la Société Française pour l'Étude et la Protection des Mammifères.Pour retrouver et écouter facilement  les 16 épisodes de la série "Micromammifères", tapez simplement "Baleine + Dupuy" ou "Baleine + micromammifères" dans vos applis d'écoute._______

On Saturday, voters will elect a new mayor in Frisco for the first time in nine years. Candidate Rod Vilhauer said on a podcast in March that South Asian immigrants were “moving in and out of Frisco like rats” and called Islam a “terrorist group.” In other news, as the Dallas Wings seek answers about when they can move their game-day home to downtown Dallas, the WNBA team has made progress on a new practice facility; New zoning for more than 3,300 acres in South Dallas, a continuation of a wide-ranging community vision, got the green light from Dallas City Council on Wednesday night; and Clark and Dan Hunt said their dad, Lamar, could not have fully fathomed what's happening over the next four weeks with D-FW the epicenter of the World Cup.

Schäden nach Demonstrationen in der Innenstadt: Dagegen möchte die SVP vorgehen. Dafür hat sie eine Initiative lanciert. Der Grosse Rat hat heute darüber diskutiert. Eine Mehrheit des Rats empfiehlt dem Stimmvolk ein «Nein». Ausser der FDP hat keine andere Partei der Initiative zugestimmt. Ausserdem: · Basler Kantonspolizei verhaftet während Schwerpunktaktion von April bis Mai 38 Leute. · Die Baselbieter Regierung lehnt zwei Initiativen des Hauseigentümerverbands ab. · Das Museum BL muss 2028 wegen Umbauarbeiten für eineinhalb Jahre schliessen.

Today, rats are nearly synonymous with plague, but this association is surprisingly recent. For centuries, plague devastated populations without being linked to animals. So how did the rat become the symbol of one of history's deadliest diseases? In How Plague Got Rats: Mastering a Zoonotic Pandemic (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026), Professor Christos Lynteris unravels this story by focusing on the Third Plague Pandemic, a global outbreak that began in China in the 1850s and claimed an estimated 15 million lives by the mid-twentieth century. This was the first major pandemic recognized by scientists as zoonotic—spread from animals to humans—and it marked a turning point in both medical science and global health. Through a gripping historical investigation, Professor Lynteris explores how rats entered the medical imagination of the time. He reveals how scientific thinking about disease vectors evolved in tandem with colonial power structures as plague responses unfolded across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. From laboratory discoveries to imperial interventions, the rat became central not just to understanding plague, but to shaping new forms of epidemiological reasoning. This provocative book shows how zoonosis emerged as a politically charged concept in the context of empire and pandemic crisis. It is a powerful history of how science, society, and colonialism converged around a creature now inseparable from the story of epidemic disease. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In How Plague Got Rats: Mastering a Zoonotic Pandemic (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026), Professor Christos Lynteris unravels this story by focusing on the Third Plague Pandemic, a global outbreak that began in China in the 1850s and claimed an estimated 15 million lives by the mid-twentieth century. This was the first major pandemic recognized by scientists as zoonotic—spread from animals to humans—and it marked a turning point in both medical science and global health. Through a gripping historical investigation, Professor Lynteris explores how rats entered the medical imagination of the time. He reveals how scientific thinking about disease vectors evolved in tandem with colonial power structures as plague responses unfolded across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. From laboratory discoveries to imperial interventions, the rat became central not just to understanding plague, but to shaping new forms of epidemiological reasoning. This provocative book shows how zoonosis emerged as a politically charged concept in the context of empire and pandemic crisis. It is a powerful history of how science, society, and colonialism converged around a creature now inseparable from the story of epidemic disease. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Thirty generations later, rats were solving the same maze in 20 tries. Rats on a different continent — with no connection to the original colony — started at 25. The knowledge had spread. No one could explain how. A Cambridge biochemist named Rupert Sheldrake spent years studying cases like this — rats, birds, crystals, dogs, and humans — all showing the same pattern. His conclusion got his book called the best candidate for burning in modern scientific history. Then someone stabbed him for it. The evidence is stranger than it sounds, and the implications are hard to ignore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood.  We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces.  We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us? Grab your reading list and let's find out which books are actually worth your time!  No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary On this Dopey Monday Total Replay, Dave looks back at Dopey Episode 28, one of the strangest and creepiest early episodes of the show. It features Dave, Chris, and graphic-design Ryan — the guy who made the original Dopey logo — talking through old Lower East Side drug energy, the first major Dopey fan emails, weird ego stuff, drug stories, recovery, Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, and a whole lot of eerie foreshadowing. Dave reflects on how painful it is to hear Chris again, knowing he died in 2018, and uses the episode to make a simple but brutal point: if Chris had stayed in recovery, he probably wouldn't have died. The replay itself is classic early Dopey: messy, funny, dark, uncomfortable, and weirdly prophetic. Ryan tells a story about refusing to leave a drug pickup even after a guy puts a gun to his head. Chris talks about addiction, genetics, rats drinking heroin water, and recovery. Dylan randomly calls in right as Dave is talking about Dylan from 90210, which feels like Dopey synchronicity. The episode also includes the first big fan email from Tina in Philadelphia, Dave getting wounded by being called “Dan,” and a long, now-haunting conversation about Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner before Nick ever appeared on Dopey. It's funny, painful, and very Dopey. PLUS Drugs, addiction and dumb shit on the new/old 10 year anniversary of this episode!(of Dopey)   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Continuing the theme of disturbing animated films, the siblings break down Don Bluth's visual masterpiece, The Secret of NIMH (1982). Ross throughout questions creative diversions from the Robert C. O'Brien novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, mostly the introduction of a magic rock that gives a rodent powers. Carie relives the trauma that is the Great Owl, who lives in the scariest tree in the woods. Ross declares that Trump would have supported Jenner's coup, and the siblings remark on why the government wants you illiterate and lazy.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

In this episode of PICU Doc on Call, hosts Dr. Monica Gray and Dr. Pradip Kamat discuss a 15-year-old girl who attempted suicide by ingesting rat poison, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and amlodipine. The episode focuses on long-acting anticoagulant rodenticides (LAARs), such as brodifacoum, which inhibit vitamin K epoxide reductase, causing delayed coagulopathy. Key topics include clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management, emphasizing vitamin K1 as the primary antidote and prothrombin complex concentrate or fresh-frozen plasma for major bleeding. The patient stabilized with aggressive supportive care, including vasoactive agents and NAC therapy, alongside psychiatric intervention.

Most business owners are either drowning in AI rabbit holes or frozen by the paralysis of possibility. They know they should be doing more with AI. They just do not know where to start, what to focus on, or how to implement it without breaking what is already working. In this episode, Kelly sits down with Lauren Goldstein,  the Biz Doctor, a business consultant who spent 15 years helping entrepreneurs go from operator to owner through better teams, operations, and systems. And now, she is adding AI to the mix in a way that actually makes sense for real business owners running real companies. Lauren breaks down the three levels of AI most people do not even know exist, why 95% of AI projects produced zero profitable return last year, and the simple RATs framework that tells you exactly where to start. She also shares the AI workflows that have saved her clients at least five hours a week  (including a chief of staff agent, inbox triaging, and meeting prep) and walks through how she used AI to build a relationship capital database from six years of emails, her entire LinkedIn network, and her calendar in under ten minutes. This is not a conversation about chasing the newest tools or building 50 AI agents. This is about keeping it simple, going a mile deep and an inch wide, and using AI to do the business basics better than ever before. Timestamps: 00:45: Lauren's background: from pediatric neurology and epilepsy research to business consultant and the Biz Doctor 03:00: The two qualities every business owner needs that Lauren's mentor spotted in her — diagnosis and creative problem solving 05:00: The two extremes business owners fall into with AI and how to find the middle 06:30: The three levels of AI, and why most people never get past level one 07:30: Why if you are not getting great results out of AI you are probably not getting great results out of your team either 08:30: The RATs framework, and why five minutes a day adds up to a month of lost time every year 10:00: Why you cannot implement AI on a broken process, and what to build first 11:30: When in doubt ask the LLM: how to use Claude as a thinking partner to figure out what to systematize 12:30: The top three AI workflows saving clients five plus hours a week — chief of staff, inbox triaging, and meeting prep 15:00: The step by step for building a workflow: triggers, actions, and why agents fall on their face when we try to make them do everything 16:30: What is working best: getting everything out of your brain and into documents, going a mile deep on one platform, and asking the right questions 18:00: The traps to avoid: dabbling on every platform, chasing the shiny new thing, and building cool things that do not move the needle 19:00: How Lauren used AI and the Miracle Hour together, building a relationship capital database from six years of emails, LinkedIn, and her calendar in under ten minutes RESOURCES:  Join Lauren's next AI workshop and use code KELLY for $50 off: https://www.goldenkeypartnership.com/ai/ Build your first AI workflow with Lindy.ai - use https://try.lindy.ai/lauren to get a free trial and 50% off Listen to Lauren's podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-biz-doctor/id1618773779

This episode contains discussions of murder, arsenic poisoning, the deaths of children, and historical criminal trials. Ifyou need to skip any portion, advance past that segment using your chapter markers. This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary by examining two cases that expose how the justice system treated killers differently based on wealth, gender, and class. This week: a double feature — one case from Texas, one from Pennsylvania, eleven years apart, and both asking the same question. Was justice served?In January 1877, a woman known as Diamond Bessie crossed a footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou in Jefferson, Texas. She never came back. Her companion — the wealthy son of a Cincinnati jeweler — walked away with her rings on his fingers and her luggage on his arm. What followed was one of the most contested murder trials in Texas history, in a town that was already losing everything. This is true crime at its most infuriating: a woman's life weighed against a powerful family's money.Then we cross to Philadelphia, 1888. Sarah Jane Whiteling, a forty-year-old factory worker's wife in a rear apartment on Cadwallader Street, lost her husband, her daughter, and her son inside sixty-seven days. The insurance companies paid out $399 total — $47 for her two-year-old boy. Arsenic trioxide was in every body. The prosecution called it wholesale murder. The defense called it insanity. The jury took two hours. This is historical true crime that doesn't let you look away.The VictimsDiamond Bessie — real name believed to be Annie Stone, born around 1854 in upstate New York — had built a life on her own terms in an era that gave women almost none. She worked in upscale establishments in Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Hot Springs, accepting fine jewelry as payment, which earned her the name everyone knew her by. Dark- haired, pale-skinned, with grey or steel-blue eyes that period newspapers described as striking, she was intelligent and charming by every account. She married Abraham Rothschild in Danville, Illinois on January 11, 1877. Ten days later, a Black woman named Sarah King found her body propped against a twisted oak in the bayou woods — fully clothed, stripped of every piece of jewelry, a single gunshot wound to her temple.The Whiteling victims were a family. John Whiteling, thirty-eight, worked as a streetcar conductor and factory worker. Bertha was nine years old. Willie was two. John died on or around March 20, 1888. Bertha died April 25. Willie died May 26. Sixty-seven days, start to finish. Each death had a doctor's signature and a natural cause on the certificate. None of those causes were arsenic. The bodies at Mechanics' Cemetery held the truth that the living room had hidden.The CrimesAbraham Rothschild — son of Meyer Rothschild, a prosperous Cincinnati jeweler — had been traveling with Bessie since meeting her in Hot Springs around 1875. On January 21, 1877, he bought two picnic lunches from Henrique's Restaurant in Jefferson, crossed the footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou with Bessie, and came back alone. He told the hotel staff she was visiting friends. The next morning he wore two of her large diamond rings to breakfast. Two days later he boarded the eastbound train with both sets of luggage. He was traced to the Capitol Hotel in Marshall, then arrested after shooting himself outside a saloon — blinded in his right eye — in Cincinnati. His family spent what contemporary sources called "no fewer than ten high-priced attorneys" on his defense, led by U.S. Congressman David B. Culberson. The first trial ended in a conviction and a death sentence. The Texas Court of Appeals threw it out on a procedural technicality. The second trial ended in an acquittal. The jury deliberated four hours.Sarah Jane Whiteling purchased Rough on Rats — an arsenic trioxide compound manufactured by Ephraim S. Wells of New Jersey — and administered it to three members of her household between March and May of 1888. Coroner Samuel H. Ashbridge ordered the bodies exhumed. Professor Henry Leffmann, a chemist, and Dr. Henry F. Formad, a pathologist, found arsenic in every body. A drugstore clerk confirmed the purchase. Sarah confessed. Her defense centered on Dr. Alice Bennett — the first female physician to lead a department at an American asylum, Norristown State Hospital — who testified that Whiteling suffered from "physiological insanity" linked to reproductive dysfunction. The prosecution answered with their own experts: Drs. Charles Mills and John Chapin, who acknowledged she was of weak mind but said she was not legally insane. The jury deliberated approximately two hours. Guilty. First-degree murder. Death.On June 25, 1889, at 10:07 in the morning, Sarah Jane Whiteling was executed at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia. She was the first woman executed in Philadelphia since colonial times. She reportedly appeared calm and believed she would be reunited with her children in heaven.Historical ContextBoth cases unfold during America's Gilded Age — that era of violent contradiction between spectacular wealth and grinding poverty. Jefferson, Texas had been the biggest riverport in the state until the Army Corps of Engineers removed the natural logjam on the Red River in 1873, and the railroad bypassed the city for Marshall. What had once shipped more than 75,000 bales of cotton annually was already hollowing out when Bessie's body was found. Reconstruction was collapsing across the South. Democrats had retaken the Texas state government three years earlier. In this context, the Rothschild family's ability to hire an army of lawyers — including a sitting U.S. Congressman — and purchase an acquittal reads as something beyond a legal outcome. It reads as a statement about whose life counted.In Philadelphia, 1888, a factory worker's full-year wages ran between $300 and $500. Sarah Whiteling collected $399 from three life insurance policies — nearly a year's salary — for the deaths of her husband and two children. The arithmetic is not subtle. Dr. Alice Bennett's insanity defense was, by the standards of 1888 forensic psychiatry, genuinely innovative — her theory of "physiological insanity" in women with reproductive dysfunction would later be examined in the *Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law* (Vol. 48, No. 3, 2020). But the jury didn't buy it, and Sarah Whiteling hanged.Together these cases are a portrait of American justice in 1877 and 1888: brilliant, broken, and priced according to what you could afford.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
