Dans le podcast d'aujourd'hui, Vincent aborde des propositions qu'il fait dans son livre Autour du libéralisme en 80 idées. Saviez-vous qu'au Québec, on peut vendre ses cheveux, mais pas son sperme ou son plasma ? Est-ce que cela a du sens ? Devrions-nous le permettre et aller encore plus loin en permettant à quelqu'un de vendre un organe ? Devrait-on rémunérer le « don » d'organe d'un défunt ? Pourquoi ne pas permettre aux endeuillés de recevoir de l'argent ? Podcast à la fois éthique et économique, assez controversé, qui va jouer sur la fine ligne de la moralité de tout un chacun.Dans la TAVERNE, on continue la conversation autour de la question du consentement, notamment.

Chaque automne, la planète scientifique est en effervescence : c'est la saison des Prix Nobel ! Physique, chimie, médecine, littérature, paix et économie… six distinctions qui honorent celles et ceux dont les idées ont changé le monde. Mais derrière ces prix mondialement connus se cache une histoire inattendue, née d'un drame.Alfred Nobel, ingénieur et chimiste suédois, voit son frère mourir dans une explosion de nitroglycérine. Bouleversé, il se lance dans une quête : rendre cette substance instable plus sûre. C'est ainsi qu'il invente la dynamite, une avancée qui permet de creuser des tunnels, construire des routes et faire progresser la science. Mais son invention, utilisée aussi pour la guerre, lui vaut un surnom terrible : « le marchand de mort ».Décidé à laisser une image plus positive de lui, Nobel rédige un testament surprenant : il veut que sa fortune serve à récompenser ceux qui auront contribué au progrès de l'humanité. En 1901, les premiers Prix Nobel sont remis.Mais un siècle plus tard, la science se voit offrir un miroir décalé : les Ig Nobel. Créés en 1991 à l'université d'Harvard, ces prix parodiques récompensent des recherches à la fois loufoques et rigoureuses. Leur devise ? « Faire rire, puis réfléchir ».Parmi les études primées, certaines sont dignes d'un scénario de film : en 2018, des chercheurs ont prouvé que les montagnes russes pouvaient aider à expulser des calculs rénaux ! En utilisant de faux reins en silicone dans les attractions d'un parc Disney, ils ont découvert que le fameux train de la mine était le plus efficace.D'autres lauréats ont fait léviter une grenouille grâce à un champ magnétique, démontré que les bébés tètent plus quand leur mère mange de l'ail, ou encore observé que les couche-tard sont plus narcissiques que les lève-tôt. En 2025, des chercheurs ont été salués pour avoir montrer que les rayures de zèbres font fuir les mouches. Pour le prouver, ils ont fait le test sur des vaches. D'autres ont prouvé que le vol des chauves-souris était alteré par l''alcool (tout comme l'écholocation). Alcool qui, consommé à faible dose, pourrait aussi améliorer notre accent dans une langue étrangère (d'autres chercheurs l'ont montré). Si ces recherches font sourire, elles rappellent surtout que la science commence souvent par une idée étrange. Et certains de ces chercheurs farfelus ont fini par décrocher un vrai Nobel ! C'est le cas d'Andre Geim, qui, après avoir fait léviter une grenouille, a reçu le Nobel de physique pour ses travaux sur le graphène.Longtemps considérés comme moqueurs, les Ig-Nobel sont aujourd'hui devenus un symbole d'audace et de créativité. Ils célèbrent la curiosité sous toutes ses formes et rappellent qu'une idée, même insolite, peut faire avancer la connaissance. Entre sérieux et dérision, les (Ig-)Nobel nous prouvent que la science, parfois, a aussi le droit de nous faire rire.Vous aimez ce contenu ?

Léo SVR est notre talent RAJE de la semaine. Originaire d'un petit village de la région lyonnaise, Saint-Vincent-de-Reins – d'où il tire son nom – le jeune rappeur s'est très tôt forgé un univers bien à lui. Entre humour, introspection et technicité, Léo SVR s'impose comme une des plumes les plus prometteuses de la scène rap émergente. Il commence par créer ses propres instrumentales, seul sur son ordinateur, avant de poser ses textes et de trouver peu à peu sa signature sonore. En 2023, son titre « Placebo » le révèle à un public plus large. Depuis, il trace sa route sans précipitation, mais avec une exigence artistique rare. En janvier 2025, il sort « Sunchaser », un projet solaire et introspectif, fidèle à son image : un rap lucide mais jamais moralisateur, personnel sans être égoïste. On y retrouve Edge et Ben PLG, deux collaborations qui confirment sa place parmi les artistes à suivre de près. Sur scène, Léo SVR partage une énergie brute, une sincérité touchante et un sens du mot juste. Son nouveau single, « Diagonale du vide », prolonge cette exploration sensible et poétique, à la croisée de la mélancolie et de la lumière. RAJE l'a rencontré pour vous lors du TSHH Festival qui s'est tenu à Nîmes en septembre 2025.
"Wait For Fire Burning" Formed in Oakland in 1985, Legal Reins were comprised of singer/guitarist Danny Benatar, bassist Eden Unger and drummer Tim Freund. They tore up the Bay Area scene, playing show after show and cementing themselves as one of the best live bands around. This is a band who did the work, got in the reps and eclipsed the Gladwellian idea of 10,000 hours. Opening for everyone from Madness to Killing Joke, Legal Reins proved themselves time and again that they could step on any stage and match anyone in terms of power and heart. Their exhilarating blend of sweeping pop epics and punchy hook laden rock and roll brought to mind everyone from The Sound to Echo and the Bunnymen to the Waterboys. After a bit of a bidding war, they signed to Arista in 1987, put out their debut album Please, The Pleasure soon after and then? Well, then things turned the other way. I'm going to let Tim tell you the story, but let me say this: In 1986 I was the music director of KVHS, an all-metal station located conveniently on my high school campus. I was in the habit of sneaking in The Smiths and The Chameleons in between Accept and Venom just to see if anyone noticed--they did, by the way. It was slightly terrifying to be 16 and getting death threats for not playing King Diamond, but I digress. Legal Reins called me up and they were very kind and I loved their music and one time I played them in between Y&T and Armored Saint and this one guy called up and said, very aggressively, Who was that you played after Y&T? I told him Legal Reins and he was quiet for second and then he said, That was pretty good...

“When you're a kid, you have so little control over things. To be the big entity controlling the smaller entity, whether it's dolls or [toy] soldiers or whatever it is, they do what you tell them to do. They become the story you are making.” — Brian SelznickWe all want to feel in control, mold our lives and experiences, and shape the world into something we can hold. But control is slippery; one moment, it can steady us, the next, it slips away. Brian Selznick—#1 New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, and Caldecott Medal winner—has spent his career playing with this tension. From "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" to "Wonderstruck" and, most recently, "Run Away With Me," Brian believes that it's his job as the author to control the reader's experience, forcing page turns and placing illustrations in a particular order, all while acknowledging that control is ceded to the reader once a book is in their hands.In this episode, Under My Thumb: Brian Selznick on Control, Brian reflects on his lifelong pull toward control in life and art—what drives it, how it shapes his work, and when the need to let go becomes inevitable. He shares his fascination with all things miniature and opens up with unflinching honesty about his complicated relationship with his father, spanning life and loss. He also reveals a formative influence you might not expect, and a most extraordinary afternoon with Ray Bradbury.Settle in for a fascinating, moving episode with one of the great creators of our time.***For his reading challenge, Brian has curated two lists: one exploring queerness in literature over time and the other celebrating the power of the page turn. The latter is about his commitment to books, experimenting with form, and the balance of control between writer and reader.Peruse selected titles and Brian's complete reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/brian-selznickThis week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Chelsea Pisani, a rockstar children's librarian at Maple Valley Branch Library in Akron, Ohio.

If your equine business growth feels stalled, the problem might not be your marketing tactics — it might be your mindset. Oftentimes, when sales aren't going as expected, we look outside at why our marketing isn't working.

For today's episode, I want you to evaluate the story you tell yourself about your launch, your business, and your leadership or marketing abilities. Why? As the business owner, you are also a key part of the sales process!You'll see how the stories you're telling yourself may be what's actually holding you back. And, you know I'm always here to provide the practical “now what” solutions.
