I det här avsnittet får vi Fiska med Fajdur! Eller “fiska och fiska”. Fajdur verkar tycka att det är viktigare att ge fiskarna cupcakes. En sak ska du veta dock. Fajdur verkar alltid klanta till det. Men han är glad ändå :) Markus väljer att göra en salladsmix i en mixer. Det blir rejält mixade grönsaker. Såklart blir det gåtor också. Ja du hör ju. Full fart i det här avsnittet!

Det är högsäsong i norsk politik. Den 8 september är det stortingsval och i stora drag står valet mellan det idag styrande och i opinionen största partiet Arbetarpartiet och det näst största - högerpopulistiska Fremskrittspartiet. Valet är också ett tillfälle för Norges extremhöger att mobilisera. I mitten av augusti anordnades en stor internationell konferens på temat återvandring och bland talarna fanns framstående högerextrema ideologer som för vidare de politiska övertygelser som inspirerade Anders Behring Breivik att begå sitt terrordåd 2011. Samtidigt skakades Norge för bara en vecka sedan av ett högerextremt inspirerat mord, också det rubricerat som terrordåd.  Hur påverkar erfarenheter av högerextrem terrorism och våld det politiska samtalet i vårt grannland? Och hur väl lyckas norsk extremhöger att mobilisera inför valet? Gäster är Harald Klungtveit, chefredaktör för norska Filter Nyheter och Expos vd Daniel Poohl.

20 augusti. Sagan om batteritillverkaren Northvolt slutade i en av de största svenska konkurserna någonsin. Nu har forskaren Christian Sandström skrivit en bok om bolagets uppgång och fall. Andreas Ericson intervjuar honom om vad som gick fel och varför varken medier eller politiker såg avgrunden närma sig.

Verrassing! Om de warme weken zonder Boeken FM toch door te kunnen komen zijn we voor even terug in je podcastapp, met een special over een van de meest broeierige, zomerse vakantieboeken die er zijn: Bonjour tristesse van Françoise Sagan. De zeventienjarige Cécile brengt samen met haar vader de zomer door in een landhuis aan de Franse Rivièra en verwondert zich over de wereld van de jetset. Wanneer haar vader zijn versierdersbestaan dreigt in te leveren voor een huwelijk met de dominante Anne komt het gemakkelijke, aangename leventje van Cécile in gevaar. Ze bedenkt een plan waarbij ze haar naasten als pionnen bespeelt. Sagan was 19 jaar toen ze Bonjour tristesse schreef. Het sloeg in als een bom, waarom was dat? En welke verbinding heeft Bonjour tristesse eigenlijk met Griekse tragedies en Shakespeare? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finalement, il n'est peut-être jamais trop tard.Et pourtant, sur GDIY, “plus tard c'est trop tard” fait partie du vocabulaire.J'en suis plus sûr depuis que j'ai enregistré avec cette femme exceptionnelle d'une simplicité incroyable.À 81 ans, Perla Servan-Schreiber est fière de son âge et partage sa philosophie de vie, celle qui a guidé ses pas vers une vie hors du commun.Elle débarque à Paris juste avant mai 68 et assiste avec émerveillement à un changement d'ère qui allie féminisme, libération des mœurs, âge d'or de la presse et de la pub.Sans argent, Perla débute un métier dont elle ignorait l'existence grâce à une rencontre hasardeuse. Elle devient publicitaire de presse pour le magazine ELLE alors géré par Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet.Elle développe des concepts avant-gardistes à l'époque crée ce qui s'appellera plus tard le “brand content”.À plus de 40 ans, elle rencontre l'homme de sa vie, Jean Louis Servan-Schreiber avec qui elle reprendra Psychologie Magazine dix ans plus tard.En baronne de la presse, elle fait exploser les ventes allant jusqu'à 400 000 exemplaires par numéro, avant que le groupe Lagardère n'en fasse l'acquisition.Quand on lui demande quelle est la recette du succès, sa réponse est presque frustrante de simplicité : la chance et la joie.Passionnée de cuisine, Perla a écrit de nombreux livres de recettes et essais sur sa philosophie de vie. Parmi ses meilleurs conseils :Les clefs pour vieillir sain et heureuxLimiter ses possessions pour rester libreComment écrire pour soi et pour les autresLa danse des relations hommes-femmes au fil de sa vieComment nourrir ses relations (littéralement)Un épisode qui fait voyage et donne de l'espoir.

Nous sommes le 14 avril 1957, sur la route de Corbeil, non loin de Paris. Françoise Sagan est au volant de son Austin Martin. Dans la voiture, trois de ses amis ont pris place. Soudain, c'est l'accident. Les passagers sont légèrement blessés, la conductrice, quant à elle, souffre de multiples fractures. Pendant plusieurs jours, elle sera entre la vie et la mort. Pendant trois mois, pour soulager ses douleurs, les médecins vont lui administrer un dérivé de la morphine. Lepalfium 875 qui va la rendre addict, à jamais. Pour l'auteur de « Bonjour tristesse », la vie ne sera plus jamais comme avant.

“As the world changes, what place do my polyamorous romantic comedy novels have in our society? If the world now understands and somewhat accepts open relationships, is there even a need for my novels? These novels are for pre-pandemic times, BEFORE a lot of things changed — so what happens now? Are they ‘subversive enough,' and is there a place for them?”These are some of the questions your host, polyamorous romcom indie author and Life Coach Sagan Morrow, explores in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We discuss the importance of subversion and politics as part of creative expression, Sagan's thought process in applying this to her Polyamorous Passions novels, examples of what this looks like in burlesque dance (including a play-by-play breakdown of the subtext for one of Babe Maverick's most recent burlesque performances), and the deeply sinister nature of the seemingly-innocent “You should smile more!” comment that men so often say to women (and the way you can subvert this through the creative expression of living life). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions romantic comedy series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Life coaching with Sagan: https://saganmorrow.com/coaching/ Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 182 (let people enjoy “silly” art): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/16955029-182-let-people-enjoy-things-in-defence-of-twilight-instagrammers Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 186 (why your “weird art” matters): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/17346188-186-the-art-of-creative-weirdness-and-an-ode-to-z-nation-burlesque-dancing-and-my-lady-jane Support the show

You know how sometimes you just want to bro out with your cool hot dad? How sometimes you just need to concoct a scheme where you encourage your casual boyfriend and your dad's casual ex-girlfriend to pretend to be in a relationship together, so that your dad gets jealous, so that he leaves his current more-serious girlfriend, who is really harshing your buzz by asking you to be introspective and better yourself? Sometimes these things just happen!Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.Follow @overduepod on Instagram and BlueskyAdvertise on OverdueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Carl Sagan wasn't a prophet, just a brilliant scientist who saw the writing on the wall decades ago. This episode unpacks his chillingly accurate predictions about America's descent into misinformation, scientific illiteracy, and a society where critical thinking is abandoned for superstition. We dive deep into how his warnings about issues like climate change were tragically ignored, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing profit over people and the urgent need for a return to reason. It's a stark reminder of the uphill battle against denial, and why teaching skepticism to future generations is our only hope against unchecked power and climate catastrophe. Time to forge a new future with compassion, courage, and empirical evidence!News Source: Carl Sagan predicted present state of USA almost 26 years ago: Visionary scientist By Vani Khokar for Scoop Upworthy July 7, 2025

Get ready for a mind-bending journey

We talk a lot about racism in America, but what we're really contending with today isn't just race—it's culture. It's not about the color of your skin, but the code you speak. Not the blood in your veins, but the dialect on your tongue. It's not whiteness that gets punished—it's acting white. It's not blackness that's rejected—it's betraying the culture. This is not racism. This is cultural apartheid.I learned this growing up in Hawaii, where being a haole (white) wasn't the problem—it was acting haole that got you smacked down. The local Asian and Polynesian kids who studied hard, dressed preppy, or spoke standard English weren't accepted. They were called Twinkies (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) or bananas. Brown kids were accused of acting white. It's the same logic that calls Clarence Thomas the “Black face of white supremacy.” The attack isn't about biology—it's about betrayal.My mother knew the code. She drilled it into me. Inside the house, I was to speak proper Manhattanite English—“NPR English,” she called it. She filled my mind with Sagan, Picasso, PBS, poetry, National Geographic. But when I stepped out the door, she expected me to speak local. Slippah talk. Braddah slang. "What, you? Stink eye, eh?" That kind of thing. Code-switching wasn't optional. It was survival.And here's the thing: the people who don't or won't code-switch—who plant their feet and refuse—get culturally ghettoized. Not racially. Culturally. And then they're told this isolation is empowerment. That rejecting the norms of so-called whiteness is resistance. But what it really is? It's opt-in apartheid. It's self-segregation dressed up as identity.This isn't just about dialect or diction. It's deeper. It's about creating pride around disconnection. It's about rejecting opportunity because opportunity looks like assimilation. It's about mocking Black excellence if it “sounds white.” It's about labeling those who succeed outside the culture as sellouts. It's a trap—and it's being sold as virtue.What's happening isn't that different from what eugenicists once tried to do through force—except now it's happening through cultural manipulation. Back then, they sterilized. Now, they convince you to sterilize yourself. Back then, they built ghettos. Now, they convince you to build your own. Back then, they burned bridges. Now, you're told burning bridges is bravery.You want to know the wildest part? Even among white people, there's a caste. I had a guy on Mastodon—a literal white supremacist—tell me I wasn't really white. I'm Irish and Hungarian. That makes me untermench to him. Not Anglo. Not Aryan enough. Catholic, no less. Garbage blood. Slavic trash. So when you talk about whiteness, understand even the racists have tiers.The people who think they're resisting white supremacy by rejecting standard norms are actually reinforcing a deeper, more sinister system—a system that wants you contained, controlled, and culled. It wants you to choose self-limitation and then call it identity. It wants you to abandon the tools of success, then blame “the system” for failure. It wants you broke, isolated, and dependent—and convinced that's freedom.We need to call this what it is: cultural apartheid. Not class apartheid. Not even racial apartheid. Cultural. You're judged not by your skin, but by your syntax. Your style. Your self-presentation. You're either in the house, or you're in the yard. And the tragedy? A lot of people are choosing the yard and calling it liberation.So no, this isn't about “acting white.” It's about refusing to play the game that keeps you small. It's about seeing code-switching not as betrayal, but as strategy. It's about refusing to be a mule who plants their feet in defiance while the world moves on.Speak every language you can. Walk in every world you can. Don't let anyone shame you into staying small. The deck is open. The cockpit has a seat. Don't chain yourself to the hold and call it pride.

Biografia e libri di Françoise Sagan, scrittrice e drammaturga francese e autrice del famoso romanzo Bonjour tristesse.

Såhär i sommaruppehållet tänkte vi bjuda på ett gratisavsnitt och en skön sommarlyssning från vår Patreon! I denna nära 2 timmar långa berättelse får vi höra om Hrafnkels saga Freysgoða – en dramatisk isländsk saga om tro, makt och hämnd. Hör vår kära berättare Eva läsa hela sagan, där vi möter den stolte hövdingen Hrafnkel och hans älskade hingst Freyfaxe. En berättelse som både fascinerar och utmanar, med teman som än i dag väcker frågor om rättvisa och öde.   Tusen tack för att ni lyssnar och tipsar om podden! Låter det intressant med mer folktro och myter från oss, så kan vi varmt tipsa om att stödja oss på Patreon. Där vi just nu har över ett 60-tal olika avsnitt att lyssna på, bland annat våra serier om Fornnordisk Mytologi, Hela Världens Folktro, samt många andra bonusavsnitt, intervjuer och inlästa berättelser: https://www.patreon.com/narmantalaromtrollen     BONUSAVSNITT - Hravnkel Frösgodes saga I den isländska sagan Hrafnkel saga Freysgoða får vi följa den mäktige hövdingen Hrafnkel som var en ivrig dyrkare av guden Frej (därför bar han tillnamnet Freysgode). Han gav hälften av sina ägodelar till guden, inklusive sin häst Freyfaxe. I sagan avlägger han det löftet att den som rider på hästen skulle straffas med döden. I en episod bryter hans unga fåraherde detta och rider hästen i ett försök att leta reda på får. Hrafnkel dräper sedan honom och i och med detta drar en blodig fejd igång. Sagan har varit mycket undersökt inom forskningen och har av flera betraktats som en av de mest historiska och pålitliga av släktsagorna som till stor del bygger på muntlig tradition.  I det här nära 2 tim långa specialavsnittet har Eva läst in hela sagan, tillgängligt för alla våra Patreon-följare!  Översättningen som ligger till grund för inläsningen (men med en del förändringar för ökad läsbarhet) är gjord av Albert Ulrik Bååth och är ursprungligen publicerad i samlingen Isländska sagor från 1925. Länk till originaltexten: https://heimskringla.no/wiki/Ramnkel_Fr%C3%B6sgodes_saga   Förklaring till några äldre benämningar i texten: GODE - i norröna litteraturen vanligaste benämningen på isländska hövdingar, som under förkristen tid utövade ett prästerligt som juridiskt och politiskt ämbete. FRÖ - Guden Frej i fornnordisk mytologi SLIK/SLIKT - Sådan el. sådant/sånt där SÄTER - En slags fäbodvall el. sommarbete för djuren SKOSVEN - En slags personlig tjänare, ofta till stormän eller hövdingar.

Direction le sud…le Lavandou Pour se rafraichir non pas dans la verdure comme hier, mais les pieds dans l'eau. On part hôtel mythique posé sur les Roches à coté de la plage d'Aiguebelle ! son nom : les Roches, tout simplement : Après 10 ans de Travaux il rouvre enfin ce we ! Si je dis enfin c'est parce que c'est une institution dans le sud cet hôtel. Il ressemble à un navire, accroché aux calanques. Il a tellement rayonné que les hôtels des Roches Blanches à Cassis et des Roches Rouges à Saint-Raphaël lui doivent surement beaucoup. Mais il a aussi rayonné par son histoire. Tout a débuté dans les années 30 – a l'époque il s'appelait les “Roches fleuries”- c'est un lieu de villégiature estivale bien raffiné. Quelques noms ? Humphrey Bogart et Lauren Bacall, Jean Cocteau, Christian Dior, Winston Churchill. Le prix Nobel de littérature allemand Thomas Mann, Lui il s'y réfugie avec sa famille en 1933 pour fuir le nazisme. Et puis 2 décennies plus tard, en 57 c'est Françoise Sagan qui va y poser ses valises pendant le tournage de « Bonjour Tristesse » au Lavandou Vous dites que c'est un hôtel navire … c'est-à-dire ? Tout donne sur l'eau. D'où cette atmosphère un peu transatlantique : chacune des chambres, la terrasse, le bar, le restaurant de l'oursin. SI vous êtes de grands gastronomes, la cuisine d'Antoine Gras est essentiellement à base de poissons et de langouste mais la c'est sur le restaurant du rooftop « la Langouste sur le toit ». La vue sur les Iles d'or est juste époustouflante. D'ailleurs Je vous conseille de vous en approcher de ses iles en Ludik. C'est l'école de voile du Lavandou qui propose ca : un dériveur pour naviguer a 8… au ras de l'eau. Alors plusieurs options pour découvrir Les Roches ; vous pouvez y dormir- relais et châteaux-ou simplement y prendre un verre, diner sinon ils ont aussi sur la plage d'Aiguebelle un charmant petit hôtel- restaurant : les pieds dans le sable : l'hôtel de la plage, à 115 euros la nuit. Fiche Pratique L'Hôtel Relais et Châteaux : les Roches Restaurant l'oursin et Restaurant La langouste sur le toit d'Antoine Gras:  https://www.hotellesroches.com/ L'Hôtel de la plage : https://www.lhoteldelaplage.com/   LES VINS Avec l'été, nos envies changent : plus de fraîcheur, de la tonicité, moins d'alcool, plus de fruit. Évidemment, le rosé coche les cases, mais il y existe des alternatives, si vous voulez changer un peu. Tout d'abord, ne pas hésiter à mettre les vins, même rouges au frigo, on les sert souvent trop chauds. Et puisqu'on parle de vins rouges, voilà quelques idées :  - Gamay de Loire (cépage du Beaujolais), vinifiés sur le fruit, très croquant et juteux - Dans la Loire encore, le délicieux pineau d'Aunis, cépage local qui donne des vins poivrés et épicés/ Parfait pour les grillades. La tendance depuis quelques années : les rouges légers Des rouges qui assument de se boire comme des rosés, donc frais : on en trouve chez Chapoutier, Gérard Bertrand ou encore au château Malleret à Bordeaux J'aime leur côté digeste et canaille qui ne se prend pas la tête. C'est du fruit, du fruit et encore du fruit… plus structurés que la plupart des rosés. Ce ne sont pas des vins de garde, ils assument ce côté simple et immédiat.  Et puis, évidemment, les incontournables beaujolais, je parlais du gamay…un beaujolais-village bien vinifié, c'est délicieux aussi. Enfin, pour ces vins estivaux, n'hésitez pas à opter pour les « bib ». De nombreux bon vignerons s'y sont mis, d'un point de vue pratique et surtout environnemental, il n'y a pas photo !!

Né en 1973, Arnaud Cathrine publie en 1998 son premier roman, Les Yeux secs, aux Éditions Verticales. Depuis, il a fait paraître une trentaine de livres dont Pas exactement l'amour (2015, Prix de la nouvelle de l'Académie française) et Début de siècles (2022) ainsi que les séries À la place du cœur et Romance (Robert Laffont). Plusieurs de ses romans ont été adaptés au cinéma, à la télévision et au théâtre, et il a coécrit l'adaptation de l'un d'eux avec Eric Caravaca (Le passager/La route de Midland, 2006). Il est également conseiller littéraire pour la Maison de la poésie et les Correspondances de Manosque. « Une séparation, ce n'est rien. Et c'est toute une vie. » Ces mots, Raphaël les a accueillis comme une consolation. Sans doute aussi comme l'impulsion qu'il lui fallait pour arrêter de croire qu'il était irrémédiablement brisé. Certes, il n'a pas vécu une tragédie mais quand même : Anna l'a quitté après vingt ans passés ensemble. Une épreuve à fragmentations qui l'a laissé longtemps à terre. Mais après ? Raphaël prend la mesure de tout ce qu'il va falloir réinventer, sans elle. D'abord, où habiter, à présent qu'Anna conserve l'appartement familial et que leur fille part étudier à Toulouse ? Tout est possible. Et comme rien ne s'impose ni ne presse, il décide de s'exiler en faisant le tour des littoraux français, avec l'intuition que la fréquentation quotidienne des rivages, leur beauté puissante pourraient réveiller la vie en lui. Ce sera La Grande-Motte, Arcachon, Bénerville-sur-mer et Préfailles. Avec, comme imprévues au voyage, des rencontres qu'il n'aurait jamais faites du temps d'Anna. Roman de plages est le récit d'une traversée intime et existentielle, celle d'un homme qui saisit ce moment où, après l'effondrement, s'esquisse enfin un retour au monde, le beau monde du vivant et des vivants. (Présentation des éditions Flammarion) À LIRE ÉGALEMENT SUR LE MÊME SUJET Une anthologie insolite des écrits balnéaires « Il faudrait que je meure ou que j'aille à la plage », écrivait Michel Houellebecq. Si l'on penche pour la seconde solution, autant prévoir de la lecture (moins utile pour le premier choix, on en conviendra…). Dans ce cas, ce Grand Livre de la littérature de plage constitue la meilleure des options. Il rassemble, sous la forme d'une anthologie désordonnée et originale, des pages émouvantes, mordantes, troublantes ou amusantes sur les plaisirs balnéaires. Dans cette étonnante pléiade des bords de mer, Flaubert lance le frisbee vers François Truffaut, C. Jérôme étend sa serviette près de Françoise Sagan, Alain Robbe-Grillet fait une place sous son parasol à Nadine de Rothschild et les Mémoires d'outre-tombe marchent main dans la main, sur fond de soleil couchant, avec L'Année des méduses. La meilleure des lectures estivales puisqu'elle les contient toutes. Les « lectures de plage » sont forcément anecdotiques et légères ? Ce recueil démontrera au contraire combien la littérature sous toutes ses formes se ravive sur le sable et combien le soleil lui profite. (Présentation des éditions Séguier) Sélectionné pour le Prix du livre de plage 2025. Jean-Christophe Napias est éditeur et préside aux destinées de sa maison indépendante, l'éditeur singulier. Il est également l'auteur du Monde selon Karl (Flammarion) et de plusieurs livres sur Paris, dont Où trouver le calme à Paris (Parigramme).

Using generative AI to quote-unquote “write” a book is harmful not only to the artists those people are plagiarizing from, but it's also harmful to the plagiarizer and to CREATIVITY, itself. Let's talk about that! In this episode, your Author Diary Entries podcast host — romcom novelist and Personal Fulfillment Coach Sagan Morrow — takes the conversation about *AI as art theft* a step further by exploring the self-exploitation that occurs throughout this process, and the way in which we are now living a creative dystopian nightmare/horror story when so many people willingly give up their own voice, their own creativity, their own artistic experience, by outsourcing it to AI.Resources you might like and links mentioned in this episode: (Free!)

What is the art of creative weirdness? What are some great examples of creative weirdness, and how can YOU tap into your own creative weirdness when you are creating art (of any kind)? What is the ONE situation in which creative weirdness is NOT effective? Does art NEED to be “weird” in order to be powerful and incredible? What social commentary and feminist lenses can we view mainstream blockbuster action movies like Die Hard and Top Gun? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We collectively, as a society, do NOT share our weirdness enough! So let's talk about that today, through the lens of creative weirdness in TV (this is essentially a rave review of Z Nation), creative weirdness in performance art (burlesque dancing and what makes the burlesque community so special in general), and creative weirdness in novels (My Lady Jane). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Solopreneur Diary Entries weekly newsletter: SaganMorrow.com/newsletter How to Active Your Intuition (to reconnect with yourself and create space for your creative weirdness to flourish) masterclass: SaganMorrow.com/masterclass Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

On the anniversary of Jennifer's mom's passing, Linda stopped by for a chat about the process. That is - 'How do people offstage reach out to people onstage with coincidence or bits and pieces of memory, so we know they still exist?" In this case, she reminded Jennifer of a dream that she had where she'd seen her parents line dancing - the memory of seeing them doing that cowboy style.  That came out of a conversation about how my wife was aware of being visited by someone who popped the lyrics of John Denver's song into her mind - to not only remind her that he's visited her before, but that the lyrics have a special meaning to him. So Sherry went onto this person's web page, and indeed, back in 2012 they'd posted the lyrics to the song as it held some kind of special resonance to them. So the question is - how do you do that? This led to a discussion of how I'd done a guided meditation with a woman (it wasn't asked for, it was a demonstration) where she had all kinds of mind bending people come through, but at the end of her session I casually asked where in Manhattan she was living - and it turned out to bein the same building I lived in for a year back when I was producing pieces for the Charles Grodin show on CNBC. So the question went to Luana - "is that a coincidence, or is it something else?"  And that led to a discussion of how time works on the flipside - that people who are offstage often report that it feels like "time doesn't exist" - and a discussion of how Dr. Greyson notes in his NDE research that even those who experience that feeling do so sequentially.  That is - time does exist when meeting someone first, then the next person, then having another event occur. As noted, people like Jennifer, who is open to conversing with people offstage, can have a better view of the likely outcomes since so many are aware of what she's doing. However, that doesn't mean that people will learn something that will prevent their plan of learning that experience during this lifetime - or it won't alter someone else's path that is going to involved as well. As usual, mind bending stuff. Then Steve Jobs stopped by.  fans of our work know that he's been stopping by since Jennifer and I first met - and subsequently one of his family members has worked with Jennifer, so she's had enough conversations with him so I can kind of "skip down" or ask questions not about him, but about other people. In this case, I asked about people in the tech world who are convinced that consciousness is confined to the brain (someone like Bill Gates or someone like Elon Musk whose focus and aim includes a belief that consciousness is confined to the brain and the "known universe." Jennifer reminded us that the previous week Stephen Hawking had said that he "wished he had been aware of how consciousness worked" while he was still on the planet.. that he could have been able to bypass the filters on his brain and access other dimensions, or previous lifetimes. He's been showing up in our work since he passed - and the transcripts of those chats are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE and also on our podcast by searching for "Stephen Hawking" on the podcast. He also stopped by during a multiple person conversation - I'd invited four scientists, Sagan, Tesla, Einstein and Hawking - all who are available now on the flipside, and can answer questions about "who greeted them when they crossed over" and "what they've learned since being offstage." Interesting enough, Steve had advice for Bill Gates (other than saying "he's been through enough difficulties") - but advised that he'd have to "believe that we could talk to Steve" before he could "hear any advice."  As to Elon - about how he might change his attitude about empathy being a hindrance to civilization (as opposed to it's dependence upon it) - he suggested "playing a sport" - and specifically which one, it was "car racing" - as he'll learn he has to depend on others to succeed.  (Interesting idea).  First and foremost he said "He needs to take up a sport - not buy a team - but to participate in a sport." It's not opinion, theory or belief that people can access loved ones offstage - it's what I've been filming people doing for over fifteen years (FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON and HACKING THE AFTERLIFE are on amazon prime or gaia) and ten years with Jennifer every week - where we ask the same questions to people offstage, and sometimes I'll have other mediums ask them identical questions. (Hawking was interviewed by Dr. Medhus on her program and said the same basic things, in the film TALKING TO BILL PAXTON I had three mediums ask him the same questions - and all of them reported identical answers. The point being - there may be some other worldly explanation how a medium can answer the same questions when I'm not in the room and someone else is asking those questions (a blind study) but I'm not aware of how. Again - Jennifer works with law enforcement agents nationwide on a number of cases. A third of her day is pro bono work.  You can find her at JenniferShaffer.com and also at "Uncorked" events in Manhattan Beach. You can find me at RichardMartini.com - or send an email to MartiniProds at gmail.com to book a session where we talk to loved ones offstage. I asked Luana if the Pope wanted to come forward, both Jennifer and I held our breath - until she said "two meetings in the future."  (We'll see if he's up for it then).  Since it was Earth day we spoke a little bit with folks offstage about how we can change the planet. Thanks for tuning in!

The final part of our story of the Hills' strange encounter. We discuss the cheap hatchet job that Saint Carl Sagan did on the Hills' story, which came out quite tawdry in spite of Sagan's good intentions. Plus, we provide our suggestion for the best bet as to the real-life phenomenon that generated the Hills' legendary experience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We spend about 90 percent of our lives indoors, yet the air inside our homes and offices is often far more polluted than the air outside. Volatile organic compounds—better known as VOCs—are constantly emitted by furniture, cleaning products, and even the very walls around us. Formaldehyde, benzene, toluene—these chemicals sound like something you'd find in an industrial park, but they're actually in the places where we eat, sleep, and work.  Well, what if nature could give us a hand here? What if plants, and even microbes, could be supercharged to clean our air at a level that truly makes a difference? That's exactly the mission of today's guest: Patrick Torbey, CEO and co-founder of Neoplants. His company is using synthetic biology to enhance houseplants and their soil microbes with built-in air purification superpowers.  Right now, they are offering microbial powders called Power Drops to mix with water and sprinkle onto the soil of your own houseplants to super-charge their air purifying capacity. I already ordered mine and am using them now.  They also offer Neo Px, which is their all-in-one plant and microbe duo, including a Marble Queen Pothos.  The bottom line is that they claim their technology can make plants up to 30 times more effective at cleaning the air in our homes and offices than the plants we currently have today.  Their systems don't just filter air pollution but actually metabolize it into harmless compounds. In this episode, Patrick and I have a wide-ranging conversation about topics like synthetic biology, science fiction, nature vs. nurture, and of course, how his company's tech will both make money and make the world a better place. Already the company has raised more than $20 million in venture capital, with more still yet to come.  So, if you've ever wondered how science, business, and sustainability can come together to solve a problem hiding in plain sight—or in this case, plain smell—you won't want to miss this conversation.  Discussed in this episode You can order Neoplants' microbes for your houseplants' soil here. Our past podcast episodes with Pivot Bio (nitrogen-enhancing microbes) and Living Carbon (rapid-growth trees). Patrick discussed how reading Cosmos changed his life. There was also a 1980 TV Series by Sagan called Cosmos and an updated remake in 2014 by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Patrick discusses how China is planting forests outside cities to improve air quality. Patrick recommends reading science fiction, leading Paul to recommend a book he recently read, Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. More about Patrick Torbey Patrick Torbey is the co-founder and CEO of Neoplants, a Paris-based synthetic biology startup, engineering plants' genomes and microbiomes to have a positive impact on the air we breathe. Patrick has a PhD in genetic editing from ENS Paris, his expertise spans molecular biology, biotechnology, and entrepreneurship. He drove Neoplants R&D efforts for many years as CTO, and is now leading the company. Patrick is passionate about taking the “fi” out of “sci-fi.” He is fascinated by the potential of deep technologies to change the world for the better, and convinced that we need more and better GMOs to face the challenges of today in a sustainable way.
