Los hunos fueron unos guerreros de la estepa que llegaron a Europa oriental a finales del siglo IV d.C. Primero atacaron a los germanos que vivían allá, después trabaron alianzas con ellos y con los romanos, y finalmente, gracias al liderazgo de su rey Atila, pusieron en jaque a todo el imperio romano. Han pasado más de 1500 años desde entonces, pero a día de hoy los hunos nos siguen planteando las mismas preguntas que se hacían los romanos: ¿de dónde salió esa gente? ¿Cómo lograron armar una de las maquinarias militares más formidables de la historia? Lamentablemente los hunos, como la gran mayoría de pueblos de la estepa, eran nómadas y no encontraron tiempo para lujos como el de escribir su propia historia, así que nos toca a nosotros reconstruirla con las pistas que su paso por esta tierra fue dejando. Hoy os hablamos de una investigación que analiza lo poco que ha quedado de la lengua de los hunos y trata de encontrar vínculos con otros habitantes de la estepa. La imagen que emerge de este artículo es que el "núcleo duro" de la sociedad huna podría estar formado por gentes paleosiberianas, un grupo étnico que en la actualidad se reduce a apenas 1000 personas que viven en pequeñas aldeas en el corazón de Siberia. Si estos autores están en lo cierto, los hunos habrían realizado una migración épica entre China y Europa. Si queréis leer el artículo, se trata de "Linguistic Evidence Suggests that Xiōng-nú and Huns Spoke the Same Paleo-Siberian Language", de Svenja Bonmann y Simon Fries. Es de acceso libre y lo podéis encontrar aquí: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-968X.12321 Si, como a mí, os interesan los pueblos de la estepa y lo que la lingüística nos puede contar sobre ellos, os recomiendo que revisitéis el episodio s11e15 de La Brújula. En él os hablamos sobre otra familia lingüística, la transeuroasiática, que nos habla de otro viaje extraordinario a través de la estepa: el de los antepasados de los mongoles y los turcos, que resultarían ser primos de japoneses y coreanos.

Mel Giedroyc is Gyles's special guest on this episode; and she talks about her amazing family story. Her father and his family were taken from Eastern Poland to Siberia by the Russians in 1939 - Mel's grandfather was shot, but her grandmother, dad and aunts made an extraordinary journey and eventually reached London, where Mel's father settled and met her mother. It's a fascinating, moving and sometimes shocking tale, and a very special edition of Rosebud. Mel also talks about meeting Sue Perkins at Cambridge, about being flashed at in Italy, and about her love of walking holidays. Mel Giedroyc is the host of the brilliant Where There's a Will There's a Wake podcast, in which guests plan their perfect funeral and talk about the manner in which they're going to meet their maker.

In this episode, Professor Andrei Lankov and NK News' Anton Sokolin discuss the fascinating story of the Yankovskys — a Russian family whose journey took them from Siberian exile to colonial Korea, and ultimately, to the heart of North Korea's tumultuous 20th-century history. The discussion centers on the family's time in what became the DPRK after relocating from Siberia, where they ran a tiger hunting resort in the northern region, near Chongjin.  They also explore how the family's story intersects with the shifting allegiances of North Korea, highlighting their relationship with the regime and how it shaped their survival in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment. Andrei Lankov is a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul and the director at Korea Risk Group.

Send us a textThe systematic abduction and militarization of Ukrainian children by Russian forces represents one of the most devastating yet underreported aspects of the ongoing war. In this eye-opening conversation, Ukrainian historian and religious scholar Vladislav Haverlov reveals the shocking scope and calculated nature of Russia's deportation campaign targeting Ukrainian youth.His research with the Institute of World History at Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences and his work documenting war crimes with multiple humanitarian organizations exposes the brutal reality behind Russia's euphemistically labeled "evacuations." Since February 2022, Russian authorities have forcibly transferred thousands of Ukrainian children from occupied territories to Russia, with official counts identifying 19,546 deported children. Most alarmingly, only 1,366 have been successfully returned after three years of war.Children are taken by bus or train, processed through filtration camps & dispersed across a network of "temporary accommodation centers" throughout Russia. Many are deliberately sent to remote regions like Siberia. In these facilities, Ukrainian children undergo systematic indoctrination, losing their documents, language, and cultural identity. They are funneled into paramilitary organizations like "Young Army" where children as young as eight receive military training. Read more________Travel on International Mission, meet local leadership and work alongside them.

Este jueves el programa le ha parecido muy soso al jefe de becarios Gudi. Para animarlo ha traído una noticia sobre un pueblo de Siberia donde han alcanzo los 71 grados bajo cero. Se convierte de esta manera en el segundo lugar más frío del mundo, después del estudio principal de Onda Cero. Los becarios de Más de uno se han confabulado para tratar de subir la temperatura, pero tienen que enfrentarse a un reto mayúsculo, uno de los secretos mejor guardados de Atresmedia, encontrar en que parte del edificio se encuentran los termostatos.

The Local Selection returns after a few weeks off, with deni_sova of Nocturnal Animals kicking things off with a mix weaving over house, electro, disco, rave, and more, demonstrating the breadth of her sound palette in a seamless hour mix. We welcome deni_sova to the Local Selection, the alias of DJ, producer, and co-founder of one of Dublin's fast-rising techno collectives, Nocturnal Animals. Born in Siberia and now based in Ireland, Nastya has carved out her space in the country's club culture. Since launching Nocturnal Animals with longtime collaborator Seboro in 2022, the pair have quickly built a loyal following, selling out shows and sharing lineups with the likes of Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, and Sama' Abdulhadi. Her usual sets are comprised of high-octane, no-holds-barred techno, but on this occasion, she shifts gears...Inspired by the hazy euphoria of open-air parties and the collective spirit of festivals like Beyond the Pale, Electric Picnic, and IYKYK, she leans into something more fluid, a sonic aesthetic that stretches across deep house, disco, and electro. “I wanted this mix to feel like a journey,” she says. “It's a love letter to electronic music in all its forms—groovy, emotional, uplifting, but still with that edge I can't let go of.” deni_sova ------------------------- SC: https://soundcloud.com/deni_sova IG: https://www.instagram.com/deni_sovaa/ Four Four Magazine

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:34] China's Diplomatic Strategy Toward the Middle East[05:00] A Limited Chinese Response and China's Regional Role[08:19] Chinese Perceptions of Iran's External Strategic Blunders[15:00] Trickling Chinese Investment into Iran[20:10] Chinese Concerns About a Nuclearized Iran[25:09] Implications of the Israel-Iran War for China's Energy Security[32:04] Trump's Response Shaping Chinese Views of the United States 

For more than 70 years, the Soviet Union outlawed most Jewish practice in the Soviet Union. Yet throughout that time, a vibrant Jewish Underground existed with synagogues, schools, yeshivas, kosher slaughter, Jewish circumcision, Torah classes and more.The punishment for being caught committing any of the above 'transgressions' was hard labor in the Gulags of Siberia or death. Thousands of members of the Jewish underground were killed, thousands more spent years in the Gulags but the clandestine Jewish activities continued and grew.JThe fascinating untold story of the Jewish Underground in the Soviet Union.

At times we have the opportunity to deviate a little from the tried-and-true conversations this podcast has become known for as opportunities occur for us to sit down with a very special person, perhaps not known as a sewist or quilter, but as someone who has made an indelible mark in the world of creativity. Our guest today is a woman whose life and work have helped shape some of the most iconic spaces and moments in American design history – and whose personal story is just as remarkable as her professional one.Tania McKnight Norris was born in Scotland and lived in London and Zimbabwe (then Southern Rhodesia) before relocating to Los Angeles in 1963. With a refined eye for detail, a love of elegance, and an independent spirit, she made her way to the United States and found herself working at the highest levels of interior design—at a time when few women were given a seat at the table.She joined the design team at Walt Disney Productions in the 1960s, becoming the only woman on the original five-person team responsible for creating the interiors of Disneyland's New Orleans Square and the elegant Club 33—an exclusive private club hidden behind an unmarked door that has since become the stuff of legend. Tania designed the club's original logo, handpicked furnishings, and helped shape its iconic look and feel, combining European sophistication with imaginative flair.Norris left Disney in the 70s, working as a project designer for the RMS Queen Mary before relocating to central California and opening an antique shop. She also anchored a weekly radio show about antiques and participated in antique shows throughout the United States while running her shop.Her interests include gardening, photography travel, cooking, needlepoint and botanical art – she is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists.Today, Tania joins us to reflect on a life lived with imagination, strength, and purpose.

Any why Mitzie Chandler got paid more.(26:22) What's it like for Tania to walk into a haunted mansion and see her work? What happened when she saw it on a maiden voyage of a Disney cruise ship?(27:33) Tania is a sewist. How did she learn to sew and what are her favorite things to make. How did WWII influence her sewing? And what's she up to with Joe Vecchiarelli?(33:10) Tania has visited +130 countries. Her some of her wonderful tales of adventures. Let's start with Antarctica.

  Today Razib talks to Manvir Singh about shamanism, religion and anthropology. Singh is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of California, Davis. An artist and essayist, he is also now a regular contributor to The New Yorker. His academic interests lie in explaining why most human societies, from preliterate foragers to urbanites, develop cultural phenomena like “witchcraft, origin myths, property rights, sharing norms, lullabies, dance music, and gods.” He just came out with his first book, Shamanism: The Timeless Religion. First Razib asks what Singh exactly means by shamanism, and whether it is a religion or not. Singh argues that shamanism is religion, that in some ways it is the primal religion. While many would contrast institutional religions like Christianity with shamanism, Singh points out that even Christianity includes shamanic practices, as in the Acts of the Apostles, or in some of the Pentecostal sects of Protestantism. He also discusses how his theoretical understanding of religion was complemented by field-work among the Mentawai tribe of Indonesia, who have a rich shamanic tradition. Razib then foregrounds the question of whether shamanism was invented in a particular place and time, like Siberia as argued by some 20th-century scholars, or whether it is universal in our psychology. Singh argues for the latter position, illustrating the fact that many cultures seem to lose shamanism when the number of adherents falls low enough, but that they seem to regain it once their popularity bounces back. Humanity's shamanic impulse is always there, at the ready. Razib and Singh also discuss the ubiquity of shamanic practices across East Asia, especially in Korea and Japan. In the latter society, shamanism forms the foundation of one of the people's two major religions, Shinto. Finally, they address the role of psychedelic drugs in the emergence of shamanism cross-culturally.

En paleontología no hay nada tan frustrante como tener restos de una especie interesante y que sean incompletos: se queda uno con muchas preguntas en la cabeza y consciente de que habrá que esperar a que la suerte nos conceda más respuestas la próxima vez. En pocas especies humanas es esto más palmario que con los denisovanos: descubiertos en Siberia en el año 2010, casi todo lo que sabíamos de ellos viene del ADN... hasta hace dos semanas. Dos estudios, publicados en las revistas Cell y Science, han logrado extraer ADN y proteínas de un cráneo encontrado en el año 2018 y han confirmado que ese cráneo, hasta ahora sin identificar, pertenece a un denisovano. Al fin, quince años después, ya tenemos "la cara" de un denisovano. En el programa de hoy os hablamos de esta especie humana y de su fascinante historia, porque durante 15 años sólo hemos tenido de ellos pequeños trocitos de hueso y algún diente, pero las técnicas genéticas del siglo XXI han permitido, sólo con ese material, establecer que pertenecen a una especie desconocida emparentada con los neandertales. Poco a poco esos huecos se van rellenando, y con el descubrimiento de este año damos un gran paso para conocer mejor a estos parientes que habitaron en Asia durante los últimos 300.000 años. En el programa mencionamos que el único híbrido humano de primera generación que conocemos es la hija de un denisovano y una neandertal. En La Brújula ya os hablamos de este espécimen, poco después de que se descubriera su privilegiada ascendencia: si queréis refrescar la memoria, buscad el episodio s08e01. Si queréis consultar los artículos en los que se detalla el ADN (y las proteínas) extraídos de este cráneo, el primero es "Denisovan mitochondrial DNA from dental calculus of the >146,000-year-old Harbin cranium", de Qiaomei Fu et al, y lo podéis encontrar en este enlace: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)00627-0 El segundo es "The proteome of the late Middle Pleistocene Harbin individual", de nuevo de Qiaomei Fu y colaboradores, y lo tenéis en este otro enlace: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adu9677 Este programa se emitió originalmente el 1 de julio de 2025.

Tom Baxter is the founder of Bristol Fungarium, the UK's first organic-certified medicinal mushroom farm. A former organic vegetable grower and forest school leader, Tom has spent years foraging in the wild across the Pyrenees, Siberia, and the forests of Somerset. Today, he leads a pioneering operation that not only cultivates native strains of mushrooms but also funds neuroscience research and runs the only dedicated analytical lab for medicinal fungi in the UK.In this episode, Tom joins Robin Harford for a rich and far-reaching conversation about the power, mystery, and challenges of working with medicinal mushrooms. They explore the rise of lion's mane, the pitfalls of the supplement industry, why most mushroom powders are misleading, and what makes a mushroom extract genuinely effective. It's a frank and passionate look into one of nature's oldest and most complex kingdoms.

pWotD Episode 2982: Roman von Ungern-Sternberg Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 249,502 views on Tuesday, 1 July 2025 our article of the day is Roman von Ungern-Sternberg.Nikolai Robert Maximilian Freiherr von Ungern-Sternberg (Russian: Роман Фёдорович фон Унгерн-Штернберг, romanized: Roman Fyodorovich fon Ungern-Shternberg; 10 January 1886 – 15 September 1921), often referred to as Roman von Ungern-Sternberg or Baron Ungern, was a Russian military leader in the Russian Civil War and then an independent warlord who intervened in Mongolia against China. Part of the Russian Empire's Baltic German minority, Ungern was an ultraconservative monarchist who aspired to restore the Russian monarchy after the 1917 Russian Revolutions and to revive the Mongol Empire under the rule of the Bogd Khan. His attraction to Vajrayana Buddhism and his eccentric, often violent, treatment of enemies and his own men earned him the sobriquet "the Mad Baron" or "the Bloody Baron". He was viewed by his Mongolian subjects during his rule as the "God of War".In February 1921, at the head of the Asiatic Cavalry Division, Ungern expelled Chinese troops from Mongolia and restored the monarchic power of the Bogd Khan. During his five-month occupation of Outer Mongolia, Ungern imposed order on the capital city, Ikh Khüree (now Ulaanbaatar), by fear, intimidation and brutal violence against the Bolsheviks, Jews and Chinese. In June 1921, he travelled to eastern Siberia to support anti-Bolshevik partisan forces and to head off a joint Red Army-Mongolian rebel invasion. That action ultimately led to his defeat and capture two months later. He was taken prisoner by the Red Army and, a month later, was put on trial for "counter-revolution" in Novonikolayevsk (now Novosibirsk). He was found guilty after a six-hour show trial, and on 15 September 1921 he was executed.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:45 UTC on Wednesday, 2 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Roman von Ungern-Sternberg on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.

Edition No174 | 30-06-2025 - Today we go into a catastrophe unfolding right now, and in fact for a few months, that is largely unnoticed —far from cameras, beyond headlines, in the Siberian wilderness. “Let it burn” has become Russia's unofficial policy towards vast wildfires that started early this year, from February onwards, in Siberia. Putin has focused the country's resources on stealing territory from its neighbour Ukraine, and setting its cities on fire, rather than tackle the flames in its own backyard. The resulting destruction and pollution are a threat on a planetary scale. Russia is truly the arsonist of countries. Massive wildfires are tearing across Russia's Far East, igniting forests, choking cities, and once again exposing the brittle infrastructure of a government prioritizing war over life. And yes, we've seen this before. Last year, and the year before. But this year is different, because of the scale, and because of the amount of people and resources diverted into the war.----------DESCRIPTIONRussia's Burning Lands: Unseen Environmental CatastropheIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into Russia's uncontrollable wildfires raging across Siberia. These fires, which began in February, are causing massive destruction and pollution due to the Russian government's negligence, as military spending takes precedence. With over 1.4 million hectares burned, entire regions are under toxic haze, exposing the brittle infrastructure and mismanagement of fire control efforts. The situation exacerbates global climate challenges, turning carbon sinks into sources. As the crisis worsens, the episode highlights the urgent need to address Russia's internal issues and the broader environmental impact.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Overview00:17 Support for Ukraine and Fundraising Efforts00:48 The Unfolding Catastrophe in Siberia01:53 The Scale and Impact of the Wildfires03:35 Government Response and Budget Issues04:31 The Human and Environmental Toll05:45 Global Implications and Future Outlook06:43 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/13/in-photos-wildfires-tear-across-russias-far-east-a89061https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/04/11/major-fires-in-siberia-far-east-mark-ominous-start-to-russias-2025-wildfire-season-a88683 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/14/europe/russia-wildfires-rage-siberia-region-intl-latam https://kyivindependent.com/massive-forest-fires-break-out-in-russias-far-east-buryatia-declares-regional-emergency/ https://theins.ru/en/society/279838 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2054586/russia-state-emergency-buryatia-wildfires ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

What are the contents of Out of Body Experiences? How closely do they map the actual physical world? Is it possible to induce them purposefully? How do modern practices compare to indigenous shamanic ones?In this Episode we look at the scientific, religious, cultural and historical contexts of Out of Body Experiences, also known as astral projection - so the experience in which an individual appears to leave their body and be able to travel around the world and into other dimensions, often meeting other worldly entities, similarly to DMT psychedelic experiences, (see Episode #73, “DMT Entity Experiences”). So, we get into the phenomenology- the various things people experience; potential neurobiological explanations; and the possibility of inducing the experiences on purpose and of exploring alternate realities; we get into indigenous traditions of ‘Shamanic flight' and which people might be predisposed to these alternate states of consciousness; and we end up talking about a potential connection between OBE, sleep paralysis and ludic dreaming.To discuss this slippery topic, we have a researcher who is also a lifelong experiencer, who has devoted her career to trying to understand these phenomena, the medical anthropologist and author Samantha Lee Treasure; she has an MA in Medical Anthropology from SOAS university in London, has been a brain science research assistant at the University of Liege, and has just released her first book on the topic, “Out of Body experiences”, the release of which this episode is timed to coincide with.What we discuss:00:00 Intro.11:30 What is medical anthropology?16:00 OBE entity research.22:15 Samantha's New Book - getting beyond preconceptions.25:50 OBE vs Astral projection - bypassing the taboo.30:00 Common reported OBE experiences.33:00 Mental body schemas and projected models of the world.37:00 Do OBE's map the real world accurately?45:00 Olaf Blanke - the Temporoparietal junction discovery.48:45 No sense of smell during OBE nor processed by the TPJ.49:40 Techniques to induce OBE's intentionally.53:45 Bob Monroe's perspective switching technique.55:30 Shamanic flight practices in Tuva, Siberia.59:35 The sonezen - the perceiving mind self.01:01:00 This is not for everyone, it can be scary.01:05:00 The predisposition for some to have these experiences.01:10:45 Crossovers between NHI Contact and OBE entity experiences.01:14:20 Genealogical predispositions.01:18:25 “Reality Shifting” and the role of intention in OBE.References: Samantha Lee Treasure, “Out-of-Body Experiences: Explorations and encounters with the astral plane”.Stephen Le Berge, “Pre-sleep treatment with Galantamine stimulates lucid dreaming” paperOlaf Blanke, “Linking out-of-body experience and self processing to mental own-body imagery at the temporo-parietal junction” paper.

This week we're going to learn about a new finding about the skull referred to as the Dragon Man! Further reading: We've had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew The proteome of the late Middle Pleistocene Harbin individual Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It never fails that only a few days after our annual updates episode, a study is published that's an important update to an older episode. This time it's an update so important that it deserves its own episode, so let's learn more about one of our own extinct close relations, the Denisovan people. We didn't know about the Denisovans until 2010, when DNA was sequenced from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in Siberia in 2008. Scientists were surprised when the DNA didn't match up with Neanderthal DNA, which is what they expected, since they knew Neanderthals had lived in the cave at various times over thousands of years. Instead, the DNA was for a completely different hominin, a close relation of both humans and Neanderthals. Since then, researchers have found some Denisovan teeth, two partial mandibles, a rib fragment, and some other bone fragments, but nothing that could act as a type specimen. The type specimen is the preserved specimen of a new species, which is kept for scientists to study. It needs to be as complete as possible, so a handful of fragments just won't work. Even without a type specimen, having Denisovan DNA answered some questions about our own history as a species. Ever since scientists have been able to sequence genetic material from ancient bones, they've noticed something weird going on with our DNA. Some populations of people show small traces of DNA not found in other human populations, so scientists suspected they were from long-ago cross-breeding with other hominin species. When the Neanderthal genome was sequenced, it matched some of the unknown DNA traces, but not all of them. Mystery DNA sequences in a closely related population are called ghost lineages. The Denisovan DNA matched the ghost lineage scientists had identified in some populations of people, especially ones in parts of east Asia, Australia, and New Guinea. This is your reminder that despite tiny genetic differences like these, all humans alive today are 100% human. We are all Homo sapiens. Naturally, we as humans are interested in our family tree. We even have an entire field of study dedicated to studying ancient humans and hominins, paleoanthropology. Lots of scientists have studied the Denisovan remains we've found, along with the genetic material, but they really need a skull to learn so much more about our long-extinct distant relations. Luckily, we've had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s. But wait, you may be saying, you just said we didn't have anything but bone fragments and teeth! Why didn't you mention the skull? It's because the skull was hidden by its finder, a Chinese construction worker. The man was helping build a bridge and was ashamed that he was working for a Japanese company. That region of China was under Japanese occupation at the time, and the man didn't want anyone to know that he was working for people who were treating his fellow citizens badly. He thought the skull was an important find similar to the Peking Man discovery in 1929, so he hid the skull at the bottom of an abandoned well to keep it safe. He didn't dare share any information about it until he was on his death-bed, when he whispered his secret to his son. It wasn't until 2018 that the man's family took another look at the skull and realized it definitely wasn't an ordinary human skull. It was obviously extremely old and had a pronounced brow and really big teeth. In 2021 the skull was classified as a new species of hominin, Homo longi, where the second word comes from the Mandarin word for dragon. That's because the area where it was found is called Dragon River.

En verano, a pesar del calor, las ciudades y las pequeñas poblaciones se llenan de encuentros. Hay grandes festivales y propuestas más íntimas. Por ejemplo, el Azkena de Vitoria, el FIB de Benicàssim, el Grec de Barcelona o la Feria de Palma. También otros más modestos como Viñetas del Atlántico en A Coruña o el festival SIBERIANA, que comienza mañana en Tamurejo (Badajoz), un pueblo de tan solo 199 habitantes en la Siberia extremeña.Seguimos por 'Un tranvía llamado deseo', la adaptación de una de las obras más emblemáticas del siglo XX. Con todos los ingredientes del universo de Tennessee Williams: neurosis, simbolismo y fingimiento. La obra gira en torno a Blanche DuBois (interpretada por Nathalie Poza) y la decadencia del sur estadounidense, el delirio como vía de escape y una constante huida hacia ninguna parte. Estará en el Teatro Español de Madrid hasta el 27 de julio con dirección de David Serrano. Completan el reparto Pablo Derqui, María Vázquez, Jorge Usón (quienes nos visitan); Carmen Barrantes, Rómulo Assereto, Mario Alonso y Carlos Carracedo.Raúl Losánez nos trae la historia menos conocida de G.K. Chesterton: la de dramaturgo. Con motivo del 150 aniversario de su nacimiento se ha estrenado por primera vez en España una de sus comedias, 'Magia'. Además, la editorial Renacimiento ha publicado el volumen 'Teatro completo', que reúne sus cuatro obras para la escena.Terminamos con el Campus de Verano de la Academia de Cine, que celebra su cuarta edición con el objetivo de visibilizar la diversidad e inclusión en la industria audiovisual.

This summer, The Jewish Museum is examining the life and work of a local artist who dared to be different. Ben Shahn was born in present day Lithuania in 1898, but immigrated to Brooklyn as a boy after his father was exiled to Siberia. Shahn began a life of using his art to respond to historical moments with social realism, from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War. Dr. Laura Katzman, professor of art history at James Madison University, and Dr. Stephen Brown, curator at the Jewish Museum discuss, "Ben Shahn, On Nonconformity," on view through October 12.

At the murky depths of the ocean lies a mysterious hole, an enigma in the watery abyss that boggles the minds of scientists. This underwater anomaly, discovered by marine researchers, raises questions about what lurks in the dark, unseen corners of our planet. But that's not the only natural phenomenon that sends shivers down the spine – think of the eerie hum emanating from the Earth itself, a low-frequency vibration that remains a scientific puzzle. From blood rain in India to spontaneous combustion of the methane-filled craters in Siberia, the world is brimming with bizarre and, at times, frightening occurrences that challenge our understanding of nature.

Matt Crawford speaks with author George Zavershinskiy about his book, The Atomic Shepard. Amid Cold War tensions, a gifted nuclear physicist – poised to become the future father of new weapons – shockingly gains religious faith. Seeking to confess this revelation, he enters the priesthood, finding purpose but facing myriad trials. His startling 1970s conversion from secret Soviet weapon scientist to devout priest elicits incomprehension and suspicion on all sides. Colleagues shun him as studies now intermix seminary training with Siberia's nuclear work. His transfer to a lowly role with barred access quashes the prestige of high-stakes research. Friends and family largely abandon the zealous convert, except for his steadfast wife and parents. Ostracized yet undaunted, Father Alexander persists in his ecclesiastical calling even unto Chernobyl's radioactive inferno, ministering to desperate liquidators staring mortality in the face. There, on the fourth block, he was given a nickname – ‘Atomic Shepherd'. Upon returning to Moscow, few of them will reach old age. The ‘Atomic Shepherd' is the last to leave among his spiritual friends – he still has time to complete his confession.

On Sunday, Ukraine launched Operation Spider's Web, a surprise drone attack that went deep inside Russia, reaching as far as Siberia for the first time.Ukraine says 117 drones were smuggled into Russia, hidden in the roofs of wooden sheds and later loaded onto the backs of trucks then launched remotely. The result was an enormous blow to Russia's strategic bomber fleet.Cheaper than traditional weapons and commercially available, drones have become increasingly important to both sides of the Ukraine-Russia war and in conflicts around the world.Josh Schwartz, an assistant professor of international relations at Carnegie Mellon University, joins the show to explain how they are transforming modern warfare.  For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The big news recently was Ukraine's massive assault of killer drones that attacked Russian airfields housing Russia's nuclear bomber fleet in Siberia and several other locations deep within the country's heartland. This appears to be a covert message from Ukrainian President Zelensky by aggravating Vladimir Putin into a nuclear stance. Could it also be part of a war theater to set up a false flag attack, where President Trump would have no other choice but to be ready for a limited nuclear incursion?

In 1908, something tore through the skies over Siberia and exploded with the force of a thousand Hiroshima bombs. Trees were flattened across 800 square miles, yet no impact crater was ever found. What caused the Tunguska Event? A meteor? A comet? Something stranger? In this episode, we analyze the science and the some of the wild theories behind the largest cosmic explosion in recorded history, and explore other mysterious blasts from history.  Theme Music by Matt Glass https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Support the Show! astudyofstrange.substack.com/ Website: www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com! ©2025 Convergent Content, LLC

En 1908, una explosión masiva en Siberia arrasó con miles de kilómetros cuadrados de bosque. El fenómeno, sin un cráter de impacto evidente, ha desatado teorías que van desde lo cósmico hasta lo inexplicable. Testimonios y estudios científicos aún intentan descifrar la causa de este devastador suceso. Y aunque hay una teoría establecida, el evento de Tunguska continúa siendo uno de los mayores misterios de la ciencia moderna.

Marat Gabidullin, born in Siberia and raised in Uzbekistan, served in Soviet airborne forces until 1994, then spent three years in prison for shooting a crime boss. After security work in Russia, he joined the Wagner Group in 2015, rose to lead a reconnaissance company, and was badly wounded near Palmyra in 2016. He later advised the ISIS Hunters Battalion and fought at Khasham, but quit Wagner in 2019, briefly ran a Redut detachment in Syria, and left disillusioned. Gabidullin's 2022 memoir denounced Wagner and Russia's invasion of Ukraine; he now lives in France. Journalist and researcher John Lechner reports from conflict zones and specializes in Russian PMCs. His book Death Is Our Business (Bloomsbury, 2025) charts the rise of Wagner, following earlier work such as Beginner's Chechen and upcoming Circassian and Sango language texts. A former policy analyst for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and an emerging-markets banker at Deutsche Bank and Lazard, Lechner holds degrees from Harvard (Slavic Languages) and Georgetown (MSFS). Fluent in five languages and conversant in several others, he is a recognized expert on Russian foreign policy and has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Foreign Policy. He lives in Washington, DC.
