Everyone thought ghosts lived in the basement of Stockton, California's old Daguhoy Lodge. So, nobody went down there. But when one man refused to be spooked, he made a discovery that would bring the ghosts back to life. In this episode, we explore how an accidental discovery resurrected the stories of a nearly forgotten generation of Filipino immigrants who came to work in the fields. Why did these men leave behind steamer trunks that remained unopened for decades? And what could we learn from the belongings found inside?  We'll unpack the steamer trunks and dust off a fading piece of American history as we dive into the stories of these farmworkers and their surprising sense of fashion. Guests: Sam Vong, Curator of Asian Pacific American History at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American HistoryDillon Delvo, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Little Manila Rising in South Stockton, CaliforniaPhillip Merlo, a historian and educator who serves as the Executive Director of the San Joaquin County Historical Society & Museum

Today, I'm thrilled to connect with Rowan Jacobsen. Rowan writes about science, nature, and the world's lesser-explored corners for publications including Harper's, Outside, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Smithsonian, and The New York Times, among others. He is the author of nine books, has lectured at Harvard and Yale, and has appeared on CBS, NBC, and NPR. In today's conversation, we discuss his unique and fascinating new book, In Defense of Sunlight, which explores the nuances surrounding light exposure. We look at the value of sun exposure and vitamin D, and Rowan explains why light acts as a master regulator in the body and how our modern lifestyles may be disrupting our natural biology more than we realize. We examine the effects of shift work, cortisol rhythm dysregulation, and the minimum effective dose of sunlight intensity and exposure, and Rowan breaks down how UVA and UVB wavelengths impact our physiology. We also cover the importance of nitric oxide production, and Rowan shares recommendations from his work. Stay tuned for an eye-opening conversation on why sunlight may be one of the most overlooked foundations of human health. For those who enjoy reading about science, I highly recommend Rowan's book! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why so many people fear any sun exposure rather than aiming for sensible, moderate exposure How light acts as a master regulator for circadian biology Why does spending most of the day indoors with artificial lighting make it harder to maintain healthy circadian rhythms?

Author and shamanic researcher SunBôw TrueBrother explores whether Sasquatch (aka Bigfoot) are humanity's closest relatives, and what forbidden Grand Canyon tunnels, ancient civilizations, and interdimensional beings may reveal about our forgotten origins in episode 249 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.SunBôw TrueBrother is a French-Canadian author, shamanic practitioner, and founder of SCENIC (Sasquatch Close Encounter Network for Interspecies Communication). After decades studying with indigenous elders across North and South America and Australia, he became known for the internationally translated Sasquatch Message to Humanity series. The books explore Sasquatch, interdimensional communication, indigenous wisdom, human origins, and humanity's relationship with non-human intelligence through teachings attributed to the Sasquatch Elder Kamooh.In this conversation, Faust and SunBôw explore why indigenous oral traditions have long preserved stories of Star People, interspecies communication, and non-human intelligence that challenge conventional ideas about human history. Drawing on the Sasquatch Genome Project, decades of shamanic experience, and teachings attributed to the Sasquatch Elder Kamooh, they explore a possibility most mainstream researchers never seriously consider: that humanity's story may be far older, stranger, and more interconnected than we've been taught. The discussion also ventures into forbidden archaeology, hidden civilizations, and the possibility that consciousness itself plays a larger role in human evolution than modern science is prepared to acknowledge.In this episode:• The Sasquatch Genome Project: The controversial DNA study of Bigfoot that mainstream science refuses to accept.• Forbidden Archaeology & Smithsonian Secrets: Hidden Grand Canyon chambers, Smithsonian involvement, and the century-old mystery that refuses to disappear.• Sipapu & The Place of Emergence: What did Hopi elders say exists beneath one of the most mysterious locations in the American Southwest?• The Ant People & Earth's First Caretakers: Why indigenous traditions continue to speak of a mysterious race beneath the Earth.• Reptilians & Ancient Lineages: Are the reptilians of ancient traditions villains, misunderstood ancestors, or something else entirely?• Telepathy & The Seven Grandfather Teachings: The surprising role Sasquatch play in one indigenous wisdom tradition.• Moon Anomalies & Hidden Structures: Claims of non-human activity and one of the strangest objects in our solar system.• Star People & Human Hybridization: Could humanity's origins be more complex than modern history suggests?• Archons & The Parasite Class: Are humanity's systems broken, or functioning exactly as intended?• The Great Awakening & Human Sovereignty: Caretakers, conquerors, and the growing divide between two very different futures.• Earth's Hidden History: Ancient ruins, lost civilizations, and the possibility that far more of our past remains undiscovered than we've been told.The deeper the conversation goes, the less it becomes a story about Sasquatch — and the more it becomes a question of what humanity may have forgotten about itself.Check out SunBôw's booksThe Sasquatch Message to Humanity: Conversations with Elder Kamooh https://a.co/d/0ehDVsODThe Sasquatch Message to Humanity Book 2: Interdimensional Teachings from our Eldershttps://a.co/d/02nLlPL2The Sasquatch Message to Humanity Book 3: Earth Ambassadors Cooperationhttps://a.co/d/02CdueLVConnect with SunBôw TrueBrotherhttps://scenicsasquatch.com/https://www.facebook.com/scenicsasquatch/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

As America moves toward its 250th anniversary in 2026, many people are thinking again about the country's founding, its documents, its ideals, and the generations who carried the story forward. America250 describes July 4, 2026, as the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the National Archives is preparing its own Freedom 250 commemoration around 250 years of America and the Declaration of Independence. The Smithsonian is also marking the anniversary with programs meant to examine America's past, present, and future. Sources are listed at the end of this article. That makes this a good time to think not only about what we remember, but how we remember it. In travels around the country, it's hard not to notice that some public history has changed. In some towns, monuments have been removed. In others, signs have been replaced, plaques have disappeared, buildings have been renamed, and local displays have been rewritten. Sometimes those changes happen with public debate. Other times, they happen quietly, and only the people who pass through often notice that something is missing. People will disagree about whether each change is good, bad, needed, unfair, overdue, or unnecessary. That is part of living in a country with a long and complicated past. But one thing remains true no matter where someone stands on those debates. Removing a marker does not remove the history. A sign may come down. A statue may be moved. A display may be changed. A building may get a new name. Yet the event still happened. The person still lived. The community still existed. The letters were still written. The court files were still recorded. The newspapers still printed the story. The land records still show the owners. The pension files still tell of military service. The church registers still name the baptisms, marriages, and burials. The census still places families in a household, on a road, in a town, in a year. Public memory can change, but the past does not vanish because the public display changes. That is why America's 250th anniversary should send us back to the sources.

Route 66, known as “America's Main Street” is not the longest or most-travelled American highway. Fully paved in the 1930s, it became a Depression-era migration route for poor farming families fleeing the Dust Bowl for a new start in California. It's been featured in popular media for decades. Kathleen Franz, lead curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, unpacks more of the road's history.And, the 1973 album “A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America” was one of the first recognized musical albums expressing Asian American identity. It's often considered a blend of political statements within a collective art project. Sojin Kim, curator of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, details the album's legacy.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. has faced unprecedented scrutiny and government interference since President Trump came to power. Now, its long cherished plans for a Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on the National Mall in D.C. have been dealt a blow because the US House of Representatives has struck down a bill to build the museum. Ben Luke talks to Elena Goukassian, The Art Newspaper's senior editor of museums and heritage in New York, about the partisan rift that led to failure of the bill, as well as other developments relating to the Smithsonian. As part of London Gallery Weekend, which begins on 5 June, the British artist Oliver Beer will show new paintings and related sound and video works in an exhibition, The Sky in the Cave, at Thaddaeus Ropac.

Beyond the Lean Startup: Eric Ries on Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Ones Stay Great,

“I took it for granted that we were trying to make the world a better place. But I think in retrospect that was naïve. What kind of change? For whom? We kind of forgot to specify what the purpose of all this disruption was.” — Eric Ries In 2011, Eric Ries published The Lean Startup, a book that reflected the optimistic zeitgeist about disruptive Silicon Valley companies. Fifteen years later, in Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great, Ries reflects today's totally different zeitgeist about the value of companies inside and outside Silicon Valley. Back in 2011, everybody loved tech. Ries, creator of the Lean Startup method and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, admits he was naïve in his positive view of disruptive corporations. In Incorruptible, Ries argues that corporate corruption is structural, rather than a problem of bad actors. As organisations grow (ie: become more disruptive), the systems that govern them — ownership, incentives, charters, accountability — quietly reshape behaviour. Success itself becomes a form of financial gravity, diverting companies away from their original purpose. Ries proposes that we design organisations to be incorruptible from the beginning. It's the Patagonia model. When the outdoor clothing company almost went bankrupt in the 1990s, their bank agreed to restructure their loans if they would suspend their charitable donations for a couple of years. No deal, the CEO said. The bank blinked and Patagonia remained Patagonia. Now, Ries argues, every corporation should try to emulate Patagonia and become the incorruptible corporation. We must all join Eric Ries in getting beyond the lean startup. Five Takeaways •       Corporate Corruption Is Structural, Not Ethical: For decades, we've explained corporate failures as problems of bad actors, moral weakness, or isolated scandals. Ries' argument: that story doesn't match reality. Again and again, companies founded with strong ideals drift toward short-term thinking, extractive behaviour, and mission abandonment — often despite the best intentions of people inside them. The failure is structural. As organisations grow, the systems that govern them — ownership structures, incentives, charters — quietly reshape behaviour. Success becomes financial gravity, bending companies away from their purpose. •       The Patagonia Model: Organisational Strength, Not Moral Righteousness: When Patagonia nearly went bankrupt in the 1990s due to outsourcing to poor-quality foreign factories, their lead lender agreed to restructure the loans on one condition: suspend charitable donations during the restructuring. Reasonable request — any other company would have said yes. Patagonia said no. The bank blinked. Ries' reading: this is not moral righteousness. It is organisational strength. The ability to resist external pressure and stay true to a core principle. That is what makes a company not just good but great. Also: Black Wednesday, the day of their layoffs, is still referred to by name inside the company. •       The Wrong Distinction: For-Profit vs Non-Profit: Ries argues that the distinction between for-profit and non-profit is fundamentally a tax code distinction that has come to define how we think about organisations in ways that are misleading and harmful. He proposes a reframe: if profit means the maximisation of human flourishing, then the Smithsonian is very for-profit and Philip Morris is very non-profit. This reframe changes what we should demand of governance, of accountability, of what organisations are for. It is simultaneously an economic and a political argument. •       Civic Infrastructure: The Political Dimension: Ries' book ends with a chapter on what he calls civic infrastructure — the kinds of organisations that set the rules of the road for others. He argues that the principles of incorruptible design apply not just to companies but to the institutions of governance. The darkness of the current political moment is, for him, partly a failure of organisational design. When this darkness passes, he argues, the generation that follows will have to rebuild civic infrastructure in the way the generation that survived the Depression built the institutions that governed the second half of the twentieth century. •       The Anakin/Padamé Problem: Ries' Mea Culpa: Ries opens with a reference to the famous internet meme — Anakin says he's going to change the world, and Padamé asks: for the better? He grins mischievously. Ries used to find it funny. Then it stopped being funny. When he wrote The Lean Startup, he assumed the purpose of disruption was to make the world a better place. He took it for granted. He now thinks that was naïve. The lesson: you have to specify the purpose. What kind of change? For whom? That is the question that Incorruptible is trying to answer. About the Guest Eric Ries is the creator of the Lean Startup method and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup, The Leader's Guide, and The Startup Way. As a founder, he has put his ideas into practice with the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE), Answer.AI, Virgil, and IMVU. He is the author of Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great (Authors Equity/Simon & Schuster, May 26, 2026). He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. References: •       Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great by Eric Ries (Authors Equity, May 26, 2026). •       The Lean Startup by Eric Ries (Crown Business, 2011). •       The Startup Way by Eric Ries (Currency, 2017). •       More information and bonus materials at incorruptible.co. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

They refused to shop at businesses on Dryades Street that took Black dollars but refused to hire Black workers.This story from the local Civil Rights Movement is recounted as part of the Historic New Orleans Collection exhibition, “The Trail They Blazed.” Exhibit curator Eric Seiferth joins us for more.In honor of America's 250th birthday, the Smithsonian is collaborating with 40 festivals across the country between March and November that highlight different U.S. subcultures on how they celebrate community, cultural exchange and civic engagement.One of the featured festivals will be Louisiana's very own Festivals Acadiens et Créoles, which returns this October 9-11. To tell us more about the Smithsonian's involvement is Cajun folklorist and founder of Festival Acadiens, Barry Ancelet, and Pat Mould, famed Cajun and Creole chef and the vice president of programming for the festival.Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Your favorite museum might be built on stolen goods. Nicole Dowd works inside the Smithsonian,  and she's not here to defend it. Saadia Khan sits down with Nicole to break it all down.  As Head of Public Programs at the National Museum of Asian Art, she's sitting with the uncomfortable truth: Western museums have a colonial problem, and a fresh coat of "inclusivity" paint won't fix it. We get into repatriation, who really has access to art, the model minority myth, and what it means to be Korean, adopted, and suddenly surrounded by Korean treasures every day at work.

Last March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”It mandated a shift in how American history is portrayed in federal institutions, with a goal of eliminating “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology.”Instead, according to the executive order, the focus should be on a more “patriotic” narrative. And to ensure that happens, funding was cut for anything that “degrades shared American values” or “divides Americans by race.”This order applied largely to federal institutions, like the Smithsonian museums and the National Parks System.But here in Minnesota, the funding restrictions and shifts in ideology were felt immediately. History museum directors and curators — the people who collect and keep Minnesota history — were alarmed at what might be coming their way.So what happened? Were their fears realized?North Star Journey Live went to Mankato to find out. At the annual conference for the Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums, Angela Davis hosted a live discussion to talk about the ramifications of the federal order in Minnesota.

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Jacobsen upends everything you thought you knew about sun exposure, shedding light on a quiet revolution that is transforming our understanding of sunlight's effects on human health. Outlining the growing case for the importance of modest sun exposure for our health and well-being, citing up-to-date studies on the effects of sunlight on human health, Jacobsen presents a much-needed, lucid assessment of not only what the sun can do for us, but how a lack of sun could actively be harming us. https://www.rowanjacobsen.com/ In Defense of Sunlight book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/In-Defense-of-Sunlight/Rowan-Jacobsen/9781668092163 Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

The chaos level on today's episode somehow exceeded “Florida news headline” and entered full-blown county fair fever dream territory. The gang kicks things off by honoring local legend Steve Lewandowski with the first-ever Swamp Justice Medal of Freedom after his heroic moment at a Cardinals game. It's heartfelt, inspiring… and immediately derailed by improvised ceremonial music, fake government awards, and discussions about “elite Midwestern restraint.” Honestly? The Smithsonian should already be calling.Then things take a sharp left turn directly into the corn dog dimension when Rafe discovers that Reba McEntire is engaged — and absolutely does not take the news well. What follows is one of the most unhinged love monologues in recent show history involving disguises, wedding sabotage, miniature donkeys, emotional support corn dogs, and a Tennessee ranch showdown that somehow feels both illegal and deeply patriotic. Rex Lynn, if you're listening… maybe hire security.But wait. The internet got weird again. The crew dives headfirst into the disturbing trend of “ball maxing,” where dudes are apparently inflating themselves like carnival prizes in pursuit of alpha status. If you've ever wanted to hear grown adults discuss saline-filled testicles with the seriousness of a congressional hearing, congratulations: this funny podcast has arrived precisely for you.And because the universe clearly wasn't finished humiliating humanity, the gang uncovers reports of “Ozempic penis,” inspiring an all-time fake 1970s TV theme song for Inner Shaft — the private investigator whose confidence grew three inches overnight. There are disco vocals. There are inappropriate metaphors. There's at least one sentence that should probably be studied by scientists.Also included in today's disaster:Pointfest hype and backstage chaosFake medals for journalistic integrityCorn dog-based relationship counselingReba fan-fiction nobody asked forMen voluntarily becoming water balloonsThe greatest cassette tape “discovery” in show historyA level of stupidity that should qualify for federal fundingIf you love sarcastic humor, weird news, ridiculous commentary, celebrity chaos, and a morning show that routinely derails itself before 8am, congratulations — this is your new emotional support broadcast.

There is a word for arranging letters in the right order to give them meaning. It is called spelling. There is a word for stitching those letters together into one flowing line. It is called cursive. A spell. A curse. And before tonight is over, you will understand why the man we are about to introduce believes the architecture of modern language, modern religion, and modern power is a deliberate piece of magic cast at the human soul. Kristan T. Harris was raised in an Assemblies of God household in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A Christian punk rocker who once wanted to be a youth pastor. He walked away from the certainties of his childhood and spent the next 20 years asking the question they begged him not to ask. What if the version of history we were handed at the door was never the real one. Tonight he walks us through it. The cult of Mystery Babylon and the king Nimrod whose mother wife Semiramis still weeps for Tammuz under every Christmas tree. The synagogue of Satan that, in his words, runs the world from above every flag. The Maxwell witness testimonies he pulled out of a sealed courtroom and put into the public record. The MK Ultra survivors he has interviewed by name. The 300 FBI files he personally unsealed on the killing of William Cooper. CERN. Charlie Kirk. Clonaid and Eve, the first human clone, born in 2001. The data centers rising right now on the lakes of Wisconsin to feed a machine you will never see. And then he walks us into the bones. Over a thousand newspaper accounts of giant human skeletons pulled out of American soil, by his own hands, from the Library of Congress archive. The Smithsonian named again and again as the recipient of the remains. And the remains, every single time, vanishing into a silence no one has ever broken. Harris is the co-founder and host of The Rundown Live. Barry Cooper called him the king of underground journalism. His raw footage from Kenosha helped exonerate Kyle Rittenhouse. And when he is asked tonight for the single sentence that defines his entire career, he looks straight into the camera and says question everything, listen to everyone, and do not believe unless you can prove it with your own two hands.

In the premiere episode of season five of Our Seven Neighbors: Religion and Resistance in America, host Reza Aslan joins historian and Smithsonian curator Peter Manseau for a sweeping conversation about the real history of religious freedom in the United States. Together, they dismantle the comforting myth that America was founded as a uniformly Christian nation devoted to liberty for all, revealing instead a far more contested and complicated story. From Puritan theocracy and the execution of Quakers to the struggles of Jews, Muslims, Native peoples, and enslaved Africans for recognition and belonging, the episode explores how pluralism in America was not gifted from above, but forged through centuries of conflict, resistance, and negotiation. Drawing on Manseau's landmark work One Nation, Under Gods, the discussion reframes American religious history as a living, unfinished struggle over who counts, whose beliefs matter, and what freedom truly means in a diverse democracy. Aslan and Manseau examine the enduring power of myths like the “city on a hill,” the dangers of Christian nationalism, and the ongoing fight to widen the circle of belonging in American life. At a moment when religious diversity and democratic pluralism are once again under pressure, this episode offers a powerful reminder that the American experiment has always depended on people willing to challenge exclusion and insist that the story is bigger than any one faith, nation, or identity.

Since the release of generative A.I., questions have been raised about how it would change our lives and jobs. Now, many software developers who were early adopters of the technology have outsourced so many tasks that they barely program at all. Clive Thompson, who writes about technology and science, interviewed about 75 software developers at major tech companies, small businesses and start-ups. He explains what it looks like when programmers invite A.I. to help them do their jobs.
