Måske er reality-tv om svær kærlighed ikke det værste, der er sket for udviklingen i medierne. I hvert fald udfordrer det lidt den urealistiske Hollywood-version af kærligheden. Parterapeut og sexolog Amanda Lagoni synes, at nye medier og reality-genrer er både bekymrende og spændende – fordi hun både ser fordele og ulemper ved den udvikling, som følger. Vi har taget hul på et kærlighedstema, og vi starter med at blive klogere på, hvad kærlighed i medierne gør ved os. Og hvordan vi kan bruge det til at blive bedre ud i disciplinen: Parforhold. Men først skal du lige en tur med i KLF-studiet, hvor vi slet ikke er færdige med valgkampen. KLF Kirke & Medier vil nemlig tage fat i en større evaluering af mediernes indflydelse på valg. Vi kommer også omkring AI – den kunstige intelligens – der lige nu oversvømmer nettet, og hvorfor den egentlig gør det, mens Meta og Google har fået de første domme for at være afhængighedsskabende og mislede samt skade psyken hos unge mennesker. Medvirkende: KLFs generalsekretær Mikael Arendt Laursen og parterapeut Amanda Lagoni. Vært: Malene Tonnung.

The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) has received confirmation of an anthrax positive in a beef herd in Cassia County.
Writer and ecologist Sophie Strand thinks at a scale that can feel dizzying—in the best way. In a single conversation, she can move from the chemical structure of cells to mushroom spores, from ancient weather gods to mycorrhizal fungi, from Bronze Age collapse to the slow intelligence of soil.In this episode of Wonder Cabinet, we talk with Strand about wonder that doesn't float upward but roots downward—into bodies, ecosystems, decay, and deep time. We begin with her essay “Your Body Is an Ancestor,” published shortly before Halloween and the Day of the Dead, and follow her imagery into our shared prehistoric past. The conversation also explores how Strand's experience of chronic illness reshaped her understanding of nature, selfhood, and health. Rather than seeing the sick body as broken, she turns to ecological metaphors: spider webs, soil structures, caterpillars dissolving inside cocoons. What might it mean to understand ourselves not as machines that fail, but as landscapes that change?Along the way, we talk about fantasy and “romantasy,” Tolkien, Harry Potter, Dramione fan fiction and communal storytelling rituals. This is a conversation about wonder with dirt under its fingernails: embodied, mythic, ecological, and deeply alive to the cycles of death and regeneration that bind us all.---Substack: "Your Body is an Ancestor": https://sophiestrand.substack.com/p/your-body-is-an-ancestorSophie Strand's website: https://sophiestrand.com/You can follow her work on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmogyny/Follow her on Substack: https://substack.com/@sophiestrandOrder her memoir: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sophie-strand/the-body-is-a-doorway-a-memoir/9780762487417/?lens=running-press---Chapters:00:00:00 Meet Sophie Strand00:04:34 Body as Ancestor00:10:08 Roots of Sin00:18:21 Spores and Consciousness00:27:49 Stories We Can't Explain00:35:39 Science as Wonder---If you love Wonder Cabinet, sign up for email updates and never miss an episode. https://wondercabinetproductions.com/

It's been 12 years since social worker Cassie discovered a mysterious mould in her home, invisible to almost everyone except her. Now the fungus has spread - its glowing spores a major global health threat, infecting the brains of those who inhale them. But many refuse to take seriously a menace they cannot see. When spores erupt at a care home in Wales, Cassie's son Bryn and 30 residents are exposed to infection. But how could this have happened when just days earlier the building was declared mould-free by a mycelium-sighted Inspector? For Bryn there is only one explanation: not everyone who claims to see the mould can be trusted. But who is this rogue Inspector and why would they lie? In his search for answers, Bryn's fraught relationship with Cassie will be tested to the limit as they battle to stop the fungus before the looming pandemic can take hold. In Greek mythology, Cassandra was condemned to speak the truth yet never be believed. A story of trust and what happens when we lose it. And of a hidden threat destroying the very thing that makes us powerful. Written and created by Marietta KirkbrideCassie ….. Kate O'Flynn Bryn ….. Ben Skym Pascal …..

If you think buying a brand new home guarantees you'll be free from defects, Brittney's story will completely shatter that assumption, and potentially save you from a nightmare that nearly destroyed her family's health and finances.Today I'm sharing a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation with Brittney, who purchased what she thought was her dream home from a well-known Texas builder in December 2023. Within just 1 month of moving in, she began experiencing terrifying symptoms: gasping for air in her sleep, neurological issues that left her nearly bedridden, and a persistent musty smell that no one else seemed to notice.What followed was a two-and-a-half-year nightmare of fighting for answers while her entire family was slowly poisoned by their own home. After hiring the best mold inspector in Texas, they discovered an astronomical 2 million spore count throughout the house – when even 50,000 would be considered dangerous. The root causes? No vapor barrier wrap, an oversized HVAC system, and construction practices that created the perfect storm for mold growth.Brittany's story exposes the dark reality of new construction defects, builder cover-ups, and the nearly impossible task of getting out of a mortgage on an uninhabitable home. But more importantly, she shares the practical steps she's taking in her new home to prevent this from happening again, and the proactive monitoring systems every homeowner should consider.In today's episode, we're talking about:The shocking construction defects Why builder-hired mold inspectors can't be trusted The financial nightmare of escaping a defective home 5 practical steps you can take in any homeHow to be proactive rather than reactive Connect with me: Instagram

Fans of the game will recognize the iconic space museum flashback teased for next episode. Voice actors from the game are given meaningful roles in the show, showcasing their talent beyond voice work. Quotes: “We're seeing Ellie go into the dark side, accepting it because it's the most effective way to get things done.” “It's nice to see Dina not just as a love interest, but as someone Ellie needs to stay grounded.” “Pedro Pascal is the top A-list actor right now—don't come for him, Rowling.” “Voice actors are actors.
