T.A. Barron—known as Tom to his friends—is a renowned author, a lifelong conservationist, and someone whose work sits at the intersection of two subjects that are near and dear to my heart: books and the natural world. Tom has written more than 30 books, including the internationally bestselling Merlin Saga, and his newest book, "Naming Nature: A Cabinet of Natural Curiosities for Word Lovers," gave us the perfect excuse to finally sit down together. It's a beautiful, fascinating exploration of the stories behind the names we give to plants, animals, and other parts of the natural world, and I think it's a must-read for anyone who loves nature and loves words—which probably describes most people listening to this podcast. Tom is also a deeply committed conservationist who has spent decades supporting and leading conservation efforts, so as you can imagine, we had plenty to talk about. Tom grew up first in New England and then on a ranch north of Colorado Springs, where watching the surrounding landscape disappear to development helped shape his conservation ethic at an early age. After Princeton and a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford, he initially pursued a career in business in New York City, while waking up at four or four-thirty every morning to write before work. Eventually he realized that those early-morning hours were the happiest part of his day, so despite having already endured plenty of rejection as a young writer, he left a successful business career, moved back to Colorado, and gave writing another shot. More than 30 books later, I think it's safe to say that gamble worked out. Along the way, conservation has remained a central part of his life, including his longtime involvement with The Wilderness Society and many other conservation organizations and initiatives. Tom and I talked about his adventurous parents, his childhood in Colorado, his spectacular early failures as a writer, and the decision to walk away from a successful career to pursue the work that made him feel most alive. We talked about mortality and the importance of using our limited time well; managing the constant barrage of news and social media; optimism, wonder, and our shared love of the natural world; and how Tom became so deeply involved in conservation. And, of course, we dug into "Naming Nature" and some of the wonderfully strange stories behind names like hellbender, sarcastic fringehead, narwhal, praying mantis, elephant, and even the Yeti. We also talked about why names matter, how paying closer attention can lead to caring, and how caring can ultimately lead to conservation. This was a fun, wide-ranging conversation with a thoughtful and endlessly curious guy, and I think you'll really enjoy it. --- T.A.

What does the Sun mean to us, and why have humans looked to it for so much of our history?In this episode, we explore the Sun through two very different lenses: its ancient role as the divine sovereign in Hellenistic astrology, and its extraordinary journey as a star. We trace the symbolism of solar rulership, explore how different cultures have imagined and understood the Sun, and consider why this familiar light at the center of our sky has inspired such profound ideas about life, consciousness, power, and time.What we cover this week:The Solar Sovereign: The Sun's role in Hellenistic astrology, including rulership, dignity, vitality, and the symbolism of the king or sovereign.The Ever-Changing Sun: How human societies and cultures have continually reimagined the meaning of our star, from divine ruler to source of life and consciousness.The Stellar Journey: The remarkable life cycle of the Sun, from its present life as a yellow dwarf through its distant future, and what its journey can teach us about the vastness and impermanence of the cosmos.Thanks for joining me for the new Unclouded Eye.

LOSING THE WILL TO LIVE! 2 DAYS OF BURNHAM — HE'S DOING MY HEAD IN!  #AndyBurnham #PMQs #Burnham #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #Labour #SmallBoats #LawAndOrder #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  FOR GOD'S SAKE, ANDY — IS THIS IT?! Two days of Andy Burnham in the Commons and I'm already losing the will to live! Britain needs BIG answers.  We're staring at serious economic problems, immigration remains one of the biggest issues in the country, public services are creaking and we've seen shocking disorder on our streets. And what does our new political messiah appear to be offering us? CHEAPER BUS FARES! Give me strength!  He talks about cutting VAT on electricity. He talks about bringing utilities back under public control. He wants more devolution. More power for councils. More money for some train drivers. Lovely! BUT WHO THE HELL IS PAYING FOR ALL OF THIS?! That's the bit I want to hear, Andy. You want utilities back under public control? Fine. HOW MUCH? WHERE'S THE MONEY? You want to give councils even more power? Have you seen the state of some of them?! Birmingham struggled to EMPTY THE BINS! Across Britain we've got roads that resemble obstacle courses because councils can't even FIX THE POTHOLES! And these are the people we're supposed to give MORE power to?! Meanwhile, what about the questions millions of people actually want answered? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT ILLEGAL MIGRATION? What are you going to do about lawlessness and serious disorder in our towns and cities? Where's the plan to get the economy moving? Where's the serious plan for growth? Where's the vision? Where's the LEADERSHIP?! I don't want another TikTok politician. I don't want another bloke telling me there's jam tomorrow while asking me to admire the label on the jar today. Britain doesn't need another PR operation. It needs somebody prepared to make difficult decisions and tell us exactly how they're going to pay for them.]  Maybe I've finally worked out Andy's masterplan. BORE US TO DEATH! Break our spirit. Wear us down. Keep talking until the entire country screams: ALL RIGHT, ANDY — WE SURRENDER! Because after only TWO DAYS, mate, you're doing a bloody good job of it!  And then there's the fundamental problem hanging over the whole thing: NO MANDATE. NO PLAN. NO VISION. NO CLUE. And surrounded by a Cabinet that has hardly set my pulse racing. Is THIS really the great new beginning we were promised? Because right now it looks suspiciously like the same old political circus — just with a different ringmaster.  Am I being too harsh after only two days? Or are YOU already asking the same question as me: IS THIS REALLY IT?! Join me LIVE AT SIX on Jon Gaunt TV, because I've got plenty to say — and I want to hear what YOU think. GOD HELP BRITAIN!

GM L87 engine failures, California's INSANE tire regulations, the cheapest Toyota Century in the country, and more on this edition of the Automotive ADHD Show. Matt examines the growing controversy surrounding General Motors' 6.2-liter L87 V8, from bearing and machining concerns to reports of engines failing while Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles are in motion. How can the company behind the small-block Chevy still be facing catastrophic V8 failures after 70 years of building them? California also plans to introduce the nation's first replacement-tire efficiency standards. Supporters promise better fuel economy, but Matt explains why the rules could reduce tire durability, limit some enthusiast options, and cost drivers more than politicians suggest. Plus: Matt reveals his plan to transform a low-mileage 1990 Toyota Century with crazy luxury features, and possible Yakuza history into a mobile podcast studio.

Any military lawyers in the house? A gay man and his boyfriend, both serving active duty, want to open their relationship. But infidelity is forbidden by military law. How risky would this be? Now that chastity play its all the rage, should we assume that a key necklace means something deeply kinky? And if so, should we knowingly wink when we see one? Sex/science nerds rejoice! Our Magnum guest this week is Distinguished Research Professor Dr. Lixing Sun, who wrote On the Origin of Sex. Dan and Dr. Sun discuss the deep biological underpinnings of sex: when and why did pleasure emerge in reproduction? Why hasn't homosexuality been selected against? And why don't we just reproduce like sponges? And, a woman no longer drinks, but her boyfriend still does. When he comes home reeking of beer and cigarettes, she feels repulsed by him.

Marlon and Jake discuss the books they'd banish from school reading lists—not ban but give a well-earned time out. They consider why the Bible shouldn't make the cut, why mythology deserves to expand beyond the Greeks and Romans, and what kinds of books actually resonate with high school readers. Plus: why being a great book doesn't necessarily make something a great book to teach—and whether length should matter.

What happens when two veteran comedy writers start questioning everything they were taught about writing? Jay sits down with Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, the longtime writing partners behind shows including 3rd Rock from the Sun, In Living Color, Grounded for Life, and The Neighborhood, for a funny and candid conversation about what makes comedy work — and why some of the oldest writing advice might be worth ignoring. They talk about the decline of the traditional sitcom, why younger audiences will binge hundreds of old episodes but struggle to connect with new comedies, surviving the chaos of In Living Color, taking over The Neighborhood, navigating changing writers' rooms, working with stars like Cedric the Entertainer and John Lithgow, and the strange pressure on writers to constantly “write their truth.” After decades of writing together, Bill and Mike also explain how their creative partnership survived every argument imaginable — and why sometimes the best thing a writer can do is stop writing what they know. It's a conversation about comedy, friendship, changing television, and figuring out how to stay funny when the business around you keeps changing.

After spending eight years in the sign Aries, on June 19 Chiron finally dipped its toes into Taurus – but it will only be there for about twelve weeks before returning to Aries on September 17. We'll have to wait until mid-April 2027 before Chiron settles in for its seven year passage through the sign of the Bull. It first touches Gemini in July 2033, but soon returns to Taurus, and only arrives solidly in Gemini on May 5, 2034.  Chiron's journeys through Aries and Taurus are long ones, especially when we remember that its total orbit only takes a little under fifty-one years. Divide that number by twelve, and you get an average duration of its passage though each sign of about four years. One key to understanding why it spends so much time in Aries and Taurus is to remember that this planetoid's orbit is highly elliptical. Its motion is slowest when it's in Aries. By the time it gets into Libra, it's halfway around the zodiac. That puts it a lot closer to the Sun and the increased gravitational pull zooms it along a lot more quickly.  There's a second complicating factor: compared to the “real” planets, Chiron's mass is low and so it gets kicked around a lot by their gravity. That's why when you Google “Chiron's orbital period,” you don't get the kind of precision we're accustomed to seeing with, for example, Mars (686.98 earth days.) Some sources give Chiron an orbital period of 50.7 years, while others say 50.45 years. That's because of gravitational interference, mostly by massive Jupiter and Saturn. Sometimes Chiron is closer to them and it's pulled harder, other times it's further away and they're less of an influence, so it all becomes a tangle of ever-changing variables. One practical takeaway is that while we take Chiron seriously, we should never confuse it with the major planets. Chiron would fit between New York and Boston or just about cover the Shanghai-Hangzhou metroplex in China. Even relatively tiny Pluto – the smallest of the real astrological planets – is about twelve times Chiron's diameter. So, cutting to the heart of the matter, what can we expect from Chiron's passage through Taurus?

Sun. August 30, 2026 "The Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time" -Deacon Kevin Welch

Doug Bytes synthesizes insights from 200 interviews with scientists, soldiers, and athletes. Modern men lose touch with inner signals due to modern lifestyle shifts. This episode breaks down practical steps to rebuild self-trust and spot daily signs.  Core Concepts 1. Practice inner awareness. Society rewards analytical problem-solving over quiet self-reflection.  2. Distinguish fear from instinct. Fear screams loudly. Intuition communicates quietly and persistently.  3. Change physical inputs. Cleaner food choices help tune internal perception.  4. Test small decisions. Ask your body how choices feel before taking action.  5. Track daily synchronicities. Notice unusual events like repeating natural patterns.  Connect with Doug Beitz: Email: info@dougbeitz.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178

According to The Sun, scientists say that “the average person in the UK now consumes more than eight kilograms of chemical additives every year.” Of course with that being an average figure, it can shoot up even further for those who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods.  If you've ever looked closely at ingredients lists on the packaging of food you buy in your supermarket, you'll have noticed the E numbers by which additives can be recognised. Each category has its assigned E numbers. For example, colours are in the 100s, preservatives in the 200s and antioxidants in the 300s. Aren't additives banned? What are they actually used for? Why do additives have such a bad rap then?

Here’s the shape of September, in one sentence: it’s a month of turning inward while the world asks you to engage outward. There’s a cluster of retrograde planets active pretty much all month — Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are already retrograde, and partway through the month, Uranus joins them. Four planets moving backward, astrologically, at the same time. For an empath, this actually can be a relief, if you let it. So much of what exhausts us is the forward momentum of the world — the constant doing, deciding, producing, responding. A month with this many retrogrades is a month where the cosmic permission slip says: it’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to revisit. It’s okay to not have the answer yet. But — and here’s the nuance — the inner planets, the fast-moving personal ones: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, are all direct and quite active this month. So you’re going to feel this tug-of-war: parts of you wanting to reflect, rest, and go inward, while other parts of your life — conversations, relationships, decisions — are moving forward whether you’re ready or not. If you take one thing from this whole episode, let it be this: you’re allowed to let your inner world move at retrograde speed even while your outer world moves at direct speed!

Join us as we explore the worldwide phenomenon behind the revival of Homer's 3000-year-old story, the kaleidoscopic and hallucinogenic return of Odysseus to Ithaka, the Greek island that has become an icon for home itself. There is the immense beauty of the poem itself and the historical importance of Homer's accomplishment, but what does the story mean to us now, how can it help illuminate the chaos of our lives today? Composed by the Poet Known as Homer, around 650 BC, it was based on a story about the Trojan War that was already hundreds of years old. Since then, the story about the hallucinogenic adventures of Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and wife Penelope have cast a spell over cultures around the world, haunting poets, playwrights and philosophers, and taunting the efforts of archaeologists, linguists and now filmmakers to render it in modern terms. Our conversation will explore the myriad life lessons of Homer's masterpiece that have inspired readers, listeners and now viewers for millennia, with a focus on the central theme of the nostoi, the return stories of ancient Greek soldiers, adventurers, philosophers and scientists coming home, and the wider question of what home meant to the ancients—and what home means to us now, the most rootless people in recorded history. Along the way, we will have an animated exchange about the wide range of translations, from Alexander Pope, T. E. Lawrence, and E. V. Rieu, to Richard Lattimore, Emily Wilson and Daniel Mendelosohn. Finally, we will playfully review the myriad movie versions, from George Melies' four-minute version in 1905, to the 1956 Ulysses with Kirk Douglas, and the freshly minted Odyssey helmed by Christopher Nolan.   Finally, there is the surprising realization that it is five female characters (Penelope, Athena, Calypso, Circe and Nausicaa) who helped guide Odysseus homeward, and the centuries-long influence on art, literature and cinema. Join us for a celebration of the soul-saving power of this ancient Greek tale, which sings of the aftermath of a savage war and the restoration of our hero's home, all the while insisting on need to say “yes” to life.  About the Speaker Phil Cousineau is the author of The Wisdom of the Odyssey and over 40 other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage, and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work.

Today's show is packed! We're talking the death of an icon, Chris Paul's greatest Sun ever, the fastest marathon EVER, and so much more!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sun is kind of a big deal. It is the center of our solar system, around which all other objects revolve, and its heat and light are responsible for the life-supporting conditions here on Earth. This episode, we take a close look at how the Sun actually works and what makes it different from other stars. Then, we track the lifetime of the Sun, exploring how it originally formed, how it has changed over its lifetime, and how it will eventually burn out. In the news: carnivorous plants, ancient burrowers, live birth, and reptile metabolism.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From January, 2026. Today's 2 topics: - New Zealand's 4.5 million people are concentrated in three major population centers which to various degrees suffer from the modern plague of light pollution. However, most of New Zealand's large rural areas and land reserves, covering an area as large as the UK, have unpolluted natural night skies. A completely unique place to experience New Zealand's natural night sky is the Aotea-Great Barrier Island International Dark Sky Sanctuary. It encompasses New Zealand's, 110 square mile, sixth largest island, which is located about 62 miles from central Auckland. It is easily accessible by boat or a short airline flight.   - In less than 24 hours, while observing with the Catalina Sky Survey's 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona, I discovered two 25 foot diameter space rocks that can theoretically pass less than a quarter of the Moon's distance from us. After I posted my discovery observations on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation page one of them received immediate attention, as an incoming object, and was tracked by observers at 14 different observatories around the world. Scientists at the Minor Planet Center used these data to calculate its 926 day orbital path around the Sun, estimate its size, and give it the name 2017 TH5.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

If you look carefully at pictures of Saturn, you’ll probably notice something odd about the planet – it looks mashed down, like a beachball that a child is sitting on. The planet is more than 7,000 miles wider through the equator than the poles – only a bit less than the total diameter of Earth. That makes it the “flattest” planet in the solar system. Saturn is the Sun’s second-largest planet, after Jupiter – more than nine times the size of Earth. But it’s much less dense than any other planet. It’s a big ball of hydrogen and helium – the two lightest elements – wrapped around a messy core of rock and metal. Despite its size, Saturn spins in a hurry – its day is less than half as long as a day on Earth. That high-speed rotation pushes material outward at the equator – giving Saturn that “squashed” appearance. That shape affects the planet’s gravity. Saturn’s poles are much closer to the center of the planet than the equator is. And anything at the equator is being pushed outward by the high-speed rotation. The combination means that you’d weigh about a third more at the poles than at the equator – perhaps making you feel more squashed on this giant but squashed planet. Look for Saturn close to the lower right of the Moon as they climb into good view, in mid-evening. It looks like a bright golden star. Tomorrow: famous women on the planet Venus.

Air Week: August 31-September 6, 2026 Sun Records R&B, Pt. 2 – 1954-55 On Part 2 of “Juke In The Back”‘s 2 part series on Sun Records’ early R&B releases, Matt The Cat spotlights 1954 and ’55. This was the most important year and a half in Sun’s history. In July, 1954, a young former truck driver named Elvis Presley entered 706 Union Avenue in Memphis and laid down a song that would lead to the rock n’ roll explosion of the mid-1950s. Sun founder, the late Sam Phillips recalls that historic recording as Matt The Cat spins classic Sun R&B from the likes of Billy “The Kid” Emerson, Little Milton, James Cotton and Roscoe Gordon. This is the thrilling conclusion to the “Juke In The Back” tribute to the most important and influential label in the history of rock n’ roll. LISTEN BELOW
