Scientists are working on some amazing projects to bring extinct animals back to life by 2028! The woolly mammoth, a giant furry elephant-like creature that roamed the Ice Age, is one of the top candidates. Using DNA from frozen mammoths and mixing it with modern elephant DNA, researchers hope to recreate a living version of this long-lost species. They're also trying to bring back the Tasmanian tiger, a wolf-like marsupial that disappeared in the 1930s. These "de-extinction" projects could help restore ecosystems and teach us more about conservation, though some people worry about the risks of playing with nature. If successful, these animals might walk the Earth again in just a few years!

How do you track the invisible spread of disease or predict the risks of invasive species? In this episode, we speak with ecological modeller, Nick Beeton, who uses maths, stats and a whole lot of code to make sense of complex environmental challenges. Nick shares his journey from growing up in Tasmania to working at CSIRO, where his projects have included modelling for wildlife disease like Devil Facial Tumor Disease on Tasmanian devils to genetically engineered mosquitoes for malaria prevention.

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. This week we have special guest Clarke Whitehead, co-host of the fantastic Homo Superior podcast whose parents had the good sense to birth him on the date of the release of Kitty's Fairy Tale. Yep, what better bedtime story for a terrified 9 year-old to receive than to hear about how Dark Phoenix ate a sun and the adults around her were powerless to stop her? Also in Kitty's Fairytale: Clarke is basically Sage Our brand new segment: "Bro, why would you even say that?" Clarke's original creation, Jumbles The X-plane is jerk dragon Wolverine is the best there is at what he does and he doesn't like feeling silly Kitty brags about wet dreams to her teammates horny Bamfs All this plus Wolverine as the Tasmanian devil. Unlike Illyana, you will not be put to sleep with this week's episode. What does any of it mean for Clarke's future? Tune in to find out! Clarke Whitehead grew up right across the river from Washington DC, absorbing politics and history like a sponge. He is a theatre teacher and dramaturg, having studied in London and Galway, Ireland. He has a voracious appetite for entertainment from Asian reality dating shows, European Cold War dramas, and Anglophone Soap Operas to Turner Classic Movies, Sims Twitch Streams, and – obviously - X-Men comics. When Homo Superior was in it's planning stages, Clarke was to feature in the weekly segment “Clarke's Corner,” where he would spill his unorthodox or unpopular takes in an Andy Rooney style of off-kilter ranting. As the podcast's resident character historian, he keeps everyone updated on what Catseye has been up to.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, multi-award-winning journalist and author Kate Legge chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about her choices while crafting Kindred: A Cradle Mountain Love Story. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The remarkable true love story of Gustav Weindorfer (an Austrian immigrant) and Kate Cowle (a trailblazing Tasmanian mountaineer), and how their shared passion for Cradle Mountain ignited one of Australia's earliest conservation movements. How Legge braided biography, nature writing and love story to seamlessly intertwine Gustav and Kate's romance with their love of Tasmania's wilderness, making the landscape a vivid character in the narrative. How Kindred is structured, with each chapter covering a stage of Kate and Gustav's journey. The novelistic storytelling techniques Legge used to bring history alive. Kate Legge's reflections on humanity's relationship with nature while crafting Kindred. The resonant parallels between the Weindorfers' era and today, echoing contemporary themes of sustainability, women's agency and equality. A moving epilogue to their story: in 2024, Kate's ashes were finally laid to rest beside Gustav's in Cradle Valley, reuniting them at last and underscoring the enduring legacy of their love and vision.

Let's talk about some fascinating extinct animals and their last recorded sightings. The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, roamed the Maghreb but was hunted to near extinction, with the last wild sighting in 1956 and about 80-100 still in captivity. The dodo, a flightless bird from Mauritius, disappeared rapidly due to invasive species and habitat destruction, with its last confirmed sighting in 1662. Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741 and hunted to extinction within just 27 years, leaving only bones and fossils as evidence. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was last confirmed in the wild in 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo.

In this SAFE SPACE episode, Jess sits down with Steph Trethewey to explore what it’s really like to be a rural mum, isolated, without support, and raising a newborn in the middle of nowhere. Former TV journalist Steph left her high-profile career behind to raise a family on a remote Tasmanian farm, but what followed was a brutal mental health spiral into postnatal depression. Cut off from her community, career, and sense of identity, she found herself deeply unravelling, an experience shared by many rural mothers across Australia. In this powerful conversation, Steph shares the unseen toll of rural motherhood, including staggering statistics: over 70% of rural mums say isolation is the hardest part of parenting, and half don’t have access to a mother’s group. This is a must-hear episode about resilience, breaking down, and the strength it takes to ask for help. Is there somebody you'd like to share this episode with? Just tap the 3 dots above ⬆︎ and pass it on LINKS: Out of Steph’s darkness came Motherland, a community for bush mums that has became a lifeline for rural women across Australia.

Join me on the second segment of my ecotourism trip to Tasmania, Australia (my unscientific, amateur, American, vegan, wombat-obsessed perspective) with all my own audio recordings from my June 2025 trip. This 58-minute (part 2) segment of the trip takes you along with me to my favorite part -- Maria Island National Park and its wombats, kangaroos and wallabies, stingrays, and ruby red anemones, and the culling issue of marsupial "overpopulation" -- through to Port Arthur Historic Convict Site, then on to the city of Hobart, with insights from my Conference on Communication and Environment #COCE2025 (at Univ of Tasmania), including compelling audio clips from Tassie Green Party pioneers who spoke to us -- Bob Brown and Christine Milne. As retired Members of Parliament, and forest/river and gender activists, Christine and Bob have refreshingly candid political advice for activists that also gives listeners insights into current Australian politics. Plus you get to hear their cool Aussie accents (much better than my one attempt early on to do an Aussie accent). "Bad Weather" pronounced "Beed Weeth-uh." (side note: I loved the cool weather there in their winter and the sunny days on the coast). If you like my ecotourist ramblings and low-tech audio, make sure you've listened to Tassie podcast part 1 in the previous podcast posting. And see photos and videos from my trip at https://www.facebook.com/InTunetoNature  Idea: You can do a drinking game every time I talk about wombat poop, the ferry, and how adorable any marsupial is. Note: All the animal audio and photos here are of free-living/wild animals (no one was captive in a zoo or sanctuary), which did limit the number of other animal species I interacted with (no Tasmanian Devils or platypuses this time), but I felt it was a more natural and respectful way to interact (it was the animal individual's choice to get near me or allow me nearer to them). And I had an amazing time, and was elated for every wild animal I saw (like fairy wrens or swamp hens at outdoor bistro tables eating my chia pudding cup). As part of me compensating for the greenhouse gas emitted from my international trip, I made some donations to the Tasmanian Land Conservancy and the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania and the Friends of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

I'm so excited to share my three-week ecotourism trip through Tasmania, Australia. This 50-minute podcast is the first of a multi-part podcast series I created from the audio that I took along my June 2025 trip (and you can pair that with the gorgeous photos I posted on https://www.facebook.com/InTunetoNature ) to get a feel for this extraordinary place, and its animals, like wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, seals, whales, sheep, cows, and birds like cockatoos, forest ravens, magpies, wrens, and kookaburras. Often I'm adding in my own audio commentary and context as an American traveler and animal and environmental advocate, but other times I'm just quietly recording the voices and sounds around me, particularly the other animals there. Across the full series exploring Tasmania (or lutruwita, as the Aborignal Palawa people have called their homeland for 40,000 years), the itinerary I'll take you on is first a quick visit to Melbourne on the front end of the trip (hello city Cockatoo), and then we spend a week traveling through Northern and Eastern Tasmania, starting at beautiful Dove Lake in Cradle Mountain National Park (where I see my first wombats), through the second largest city, Launceston, and the wine and agricultural region, over to the East Coast to the iconic wineglass bay in Freycinet National Park (this is Part 1). And then in future podcasts, I take the ferry to Maria Island (with so many wild animals, including kangaroos) and Port Arthur historic convict site, then South, over to the largest city, Hobart, for a week for my participation in the Conference on Communication and Environment at Univ of Tasmania, and a post-conference on Deep Ecology with esteemed activist John Seed (and we also get to meet two of their biggest environmental activists who started the Green Party in Australia, Christine Milne and Bob Brown). Then before flying out of Melbourne, on the mainland of Australia, I share my tour of the Great Ocean Road where I got to see my first wild koalas up in the eucalyptus trees, and a kookaburra, black and white magpies, and kangaroos at their gorgeous national parks. Note: all the animal audio and photos here are of wild/free-living animals (no one was captive in a zoo or sanctuary), which did limit the number of other animal species I interacted with (no Tasmanian Devils or platypuses this time), but I felt it was a more natural and respectful way to interact (it was the animal individual's choice to get near me or allow me nearer to them). And I had an amazing time, and was elated for every wild animal I saw (even wrens or swamp hens at outdoor bistro tables), plus I enjoyed the human Aussies I met as well. Love their accents!

On Flinders Island in Bass Strait sits a little-known place, significant to not only Tasmanian and Australian history ... but global history. It's known as Wybalenna and it's a place of deep sorrow for the Aboriginal community. But in more recent years an effort has been underway to make it a more comfortable place for the Aboriginal community to spend time for healing and truth-telling.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, the acclaimed historians Dr Henry Reynolds and Dr Nicholas Clements chat with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about their choices while crafting Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero, the biography of the courageous Indigenous warrior, Tongerlongeter. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Tongerlongeter's story, like many Indigenous Australian narratives, has largely been erased from mainstream history Why sharing Tongerlongeter's story is crucial and so relevant today Why Henry Reynolds and Nicholas Clements reframed early 19th-century Tasmanian history through a biographical lens Henry and Nicholas's research strategy given that few archival records exist of Indigenous peoples' lives in 19th-century Tasmania How Henry and Nicholas ensured Tongerlongeter's voice and agency were central to the narrative The literary devices Henry and Nicholas employed to craft gripping narrative and create a graphic sense of place How Tongerlongeter challenged traditional narratives of Tasmanian Indigenous history Why deeply researched, revisionist accounts of a life and events are so vital in authentically portraying our nation's history and the individuals who created that history

Balancing intense work demands with family harmony takes real intention. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Nicola Mason shares that The E-Myth was one of the first business books that truly helped her, alongside Brene Brown's work on vulnerability and leadership, and she recently found Hanging by a Thread by Erin Dearing particularly relevant. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Nicola Mason, some of the best resources to help grow a small business include the Grow a Small Business Podcast, Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, and anything by Brene Brown. She finds these not only practical but also inspiring for both business strategy and personal development. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business?
