This might sound corny, but the relationship between maize and humanity is essential. We rely on corn—globally, more maize is grown than wheat or rice—and, in turn, corn is utterly dependent on us, to the extent that it's lost the ability to reproduce without our help. But corn's wild ancestor is such an unappetizing weed that, for decades, archaeologists couldn't believe today's juicy cobs were all descended from it. From this unpromising beginning, we've got a story that involves empires, vampires, and generations of women chained to the (literal) grindstone. Pass the popcorn and settle in as we explore the past, present, and future of corn—and the many delicious ways Mesoamericans have invented to get their daily dose of vitamin T(ortilla). Plus: do blue and yellow corn chips actually taste different? And what does it mean for your relationship status if you can't get a tortilla to puff? Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, we dig into the haunting experiences of two college roommates who moved into a brand-new home, only to find that something sinister had moved in with them. From the feeling of being watched to objects flying across the room and chilling whispers in the dead of night, this is a story that will make you rethink the safety of a newly built house. Join us as we uncover the terrifying details of a subdivision shrouded in fog and mystery, where every corner seemed to hide a secret, and every shadow held a story. Was it a cursed land, or did the spirits simply refuse to leave?

This week, Josh and Nate tackle the misconception that the Demon isn't built for beginners—a belief that emerges from the absence of an introduction to LSAT “theory”. They explain that a bloated curriculum, disconnected from questions, often confuses students and can even reduce scores. The Demon advocates jumping right into questions and letting the test, paired with our explanations, be your teacher. Study with our Free PlanDownload our iOS appWatch Episode 513 on YouTube0:33 – AnnouncementsRegistration deadlines are coming up. You know you're ready to sign up when your practice tests match your goal score. Registration DeadlinesRegister for Ben's Free Class6:07 – Logical Reasoning MindsetNate and Josh explore the mindset required for success in Logical Reasoning, emphasizing that each question has one objectively correct answer. Rather than starting with abstract theory, they advocate an intuitive, hands-on approach: dive into real questions, make mistakes, and learn from them. The Demon is built for beginners. By focusing on solving problems and reviewing mistakes, students can build a strong foundation for sustained success. 18:50 – Candidate Referral ServiceJosh and Nate revisit the candidate referral service and consider whether it's worth signing up. Several Demon team members share how they used the service and received CAS fee waivers to apply early and widely. Still, be cautious—don't let school marketing sway you. Stay skeptical of marketing gimmicks from these schools and be a savvy applicant.

Josh and Nate recognize there is a meaningful career opportunity, but caution him not to go to law school just because he has great reasoning skills. Instead, meet tax attorneys and decide if that is a job that you want. 36:41 – Studying with a BuddyDemon Student Alex asks how to study with a buddy. Josh and Nate encourage him to practice teaching questions to each other. Josh encourages Alex to utilize the LSAT Demon Discord to find a study buddy.

The guys encourage her to continue her slow and steady approach to studying, but encourage her to improve the quality of her hour. Your LSAT hour needs to be your best hour of the day: interruption-free, focused, and energized.57:23 – Full Practice Test FailsPaige's scores plummet when she takes full practice tests instead of timed sections. Josh suggests that the score is distracting her from giving the test 100% of her mental effort. The guys then suggest that Paige must not be applying her normal process to practice tests. Nate concludes: You should have a growth mindset when it comes to practice tests. Ask yourself how you can learn from this test, not what score you will get. 1:04:43 – Comparative RCGavin struggles with comparative passages. Josh and Nate encourage him to start explicitly focusing on comparing and contrasting as he's reading. 1:12:11 - Word of the Week - SpeciousThe difference between “literary” and “genre” fiction is a specious distinction.

This one's with a familiar guest - Simon Williams - in which, as it turned out, Simon interviewed me on the question of Scenario Design: how do I do it and what approaches do I take? Simon is a British artist and illustrator, and also the creator of the Legend of The Bones podcast, a hybrid Solo Old School Dungeons and Dragons actual play and dark fantasy audio drama.Through several conversations, both on and off air, Simon and I have become friends and this chat wasn't really slated for airing but I had clicked record. I'm really glad that I did record the chat because it was an hour during which Simon's questions led to me working out and explaining a process that I've developed over the past couple of years. Big thanks to Simon for asking the questions and sharing his own thoughts, but also for letting me record and share it with you.Game on!Legend of the Bones podcast:Legend of the Bones Podcast — Apple Podcasts OR https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/legend-of-the-bones/id1622036301Legend of the Bones | Podcast on Spotify OR https://open.spotify.com/show/2HIuUxGzBtQLdGgPWRwjkg?si=0e438637d0854b09&nd=1&dlsi=57a5f90b55a148d1Legend of the Bones website: Legend of the Bones OR https://legendofthebones.blogspot.com/Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:roleplayrescue@pm.meBlogroleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social:https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialMeWe:https://mewe.com/p/roleplayrescueRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/Logo and artwork by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/ Hosted on Acast.

Leroi Conroy is the alter-ego of Colemine Records' owner, recording artist, and sound designer Terry Cole. And he just dropped a slithering, hypnotic, instrumental called “Panthera Cry,” a piece to whet our appetites for his debut album A Tiger's Tale.

Neste episódio, Didi Braguinha e André Rumjanek exploram o tempo dentro dos jogos. Não o tempo real da partida, mas o tempo dentro da ficção: o que representam as rodadas, os turnos e os marcos temporais nas regras? Como alguns jogos condensam dias em minutos, e outros se passam em tempo congelado?Eles também falam sobre ações simultâneas, o uso do tempo como recurso, e como o ritmo interno dos jogos afeta tanto a narrativa quanto a estratégia. Um episódio pra quem já se perguntou: “quanto tempo passou entre um turno e outro?” — e o que isso muda na forma de jogar.Jogos mencionados neste episódio (mesmo que brevemente):Riverbend, The Year of the Dragon, Oath, Roll Camera, Agrícola, Robinson Crusoé, Above and Below, Pandemic, Space Alert, A Tale of Pirates, Survive The Island, Gloomhaven e Heat.Para saber mais sobre este episódio e os jogos mencionados: O Tempo Dentro do JogoSe você ainda não conhece ou faz parte, fale conosco no nosso e aproveite para manda a foto do melhor dado de todos os tempos: Fabuloso DiscordE para as redes sociais: Fabuloso Podcast no InstagramFabuloso Podcast no YouTubeFabuloso Podcast no TikTok | Fabuloso PodcastPara comprar camisa do Fabuloso (e outras):Deselegante
In July of 1925, two significant dramas unfolded on different continents—the Scopes “Monkey” Trial in Tennessee and the censure of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in France— shaping the enduring conversation between science and faith. On the surface, these 1925 events couldn't be more different – one a public courtroom showdown, the other a hushed ecclesiastical reprimand. Yet, they both tackled the same fundamental question: What happens when new scientific ideas confront traditional beliefs, particularly concerning evolution? Jim Stump—with the help of guests Janet Kellogg Ray and John Haught—reflects on these pivotal moments from a century ago, exploring their lasting impact on the science and faith dialogue, the dangers of false dichotomies, the importance of epistemic humility, and the tension between institutional caution and prophetic imagination.
Boomer and Gio discuss weather, sports media news (Dave Portnoy/FOX Sports rumor, Sal Licata's joke about Craig Carton returning to WFAN). They debate acceptable criticism of referees, prompted by Brandon Tierney's alleged ejection, with callers mostly siding with umpires. Jerry's update covers his elbow injury while golfing and tips for sweaty hands/swamp ass. Shane Gillas' jokes about Juan Soto, Maxx Crosby, and Aaron Rodgers are played, along with talk of snakes on the golf course. A caller from the BT game confirms Tierney's warranted ejection, providing details.

Hi Loyal Readers. Thank you for opening this week's issue of Article Club.Today's issue is dedicated to my interview with Gideon Lewis-Kraus, author of this month's featured article, “The End of Children.” I hope you read the article and take a listen to the interview.Yes: This article is about the imminent worldwide population implosion — in other words, how by the end of this century, we're going to start losing people, and fast, and how the human race might inevitably go extinct sooner rather than later.And yes: I was surprised when I found myself interested in this topic. After all, before reading this piece, I would have said two things: (1) Um, isn't climate change what we should be worrying about? and (2) Doesn't this inexorably lead to “childless cat ladies” and The Handmaid's Tale?But let me tell you: The magic of Mr. Lewis-Kraus's writing and reporting, alongside the spirit of Article Club — which encourages us to build our empathy — got me to rethink my perspective on the plummeting human fertility rate.And this was all before getting to talk to the author himself. As you know, one of my favorite things about Article Club is that writers generously say yes to talking with us. The same was true with Mr. Lewis-Kraus. Here's a photo of him, so you know what he looks like, and then I'll write a bit about what I appreciated about our interview.It was wonderful to meet Mr. Lewis-Kraus. More than what's typical in these Article Club interviews, we talked about writing and craft. A significant part of our conversation was about how he structured and organized the piece.His thoughtfulness was apparent right from the beginning of our conversation. I loved learning how he decided to write the story in the first place and why he chose South Korea as his case study of population collapse. Some people told Mr. Lewis-Kraus that South Korea and its 0.7 fertility rate was “played out” and “a cliché,” but nobody from a major magazine had spent time in the country, he said. I was personally grateful that Mr. Lewis-Kraus took significant space in his article reporting from South Korea. If you want to gain a better appreciation of how serious the problem is there, I encourage you to watch this 15-minute video, recommended by loyal reader Peter.I was also impressed with Mr. Lewis-Kraus's awareness of his readers as he drafted the piece. He understood, for example, that his audience (aka subscribers of The New Yorker) are astute readers who mostly lean progressive and who may believe that population decline is a problem only in some countries, like Italy and Japan. Rather than skirting this issue, Mr. Lewis-Kraus decided to tackle it head on:What I realized was, Everyone is going to feel like they've read this story before — like, everyone is going to feel like they've heard this. And so the major thing that I need to do upfront is say to people, essentially directly address the reader, and say, like, You sophisticated reader might think that you know what's going on here, but you don't know what's going on here.Later in our conversation, I asked Mr. Lewis-Kraus how he makes sure not to get ahead of his readers — on the one hand respecting their knowledge, but on the other hand acknowledging that they haven't spent hundreds of hours reporting and thinking about this issue, as he has. I found his answer to be humble. Part of what, what doing this job is, is it's starting knowing nothing about something and then very quickly learning as much as you can — without forgetting what it felt like to know nothing about it.More than anything else, I left this conversation with deep respect of Mr. Lewis-Kraus and his process as a writer. As I've said many times over the years, while I can recognize the highest-quality writing when I read it, I still don't understand how writers are able to pull it off. That's maybe one reason I keep doing this newsletter — so that I can continue to explore this question and share my findings with you. Thank you very much for joining me on this journey.An invitation to our discussion on July 27I warmly invite you to participate in our discussion on Sunday, July 27, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom. You can sign up below, it's free.Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Tracy is getting her yellow belt today! Will she show her friends her new moves?
On this episode, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes Dr. Stephen Iacoboni, an award-winning cancer researcher and medical oncologist with 40 years of experience, to discuss the undeniable element of purpose in all living things. The conversation dives deep into the question of whether this purpose can be explained purely by the physical world, or if it points to a source beyond nature and science. Dr. Iacoboni shares his unique reconciliation between faith and science, as explored in his latest book, Telos: The Scientific Basis for a Life of Purpose. He recounts his personal journey and profound divergence from the "mechanistic consensus" prevalent during his medical school years in the 1960s and 70s, which viewed organisms, including humans, as "biologic machines without souls, products of an unguided process."

“Horrifying stuff that we desperately need to know.” — Scott Ostler, sports columnist, San Francisco ChronicleBacked by hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of USA Swimming files subpoenaed by the FBI, Irvin Muchnick uncovers a generation of cover-ups involving some of the sport's biggest namesThe hundreds of millions who watch the thrilling spectacle of the Olympics are unaware of the extent to which their entertainment is undergirded by the systematic abuse by coaches of the underage athletes they develop. Many flag-waving fans gained some sense of the problem from the USA Gymnastics scandals, but for generations, the crimes in swimming have caused a much wider tsunami of pain and trauma around the world.Backed by thousands of pages of FBI files and the author's independent investigations, Underwater is the first comprehensive account of this ongoing and unacceptable phenomenon. Irvin Muchnick, a well-known chronicler of the dark side of sports, pulls together shocking stories involving some of the most iconic coaches in swimming history and some of the sport's most celebrated programs — including Michael Phelps's. The book lays the blame not just at the feet of individual villains but also at a system that casually commodifies and sexualizes the vulnerable and non-consenting, prioritizing the pursuit of athletic scholarships, Olympic medals, glory, and riches.Underwater arrives just as a congressional commission has called for the first fundamental changes in the U.S. youth sports system in half a century. In the author's estimation, this reform is the only real way to protect kids from the predation of the money-first stewards of professionalized sports.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Once upon a time, 2 c*nts sat down to read some folktales from around the world. These are these stories:Tale 1: Tanuki's Gold (Japan)A tanuki is a Japanese racoon dog that shape shifts from time to time and brings good fortune. Now we will say, the one in this story doesn't necessarily shape shift (that we know of anyways) but he does bring fortune and most importantly. FRIENDSHIP! This one is really sweet, you guys.Tale 2: Horse-Dew and the Witch (Turkey)Say it out loud before you listen: what do you think "Horse-Dew" is!!?? How wrong were you? We've got a classic double-life story going on here, and unless you have Islamic Folklore knowledge, this one will keep you guessing. A royal, 3 daughters, a witch, a couple with magical powers that is still somehow struggling... this one has everything.Tale 3: The Mitten (Ukraine) This one is VERY sound effect and voice acting heavy, so you are WELCOME for that. How many animals can fit into a single mitten? Let's see....

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today's episode was such a blast. I'm talking with none other than the amazing Alan Tudyk! Alan is currently starring as Harry Vanderspeigle in the new season of Resident Alien. He also plays K-2SO in Andor, Hoban ‘Wash' Washburne in Firefly, Wat in A Knight's Tale and so so many iconic voice roles, including Valentino in Wish and the Duke of Weselton in Frozen. We have so much fun in this conversation and I loved learning more about Alan's journey from doing stand-up in a Holiday Inn, to Juilliard dropout, to working with some of the biggest names in Sci-Fi. Plus, we get to bond over our experience in the Star Wars universe and what it's like to be be part of a franchise that fans desperately want to revive (Battlestar for me, Firefly for him). Be sure to stick around after the conversation for the Hindsight, where I get together with my producer Jeph to talk over the episode, talk about upcoming convention appearances and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!

We've all been there—betrayed, blindsided, or just broken open by love gone wrong. But what if your biggest heartbreak could lead you to your biggest breakthrough? In this rich, soul-stirring conversation, Bela sits down with Arielle Ford—bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and modern-day love alchemist—to talk about her first novel, The Love Thief. Part spiritual romance, part thriller, this story takes readers on a wild emotional ride through heartbreak, karma, and ultimately, deep healing. With her signature wisdom and warmth, Arielle opens up about the real-life inspiration behind the book (yes, some of it really happened), how her own journeys through India shaped the mystical elements of the story, and why she believes healing our hearts is the ultimate act of self-love. Whether you're recovering from a relationship that shook you to your core—or you're simply craving a juicy, wise read that blends love with spiritual insight—this episode will crack your heart wide open in the best way.

This week on The Shadows Podcast, we rewind to one of the most controversial acts in music history — Milli Vanilli — but through a very different lens: Emotional Intelligence.They were global superstars… until they weren't.Vilified for lip-syncing, stripped of awards, and mocked by the same public that once praised them.But here's the twist:Everything they were crucified for in the early ‘90s — carefully curated image, polished performance, filtered perfection — is celebrated in 2025.This episode explores the story behind the scandal and what it reveals about us today — our need to be seen, our addiction to image, and the pressure to perform.Along the way, we unpack 5 emotional intelligence takeaways from the Milli Vanilli legacy:Persona is easy to build — and hard to live inside.Authenticity feels risky when perfection is what sells.Shame thrives when truth has no place to land.We reward performance… until it breaks the illusion.You can't grow if you're trapped in someone else's voice.This episode isn't just about Milli Vanilli.It's about all of us.Because in the age of filters, likes, and “living your truth” — we're all still lip-syncing something.
