Podcast appearances and mentions of titan arum

Early winter weather has us pondering an alternate definition of “slush pile,” albeit the mucky, grey residue remaining after a city snowfall. Our Slush Pile is far more fresh, but still a wintry mix as we discuss the short story “Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction” by Candice Kelsey. You might want to jump down the page and read or listen to it in full first, as there are spoilers in our discussion!   The story is set on the day of the Women's March, following 2017's Inauguration Day, but only references those events in the most glancing of ways. Instead the protagonist glances away to an array of distractions: Duolingo, a Frida Kahlo biography, a bat documentary, European architecture, banjo music, a stolen corpse flower, daydreaming, and actual dreaming. In the withholding of the protagonist's interiority, Sam sees a connection to Rachel Cusk's Outline, while Jason is reminded of early Bret Easton Ellis. The editors discuss how fiction might evoke the internet's fractioning of our attention, by recreating the fractioning or reflecting it?   We'd like to offer congratulations to Sam whose debut book of short stories, “Uncertain Times,” just won the Washington Writers Publishing House Fiction Prize. As always, thanks for listening!   At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, and Lilllie Volpe (Sound Engineer)   Listen to the story “Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction” read in its entirety by Dagne Forrest (separate from podcast reading) (Bio): Candice M. Kelsey (she/her) is a bi-coastal writer and educator. Her work has received Pushcart and Best-of-the-Net nominations, and she is the author of eight books. Candice reads for The Los Angeles Review and The Weight Journal; she also serves as a 2025 AWP Poetry Mentor. Her next poetry collection, Another Place Altogether, releases December 1st with Kelsay Books. (Website): https://www.candicemkelseypoet.com/ (Instagram): @Feed_Me_Poetry   Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction Catherine's thumb hovers over Duolingo's question, her mind dim from doom scrolling, chest dead as TikTok. The green owl stares. She swears its beak is twitching.  “Got 5 minutes?”  She swipes Duo, that nosy bastard, and his taunting French flag icon away. “Non.” The apartment is dim, the air too still. Days feel hollow and unhinged, as if she's Edmond Dantès tossed off the cliff of Chatêau d'If, a brief and misplaced shell weighted to the depths of the sea. So much for learning a language to calm the nerves. Frida Kahlo's face stares from the page of a book she hasn't finished reading. “I should just return this already.” There are days she commits to her syllabus of self-education and days she resents it. Kahlo's eyes pierce her, and giving up feels like large-scale feminist betrayal—how she has shelved the artist, her wounds, tragic love, and all. But even sisterhood is too much this January 21st, and of all people, Kahlo would understand. Catherine opens her laptop and starts a documentary about bats instead. Chiroptera. A biologist with kind eyes speaks of their hand-like bones, the elastin and collagenous fiber wings. The chaos of nature is its own magic realism. She learns bats are vulnerable like the rest of us. Climate disruption and habitat loss. Plus white nose syndrome and the old standby, persecution by ignorant humans who set their caves aflame. In the documentary, there is a bat with the liquid amber eyes of a prophet. Maybe that's what this world has had too much of, she begins to consider. Mid-deconstruction of decades in the white, evangelical cesspit of high control patriarchy, Catherine sees the world as one big field day full of stupid ego-competitions like cosmic tug-a-wars. And prophets were some of the top offenders. King Zedekiah, for one, had the prophet Jeremiah lowered into a well by rope, intending he sink into the mud and suffocate. All because he warned the people of their emptiness. Her mind wanders to Prague, to art, to something far away that might fill her own cistern life. “Maybe next summer,” she whispers. “Charles Bridge, St. Vitus.” The rhythm of bluegrass hums through the speakers, enough to anchor her here, in this room, in this thin sliver of a world she cannot escape. “That could be the problem; I need to learn Czech. No, fuck Duo.” J'apprendrai le français. J'irai à Prague. Je verrai les vieux bâtiments. But then, something strange. The banjo's pluck feels different, deeper, its twang splitting the air. She Googles the history of Bluegrass, and the words tumble from the page, layering like the weight of a corpse settling into the silt off the coast of Marseille. The banjo isn't Appalachian in origin but rather West African—specifically from the Senegalese and Gambian people, their fingers strumming the akonting, a skin drum-like instrument that whispered of exile, of worlds ripped apart. American slavers steeped in the bitter twisting of scripture trafficked them across the Middle Passage, yet in the cruel silence of the cotton fields, they turned their pain into music. How are we not talking about this in every history class in every school in every state of this nation? The akonting, an enslaved man's lament, was the seed of a gourd that would bloom into the sounds of flatpicking Southerners. Still, the banjo plays on in Catherine's apartment. A much more tolerable sound than Duolingo's dong-ding ta-dong. But she can't quite cleanse her mind of the French lessons, of Lily and Oscar. Il y a toujours plus. Her voice is barely a whisper, trying to reassure herself. There must be more. A recurring dream, soft and gleaming like a pearl—her hands moving over cool clams, shucking them on a beach house in Rhode Island. It's a faint memory, but no less ever present. Aunt Norma and Uncle Francis' beach cottage and the closest thing to a Hyannis Port Kennedy afternoon of cousins frolicking about by the edge of a long dock lured back by the steam of fritters. But this time, Ocean Vuong stands beside her. He's talking about the monkey, Hartford, the tremors of the world. And the banjo has morphed into Puccini's La Bohème, which laces through the rhythm of Vuong's syntax like a golden libretto. They notice a figure outside the window, a shadow in the sand—the new neighbor? He's strange. A horticulturist, they say. Catherine hasn't met him, but there are rumors. “Did he really steal it?” Vuong asks. She practices her French—it's a dream after all—asks “Le cadavre fleuri?” They move to whispers, like a star's breath in night air. Rumor stands that in the middle of California's Eaton fire, the flower went missing from the Huntington Museum in Pasadena. The Titan Arum, bloated and bizarre in its beauty and stench, just vanished. Fran at the liquor store says the new neighbor, gloves always pressed to the earth, took it.  At night, she hears him in the garden, talking to the roots. She imagines his voice, murmuring something incomprehensible to the moonlight. Like that's where the truth lies—beneath the soil, between the cracks of broken promises, smelling faintly of rot. She recalls the history she once read, so distant, so impossibly rotten. During WWI, when the Nazis swept through Prague, they forced Jewish scholars to scour their archives. They wanted to preserve the so-called “best” of the Jews—manuscripts, texts, holy materials—for their future banjo-twisted Museum of an Extinct Race. She shudders. The music, the wild joy of the banjo, now seems infected with something ancient and spoiled. The act of collecting, of preserving, feels obscene. What do you keep? What do you discard? Whom do you destroy? She wakes from the dream, her phone still alive with French conjugations. The bluegrass hums, but it's heavier, like a rope lowering her into Narragansett Bay. The neighbor's house is dark. But she thinks she can see him, a silhouette against the trees, standing still as a warning. Everything is falling apart at the seams, and she is both a part of it and apart from it. Like each church she left, each youth group and AWANA or Vacation Bible School where she tried to volunteer, to love on the kids, to be the good follower she was tasked with being.  She leans her forehead against the cool glass of the window, closing her eyes. The ache is there, the same ache that never quite leaves. It's sharp, it's bitter, it's whole. The small, steady thrum beneath it all. Il y a toujours plus. Maybe tomorrow she will satisfy Duo. Maybe next fall she will dance down a cobbled street in Prague. Find five minutes to feel human. Perhaps she will be whole enough, tall as St. Vitus Cathedral, to face whatever is left of this America. She closes her eyes to Puccini's Mimi singing Il y a toujours plus and dueling banjos while her neighbor secretly drags a heavy, tarp-covered object across his yard under the flutter of Eastern small-footed bats out for their midnight mosquito snack. A scene only Frida Kahlo could paint.

Have you heard of the Titan Arum? It's not only the largest inflorescence in the world, but it's also the smelliest plant in the world, unofficially! Michael popped into Kew Gardens to speak to Leif Starkey about this botanical phenomenon, which has just bloomed in the Palm House. Check Instagram for photos of its rather beautiful withered form!     Series 18 is sponsored by British Garden Centres.

Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.In mid-January this year, a Titan Arum (or corpse flower), nearly 10 years old, showed off its first ever bloom at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.The foul-smelling corpse flower only blooms for a couple of days every few years, so it's a cool thing to see.But this corpse flower is particularly exciting because it's the first “second generation” corpse flower at the Gardens to do it.Cosmos journalist Ellen Phiddian visited the corpse flower while it was blooming, and I chatted to Matt Coulter, Botanic Garden and State Herbarium curator, about it.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine websiteSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos BriefingsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

Hundreds of exotic flower fans have flocked to the U.C. Santa Cruz Arboretum to see and smell a Titan Arum blossom. Native to western Sumatra, the exotic plant blooms once every 7 to 10 years. The California Report takes us to the Central Coast for the story. After regional news and weather, Felton Pruitt talks with troubadour, Keith Greeninger.

On this day in 1937, North America's first recorded corpse flower bloom took place at the New York Botanical Garden.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to March 12th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate rare flowers and adventurous girls. The Titan Arum is one of the rarest flowers on earth. It's also the largest, with blossoms growing up to several feet tall. And seeing the flower is both a blessing and a curse. Blooms only appear every 7 to 9 years, so if you catch this amazing sight consider yourself lucky. But get ready to pinch your nose because the flower smells like something rotting. Specifically, a body decaying…which gives the flower its more well known name—the Corpse Flower. Why on earth would something so beautiful smell so bad? Self-preservation. This odor attracts lots of insects, which allows for greater pollination. On National Plant a Flower Day, plant something pretty that hopefully smells nice too. Young Juliette Gordon Low was full of adventure. She rode elephants in India, climbed the Great Pyramid in Egypt and even went trout fishing with Rudyard Kipling. When she was grown, she organized the first Girl Scout meeting in 1912 with18 girls. Today that organization is a 3.7 million strong organization. Their motto is simple: Be Prepared and Do A Good Turn Daily. The Girl Scout program today builds courage, confidence and character in its young women, along with financial literacy with its cookie sales. Notable alumni include Lucille Ball, Sandra Day O'Connor, Sally Ride and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. On National Girl Scout Day, we celebrate the adventurous spirit of one young girl who has made a difference to millions.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Researchers studying bats in Northern Laos have found evidence that brings us closer than ever to understanding the origin of Covid-19. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic scientists have tried to pin-point the exact origin of SARS-CoV-2. But recent evidence from the Institut Pasteur has identified several novel coronaviruses with similarities to the current coronavirus in bats. Professor Marc Eliot spoke to Roland Pease about how this research could give us a better idea where Covid-19 came from. Could an oral COVID treatment be available soon? Daria Hazuda, responsible for infectious disease and bacteria research at MSD tells us about their clinical trials for an oral antiviral drug that could combat Covid-19: Molnupiravir. Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Roland Pease travels to Bath to meet scientists who may have developed a way to diagnose Alzheimer's in the earlier stages of the disease. Dr George Stothart, has led the team from Bath university in the development of this simple 2 minute test. Inducing Earthquakes Scientists are experimenting with artificially managing earthquakes by injecting fluid into fault lines. Professor Derek Elsworth at Pennsylvania state university explains his research into how these induced earthquakes can be more tightly controlled. This year has been a weird one for UK gardeners – unpredictable spring temperatures meant flowers failed to bloom and throughout the rainy summer, slugs have been savaging salad crops. But why and when plants blossom is about more than just early cold spells and wet weather, and a listener in California has asked Crowdscience to investigate. Flowering is vital to both plants and us. Without it, they wouldn't be able to evolve and survive (and we wouldn't have anything to eat). Anand Jagatia hears that different species have developed different strategies for doing this based on all sorts of things, from where they're located to how big they are to what kind of insects are around to pollinate them. The famously stinky Titan Arum, or corpse flower, for example, blooms for a single day once every decade or so before collapsing on itself and becoming dormant again. This gives it the best chance of attracting carrion beetles in the steamy Sumatran jungle. But other plants open their petals much more regularly, which is a process regulated by a clever internal clock that can sense daylight and night. It's even possible to trick some of them into producing flowers out of season. Cold is also a vital step for some brassicas and trees, and scientists are starting to understand the genes involved. But as climate change makes winters in parts of the world warmer and shorter, there are worrying knock on effects for our food supply. (Image credit: Getty Images)

Story: Titan Arum Author: Edie_Rone Rating: TA Site link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20328787 Read by: Anon Summary: She’s quiet, his love; she deals with grief by compartmentalizing and internalizing. She buries it deep, and the things that grow from it are such somber, subtle flowers that although anyone who meets her senses the heaviness, the gravity of her, he is sure that he alone can identify all the flora by root and vine.

Rollpersonerna befinner sig i den täta djungeln på planeten Kua; långt i från rymdstationen Coriolis bekvämligheter. De har koordinaterna till sitt mål någonstans i Kua-systemet och ska bara ge sig iväg. Men först försöker de stoppa en avverkning och skövling av den lilla Sogoi-byn de just besökt. Det blir spänning, romantik och obekväma scener i detta det avslutande avsnittet av kampanjen Titan Arum.

Rollpersonerna befinner sig i djungeln på Planeten Kua, omringande av en kommandogrupp Nekatror. Dessa semi-intelligenser är cybernetiskt förstärkta och tränade av legionen, en dödlig fiende. Azzam, Assad och Abdul kämpar för sina liv i en storm av klor och tänder. Men så, i mitten av stridens hetta, som i ultrarapid, dansar Kayhinn fram mot en sårad Nekatra och sätter pistolen mot dess panna. "Ge upp, vi behöver inte slåss". Den väldiga Nekatra Alphan/Officeren vänder sig om och drar sin pistol. Allt blir tyst i djungeln.

Efter stränga förhör i Gardesstation 32 släpps Kayhinn, Azzam efter skjutningen utanför Wahibs Kantina. De försöker direkt leta upp kapten Rävs kropp som Abdul sett forslats bort på ett mystiskt vis.

Besättningen på rymdskeppet Coelus tror sig dragit en nitlott och letat efter ledtrådar i ett ödelagt solsystem. Kapten Räv beodrar besättningen att återvända till Kua-systemet och rymdstationen Coriolis. De har dock lasten full med skrot och två märkliga artefakter som inbringar välbehövda birr till kassan. På Wahibs kantina slappna de sedan av med kryddat vin och sitarspelande kurtisaner när Azzan får syn på någon som skuggar dem . Kapten Räv träder modigt fram och snart hörs en explosion från en butik i närheten. Azzam och Kayhinn rusar dit och får se en fasansfull syn.

I kvällens avsnitt börjar vi med andra delen av Titan Arum. Besättningen på bärgningsskeppet Coelus har fått ett minst sagt otyligt uppdrag. Men med uppdragsgivarna som är officer i Konsortiets underättelsetjänst och den högsta religösa ledare på rymdstationen Coriolis är det svårt att tacka nej.

Hasman försöker febrilt att hantera den minst sagt vedervärdiga situationen vid hangaren på Coelus. Samtidigt som en säkerhetsstyrka från portalstationen vill borda skeppet, pga oroligheterna tidigare. Besättningen åker tillbaka till Kua.

Ikväll varnar vi för lite spoilers, då vi spelar slutet av ett uppdrag från det officiella äventyret; Det döende skeppet. (Ber också om ursäkt för den hackiga bilden på Youtube-versionen av detta avsnitt - men skyller på mörkret mellan stjärnorna) Ombord på isfraktaren Orun II upptäcker besättningen på Coelus att något har gått snett. Oruns besättning har hittat något i isen som tycks drivit kaptenen till vansinne? Men det är inte det största problemet, då det plötsligt syns en signal från sensorn; ett tredje skepp närmar sig Orun II.

Bärgningen av isfraktaren Orun II går inte riktigt enligt planerna. Osämja i besättningen och kaptenens missnöje börjar lysa igenom. Har besättningen på Coelus begått myteri eller är det mörkret mellan stjärnorna?

Efter en hård förhandling med konsortiets hantlangare Yussuf Lakem om två och en halv miljoner birr återfinner sig vardagen för besättningen på Coelus. Bland de tillgängliga uppdragen från frikompanistbyrån Alkamars assistans väljer kaptenen kontraktet om 20 000 birr för att återfinna och återföra isfraktaren Orun II som missat sin positionsrapport. Tre dagar senare finner besättning den tysta Orun. Genom kommandobryggans HUD kan besättningen se den väldiga isfraktan styra rakt mot Anubars Öga; en metioritsvärm och säker död.

We’re at the UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley. A long line curves through the gardens, and a small group huddles in a steamy greenhouse, all here to get a whiff of Trudy.Garden director Paul Licht stands at the front, talking to one of the many groups to visit during the latest Trudy mania. “It goes in waves, doesn’t it?” he asks. “None have ever smelled as much the day after it opened.”Trudy is a tropical plant called a Titan Arum, known best for the putrid odor it emits when it blooms.Read the story on Berkeley News. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Titan Arum may have one of the smelliest flowers on the planet (think old gym socks), but it's also one of the largest and most beautiful. Known as the carrion or corpse flower, Titan Arum gives off a pungent scent that's perfect for attracting flies, beetles and other decomposers. Native to Sumatra, Titan Arum rarely blooms in the wild or in captivity and is a threatened species. I was lucky enough to see, smell and spend some time with a Titan Arum named Chanel at the University of California's Biology Greenhouse. In this episode I speak with Danica Taber, Biology Greenhouse Manager about this famous plant that has its own Facebook page and thousands of fans!
