This episode begins with a rant. This rant, in particular, comes from Dan Engber - a science writer who loves animals but despises animal intelligence research. Dan told us that so much of the way we study animals involves tests that we think show a human is smart ... not the animals we intend to study. Dan's rant got us thinking: What is the smartest animal in the world? And if we threw out our human intelligence rubric, is there a fair way to figure it out?Obviously, there is. And it's a live game show, judged by Jad, Robert … and a dog.The last episode of G, our series on intelligence, was recorded as a live show back in May 2019 at the Greene Space in New York City and now we're sharing that game show with you, again. Two science writers, Dan Engber and Laurel Braitman, and two comedians, Tracy Clayton and Jordan Mendoza, compete against one another to find the world's smartest animal. They treated us to a series of funny, delightful stories about unexpectedly smart animals and helped us shift the way we think about intelligence across all the animals - including us.Special thanks to Bill Berloni and Macy (the dog) and everyone at The Greene Space.EPISODE CITATIONS:Podcasts:If you want to listen to more of the RADIOLAB G SERIES, CLICK HERE (https://radiolab.org/series/radiolab-presents-g). Videos:Check out the video of our live event here!

Au travail, autour d'un verre, sur les réseaux sociaux… peu d'entre nous peuvent s'enorgueillir de ne jamais avoir “gossipé”. Dès l'enfance, on nous prévient : ça ne se fait pas de discuter de la vie des gens en leur absence. Pourtant, on ne peut pas s'en empêcher. Qu'est-ce qui fait que l'on aime s'échanger des infos croustillantes sur les autres ? Et si tout le monde partage des ragots, et que c'est bienveillant la plupart du temps, pourquoi on se sent tellement coupable de raconter des potins ? Quel rôle joue le gossip dans nos vies ? Dans cet épisode, la journaliste Bénédicte Gilles échange avec Samia Basille, podcasteuse et créatrice de La Chamade, sur son rapport décomplexé au gossip. Elle interroge la chercheuse en psychologie Elena Martinescu sur la manière dont les potins nous permettent d'exprimer nos valeurs morales. Elle rencontre Julia Sliwa, chercheuse à l'institut du cerveau au CNRS, pour comprendre pourquoi cet intérêt pour les ragots fait de nous des mammifères comme les autres. Enfin, elle revient avec Laurence Pieau, journaliste qui a lancé et dirigé les rédactions de Closer France et Voici, sur notre ambivalence à l'égard de la presse people. Car tout compte fait, il semblerait que les ragots aient une dimension politique indéniable.Les ressources citées dans cet épisode : Le podcast La Chamade de Samia Basille Le podcast Normal Gossip de Kelsey McKinney et Alex Sujong Laughlin (Radiotopia).L'étude Who gossips and how often in everyday life de l'Université de Californie, 2019 L'étude Why we gossip d'Elena Martinescu, 2017 Le livre Figures Publiques d'Antoine Lilti, 2014, Éditions Fayard Le livre Une guerre mondiale contre les femmes de Silvia Federici, 2021, Éditions La Fabrique L'enquête de Marine Turchi dans Mediapart sur les accusations d'agressions sexuelles à l'égard de Gérard Depardieu, 2023 Archives : Anne Sylvestre, “Clémence en vacances”, Comment je m'appelle, 1977 “Squirrel enthusiast with Tracy Clayton”, Normal Gossip, Radiotopia, Juin 2022On n'est pas couché, Tout sur l'écran, France 2, 6 septembre 2006Cet épisode a été tourné, écrit et monté par Bénédicte Gilles.

The Pop Culture Happy Hour team is off today, so we're bringing you an excerpt of the podcast Raised By Ricki. If you were a fan of Ricki Lake's talk show back in the '90s, this is the podcast for you.

Part re-watch podcast, part cultural retrospective, Raised by Ricki features conversations with John Waters, Andy Cohen, Sally Jessy Raphael, and many more. In this excerpt, Ricki sits down with writer and podcast host Tracy Clayton. Tracy watched Ricki Lake every day after school, and talks about what makes the show so unforgettable, the importance of seeing Black representation on-screen, and how Ricki influenced her own career in media.

The best 90s self-care routine? For writer and podcast host Tracy Clayton, that was watching The Ricki Lake Show every day after school.

Author and bird enthusiast Ashley C. Ford says that it's good to have a list of at least five birds that you're scared of — like the six foot tall cassowary — just to keep you honest. “It's very important to humble yourself and to understand where you actually lie on the food chain,” she says. But despite the goose's mischievous reputation, she'd never have them on her list. “I grew up in the Midwest,” she says. “And I know personally I'm not scared of no goose.” Hear more of Tenijah Hamilton's conversation with her birding heroes, Ashley C.

Tenijah has been on a birding journey since she was drawn into bird watching at the start of the pandemic — and now, she's inspiring new birders with Bring Birds Back.

They're podcasters and writers, and they love birds and talk about them on social media or in their work. Tenijah wants to learn how they think about their role in science communication and inspiring new birders — and they have a lot of fun.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

I've been thinking a lot about peace in recent years, and how I eventually want to buy a home and make it a haven, I daydream about having a large entertainment room with a corner with board games. I love word games and two-player games, but not as much the collect-pieces-and-build-worlds ones. So to broaden my horizons, I talked to K. Alex Mills and Tracy Clayton about their favorite games and how they make their lives better.   Indulgence Tracy recommends Wingspan!   Guests - K.

Before the year ends, Brittany and Eric welcome another dynamic duo: Tracy Clayton and Josh Gwynn, hosts of the Back Issue podcast. They get into the ins and outs of co-host life, make a case for how pop culture can be a balm for all of us in these times, and also test how well they really know each other.

We get personal about our relationship with our booties. Not all of us were brought up in an era where there was so much booty appreciation. We stoop it out with hosts Josh Gwynn and Tracy Clayton from Back Issue Podcast, we talk about the booty blues, what's wrapped up in calling a young Black girl “fast” and we meet Professor Kamille Gentles-Peart who has been studying sociology around Black women's bodies.

In 2020, we put out more than 60 episodes of Death, Sex & Money—far more than we've ever put out in a year before. We decided early on in the pandemic that we wanted to be there for our listeners during this especially difficult and isolating time.  This year, we heard from essential workers, from Black listeners processing police violence and injustice, and from many people losing loved ones and missing important milestones, all while isolated from each other. We also shared the books and the podcasts we love, came up with a tool kit for how to pass the time, and tried to find moments of joy. Today, the Death, Sex & Money team reflects on highlights from this year’s episodes, and we check in with a few of the listeners we got to know this year.  Want to revisit some of our favorite episodes this year? Here's our essential workers episode, our Financial Therapy conversation with Frenchie, the live conversations with Back Issue hosts Tracy Clayton and Josh Gwynn and author Akwaeke Emezi, our episode on conversations in immigrant families, part one of our Skin Hunger collaboration, our update with Sharron, and our Game Changer episode featuring Shelby Harris.

Any great mixtape has to end with a classic crowd pleaser, a track that pulls the whole thing together. To end this season, we pay tribute to one of the best collaborations between pop and hip-hop of all time: the “Fantasy” remix. Hear how Mariah made the music she wanted to hear and how influential this legendary track is on pop music today.

Track seven is rounding the corner to the end, so let’s give the people what they want: boy bands. No matter which of the Backstreet Boys you had a crush on, we can all sing along to all the words of “I Want It That Way.” And sure, the words may not make much sense, but they sound so, so good.

Happy Thanksgiving! Our special family guests this week include Samin’s younger brothers Pasha & Bahador, Hrishi’s dad Dr Sumesh Hirway, and Hrishi’s niece Asha. Plus, the wonderful Tracy Clayton (@brokeymcpoverty) tells us about the Thanksgiving opinion that could get her excommunicated from her old Kentucky home. This episode is dedicated to Kanta Hirway, Hrishi’s mom. Without her incredible home cooking and mischievous sense of humor, this podcast (and Hrishi) would have never been. Her Thanksgiving mango pie was the connection point for Samin and Hrishi’s first collaboration, and we hope you’ll try making it in her honor. Words cannot express how much she will be missed, but she expressed her love through food, anyway—so eat well and take care of each other For recipes, resources, and more, visit homecooking.show/episodes/13.

Track six is when you give your favorites their flowers. If someone else was putting this playlist together, maybe they’ll have the best New York rapper or an entire West Coast label represented. Not you though; you’re throwing on Outkast. It may not be the song with the most airplay, but it is the one that might mean the most. As Andre 3000 once said, the South’s got something to say.

Track five is when the listeners trust you, so you put on a song you really love. It may seem simple -- fun lyrics, call and response, a bassline that sounds familiar -- but you could talk about it for hours. And if you’re listening to your playlist with Hanif Abdurraquib, the writer of the incredible book Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes on A Tribe Called Quest, you’ll want to talk about “Can I Kick It?” for as long as possible Credits - Hosts: Tracy Clayton and Akoto Ofori-Atta - Guests: Hanif Abdurraqib - Lead Producer: Eric Silver - Editor: Brandon Grugle - Executive Producers: Amanda McLoughlin and Tracy Clayton - Produced by: Multitude & Sony Music Find Us Online - Website: my90splaylist.com - Twitter: twitter.com/sonypodcasts - Instagram: instagram.com/sonypodcasts - Facebook: facebook.com/sonypodcasts About The Show The 90s are back in so many ways, but our favorite tracks never left.

Track four is when you impress your friends with your deep music knowledge, when you turn to the back seat of the car and say “Did you know Torn is actually a cover?

What does it really take to put more diversity - however you define it - into your news feeds? We tend to click on things we agree with already. It makes us happy. And social media networks like it that way. Bumming out your customers is a bad business model.  A while back, we got tips on escaping the echo chamber from Katie Notopoulos, co-host of BuzzFeed's Internet Explorer podcast, and Tracy Clayton, co-host of the BuzzFeed podcast Another Round. When we first talked, this felt like an important idea, a step towards an expanded mind. Now, post-election, it feels a lot less optional.  Katie and Tracy joined Manoush to talk about how to get just the right amount uncomfortable online, and why the first step is to just try.  Support Note to Self by becoming a member today at NotetoSelfRadio.org/donate.

A few weeks ago, we did an episode on how to get a better range of perspectives in your digital life. BuzzFeed's Tracy Clayton and Katie Notopoulos said the metric for success is to build a feed that's "10 percent infuriating." A lot of you had really strong reactions, and there was a theme: you wanted to know what to do when the opinions you're seeing online are so different from your own that they border on offensive or even bigoted.  At this tense moment of protests on college campuses, shootings in the Midwest and beyond, and violence in cities across the world, we've decided that the time is ripe to revisit our episode from last December called “Your Facebook Friend Said Something Racist. Now What?”  It will help you navigate a particularly infuriating Facebook feed – or maybe just the Thanksgiving table:   "LARA" is a system promoted by the National Council for Community Justice (Note to Self/Piktochart)  

This is the latest installment of "Question of Note," in which we take a listener's question — your question! — and find just the right the person (or people) to answer it. See them all here as we go along. Got a Question of Note you'd like answered? Email notetoself@wnyc.org with a voice memo. Here's how to record one.  Some people call it the "echo chamber effect." Others worry about filter bubbles or homophily. Every once in awhile you'll hear hands wringing over birds of a feather. Or you could just say it like listener Anid Chan in Portland: "I have a concern about personalized feeds. There is so much information out there, but I know that most of what I see are opinions and voices like my own. I worry this makes us more judgmental about other people, because most of what we believe gets emphasized by people who think the same way. How do we break out of the bubble?" Anid is right. We are more likely to have friends who are similar to us in age, education, occupation, and location. Channel that truth through the ever-present intersections of race, gender, nationality, ability, sex, and class, and, yes, it can get vulnerable and uncomfortable and even ugly. Cocoons form – comfortable and multi-platform cocoons, because we are also most likely to click on, like, or comment on things we already agree with. Then, because they want us to have positive experiences with their products, many of the social networks we use assume we want to see more of whatever it is we've chosen to click. The algorithms learn to reward opinions or people they think we'll like. In a company-sponsored study of 10.1 million of the most partisan American users on Facebook, researchers found that people's networks of friends and the stories they see are skewed toward their ideological preferences, though there are different interpretations as to why. Twitter too: an NYU political scientist found that about two-thirds of the people followed by the median Twitter user in the United States share the user's political leanings.  Happy almost-election season, right? Which brings us back to Anid's question. What does it really take to put more diversity - however you define it - into your news feeds? We asked two people working to do this for BuzzFeed - yes, the news website known for cat video and listicles. But the reason you know about them is because Buzzfeed spends a ton of energy figuring out what gets shared, why, and in which communities.  Katie Notopoulos is co-host of BuzzFeed's Internet Explorer podcast. She was the force behind #UnfollowAMan (which is exactly what it sounds like). Tracy Clayton is co-host of the BuzzFeed podcast Another Round, and one of the driving forces behind the CocoaButterBF initiative, designed to make BuzzFeed a little bit less monochromatic. They joined Manoush to talk about their work digging into the deepest corners of the Internet, thinking about their audiences, and figuring out what to elevate on one of the biggest platforms out there.  And for the average Internet reader? Here are some tips from Tracy and Katie: 1. Try. Acknowledge that there is a problem. To quote: "I... often come across the person who is like 'hey, you know, can you help me find a black writer to write about this, or an Asian writer to write about this, like I just don't know where to start,' and in addition to just sort of general cluelessness, [it also suggests] just, like, laziness. You know this is something that you have to try to do. You don't necessarily have to try really hard, but you do have to try. So start with trying, and then graduate to Google, and then see where you end up." 2. Keep your not-quite-friends on your friends list. Look them up occasionally. Facebook says your "weak ties" are a good way to get range. According to the company, 23 percent of users' friends are of an opposing political affiliation. If you look them up every once in awhile, the algorithm is more likely to filter a wider range of posts and updates into your feed. So go ahead and stalk your high school ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's mother you friended on a whim. It'll be good for your worldview. And on a more serious note? If they say something offensive, don't necessarily unfriend. We made a flowchart for you here. 3. Click on one link you're only semi-interested in once a week (or more). Katie says a good feed should be "10 percent infuriating." But this doesn't have to be a hate click. Just a conscious effort to convince the Facebook or Google algorithms into thinking your interests are broader than they perhaps even are. Make a game of it. See what happens. Report back. 4. Unfollow one person whose perspective you know a little too well. Follow someone else instead. Take Katie's lead and #UnfollowAMan. Or a white person, or a Democrat, or a Republican, or a 30-something, or a New Yorker... whatever applies. The key is to replace him thoughtfully.  Here are some of Katie and Tracy's suggestions in a Twitter list.  And here are a few more solid curation feeds we've been into these days. This is obviously not a comprehensive list and suggestions are always welcome: Global Voices Online (@globalvoices) reported.ly (@reportedly) Across Women's Lives (@womenslives) Microaggressions (@microaggressive) 5. When you sign up for a new service, choose broad categories. There's always a new "it thing." When you try them out, treat them all a little differently. Katie uses the example of Apple News: "When you first sign up, it asks you 'what categories of news do you want?' And that's a really daunting question, but it's funny because I'm so used to like, 'I follow these outlets already and these people,' and so this was, 'here's a totally new app that's going give me a totally different experience.' Immediately I was seeing articles by outlets that I don't normally read." Basically, this tip boils down to "when you try something new, really try something new. Even if you don't stick with the service, you can discover new people in the process. 6. Join a public group. New perspectives on politics and the world don't necessarily come from political websites or world commentary. Sometimes, joining a public group about a lighter, more social topic is the best way to see what people are really talking about, and to teach your social networks that your interests can encompass more types of people. Katie recommends Dogspotting. Which is also exactly what it sounds like. You'll see new names, new people, new communities, and new languages. And dogs. A dog in Canberry, Australia. (Danielle Griffiths/Dogspotting) 7. Embrace your inner fly on the wall. Sometimes, the metric of success here is finding conversations that allow you to just listen, and not say anything at all. Tracy says one of the takeaways from hosting Another Round – a podcast in which she and her co-host Heben Nigatu talk about race pretty frequently – has been the reaction of white listeners: "We get a lot of emails white listeners, that say, 'you know what I'm just so glad to be able to sit in on these conversations... I've never had access to them before.' And I think that Twitter allows you the same sort of distance from really intimate conversations. I feel like people on Twitter are more likely to talk more candidly [about things] that concern them and their lives and their own personal experiences with people who have a shared reality."
