Jim talks with recurring guest and deep systems thinker Jordan Hall about the scaffolding of his worldview. They discuss the waking-up scenario as a window into consciousness and personal identity, Jordan's phenomenology of waking and the "latent potential of all possible memory," the soul as the binding of finite and infinite, Jim's counter-framing of consciousness as a fusion of perception, interoception, and unconscious memory, the infinite as genuinely real, the Platonic triangle as a concrete example of transcendentals that have no particular location in the causal field, Forrest Landry's distinction between being and existence, knowing with confidence vs. knowing with certainty, Jordan's basic ontological commitment to realism, the incoherence of simulation theory, Jim's "Minimum Viable Metaphysics," the incoherence of unmediated access as the meaning of the word reality, Father Stephen DeYoung's critique of Western substantive essentialism, Bonitta Roy's idea that reality is shareable and participatory, Michael Levin's pragmatic epistemology, how purpose collapses reality to a tractable slice, "begottenness" in Christian metaphysics and the generativity of relationships, Jordan's onto-epistemology as the register before ontology and epistemology are distinguishable, Jordan's recent adoption of "smorthodox" Christianity, the phenomenology of waking as evidence that space-time is secondary, prioritizing meaningfulness over causation as a metaphysical commitment, Updike as "still alive" in the realization of his work, the Greek preoccupation with legacy and honor after death, Eric Weinstein's desire for Einsteinian legacy as a category error, love as the real currency of legacy, the Mark Twain reading as an example of a soul genuinely present in a room, Jim's father as an ongoing example of realization twenty-six years after his death, noticing a parent's turn of phrase in oneself, the sweetness of impermanence, the good vs. abusive father and different relationships to a parent's memory, values and virtues as real, the distinction between courage and bravery, culture as the progressive discovery and embodiment of virtue space, the crab-in-the-bucket problem, fallenness as local optimization, and much more.

He is now in his 18th year of building disruptive technology companies. Jordan's interests in comics, science fiction, computers, and way too much TV led to a deep dive into contemporary philosophy (particularly the works of Gilles Deleuze and Manuel DeLanda), artificial intelligence and complex systems science, and then, as the Internet was exploding into the world, a few years at Harvard Law School where he spent time with Larry Lessig, Jonathan Zittrain and Cornel West examining the coevolution of human civilization and technology.

John Updike zählt zu den wichtigsten US-amerikanischen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Den Literaturnobelpreis erhielt er nie, aber die Literaturkritik in Amerika wie auch in Deutschland liebte diesen Autor, der wie kaum ein anderer die amerikanische Mittelklasse mit den Mitteln eines Realismus beschrieb, der auf Genauigkeit und originelle Vergleiche setzt. Mit „Hasenherz“ („Rabbit, Run“) von 1960 beginnt eine Romanreihe, die Updike fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang fortsetzte: Im Mittelpunkt steht der Protagonist Harry „Rabbit“ Angstrom, der an der Schule einst ein gefeierter Basketballspieler war, jetzt aber im Leben als Angestellter – er verkauft inzwischen Küchengeräte – und verheirateter Mann mit seiner Situation so sehr hadert, dass er irgendwann von zu Hause fortläuft. Seine Frau und seinen Sohn lässt er zurück, weit kommt er jedoch nicht. Er trifft seinen ehemaligen Trainer und bald darauf auch eine junge Frau, die nicht Teil der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft ist. Dicht auf den Fersen bleibt ihm ein Pastor, der Rabbit zur Familie und wohl auch zu Gott zurückführen möchte. Updike zeigt mit Rabbit ein modernes Subjekt, das gelangweilter Konsument und transzendental obdachloser Angestellter ist. Es ist ein Jedermann, der aber immerhin noch schnell laufen kann.

In honor of The New Yorker's centennial this year, the magazine's staff writers are pulling out some classics from the long history of the publication. Louisa Thomas, The New Yorker's sports correspondent, naturally gravitated to a story about baseball with a title only comprehensible to baseball aficionados: “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu.” The essay was by no less a writer than the author John Updike, and the “Kid” of the title was Ted Williams, the Hall of Fame hitter who spent nineteen years on the Boston Red Sox. By happenstance, Updike joined the crowd at Fenway Park for Williams's last game before his retirement, in 1960. Thomas, looking at subtle word changes that Updike made as he was working on the piece, reflects on the writer's craft and the ballplayer's. “Marginal differences really matter,” she says. “And it's those marginal differences that are the difference between a pop-up, a long fly, and a home run. Updike really understood that, and so did Williams.”Plus, a visit with one of the great modern practitioners of the earworm, Charles Strouse, who wrote music for “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Annie,” and the theme to “All in the Family.” Strouse died this month at ninety-six. In one of his last interviews he gave, in 2023, he spoke with the Radio Hour's Jeffrey Masters about his rivalry with Stephen Sondheim. “Stephen and I were friendly enemies. He didn't like me much. I didn't like him less.” 

#JohnUpdike #RabbitNovels #BookLunch #BookTube #education #literature #books #amwriting #MitchHampton #aesthetics #podcastsOn this, the last episode of our series on John Updike and his Rabbit novels, I discuss the last in the Rabbit series, what Updike calls a sequel, "Rabbit Remembered" from 2000, as well as Updike's life and career more generally and the world in which he and his work played a part.

#JohnUpdike #Rabbit #Book Lunch #MitchHamptonFor the fifth episode of our John Updike "Rabbit" series we continue with an emphasis on the fourth novel, Rabbit At Rest, discussing Updike's prose style, the sociological world of the 1980s and being with a sneak preview of "Rabbit Remembered" and more!

“Architainment”. You might hate the term, but Sam has embraced it as it perfectly describes what he does. Coming from the theatre world, and tiring of tech week and the cue-to-cue's, Sam moved into the 9 to 5(-ish) world of architectural lighting. He still holds onto that creative theatricality and applies it to theme parks, building facades, and bridges. But that doesn't mean the work headaches have gone away. Listen to his story about the Manhattan building project that started out great, but devolved into weeks of extra work when the contractor fell behind. Sam is the sole proprietor of At Full Lighting, a company that specializes in large-scale entertainment and architectural lighting installations. Before starting At Full Lighting, he held various positions in many different areas of the lighting industry. He's sailed the high seas as shipwide show control on cruise ships, spent ten months living in Dubai commissioning & programming a new amusement park, and has volunteered his time at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival two years in a row. Sam has worked for various manufacturers and lighting integrators in the US and abroad, acting in various roles such as Project Manager, Service Technician, and Programmer. He has been an ETC Factory Certified Technician for twelve years and a member of their Advanced Programmers Group for the last eleven. He is also a certified trainer for ETC's Eos line of consoles. He received a BFA in Theatrical Lighting Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. Sam has been based out of New York for the past thirteen years.

The third episode of our John Updike Rabbit Series will focus on Updike's chronicling of the transitions and transformations of American culture, as represented by his characters, of the 1970s through the 1980s. As always the focus will be on prose style and how style connects to larger values in the novels.#pennsylvania #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #1990s #2000s #worldwar2 #sexualpolitics #feminism #industrialrevolution #internetage #politics #linotype #books #bookstore #library #johncheever #newyorker #williamshawn #wallyshawn #tinabrowne #adambegley #adamgopnkik #christianity #episcopalianism #cartoon #madmagazine #disney #newengland #massachusetts #harvard #ruskinschoolofart  #unitedkingdom #democraticparty #oxforduniversity $poetry #fiction #novel #davidfosterwallace #saulbellow #ericajong #fearofflying #joycecaroloates #golf #judithjones #knopfdoubleday #algonquinhotel #newyorkcity #Boston #harpercollins #books&company #jeannettewatson #ibm #ianmeewan #annbeattie #francineprose #janetmalcom #toyota #car  #nationallampoon #playboy #esquire #vietnam #watergate #cocaine #recovery #disco #top40 #essay #prose #top10 #geraldford #jamesbuchanan #1700s #1800s #911 #ronaldreagan #georgewbush #herbertwalkerbush #billclinton #museum #talkofthetown #pulitzerprize #sovietunion #russia #jimmycarter #crisisofconfidence #malaise #suburbia #christopherlasch #narcissism #freud #psychoanalysis #grouptherapy #fashion #greece #germany #denmark #hippie #yuppie #revolution #culturewar #richardnixon #ipswich #philiproth #lyndonjohnson #rockmusic #folkmusic #salesman #watsonfoundation #hinduism #judaism #buddhism #islam #cult #davidremnick #popmusic #alfredaknopf

I like Trader Joe's because the clientele is half my age or less and I stand with my cart in a long double line with college kids and mothers of tiny children and I listen to fragments of phone conversations that are fresh and fascinating to me. These people lean toward eagerness and curiosity with a streak of satire; my people tend toward dismay and resignation. The lines move fast at Trader Joe's because the store has 24 checkout cashiers and as I come toward checkout, this being New York, I wonder how many of the cashiers are hoping to be actors, writers, artists, dancers, composers, and I worry about them as I catch sight. I was a dishwasher when I was their age and I hoped to be published in The New Yorker where my heroes Updike, Perelman, Thurber published. For me, the magazine was the Big League and I needed to climb out of the Minors and when I made it, at 27, I bought filet mignon.The Bigs are still around but the young and ambitious have found new roads — podcasting, for example — in which you pitch your own tent and invent your brand and see who stops to look at the goods. I find this sort of astonishing and wonderful. I look at the young and see how their ambition is to make their own good and productive life rather than win the silver trophy or be admitted to the Big Shot Society. This is a public episode.

In this, our second episode in the series on John Updike's "Rabbit" novels I continue with in depth discussions of his magnum with special emphasis on Rabbi Run and Rabbit Redux and Updike's overall prose style.This series will continue into the New Year with multiple episodes so check back for more info! More about this ongoing multi part series, here:In addition to being one of the giants of twentieth century literature, John Updike is a personal favorite I have been reading since childhood. While I briefly mentioned an excerpt from his Rabbit Is Rich on one of the aesthetic episodes, I thought it would be a real journey is many senses to do a series on his Rabbit books. I will discuss Rabbit Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit Is Rich and Rabbit At Rest respecting the chronological order of the novels while also talking about all four in spot of the episodes. This is one of the rare instances in which a work of art is completely aesthetically valuable as a work of art while at the same time being a quite realistic (in the sense of accurate) sociological examination of life in the United States from the 1950s through the 1980s. Updike does this from the point of view of central protagonist Harry Angstrom and the milieu of middle and then upper middle class Pennsylvania, an opportunity to reflect on the country as whole. Steeped in the culture and milieu of The New Yorker Magazine as it was then, Updike epitomized those ideas and ideals about a certain kind of prose while being completely original in his style such that you can read any random paragraph from his work and know that it is John Updike. In this series we will try and discuss as much of these matters as we can and we hope you can join us. Updike was an innovator as much as he was a traditionalist in his prose, innovative particularly in how he depicted human sexuality. I will discuss his syntax, his tone and point of view as well as vision of life overall. #pennsylvania #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #1990s #2000s #worldwar2 #sexualpolitics #feminism #industrialrevolution #internetage #politics #linotype #books #bookstore #library #johncheever #newyorker #williamshawn #wallyshawn #tinabrowne #adambegley #adamgopnkik #christianity #episcopalianism #cartoon #madmagazine #disney #newengland #massachusetts #harvard #ruskinschoolofart  #unitedkingdom #democraticparty #oxforduniversity $poetry #fiction #novel #davidfosterwallace #saulbellow #ericajong #fearofflying #joycecaroloates #golf #judithjones #knopfdoubleday #algonquinhotel #newyorkcity #Boston #harpercollins #books&company #jeannettewatson #ibm #ianmeewan #annbeattie #francineprose #janetmalcom #toyota #car  #nationallampoon #playboy #esquire #vietnam #watergate #cocaine #recovery #disco #top40 #essay #prose #top10 #geraldford #jamesbuchanan #1700s #1800s #911 #ronaldreagan #georgewbush #herbertwalkerbush #billclinton #museum #talkofthetown #pulitzerprize #sovietunion #russia #jimmycarter #crisisofconfidence #malaise #suburbia #christopherlasch #narcissism #freud #psychoanalysis #grouptherapy #fashion #greece #germany #denmark #hippie #yuppie #revolution #culturewar #richardnixon #ipswich #philiproth #lyndonjohnson #rockmusic #folkmusic #salesman #watsonfoundation #hinduism #judaism #buddhism #islam #cult #davidremnick #popmusic #alfredaknopf #piano #JohnUpdike #authortube #BookLunch #books #mitchhampton --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/support

In this episode, we hear the inspiring story of a Lake Wales native, Blair Updike, who turned a childhood passion into a professional art career—and is now working to put Florida art back on the map. With no artistic background in her family—her father invented the Grove Goat, and her mother was an accountant—her journey began after an inspiring demo by Highwaymen artist Robert Butler.After years working in marketing and sales at her family's manufacturing business, art resurfaced when she painted her youngest child. That moment sparked a full-time career and, most recently, the launch of The FL Gallery online in June with the support of AllFla.Florida art, she believes, is neglected, and its stories are vital to the state's identity. By combining artist promotion with engaging art history, The Florida Gallery has struck a chord with Floridians, reaching over 2 million people and gaining 20k+ followers. Participating artists are seeing huge growth in awareness, and future collaborations with museums and organizations are in the works.Join us as we explore how art can tell Florida's story and why working together is key to supporting its artists and the protection of wild Florida. All Blair's links:Find Blair's prints here: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/blair-updikePersonal website www.bupdikeart.comPersonal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bupdikeart/Florida Gallery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefloridagallery/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/florida-uncut/donations

Jak na Nowojorczyka przystało, narodził się w jednym z nowojorskich hoteli nieopodal Times Square, w czasach kiedy na Manhattanie powstające wieżowce pięły się do nieba, a spełnienie się wielkiego amerykańskiego snu było bardziej realne niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej czy później w historii. Na początku utożsamiał miejski szyk, wyrafinowanie, dystans i poczucie humoru, ale po II wojnie światowej nabrał dziennikarskiego rozpędu i na jego łamach ukazywały się ikoniczne i przełomowe teksty, kontestujące mit Ameryki. Ciągnęli do niego nie tylko wielcy reporterzy, ale też wielcy pisarze – Lem, Pynchon, Updike, Nabokov, Plath, Márquez – choć temu ostatniemu się nie udało…a kilka miesięcy po odrzuceniu tekstu przez redaktorów nowojorskiego pisma, dostał literackiego Nobla….tym tygodnikiem jest The New Yorker.

September 25, 1954 -- A crowd of 14,175 faithful Fenway fans pay tribute to retiring Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams who is playing his last game at home. The Splendid Splinter's retirement will only last until May when his divorce is finalized with his contract being excluded from the settlement. His true retirement from playing would come in 1960, which inspired an article by John Updike titled "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu". Updike accurately described the fans relationship with Williams when he said "The affair between Boston and Ted Williams has been no mere summer romance; it has been a marriage composed of spats, mutual disappointments, and toward the end, a mellowing hoard of shared memories." It was here that Updike referred to Fenway Park as "a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark".September 25, 1965 -- At age 34, Willie Mays becomes the oldest player to slug 50 home runs in a season. The Giants center fielder was also the youngest to accomplish the feat hitting 51 homers in 1955.September 25, 1968 - In Mickey Mantle's last appearance at Yankee Stadium, he slices a two-out first inning single off Cleveland's Luis Tiant, the only hit for the Yankees. Tiant tosses his 9th shutout of the year, tops in the American League, to win 3 - 0. El Tiante's ERA drops to 1.60; the previous low for an Indian pitcher was Stan Coveleski's 1.87 in 1917.September 25, 1985 -- Rickey Henderson steals his 75th base of the season in the Yankees' 10 - 2 win over Detroit, breaking the club record of 74 set by Fritz Maisel in 1914.

The Cosmic Library has always followed notions, tangents, and moods prompted by books that can never be neatly summarized or simply decoded. This new season is no exception. Still, there's a difference: we're prompted now by more than one major work. In season five, we're talking about short stories in the United States. You'll hear from New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman, the novelist Tayari Jones, Washington Post critic Becca Rothfeld, the writer Justin Taylor, the Oxford scholar of short stories Andrew Kahn, and the actor Max Gordon Moore. And you'll hear a reading of a Nathaniel Hawthorne story that will add an exciting new dimension to your reality. Deborah Treisman in this first episode clarifies both the challenge and the promise of our subject. She says, “The term itself, 'American short story,' is slightly problematic, just because there are so many people in the U.S. writing short stories who perhaps came from somewhere else, who have a different heritage, whatever else it is—they're not playing into this tradition of Updike and Cheever and so on." Short stories in the United States tell us something way beyond any straightforward national narrative. "What's around right now is such multiplicity," Treisman says, "that it's rare to find a story that you would think of as classically American.” Contemplating multiplicity is part of the mission here in season five. We're talking about expansive range, about the uncontainable proliferation sustained by brevity. Short fiction, it turns out, can launch you into maximal excess just as novels can—and much more swiftly. Guests: Deborah Treisman, fiction editor at The New Yorker Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage Becca Rothfeld, critic at The Washington Post and author of All Things Are Too Small Justin Taylor, author of Reboot Andrew Kahn, author of The Short Story: A Very Short Introduction Max Gordon Moore, actor—with Broadway credits including Indecent and The Nap Learn more about your ad choices.

Humanities West completes its 2023–24 season by searching for the real Marcel Proust―featuring Adam Gopnik, who will give our first Vance E. Carney Memorial Lecture. Gopnik has been writing for The New Yorker for more than three decades and has often riffed poetic on Proust. From the September 17, 1990 issue: “. . . watching our building go co-op has been . . . a lot like the experience of reading Proust. You begin hopefully, you dream of new vistas of pleasure opening up before you, you think that your friends will think better of you for having done it . . . and then you get bogged down and the whole thing seems to go on forever.” From the June 14, 1999 issue: “As late as the nineteen-fifties, when most Americans already took it for granted that he was among the greatest of modern writers, a lot of people in France saw Proust as a slightly secondary figure―the way we might have seen a long-winded Scott Fitzgerald, or a Truman Capote who actually got his book written. In the past twenty-five years, though, all that has changed, and Proust has taken his deserved place among the French as at once the most magnanimous and the most exquisite of their novelists . . .” From the March 30, 2015 issue: “Everybody tries to climb Mt. Proust, though many a stiff body is found on the lower slopes, with the other readers stepping over it gingerly.” And from the May 3, 2021 issue: “If Proust, for Updike in the God-haunted nineteen-fifties, was the last Christian poet, we may see him now in more secular terms, as a writer who, perversely, sought serenity not in detachment and self-removal but in attachment and reattachment—a monk within a metropolitan monastery. 'Be here now' is the mystic's insistence. 'Don't be here now' is Proust's material motto: be there then, again. Enjoy, emote, repeat, remember: there are worse designs for living.” Joshua Landy has also been writing and thinking about and teaching Proust for decades. He will explore several Proustian questions: How can we feel at home in the world? How can we find genuine connection with other human beings? How can we find enchantment in a world without God? Does an artist's life shed light on her work? What can we know about reality, other people, and ourselves? When is not knowing better than knowing? Who are we really, deep down? And why does it matter to read about all this in a novel? Dora Zhang will focus on the famous Proust observation that "the only true voyage . . . would not be to visit new lands but to possess other eyes, to see the world with the eyes of another." In Proust's novel the camera provides a crucial means for the narrator to step outside his habitual gaze and to possess other eyes, to look anew on familiar scenes and to see hidden truths therein. Zhang will explore this theme of estranging our vision by highlighting the role of photography in In Search of Lost Time. MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond   A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

Often, the more we learn about a disease, the more we learn about ourselves and the world around us. The story of the genetic disorder osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), colloquially known as brittle bone disease, illustrates this perfectly. As researchers continue to uncover the mechanisms responsible for OI development and progression, the better we understand the varied and crucial roles collagen plays in all parts of our biology. As historians attempt to trace how that knowledge has accumulated over time, the more we can clearly see how science rarely progresses consistently but rather erratically and is prone to interruption. And as we assess where we are with OI treatment and research today, the more apparent the gap is between knowledge and application, and just how critical lived experiences are in understanding a disease. In this episode, we explore these aspects of osteogenesis imperfecta, and we are thrilled to be joined by Natalie Lloyd, who shares her experience with OI as our firsthand account. Natalie is a New York Times bestselling author of novels for young readers, whose recently published award-winning book Hummingbird tells the story of a young girl with OI. Heartwarming, magical, and brilliant, this wonderful book is a must-read.

Parkinson's is a disease of many dimensions. On the shelves of any bookstore or library you'll find at least a handful of titles exploring the topic from a myriad of perspectives, and extending that search to the internet will turn up dozens upon dozens more options: how-to guides for the recently diagnosed, in-depth textbooks exploring the neurophysiology of disease development, memoirs about caregiving for people with Parkinson's, books offering a tour through the history of research advancements. The choices seem limitless and maybe a tad overwhelming. But that's where we come in. In this episode, we take you through many of the dimensions of Parkinson's disease, from its complicated biology, still shrouded in mystery, to its history, peppered with transformative moments like the introduction of dopamine. We round out the episode by exploring the tremendous amount of promising research on the horizon, leaving us feeling like we're *this* close to yet another revolution in Parkinson's disease treatment. If you've ever wondered what dopamine does, who Parkinson was, and what might be next for this disease, this episode is for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the 16th century, a series of deadly epidemics swept through much of the region of Mesoamerica known as the Aztec Empire, killing untold millions. By the start of the first of these epidemics, the area had become woefully accustomed to devasting epidemic disease, as the Spanish conquistadors had introduced smallpox, measles, typhus, and influenza, among other infections. But this disease, with its tendency to induce massive hemorrhage, fever, jaundice, and rapid death, seemed different from those now familiar infections, and so was given a new name: cocoliztli. People watched in horror as cocoliztli overtook town after town, village after village, sometimes killing as much as 80% of the population and leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. Hundreds of years after the epidemics ended, debate about the pathogen responsible for cocoliztli remains. In this episode, we're going deep down the rabbit hole of this medical mystery, linking the spread and nature of these epidemics with the characteristics of the many pathogens that have been proposed over the years. We draw from contemporary accounts, ecological analyses, and even a recent ancient DNA study to make our evaluations, but do we ever get to the bottom of cocoliztli? Tune in to find out.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With a history extending back millennia, with a biology that leads to permanent disability for tens of millions of people globally, and with a bacterial endosymbiont that may prove to be its Achilles heel, the filarial parasites that cause lymphatic filariasis are quite the complex creatures. In this episode, we explore the intricacies of this neglected tropical disease - also known as elephantiasis. We start by examining its complicated ecology involving many mosquito and parasite species, before moving on to its tricky biology where we finally answer the age-old question, “What is the lymphatic system anyway?”. Next, we move on to the convoluted history of lymphatic filariasis, where it holds the distinction of being the first disease recognized as mosquito-borne. We wrap up the episode with a look at its present global status, grappling with some current figures on the tremendous global burden of this disease and investigating some exciting treatment developments that will hopefully bring relief to the hundreds of millions of people at risk of developing this debilitating disease.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For every article about the risks of sun exposure or a guide to sunscreens, you don't have to look far to find one about the health benefits of sunshine or a how-to for achieving the best tan. Messaging around sun exposure is mixed, to say the least, and it's no wonder that despite having more sun protection tools than ever before, rates of skin cancer have never been higher. In this episode, we delve into the relationship between UV light and skin cancers, answering your (sun)burning questions about the different types of cancers and how sunscreens actually work. We then explore the history of sun protective methods and how attitudes around tanning have changed dramatically over time. We wrap up the episode with a look at rates of skin cancers around the globe today and exciting research showing the benefits of sunscreens as well as how AI might be used to help diagnose skin cancer. Tune in for an info-packed episode that will have you reaching for that sunscreen bottle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the night of December 2, 1984, a deadly gas leak at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India led to what has been described as the world's worst industrial disaster. In the immediate aftermath of the gas leak, thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands were injured from exposure to the toxic gas methyl isocyanate. But long after the international headlines and news reports dwindled to silence, long after Union Carbide paid a paltry settlement to survivors, long after the disaster faded from much of the world's memory, the gas leak continues to haunt the residents of Bhopal. In this episode, we trace the path of methyl isocyanate from initial discovery to the night of the disaster and the years that followed. We then explore what about this gas makes it so very deadly before assessing how the contamination still present at the site is causing health problems for residents decades after the gas leak.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Throbbing, pulsating pain.” “Like a drill boring into your head.” “As though your head is gripped by a vise.” “Stabbing pain hammering through your brain.” There is no shortage of metaphors used to describe the horrific, incapacitating pain of migraines. But try as we might, can any of them truly convey what it feels like to be at the mercy of such pain? In many ways, migraines reveal our shortcomings: with language that fails to accurately describe pain, with empathy when we continue to dismiss migraines as “just really bad headaches”, with medicine as we struggle to find reliable treatments and preventatives, and with biology as we fail to understand the complete pathology of this condition. In this episode, we do our best to explore these shortcomings by deep diving into what we do know about the biology and history of migraines. Why do some people get migraines and others don't? How do certain medications work? What the heck is going on with aura? Have migraines always been around? How have people dealt with them or perceived them historically? What's on the horizon for migraines in the future? As always, we've got lots of questions and lots of answers for you, so tune in today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fungal infections don't often make an appearance on this podcast, but when they do, you know you're in for a wild ride. In this episode, we explore the rare but potentially deadly fungal infection blastomycosis. We trace the journey of Blastomyces spores as they depart from their cozy homes of decomposing wood and make their way first into mammalian lungs before possibly moving into the skin, intestines, and brain. How and why these fungi can be so deadly is our next stop, one that takes us into an unexpected direction: the fall of dinosaurs, the rise of mammals and the role that pathogenic fungi played in this transition. We delve into why comparatively few fungi are pathogenic to humans and how our warm-bloodedness may protect us. But, as we discuss in the episode's conclusion, that protection may be weakened as our warming planet selects for fungi that can tolerate increasing temperatures. Dinos, dogs, deep time, and deadly outbreaks - this episode has it all.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's no denying that human imagination is a powerful thing. It has led us to create incredible works of art, literature that transports its readers to other realms, technology that revolutionizes the way we communicate and travel, music and film that makes us laugh, cry, and hit repeat. But our imagination often falls short when trying to conceive of the world from another person's perspective, especially when it comes to senses. In this episode, we delve into one of the most prominent examples of this: color vision and color vision deficiencies. First, we take you through how color vision works and just how non-universal this experience is. We then explore the origins of color vision and what evolutionary significance it may have held before getting into the discovery of color vision deficiency and its impact on industry. We close out this colorful episode by chatting about some of the latest developments and products geared towards those with color vision deficiency.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). The dreaded scourge of daycares, kindergartens, even occasionally college campuses, and the topic of this week's episode. From the multiple viruses that cause HFMD to the wide array of symptoms (bye bye, fingernails), from the relatively recent discovery of this disease to the ancient origins of all viruses (deep time, y'all), from the changing nature of outbreaks to the development of potential vaccines (fingers crossed) - in this episode we're going way beyond the basics of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Whether or not you've had the pleasure of being up close and personal with this disease, this episode is sure to leave you slightly horrified/mildly impressed by the infectiousness, longevity, resilience, and deep roots of the HFMD viruses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nancy Updike is a founding producer and senior editor at This American Life. Jenelle Pifer, a former Longform Podcast editor, is a senior producer at Serial. Their new three-part podcast, hosted by Updike and produced by Pifer, is We Were Three. Updike: “I say it's a story that's a bit about COVID, but really about a family, and that's the closest I've gotten to a short version. I don't know. Why is that? I never have a short version of something I'm working on—never.” Pifer: “We were doing a lot of talking about, for Nancy, what are the driving questions you tend to be attracted to? There were a few things we came up with, one of which was that you tend to gravitate toward stories where somebody is in the middle of something that they don't know what to make of yet, and you kind of just want to sit with them and see what direction they walk in, or what they say, or what meaning they put onto something.” Show notes: @jenellepifer jenelle-pifer.com Updike's This American Life archive Updike's New York Times archive 05:00Rachel McKibben's Twitter thread 24:00 Heavyweight #46 Dan (Jonathan Goldstein • Gimlet • 2022) 39:00 Nice White Parents (Chana Joffe-Walt • Serial Productions • 2020) Learn more about your ad choices.
