A teddy bear launched into the upper atmosphere as part of a school science project has gone missing! Inspired by this story, the Unexpected Elements team look into how bears could help improve astronauts' health on long-term space flights. Next, how has a US Air Force site delivered an unexpected conservation win for an endangered species?We're then joined by Justin Gregg, a professor of animal behaviour and cognition. He reveals why we anthropomorphise cuddly toys – such as teddy bears – and why this isn't necessarily a bad thing. We meet Alan Turing's teddy bear, before finding out why it's good to get lost.All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Andrada Fiscutean and Chhavi Sachdev Producers: Margaret Sessa-Hawkins, with Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, Alice McKee and Robbie Wojciechowski

In the 80-year coverup of the UFO mystery, there have been a handful of pivotal moments where public interest in the topic gained enough momentum to threaten the iron-clad, intractable code of silence adopted by military authorities and intelligence agencies. The 1952 overflights of Washington DC, the insider revelations unveiled by Major Donald Keyhoe, the outrage emanating from Project Blue Book's ridiculous “swamp gas” type explanations, and the 2017 New York Times report about secret UFO programs and the Tic Tac incident each inspired demands for truth and transparency. But in each of those and other episodes, public interest eventually waned, in part because of clever cover stories, media manipulation, and debunking efforts by civilian “experts” who willingly espoused the themes crafted by secret keepers within the CIA, US Air Force, and a handful of defense contractors. Right now, as 2025 comes to a close, another opportunity has arrived. A blockbuster film, Age of Disclosure, has broken through the indifference that is common among major news platforms and has grabbed the attention of a broad audience, including members of Congress. At the same time, a dramatic interview with UAP whistleblower David Grusch was broadcast worldwide on the Fox News Network. A new book by Dr. James Lacatski, a career intelligence analyst for the DIA, has revealed the extent of AAWSAP, the acronym for the largest acknowledged UFO investigation ever financed by the US government. Because of these and other factors, at this moment, the UFO topic has grabbed public attention in a way not seen in years. Is this a pivotal moment in the history of the UFO/UAP mystery? And if so, what are the factors that led to this and what might the proponents of disclosure do next to make sure the moment is not another missed opportunity? In this episode, Jeremy and George are joined by three longtime researchers (and observers of UFO World) to get their input about the current state of public momentum for transparency, the impact of the new Age of Disclosure film, how the increased interest among the public and media might influence the Trump Administration to act, and what is likely to happen next. The panelists include Ryan Robbins (known for his insightful commentaries on his YouTube channel “Post Disclosure World”), Danny Silva, former editor of the Silva Record publication, and Joe Murgia, aka UFO Joe, who produces highly detailed reports and interview transcripts on his X account.

Major General Mick McGuire joined Bruce & Gaydos to share his thoughts on Senator Mark Kelly's comments saying military members don't have to follow illegal orders.

Mark Schaefer returns to our show, bringing with him a wealth of insights from his latest book about the sweeping changes AI is bringing to sales and marketing. As part of a global research initiative with 300 futurists, Mark shares his predictions for AI's impact by 2035, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges businesses face, especially those small to medium-sized. We explore how tech giants are seamlessly weaving AI into their strategies and why it's crucial for smaller enterprises to comprehend and act on AI's transformative power to stay relevant and competitive.  Our conversation takes a closer look at AI's role in reshaping marketing strategies and customer engagement. Traditional metrics are giving way to data-driven insights, marking a shift in how businesses connect with consumers. While AI-generated content is becoming more prevalent, we emphasize the irreplaceable value of authentic, human-centric content. The discussion touches on the enduring importance of human creativity and expression, even as AI attempts to replicate empathy and innovation. Personal preferences, it seems, still hold weight against AI's recommendations, underscoring a unique space for human intuition and creativity.  We also investigate the profound implications AI bears on human relationships and business operations. As AI continues to streamline processes, the human element remains vital in building meaningful connections and trust. Through exploring personal branding, community building, and the essence of vulnerability, we highlight the irreplaceable human touch in a world increasingly intertwined with AI technologies. Mark's insights serve as a reminder that while AI may reshape certain aspects of our interactions, the authentic essence of human experience and empathy remains at the core of genuine relationships and successful business endeavors.  Mark W. Schaefer is a globally recognized author, keynote speaker, futurist, and business consultant who blogs at {grow} — one of the top five marketing blogs in the world. He teaches graduate marketing classes at Rutgers University and has written 12 best-selling books. Mark's new book Audacious: How Humans Win in an AI Marketing World describes an essential framework for businesses to stand out and be seen in a noisy world. His many global clients include Pfizer, Cisco, P&G, Dell, Adidas, and the US Air Force. He has been a keynote speaker at prestigious events worldwide, including South by Southwest, Marketing Summit Tokyo, and the Institute for International and European Affairs. Mark has appeared as a guest on various media channels, including CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and CBS News.   Quotes:  "AI is not just about technological advancements; it's about how it rewires our brains and influences consumer behavior."   "In a world dominated by AI-generated content, the irreplaceable value of authentic, human-centric content remains."   "The human element is vital in building meaningful connections and trust, even as AI continues to streamline processes."  "While AI can mimic empathy and creativity, genuine human expression holds enduring value."    Links:  Mark's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/markwschaefer/ How AI Changes Your Customers - https://businessesgrow.com/how-ai-changes-your-customers/ Find this episode and all other Sales Lead Dog episodes at https://empellorcrm.com/salesleaddog/

ANCIENT DESTINY by Albert Lynn ClarkThis is a science fiction novel set in todays time. The novel promotes women as intelligent and capable of almost anything that a man can do and sometimes better. Most of the women in this novel are elevated into a team of women saving the world in the next novel, "Ancient Destiny - Escape from Earth". Craig is the captain, but more of a figurehead while the women are the experts on his team. It is something that could be happening now, but it could be the end of Earth in a few years or months. We know that Earth has been impacted by intersteller objects that either caused major changes to life on Earth and we know that one killed off the dinosaurs. We have had a number of near misses by smaller asteroids that the astronomers did not see coming. What if they spotted a very large one on course to impact Earth and too large to stop. Right now comet(?) 31/ATLAS will have come through this solar system passing by Mars, then the Sun, and is predicted to come closest to Earth on December 19, 2025. It is estimated to be 26 miles wide and traveling 300,000 miles an hour. It will miss Earth unless the Sun's gravity changes its but it would do more damage then the one that killed the dinosaurs if it hit head on.The people of Atlantis came here from Mars to avoid being killed when the intersteller object hit Mars destroying most of its atmosphere. Some of them escaped Atlantis by leaving our solar system. The ones staying behind lost their technology when Atlantis was destroyed. A spaceship was left in orbit to educate the survivors in science and math to once again create the technology to escape Earth. Aristotle, Tesla, and others were trained by this ship, but the existing technology did not allow them to do what they knew was possible. Now the object that destroyed Mars is coming to Earth in only a few years and the ship has chosen a college student as the next Aristotle to advance science many years in a very short time in order for some small set of humans to escape into space.Albert Lynn Clark is a widowed, retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel and civil servant.

Our guest, Karl Palmberg from Sunlight and Rain Grass-fed Beef, is a man whose life has been shaped by service—first in the Air Force, flying F-16s, and now on the family farm, where he's building a legacy of regenerative agriculture. Karl's story is a powerful reminder that the transition from military service to farming isn't just about changing careers; it's about finding a calling that brings deep satisfaction and a sense of duty to something greater than oneself. As Karl puts it, “Being able to figure out how to feed people nutritious food gives a lot of job satisfaction whereas some of my peers end up doing other jobs that pay a lot more, but don't give that kind of sense of meaning and purpose. And if I had to choose one, I choose the one that I have right now.” Have a listen as we dive into Karl's journey, his intentional approach to farming and grazing, and the lessons he's learned along the way about purpose, service, and the enduring connection between veterans and the land. Let's get into it!

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by CNN Military Analyst Cedric Leighton. Col. Leighton (USAF-Ret.) provides his expert analysis on President Trump restarting U.S. nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years. They also discuss Trump and Pete Hegseth's missile attacks on fishing boats in foreign waters, the President's East Asia trip, a potential trade deal with China, and more.

The book shines a spotlight on one of the most shadowy and impactful industries in U.S. politics—the foreign influence business. Drawing on exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel pulls back the curtain on this billion-dollar business that spans the partisan spectrum and secretly shapes U.S. foreign policy, while often flouting American values like human rights and democracy.

Freemasons at the highest leadership levels are deeply involved in running UFO related programs in the US military and corporate contractors, according to Daniel Morris Salter who worked for over a decade with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). At levels above 33rd degree, Freemasons are compromised by Satanism which Salter claimed in a 2001 Disclosure Project video interview is “the greatest threat that the American people face at this time."Salter worked for over 20 years with the US Air Force before joining the NRO in 1968 due to his expertise in electronic communications and tracking UFO activity. He was part of a team of covert operatives whose task was to persuade witnesses not to talk about their UFO-related experiences. After completing his NRO career, Salter decided to go public in 1997 with what he had learned.His grandsons, Daniel and Derek have spent the past 20 years or more searching for the truth about their grandfather's involvement in the military, his message regarding UFOs and our human interaction with advanced civilizations throughout our universe, and throughout time (past, present and future encounters).Daniel and Derek's YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/@clrthought3341/

We've heard the case for making the US Air Force bigger. But a couple of defense thinkers have a new report on how it can operate better. Do the ideas hold up? What gets cut? The Hudson Institute's Bryan Clark joins us to explain. And we'll have this week's headlines in airpower. Powered by GE!

Host Natalie Pierce updates listeners on two past guests and introduces them to a new one.First, she highlights Daniel Robinson, a guest from the first episode of “The FutureWork Playbook” in 2021. Daniel is the co-founder and CEO of Red 6, a company that has revolutionized pilot training by bringing live in-cockpit AR training to the US Air Force. Red 6 has been “outrageously successful” since Daniel's visit, Natalie explains, including securing major contracts with the US Air Force and partnering with Northrop Grumman.Second, she spotlights Samir Menon, CEO at Dexterity AI. When he visited back in the first season, Dexterity AI was doing groundbreaking work on how robotics could support and power human capabilities. It has since “transformed from a promising robotic startup into a global leader in warehouse automation,” Natalie says. Earlier this year, for example, the company secured $95 million in funding, reflecting strong investor confidence and accelerating development.Finally, Natalie welcomes Megan Ruan for the latest installment of the podcast's series featuring 30 Under 30 industry partners.As the child of Asian immigrants, Megan remembers a pivotal early-career moment when she was invited to a dinner packed with leaders from across industries, all focused on elevating Asian entrepreneurs. That night, surrounded by changemakers from entertainment to publishing, she knew she wanted in. “I just wanted to join the movement—whatever that looked like,” she tells Natalie.Megan went on to help build Gold House Foundation's venture arm, Gold House Ventures. By championing founders from the Asian and Pacific Islander community, the team has invested in 78 startups, powered an accelerator supporting over 115 companies, and helped unlock more than $2 billion in follow-on capital. Tune in to hear Megan's story and how she guides founders to tell their stories that generate investor commitment.Episode HighlightsGold House Ventures works hand-in-hand with Gold House Foundation, routing fund profits to support the nonprofit's efforts to move the needle for Asian Pacific Islander and diverse communities.The team blends “cultural insight and distribution advantage” with the usual investment metrics, putting founder-market-culture fit front and center rather than just product-market fit.As AI streamlines product development, Megan is clear: Founders need to show traction before fundraising. "You need to go out and test and iterate. With so many prototyping tools at your disposal, raising a pre-seed round without having tested the market is near impossible."Portfolio companies like Weee! and ChowBus tap into cultural affinity and nostalgia, forging strong loyalty among underserved users.Gold House focuses on “hidden giant markets”— industries overlooked by others where startups can gain a foothold before the bigger players take notice.

//The Wire//2300Z September 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UK ANNOUNCES NATIONAL MANDATORY DIGITAL ID. RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT INTERCEPTED OFF ALASKAN COAST. CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER INDICTED FOR SMUGGLING GUNS TO CARTEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: Scandal has erupted following the announcement of a national identification paper scheme. The British government is set to implement a mandatory digital ID system that will be required for all British citizens to be allowed to function in society.Europe: Drone incursions have continued over the past few days, with limited reports of drone incursions popping up in Norway and Denmark. Overnight, more drones were spotted over the port city of Korsor, along with a handful of airports scattered around the country.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to tell if these drone reports are any different than the standard incursions that have become common in civilian aviation over the past few years. When an airport sends out a hazard report to pilots, a description of "UAS activity" doesn't really indicate much. What is quite clear is that the initial drone reports in Denmark were vastly different than most of the typical quadcopter reports that are more common. However, now that media attention is on the skies once again, it's possible that more drone sightings will be reported. It's also very likely that, now that people are paying attention, more people will confuse legitimate drone threats with commercial aircraft, as has been a trend lately.-HomeFront-Mississippi: This morning 911 call center services went offline for the entire state, which local authorities state were caused by a "series of fiber optic cuts".Analyst Comment: Right now it's not clear as to if this was the result of malign action, or by accident. Generally speaking it would be a bad idea for an entire state's critical infrastructure to be vulnerable to one swipe of a backhoe, but it's certainly possible.Illinois: A Chicago police officer has been indicted for smuggling weapons for cartels in Mexico. The indictment states that Officer Kevin Rodriguez used his law enforcement credentials to purchase firearms that were illegal for normal citizens to buy in the states of Illinois and Indiana. He was then paid by a cartel member by the name of Diego Valdez, who took possession of the firearms and smuggled them into Mexico. Analyst Comment: This scheme allegedly ran from September to December of 2024, and so far all of the court documents indicate that only two rifles were smuggled into Mexico. However, this may be a larger network, as these types of arrangements usually go on for some time before they are detected.Alaska: This morning US Air Force aircraft were scrambled to intercept Russian bombers off the west coast. A flight of Russian Tu-95 BEAR H aircraft were observed approaching the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which prompted American aircraft to intercept them and escort them during their flight near American airspace.Analyst Comment: This is a fairly standard event that usually goes unnoticed most of the time. However, this case is probably related to President Trump's recent comments on Russia's incursions in Europe, namely stating that European powers should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace.New York: As the UN General Assembly continues, President Trump met with the new leader of Syria, Ahmed Al-Sharq, where he is expected to be a focal point of this year's summit.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As a reminder, Ahmed Al-Sharq changed his name upon seizing power a few months ago. His previous name was Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, a high-ranking al-Qaeda commander from the Global War on Terror. Upon his AQ-linked militia group seizing power during the fall of the Assad regime, he changed

Are we alone, and if so can we have all the planets? Dear Cheap Astronomy – Alien diplomacy? A recent paper by John Gertz called Interstellar Diplomacy suggests some kind of contact with aliens is inevitable, which seems reasonable with respect to some kind of radio transmission, but the paper then goes on to suggest that contact might involve a robotic scout vehicle sent here from an a distant alien civilization, which seems somewhat less inevitable and then it descends into farce by further suggesting such scouts might have flown through our atmosphere already, you know like those UAP things that the US Airforce and NASA are investigating. Yikes.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – The ultraviolet habitable zone? Current lists of potentially life-bearing exoplanets are determined by them being in their star's circumstellar zone in which temperatures would allow liquid water to form – also known as the Goldilock's zone. The other main required feature is that they be rocky rather than gaseous, which is determined through measurement of the planet's mass and its likely size – so a large mass planet with a small diameter suggests a expecting to find life on planets and systems most like the Earth and the Sun, since we're assuming all life we automatically follow the one and only example that we know of.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 5.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and General Blaine Holt, US Air Force General, retired. China's Historical Revisionism and Autocratic Alliances Gordon Chang and General Blaine Holtdiscuss China's military parade, led by Xi Jinping, which falsely claims Chinese victory over Japan in WWII, omitting the US and Allied contributions. Holt views the parade as theater for a crumbling Belt and Road Initiative, not a united front. They note India's absence from the parade due to animosity with China. Despite appearances, Putin and Kim Jong-un also have underlying animosity towards Xi Jinping, making their alliance one of expediency, not unity. 1906
