Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk about the 1987 film The Whales of August. The film stars legends Lillian Gish, Bette Davis, Ann Sothern, and Vincent Price. These stars had all aged but we talk about all of the great performances, the compelling story, and the beautiful cinematography of this unique film. We also talk about how  Gish and Davis bickered with each other during production. Click and listen!

Nearly seven kilometers beneath the Indian Ocean, a team of scientists went looking for hydrothermal vents — and found something else entirely. What they mistook, at first glance, for smoking chimneys turned out to be whale skulls: the opening of a necropolis stretching 1,200 kilometers across the sea floor, holding nearly 500 fossilized whales alongside active whale falls still teeming with life. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Xikun Song of the Institute of Deep-Sea Science and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the researchers behind this landmark discovery, newly published in Nature. Dr. Song walks us through the moment of realization on the submersible monitors, the physiology that may be driving deep-diving beaked whales to their limits, and why this site could rewrite what we know about whale evolution over the past 5.3 million years — with remains that may number in the millions, and roughly 6.7 million tons of sequestered carbon locked into the sea floor. He also shares the story in his own words — in Mandarin, with translation — describing the exact moment his team realized they'd found something extraordinary.

Six of Marineland's remaining beluga whales have been airlifted from the shuttered Niagara Falls attraction to new homes at U.S. aquariums — the first wave of an unprecedented rescue of 30 belugas the park says it can no longer afford to care for. Tamara speaks with Canadian Press reporter Liam Casey about how the move went down, what happens to the rest of the whales, and what Marineland's closure says about the future of animal attractions in Canada.

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robert Fjällsby kommer från Karlstad, kallar sig Rob Coffinshaker och har sedan nittiotalet spelat i massor av olika band. Mest kända är The Coffinshakers som gör country med skräcktexter. Med sin mörka, djupa röst frontar Rob också de gothmanglande grupperna Die Oberherren och Underground Fire (vars nya album "Hollow grounds" är ett måste för Sisters of Mercy-fans). Ibland spelar han även bas i doom metal-projektet Timothy Griffith's Psychedelic Sunrise och gitarr i Gehenna, det milt sagt konservativa metalbandet från Forshaga som gjort låtar om att slå ner alla som har tribaltatueringar och kort hår. I nya "Hemma hos Strage" pratar Rob om hur han upptäckte att han kunde sjunga som Johnny Cash, om när han tillsammans med bland andra Tobias Forge och Nifelheim startade organisationen Headbangers Against Disco, om när Whale snodde en av hans textrader, om att använda sitt eget blod som trycksvärta och om sin kärlek till ZZ Top, svampplockning och mördarballader.

Ella Hibbert (29), aka Ella in the Arctic, finished a record-breaking North West Passage solo last year. Now she is back at her boat to finish what she started: A circumnavigation of the Arctic, and she will be heading for the Northern Sea Route at the beginning of August.  Ella's Arctic expedition is officially endorsed by the Scientific Exploration Society and she is also part of The International SeaKeepers Society. You can, and you should follow her and support her. Check out Ella in the Arctic website. We have just released our Arctic Sailing Program, and it starts in mid-October with sailing with Whales and Northern Lights above 70 degrees North. Come join us for an experience you will never forget. Keen on sailing the Norwegian coast? You should be. Read Sail the Norwegian Coast: How and Why you should sail the most beautiful coast in the world – Kindle edition. If you need information about sailing in the high latitudes check out the book I wrote with Bob Shepton: High Latitude Sailing – Self-sufficient sailing techniques for cold waters and winter seasons.

Getting dialed in for bow season isn't just about buying a new bow or shooting a few arrows before opening day. It's about building a setup you trust, developing repeatable shooting form, understanding your equipment, and putting in the reps so you're ready when the opportunity finally comes. In this episode of the Okayest Hunter Podcast, we're joined by Dan from Whale-Tales Archery in Dousman, Wisconsin, for a deep dive into bow setup, archery form, tuning, equipment, practice, and what it really takes to become a more confident and ethical bowhunter. As Dan puts it, “Archery is a hobby. Bowhunting is the reward.” We break down what happens when someone walks into an archery shop looking to get into bowhunting—from choosing a compound bow and establishing a budget to getting draw length and draw weight right, selecting a release, building a consistent anchor point, tuning arrows, setting up a bow sight, and figuring out what actually matters versus what might be overthinking it. We also talk about one of the biggest variables in archery: the shooter. Perfect textbook form isn't always the answer. Repeatability and consistency matter, and learning how your shooting form, release, anchor point, elbow position, draw length, and equipment work together can make the difference between chasing problems and confidently stacking arrows. The conversation also dives into choosing between bow brands, buying your first bow, the risks and advantages of used archery equipment, crossbow hunting and the stigma that still surrounds it, ethical shot distance, understanding your personal limitations, and why being capable of shooting farther doesn't necessarily mean you should take that shot on an animal. Whether you're brand new to bowhunting, upgrading your compound bow, trying to tighten your groups, or getting your hunting setup ready for whitetail season, this episode is a reminder that better bowhunting starts long before you're sitting in a tree. Topics include compound bow setup, archery form, bow tuning, draw length, draw weight, releases, bow sights, arrows, shooting consistency, crossbows, ethical shot selection, bowhunting gear, practice, whitetail hunting, and preparing for deer season. If you're getting ready for bow season, now is the time to shoot your bow, learn your equipment, know your limitations, and get dialed in before the moment that matters.

Joy McCann is an environmental and public historian who has worked to understand and share the stories of how the histories of people, places, ideas and the non human world have and do interact to create the cultures, practices and rhythms of life on this planet. Her work and research has taken her across Australia and over the last decade she has explored the oceans, ice, islands and coastlands of the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in her latest book, ‘Heart of Ice; A Journey Into Antarctica's Frozen Realm'.I loved reading the book and speaking with Joy as both helped me realise how little I know about the ice continent, as well as its fascinating history. From the commencement of planetary glaciation around 34 million years ago to the fables and myths humans projected onto the great unknown southern land, to her own trip to the ice as well as the human history of exploration and discovery there. Considering its crucial role in creating and maintaining our planet's homeostasis the threats and perils it faces, and the rapid changes it has already undergone, are alarming to say the least. What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica, and its role in regulating climate and oceanic systems is fundamental for a stable globe.More than the threats and perils though, Joy's work is about understanding how we got to here, and by revealing the secrets of the past - the stories human's have and still do tell ourselves about ecosystems, place, other species and the planet in general - uncover deeply held values, bias, misalignments and emotions. In the Heart of Ice Joy shares myths about hidden monsters and something known as hollow earth theory about how humans accounted for what they didn't know hundreds of years ago, as well as how the economic invectives of the 18th, 19th and 20th century to plunder and massacre millions of whales, seals and penguins are still entirely present today. A history of separating humanity from the natural world holds strong today, and this book tells the stories of how our species perpetuated that on a continent thousands of kilometres away, across the most gruelling and dangerous ocean crossings on the planet, only to end up carving it up for resources and what could be taken from it for profit.Joy's work reveals the depths of our cultures and the strength of story passed on over generations. I hope she inspires you to consider the stories you tell yourself and others. Some extra reading relevant to this episode from our friends at Altiorem. Is the Atlantic Overturning Circulation Approaching a Tipping Point?What We Know About Deep-Sea Mining — and What We Don'tTurning the tide: How to finance a sustainable ocean recoveryCheck out Planet Protein and get 10% off when you sign up.Send me a messageThanks for listening.

July 21, 2026 - In response to increased collisions between boats and marine mammals off New York's coast, state lawmakers want better training for boaters to protect dolphins and whales. We discuss this issues with Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he and the U.S. president have agreed to intensify trade talks after Donald Trump threatened new tariffs — in possible violation of the free trade agreement. Carney spoke to premiers about what to do next… and cracks may be showing in Team Canada.And: The first group of beluga whales from Ontario's Marineland theme park have begun their journey to their new homes in the U.S. and Spain.Also: This year, summer isn't just sun and fun… it's also brought with it a sharp spike in outdoor recreation fatalities.

For centuries, the Bering and Chukchi seas have been some of the most productive basins in the world for feeding migrating whales and other marine species. But changes in sea ice cover and food availability are affecting the ocean ecosystem.

Fourteen years ago, Angus Growney realised he could game his own attribution model. He's spent every year since chasing numbers he can actually trust.That hunt is what brought Angus Growney to Bared, the podiatrist-founded Melbourne footwear brand where he leads performance marketing across a business that now does roughly 70% of its trade online and is expanding into the US and New Zealand. Alongside him is Zach Rego, Chief Revenue Officer at Triple Whale, who joined in 2022 as it launched the first-party pixel built to stitch conflicting platform numbers into one customer journey. Zach now calls Triple Whale the AI operating system for ecommerce, with more than 60,000 brands on it. Nathan recently onboarded Triple Whale for a client himself, so he brings his own reactions to the platform along the way. This isn't a story about finally cracking attribution. It's about what happens once you trust your data, when the work shifts from understanding the numbers, to making the decisions, to letting AI take the action.Today, we're discussing:Why trusting the data is harder than building the report, and the three months Bared spent in the warehouse before switching Triple Whale on.How Angus runs Australia, the US and New Zealand off one collated view, and the numbers he makes decisions on each week.What Triple Whale's first-party pixel and Moby actually do, explained plainly by Zach Rego.

Well, we finally got whales. Over 400 episodes, it was inevitable. Whales.

Can we teach dogs to express their needs better by pressing buttons? What about the studies trying to teach bonobos and other primates to communicate through buttons or signs? What have we learned about whale communication from the first-ever recording of a sperm whale birth? In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about how people use technology to try and enhance our communications with bonobos, dogs, and sperm whales. (Sorry, other animals, you'll need to wait for a future episode.) We talk about the crucial distinction in animal communication studies between "any communication at all" (yes) and "language the way humans do it" (no), how we can actually learn more by appreciating animal communication systems on their own terms, and how some kinds of tech are helping us do that. We also talk about the logistics of studying animal communication, including avoiding the Clever Hans effect, how ubiquitous recording technology has changed the game on whalesong in recent decades (but there's still lots of catching up to do), and an at-home study of over 10,000 dogs using buttons (they're still recruiting if you want to join!).

Is an Alaska cruise worth the hype? Dayna returns from a family sailing aboard Royal Caribbean's newly amplified Ovation of the Seas and shares everything you need to know before planning your own Alaska adventure. We cover the stunning train ride from Anchorage to Seward, sailing past Hubbard Glacier, whale watching in Juneau, meeting sled dogs and puppies in Skagway, searching for bears in Icy Strait Point and exploring Alaska's small port towns. Dayna also shares her honest thoughts on Ovation of the Seas, the best activities for families, whether you really need a balcony cabin, which excursions she would book next time and why you should prepare to spend more than expected on excursions, souvenirs and king crab. Whether you are considering a one-way Alaska cruise, comparing Royal Caribbean with Disney Cruise Line or wondering whether Alaska is a good destination for kids, this episode is packed with firsthand advice, practical planning tips and plenty of travel inspiration.

Most mobile UA teams think the algorithm is something you set and surrender to.Itai Kafri doesn't. He engineers the signal.Itai leads product growth at Voyantis, a predictive LTV and signal engineering platform for mobile apps. He has been in mobile user acquisition since before Meta introduced oCPM, back when advertisers controlled every bid manually. Since then, he has spent years figuring out what actually replaced that control.The answer is not the model. It is the signal strategy built on top of it.In this episode, Itai breaks down signal engineering for mobile UA: how to send predictive LTV signals to automated channels like Meta Advantage Plus, Google UAC, and TikTok in a way that actually moves performance. Why timing matters more than accuracy. Why the channel needs rank, not dollar precision. And the three questions every growth team should answer before investing in a predictive LTV media strategy at all.If you run paid user acquisition for a mobile app and you are thinking about PLTV, value-based bidding, or tROAS optimization, this episode is the most practical breakdown of signal engineering available.Video Chapters:  00:00 Introduction00:36 Pre-2014 vs post-2014: how automation changed acquisition02:42 The seven-day conversion window ceiling04:11 Why marketers and CFOs define a "good user" differently07:00 Predictions, confidence, and the timing tradeoff11:11 What actually feeds a prediction: the marathon analogy16:26 Why proxies like "level 5" break down17:42 How much data you need to build a model20:15 Value-based bidding and the accuracy misconception23:12 Managing outliers without breaking the strategy25:11 Real client story: Google Search Partners going haywire28:11 Whales vs outliers, and why hyper-whales backfire32:03 Signal engineering vs RTB34:05 User-level data, privacy, and reading the user mix back38:57 How Black Friday and seasonality hit signaling40:48 Why casual gaming is tricky for PLTV41:16 Three questions to ask before investing in a prediction model45:32 Where to find Itai and VoyantisTopics covered:- Signal engineering for mobile user acquisition- Predictive LTV and value-based bidding on Meta, Google, and TikTok- Confidence thresholds, latency trade-offs, and signal timing- How automated channels use signals: Advantage Plus, UAC, PMax- When D7 ROAS is already your best signal and PLTV will not move the needleLearn more:Episode Page : https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/how-to-win-with-signal-engineering-itai-kafri/Connect with Itai on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ekafri/Voyantis gap analysis - https://www.voyantis.ai/signal-engineering-gap-analysis

This week: two audio essays, on one big Iran cluster-frig. In the Collingwood corner: Donald Trump has become an unreadable politician. His credibility has burst through various levels of ‘madman theory' negotiating prowess, into a place where it may not even be clear to his most intimate subordinates where his true intent begins and ends. The result is that US policy is now a broken sail, flapping in the wind. Originally, America had four aims: dismantle Iran's nuclear programme, cap its missiles and drones, cut off its proxies, and change the regime. With nil-for-four, the window to credibly settle this beef is getting farther away – not closer. Meanwhile, chez Pilkington: The US now believes it can ‘print oil'. That the present attempt to jigger the markets by making use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and various ‘Whale of Hormuz' attempts to rig the options market are long-term sustainable. They are not, as Phil points out. What goes up must come down, and the slip-slide will not be pretty. Rather than a war of attrition, Pilko suggests, the oil price war has become the totality of conflict – a Baudrillardian quarrel over supremacy of a number – only secondarily underpinned by the drones and bombs of the Arabian Gulf.

A flop when published in the mid-nineteenth century, Moby-Dick has long been considered a quintessential American novel — an epic adventure story layered with allegory. In this episode, historian Michael Kimmage revisits the novel with a focus on the character Starbuck, the first mate who clashes with Captain Ahab over his mad pursuit of the white whale.

Alcee Fortier.     Compair Lapin went to get a very long and strong rope, then he got his drum and hid it in the grass. He took one end of the rope, and went to the elephant: “Mister, you who are so good and so strong. I wish you would render me a service; you would relieve me of a great trouble and prevent me from losing my money.”     The elephant was glad to hear such a fine compliment, and he said: “Compair, I shall do for you everything you want. I am always ready to help my friends.”     “Well,” said Lapin, “I have a cow which is stuck in the mud on the coast; you know that I am not strong enough to pull her out; I come for you to help me. Take this rope in your trunk. I shall tie it to the cow, and when you hear me beat the drum, pull hard on the rope. I tell you that because the cow is stuck deep in the mud.”     “That is all right,” said the elephant. “I guarantee you I shall pull the cow out, or the rope will break.”     Compair Lapin took the other end of the rope and ran towards the sea. He paid a pretty compliment to the whale, and asked her to render him the same service about the cow, which was stuck in a bayou in the woods. Compair Lapin's mouth was so honeyed that no one could refuse him anything. The whale took hold of the rope and said: “When I shall hear the drum beat I shall pull.”     “Yes,” said Lapin, “begin pulling gently, and then more and more.”     “You need not be afraid,” said the whale; “I shall pull out the cow, even if djabe were holding her.”     “That is good,” said Lapin; “we are going to laugh.” And he beat his drum.     The elephant began to pull so hard that the rope was like a bar of iron. The whale, on her side, was pulling and pulling, and yet she was coming nearer to the land, as she was not so well situated to pull as the elephant. When she saw that she was mounting on land, she beat her tail furiously and plunged headlong into the sea. The shock was so great that the elephant was dragged to the sea. “What, said he, what is the matter? that cow must be wonderfully strong to drag me so. Let me kneel with my front feet in the mud.” Then he twisted the rope round his trunk in such a manner that he pulled the whale again to the shore. He was very much astonished to see his friend the whale. “What is the matter,” said he. “I thought it was Compair Lapin's cow I was pulling.”     “Lapin told me the same thing. I believe he is making fun of us.”     “He must pay for that,” said the elephant. “I forbid him to eat a blade of grass on land because he laughed at us.”     “And I will not allow him to drink a drop of water in the sea. We must watch for him, and the first one that sees him must not miss him.”     Compair Lapin said to Bouki: “It is growing hot for us; it is time to leave.”     “You see,” said Bouki, “you are always bringing us into trouble.” This week in Louisiana history.

We're thinking about how when we do a reality tv show, we get suspended in time, and no matter how much we do in our lives we'll have to relive the same moments and have to defend ourselves over and over again. And we consider how that affects us. We get an update on the lady who married a *checks notes* ghost pirate (??). Apparently, things aren't going great. Sarah is excited all over again about birds that love to make video calls. We find out why the loneliest whale, Timmy, who beached and was stuck on the shore became a viral sensation and people who wanted to help probably made it worse. We learn about robotic tails (!) that are being used to help people who struggle with balance, but we aren't so sure it's worth the embarrassment of wearing a gee dee tail.00:00 - Defending Your Past Self from Reality TV14:42 - An Update on the Ghost Pirate Marriage Story25:51 - New Research Shows Birds Benefit from Video Calls31:11 - Well-Intentioned Humans and the Loneliest Whale36:22 - Dealing with Black Bears in Residential Areas43:26 - Japan's Robotic Tails for Balance and Stability50:54 - Personal Health Journey, Aging, and BMI MisconceptionsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off using code BRAINCANDYPOD on your next purchase.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.
