Fifty-five years ago this very month, The Highway Commission (Devision? Whatever) of the State of Oregon had a really, really bad idea. An idea that never should have made it out of the room, but somehow, it did. And thank God, a reporter and a news crew got down there to capture the calamity in real time, and then the internet was invented, and youtube, and now we can all watch this whenever we want. And trust us, you want. Once thought to be the stuff of urban legend, we now know that, yes, they blew up a fucking whale. Emily also tries a strange snack, more nostalgic snacks are discussed, and there's a cat. Enjoy!

Whales don't get cancer as often as you might expect, and in this episode you learn how the bowhead whale's unique DNA repair system is helping scientists understand cancer prevention and healthy aging. This Arctic giant lives more than 200 years, grows to airplane size, and still avoids the runaway mutation patterns that lead to tumors in other species. Whales don't get cancer at high rates because their cells repair DNA damage with remarkable accuracy, and recent studies show that bowhead whales have powerful repair proteins like CIRBP that might someday guide cancer research. You will hear how this repair strategy works, why it matters for humans, and why protecting long-lived marine mammals also protects the scientific insights they carry.

Today's poem is A dead whale can feed an entire ecosystem by Rachel Dillon.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “To ask, “What can a poem do to help?” is to gesture toward a bigger question: “What can art do?” What can literature, or music, or film, or performance, or visual art do for us, particularly when we are struggling, individually and collectively? I think art can articulate the beauty and horrors of being alive. I think it can make people feel seen and understood, and therefore less alone. I think it can bear witness to what our planet is enduring.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week let's learn about some whales and dolphins, including an ancient whale and a mystery whale, all of them really small. Thanks to Alexandra, Eilee, and Jayson for their suggestions! Let's start with an ancient whale, suggested by Jayson. The genus Janjucetus has been known since its first species was described in 2006, after a teenage surfer in Australia discovered the fossils in the late 1990s. It grew to about 11 feet long, or 3.5 meters, and lived about 25 million years ago. So far it's only been found around Australia. But much more recently, just a few months ago as this episode goes live, a new species was described. That's Janjucetus dullardi, also found in Australia along the same beach where the first Janjucetus species was found, and dating to around the same time period. We don't know a lot about the newly described whale, since it's only known from some teeth and partial skull. Scientists think the individual was a juvenile and estimate it was only around 6 feet long when it died, or 2.8 meters. Small as it was, it would have been a formidable hunter when it was alive. Its broad snout was shaped sort of like a shark's and it had strong, sharp teeth and large eyes. Because it was an early whale, it wouldn't have looked much like the whales alive today. It might even have had tiny vestigial back legs. Its eyes were huge in proportion to its head, about the size of tennis balls, and it probably relied on its eyesight to hunt prey because it couldn't echolocate. Its serrated teeth and strong jaws indicate that it might have hunted large animals, but some scientists suggest it could also filter feed the same way a crabeater seal does. Modern crabeater seals have similar teeth as Janjucetus, as do a few other seals. The projections on its teeth interlock when the seal closes its mouth, so to filter feed the seal takes a big mouthful of water, closes its teeth, and uses its tongue to force water out through its teeth. Amphipods and other tiny animals get caught against the teeth and the seal swallows them. If Janjucetus did filter feed, it probably also hunted larger animals. Otherwise its jaws wouldn't have been so strong or its teeth so deeply rooted. But Janjucetus wasn't related to modern toothed whales. While it wasn't a direct ancestor of modern baleen whales, it was part of the baleen whale's family tree. Baleen whales, also called mysticetes, have baleen plates made of keratin instead of teeth. After the whale fills its mouth with water, it closes its jaws, pushes its enormous tongue up, and forces all that water out through the baleen. Any tiny animals like krill, copepods, small squid, small fish, and so on, get trapped in the baleen. It's just like the crabeater seal, but really specialized and way bigger. Whether or not Janjucetus could and did filter feed doesn't really matter, because the fact that it's an ancestral relation of modern baleen whales but it had teeth helps us understand more about modern whales. Next, Eilee wanted to learn about the Benguela [BEN-gull-uh] dolphin, also called Heaviside's dolphin. It lives only off the southwestern coast of Africa, and it's really small, only a little over 5 and a half feet long at the most, or 1.7 meters. It's dark gray with white markings,
Prime Minister Mark Carney's government faced a crucial test — with a vote on their budget. Despite drama throughout the day, the government's economic plan for the country passed. 170 MPs voted in favour of the budget; 168 voted against. Passage of the budget ensured that the country did not face the possibility of a snap election.And: Death rates from cancer continue to fall in Canada as fewer people are dying of lung and colorectal cancer. But one type of cancer is not seeing the same drop, and the extra tragedy is — it's preventable. We'll look at what's happening with cervical cancer.Also: The plan for North American's first-ever whale sanctuary is making waves. Some in the small oceanside community along Nova Scotia's eastern shore are in support of the project, but a handful of landowners say it's moving forward without their consent.Plus: Trump's about-face on Epstein files, UK government's plans to overhaul asylum rules, and more.
Look here listeners, podcasts come and go, but the chance to talk about Hartford . . . The Whale? You only get to do one of those episodes maybe once or twice in a lifetime. And lucky you, tonight is one of those nights and we're talkin' about the 1985-86 Hartford Whalers! Considered by most to be the most successful season in club history, the squad was lead by names like Ron Francis, Ray Ferraro, Sylvain Turgeon and Kevin Dineen, plus not one but two (!!!) Babych brothers and the steady Mike Luit between the pipes! The dispatched the division winning Nordiques in three straight, the only playoff series victory in franchise history, before losing to the Habs in the Adams final in 7 games.In period two we talk about the suddenly inconsistent Winnipeg Jets, talk about the injury bug that seems to be biting everyone and dip our toes into international waters with a little Team Canada chatter.In the third, we've got a brand new sponsored segment for ya, plus another Score pack attack, and maybe a GLH update for you if you play your cards right!

Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the wonders of science on this week’s Science Weekly! This episode plunges us deep beneath the waves as we uncover how dolphins and other ocean animals manage to hold their breath for astonishing lengths of time. Then, we shift from sea to psychology as Battle of the Sciences takes us inside the human mind to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can shape our physical health. In Science in the News, Australian tropical rainforests have shocked scientists by releasing more carbon than they absorb. We’re also heading to Wales, where plans for a ground-breaking nuclear power station are underway. And Barny Reed from the RSPCA joins Dan to explain how the UK is moving toward more humane animal testing. Then it’s over to your questions! Misha wants to know how braces work, and Alison Wood from Whale and Dolphin Conservation reveals how dolphins hold their breath for so long. Dangerous Dan returns with the grolar bear, a rare hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear. And in Battle of the Sciences, Mark McDermott champions health psychology, showing how the way we think and feel can affect our bodies. Plus, Marina Ventura dives back in with another Ocean Adventure, exploring how oceans help humans survive and thrive. This week, we learn about:– How dolphins stay underwater for so long– Why some rainforests are releasing carbon– How braces straighten teeth– What makes the grolar bear so unusual– How psychology affects your health All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What starts as a tale of two outcast sisters quickly spirals into a blood-soaked exploration of transformation, identity, and the brutal side of growing up and growing apart.We're talking werewolves, womanhood, and why Ginger Snaps still stands as one of the most honest and gnarliest depictions of teenage horror ever made.It's moody, messy, and magnificently macabre...just how we like it.Timestamps5:21 - Negronomicon14:41 - Crit1:04:50 - Final CurlsGems from Ep. 114The Mummy (1999)The Mummy Returns (2001)Scream 5 (2022)Scream VI (2023)Ready or Not (2019)The Family Plan (2023)The Family Plan 2 (2025)The Deliverance (2024)The Whale (2022)Rental Family (2025)The Mummy (2017)The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)Twilight (2008)Romeo Must Die (2000)Paper Mario (2001)The Mummy (1932)Frankenstein (2025)Frankenstein (1931)Ginger Snaps (2000)Trick r' Treat (2007)She's the Man (2006)Freddy vs. Jason (2003)American Mary (2012)Carrie (2002)Carrie (upcoming, television series)Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)Final Destination 3 (2006)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)Smallville (2001)Edward Scissorhands (1990)Pleasantville (1998)The Monstrous Feminine (Barbara Creed, Routledge, 1993, Print)Being Human (2008, television series)Van Helsing (2004)An American Werewolf in London (1981)Jennifer's Body (2009)Heavenly Creatures (1994)Yellowjackets (2021, television series)Cube (1997)Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (2013, video game)Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (2024, video game)Support the show
It's time to take a splash in the sea with five fun and fascinating fast facts about marine mammals, an interview with Dr Vanessa Pirotta, a wildlife scientist who knows a lot about whales, and there's a warm-blooded blubber activity for you to try yourself at home. Presented by Jenny Lynch and Matilda Sercombe. Written and produced by Jenny Lynch. Music by Purple Planet Music. Sound effects by Pixabay. Creative Science: https://www.creativescience.com.au Facebook: @creativescienceaustralia Instagram: @creative_science_australia Episode content: 00:00 Introduction and fast facts 03:49 Dugongs and manatees 04:31 Interview with Dr Vanessa Pirotta 11:06 Blubber fingers activity Dr Vanessa Pirotta: https://www.vanessapirotta.com/ Books by Dr Vanessa Pirotta: ‘The Voyage of Whale and Calf', ‘Oceans at Night', ‘Humpback Highway' Blubber fingers activity instructions: Marine mammals have lots of special adaptations to help them survive in the sea. One of these adaptations is whale blubber, which is a layer of fat that keeps warm-blooded whales warm in cold ocean water. You will need: a bowl, cold water from the fridge, ice cubes, two disposable gloves, a spoon, and some soft butter or margarine. If you don't have any disposable gloves, try using two small plastic bags instead. This activity is pretty messy, so do it next to a sink, with soap and warm water ready for washing your hands at the end. Fill the bowl with cold water and add some ice cubes to the water to make it really cold. Scoop 2 big spoonfuls of soft butter or margarine into one of the disposable gloves and squeeze the butter or margarine down into the fingers of the glove, pushing any air bubbles out of the fingers. Put the other glove on one of your hands first. Put the glove filled with butter or margarine on your other hand and make sure your fingers are covered with the butter or margarine. Carefully place the fingers of both of your hands into the ice-cold water. Try to keep your fingers in the water for at least 2-minutes, but take them out of the water if they feel too cold. What do you notice? Your buttery fingers should last longer in the water because the butter is protecting your fingers from the icy cold water. Heat energy always moves from a warm object to a colder object and the butter is acting as an ‘insulator' because it slows down the movement of heat energy out of your fingers. A lot of cold-climate animals have blubber. Seals, whales, and polar bears, all have a layer of blubber to stop them losing too much heat from their bodies.
In this episode, Phil and JF are joined by independent scholar Peter Bebergal, author of Strange Frequencies, Season of the Witch, and other books on the intersections of culture, religion, and the occult. The topic is Frankenstein—not Guillermo del Toro's latest but James Whale's 1931 talkie along with its 1935 sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein, both starring Boris Karloff. The conversation touches on Gnosticism, alchemy, modern techno-hubris, the Gothic, and much more. Peter's new online course, Hacking the Invisible: At the Intersection of Technology and Magic, begins on November 20th, 2025, and runs for three weeks on Weirdosphere.

Waterworld (1995) — the post-apocalyptic epic where Kevin Costner grows gills, drinks his own pee, and still manages to look vaguely heroic.

With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing (JHU Press, 2025), bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone and there are no listeners nearby? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats--echolocating--which enables them to see their world with sound. By incessantly streaming sounds while listening closely to the returning echoes, whales may be actively tuning their brains in ways that allow them to monitor the movements of silent whales located miles away. Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.

Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone and there are no listeners nearby? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats--echolocating--which enables them to see their world with sound. By incessantly streaming sounds while listening closely to the returning echoes, whales may be actively tuning their brains in ways that allow them to monitor the movements of silent whales located miles away. Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.

The sei whale is one of the largest creatures on Earth. Adults can be more than 60 feet long and weigh as much as a fully loaded semi—the third-largest of all whales. And they're found across the world, in all but the warmest and coldest waters. Yet they're poorly known, by the public and scientists alike. The sei whale—spelled S-E-I—gets its name from a Norwegian name for pollock, a cod-like fish. The name was bestowed because the fish and whales showed up at the same time of year. Sei whales have rows of structures made from the same material as teeth and hair, known as baleen. The baleen filters plankton and tiny fish and squid from the water—about two tons per day. Much about sei whales remains mysterious. In part, that's because they live mainly in the deep ocean, away from shore. We know they're usually alone or in small groups, and they can race at more than 30 miles an hour for short distances. But much of their life cycle is poorly understood. Whalers killed a quarter of a million sei before the practice was banned. Recent population estimates range from perhaps 50,000 whales to as many as 80,000. The whales face many threats. They can be hit by ships or entangled in fishing nets. And the warming climate can kill or displace their prey, forcing the whales to change their foraging and breeding grounds. Biologists are trying to find out more about this reclusive giant to better understand how it's adapting to the environment. The post Sei Whales appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

Is it possible to survive inside a whale for 3 days and 3 nights? Critics often claim the biblical story of Jonah is scientifically impossible, but what if there’s more to it? In this episode, William P. Cheshire, M.D., a neurologist and professor, offers a scientific analysis of the biblical story. He discusses what modern whale research reveals, whether science and faith are truly in conflict, and how we can make sense of the story of Jonah today.

Bitcoin faces renewed selling pressure as whales unload over $4.5 billion in positions, triggering massive liquidations across crypto markets. At the same time, the Federal Reserve injected $50 billion into the U.S. economy to prevent a potential credit crunch, highlighting growing financial instability. With Bitcoin sliding toward key support near $100K and risk assets turning lower, investors are asking whether this marks the start of a deeper correction or a setup for the next major move.
