I am no longer producing new episodes of Deep Talk, but I hope you enjoy the 33 you have already. I am welcoming new language coaching clients, though. You can find out more on my website: https://www.rhiannonelt.com/coaching +++Today’s episode is a little bit different (because it’s episode THIRTY! and that’s super exciting!)I’m joined by Clare, my partner, and we chat about things we’ve listened to, read, and watched which we find interesting.It’s eclectic (read: all over the place!) and I hope you enjoy it.Here are Clare’s notes from the conversation:Whale Song: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/30/science/humpback-whale-songs-cultural-evolution.htmland just in case: https://www.bardeen.ai/posts/how-to-bypass-a-paywall and a very short videohttps://weather.com/science/nature/video/do-whale-songs-go-viral-just-like-pop-songs-do-for-humansRadiolabTwo of my all time favs from the archives:Los Frikis: How a group of 80’s Cuban misfits found rock-and-roll and created a revolution within a revolution, going into exile without ever leaving home. In a collaboration with Radio Ambulante, reporter Luis Trelles bring us the story of punk rock’s arrival in Cuba and a small band of outsiders who sentenced themselves to death and set themselves free.https://radiolab.org/podcast/los-frikisStranger in Paradise: Back in 1911, a box with a dead raccoon in it showed up in Washington D.C., at the office of Gerrit S. Miller. After pulling it out and inspecting it, he realized this raccoon was from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe, and unlike anything he’d ever seen before. He christened it Procyon minor and in doing so changed the history of Guadeloupe forever. Today we travel from the storage rooms of the Smithsonian to the sandy beaches of Guadeloupe, chasing the tale of this trash can tipping critter. All the while trying to uncover what it means to be special.https://radiolab.org/podcast/stanger-paradise And the one about the Seagulls:In the 1970s, as LGBTQ+ people in the United States faced conservatives whose top argument was that homosexuality is “unnatural,” a pair of young scientists discovered on a tiny island off the coast of California a colony of seagulls that included… a significant number of female homosexual couples making nests and raising chicks together. The article that followed upended the culture’s understanding of what’s natural and took the discourse on homosexuality in a whole new direction.https://radiolab.org/podcast/seagullsAnd lastly, Lulu Miller's debut novel is excellent, its called Why Fish Don't Exist:https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/50887097 And to these notes, I, Rhiannon, will add:Frank Film Club with Maisie Williamshttps://open.spotify.com/show/4ZpUr83bUP3JU5ggtNCd0z?si=444f576e367547f5The Rest is Politicshttps://open.spotify.com/show/1Ysx8g1Iw42gESAtegrFaH?si=1af8fa01cf4146c5H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonaldhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/H-Hawk-Helen-Macdonald/dp/0099575450Orca rams into yacht off Shetland in first such incident in northern waters || The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/21/orca-rams-yacht-off-shetland-first-such-incident-northern-watersEnjoy!!+++Join our Deep Talkers community on Patreon.
