Episode #295: Back from Harvest - Listener Communications - Live

Harvest was crazy this year, over 30 tons of grapes, but it's all fermented and in barrels or tanks at this point. Hopefully we are almost back to a regular podcasting schedule. We returned with a live show, talking about the winemaking process and showing some videos, then reading and responding to listener emails.

Episode #294: Drilling for Ashes - with Dr. Joanne Ballard

We met Dr. Ballard at the Cosmic Summit, and decided we'd love to have her on the podcast to discuss her work. She is a Geologist and Biogeographist, and a member of the Comet Research Group. She became interested in the YDIH and started drilling lake cores looking for evidence of biomass burning. She joins us this episode to discuss her background, her interest in the YDIH, and her related field and lab work, as well as some of her current interests and possible future projects.

Episode #293: Listener Communications - Live

Harvest time is here, busy season for us, but we're still trying to catch up on your emails! Laura joins us in studio for this live-to-youtube episode of Listener Comms. We read a bunch of interesting and funny emails, and get into a long conversation about the "end of the world", and how we think about it. What are the ways the world could be destroyed? Do we think about the destruction of civilization, or a huge extinction level event? How do you survive? Do you want to survive?

Episode #289: Unfinished - Mysteries of the Megaliths

(The first half of the show is the presentation Russ will be delivering at the Cosmic Summit. It is heavy on the visuals, if you want to skip past it to the discussion, go to 1:20:30)   We've been condensing and refining this presentation in preparation for the Cosmic Summit, and we wanted to publish it here before it is given at the Summit. Some of you will have seen/heard some of this material before, as we went through it in a much less refined form in Episode 243. But this version is much more concise, and it has new observations as well as some helpful diagrams. It definitely relies on the visuals, however, so be sure to watch the YouTube version! (there will be a link here as soon as the video is ready)   SnakeBros Affiliate link for Cosmic Summit livestream tickets: https://www.howtube.com/brothersoftheserpent
