You cant rock this boat boys the anchor is too big...

Only one guy pulled the trigger, why go after the others? Guilt by association already landed too many (especially black) people in prison. If you're in a bad environment the BEST you can do is to only witness horrible crimes. More often than not you're forced to participate more directly.

Jerry Garcia on the Acid Tests

For nearly a century we've been trying to read someone's truthfulness by the way they act. Be it through machine, or our own intuition. The police have tried. The FBI has tried. The CIA has tried. But the fact is… most of their efforts just don't work.

Ep 2: Pants on Fire

With the advent of the Inkjet printer, counterfeiting money became as simple as a trip to Staples. By the year 2000, there were 72 million of these homemade dollars in circulation. The real question is… who was behind them all?

Ep 3:  The Buck Stops Here

There are plenty of things we don't share with our mothers. Dark, sad things. Unless of course, you're both in the business of death. 

Ep 4: Call Your Mom

Every year for the past few years, tens of thousand of flytraps have gone missing – from the wild, from gardens, from nurseries. And, really, nobody knows where they go. What’s cropped up in rural North Carolina is essentially a Venus Flytrap crime ring -- with lackies, middle men, and a mysterious end buyer who’s perpetuating the market. 

Ep 5: Dropping Like Flies

On April 13, 2014, former KKK member Frazier Glenn Cross pulled into a Jewish Community Center and ambushed a grandfather and grandson, killing both.  He then killed another woman a short distance away.  What does the family left behind do when they are thrust into a national spotlight? How do they figure out what to disclose and what should be private?

Ep 6: We Lost Them

In March 1964, a 35-year-old African American woman named Johnnie Mae Chappell was walking along the side of the road in Jacksonville, Florida. Four white men were driving around listening to the race riots on the radio. They had a gun on the dashboard. As they passed Chappell, one of the men leaned out the car window and shot her to death. As the police investigated the crime, evidence began to mysteriously disappear, making it impossible to punish the men who admitted to committing the crime.

Ep 8:  Can't Rock This Boat

Hanging in the garage of Fire Station #6 in Livermore, California, there’s a small, pear-shaped light bulb. It is glowing right now.
This lightbulb has been glowing, with just a couple of momentary interruptions, for 113 years. You can see it glow in real time.
The bulb is a genuine heirloom from the dawn of electric illumination, built by one of its pioneers: Adolphe Chaillet.

McDrafty's Last Ride

BLOOD

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Female Orgasm

Quel est le son emblématique du sexe ? Remontez cette braguette, rangez votre musique d'ascenseur, cessez de gratter cette culotte de soie... il s'agit du "han" propre à la pornographie - omniprésent sur nos écrans (en navigation privée, n'est-ce pas) mais aussi dans nos lits (vu la tendance contemporaine à se prendre pour des hardeurs). Que dit le "han", mais aussi, QUI dit le "han" - et pourquoi ? Grosses explications autour d'une petite onomatopée.
"Sexe & sounds", le podcast de Maïa Mazaurette tous les mardis sur ARTE Radio. 
Le sexe, tout le monde en parle - il paraît même qu'on en parle trop, et que ce serait du voyeurisme. Mais justement ! Parce que le voyeur utilise l'oeil, il a tendance à oublier l'oreille. Pour se réconcilier avec nos cinq sens, ARTE Radio propose chaque mardi "Sex & Sounds", le premier podcast dédié aux liaisons fructueuses entre plaisirs d'en-bas et sons d'en-haut. Des bruits du porno aux sextoys qui parlent, des langues de l'amour aux vibrations de nos jouets intimes, en passant par les mystères de l'ASMR et des musiques qui donnent envie... 
Réalisation : Samuel Hirsch - Texte & voix : Maïa Mazaurette - Illustration : Sjoerd van Leeuwen

Sex and sounds (n°1) : Premiers soupirs

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.
