Long Friday

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

Working as a reporter for a TV station in New Hampshire, Kevin Flynn was covering the capture and arrest of a female serial killer named Sheila LaBarre. As he grew more and more obsessed with LaBarre's story, Flynn decided to write her a letter. She wrote back. Their correspondence became flirtatious, and eventually he went to visit her in person.

Ep 10: Dear Sheila

So, this idea came about when I (and others)couldn't find anywhere to put our caravans... very much a first draft, better recording to come, but since finding out caravan is gone I'm wondering if she's off finding her own convoy... Let me know if you see her...

Mapping Your Relationship Through Email

Are some ice creams “meltier” than others? This is a question that Maya Warren, an ice cream expert and Ph.D. candidate in food science, explores at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Despite the simple sweetness of a scoop of ice cream, this frozen dairy product has a complicated microstructure. And this complex combination of air cells, ice crystals, and fat globules—to name a few constituents—affects the way in which different kinds of ice cream melt and collapse.

Total Meltdown: The Rate of Ice Cream Collapse

Mountains of ice, some 11,000 feet tall. A gorge five times deeper than the Grand Canyon. And active, young surfaces, barely pockmarked by craters. Those are just a few of the surprising features that the New Horizons spacecraft beamed back this week, after its flyby of Pluto and its moons. Cathy Olkin, deputy project scientist for the mission, says Pluto and Charon are far different than she imagined, revealing an unexpected, puzzling variety of terrains. “Welcome to the outer solar system,” she says. Olkin joins Jim Green, NASA’s head of planetary science, to discuss the latest findings.

Speaker(s): Professor Tariq Ramadan | In our globalised world, pluralism is a fact and equality, a hope. We need to start with the basic statement reminding every one of us that we are all equal and we should be treated with the same dignity, whatever our gender, our colour, our religion or our social status. This is elementary, yet forgotten day in, day out. Tariq Ramadan (@TariqRamadan) is a Swiss academic, philosopher and writer. He is Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University, a Senior Research Fellow at St Antony’s College (Oxford) and Doshisha University (Kyoto, Japan); Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Islamic Studies, (Qatar); Director of the Research Centre of Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) (Doha, Qatar), President of the think tank European Muslim Network (EMN) in Brussels and a member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars. His research interests include the issues of Islamic legislation, politics, ethics, Sufism and the Islamic contemporary challenges in both the Muslim-majority countries and the West. He is active at both academic and grassroots levels. Craig Calhoun (@craigjcalhoun) is Director and President of LSE. He is a world-renowned social scientist whose work connects sociology to culture, communication, politics, philosophy and economics.

Kobena Mercer, professor, history of art and African American studies, Yale University.
Kobena Mercer’s art criticism has illuminated the aesthetic innovations of African American, Black British, and Caribbean artists. In his new book, Travel & See: Black Diaspora Art Practices Since the 1980s, he reflects on the transformative impact of artists such as Renée Green, Isaac Julien, Kerry James Marshall, and Yinka Shonibare. In this lecture, recorded on June 5, 2016 at the National Gallery of Art, Mercer discusses his publication and the future prospects of the critical discourse of hybridity and transculturation that diaspora artists have brought to debates on identity and diversity in our time.
