30:55

A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

The Mincing Rascals 5.14.25: Pope Leo XIV, Qatari jet, Biden’s decline

for 1 day siden

—

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn , Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel , political pundit Marj Halperin , and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys ! This week, the Rascals start the podcast talking about their favorite story, meme, etc. about Pope Leo XIV. Are we pope’d out yet? As usual, plenty of news about the Trump administration this week. The gift of the plane from Qatar, the attempt to assert control of the Library of Congress, Trump meme coin. What’s an attraction and what’s a distraction? Former Chicago resident Ken Griffin said he will loan his copies of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. John wonders if the current Constitution as written is still a relevant document. CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson from Axios are making news this week as excerpts from their book about President Biden’s decline are starting to come out. What do the Rascals make of these stories about Biden’s competency and behavior? And will we eventually hear similar stories about Donald Trump when his term is over? In a couple of interviews this week, Mayor Brandon Johnson is still denying he fired Dr. Allison Arwady despite evidence to the contrary. Why is Johnson still saying Dr. Arwady quit? And now that Johnson is two years in, what are the major takeaways from his term so far. And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week? https://serve.castfire.com/audio/7417533/5-14-25_Mincing_Rascals_Pope_Leo_XIV_Trump_Qatar_Ken_Griffin_Biden_book_Mayor_Johnson_Arwady_2025-05-14-234333.64kmono.mp3 Recent Posts The Mincing Rascals Pope Leo XIV, Qatari jet, Biden’s decline .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Senate race, George Ryan, Alcatraz, movie tariffs .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Trump 100 days, Durbin’s successor, Amazon tariffs .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Durbin retiring, Pritzker’s future, economic turmoil .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Teen curfew, homeschool bill, Kilmar Ábrego García .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Click for more…
