Unwatchables with Marc & SethEp. 48 - Puppet Perversion (Meet The Feebles / Let My Puppets Come)Today we’re joined by Bob McCully from the film podcast Split Your Head to discuss two of the first films to violently tear up the notion that puppets are just for kids. Back when puppetry was mostly the domain of children’s entertainment, these movies brought enough graphic sex, drugs, and violence to traumatize any child unlucky enough to stumble upon them: Peter Jackson’s 1989 ultra-dark comedy MEET THE FEEBLES, and Gerard Damiano’s 1976 pornographic musical LET MY PUPPETS COME.

Lagrange PointEpisode 438 - Super fast and dense White Dwarfs and odd SupernovaWhat happens at the end of a star's life if it doesn't go out with a bang? White dwarfs are the end stage for 97% of stars, but can they still go 'nova? What happens if two white dwarf stars merge together?

There are many types of supernova, but which one happened at the Crab Nebula in 1054? What happens if a star isn't quite heavy enough to have an iron core supernova?

Biografi-poddenIda Tarbell
I dag har vi kommet til fjerde episode, og første kvinne, en virkelig foregangskvinne. Hun var en pioner for gravejournalistikken og en suksessrik forfatter. Hun var en kvinne forut for sin tid paa mange maater, men var likevel motstander av stemmerett for kvinner, noe som falt hennes egen mor tungt for brystet.
Hun vokste opp blant boretårn og oljebrønner i Pennsylvania, og arbeidet senere som en slags utenrikskorrespondent i Paris, og skrev bestselgere om Napoleon og Abraham Lincoln.
Hun er likevel mest kjent for at hun vingeklippet kanskje verdens mektigste mann, da hun a...2020-04-0630 min
