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.…

Mempathy is a podcast about dementia-related memory loss, hosted by Professor Catherine Loveday, a memory expert who has spent the last 12 years putting her research into practice to support her own mum.

People with memory loss can sometimes sound very sure about something that you know can't be true, for example being convinced that a relative hasn't visited recently, or simply insisting on something having happened that can't have done. In this episode we look at different examples of when this happens, and then explore the memory mechanisms that underlie the issue. As always we offer some evidence-based suggestions for how to respond so that everyone wins.…

The first Mempathy episode deals with sleep disruption in people with dementia-related memory loss. Our question from the public was “ My friend’s mum has dementia and seems to have no concept of what time of day it is. She is becoming nocturnal, sometimes goes to bed at 6am etc. This causes lots of problems! ” In this episode, Professor Catherine Loveday and Sonia Beldom speak about their own experiences of managing nocturnal mums. They then discuss the science underlying sleep, which explains why these problems happen (and in fact is helpful for any of us who may struggle with sleep sometimes). Catherine offers some tried and tested evidence-based tips for getting things back on track.…
