This is an iHeart Podcast.
Guaranteed human. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for The Office or something? I told him. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right? Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone.
I'm Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things. I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers to discuss the inner landscapes that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats so we too can better understand how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets.
He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move, and he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off, and that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I appreciate that. I be seeing it, but I'm like, man, I still got like so much more to do. Like Prince, he dropped like 30 albums. We dropped like five right now. That's the rate we got to be going. Yeah, that's a good attitude.

Chapter 2: What are the different types of bears in North America?
Yep. It's past time for the federal government to delist them and give states some management tools. Kill them back. Yeah, we've got to kill them back. This is what we do.
Eye for an eye for Florida man.
I was speaking to a scientist who studies human-bear interactions this week, and he referred to these as revenge killings. Yeah. Because they won't just kill. They often, in many instances, don't know which bear. Sometimes we can know the size of the bear, right, from the size of the jaws. Mm-hmm. There'll be kind of several bears. There are different sizes of jaws.
Things are distanced between the different teeth, stuff like this, right?
Right, like if one bear is like, if it's like a Jaws situation, like one bear just has it out for hikers. Sure, I guess go get him.
But that's not like... But that's not what's happening. Yeah, and they will end up killing a number of bears in an area when this stuff happens, right? It's just a revenge killing. So we're taking out like, we're taking out our anger on that species because they came after our species.
It seems like the problem is not that there's too many bears.
Yeah. That is correct, Molly. That is why we're here today. He seems to be positioning this as there's just too many bears. People just can't avoid the bears because there's so many bears. That is not the case. Millions of people every year visit the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and very few of them see a bear. And even fewer of them touch a bear. Yeah.
If you're touching a grizzly bear, it's a bad day for you. Unless, I guess, it has decided it wants to be touched.

Chapter 3: How do bear interactions impact safety in the wilderness?
Or, like, they wander onto the road and get hit, right? It's really, really, really horrible. Oh, I'm looking this up and I regret it. Google, make some otosis pictures at your own risk.
No, don't. Actually, don't.
Yeah, it almost looks like they have cataracts over their eyes. It's really, really horrible, right? But this is what happens when we continually try and mess with an ecosystem that has existed in harmony. And it changes based on inputs and changes in the climate, right? It's not like it's a fixed thing. It has shifted and changed through time, but it has found a balance. every time.
And then we come in and just keep pressing one side of the scale. This'll fix it. Yeah, this'll fix it. And more, but we just keep chucking more on there and wondering. Kill the bears back.
I just, I can't get over, that's just like a child's approach to things.
This is our policy, right? Like, OK, so let's talk about Zinke, right? Let's talk about the protections that he wants to take away. These protections were passed into law by the Endangered Species Act in 1973. And the Endangered Species Act lists grizzly bears in the lower 48 as threatened.
If you're not familiar with the ESA, it prevents you from hunting, harming or harassing listed species without a special permit.
Maybe he thought he's supposed to threaten them.
Yeah, like harass them. They're threatened. These are threatening animals.

Chapter 4: What are the ethical concerns surrounding wildlife encounters?
Like, I don't want to see a bear in a cage. It's undignified for the bear.
It's so sad for them in there.
Yeah, like, it's demeaning to me to see something demeaned for my entertainment in that fashion. Like, we can't comprehend animals outside of their habitat, I think. Like... Seeing a grizzly bear in Alaska trying to eat salmon or seeing a black bear in California doing its thing, having some berries like that's cool. And I want you all to have that.
I want your children and grandchildren to have that. And so, like, I think we should be very skeptical about people making safety based arguments about. for destroying our megafauna here. You'll hear it with wolves, right?
Chapter 5: How do safety arguments impact wildlife conservation?
You're hearing people doing it with cougars, which is absolutely ridiculous. Most of these animals will not bother you if you leave them alone. Yeah, and like if very occasionally people have been killed by cougars who are not bothering the cougar, right?
Very occasionally. You know, a freak accident doesn't justify destruction of an ecosystem.
People get killed by lightning, but we're not just killing clouds. People get killed by cars. We don't get bombing the Ford factory. I understand the desire to be safe, but like we will take away a lot of things that are really beautiful if we just want to be safe.
But again, we're controlling the wrong variables. If you're worried about people dying in unfair and terrible accidents, there are things we could talk about. There are policy decisions that could be made that would save thousands and thousands of lives.
Yeah, if you want people to be safe, then be concerned about free health care.
Bears have killed 66 people. I bet that many people died today from not being able to get their insulin.
Yeah, yeah, right.

Chapter 6: What role does community engagement play in union organizing?
Yeah, there's a perfect example, right? Like, if you want to keep people safe, then think about things that will keep them safe. And I think we can very easily keep people, bears safe. But the threat to the bears is us. That's it. The only other thing that kills bears really is other bears.
and so it's on us therefore to advocate right like uh the bears can't advocate for themselves luckily they had people who brought that court case in 2019 but like if we want to continue to enjoy the outdoors in the way that they are we need to stop randomly removing shit and uh bears are one of those things especially brown bears that it's very easy to whip up fear about but uh i think we should just leave them alone
I think we should be worried also of sort of anthropomorphizing them. Like I see this sometimes with people and animals. Like they don't exist for entertainment. They don't see the world in the way we do. And that's okay. They're animals. They have their own logic. We coexist with them. But like... It's not like a Disney animal.
It's an animal which goes about the world using its own logic, using its own understanding, trying to pursue its own ends for its own means. Nonetheless, it is a majestic thing to see on the landscape and something that we should take care that we don't let corporate interests and people who find it entertaining destroy.
I would love to see a bear.
Okay, we'll do that. We'll add that to our list, okay?
Yeah, take me to see a bear.
Yeah, I am going to take Molly camping. Maybe we'll go to Yellowstone area. I've never been. Have you not been to Yellowstone?
I've never been out west.

Chapter 7: What are the current economic conditions for ordinary Iranians?
I mean, at this point... I think anyone who can address serious economic as well as these moral issues like imperialism and the U.S. military is going to serve a better a better chance.
Yeah.
Because that is the situation we have we have found ourselves in.
Yeah. The Democratic National Committee. It's a bummer.
Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Yeah, a pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special.
So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it, and... Well, we were thinking of originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place.
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard. To get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.

Chapter 8: How is the Iranian regime using the current war situation?
I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets.
Just then, we felt the plane turn in the air, so much so that the bags that were under people's seats just kind of flew into the aisle. Each week, we dive headfirst into the complex power of secrecy.
how it shapes our identities and relationships, and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves.
My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything. And me pretending like everything was fine.
He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to It Could Happen Here. My name is Dan Al-Kurd. I'm a researcher and analyst of Arab and Palestinian politics. And today I'm joined by Dr. Nagar Razavi. She is a political anthropologist at the, I'm going to get this right, Musawwar Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at Princeton University.
And her work is on the role of think tanks in shaping U.S. security policies towards the Middle East and Iran specifically. And she's also a researcher and analyst of Arab and Palestinian politics. And I've recently had the pleasure of being at a symposium with Dr. Rosavi, and I thought she would be a really welcome viewpoint for our audience.
Thank you for joining us. Thanks so much for having me. So I think in regards to the war on Iran... There's been such a focus on the Strait of Hormuz and the economic impact of that, that conditions on the ground have really slipped from our radars. Like I don't see it as often. And I think I'm a very well-plugged in person. So can we start there?
Can you tell us more about the situation and what it's like for like the average Iranian right now?
