Fairy tales have a reputation for being conventional, and many of the most famous fairy tales appear, on the surface at least, to be just that. Tales like Cinderella and Snow White famously end with dazzlingly beautiful girls marrying princes, and others, like Jack and the Beanstalk, reward boys for their bravery and brashness with wealth and power. However, beginning as early as the 1970s, feminist fairy-tale scholars have pointed out tales and readings that complicate those conventions, and now researchers and writers are expanding on these beginnings to explore fairy tales' queer possibilities. Once "queer" used to mean strange or eccentric, later wielded as a slur against homosexuality and eventually reclaimed by activists and scholars, the word "queer" can simply mean different than expected. Folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, and y Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha.

Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than 30,000 years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward-looking eyes and gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Scientists have only recently begun to understand in deep detail the complex nature of these extraordinary avians. Some 260 species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active in the dark of night. Our guest today, Smithsonian Associate Jennifer Ackerman, author of the New York Times bestseller The Genius of Birds, pulls back the curtain on the nature of the world's most enigmatic birds as she explores the rich biology and natural history of owls and examines remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior. Jennifer Ackerman has been writing about science, nature, and health for three decades. Her work aims to explain and interpret science for a lay audience and to explore the riddle of humanity's place in t Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha.

When we stop to think about voting and how we decide. Today's guest, Dr. Arthur Lupia is the Gerald R Ford Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan. His research clarifies how people make decisions and form or break coalitions in complex political environments. Dr. Lupia will help us understand the persuasive nature of endorsements, which are apparently often so persuasive and may even do more harm than good, defeating their impact and damaging credibility. Dr. Lupia will tell us today about How political endorsements influence voters' perceptions and decision-making processes during elections, what factors contribute to the credibility of a political endorsement, and will share evidence that when a publication whose credibility comes from science decides to politicize its content, it can damage that credibility. Let me set the stage briefly: In 2020, Nature Magazine, a highly respected science publication, not political but subject to influence, endorsed Joe Biden in the US presidential election.
