Moon Trees

In 1971, a red-headed, tree-loving astronaut named Stu ‘Smokey’ Roosa was asked to take something to the moon with him. Of all things, he chose to take a canister of 500 tree seeds. After orbiting the moon 34 times, the seeds made it back to Earth. NASA decided to plant the seeds all across the country and then… everyone forgot about them. Until one day, a third grader from Indiana stumbled on a tree with a strange plaque: "Moon Tree." This discovery set off a cascading search for all the trees that visited the moon across the United States. Science writer, and our very own factchecker, Natalie Middleton (https://www.nataliemiddleton.org/) tells us the tale. Read Lulu’s remembrance of Alice Wong for Transom.org: 13 questions I’ll never get to ask Alice Wong (https://transom.org/2026/13-questions-ill-never-get-to-ask-alice-wong/). Check out Natalie’s map to find your nearest moon tree on our show page (https://radiolab.org/podcast/moon-trees)! Help us hunt for more moon trees. If you know of an undocumented moon tree, contact Natalie at nataliemiddleton.org. Check out Natalie’s essay on Moon Trees (https://orionmagazine.org/article/moon-tree/) and Space Zinnias (https://orionmagazine.org/article/astronaut-scott-kelly-flower-experiment-space/) in Orion Magazine (https://orionmagazine.org/).

What Are AI Data Centers Doing To Your Electric Bill?

Electricity bills are on track to rise an average of 8 percent nationwide by 2030 according to a June analysis from Carnegie Mellon University and North Carolina State University. The culprits? Data centers and cryptocurrency mining. Bills could rise as much as 25 percent in places like Virginia. Science writer Dan Charles explains why electric utilities are adding the cost of data center buildings to their customers’ bills while the data companies pay nothing upfront. Read the full June analysis here. To listen to more on the environmental impact of data centers, check out our two-part reported series: - Why the true water footprint of AI is so elusive - How tech companies could shrink AI's climate footprint Interested in how technology affects everyday life?

Can We Trust The Science Of Nutrition?

Professor Brian Cox and our expert panel dive into the complex world of diet, nutrition and food choices. With new probiotic and high-protein products appearing on supermarket shelves every day and conflicting nutritional advice coming from every direction, it’s difficult to cut through the noise when it comes to what we eat. Our panel uses expertise from their roles as nutritionists, geneticists, gastroenterologists and policymakers to answer audience questions about food advertising, wellness advice, and whether it’s really possible – or worthwhile – to avoid food ‘additives’. Panellists Giles Yeo – Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology, MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, University of Cambridge Christina Vogel – Professor in Food Policy and Director of the Centre for Food Policy, City St George’s, University of London Saliha Mahmood Ahmed – Gastroenterologist and MasterChef winner, 2017 Nita Forouhi – Professor of Population Health and Nutrition, MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge Watch the video version of this episode and read a transcript on our website: www.crick.ac.uk/podcast/nutrition A BBC Studios Production for the Francis Crick Institute.

Boring History For Sleep | Complete History. The Drug That Built Empires: Tobacco 🚬👑

🍃📜 Long before cigarettes, advertising, and warning labels, tobacco began as a sacred plant used in ritual, medicine, and ceremony. Over centuries, empires, traders, doctors, and corporations transformed it into one of the most powerful — and destructive — global industries in history. Its story touches exploration, colonialism, addiction, public health, and the slow realization that not every popular habit is harmless. Tonight, close your eyes and drift through the long, complicated history of tobacco — from ancient smoke to modern consequences — told calmly, carefully, and without judgment. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Plants, power, and the quiet weight of history. 💤

Was It a Spirit… or the Fear Itself? | After Midnight

Some fears don’t arrive with a reason. They don’t announce themselves with shadows or screams. They simply show up one day — and never quite leave. From his early teens, he carried a deep, unshakable dread of the dark. Not imagination. Not nerves. A feeling that something was closer than it should be. Watching. Waiting. After the loss of his mother, that feeling intensified, bleeding into his sleep, his thoughts, and the quiet moments when he was alone. Then others began to notice things too. Strange sounds in empty rooms. A presence that felt heavier near one particular closet. And most unsettling of all, a small child waking in terror, refusing to open his eyes because he believed something was watching him. Desperate for answers, he was given an explanation that changed everything — one that came with rules, warnings, and the terrifying idea that fear itself might be feeding whatever lingered nearby. This true story isn’t about a single haunted house or a moment caught on camera. It’s about what happens when belief, grief, and fear begin to blur together — and how difficult it becomes to tell where a real haunting ends and something far more personal begins. #TrueStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalExperience #FearInTheDark #OuijaBoard #PsychologicalHorror #Unexplained #TrueParanormal #HauntedLife #SleepFear #CreepyStories Love real ghost stories?

You 2.0: Stop Spiraling!

The start of a new year is a natural moment to set goals for ourselves. But doing so can also be a little daunting. Today, we kick off a series designed to help you understand and grapple with the mental obstacles that can keep you from charting a new path. We talk with psychologist Greg Walton, who studies how our minds get trapped in negative thought spirals — and how we can begin to break free. Then, in the latest installment of our segment "Your Questions Answered," psychologist and neuroscientist Abigail Marsh answers listener questions about the minds of extremely kind and generous people. If you enjoyed our conversation with Greg Walton, don't miss our companion conversation about the emotional tools we can use to help someone who's spiraling. You can listen to that episode with a free seven-day trial to our podcast subscription, Hidden Brain+. To sign up, go to support.hiddenbrain.org. Or if you're using an Apple device, you can go to apple.co/hiddenbrain. Thanks, and Happy New Year! Episode illustration by Getty Images for Unsplash+ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
