Spirited Queen Mary, Part One | The Grave Talks

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Queen Mary is one of the most famous ocean liners ever built—a ship that carried royalty, celebrities, soldiers, and travelers through some of the most important moments of the twentieth century. From luxury voyages to wartime service transporting thousands of troops across dangerous waters, her legacy on the high seas is unmatched. But over the decades, another reputation began to follow the legendary vessel. Visitors, former crew members, and paranormal investigators have reported unexplained activity throughout the ship for generations. Shadow figures appear in empty hallways. Voices echo through abandoned sections of the liner. Guests report encounters with spirits tied to tragic accidents, sudden deaths, and the ship’s long and complicated history. Researcher and author Nicole Strickland joins us to discuss her book, Spirited Queen Mary, Her Haunted Legend, and the chilling experiences that convinced her the Queen Mary may truly be one of the most haunted places on earth. For more information about Nicole, visit her website, nicoledstrickland.com.

Whatever You Do, Don't Look | Real Ghost Stories CLASSIC

She was just beginning to wake in the early morning light when she became aware of something beside her bed. Whatever it was, she could feel its presence—and something about it seemed terribly wrong. Before she could turn to look, an agonizing sensation shot through her body, leaving her convinced she was about to die. Then came a warning, not spoken aloud but somehow heard inside her mind. Whatever she did, she must not look toward the thing beside her. As the terrifying experience continued, another message seemed to offer a way out. And when she followed it, everything stopped. Was this an especially frightening episode of sleep paralysis, or had she encountered something that didn't want to be seen? Fifteen years later, she still wonders what was beside her bed that morning. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #SleepParalysis #UnseenPresence #ParanormalEncounter #NighttimeTerror #ShadowEntities #ParanormalAttack #UnexplainedExperiences #SupernaturalEncounters #TrueGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Hank Green: What No One Tells You About the Algorithm

Hank Green is one of the most beloved science creators on the interwebs. He’s been making videos for almost 20 years, spanning LOTS of eras of the Internet, from YouTube prank videos to TikTok dance challenges to AI slop. In this episode, Wendy sits down with Hank to talk about this wild ride. They reminisce about his path to YouTube stardom, and they’ll pull back the curtain on social media algorithms — how they’ve changed, and the sneaky ways they draw us in. And while Hank has been publicly fighting off internet trolls, he’s also been dealing with his own personal battle with cancer. He takes us through what’s changed for him since he got diagnosed, and the science he learned about pee and chemotherapy along the way. Find our transcript here: https://tinyurl.com/ScienceVsHankGreen In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Hank Green’s journey to YouTube (06:26) How ‘going viral’ has completely changed (11:58) How social media captures your attention (23:47) What Hank is and isn’t worried about with AI (29:33) Hank’s cancer diagnosis (37:45) The fracturing of communication (40:46) Oddball questions Credits This episode was produced by Wendy Zukerman and Ekedi Fausther-Keeys, with help from Michelle Dang, Rose Rimler, and Meryl Horn.

The Invisible Rules of Time: Language and Behavior (With Keith Chen)

Think about the habits that define your day-to-day life—how you manage your money, look after your health, or tackle your to-do list. You might assume they reflect your personality or upbringing. But what if they’re actually shaped by the language you speak? In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, explore how subtle linguistic shifts can change the way you make decisions—and bridge the gap between who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow. We travel to a unique cultural crossroads tucked high in the Alps of northern Italy. Marc Röggla, head of the European nonprofit Center for Autonomy Experience, shares the gripping history of South Tyrol—a region where political borders were redrawn overnight after World War I. He shares how his grandfather's generation risked their safety in secret, candlelit "catacomb schools" to keep their German mother tongue alive under fascist oppression—setting the stage for a surprising study on how children in the exact same region process time and temptation today. Then, Katy speaks with UCLA behavioral economist Keith Chen about his foundational research demonstrating how "future-less" languages (like German or Mandarin) can erase the mental distance between now and later. They discuss how these tiny quirks in grammar alter decisions around saving, smoking, and exercise—and how you can trick your brain into better choices, no matter what language you speak.

David Canter on how psychology can save lives and catch killers

Although books and movies might suggest otherwise, catching criminals is of course less about hunches and gut instinct, and more about gruelling analysis of hard data - including when it comes to the psychological side. David Canter is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, who took exactly this approach in the 1980s when he was asked to help police track down a serial killer. David had built his reputation as an environmental psychologist, studying how people behave in emergency situations and even advising the government on how to prevent disasters in football stadiums. But when he was asked to apply his unique methodology to help track down a serial killer and rapist, he realised that data-driven analysis of a suspect's behavioural patterns could be invaluable to any investigation. David tells Jim Al-Khalili about how he founded the field of investigative psychology - and went on to advise on major criminal investigations, write award-winning books and even make time to pursue a parallel life as a composer. Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor A BBC Studios production

Sunscreen: Could It Be Toxic??

Sunscreen is supposed to protect us from dangerous stuff like cancer, but all over social media, people are saying that we’ve been getting it all wrong. We’re being told that our sunscreen is full of toxic chemicals, that wearing it could mess with our vitamin D levels — even that sunscreen itself actually increases our risk of skin cancer. So, what can the science tell us here? Should we toss our SPF-filled creams and sprays in the bin?? And could the answer here be different depending on your skin tone? We talk to researchers Dr. Brandon Adler, Prof. Rachel Neale, and Dr. Adewole Adamson to find out. Find our transcript here: https://tinyurl.com/ScienceVsSunscreen In this episode, we cover: (00:00) The internet freak-out over sunscreen (05:06) Is sunscreen toxic? (20:46) Does sunscreen mess with vitamin D? (29:29) Does sunscreen work to prevent skin cancer? (34:40) Do people with darker skin need sunscreen? (44:38) How to wear sunscreen correctly This episode was produced by Michelle Dang, with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler and Ekedi Fausther-Keeys. We’re edited by Blythe Terrell.
