Bay Curious - Do Preserved Bodies Dwell in Lake Tahoe’s Depths?! The Truth Behind Tahoe’s Myths

Lake Tahoe is the backyard playground for many in the Bay Area, so earlier this year we asked the Bay Curious audience what questions they had about this recreational hot spot. We collaborated with TahoeLand, a podcast from Capital Public Radio, to answer them!

– Are there dead bodies at the bottom of the lake?

– What’s the story behind Tahoe Tessie?

– What does it mean to keep Tahoe blue?

– Why is keeping Tahoe blue important?

Science In Action - Drought likely to follow India’s floods

India has experienced some of the worse monsoon weather in years, but despite the extreme rainfall climate models suggest a drought may be on the way, with higher than average temperatures predicted for the months following the monsoon season.

We also hear warnings over the state of the world’s aquifers, with water levels in many places already low enough to affect ecosystems.

We examine the consequences of two historic eruptions. How Indonesian volcano Tambora changed global weather and why papyrus scrolls blackened by Italy’s Vesuvius can now be read again.

And from Australia the discovery of a new species of pterosaur in Queensland.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Immunisation shot? The case against Binyamin Netanyahu

Political deadlock in Israel is now inextricably intertwined with a case against the prime minister. An eventual coalition could provide him with immunity, or could seal his political fate. The signature social reform of Emmanuel Macron, France’s president, faces furious opposition—but it might be even more risky for him not to pursue it.

The Daily Signal - The Gospel of Marx: A False Religion Explained

Karl Marx once called religion the opium of the people—an imaginary coping mechanism that makes suffering in this world more bearable. His vision was a secular, atheistic one. But my guest today argues Marx’s vision was still intensely spiritual. In fact, he says Marx hijacked key themes from Christianity to create a false religion. Today, Bruce Ashford, dean and provost of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins the podcast.

We also cover the following stories:

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders receives heart surgery after chest discomfort
  • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calls for religious freedom around the world at Vatican symposium
  • Plaintiff to appeal after federal judge sides with Harvard in discrimination suit
