For centuries, mysterious blocks of beeswax and Chinese porcelain have washed up on the Oregon coast, leading to legends of pirates, treasure, and a sunken Spanish galleon. It became known as the Beeswax Wreck, and it inspired centuries of treasure hunters—and maybe even Steven Spielberg, as he created The Goonies. Now, researchers have found nearly 330-year-old timbers from the ship in a hard-to-access cave. This is the story of how a team of volunteer archeologists are working to solve one of the most enduring mysteries of the Pacific Northwest, using old-school detective skills and one well-timed natural disaster.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Poet Warrior’, Joy Harjo uses poetry to deal with pain and heal
In celebration of the new U.S. poet laureate this year, Ada Limón, today's episode revisits another poet laureate's conversation with Michel Martin about how poetry has been used to deal with pain and healing. Joy Harjo, who has been the U.S. poet laureate since 2019 says she has always been drawn to healing ever since she was little. She even studied pre-med in college. But it wasn't until Harjo heard Native poets that she realized "this is a powerful tool of understanding and affirmation." She shares her poetry and story in the book, Poet Warrior.

We continue our look at the big cases that rocked the end of the Supreme Court term. Turning to the Bruen gun case, we see a long opinion and two short concurrences. An ambitious, contentious opinion by Justice Thomas riled many, especially in the wake of the continuing plague of shootings around America. We draw particular attention, however, to concurrences that may be the real news here. And if this case indeed has great impact, is it in its short-term policy implications, or its long-term constitutional lessons - or somewhere else? The case turns out, in Professor Amar’s “Princess Bride” view, to perhaps not mean what you think it means.
Hayek Program Podcast - Liberalism for All — The Political Economy of Equality
On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a special summer series of the podcast on Liberalism for All, hosted by Jayme Lemke as she explores the underpinnings and outworkings of a free and open society. Driving the discussion is a set of core questions, including:
- What does it mean to be liberal in the 21st century?
- What is the relationship between liberalism and equality?
- Is the pursuit of equality a threat or opportunity for the liberal project?
Joining Lemke for this episode is John Meadowcroft, a Reader in Public Policy at King's College London, as they discuss James Buchanan's work on a political economy of equals. Meadowcroft lays out his analysis of "consensual politics" and explains why true moral equality means that "everyone counts for one." He also explains why Buchanan believed the constitutional mentality begins with moral equality and examines Buchanan's proposal for unanimous consent in politics. As they conclude their discussion, Lemke and Meadowcroft consider those disadvantaged by the status quo and discuss what can be done to forward the vision of a society of freely relating moral equals.
