We chat about Joe's time working as a background actor on the long-running soap opera 'General Hospital' and Rivers's first trip to the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. Then, we go through an INCREDIBLE article from Rolling Stone that examines the great wreck that is the life of one Bob Ritchie a.k.a. Kid Rock.

The Intelligence from The Economist - One dam thing after another? Ukraine and reconstruction

And remembering Barry Kemp, the Egyptologist who dug up Akhenaten’s abandoned city (17:18).

Unexpected Elements - Balloon manoeuvres
After North Korean balloons delivered trash to South Korea, we explore balloons of all kinds, why they can be useful, and when they’re not.
Scientists have been using balloons for a long time, from pig bladders dropped from great heights, to Michael Faraday inventing the rubber balloon.
Floating through the air seems like a great, energy-efficient way to fly. So why isn’t the sky full of airships?
And party balloons are fun… but do we want to waste our precious helium on parties? What is this limited gas worth saving for?
Also, why you’re likely smarter than your grandparents were at your age, why snails climb up walls, and scientists looking at clouds from space.

NBN Book of the Day - Asaf Elia-Shalev, “Israel’s Black Panthers: The Radicals Who Punctured a Nation’s Founding Myth” (U California Press, 2024)
Asaf Elia-Shalev's book Israel's Black Panthers: The Radicals Who Punctured a Nation's Founding Myth (U California Press, 2024) tells the story of the young and impoverished Moroccan Israeli Jews who challenged their country's political status quo and rebelled against the ethnic hierarchy of Israeli life in the 1970s. Inspired by the American group of the same name, the Black Panthers mounted protests and a years-long political campaign for the rights of Mizrahim, or Jews of Middle Eastern ancestry. They managed to rattle the country's establishment and change the course of Israel's history through the mass mobilization of a Jewish underclass.
This book draws on archival documents and interviews with elderly activists to capture the movement's history and reveal little-known stories from within the group. Asaf Elia-Shalev explores the parallels between the Israeli and American Black Panthers, offering a unique perspective on the global struggle against racism and oppression. In twenty short and captivating chapters, Israel's Black Panthers provides a textured and novel account of the movement and reflects on the role that Mizrahim can play in the future of Israel.
Roberto Mazza is currently a visiting lecturer at Northwestern University. He is the host of the Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast and to discuss and propose a book for interview can be reached at robbymazza@gmail.com. Twitter and IG: @robbyref Website: www.robertomazza.org

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Five Good Emperors
Depending on how you define it, there were approximately 70 Roman Emperors.
They were a mixed bag ranging from philosophers to the insane, from generals to children.
Some were truly horrible, but some were actually pretty good at their job. In particular, there were five consecutive emperors who reigned during the peak of Pax Romana.
Learn more about the Five Good Emperors on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
