For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? SHOW NOTES: Meet The Man Living in The Lost City Carved in Stone Jordan: Petra's tourism authority cracks down on Bedouin cave dwellers The tribes paying the brutal price of conservation “There is no future for Umm Sayhoun” Jordan’s Young Bedouins Are Documenting Their Traditions on TikTok Check out Sami's company Jordan Inspiration Tours Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

It’s just Karl and Christian this time. We are too close to the heart of the political season, and it’s difficult to make new friends. Except Bernie. Bernie is everyone’s friend. He’s on a big racist mural to prove it! Did you know Imperial Burlington is in the third best state to retire to? If that isn’t enough, Metric Burlington is the third best place to retire to in Canada. We’re not frozen misanthropes, we’re just ahead of our time. Episode 5: Just two friends in Bernie-ton TECHNICAL NOTE: Thanks to an untimely domain-canceling, the links to the previous episodes have been broken. Those will be fixed soon!…

Hi all! It’s been a while since we reminded everyone they have friends in Burlingtons all over the world! You do! Truly. Unless you are a racist mural. To prove it, our new friend Pam from Notburlington York City is going to visit Imperial Burlington, Vermont. She did not know what she’s in for, so she turned to us. Now she is prepared for moose crossings, liberal ice cream, and Bernie Sanders sightings. There is no evil in Vermont except what you bring with you, Pam! Unless you hate black socks with shorts. Welcome, Pam! Emergency brake is on the left, jackknifed horse accident on the left. Episode 3: We’re here! We’re friends! We’re visiting! The mayor of Burlington inspects damage from a no-snow day…

In our second friendly episode, we welcome Friend Blake Smith from Atlanta — the Burlington of Central Georgia. We also get an update on Imperial Burlington’s white people mural (they had a meeting) and we learn Metric Burlington is replacing its pizza with something French. We also take our first tentative steps towards building an Official Tinder Profile. This trend could become alarming. Episode 2: Hello new friend! Goodbye old pizza! Most of us get to be replaced by robots. This pizza is getting replaced by a modified baguette.…
