What can we discover about a place by exploring the histories of those who once lived there–and those who live there still ? In what ways do cultures build upon each other as populations come and go? How do they complement each other, interact, and leave their marks on the people that come after them? And are cultures truly ever lost, even if the people move on or evolve and adapt? Lost Cultures: Living Legacies—the award-winning podcast from Travel + Leisure—returns for Season 2. This season, we’re diving into the stories of vibrant communities around the globe, including the Kānaka Maoli of Hawai‘i, the Sámi of Norway, the Baghdadi Jewish community of India, and more!

×It’s Del Toro Time returns with a deep dive into Steven Spielberg’s haunting 2001 sci-fi fairy tale, A.I. Artificial Intelligence . Originally developed by Stanley Kubrick and completed by Spielberg, this movie mashes up Pinocchio , Frankenstein , and a whole lot of emotional trauma—plus teddy bears and Jude Law as a robot gigolo. What more could you want? In this episode, we break down the film’s chaotic production history, themes of abandonment, sentient love, del Toro connections, Kubrick’s ghost, and the one robot we’d die for: Teddy. https://berenstainbearcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/DelToroTime-AI.mp3…
What do you get when three of the most powerful men in Hollywood decide to produce an animated film about the life of Moses? You get “The Prince of Egypt!” https://berenstainbearcast.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DelToro-PrinceEgypt.mp3

Who is the biggest GO-BO-LIN of them all?! The Monster! The Creation! The FRANKENSTEIN!

Welcome to the JUDGMENT ZONE! It’s Phil and Willow and we’re back to talk about Albert Brooks’ 1991 classic “Defending Your Life!” What a weird movie to come back on, I swear.

WE’RE SO CLOSE TO THE END! It’s the penultimate “Dark Descent” story and it’s a whopper! “The Hospice” is quintessential Robert Aickman: it’s creepy, offbeat, weird, strange, chilling and inexplicable. We really loved it and now… only one story to go! https://ia600303.us.archive.org/23/items/deltoro-hospice/Deltoro-Hospice.mp3…
What a mystery this story is! Willow isn’t sure if she likes it, or if it even qualifies as horror. I’m enamored of it, but can’t really decide what it’s about! PERFECT! It’s “The Asian Shore” by Thomas M. Disch! https://ia800307.us.archive.org/20/items/del-toro-asian-shore/DelToro-AsianShore.mp3

That stranger is beautiful. https://ia601307.us.archive.org/32/items/del-toro-beautiful-s/DelToro-BeautifulS.mp3…

This week, we’re heading off to jolly ol’ Russia for a bit of nineteenth century whimsey titled “Clara Militch” or “Klara Milich” or any number of permutations.

“Sssssssssmokin’!” Oh, somebody stop me. This week, we begin a new chunk of “The Dark Descent” as we wend our way into “A Fabulous Formless Darkness” by way of the game-changing short story “Smoke Ghost” by Fritz Leiber. Does it live up to the hype? Yes. Yes, it does. https://ia601509.us.archive.org/12/items/del-toro-smoke-ghost/DelToro-SmokeGhost.mp3…
