17 days ago30:55

A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Hospital@Home 28:22

It’s possible for patients to receive hospital-level care inside their homes. HealthPartners Hospital@Home director Tia Radant and medical director Dr. Chrisanne Timpe talk about the program’s evolution as “the virtual unit,” which types of patients are ideal candidates for getting acute care at home, and the role community paramedics and other care team members play in treating patients. Producer's note: In this episode, Dr. Chrisanne Timpe says, "The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services collected data for about three years on how these programs were doing nationally. And in that data with tens of thousands of patients, when they compared Hospital@Home groups to equally matched in brick and mortar treated groups, they showed that, for several diagnoses, there were reduced readmissions. But most importantly for somebody like me, there is a 20% chance of ending up needing a skilled nursing facility after hospitalization for frail elders for people who are in the brick and mortar, compared to 2.5%." The correct number is even lower: 1.2% for people in Hospital@Home, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services .
