The Southwest’s Wildest Outdoor Art: From Lightning Fields to Sun Tunnels 30:55

18 days ago30:55

30:55

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.…

1:11:14

It's an explosive day in Salem! In this episode, Olivia is joined by Adelin Phelps to talk about what comfort tv means to them & to recap Days of our Lives Season 60 Episode 20 - in which homicidal maniac Connie Vininsky is setting off homemade bombs & exacting revenge on those who outed her as a résumé embellisher, Not-Abigail "remembers" her wedding vows, and Mark tries to keep it together under the watchful eye of Kayla. This episode really makes you think... if someone blabbed all over town that you lied on your résumé, what lengths would you go to in order to silence them?

Things are getting meta in Salem as folks prepare for "streaming's hottest new soap opera," Body & Soul! We've got non-actors preparing for their Daytime Emmy-worthy roles, creative location scouting, and some mistaken identity in the casting department... Will the "ancient argument" between Chanel and Alex prevent them from starring as Pineview's supercouple, Faith and Arrow? Will Stephanie's obvious love for Alex get in the way of him rehearsing his audition? And how much soap opera history can be packed into one scene?? All will be answered this episode. SATDOOL regulars Meredith & Grant are back to hash out their own ancient argument - a feud over whether Marlena is actually the best character on Days! Find out if Hattie Adams is the glue these two need to finally connect.

12 - The Jump! (Season 60, Episode 1) 1:01:49

17 weeks ago1:01:49

1:01:49

It's 2025! In an effort to finally catch up to new episodes, Olivia made The Jump & skipped the back half of Season 59. Join as she forges into the new territory of Season 60 and gets her bearings with new characters, new dramas, & new exterior establishing shots! So much has happened in Olivia's own personal time jump - Tate has been sent away (but is hiding out with Holly in the Horton family cabin), Xander's mother Fiona has come to town to help out with her granddaughter/gaze at liquor bottles, Sarah Horton has been mowed down in a hit and run (but survived), Brady's life is spiraling out of control with star detective Jada breathing down his neck, and Chad has found his previously-thought-dead wife Abigail... or has he?? (he definitely hasn't) Olivia is joined again by her husband, JuCoby, who takes a strong public stance against the Kia Boyz & Grand Theft Auto (the crime, not the game). They also give some strong free advertising to Peacock & The Traitors, a household favorite! Follow on Instagram: @soarethedayspodcast If you like the podcast, leave a rating & a review!…

11 - Harper & the Bearded Whisperer (Season 59 Episode 111) 1:28:54

20 weeks ago1:28:54

1:28:54

It's the final SATDOOL episode of 2024, and Olivia's last episode from Season 59! Yes, it's true, she's finally acknowledging the fact that she's never going to get caught up if she tries to watch every episode, so she's jumping into Season 60 in the new year and embracing how confused she might be for a while. But first! The incredibly funny Madeleine Rowe joins Olivia to break down Season 59, Episode 111. It's Salem-After-Dark, if a vague, non-linear stretch of time between 8 pm and 6 am qualifies as "after dark." In this episode, Marlena & Steve are worried about John's erratic behavior as Constantin stirs up memories of The Pawn, Harris sneaks Lucas out of prison Annie-style, Everett (aka the Bearded Whisperer) respects Stephanie's boundaries by demanding she change them, then crosses the literal boundary of the middle of the bed in an extreme way, and Theresa & Alex unwind from a stressful day the tried and true way - with a game of Truth or Dare! Follow on Instagram @soarethedayspodcast for visuals of iconic moments from the episode, including John's epic moment of emotional processing in the town square.…

This week, in a very special recap, Olivia takes a brief detour from Season 59 to break down the episode that started it all - the very first episode of Days of our Lives, which aired in 1965! Thanks to whoever uploaded it to YouTube, Grant Sorenson & Olivia were able to watch this moment in television history, and they have been changed for good. While a lot has changed over 60 years in Salem, some things stay the same. We've got rich dialogue, a few line flubs, and emotional range for miles! Join us while the Hortons adjust to life as empty nesters while planning their daughters very last minute Thanksgiving wedding, and witness a troubled teenage Julie go off the rails... all for a ratty old stole.
