Episode 214 - Gargoyles!
Manage episode 384590367 series 1421725
Content provided by Celestia Ward, Ben Radford, and Pascual Romero. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Celestia Ward, Ben Radford, and Pascual Romero or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://player.fm/legal.
Ben and Celestia discuss conspiracies, real and unreal, the conspiracy-backed arguments from a high-profile defense lawyer, a superconductor article retraction, and Barbra's opinion on the Streisand Effect. Then, gargoyles! How do these imposing gothic carvings differ from grotesques, and what do they do -- both functionally and symbolically? Who can see them so high up, and are hidden messages really carved into some of them? We learn about the guttural (literally) sense of humor on display in medieval times, and the possible connection gargoyles have to an ancient tradition of "gurning," or face-pulling. And yes, we do talk about the 90s cartoon too!
