Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds. When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it. But the adoption was held up just as she went to Guatemala to g ...

Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

Episode 153: We Have Different Viewpoints of What Flight Means for Humans (with Dave Womach, Jamie Womach, and Daryl Peterson)
Manage episode 358730197 series 2675520

Chris returns from his second bout with COVID-19 to join Ari in welcoming three cool people to the podcast, BirdTricks' Dave and Jamie Womach, and Master Falconer Daryl Peterson! We chat about the unusual path that took the Womachs from a traveling family on the road with Dave's work as a "thrillusionist" (see, we're not the only ones with crazy jobs!) to the founders of a company dedicated to "saving parrots one person at a time," to meeting up with Daryl to learn more about birds of prey and the risks they pose for free-flying parrots, to the epic tale of all three working together so that Dave could fly side-by-side in a wingsuit at 150mph with a gyr x peregrine falcon.
Yep. That's a thing that really happened! And thanks to this chat, we get to learn all about what it took to make it work and how the bird, Scarlett, blew everyone away with her stamina and relationship with all the humans involved.
Have a question or a topic you'd like us to discuss on a future episiode of the show? Let us know at podcast@naturalencounters.com!
