The Seagulls Radiolab

In the 1970s, as LGBTQ+ people in the United States faced conservatives whose top argument was that homosexuality is “unnatural,” a pair of young scientists discovered on a tiny island off the coast of California a colony of seagulls that included… a significant number of lesbian couples making nests and raising chicks together. The article that followed upended the culture’s understanding of what’s natural and took the discourse on homosexuality in a whole new direction. In this episode, our co-Host Lulu Miller grapples with the impact of this and several other studies about animal queerness on her life as a queer person.

Short Moon StarDate Podcast

The Moon will be full tomorrow night. It’s the Flower Moon, Rose Moon, or Strawberry Moon. But it can also be called the Short Moon or Short-Night Moon. It puts in one of the shortest appearances of any full Moon of the year. Only July’s Moon will surpass its brevity — but not by much. These Moons are so bashful because the full Moon does the opposite of what the Sun is doing in our sky. These are the longest days of the year in the northern hemisphere, so the Sun remains in view for a long time. It also stands highest in the sky for the year. So the full Moon does just the opposite: It stays fairly low, and with the shortest nights of the year upon us, it’s in view for only a few hours. The difference is more pronounced as you go farther north. Miami, for example, sees about 13 and a half hours of sunlight the next few days, but as little as 10 and half hours of moonlight. From Dallas, it’s more than 14 hours of the Sun, but only 10 hours of the Moon. And from Seattle, it’s 16 hours versus just eight. The Short Moon is the full Moon closest to the summer solstice, which is June 21st — 18 days after tomorrow night’s full Moon. July’s full Moon comes on the 3rd — 11 days after the solstice. It’ll be in view for a few minutes less than June’s Moon. So, technically, it earns the Short Moon tag. But both full Moons will be so scarce that they might as well share this year’s honors: the Short-Night Moon.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

800: Jane Doe This American Life

Five years after the #MeToo explosion, what’s happened in the lives of the women who stepped forward and went public with their stories? We tell the story of a teenager who spoke out against one of the most powerful people in her state, and what happened next. Prologue: Some powerful and well known men lost their jobs after #MeToo. But what about the women at the center of all this who’ve been way less visible after they told what happened to them? We hear about big and small ways the aftermath of coming forward continues to pop up in their daily lives. (10 minutes)Act One: Back in 2021, a 19-year-old intern at the Idaho state legislature reported that a state Representative named Aaron von Ehlinger raped her. She went by the name Jane Doe. There was a public ethics hearing and Ehlinger resigned. State legislators talked about how proud they were of their ability to do the right thing so quickly. But the story that the public knows is very different from what actually happened to Jane. She talks about it in-depth for the first time. (25 minutes)Act Two: Jane Doe walks into a public ethics hearing at the Idaho state capitol and navigates the aftermath. (23 minutes)Act Three: Jane Doe sent some questions for us to ask Chanel Miller. For years, Chanel was known as Emily Doe. She wrote a victim impact statement that millions of people read. (A swimmer at Stanford University named Brock Turner sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious.) She talks about how she decided to come out with her real name and who Emily Doe is to her now. (9 minutes)Transcripts are available at thisamericanlife.org
