THE BIG PONDER: EPISODE 16WonderFrom natural phenomena to man-made spectacles, a sense of wonder lets us know the world is bigger than us. In Episode 16 of THE BIG PONDER, Melissa Gerr explores the sensation of awe and admiration, and how wonderment is important to the human spirit. Among others, she talks to entomologist Michael ‘The Bug Guy’ Raupp about the emergence of the 17-year cicadas on the East Coast this past spring, and why stopping to understand the wonders of natural history can make us better stewards of the environment. Listen now to “Wonder,” Episode 16 of #TheBigPonder audio series, on our website or wherever you listen to your podcasts: www.goethe.de/prj/tbp/en/eps/won.htmlTHE BIG PONDER is produced in partnership with:Bertelsmann Foundation rbbKultur Wunderbar Together RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION #TheBigPonder #WunderbarTogether #RIASBerlin Producer Melissa Gerr Photo by James WisnieskiGoethe-Institut Washington WYPR ...

☀️ Enjoy the sunshine and a good podcast this weekend with THE BIG PONDER.⠀⠀Hear yourself as others hear you: At a record store in Louisville, Kentucky, sits a refurbished Voice-o-Graph machine, one of the few still in operation today. Similar to a photo booth, the coin operated mini-studio records up to 2 minutes of audio and dispenses a one-of-a-kind 6" phonograph disc to the user. Whether it is a song, a lover’s message, or a joke, the ability to hear one’s own voice has mystified people for ages. There are only a handful of Voice-O-Graph record booths left — and only a few are open to the public: one at Guitar Emporium in Louisville, KY, one at Third Man Records in Nashville, TN, and one at Byrdland Records in Washington, DC. ⠀ ⠀For THE BIG PONDER, Episode 15 “Record Booth,” Cariad Harmon travels to Louisville and dives into the history behind these booths. Explore the voices they have captured over the last century at bit.ly/BigPonder ⠀*****⠀⠀⠀⠀The BIG PONDER is produced in partnership with Bertelsmann Foundation, rbbKultur, Wunderbar Together, and RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#thebigponder #germany #german #podcast #podcasting #podcasts #goethe #goetheinstitut #transatlantic #american #germanamericanfriendship #wunderbartogether #listenwithus #listentothis ...

Catastrophic floods have done strangely little to shake up the contest to replace Angela Merkel.

RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION
Munich has joined the list of RIAS Berlin Commission alumni chapters with their first meeting in a beer garden in Munich on Tuesday. There are many dozens of RIAS alumni in Munich but until now it seemed bafflingly difficult to get a „critical mass“ together to launch a chapter. Lydia Lypert of Bayerische Rundfunk was able to get eight people together for the first meeting. It was so much fun, she said, that there be another meeting in September. Munich joins the list of alumni chapters that includes Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg and Mainz in Germany. In the United States there are alumni chapters in New York, Washington DC, St Louis and Texas/Oklahoma ... Read MoreRead Less
