  • The Sex Lives of Giant Pandas
    2025/01/22

    Whether it's live on the Smithsonian National Zoo's panda cam or in front of a crowd, possibly no other animal's sex life is as closely watched as the giant pandas' is. And there's a reason. These cuddly-looking black and white bears just can't figure out how to mate. But, with a little help from science, the once-endangered giant panda is making a comeback. To honor the arrival of the National Zoo's newest giant pandas, we peep into the (not so secret) sex lives of pandas.

    Guests:
    Pierre Comizzoli
    , panda sex expert and staff scientist at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute

    Lisa Stevens, AKA “Panda Lady”; former senior curator of mammals at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo

    Stephen Powers, panda fan

  • Everybody Pledge Now
    2025/01/08

    Children say it every day in school, but have you ever wondered why we recite the pledge of allegiance? We journey back to the late 1800s to understand how a massive wave of immigration and sagging magazine subscriptions gave rise to this vow of patriotism. From the Civil War to anti-immigrant nativism and Cold War politics, this one pledge tells many stories.


    Guests:

    Debbie Schaefer-Jacobs, curator for the history of education collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History

    Marc Leepson, author of Flag: An American Biography

  • Midnight Magic
    2024/12/25

    "I’m not superstitious, but I’m a little stitious.” As the New Year approaches, this iconic line from The Office feels more relatable than ever. From gulping grapes in Spain to donning yellow underwear in South America and practicing Scotland’s ancient “first-footing” tradition, people around the world embrace odd – and oddly meaningful - rituals to ensure good luck in the year ahead. Join us as we travel around the Smithsonian to explore how facing the unknown brings us together at New Year’s… in the most unusual ways.

    Guests:

    Jim Deutsch, senior content coordinator for America at 250 book project with the Smithsonian Institution, formerly a curator at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage

    Tey Marianna Nunn, associate director of content and interpretation for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino

    Theo Gonzalvez, curator at the National Museum of American History

    Grace Jan, Yao Wenqing Chinese Painting Conservator at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art
