For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Is Russia Weaker Than We Think? 30:02

30:02

Russia, you will often hear, poses a threat to the West, the world order, and democracy. Yet it has a smaller economy than Italy and ... Canada. It also has a shrinking population.

Or a power that punches well above its economic weight? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Over the years, libraries have become more than just places to borrow books or bring your kids for storytime. They offer newcomer services and advice -- a place where new Canadians can find community and learn about their new home.

They provide free wifi, and offer refuge from cold in winter and heat in the summer. We take a look at Albion Library and find out why it's become an important second and third space for some.
