Can Dogs Talk?
Can dogs talk? That’s what Silas wants to know. We’re going beyond the bark to discover a new technology that is enabling dogs to “talk,” and a scientist who’s determined to find out if the effect is real. Dog owners are training their dogs to use “soundboards” – a collection of buttons with different words recorded on each one. Watch a video of a dog pressing buttons to respond to their owner’s questions, and you might be convinced! But Amalia Bastos, who studies animal communication, was skeptical. She set up a series of experiments to figure out if dogs can really understand what they’re hearing and “saying” – or if they’re just very well trained, very good dogs. So do the dogs pass Amalia’s “talking” tests? Listen to find out!

Why Does Earth Have a Magnetic Field?
How did Earth get its magnetic field? And why does it move around? Our listeners have questions about one of Earth’s most mysterious forces. To find out, we go on an archeological expedition in the Middle East, with pioneering paleomagnetist Lisa Tauxe. Lisa has spent decades “hunting” the magnetic field through time, to understand what ancient artifacts can tell us about how the magnetic field has changed. Did you know, magnetic north doesn’t stay in one place – and sometimes it flips? If you feel yourself pulled into this mystery, hit play on this episode!
