  • Ep 15 - Flying Human-Robot-Monkeys; Rebobs of Napa Valley
    In this weeks episode, Charlie & Shelby explore an urban legend that's been around for nearly 70 years, the Rebobs of Napa Valley. The Rebobs have a vastly mixed history and while their description varies depending on who you ask, the general consensus is that they're flying monkeys. Their origins are also somewhat up for debate because they were likely created by a mad scientist, but nobody agrees on how exactly the scientist created them. Join us as we delve into the urban legend of the Napa Valley Rebobs

  • Ep 14 - Hacking Humans with CRISPR
    In this weeks episode, Shelby & Charlie discuss an incredibly ethically and morally charged topic, CRISPR. CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, is a "technology" of sorts that allows researchers, scientists, or even the average person to alter and edit their genetic coding. Focusing mostly on the Netflix docu-series, Unnatural Selection, join us as we discuss some experiments that have been done with CRISPR, what's been successful, what fell short, some controversial actions taken by people, and even some conspiracy.
