Consilience with Pete and Charlie: the Intersection of Science and the Humanities

Pete and Charlie dance around Taco Bell, research institutions, Richard Feynman, transcendent acts, free jazz, teaching freshmen, GT-1000, administrators, junkie artists, and the material oomph.

Pete and Charlie float through baldness, comedy, personas, podcasts, artistic processes, John Cage, rules for students and teachers, and enjoying your learning environment.

Pete and Charlie won't stop talking about Jesus, cancelled shows, miracles, cultural activism, movie science, Avogadro's number, the periodic table, Glenn T. Seaborg, science communication, artistic connection, and abstinence-only programs.

Pete and Charlie bounce around chronotopes, bitterness, cough syrup, Powerpoint, inventions, idea spaces, Eddie Izzard, obfuscation, and the best pi joke Pete ever heard.

Pete and Charlie tussle with Boston, dating, agnostic circles, the Pope's retirement, religious denominations, the origin of life, hypocrisy, ghosts, and library late fees.

Pete and Charlie take on back pain, flag girls, seminarians, more Penn Jillette, more Happy Days, jumping the shark, to-do lists, research, power, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and immortality.

Pete and Charlie sift through classification systems, atoms, pre- and post-scientific religions, atheists, Penn Jillette, tracking neutrinos, City of Angels, instrumental science, existentialism, the Boy Scouts, and moral compasses.

Pete and Charlie digest podcasts, food choices, self-promotion, radio shows, Morgan Spurlock, Nikki Glaser, The Laughing Skull Lounge, Neil Degrasse Tyson, and stardust.

Pete and Charlie serve up Linus Pauling, cartoons, Batman, cafeteria Catholicism, urine, cantilevers, getting engaged, celibacy, and the Standard Model.

Pete and Charlie flicker through painters, poets, The Big Bang Theory, simulations, Tom Clancy, losers, apocalyptic narratives, Blue Thunder, and Die Hard.
