Conversations With Joe

Pamela Newenham is the co-founder of GirlCrew, a social media app designed to help women connect in the real world. Here we talk about how GirlCrew came to be (through Tinder of all places), the importance of connecting with people face-to-face, and the power and perils of being an entrepreneur.

I recently traveled to Palm Springs and got a chance to hang out with Ben Sullins, who brought his Model 3 with him - and I got a chance to drive it!

Ben's channel, Teslanomics, talks about Tesla from a data science standpoint. It's a great source of Tesla news that cuts through all the hype. Find his channel here:

On the YouTube channel today, I am releasing an often-requested video on Rocket Lab, the New Zealand private launch company that's focusing on small, disposable rockets to serve the growing cubsat and micro satellite industry. And for the video, CEO Peter Beck was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about his company, his philosophy, and some of the engineering challenges to reaching space.

John Cook founded the website skepticalscience.com, where he has compiled a list of the most repeated climate change denial arguments and shows the science behind the myths. Along the way, he gained a PhD in Psychology and studies why people refuse to believe scientific truths.

Here, we talk about the science of climate change denial and I let him respond to some of the most common comments I've received about climate change.

In today's podcast, I sit down with Doug Vakoch, the founder of METI, or Messaging Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. We talk about why METI was founded, what their goals are, why we should try to contact aliens, and respond to some of the criticisms of the organization.

If you're interested in learning more about what they do or want to get involved, you can check them out at www.meti.org.

I've been asked more times than I could count to do a video on Thorium reactors, specifically Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors.

There's a lot of conflicting information out there, but I tried my best to break down how nuclear energy works and why Thorium is different. Is it better? You be the judge.

The Hubble Telescope opened our perspective of the cosmos and our place in it. But the James Webb Space Telescope may show us the very origins of our universe.

Mathematics is the backbone of all sciences, no theories or hypotheses are proven unless there is math to back it up. But there are many who believe that math isn't real. In today's video, we'll break down the arguments.

From the Mathematical Physicalists to the Platonists to the Mathematical Fictionalists, we look at all the theories behind whether numbers actually exist, and what they mean.

Quantum Field Theory is the current best understanding of the nature of reality that we have. It's also the strangest. Join me as we break down how we got there and what it all means.
