- 1312: "Sly Stone"
Interesting Things with JC #1312: "Sly Stone" – He vanished from fame and lived in silence. Not because he was forgotten...but because he couldn’t bear being seen. A prophet of funk who chose exile over encore.

Interesting Things with JC #1307: "The Device That Proved We Don’t See With Our Eyes" – In the 1970s, two devices changed how we understand vision, not by restoring sight, but by re-routing it. The brain adapted, the world opened, and it all began at home.
6 min - 1306: "Cocoa and Cancer"

Interesting Things with JC #1304: "Astigmatism Lens Flares" – At night, a single headlight can turn into a firework. What you see may not be the road, but your eyes themselves. A flaw that’s not broken. Just bent.
