Necessary & Sufficient episodes
- 14: Ontogeny & Phylogeny with Ken SchlesOntogeny? Phylogeny? Recapitulates? What the what? This is another pairing that’s been rattling around in my brain forever, and a few years ago I was pleased to learn that Ken Schles is also a fan. Enough time passed for him to forget that conversation, and here we are. A good one.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/14_-ontogeny-phylogeny-with-ken-schles.mp30 min

- 13: Jackass 3D with Andrew WarmanAnother round of “First World Problems” with Andrew Warman. How would you explain “Jackass 3D” to the aliens? Why would they be interested?https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/13_-jackass-3d-with-andrew-warman.mp30 min

- 12: Mass & Weight with Roman MarsThis week Roman Mars and I attempt to sort out the differences between mass and weight. We get thoroughly confused in the process, but I think we end up learning something anyway. We’ll see.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/12_-mass-weight-with-roman-mars.mp30 min
- 11: Limited-Edition Sneakers with Jeremy Broomfield (Part 2)The thrilling conclusion (plus post-game wrap-up) of my experiment with Jeremy Broomfield. Next week, back to our usual format.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/11_-limited-edition-sneakers-with-jeremy-broomfield-part-2.mp30 min
- 10: Limited-Edition Sneakers with Jeremy Broomfield (Part 1)Jeremy is kind enough to serve as guinea pig as I try out a new format. There’s just too much Broomfield goodness here for a single episode, so you’ll get part 2 next week.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/11_-limited-edition-sneakers-with-jeremy-broomfield-part-2.mp30 min
- 9: Vestigial & Prehensile with Beth IsaacA talk with Beth Isaac about a couple of biology terms that might not even be all that related. Or are the they…?https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/9_-vestigial-prehensile-with-beth-isaac.mp30 min
- 8: Alto & Tenor with Peter HessPeter and I get into some multimedia shenanigans here, or at the very least bend one of the conceits of the format. Watch out for the introduction of the first Necessary & Sufficient sound effect, and the sonic havoc wreaked when I switch microphones midstream!https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/8_-alto-tenor-with-peter-hess.mp30 min
- 7: Nerd & Geek with Chris “Stu” Stuart
Stu and I ponder a question for the ages. This one’s a bit longer than usual, but I just couldn’t bear to cut any of the pearls of wisdom. If you’re following along at home, you can find the the Venn diagrams that we discuss at the following addresses, respectively:

About Necessary & Sufficient
From the publisher's feed
Necessary & Sufficient exists as an exploration of ideas (including those of duality, bifurcation, and hierarchy), a meditation on communication, a map of my mind, and a document of its own creation.
Each week I record a conversation with a guest about a pair of related yet distinct concepts. The guest doesn't know about the topic in advance (I send them a set of index cards through the mail, which they open on-air) but I try to match up people with ideas that they will have some knowledge or opinion about. This isn’t a quiz, but an attempt to capture extemporaneous conversation and thoughts as they unfold between two people. Some topics are technical, some are general knowledge, but all are all open-ended in some way.
