Prime Matter Podcast episodes

  • Artist's Date at the Puppy Farm
    Ever get the urge to write 50,000 words in one month? Through phenomena like The Artist's Way and NaNoWrimo, Rebekah and Laurel talk about the oxymoron of practical creativity, and the ways in which it inspires and fails us.

  • Jazz Riffs in an fMRI
    This week we talk creativity. From jazz musicians in brain scanners, to opium-induced poetry to epic sci-fi space operas. Are some people intrinsically more creative? Can creativity be taught or honed?

In this mini-sode we outline our fears, dreams, and plans for this series in which we explore questions that matter at the intersection of physics, metaphysics, and medicine.
