Risky Behavior

In this episode, Taylor and Sweta chat with Bill Klanke, CEO and publisher of Space Intel Report, the leading online space media company for the commercial space industry. Bill takes a “space level view” and explains the extent to which business and industry have overhauled the space landscape initially dominated by NASA, but now perhaps more synonymous with SpaceX! The trio discusses fake moons, US Space Force, the inherent risks associated with commercial practices lowering costs to give consumers access to space and so much more!

Tune in to find out if Taylor’s future husband would have the option of taking him to space! Spoiler alert: it could be as early as the end of this year! Taylor better move from swiping to dating if he’s going to be one of the first tourist couples to check out space!

Check out this bonus “hot topic” episode on coronavirus! Sweta and Taylor break down this virus only how they can, in relation to the big global picture. E.g., how are global trends like overpopulation, urbanization, increased transport, and human interconnectedness, and finally climate change resulting in the emergence and persistence of infectious diseases like coronavirus? While coronavirus is unlikely to hit the status of a pandemic (a disease spanning countries and generations like HIV or Spanish Influenza), NOW is the time to think about the prevention of the next big infectious disease. We need to talk about uncomfortable truths, human behaviors, and how proactive risk management is necessary to stop these diseases from ever emerging. Currently, an estimated 1.67 million potential unknown diseases are out there (EcoHealth Alliance, see reference) and if/when they make the jump to humans, quite frankly, no amount of quarantines or evacuations can contain them.

In this episode, Sweta is sandwiched between TWO food and nutrition scientists, co-host Taylor and Dr. PK Newby, author of “Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know.” Despite the whiplash, Sweta learns a lot (!) as will any listener who has been equally confused by fad diets and celebrity-backed food trends. While diets can be entrenched in some science, they tend to stem from sensationalized single studies, or “studies de jour!” This is the episode to finally help debunk Keto, Paleo, and even the Twinkie diet!

If you hear wine glasses clinking in the background it’s because we’re responsibly enjoying happy hour through this conversation. We welcome you to join us, and to also pair your beverage with the food science community’s consensus that food plates should be primarily plant-based!

Spoiler alert: there is actually more agreement than that!

Did you know the food pyramid no longer existed?  Sweta didn’t! Taylor advised Sweta to check out: www.choosemyplate.gov

In the inaugural episode of “Risky Behavior,” Sweta and Taylor chat to David Livingston, the Deputy Director of Climate and Advanced Energy at The Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center, on all thing climate and energy! Topics discussed range from how to make the global energy system more sustainable, why nuclear and other energy sources are perceived riskier than they actually are, and where we are in harnessing energy from volcanoes…wait are we? David’s expertise isn’t simply limited to predictions on the future of energy, but he also excels at accurately dropping in fancy vocabulary words like “panoply” and “largesse” into casual conversation. Grab and drink and listen to this compelling episode on renewable energy, the positions of the Democratic presidential hopefuls, and how to use “bevy” correctly in a sentence that will surely make you popular at your next cocktail party!
