October 14, 2023 30. Shocking Stories from the Emergency Room: A conversation with Dr. Rob Orman and the strange things he's removed from people's backsides.
The one question that Emergency Room Doctors get more than any other is "what sorts of objects have you pilled out of people's rectums." I've known Dr. Rob Orman for several years now and he has stories galore: from the proper technique to remove rectal foreign bodies without damaging his patients, to how to keep up his bedside manner when operating on a known criminal with a horrible record. You don't want to miss this show.

October 08, 2023 29. The Story that almost Killed Me | How Organized Crime taught me about the Future of Mainstream Media
Before I interviewed a well-known hitman in Bangalore in 2008 I told my editor at WIRED that if I didn't report back in 12 hours that he needed to call a cop that was known to shoot first and ask questions later because I was already probably dead. This story is not only about the risks that reporters take in the field, but how the changing distribution of journalism is going to fundamentally alter the types of stories that you hear.#mafia #MarhsallMcluhan #media

October 03, 2023 28. The Secret History of the Mongols
The largest and most successful empire in history wasn't Rome: it was the Mongols. This week I interview Jack Weatherford the New York Times bestselling author of "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" about what made the Mongolian Empire so successful. . . and what is REALLY hidden in Genghis Khan's grave.

September 23, 2023 27. How a Fake Guru founded a Real Cult | An Interview with the Filmmaker VIkram
The filmmaker Vikram Gandhi wanted to expose the fake spirituality of the American wellness movement by impersonating the Hindu priests he grew up around. He invented a fake yoga, intoned Sanskrit chants that were translated from the marketing materials of Nike Sneakers, the US Army and G.I. Joe and told people to trust their intuition. What he didn't expect was that some of his followers started to believe that he really WAS god.

September 15, 2023 26. Why Liars Win
How do we reconcile the fact that lying is an incredibly effective strategy with our shared desire for truth? In the natural world all sort of creatures lie about how dangerous they are in order to survive. The Allied command lied in WW2 to confuse the Nazis before D-day, and most of us would say that the lying was justified. But lying also erodes the social fabric in general.

September 09, 2023 25. The Death of Expertise with Jamie Carlin Watson
What is an expert? For that matter, why don't we trust them? In this week's episiode I interview Jamie Carlin Watson, a bioethicist and professor with a whole host of academic credentials at the end of his name who also happens to be an expert on the very notion of expertise. We discuss the madness that gripped the world during the COVID-19 epidemic, the fall of credenitalism and why both of us have zoom backgrounds full of prestigious looking books to show how smart we are.

How does the barbaric history of medicine shed light on the future of artificial intelligence? How will computers transform the way doctors think? Will patients benefit from the placebo effect if they're talking to a robot?

August 19, 2023 23. I am Become Death: Oppenheimer and the Kali Yuga
The father of the first atom bomb quoted an ancient Hindu scripture when he saw the mushroom cloud exploding over the New Mexico desert. His immortal quote "I am Become Death, destroyer of worlds," framed the dawning of the age we live in today. I recently saw the Chirstopher Nolan's film on Robert Oppenheimer and it got me wondering about the famous passage. It's not just a badass phrase, but a deep philosophical consideration about the very meaning of Duty. In this week's episode I talk with the Sanskrit scholar and warrior-poet Surendriya Rao about the Bhaagavad Gita and Oppenheimer's fateful decision to open up the world to nuclear warfare. Find out more about Surendriya Rao at his website: www.shiningdarkly.com.
