SilentPunt Podcast #209 / March 4, 2026

This week, I talk with Professor Spalding about the strange world of quantum mechanics. We dive into the famous double-slit experiment, probability, photons, black holes, and why reality behaves far differently than common sense suggests.

Plus, how quantum technology is already shaping our future.

This week on the SilentPunt Podcast, we rewatch Super Bowl XXIV (49ers vs Broncos) and do live commentary over it in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I know way too much about football. My co-host Sheila Moeschen knows almost nothing. Humor and nostalgia ensue.

Sheila is a fantastically talented humor writer based out of Boston (follow her on Substack here). She is also an amazing photographer; follow her on Instagram at wordnerdshe. Or, buy one of her books on Amazon (funny here or pictures here)!

Lastly, this episode of the podcast is just like Mystery Science Theater 3000 in that it is much funnier if you watch it. Did you know that YouTube reaches more eyeballs than basically every TV channel and streaming platform combined? So if you are like my dad and scared of new things, it’s perfectly safe, check it out HERE.
