May 28, 2025 The Hidden Science of Fuels: Why Some Are More Powerful Than Others | Ep 14
Why does wood smolder while hydrogen explodes? What makes one fuel safe for cooking and another strong enough to launch rockets? In this explosive debut episode, Kaden breaks down the science of combustion — from the molecules that hold our energy to the chemistry that determines whether a fuel burns clean or blows the roof off. We explore the wild world of hydrocarbons, the subtle power of nuclear pellets, and why lettuce (yes, lettuce) makes a terrible battery. From jet fuel to fryer grease, biofuels to antimatter, this is your all-access pass to the fiery, fascinating world of fuel. Buckle up — things are about to get volatile.

May 22, 2025 The Most Useless Ways to Generate Power (That People Tried Anyway)
In this electrifying episode of Sparking Interest, Kaden dives headfirst into humanity’s most hilariously misguided attempts at generating power — from jellyfish-powered solar cells to hamster-wheel electricity, coffee-fueled cars, and even the absurd dream of tapping into planetary motion. With a blend of humor, curiosity, and just the right amount of scientific skepticism, Kaden explores how our boldest energy ideas often teeter between genius and spectacular failure. Along the way, you’ll encounter perpetual motion machines, crystal-powered fantasies, and a beer-fueled brewery that actually worked. It’s a whirlwind tour of invention, ambition, and glorious nonsense — a celebration of the wonderfully ridiculous spirit that keeps humanity dreaming, tinkering, and occasionally lighting things on fire (for science, of course). Tune in, get charged up, and remember: even the worst ideas can spark something incredible.

May 07, 2025 Coal Built Our World. Now It Might Destroy It. | Ep 12
In this gritty, cheeky, and science-packed episode, Kaden dives into the dark legacy of coal—from the rock that powered empires to the pollutant that’s heating our planet. How did ancient solid swamp goo become the backbone of modern civilization? Why are we still burning it in the age of solar panels and electric cars? And can we really quit coal before it quits us? Expect coughing miners, carbon chemistry, clean coal myths, and zip lines over ex-mines as Kaden explores the past, present, and future of our most stubborn energy source.

May 02, 2025 Could Your Trash Power a City? | Ep 11
Welcome back to Sparking Interest! I’m Kaden, and yes, I’m about to throw my own show under the bus—or should I say, into the dumpster. In this episode, we’re peeling back the stinky layers of our everyday garbage—banana peels, haunted diapers, and all—to reveal how trash might actually be a powerful secret weapon. From turning rotting leftovers into biogas to transforming old plastic bags into fuel, we’re breaking down the ‘ick’ factor and embracing the idea that your garbage just might be the genius energy solution the world’s been waiting for. Grab your nose plug (and sense of humor) and join me as we dig deep—metaphorically—into the future of waste!

April 23, 2025 Are We About to Run Out of Power… Or Enter an Energy Revolution? | Ep 10
In Episode 10 of “Sparking Interest,” host Kaden tackles whether we’re teetering on the edge of rolling blackouts or zooming toward a revolutionary surge of clean, abundant power. Ever wonder how Texas can go from bragging about colossal trucks to freezing solid in a freak snowstorm? Or how Norway can smugly export electricity like potluck Tupperware? Through playful banter, vivid examples, and a few unexpected cameos from alternate-reality Kadens (yes, plural!), this show examines everything from aging infrastructure to futuristic ideas like WiTricity and green hydrogen. Along the way, Kaden unpacks real-world policy shifts, corporate moves, and everyday strategies to keep our lights burning bright—minus the wallet-busting (or frostbite-inducing) drama. Get ready for a hilarious, insightful, and forward-thinking look at what could be the energy revolution of our lifetime.

April 18, 2025 Are you a battery? The Matrix Lied to you AGAIN | Ep 09
In this episode, Kaden peels back the sci-fi veneer of The Matrix and asks if we humans could really function as batteries—spoiler: the math isn’t exactly on Morpheus’s side. From the nitty-gritty of how much heat we generate (about enough to power a light bulb) to real-world tech like thermoelectric wearables and the use of human heat in subway stations, Kaden dives into why “body-heat power” can’t replace larger-scale energy sources—at least not yet. Along the way, there’s humor, pop-culture references, and a bit of AI banter that makes you question whether the robots might want us around for other reasons after all. If you’ve ever dreamed of charging your phone with your armpit or wondered how human energy stacks up in the real world, this episode has the answers (and plenty of laughs).

April 11, 2025 Are They Really Green, or Just Flooding Us With Problems? | Ep 08
Dams: green energy icons or massive eco-woes? Host Kaden dives in—exploring how dams generate power, control floods, and yes, even shoot fish through cannons—while also revealing their hidden environmental toll. If you thought dams were all about clean energy, think again. Tune in to discover whether they’re saving our planet or just flooding us with new problems!

Get ready for a high-voltage ride in this episode (literally), as Kaden pulls back the curtain on electric cars—from how they really work and why they’re so darn fast, to the hidden pitfalls like where the electricity comes from and wild new battery tech on the horizon. Plus, he spotlights some of the weirdest EV designs and ends with a salute to the ultimate electric visionary, Nikola Tesla, whose dreams and daring inventions still power our world today. Buckle up (or just plug in) for an electrifying deep dive into the future of driving!

March 26, 2025 Electricity Is Magic. Here’s Why That Should Terrify You
Get ready for a hilariously electrifying crash course in all things zappy! In this episode, Kaden dives into the spooky magic of electricity—covering lightning’s raw power, mind-bending quantum weirdness, and even a wild theory that every electron might be the same particle. With safety tips, comedic tales of epic electrical fails (looking at you, “microwaving a smartphone”), and plenty of geeky humor, you’ll walk away dazzled by the hidden forces lighting up your life—and just a little nervous about that giant nuclear fireball we call the Sun.
