  • Episode 24: Life’s Ups & Downs
    Defect, contamination, epidemic, attack, breakdown. These are the synonyms for the word disease. All words with negative connotations, and for a good reason.

    Imagine a world where the information that shaped our existence, the ways in which we defined ourselves, were told to us by a small group we put our trust in.

  • Episode 17: The Power of Podcasts
    Podcasts were around long before the time of Serial and the NPR shows we all enjoy. In fact, NPR was known for mocking it’s few members in the early 2000’s who had taken up podcasting before the term even stuck. They are great, you can listen to them on your commute, on the elliptical, or […]
