The Interesting Hour

Death. It's not a pretty subject to talk about. However does life need to end when we die? Justin & Devesh had the honor of having a conversation with the co-founder of Alcor Life Extension, Linda Chamberlain. She generously made time to remote into our show and teach us about what scientific studies are being done to preserve, and re-start human life after death. We have to warn you, this episode is definitely different than what we've done before.

We have a champ in the house! Christian Hernandez of Layer8 from Cal State University Northridge joined us to talk a little about cybersecurity. Learn what is actually going on when you use your phones, the web, and what is actually going on in what people refer to as "the dark web." We also learn about the CCDC. Oh, and we learn about how to RAID your drives. RAID your drives, people! RAID them!!

What better way to end the season than with our first repeat guest? Jacklyn Avidon joins us again, all the way from New York City. This time she’s answering Justin & Devesh’s hard hitting questions about what it’s like to live in space. Not just the common questions like how do astronauts poop? These guys didn’t get shy when it came to talking about sex in space. Why are you still reading this? Hit play!

Get Inspired! Inc’s own Nancy Caruso joins us and shares how she got involved in some of the most inspiring work we have yet to see on (The) Interesting Hour. Nancy is responsible for helping the declining kelp population resurge off the coast of California, and continues to help students get hands on experience and learn all about marine biology.

Stop. Just stop. You need to grab a pad of paper and pen. Take some notes for this one, because Dr. Ken Wharton was kind enough to dedicate his time to help Justin & Devesh understand theoretical physics. It didn’t work, but it sure sounded cool to listen to. This guy has been a scientific consult in Hollywood, and is passionate about spreading science. Tune in this week as Dr. Wharton explains his theory of retrocausality. Which is a fancy way of saying the future can affect the past. Say, what?!

Life, will find a way. Or at least find its way into the Natural History Museum. That’s where Doug Goodreau comes in. This Paleontological Preparator has been around the world, and he tracks down dinosaur fossils. Join Devesh & Justin as they go on location to Natural History Museum Los Angeles and record live inside the Dino Lab for all visitors passing by to see!

We got Stu Krieger behind a microphone. No joke. This Hollywood screenwriter has been apart of families lives for a long time. The Land Before Time? Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century? That was this guy. Now he's released his first novel, "That One Cigarette." Sit back and listen as Justin gets to ask the most important questions about The Land Before time that he's harbored since childhood. Cetus-Lupeedus, this is going to get emotional.

Stay passionate and bold. In this episode, Macy McKenny takes us into her creative mind, and walks us through her journey from being a graphics designer to launching Simon Says Macy where she creates amazing works of art from polymer clay. Oh, and she loves Bob's Burgers. Check her out on Instagram (@simonsaysmacy)and on Twitch (twitch.tv/simonsaysmacy)!

Grab your favorite bottle of wine, and download this weeks episode featuring a real Sommelier! Michael Cox gets behind the mic with Justin and Devesh as they talk about all things wine. Please note - any wine will pair well while listening to THIS episode!

Buckle in as The Interesting Hour travels (digitally) halfway around the world to speak with the Korean Buddhist monk, Hwansan Sunim. Open your mind, reserve your judgements, and join us as Devesh & Justin dive into the shows first spiritual episode to learn all about Buddhism, and how this Harvard graduate became a famous monk in Korea.
