  • Exploring the Geology of Oahu Guidebook (Hawaii: State Of Clean Energy)

    Guide to Important Geological Locations.  The host for this episode is Mitch Ewan.  The guest for this episode is Michael Knight.


    A tour through the geological story of O’ahu by exploring 39 areas of natural beauty, many off the beaten path, and connecting all geology enthusiasts (young scientists) with the ‘ānia (earth or land), nature, and some of cultural history of our island.

    The geology of O’ahu and how it relates to Hawaiian hotspot volcanism, i.e., compare O’ahu’s eroded volcanoes to the recent active eruptions at Kïlauea Volcano on the Big Island (illustrating a simple magma chamber and rift zone of the eruptions).

    Discuss how to use this guidebook to visit some of the interesting landform areas on O’ahu, either by car, bus, bicycle, canoe, surfboard, or walking to 39 of the most important and easily reachable geologic sites, if you have the time and interest.

    How O’ahu formed from three large shield volcanos each shouldering on the next.

    How magma moved through these volcanoes through the rift systems and dike complex.

    Hawaiian mythologies related to the Hawaiian Goddess Pele.

  • Unvaccinated, Pay 50% for Hospital Bills? (What Now America)

    The host for this episode is Tim Apicella.  The guests for this episode are Jay Fidell and Cynthia Sinclair.


    Health Ins. Premiums Soar? Who Pays?.  The cost of hospitalization is high, especially if it's for days, weeks, or months. Now that the Delta variant is infecting far more Americans than the original Alpha COVID19, and the illness has a much greater impact, what do we say to those who choose to refuse vaccination? Who pays for the thousands of dollars of medical care required for those who could have prevented hospitalization by simply getting the shots? If it's not state or the federal government tax dollars paying for it, then you can feel confident it's going to be those who have insurance and will see their monthly medical insurance premiums climb? Is it unreasonable to expect the unvaccinated to cost share for their decisions? Smokers pay a higher insurance premium (most states can charge 50% higher) for a patient to exercise their "freedom and rights". Is it time to require big co-pays for those who insist on their freedoms and choose to avoid the shots?

  • Mobile and Immobilie Vol 7 (Humane Architecture)

    Architecture and Automobile’s Common Ground.  The hosts for this episode are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  The guest for this episode is Ronald Lindgren.


    Architecture (amongst many other aspects) provides sheltered space and a feeling of secure privacy within an increasingly felt out of control everyday world. But these qualities of Architecture are increasingly out of reach of affordability for an increasing amount of people which is why people increasingly feel out of touch with architecture which gets architecture in trouble.
    Automobiles on the other hand provide similar properties (of providing the bubble sheltered space and a feeling of secure privacy) and remain relatively more accessible to people as a more affordable and able to change commodity which is why pandemic populated people are increasingly in touch with their automobiles.
