  • 52: The Amazing and Optimistic Future of Augmented Reality, with David Rose

    What if you could suddenly understand every language on earth? Identify any object or living thing around you with nothing but a glance? See exactly how a new outfit might look on your body before trying on a single piece of clothing? What if you could customize your entire life the way you would your living room? Ambient and spatial computing expert David Rose bears the good news of the coming augmented reality revolution, and tackles some of the hazards that may occur when we can all create our own, individually-tailored worlds.

  • 51: Drawing Comics for the Underdogs and Living Your Passion, with Barry Deutsch

    The world of comics is as vast as it is diverse. From colorful, fanciful stories geared toward children to gritty, realistic artwork crafted for more a mature crowd, if it can be drawn, there's an audience for it. But what motivates an artist to pursue a particular style or genre? To put it another way: What draws them to it? Comic artist Barry Deutsch shares how he became passionate about cartooning, and why he creates comics about communities that are often overlooked and underserved.

  • 50: America Has Failed Its Working Poor, with Joanne Goldblum & Colleen Shaddox

    More than 1 in 3 Americans - roughly 38% - are having difficulty meeting their basic needs each month. You may be one of them, or know someone who is. Or you don't know, because they're hiding it from you. Regardless, the number remains: 123 million people. Broke in America authors Joanne Samuel Goldblum and Colleen Shaddox believe it doesn't have to be this way, and they're ready to prove their case.

  • 49: Thriving in a World That Wasn’t Designed for You, with Jenara Nerenberg

    What does it mean to be "different"? Who decided on the definition?  Who drew the boundaries around "normal"? Author and founder of The Neurodiversity Project Jenara Nerenberg explores where and why these definitions diverge, and how we might remake them to better reflect the reality we all share.

  • 48: The Classics Belong to Everyone, with Dr. Anika Prather

    History is only a story. Events happen. People exist. But how and why we talk about them and what we decide to study is a matter of choice. It's completely up to us. And that's the story. Dr. Anika Prather helps students of all backgrounds reexamine assumptions we often make about history, in order to reframe it in a healthier, more inclusive, and more accurate way.

  • 47: A New Philosophy of Progress and Why We Don’t Have Flying Cars, with Jason Crawford

    How exactly am I able to communicate with you? We're not in the same room - we're likely not even in the same state. And if my listener stats are accurate - 30% of you reading this right now live in a completely different country! So... how did we get here? What makes the world modern - technologically, socially, morally - is often under-appreciated, but the history of the modern world is a history of progress. The Roots of Progress founder Jason Crawford believes that understanding that history is key to empowering the next generation to progress ever further.

  • 46: The Many Ways We Process Our Pain, with Jay Shapiro

    How do you process your pain? We all experience traumas - big and small - over the course of our lives. And we all deal with them differently. A painful event can often feel like a physical location - a topography stretching out ahead that needs to be traversed. Some may sprint across the landscape while others crawl - I've sometimes found myself believing I've covered real distance, only to realize I've been walking in circles. But the journey - however it is made - is a substantial one. Writer and documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro opens up about how he has managed - and manages - his terrain.
