April 07, 2022S8 Ep11: Time Slips: When Am I, Now?This week on the podcast, Austin takes us down another TikTok inspired rabbit hole into the concept of Time Slips. These seemingly unintentional slips into the literal past have us asking a lot of questions. From plausibility of time travel to one’s ability to potentially document an experience with time travel in the age of the smart phone. And why in fiction do time travelers always have to conceal themselves? Is it actually just a plot device to keep hope alive that time travel could be happening all around us already?...more1h 12minPlay

March 03, 2022S8 Ep6: Cryopreservation: Pausing Death?This week on the podcast it’s not all about Mark Walberg’s daily routine, but we certainly spend some time there… We’re going into the freezer on this one as we discuss Cryopreservation.
