Induction

In recent decades, more and more energy has been put into developing interventions to either reduce fossil fuel emissions or, in some cases, remove them from the atmosphere entirely. But, which of those interventions actually have the potential to turn the tide in our fight against global heating and which are all talk and no substance?In today's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Dr Simon Clark to find out.Watch or listen to every episode of Induction two weeks early at http://go.nebula.tv/inductionCheck out Simon's videos at https://youtube.com/@SimonClark*The Induction Team*Hosted by Tom NicholasEdited by Georgia BurrowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere now. Over the past year, tools like ChatGPT, Dall-E and Stable Diffusion have turned what was previously a fairly marginal technology into headline news. Industry leaders make great predictions about the future of AI, predicting an end to work (and, perhaps even an end to humanity). But how much of that is likely and how much is pure hype?In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom sits down with AI researcher and YouTuber Jordan Harrod to find out.Watch or listen to every episode of Induction two weeks early at http://go.nebula.tv/inductionCheck out Jordan's videos at https://www.youtube.com/@JordanHarrod*The Induction Team*Hosted by Tom NicholasEdited by Georgia BurrowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Since his death in 1616, William Shakespeare has often been held up as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) English-language writers. Nevertheless, the world in which Shakespeare was writing was clearly a very different on to that which we live in today. So, what is it that keeps audiences, creatives and other thinkers coming back to his work?In today's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Philosophy Tube creator and writer behind The Prince, Abigail Thorn.Watch or listen to every episode of Induction two weeks early at http://go.nebula.tv/inductionCheck out Abigail's videos on YouTube at https://youtube.com/@philosophytube*The Induction Team*Hosted by Tom NicholasEdited by Georgia BurrowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For a long time, one's 20s were viewed as the defining decade of a person's life. The cultural norm was that this was the decade in which one would find a partner, get married, settle down and buy a house. But, even for those who want to pursue such a life plan, the economic shifts of the past twenty years mean that such a route now looks all-but impossible.In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Leena Norms about the weight of social expectations in one's 20s and how to survive them in a world on fire.Watch or listen to every episode of Induction two weeks early at http://go.nebula.tv/inductionCheck out Leena's videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@leenanorms*The Induction Team*Hosted by Tom NicholasEdited by Georgia BurrowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
