Podcasts about 2D

Despite being released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit remains the pinnacle of blending 2D animation with live action photography. Set in Hollywood after World War II, it follows Detective Eddie Valiant as he unravels the murder mystery involving famed toon Roger Rabbit, his wife Jessica Rabbit, and the terrifying villain Judge Doom. It's also famous for bringing together, for the first time, Disney and Warner Bros. characters like Donald and Daffy Duck, plus Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Next week we'll look at a not as good live action/animation hybrid, and the week after that one of the worst to do it in the lead up to Coyote VS ACME.

What if you could turn a rough idea, a handful of inspiration images, or even a back-of-the-napkin sketch into a professional design or promotional video—in seconds rather than days?Today's AI design tools can help you create mood boards, photorealistic rooms, 3D objects, architectural visuals, marketing assets, product advertisements, and videos without mastering a long list of complicated creative platforms.The key is to stop treating AI as a one-off image generator. Instead, build repeatable workflows that move from inspiration to finished asset—while dramatically reducing the time, cost, and manual effort involved.In this episode of the Leveraging AI Podcast, Isar Meitis walks through practical AI-powered design workflows that can be applied far beyond interior design.Whether you need visuals for a website, presentation, brochure, proposal, product campaign, architectural project, or social media post, these methods can help you create more options and move from concept to execution faster.In this session, you'll discover:The difference between free 2D-to-3D tools and more detailed paid alternatives.How to move a 3D asset into tools such as SketchUp and create a photorealistic render.How to transform a collection of inspiration images into a professional mood board with ChatGPT.How to preserve a room's layout while changing its furniture, lighting, materials, and atmosphere.How Figma Weave can turn a manual creative process into a repeatable visual workflow.How to place products realistically into new environments with the correct angle, lighting, and shadows.How AI can generate multiple advertising concepts for the same product automatically.How these workflows can support web design, architecture, brochures, proposals, presentations, product marketing, and other business needs.About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

What if the real obstacle in 3D cell culture and tissue engineering isn't the cells, but the very ground they grow on?For years, cell culture has relied on flat plastic and passive scaffolds. But biology doesn't happen on a petri dish—cells live in three dimensions, surrounded by a dynamic environment that talks back, adapts, and shapes development in ways static gels simply cannot.That's the premise behind MosaMatrix, a novel hydrogel platform designed to transform how we grow cells, engineer tissues, and screen new drugs created by CEO Jan Hunik and CTO Matt Baker.Topics discussed:Why traditional flat, 2D cell culture misses the biological mark and what a responsive cell environment really looks like (00:27)The origins of MosaMatrix and the realization that new, adaptive hydrogels were needed for dynamic cell culture (04:45)What makes the MosaMatrix hydrogel different—and why passive scaffolds fall short (06:12)Mechanical and biological characteristics that define hydrogel performance, from stiffness to stress relaxation (07:48)The company's pivot from 3D tissue printing to focusing on high-throughput 3D cell culture for drug discovery (08:42)Advantages of a non-animal-derived, reproducible matrix for research and industry (10:20)Strategies for obtaining real-world customer feedback and working in consortia with academia and industry partners (11:51)Key hurdles in quality control, reproducibility, and measuring success in the emerging field (16:05)Challenges with standardizing organoids and the move to smaller, more automatable culture systems (17:50)The impact of automation and data consistency for scaling up 3D cell culture (18:14)Smart insight: MosaMatrix validates its hydrogel not through internal R&D alone, but through direct collaboration with academic and industry partners — testing performance across cell types and culture media. This includes a ~50-company consortium building next-gen 3D cell culture tools and a new consortium improving kidney dialysis with living human cells. The partnerships surface real variables, like how much culture media composition affects results, that continually shape product development.If this conversation got you thinking about biomaterials, scale-out manufacturing, and what it takes to turn a chemistry breakthrough into a fundable company, these episodes explore the same ground from complementary angles.Episodes 221 - 222: From 2D Cultures to Advanced 3D Cell Models for Preclinical Research with Catarina BritoEpisodes 259 - 260: Why Strong Science Isn't Enough to Get Funded: What Investors Actually Look For with Michael RomeEpisodes 265 - 266: From Human Variability to Automated Precision: Accelerating Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Scale-Out with Farlan VeraitchEpisodes 223 - 224: From Cultivated Meat to Chocolate: Rethinking Cellular Agriculture Scale-Up with Steven LangConnect with Jan Hunik and Matt Baker:Emails: matt.baker@mosamatrix.com and jan.hunik@mosamatrix.comWebsite: www.mosamatrix.comLinkedIn Jan Hunik: www.linkedin.com/in/jan-hunik-0183734LinkedIn Matt Baker: www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-baker-0abb981bSupport the show

Owner of one of the effortlessly sexy voices among male seiyuu, Takuya Sato is no stranger to singing in 2D music projects and even had his own solo career (and it was genuinely solid). However, something was missing in his singing that acappella music - and namely, the Aoppella franchise - unlocked for him in 2019.Since then, he has been a show stealer in all 2D music projects he is a part of.Music suggestions:- FYA'M "Think about U"- TRIGGER "Triple Down"- TRIGGER "SOL"Thanks to M L for inspiring this series of episodes!

Before we get to long lenses, we're going into lenses that are designed for portraits, it doesn't matter if you're talking headshots, couples, quarter length, these are amazing lenses that are far more versatile than what they're called. Today's criteria are focal lengths between 70mm and 200mm, although 200mm is pushing it for some photographers, but it's our show, and we set the rules. The lenses featured in today's episode include the DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2D, AI-S Nikkor 85mm f/2, AI-S Nikkor 105mm f/2.5, Zuiko 100mm f/2.8, Takumar 85mm f/1.9, Canon 100mm f/2, AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G and AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G.

“You're at the mercy of the quality of the 2D plans.”We sit down with Tom from Vision 2 Estimating (V2E) to talk about why traditional construction estimating and 2D-only take-offs are costing builders real money. If you're quoting off PDFs, squinting at elevations, and hoping the details sort themselves out on site, this conversation will hit. It's about accurate building estimates, protecting margin, and pricing work properly in modern Australian residential construction.We take a look at why 3D modelling for builders is not about pretty renders; it's about clarity. Tom explains how 3D estimating, quantity take-offs, and a proper Bill of Quantities (BOQ) help you see what 2D drawings often hide: junctions, returns, missing scope, and the “we'll figure it out later” details that turn into budget blowouts. This is especially relevant for custom homes, high performance builds, and any project where small misses become expensive fast.A big theme is what Tom calls your builder DNA. Every builder has a way they build: preferred details, standard inclusions, sequencing, and products. V2E's approach is to model and estimate based on how you actually build on site, so your pricing matches reality. We also touch on modern estimating tools like PlusSpec (SketchUp plugin), digital BOQs, and connected workflows that make pre-construction smoother and reduce rework, disputes, and variations.If you're a builder, estimator, architect, or construction business owner trying to improve construction cost planning, tender pricing, and job profitability, check this episode out. We talk estimating systems, pre-construction services, reducing risk, and why better estimating is one of the fastest ways to lift building business profitability without working more hours.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're got the full crew in the house once again this week, and a whole bunch of gaming goodies to discuss (per usual), so let's get right into it... Randall gets things started off with an update on his time with Twilight Princess HD, where he's been continuing to make steady progress while playing through the game with his daughter on the weekends! John takes things from there, as he gets started off with his first impressions on the recently released Mina the Hollower from the folks at Yacht Club Games — before ultimately digging into his love/hate relationship with Destiny 2. Finally, Kevin closes things out with some first impressions of his own, after firing up the demo for Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia — a somewhat unexpected sequel to one of his favorite 2D platformers in recent memory.   Timestamps: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD  -  00:02:10 Mina the Hollower  -  00:14:25 Destiny 2  -  00:19:44 Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia  -  00:27:24   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:   

In this episode, we chat with Andrew Hume, Managing Director of Thor Energy, a company operating at the crossroads of critical minerals exploration, natural hydrogen, and the evolving energy transition. We revisit Andrew's career journey and discuss what motivated him to leave the major energy company environment to lead a junior exploration company. We'll explore the challenges of transitioning from oil and gas into mining, how Thor Energy is positioning itself within the rapidly changing energy landscape, and the progress being made across its project portfolio, including the flagship HY-Range natural hydrogen project. We'll also take a closer look at the growing interest in natural hydrogen, its potential role in the global energy mix, and whether it could emerge as a significant new commodity class. Finally, Andrew shares insights into how Thor is combining techniques from both the mining and oil and gas industries, the role of AI in exploration, and some of the key lessons he's learned throughout his career.

Recent shallow geochemical evaluations at the flagship HY Range project revealed an impressive 3% natural hydrogen enhancement in the soil. Thor has partnered with Velseis to initiate a 2D seismic program in late Q3 or early Q4 to map out subsurface structures for future drilling targets. As a lean operator, the company leverages AI tools for advanced data pattern recognition to dramatically increase exploration efficiency and optimise workflows. BEST MOMENTS "We're looking at some of the commodities that sit in between. The intersection of oil and gas exploration, conventional mineral exploration, and equally for development and production." "The headline figure is that we, in one location, we find 3% natural hydrogen in the soil. It really gives us a lot of hope and it really speaks and is a soft clue to the potential volumes." "If you can find natural hydrogen close to mine sites, this allows you to use the hydrogen as an energy source when you oxidise, when you burn hydrogen, you produce water. It's the ultimate clean power." "When you're given opportunities, I recommend everyone to explore. Life's too short."

We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Sarah Vaile to the podcast! Known for her bold use of color, fresh traditional style, and making classic spaces feel lively, Sarah has built an incredible coast-to-coast design firm. After pivoting from a corporate advertising career in her late 20s, she trained under industry icon Celerie Kemble before striking out on her own. Sarah sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to tackle one of interior design's absolute trickiest topics: scale. She shares her brilliant real-world hacks for testing furniture volume before you buy, why she loves wall-to-wall "sofa drenching" in tight spaces, and how to layout a dual-purpose office and guest room to conquer the dreaded "zoom gloom." Quick Decorating Takeaways: Scale is All About Visual Volume: Scale isn't just about simple dimensions; it's the balance of shapes, pattern, and mass in a room. When mixing antique and modern pieces, keep an eye on mass—newer furniture skews much larger ("California scale"), which can easily swallow up older heirloom items. Get Physical in Your Space: Don't rely solely on 2D digital layouts. To build confidence before hitting buy, physically map out a room using blue painter's tape on the floor, arrange empty cardboard boxes to test physical height, or tape a 1-to-1 paper cutout of a light fixture straight to the wall. Try "Sofa Drenching" in Small Rooms: Don't automatically buy a tiny love seat just because a room is tight. Small spaces can actually handle a giant sofa wrapped wall-to-wall. By making the entire room about the seating, you create an incredibly cozy, enveloping, and high-drama jewel box. Don't Get Stranded on "Rug Island": A common design trap is placing a floating area rug in the dead center of a room with all your furniture pushed completely off it. To bridge your hard floors with your texturing, ensure your seating "straddles" both worlds by keeping their front feet on the rug and their back feet off. Banish the Zoom Gloom: Dark colors like navy blue can throw an unflattering, shadowed cast on your face during computer calls. When designing a home office space, look for bright, invigorating colors that act like a flattering backdrop—think pistachios, corals, or soft apricots.

The Pencil Pushers podcast interviews stop-motion animator/director Justin Rasch, who has worked for 30 years across games, TV, and film, including ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Pinocchio, and now directs/writes/supervises at Stump Puppet Pictures while sharing process online. Rasch recounts growing up in Florida inspired by comics, classic cartoons, Secret of NIMH, and practical effects artists, studying 2D and effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, then switching to CG after Jurassic Park. He describes breaking in by portfolio-hunting in 1990s LA, choosing Konami, and later leading animation at Luxoflux on projects like Shrek and True Crime: Streets of LA. Rasch explains how animation principles transfer across 2D/CG/stop motion, details his stop-motion workflow (blocking, shooting on twos, then final on ones), discusses why stop motion is hard to "control," and reflects on AI, audience interest in process, and working with Travis Knight and del Toro. He shares where to find him on Instagram and YouTube.

[Digital Gonzo 2011] Another archival show from my early days, but one that is good enough to be re-released without re-editing. Toy Story 2 was originally begun as a straight-to-VHS sequel, and then-CEO of Disney Michael Eisner was fine with it being done in cheap, 2D animation, similar to Aladdin II: The Return of Jafar, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II and of course the unforgettable (and tasteful) Pocahontas II: Journey to the New World. Pixar undertook the challenge of making this themselves and at a certain point mid-way through production proposed that it be a full theatrical release with a higher budget. The result is still many people's favourite of the series, bringing in complexity and serious decisions for toys that fear for their own existance.  Once again Daniel and I, (here accompanied by Nikki Taylor) delved into the making and execution of this evolving elaboration, which in so many ways represents what Pixar at its best could reach for.  Guests Daniel Floyd of New Frame Plus Nikki Taylor of GameBurst

In this episode of Data in Biotech, host Ross Katz sits down with Paul Finn, Chief Scientific Officer at Oxford Drug Design, for a conversation on what it actually takes to find a drug molecule that works not just on paper but also in the lab, in the cell, and, ultimately, in the clinic. Paul brings four decades of experience across what became GSK, Pfizer, and a series of Oxford-area spinouts and has shepherded a compound all the way to a marketed drug. That perspective gives him a particular kind of skepticism toward AI results that look too good to be true because he's done the work of checking whether they are. The conversation moves through synthesizability as a first-class constraint, why chemistry has proven so much harder for AI than biology, how 3D molecular representation gets closer to the physics that actually matters, and what rigorous multi-parameter optimization looks like when you're trying to kill cancer cells and drug-resistant bacteria at the same time. What you'll learn in this episode: >> Why synthesizability is chronically underestimated and why changing a single atom in a structure can take a molecule from trivially easy to make to practically impossible >> How Oxford Drug Design constrains the generative search to reaction schemes and purchasable building blocks, and why that chemical space is still so vast that novelty is not meaningfully sacrificed >> Why most generative AI models learn from a 2D string representation of a molecule; two steps removed from the 3D physics that govern how a drug actually binds to its target >> How Bayesian optimization over reagent space, rather than molecular space, allows an active learning loop to focus on the structural patterns associated with activity >> Why benchmarking complex models against simple ones is the discipline that exposes false correlations and why Paul and his co-authors were able to recover the Halicin result using methods decades older than deep learning >> What a pharma company should actually ask an AI drug discovery vendor before buying what they're selling Meet our guest: Paul Finn is Chief Scientific Officer at Oxford Drug Design, a computational drug discovery company with roots in Oxford's chemistry department. His career spans over 40 years of computational drug discovery, from early structure-activity modeling in the 1980s through to modern generative AI methods, with deep experience at what became GSK and Pfizer before moving into the Oxford spinout ecosystem. At Oxford Drug Design, Paul leads internal programs in oncology and antibacterial resistance, combining novel computational methods with a rigorous, synthesizability-first approach to multi-parameter optimization.

He explains the strengths and limitations of current screening strategies, reviews the recommendations from major medical organizations, and discusses why screening guidance can often seem confusing or contradictory. Peter outlines a practical framework for understanding breast cancer risk and personalizing screening decisions, including when to begin screening, how frequently to screen, and which imaging modalities may be most appropriate based on an individual's risk profile. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes that while population-based guidelines provide an important foundation, optimizing outcomes requires a more personalized approach aimed at helping women make informed screening decisions that can improve the chances of early detection and successful treatment. We discuss: Why women still die from breast cancer: the benefits of screening, the problem of under-screening, and the need for risk-based screening strategies [1:45]; Current screening recommendations, why they differ between organizations, and the importance of personalized screening decisions [6:30]; A framework for personalizing screening [8:45]; Assessing baseline breast cancer risk: genetics, family history, breast density, lifestyle factors, and the role of risk calculators in personalized screening [9:30]; Balancing cancer detection and false positives: how breast cancer risk influences screening intensity and imaging choices [17:45]; Mammography as the foundation of breast cancer screening: detecting ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and the advantages of 3D versus 2D mammography [21:00]; MRI for high-risk women: the benefits of supplemental screening, abbreviated MRI, and the emerging role of contrast-enhanced mammography [23:00]; The role of ultrasound: supplemental cancer detection, diagnostic evaluation, and limitations compared with mammography and MRI [26:00]; Choosing the right breast cancer screening strategy: imaging modality selection, screening hierarchies, and the importance of imaging center quality [28:00]; How often should you screen for breast cancer? [30:15]; At what age should you start screening? [37:30]; Breast cancer in younger women: aggressive tumor biology, BRCA-related risk, breast density, and individualized decisions about when to begin screening [41:45]; Inflammatory breast cancer, the limitations of screening mammography for symptomatic disease, and the importance of promptly evaluating new breast symptoms in both women and men [44:45]; From risk assessment to personalized screening: a practical framework for reducing breast cancer mortality through earlier and more effective detection [46:30]; and More.

In questo episodio di Educare con calma affronto il tema dei videogiochi e di come introdurli in famiglia con consapevolezza e gradualità. Lo faccio con il supporto di Giulia Dall'Aglio, la nostra persona di riferimento per il benessere digitale, attraverso un estratto di una diretta su La Tela in cui abbiamo riflettuto insieme su paure, limiti e potenzialità legate ai videogiochi.Parto dalla mia esperienza personale con Oliver ed Emily e parliamo di ciò che dicono studi e ricerche sui benefici del digitale: i videogiochi, se scelti e accompagnati con cura, possono diventare uno strumento interessante per sviluppare soft skills e competenze come problem solving, creatività, pensiero critico, autonomia e fiducia in sé. Possono anche aprire spazi di relazione e condivisione. Approfondiamo anche i possibili rischi: dall'importanza di aspettare il più possibile prima di introdurre i videogiochi – scegliendo poi contenuti adatti all'età – fino al tema della frustrazione, dei limiti e di come accompagnarli senza trasformarli in terreno di conflitto. Condividiamo infine alcuni spunti pratici per una preparazione più consapevole all'introduzione dei videogiochi in famiglia.:: I punti salienti dell'episodio:00:00 Introduzione e benvenuto01:25  La mia esperienza con Oliver ed Emily02:20 I benefici dei videogiochi03:50 Rischi e giochi adatti04:53 Consigli sui primi videogiochi07:26 Perché è meglio iniziare con i videogiochi 2D?09:40 Prerequisiti e tolleranza alla frustrazione11:16 Quando è troppo presto13:36 Come introdurli in famiglia14:37 Perché è importante proporre più varietà di videogiochi18:35 Riflessioni finali e saluti:: Potete trovare Giulia:su La Tela (nel ⁠servizio 1-a-1⁠ e in tanti contenuti);sul suo ⁠sito⁠;sul suo ⁠podcast⁠;su ⁠Instagram⁠.:: Nell'episodio menziono:L'abbonamento a Tutta La TelaTrovi i contenuti relazionati a questo episodio nella pagina del podcast su latela.com/podcast: cerca il numero o scrivi il titolo nella lente di ricerca.:: Come appoggiare il podcastIo non faccio pubblicità e non accetto sponsor: fa parte della mia etica dal giorno in cui ho creato La Tela.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Six new plays from Arab American TheaterworksDeborah Copperud of Minneapolis hosts the podcast “Read Minnesota Books.” She's looking forward to a new event, the Festival of New SWANA Plays, this weekend. SWANA stands for Southwest Asian and North African, and it's a culmination of the New Arab American Theater Works Playwright Incubator Program. Open Book in Minneapolis will host staged readings of six new plays by Midwestern SWANA playwrights.Three play readings happen each day at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. with a moderated audience talkback following each show. Tickets are $15 per day.Deborah says the plays are all different: There's a psychological thriller, a fairy tale adaptation, a domestic drama and a travel quest. Sana Wazwaz is a playwright from Minneapolis, and she is presenting “Birthright Palestine” [Saturday at 7 p.m.]. The play was inspired by her experience organizing for Palestinian liberation as a college student.— Deborah Copperud5-Minute Film Festival in DuluthDenise Voie de Vie is a working artist in Duluth specializing in mixed media and acrylics. She's expecting to be part of a good crowd at Prøve Collective this Saturday for their 5-Minute Film Festival. The free event will screen 17 or 18 very short films by local artists, ranging in style from animation to documentary to abstract and beyond. Doors open at 7 p.m.Denise admires the work coming out of Prøve: There is a really lively art scene here in Duluth, and Prøve has carved out that niche for new and upcoming talent. There are a lot of really young and talented people on the board, and they are willing to take chances on art. It's a place where some of the most exciting things happen.— Denise Voie de VieArt meets healthcare in Med CityLauren Hutchinson lives in Rochester, having previously worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She recently enjoyed seeing the exhibition “Forms of Care: The Art of Representing the Body” at Rochester Center for the Arts. It's a thought-provoking multi-artist exhibition that explores the field of medicine and its interaction with human bodies as well as the ethics of representing human bodies in medical texts. The show includes 2D work, sculptures and an opportunity for visitors to sit for portraits. It runs through January 2027.Lauren says: It really makes you question: Can one body be used to represent an entire population of diverse individuals? I hope lots of doctors and medical staff will get to experience the exhibition and see the creativity and artistry that's hidden behind a lot of their work.— Lauren Hutchinson

Dr. Bradley Erickson, Director of the Mayo AI Lab, speaks with HexAI podcast host, Jordan Gass-Pooré in advance of the University of Pittsburgh's annual AI Summer School program in Medical Imaging Informatics organized by Pitt's Health and Explainable AI Research Lab (HexAI) and the Computational Pathology and AI center of Excellence (CPACE). The episode simulates two different professional vantage point scenarios to help students visualize the vast, multi-dimensional landscape of artificial intelligence in healthcare and radiology.The first half of the episode drops students directly into the vantage point of an AI expert attending a technical conference, where medical imaging informatics are being contrasted with everyday computer vision. Dr. Erickson explains how medical data often extends into multiple dimensions by incorporating complex spatial matrices and tissue properties like T1 and T2 tracking on MRIs, far surpassing standard 2D photographic pixels. He highlights why generic consumer AI tools like simple heat maps or saliency maps fall short of establishing clinical trust; while they can successfully point to where a brain tumor is, they completely fail to explain what that tumor is or why it is changing texture. Furthermore, Dr. Erickson discusses the profound challenge of "ground truth" uncertainty in medicine, explaining that training predictive algorithms is incredibly difficult because definitive biological labels are frequently masked by biological reactions or a lack of definitive longitudinal data.The second half of the podcast episode places students into the role and vantage point of a hospital administrator, exposing students to the active economic and structural deliberations currently playing out in modern hospital boardrooms. Dr. Erickson underscores the considerations and financial constraints that hospitals contend with and explains that while new narrowly focused diagnostic AI tools are attractive, the most immediate return on investment for hospitals often comes from practical, language-based text summarization and ambient patient recording systems. Crucially, this administrative perspective teaches students that the health industry desperately needs supportive roles beyond traditional doctors and researchers, such as AI project managers, integration specialists, and governance officers who can oversee model confidence and decide exactly when to adapt AI solutions or pull failing applications or algorithms back.Dr. Erickson emphasizes that entering this revolutionary field requires a willingness to learn through iteration, push back on assumptions, and manage the critical intersections of technology, safety, and human care. Through an open exploration of technical hurdles and administrative realities, the episode provides a rich conceptual primer for AI Summer School participants designed to cultivate critical thinking informing views on AI in medical imaging, hands-on project development and coding.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#214 The Mouse That Stole Tim's Soul - Podcast Show Notes Summary 5-30-26 Entertainment News: Tim gives his spoiler-light take on The Mandalorian & Grogu movie (he went in with zero expectations and came out pleasantly surprised—it feels like two high-budget episodes stitched together for the big screen). The guys also cover Sony's majority purchase of the Peanuts franchise, the sad passing of legendary voice actor Tom Kane, the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer, Karen Gillan joining Shrinking Season 4, and their growing appreciation for the Bill Lawrence TV universe (Scrubs, Rooster, and Running Point with Kate Hudson). Nate's been revisiting Star Trek: Voyager reruns via Pluto TV's delightfully chaotic syndication shuffle.   Life Stories: Tim opens up about the tough (and first-time) experience of letting go of his employee—who also happened to be a friend and next-door neighbor—after the guy couldn't pass the required technical test. Almost immediately they lucked into hiring a new team member from the glazing industry who's already bonding hard with Tim over Halo lore. Both hosts share how packed their June (and early July) calendars are with birthdays, a final trip to the soon-to-closing Wild Waves water park, family commitments, and a few show date bumps. Nate adds some wholesome dad moments, including joyful motorcycle rides with his daughter and niece that had everyone smiling.   Gaming News: Tim is completely obsessed with Mina the Hollower, calling it one of the most charming, dense, and brilliantly designed 2D action-adventures he's ever played (think Link's Awakening meets Bloodborne with a sassy mouse protagonist, clever burrowing mechanics, absurd humor, and pixel-perfect modern polish). Nate has been tearing through Forza Horizon 6 in Japan, raving about the visual upgrades, weather effects, and dense world, while also dipping into Luna Abyss and looking forward to playing Destiny 2 post-sunset without the usual FOMO pressure.   Tech News: They discuss Ferrari's sleek new $640K electric hypercar co-designed by Jony Ive (1,035 horsepower, physical buttons, curved display, and a very un-Ferrari-but-still-cool vibe), Meta's controversial new paid subscription tiers for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp (alongside another round of layoffs in Seattle), and the spectacular methane-fueled rapid unscheduled disassembly (RUD) of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket during a static fire test. They close with housekeeping notes about flexible scheduling through the busy summer months, but promise the episodes will keep coming.   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life.After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely.Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Inspired by the podcast's conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms. Her persistence led to the discovery of an early-stage invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; a diagnosis that may have otherwise gone undetected for years.In this powerful episode, Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, self-advocacy, treatment, and recovery, offering an inspiring reminder of the importance of knowing your risk, trusting your instincts, and speaking up for your health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jared Correia takes us on a psychedelic tour of Memphis before diving into the complex world of tax optimization for business owners.  First, in the monologue, Jared recaps his "mind-f***" trip to Graceland. From the Jungle Room's porcelain monkeys and a bright yellow-and-black TV room to Elvis's Gatorade-stocked private jets, Jared explains why the King's estate is essentially "Redneck Disney World"—a 14-acre compound built to the god of capitalism.  Then, Jared sits down with Megan Robin, owner of Megan Robin Law. Megan holds an LLM in Tax Law and explains how she fills the "multidisciplinary gap" for law firm owners.  In this interview, we discuss: The Conventional Retirement Trap: Why aggressive 401k saving might not make sense for high-earning "knowledge workers" who peak later in life.  The CFO Gap: Why your $500-per-return accountant likely isn't providing a proactive tax strategy.  Real Estate vs. Wall Street: The hidden conflict of interest in Assets Under Management (AUM) fees and why your advisor might be steering you away from property investments.  Niching for Lawyers: Why Megan focuses on the unique entrepreneurial mindset of law firm owners.  Finally, stick around for a new segment: "Taxing Myths and Legends." Jared tests Megan on the weirdest taxes in human history. Find out which are real—from the Ancient Roman urine tax to the 19th-century Ohio squirrel scalp tax.  Learn more about Megan Robin.

If you think AI is just another productivity tool your business can bolt on to stay ahead, Shawn Busse has a wake-up call for you. In this riveting conversation, Brandon Laws sits down with Shawn Busse, founder of marketing firm Kinesis, keynote speaker, and one of the sharpest strategic thinkers in the business world, to unpack a truth that most leaders aren't ready to hear: AI isn't going to save companies that have optimized the creativity out of themselves. Shawn draws on provocative ideas from "The Great Rotation" by Latticework, Kent Beck's explore-expand-extract model, and Blue Ocean Strategy to build a compelling case that decades of Wall Street-driven optimization have left businesses intellectually hollowed out, right at the moment when original thinking matters most. From the collapse of "AI slop" content marketing to the resurgence of the physical, tactile "3D world," this episode is packed with ideas that will challenge how you think about your organization, your people, and your competitive future. Key Timestamps [00:01] Welcome and Introduction Brandon introduces Shawn Busse and the central thesis of the episode: AI is not going to save uncreative, non-innovative companies. [01:20] "The Great Rotation": AI and the Supply Shock in the Digital World Shawn unpacks the Latticework article that crystallized his thinking: how AI has turbocharged oversupply in the 2D digital world and why the 3D, tangible world is where value is shifting next. [04:52] The Rise of "AI Slop" and Why Playing the Volume Game Is a Losing Strategy The conversation turns to how AI-generated content floods channels with "halfway decent" material, and why competing on volume alone is a dead end for businesses. [07:00] Real-World AI Use Cases: Bookkeeping, Contracts, and Appraisals Shawn shares his own eye-opening experiences using AI to replace a $700 bookkeeping task and to expose critical flaws in a real estate appraisal at zero cost, illustrating how AI is moving up market one low-risk task at a time. [11:34] Business Is in a Crisis of Creativity Shawn delivers his TED talk moment: how 40+ years of Wall Street-driven optimization has squeezed creativity out of corporate America, and how AI is now wiping out the very jobs that optimization produced. [13:00] The ADP Effect: When Profit Becomes the Enemy of Innovation Using ADP as a case study, Shawn examines how large companies generate extraordinary profit margins while actively cutting employees and delivering diminishing value, and what that signals for the future. [19:31] The Subscription Trap: How Innovation Gave Way to Lock-In From HP printers to Adobe to Google, Shawn traces the arc of once-great innovators who traded breakthrough products for recurring revenue extraction, and why AI may finally break those lock-ins. [22:43] Kent Beck's Model: Explore, Expand, Extract, and What Comes Next Shawn walks through Kent Beck's framework for understanding business lifecycles and makes the case that AI's real opportunity isn't labor replacement; it's unlocking entirely new ways to create value. [24:40] A Live Example: Using AI to Transform LinkedIn Marketing Strategy Shawn shares a compelling real client story, using AI to analyze a year's worth of LinkedIn data across 18 employees, and the surprising insights about storytelling that emerged with zero expensive subscriptions required. [28:48] 10% GDP Growth and 10% Unemployment: Weighing Dario Amodei's Prediction Brandon raises the Anthropic CEO's striking economic forecast. Shawn offers a grounded, honest take: respect the prediction, don't panic, but don't ignore it either. [31:43] From Skeptic to Believer: Shawn's Own AI Journey Shawn reflects on how he went from dismissing AI as Silicon Valley hype to making it a core part of his strategic worldview, and why maintaining a beginner's mind is harder than it sounds. [33:07] The Opportunity for Small Business: Where Small Can Beat Big Why the democratization of software through AI could give small and mid-sized businesses their best competitive opportunity in decades, if they're willing to think creatively. [35:02] The Digital Rejection Wave: Phones, Schools, and Anxious Generations The conversation broadens to the rising cultural pushback against screen saturation, what it means for the next workforce, and why the "soft skills" of curiosity, empathy, and communication may be the most AI-proof assets a person can have. [38:35] Blue Ocean Strategy: The Best Answer to an AI-Commoditized World Shawn closes with his rallying cry: stop competing in red oceans of optimized mediocrity and start creating things that have never existed before. AI can optimize what already exists, but it cannot imagine what doesn't yet.

BurnerSphere is part immersive documentary, party social VR platform, and part digital twin of Burning Man. It's a standalone VR experience that launched in early alpha for both Quest and Steam on July 22, 2025. It's an evolution of the original Burning Man on AltSpace that I covered back in episodes #940, #960, & #1192, and now they have their own standalone social VR platform that has a digital twin of Burning Man that creates a spatial context for a ton of immersive documentary content that's shot in 360-degree video, stereoscopic 180-degree video, gaussian splats, 3D-modeled recreations, 3D photos, and 2D photos and videos. It's a vast archive that has a taster that is completely free, but you can also pay camp dues to become a member to get access to all of the footage as well as special events. I interviewed the cofounders of Big Rock Creative (BRCvr) Athena Demos and Doug Jacobson back in November 2025 to get the latest updates in what's happening with their hybrid immersive documentary archive and nascent social VR platform. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

We've got a project potpourri this week of things we've been getting our hands on, literally in the case of Will and his brand new Steam Controller. We talk through the ins and outs of Valve's first new hardware in a while, including button feel, a variety of use cases, what you can do with it if Steam isn't present, and more. Will's also been in the mouse labs, testing an 8000Hz polling rate and glass feet, and finally, he reports on what he's gotten out of his first month with a new 3D printer. Brad's also been down a rabbit hole on 2D printing (and has the battle scars to prove it) with some news and revelations about paper printers new and old. Projects! Support the Pod!
