My guest in this episode is Andrew Jacobs, founder of the first-ever Podcast Learning Festival, which took place in London this February. The event brought together podcasters, learning professionals, and people interested in how podcasts can support learning. Andrew is the founder of Llarn and an award-winning learning professional, speaker, writer, and podcaster. Over the past two decades, he has helped organizations rethink how people learn. His work has been recognized across the industry, including receiving the Jay Cross Memorial Award for innovation in informal learning. He's also a regular contributor to conferences, publications, podcasts, and industry events around the world, and he produces the Women Talking About Learning podcast. In this conversation, Andrew shares what inspired him to launch the Podcast Learning Festival, what he learned from bringing together voices from across the learning community, and why podcasts continue to be such a powerful medium for sharing ideas and knowledge. Four key themes emerged from our discussion. First, learning doesn't always have to happen in formal settings. Podcasts create opportunities for people to learn continuously in ways that fit naturally into their lives. Second, learning podcasts are about more than simply reading information or having conversations. They need to be designed in a way that helps listeners understand concepts, make connections, and apply what they've learned. Third, podcasts are about more than content, they can build communities. Andrew talks about the connections, conversations, and relationships that emerge when people gather around shared interests and ideas. And fourth, innovation often starts with taking the first step. As the creator of the first Podcast Learning Festival, Andrew shares both the opportunities and challenges of turning an idea into reality. If you're interested in learning, podcasting, or bringing new ideas to life, I think you'll find a lot of value in this conversation.

In 2017, Wayne Hsiung and a crew of animal rights activists from Direct Action Everywhere broke into a Utah pig farm run by Smithfield Foods, one of the largest pork distributors in the world. They were there to capture video of what they say were thousands of mistreated and abused animals kept in tiny metal cages barely bigger than their bodies. As they were leaving, they took two sick piglets out with them. Prosecutors in Utah charged Wayne with burglary and theft. What came next was the court battle that he wanted all along. During his trial, Wayne made a truly bizarre argument that forced the jury, and all of us, to stare straight at our complicated, sometimes uncomfortable relationship with animals. This week on the show, we grapple with the impossible question at the center of it: What is the value of a piglet? Special thanks to Kim Nederveen Pieterse, Nathan Peereboom, Jo Eidman, Sam Kozloff, Rachel Gross, Alex Allaux, and Joan Schaffner.

History is full of revenge stories - but almost none of them spiral into full-blown, years-long war against an entire nation. This week, host Ben Thompson is joined by producer Andrew Jacobs to dive into the blood-soaked legend of Jeremiah “Liver-Eating” Johnson -a mountain man who survived brutal winters, outlaws, and ambushes… and then allegedly spent years hunting down members of the Crow Nation after the murder of his family. It's a story of myth vs. reality, frontier violence, and one man's transformation into something closer to folklore than human. Because when your nickname is Liver-Eating, you're already way past the point of reasonable behavior.

Ice. Starvation. Total darkness. And somewhere out there — a polar bear that would very much like to eat you. On this episode, Ben Thompson is joined by producer Andrew Jacobs to break down the life of Fridtjof Nansen — Arctic explorer, record-setting skier, neuroscientist, diplomat, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the only man in history to drift across the polar ice cap on purpose. Nansen didn't just explore the Arctic — he weaponized it. He froze his own ship into the pack ice to prove a scientific theory. He skied farther north than any human had ever gone. And when he was done conquering the planet's most hostile environment, he turned around and saved hundreds of thousands of refugees. This one has frostbite, philosophy, and a man who genuinely believed the only way out… was further in.

Oregon became the first in the nation to legalize psychedelic therapy through psilocybin back in 2020. What soon followed were bans in various jurisdictions, large costs for individuals seeking treatment and other barriers to access. Now, new reporting from The New York Times found that a third of psilocybin service centers have closed and other states have also begun offering this therapy, including Colorado and New Mexico. Andrew Jacobs is a health and science reporter for the NYT. He joins us to share more on where things stand in Oregon’s program and what other states have learned from the state’s first-in-the-nation rollout.

To celebrate this 400th episode, I'm joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners. In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction. Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle. We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don't know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about chasing wealth. It's about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security.
