Tackling Mental Health, Finding Hope on Social Media (0:36)Guest: Caroline Kaufman @poeticpoison, Author of “When The World Didn't End”Caroline Kaufman started posting raw, personal poetry on Instagram when she was a freshman in high school. At first, she did it anonymously under the handle @poeticpoison. Then her poems went viral and her following grew to over a 100,000. Teenagers, in particular, connected with her short, powerful poems about struggling with mental illness, thoughts of suicide, learning to cope with heart break and how to be kinder to herself. Six years later, Caroline Kaufman is attending Harvard and publishing her second poetry collection –the first came out in 2018, last year it was called “Light Filters In.” Her latest is “When the World Didn't End."  (Orignally Aired 8/28/2019) What Do Superhero Movies Need a Science Advisor For? (20:28)Guest: Jennifer Ouellette, Senior Reporter, Ars Technican; Sean Carroll, Theoretical Physicist, California Institute of TechnologyWhen you're trying to tell a good story for the silver screen, you can't get bogged down in the scientific details. You could argue we watch TV and go to the movie theater to escape reality. But many Hollywood producers and directors do care about getting at least some of the science right. The National Academy of Sciences even has a program to put the entertainment industry in touch with top scientists and engineers to advise them.  (Originally aired 1/30/2019)  Singing Builds Community (50:41)Guest: Eiluned Pearce, PhD, Research Fellow, University College LondonWhether it's at church, or a big game or just in the car with friends, we've all spent time singing with other people. Even if you're the type who would rather die than be caught singing a solo, it's still hard to deny that a bit of group singing in the right context is kinda nice. Why is that?  (Originally aired 8/8/2019) Sharing Funny Posts on the Internet Could Be a Copyright Violation (1:05:38)Guest: Ruth Carter, Attorney, Carter Law Firm, Author of “The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to get Sued, Fired, Arrested, or Killed”When something doesn't seem fair, it really irks Julie. Always has. So she's irritated when she sees a funny video or cleverly-captioned photo pop up on my social media feed and it's gone massively viral. And I want to “like” or “share it.” But the person who made the video or photo isn't actually the person getting the viral credit for it. Somebody else with a bigger following snagged the content and posted it to their feed and they're getting all the traffic –and probably even making a buck off it.  Shouldn't there be a law that prevents this kind of rampant ripping off of other people's property?  (Originally Aired 9/10/2019) In School, It's the Mindset That Matters (1:22:59)Guest: David Yeager, Associate Professor of Psychology at The University of Texas at AustinWhat if one hour at the start of freshman year could set your child up for more success in high school? It's an online program in two thirty-minute sessions, and when researchers tested it on more than 12,000 students it seemed to help both the struggling students and the high-achievers.  (Originally Aired 9/24/2019)

Cherokee Nation Sends Its First Delegate to CongressGuest: Chuck Hoskin, Jr. Principal Chief of the Cherokee NationFor the first time in US history, a Native American tribe is sending a delegate to Congress. Now, there are already a handful of Native Americans serving in Congress from a number of states. But the Cherokee Nation is sending a delegate to represent their own sovereign Native American government. The Effort to Bring Bison Back to the WestGuest: Kurt Repanshek, Founder & Editor-In-Chief of Nationalparkstraveler.org; Author “Re-Bisoning the West: Restoring An American Icon To The Landscape”“Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play.” Have you ever wondered “Home on the Range” –the “unofficial anthem” of the American West -starts with buffalo roaming? I've eaten buffalo burger, but I've never seen buffalo roaming wild and I'm from the West. There are only about half a million buffalo in America today –most of those are being farmed for meat. And yet, the buffalo –or bison, same thing –is at the center of the Department of Interior's official seal and on the National Park Service emblem and, just a few years ago Congress made it the official mammal of the United States. Why are we so enamored of bison? Lava Mae and Mobile HygieneGuest: Doniece Sandoval, Founder and CEO of Lava MaeAfter a hard workout or a long day at work, a shower just feels so good. It's nice to be clean. But what if you didn't ever have access to a shower? How would it affect your confidence and social life?  Or your ability to get a job? Most homeless people don't have access to a shower. Lava Mae is a nonprofit that has provided thousands of free showers for the homeless through buses converted into shower units. Since we talked to CEO Doniece Sandoval a few years ago, her idea has turned into a movement. Video Games and the Relation to Teen Violence: Is the Blame Justified?Guest: James D. Ivory, Professor and Research Director, Department of Communication, Virginia TechWhy do violent video games always come up in the days after another mass shooting in America? Politicians of both parties have, for years, called out video games for promoting violence. And it makes sense that spending hours shooting people indiscriminately in a virtual world might translate over to the real world. Sharing Funny Posts on the Internet Could Be a Copyright ViolationGuest: Ruth Carter, Attorney, Carter Law Firm, Author of “The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to Get Sued, Fired, Arrested, or Killed”When something doesn't seem fair, it really irks me. Always has. So I'm irritated when I see a funny video or cleverly-captioned photo pop up on my social media feed and it's gone massively viral. And I want to “like” or “share it.” But –and here's the fairness part –the person who made the video or photo isn't actually the person getting the viral credit for it. Somebody else with a bigger following snagged the content and posted it to their feed and they're getting all the traffic –and probably even making a buck off it. So then, I'm thinking, “Well I don't want to help this cheater. I want to go like the original post and give credit to the person who created it.” But I can't find the original online –it's hard to track those things down. And really, shouldn't there be a law that prevents this kind of rampant ripping off of other people's property? Educational Technology from Film Strips to Virtual RealityGuest: Rachel Wadham, Host, Worlds Awaiting on BYUradio, Education and Juvenile Collections Librarian, BYU
