Podcasts about CRT

At Summer Game Fest 2026 I went hands-on with Annapurna's lineup, and there's a lot to be excited about — starting with my most anticipated of the show, Silent Hill: Townfall.Townfall makes a bold move from third-person to first-person horror on Unreal Engine 5, with one-to-one scale, a CRT-style signal device, and a no-HUD design where your character's thoughts surface as on-screen text — and it looks gorgeous. Then The Lost Wild from Giant Ape flips the script on dinosaur games with an “anti-kill,” stealth-survival approach that treats dinosaurs as creatures rather than enemies, plus a supernatural twist. And Demi rounds it out as a cute, casual, Zelda-esque dungeon crawler.

On YAS Podcast, host Daisy Ducati interviews Dr. Mireille Miller-Young (UC Santa Barbara), author of A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography, about researching Black women's labor, representation, and sexual agency in adult media. Miller-Young discusses identifying in solidarity with sex workers, academic stigma and career pushback, and how sex workers cared for her during fieldwork as she sought to disrupt extractive research traditions. She explains developing a “Black feminist pornographic gaze,” critiques anti-porn feminism's shallow analysis and alignment with criminalization, and connects policies like the Nordic model and FOSTA-SESTA to increased danger and deplatforming. The conversation also addresses racialized policing of massage parlors, censorship and surveillance in academia, and her argument that Black women navigate both exploitation and agency through “erotic sovereignty,” urging listeners to avoid stigma and center sex workers' voices.   All the Chapters   00:00 Conference Backlash 00:39 Podcast Welcome 02:00 Pronouns Solidarity 04:34 Care From Workers 07:07 Awards And Motherhood 09:00 Research Origins 11:47 Labor Roots Story 14:48 Archive Hunt 16:31 Pornographic Gaze 20:52 Policy And Policing 23:29 FOSTA SESTA Fallout 26:23 Surveillance Creep 28:20 AI Sex Project 30:23 Academic Silencing 32:52 Fear of Wokeism 33:29 CRT and Property 34:50 Education Under Attack 36:11 News Burnout Break 36:53 Support the Podcast 37:24 Book Exploitation and Agency 37:51 Feminist Sex Wars 38:28 Queer Porn Counterculture 42:36 Respectability Backlash 48:49 Erotic Sovereignty Theory 50:04 Money Sex Fame 51:33 Sex Work History Choices 01:00:19 Stigma Media Literacy 01:03:04 Sexual Radical Future 01:05:16 Closing and Where to Find   All the links   Dr. Mireille Website Donate to our work  ⁠YAS Work Instagram⁠ ⁠YAS Work BlueSky⁠ ⁠YAS Work Twitter⁠ ⁠YAS Work Youtube YASStore.Shop

Breht is joined by A.J.A. Woods, author of The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy: Why the Right Blames the Frankfurt School for the Decline of the West. In this conversation, they explore the genealogy of the "Cultural Marxism" myth, the reactionary forces that shaped it, and the way it continues to animate right-wing attacks on liberation movements, critical thought, and social progress. Moving from the upheavals of the long 1960s through Lyndon LaRouche, the New Right, the Tea Party, and today's panics over "wokeness," CRT, and gender, Woods shows how "Cultural Marxism" functions less as a coherent theory than as a flexible ideological weapon: one that explains away popular struggles for equality and emancipation as elite manipulation, cultural subversion, and civilizational decay. The result is a rich historical and political analysis of one of the contemporary right's most influential myths, and of the broader culture-war terrain on which reaction, neoliberalism, and authoritarianism increasingly converge.   ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our NEW REV LEFT MERCH with Goods For The People HERE Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

In episode 273 of Behaviour Speak, we're joined by Mikala Chee of the Diné (Navajo) Nation, Sanoe Rapozo, a Native Hawaiian,  and Abbey Woldt of the Ho-Chunk Nation—three Indigenous undergraduate scholars whose work spans nursing, psychology, and neuroscience. Together, they share their journeys into higher education, the challenges of navigating predominantly Western academic systems, and their collaboration on a community research team (CRT) mentored by Dr. Anna Fetter and focused on developing culturally grounded measures of stress and mental health for Indigenous college students. This conversation explores what happens when Indigenous students not only enter academia—but begin to reshape it. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/r4guaLEQhi0 Follow us!

This week on NAFC, Mox returns from Hong Kong Comic Con 2026 with stories about the latest trends, convention insanity, and things that probably shouldn't exist but somehow do.Izzy says goodbye to a piece of history after selling his 25-year-old 40" CRT, prompting the crew to reflect on a simpler time when TVs weighed as much as refrigerators. Sindi is back as a guest, helping keep the conversation only slightly on track.The gang also shares thoughts on Undertone and Golden Boy, while Izzy recounts the experience of watching Witch Hat Atelier at a sushi bar and realizing that anime in public still feels vaguely illegal.Finally, they dive into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)—Nintendo goes full cosmic, the plumbers leave Earth behind, and somehow the stakes are bigger than ever.

College. The one place where you can get class credit for being tortured by a madman and his brute henchman. Where getting into a tub in your skimpy underwear and projecting your inner most fears onto a CRT television is taken as par for the course.

Show Notes  Pediatric vital signs are more than numbers on a monitor — they are part of a larger clinical picture that includes development, physiology, behavior, medical complexity and careful observation. In this episode of Acute Conversations, host Dr. Leo Arguelles is joined by Ashley Parish, PT, DPT, PhD, CRT, CCS, and Dawn Drumm, PT, DHSc, two contributors to the new Pediatric Vital Signs Guide. Together, they discuss how the resource came to life, why collaboration across APTA Acute Care, the Academy of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy, and pediatric clinicians was essential, and how the guide can support therapists across settings. Ashley and Dawn share the challenges of building a practical document from variable pediatric references, the importance of using the guide alongside clinical reasoning, and why pediatric knowledge matters even for therapists who primarily treat adults. From infants in the NICU to adults living with congenital conditions, this episode highlights the need to think across the lifespan. Today's Guests: Dawn Drumm PT, DHSc ddrumm@luriechildrens.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-drumm-b141b455/ IG: drummdawn Ashley Parish PT, DPT, PhD, CRT, CCS ashbrown@uab.edu https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-parish-pt-dpt-phd-crt-ccs-b98b60273/ IG: ashleyparish_pt Guest Quotes: 18:31 Ashley “ What we came up with originally, and Dawn will probably laugh, it’s a massive- massive document. It was a textbook. And we were like- … “Yeah, we gotta shave this down and make it like a guide people can actually use in clinic practice.” 21:05 Dawn “First look at the document, it’s a great overview of just the lifespan within a pediatric lens. And so honing in on those first few areas of content, it just gives you kind of basics. Heart rate through the lifespan, your, respiratory rate… I think that beginning section is really important to highlight so that way you’re getting your foundational guidance that way.” 28:51 Ashley “ If you specifically wanna go into acute care peds, sometimes it’s difficult to find a job because there aren’t as many pediatric hospitals as there are adult hospitals, so just hang in there if it’s really hard for you to get on at first. Get experience in acute care. That always looks really good if you go from an adult hospital to a pediatric hospital. But those jobs do open up, so just be patient if you can’t find one right out of school ’cause no one likes to leave pediatric acute care. It’s the best setting.” Rapid Responses:  What's your favorite color scrubs to wear while you’re at work? Ashley “ Oh, since I’m a peds therapist, it’s always fun, bright colors. I would say Barney purple is my favorite set. Barney purple.” Dawn “ Okay. So sadly, we don’t actually have to wear scrubs at work. Oh, wow … and we don’t have a color. But I feel like physical therapy was always blue. We always were like- … blue at county, Going with my basic blue.”  You know you’re an acute care therapist when… Ashley “You have a distain for purewicks.” Dawn “ You've have changed more diapers than you would probably like. Yes. So getting down- In both adult and pediatrics, right? Both. Oh, yes … you can’t get away without poop talk.” Links: Pediatric Vital Sign Interpretation in Acute Care Guide 2025 https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/24/7681/xml https://www.sralab.org/research/labs/max-nader-rto/projects/intervention-promote-motor-development-infants

Not-so-hot take: you can't play Centipede or Missile Command with a joystick. Tempest isn't Tempest without a spinner. Twin-stick shooters like Robotron: 2084 demand TWIN STICKS.

In memory of Terry Bacon 1950-2015 Today we welcome Mark Bacon back to the show to finally tell his story. We last heard from Mark in episode 127, as we talked about our time together on the South East CRT, but this story puts the spotlight squarely on a very private man's life. I have personally wanted to do his episode for years, but Mark being Mark, did not want to come on to talk about himself. Sgt Bacon takes us about to growing up in Missouri, country life, and his path to gaining a love and respect for the law enforcement profession. Marks LE journey started in Missouri, and he quickly developed a work ethic and passion that he would eventually come to Dallas Pd.   Dallas PD Assignments: Patrol Operation Disruption Southeast CRT Narcotics: Street Squads, Lab Unit Creator of the Overdose Squad Promotion of Sgt: Patrol, CRT, Sgt of Overdose Squad, Dallas Mayors Detail As you can see the man is successful and this is just noting his professional side with DPD. Mark is much more than his amazing police work and leadership, he is an even better father, husband, and friend.   FINALLY……The life of Sgt Mark Bacon

Kevin sits down with Henry Morris, founder of Support Our Shields. Henry shares his journey from a traumatic childhood marked by domestic violence and the crack epidemic, to 25 years in media ministry, and why he now boldly advocates for law enforcement. He exposes the woke infiltration of the church — including hosting BLM activists and CRT teachings — and reveals the devastating real-world impact of demonizing police. From the Ferguson Effect to rising officer deaths, defund-style chaos in cities, and the latest protests against ICE, Henry brings hard truths, personal stories, and biblical clarity on law and order.

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents.He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes.With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.You can learn more about the Teacher Freedom Alliance by visiting their website: https://www.teacherfreedomalliance.com/ and you can follow Ryan Walters on X, along with this podcast and Host Amanda Head by searching for their respective handles: @RyanWalters_, @AmandaHead, and @FurthermorePod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when a 20-year Critical Race Theory advocate begins to question everything she believed about race, justice, and the church? In this episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Monique Duson — co-founder of the Center for Biblical Unity — to unpack why she left the CRT framework behind and what the Bible actually teaches about racial unity, justice, and the body of Christ. Monique shares her journey from South Central LA to the mission field in South Africa, and how a series of hard conversations with a friend led her back to Scripture — and away from critical social theory. Together, Robert and Monique explore the origins of CRT, how it has infiltrated the church, and why biblical unity is not the same as racial reconciliation. If you're a Christian parent, pastor, or educator trying to navigate conversations about race with a biblical worldview, this episode gives you the theological grounding and practical clarity to do it well.   Resources: Center for Biblical Unity: https://centerforbiblicalunity.com   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by CC Graduate Degree in Latin Studies: Classical Conversations is excited to announce the launch of our new accredited Graduate Program in Latin Studies, an 18-credit hour program designed speciϐically for homeschooling parents who want to deepen their understanding of classical Christian education in Latin writing and translation.

Ep. 128 - What's the difference between Hispanic and Latino—and do those terms really mean the same thing? In this episode of The Latino Business Report, we sit down with Dr. Maria Del Carmon Unda to explore the origins and evolving meanings of Hispanic, Latino, and Chicano.

"I always loved school. I was one of those people who played school with my siblings." Dana Stangel-Plowe, now Chief Program Officer at the North American Values Institute (NAVI), went from lawyer to beloved high school English teacher at her kids' private school in suburban New Jersey—until she watched "an anti-intellectual, anti-liberal ideology" infiltrate the curriculum, one that focused on identity and power and fundamentally "changed the way my students interacted with each other, interacted with our books." When her concerns fell on deaf ears, Dana resigned publicly in 2021 during the height of CRT debates, arguing that while critical race theory wasn't being explicitly taught, its framework was "embedded in the curriculum, embedded in programming, embedded in the way that the school wanted the students and the teachers to relate to one another." Dana warns that "one of the scariest things of the current moment is that young people believe that words are violence"—the opposite of what a liberal society needs, where "words need to be met with more words." . Her research shows students "can't name the three branches of government" as "national literacy rates have declined," revealing how this ideological approach is failing our students. But Dana also offers hope: "Courage is contagious. I have seen with my students that where one person starts whispering, other people start whispering and soon the whispers get louder." Her advice for students living in fear? "Ask questions. When you ask a question, you're opening up other pathways to thinking. You're not necessarily expressing certainty that somebody is wrong and that you're right. You're just asking questions."Dana's work at NAVI now focuses on exposing extremist curriculum, achieving transparency so parents can see what's happening in schools, and restoring the culture of open inquiry where "free speech is a value, where people aren't afraid."

Anthropic's new Mythos model didn't just get better at writing code — it got better at breaking it. In an hour, an AI mapped decades of hidden vulnerabilities across live systems. In four hours, a supply chain attack silently exfiltrated 500,000 credentials and compromised 20,000 repositories. The question isn't whether this is alarming. It's whether the companies and governments responsible for protecting critical infrastructure — water, power, gas — are anywhere close to ready. On this episode of The BroBots, Jeremy and Jason work through what Anthropic's internal memo actually said, what a cyberweapon-grade AI changes about the attack surface, and why Jason thinks the survivalists have been right all along.Key Moments00:00 — Anthropic's Mythos: what the internal memo actually said and why it's different01:38 — The LiteLLM supply chain attack: how 500,000 credentials were stolen in 4 hours04:27 — Zero-day attacks explained: why signature-based detection can't stop what it hasn't seen06:44 — Mythos vs. prior models: from 60s to 77–78% effectiveness — what that jump means09:34 — Jeremy tries to find the optimism: Glasswing, the $100M security head start11:06 — The real threat: why utilities and infrastructure are the soft targets13:21 — Regulation vs. arms race: should billionaire AI companies have a leash?15:13 — The nuclear analogy: what a global AI treaty would actually require17:09 — 'Easy mode': the counterargument that Mythos's test conditions were unrealistic20:22 — Jason's actual survival advice: fire, water, neighbors, and a CRT in the atticFollow Brobots: www.brobots.me/follow

In this episode, Dr. Kenneth Ellenbogen, Deputy Editor of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, discusses new long-term findings from the His-Alternative I trial, the first European randomized study comparing His-bundle pacing with conventional biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). He highlights five-year outcomes demonstrating that when His-bundle pacing is achieved with low implant thresholds, its long-term performance—including lead stability, generator replacements, and clinical response—closely mirrors that of biventricular CRT. Dr. Ellenbogen explores the implications of these results for contemporary conduction system pacing practice, the importance of strict implant criteria, and how these data help refine patient selection and procedural strategy in CRT.

New York's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani just signed an emergency order locking Americans out of freely celebrating the 250th anniversary of America in Times Square because the World Cup matters more than the July 4th ball drop. No big crowds for the country that invented freedom of assembly, but endless migrant shelters and anti-white “equity” offices get a free pass. This isn't about safety; it's by design from a mayor with open contempt for American pride, love, and hope. While the left screams “racist” at anyone waving the flag, they push DEI, CRT, and “racial equity” departments that openly discriminate against whites. Joe rips the mask off: this is straight-up hatred for the nation that gave them the platform to hate it.Then the hypocrisy explodes. MSNBC's Joy Reid claims “whites can't invent anything” — while sitting in air-conditioning, using a phone, speaking English, and promoting her show on devices powered by white ingenuity. Patrick lists the receipts: Gutenberg's printing press, Edison's light bulb, Bell's telephone, the Wright brothers' airplane, Fleming's penicillin, Ford's assembly line, and more — inventions that built the modern world she mocks. Meanwhile, an entire generation of 18-30 white males is being deliberately softened: endless gaming, weed, porn, no families, no drive. Schools fuel it with “day of silence” rituals, transgender propaganda, non-binary teacher intros, and politicians like Texas Dem James Talarico claiming cops in schools create “violence.” It's not random; it's the engineered collapse of the very men who built this country.This division is the Marxist playbook in action. Democrat Sen. Ed Markey preaches “immigrants have a right to dignity,” while illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers $150.7 billion net every year money that could house the homeless, treat addiction, fix schools, or improve roads for actual Americans. Yet refugees? Nearly 100% from South Africa's white farmers facing genocide and land seizures. Republicans get painted as heartless for wanting legal process, while the system rigs everything against citizens. Joe brings the red pills, exposes the two realities we're forced to live in, and shows why both sides' gridlock serves the same agenda. This isn't entertainment — it's your weekly reminder that the fight is real. Unplug from the lies, stand for truth, and remember: failure is not an option.

CRT and SCAI Partnership

In this episode from RSA Conference 2026, Marco Ciappelli sits down with Ben Halpert, founder of the non-profit organization Savvy Cyber Kids, to discuss the critical intersection of child development and technology. Since its founding in 2007, Savvy Cyber Kids has been on a mission to provide parents and educators with the tools needed to guide children through the digital world. Ben explains why introducing technology too early can be detrimental to a child's emotional preparedness and brain development, and why adult-led guidance is essential even when kids seem like "tech experts". In this conversation, we explore: The Evolution of Threats: Moving from MySpace and CRT monitors to 24/7 access via mobile devices. Early Intervention: Why the "rhyme and picture book" approach works for children as young as three to teach concepts like online aliases and stranger safety. Safe AI for Kids: Introducing a new partnership with Chaperone, a platform featuring "homework mode" and parental controls to ensure AI is a tool for learning, not a shortcut for thinking. Going Global: How the organization has expanded internationally with materials translated into Spanish, German, French, and Hebrew. About Our Guest Ben Halpert is a cybersecurity veteran with over 25 years of experience and the founder of Savvy Cyber Kids. He is dedicated to helping parents navigate the "wild" of the internet with positive, developmentally appropriate programming.   Resources Savvy Cyber Kids Website: savvycyberkids.org More RSAC 2026 Coverage: itspmagazine.com/rsac Marco's Website: Marcociappelli.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

1 - Chief Executive Officer of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, Ryan Walters joins us today. How many teachers have made the crossover to the TFA from the big left-leaning teachers unions? Why are more moderate leaning teachers bullied and tricked into joining the big unions? Why do these unions head for the most left leaning candidates? With Texas now being a school choice state, is it right for them to not share the money with Muslim schools that go against American values? Why are CRT and transgender ideology being taught in red states still? What does Ryan think of Markwayne Mullin? 115 - What if Becky Pringle had come on Dom's podcast? 120 - Your calls. 130 - What would you rather have, Chick-Fil-A or Primo's? 140 - Why are so many Liberal leaning late night shows' jokes targeting the US and allies, but not Iran?

It's a really fun NES arcade port that my brother and I would rent ALL the time as kids.You play as a dude in an inner tube, autoscrolling/floating down rivers and avoiding obstacles that want to pop your ride. You can throw cans at enemies and hazards and get you to places like the jungle, the arctic, and Mars. It's awesome.My guest this week is a living legend around RTG, my pal Chris. He was a SEGA kid, I was a Nintendo World Orderer, but we both grew up littering in strange places on virtual inner tubes.And before we go toobin', I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks if I actually do have friends? And if so, why don't I game with them?? How do I feel about the winner of our Pre-March Madness tourney??

On this week's Random Encounter, we're talking about two new games that both take place on very different islands!First, Bob is here to chat about the standalone sequel to 2023's Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse. This visual novel brilliantly mixes real-world history with folklore to create a compelling tale with a tinge of 80s nostalgia (and a CRT filter throughout)! Did Bob enjoy it as much as he enjoyed the original?Next, Ben is here to talk about a new indie 2D Zelda-like, Under the Island. This adorable game pulls a lot from A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening while doing its own thing with a modern island setting and a hockey stick as your primary weapon (this Canadian approves). Does Ben feel like it lived up to its inspirations, or does it fall a bit short?Finally, Jono beat Hollow Knight: Silksong, which we don't cover, but it is Silksong and he REALLY wanted to talk about it, so…Featuring: Jono Logan, Ben Love, and Jerry Williams; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse ReviewParanormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo ReviewUnder the Island Review

For today's podcast Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List, and we're pushing the limits of mobile connectivity as Jenny's coming to us from a North Sea ferry. We start by looking forward to the upcoming Hackaday Europe, with a new location in Lecco, Italy. We hope you can join us there! There's a bumper collection of hacks to talk about, with a novel soft pneumatic display, a CRT-based VR headset, an LCD photographic aperture, and a novel time-of-flight sensor array in the line-up.Then there are 3D printed PCBs, Scotch tape for a lens, and a project to map farts. We kid you not. Finally we wrap up with mind controlled toys, and a a treatise on requirements and specifications in an age of AI. Check out all the links over on Hackaday!

BONUS: The Future of Seeing—Why AI Vision Will Transform Medicine and Human Perception What if the next leap in AI isn't about thinking, but about seeing? In this episode, Daniel Sodickson—physicist, medical imaging pioneer, and author of "The Future of Seeing"—argues we're on the edge of a vision revolution that will change medicine, technology, and even human perception itself. From Napkin Sketch to Parallel Imaging "I was doodling literally on a napkin in a piano bar in Boston and came up with a way to get multiple lines at once. I ran to my mentor and said, 'Hey, I have this idea, never mind my paper.' And he said, 'Who are you again? Sure, why not.' And it worked."   Daniel's journey into imaging began with a happy accident. While studying why MRI couldn't capture the beating heart fast enough, he realized the fundamental bottleneck: MRI machines scan one line at a time, like old CRT screens. His insight—imaging in parallel to capture multiple lines simultaneously—revolutionized the field. This connection between natural vision (our eyes capture entire scenes at once) and artificial imaging systems set him on a 29-year journey exploring how we can see what was once invisible. Upstream AI: Changing What We Measure "Most often when we envision AI, we think of it as this downstream process. We generate our data, make our image, then let AI loose instead of our brains. To me, that's limited. Why aren't we thinking of tasks that AI can do that no human could ever do?"   Daniel introduces a crucial distinction between "downstream" and "upstream" AI. Downstream AI takes existing images and interprets them—essentially competing with human experts. Upstream AI changes the game entirely by redesigning what data we gather in the first place. If we know a machine learning system will process the output, we can build cheaper, more accessible sensors. Imagine monitoring devices built into beds or chairs that don't produce perfect images but can detect whether you've changed since your last comprehensive scan. AI fills in the gaps using learned context about how bodies and signals behave. The Power of Context and Memory "The world we see is a lie. Two eyes are not nearly enough to figure out exactly where everything is in space. What the brain is doing is using everything it's learned about the world—how light falls on surfaces, how big people are compared to objects—and filling in what's missing."   Our brains don't passively receive images; they actively construct reality using massive amounts of learned context. Daniel argues we can give imaging machines the same superpower. By training AI on temporal patterns—how healthy bodies change over time, what signals precede disease—we create systems with "memory" that can make sophisticated judgments from incomplete data. Today's signal, combined with your history and learned patterns from millions of others, becomes far more informative than any single pristine image could be. From Reactive to Proactive Health "I've started to wonder why we use these amazing MRI machines only once we already know you're sick. Why do we use them reactively rather than proactively?"   This question drove Daniel to leave academia after 29 years and join Function Health, a company focused on proactive imaging and testing to catch disease before it develops. The vision: a GPS for your health. By combining regular blood panels, MRI scans, and wearable data, AI can monitor whether you look like yourself or have changed in worrisome ways. The goal isn't replacing expert diagnosis but creating an early warning system that surfaces problems while they're still easily treatable. Seeing How We See "Sometimes when I'm walking along, everything I'm seeing just fades away. And what I see instead is how I'm seeing. I imagine light bouncing off of things and landing in my eye, this buzz of light zipping around as fast as anything in the universe can go."   After decades studying vision, Daniel experiences the world differently. He finds himself deconstructing his own perception—tracing sight lines, marveling at how we've evolved to turn chaos of sensation into spatially organized information. This meta-awareness extends to his work: every new imaging modality has driven scientific discovery, from telescopes enabling the Copernican Revolution to MRI revealing the living body. We're now at another inflection point where AI doesn't just interpret images but transforms our relationship with perception itself.   In this episode, we refer to An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Young on animal perception, and A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence by Yann LeCun on building AI more like the brain.   About Daniel Sodickson Daniel K. Sodickson is a physicist in medicine and chief medical scientist at Function Health. Previously at NYU, and a gold medalist and past president of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, he pioneers AI-driven imaging and is author of The Future of Seeing.

On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices.  Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake.  In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.

A few years back, many politicians were raising the alarm about the dangers of "CRT" in schools. Today, the new risk to public education is "DEI." What do both of these moments have in common? They have all the elements of a moral panic. So in this installment of Code Switch History Class, we're looking at the history of moral panics in the U.S., and why they so often invoke fears about race and integration.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
