Former NASA scientist and physics professor Kevin Knuthjoins Matt Beall to discuss UAPs, disclosure, and the scientific challenges of studying one of the world's most controversial mysteries.Drawing on his work with UAPx and years of research, Knuthexplores the Nimitz Tic Tac encounter, his own unexplained sightings, Bob Lazar, nuclear weapon incidents, the New Jersey drone wave, and why more universities are beginning to take UAP research seriously. He also explains howsome reported UAP performance characteristics appear to challenge our current understanding of physics and energy. As calls for government transparency continue to grow, whatevidence is still missing? What role should science play in the disclosure conversation? And could studying UAPs lead to entirely new discoveries about our universe?

Former NASA rocket scientist, entrepreneur, and citizen astronaut Aisha Bowe has built a career defined by bold decisions—and even bolder execution. She's also, as you'll hear, not opposed to naming a few favourite [fictional] aliens along the way.From discovering her passion for math in community college to working at NASA, founding two companies, raising venture capital in a system where fewer than 2% of women reach that threshold, and ultimately funding her own journey to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard, Aisha's path is anything but conventional.In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself. Aisha opens up about overcoming self-doubt, navigating environments where she wasn't expected to succeed, and why she believes imposter syndrome is often misplaced. She shares her perspective on building companies with purpose, challenging broken systems—from venture capital to education—and creating access for the next generation through her edtech platform.We also explore her journey to space—not just as a personal milestone, but as a mission to expand representation and visibility in STEM. For Aisha, space is not just about exploration; it's about who gets to be seen there, and what that unlocks for others.At the end of the episode, Selwa Rafi, founder of Canadian aerospace company KEPLR Intelligence, joins the conversation to bring a complementary perspective on leadership, entrepreneurship, and the future of the space industry.A conversation about ambition, resilience—and yes, a few unexpected favourites from beyond our planet.Today's episode is part of a mini-series highlighting the journeys of inspiring women in engineering, presented by Gestion FÉRIQUE and Services d'investissement FÉRIQUE.

A new era of space exploration has begun, after Artemis II successfully splashed down from its journey around the far side of the moon. The four astronauts returned 'happy and healthy' from their 10 day journey, careening safely down into the Pacific Ocean. Former NASA scientist Dr Morgan Cable says she was pleased to see the mission went well - even with a few bumps in the road. "Being able to understand how that can affect the crew, even on this shorter, 10-day mission, can really be helpful for understanding what it means to have a long-term human presence around the moon - or on the way to Mars."

Scientist and former NASA engineer Phil Catalano joins the program to share what his decades of research into human potential have revealed about the true nature of our reality. With five science degrees and experience working on highly classified aerospace projects, Catalano brings a rare blend of technical expertise and deep inquiry. Over time, his pursuit of answers led him far beyond conventional science—into a realization that everything is fundamentally connected. The deeper he went, the more his work pointed toward something unexpected: a convergence between advanced science and spirituality. Catalano also makes bold claims about his time working on classified NASA programs, including efforts to reverse engineer non-human technology. According to him, what we've been told about human history—and our place in the universe—is only a fraction of the real story.This is a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the boundaries between science, consciousness, and the hidden layers of our reality.See exclusives at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Over a thousand people a day die a day caused by childhood trauma says a former NASA engineer. Michael J Menard's book, 'Greater than Gravity: How Childhood Trauma is Pulling Down Humanity,' explains how the trauma impacts people on a daily basis. He joins Debbie Monterrey in conversation,
From the earliest days of rocketry, progress has always belonged to the scientist willing to think beyond the limits of their time. Long before rockets reached orbit, pioneers like Robert H. Goddard laid the mathematical and experimental foundations that proved spaceflight was even possible. And not long after, figures like Jack Parsons helped turn theory into raw, explosive reality—building the propulsion systems that would eventually carry humanity beyond Earth. Today, we stand at a similar inflection point. Chemical rockets took us to the Moon, but if humanity is going to reach the stars, we'll need ideas that once again sound impossible—until they aren't. In this episode, we're exploring one of the most fantastic frontiers in modern physics: warp drive theory. Our guest is Harold "Sonny" White, a mechanical and aerospace engineer, and applied physicist an Founder & CEO, Casimir. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Snow on the moon? Yes, though not recently... but maybe billions of years ago. Recent discoveries indicate that the early moon, orbiting just 20,000 miles above our planet at the time, may have shared a dynamic magnetic field with that of the Earth, resulting in the moon having an early atmosphere about twice as dense as the Martian atmosphere is today! This has wide implications for planetary science, but perhaps our favorite is that it may have snowed both carbon dioxide and water ice on the moon back in the day. We're also talking about the amazing launch and recovery of New Glenn, the plight of the Chinese taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station, and a recent SpaceX memo about—no surprises here—a delay to their lunar landing program for Artemis III.

Brief Summary: The program focused on a discussion with Roger Launius, a retired NASA historian, about his book covering NASA's history from its origins as NACA to the present day. The conversation explored NASA's relationship with commercial space industry, historical organizational changes, and the challenges of accessing NASA's historical records and archives. The discussion also covered various technical and political aspects of space exploration, including decision-making processes, military roles in space, and the evolution of NASA's approach to partnerships and innovation. Roger shared his thoughts on the future of space exploration, expressing uncertainty about the timeline for lunar missions and human presence on Mars. Space Show team participants included myself, John Jossy, Bill Gowan, Marshall Martin, John Hunt, Dr. Ajay Kothari, and Phil Swan.Detailed Summary: As host I welcomed Dr. Roger Launius back to the Space Show to discuss his new book, “From NACA to NASA to Now.” Launius explained that the book, published in 2025, provides a concise history of NASA from its origins as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1915 to its transformation into NASA in 1958. He highlighted the ongoing role of NASA's legacy research centers in aeronautical research today. Launius also discussed the evolution of the aerospace industry, emphasizing that the distinction between “old space” and “new space” is complex and not clearly defined. He noted that private sector activities in space have a long history, dating back to the 1950s, and that NASA's approach to commercial partnerships has evolved over time, particularly with the creation of separate entities to handle launch services in the 1990s.Bill Gowan and Roger discussed the evolution of NASA's relationship with commercial space, noting that while NASA has always relied on commercial industry for spacecraft design and construction, there has been a shift towards non-cost-plus contracts. Roger highlighted that while NASA innovations have contributed to commercial space advancements, the designs are not entirely independent of NASA's influence. They also explored the partisan nature of NASA's early years, with Roger explaining that the Apollo program faced political challenges from both the left and right, and was subject to budget cuts after its initial success.The discussion focused on the impact of the government shutdown on NASA's historical resources and archives. Roger explained that while NASA facilities are currently closed, their websites and online historical resources remain accessible, though not updated. He detailed the complex federal records system, noting that most NASA records are stored at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and other federal record centers across the country, with access often delayed by years, especially for recent or classified materials. Marshall inquired about accessing Elon Musk's communications with NASA and the President, to which Roger clarified that such recent records would not be available in the National Archives yet and suggested using interviews and publicly released documents for journalistic research on recent events.Roger explained that separating historical facts from salesmanship in space exploration is a challenging task due to the varied motivations behind statements. He emphasized the importance of understanding these motivations and balancing contradictory perspectives. David inquired about the feasibility of modernizing old Apollo lunar lander plans, to which Roger confirmed that NASA possesses extensive technical drawings and records of past hardware in federal records centers and has historically allowed access for analysis. Roger also described the difficult transition from NACA to NASA in 1958, highlighting resistance from the military, particularly over the transfer of the von Braun team and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency's resources, which was a prolonged and contentious process.Our discussion addressed historical NASA consolidations and organizational changes, with Roger explaining that efforts to close or merge NASA facilities have been ongoing since the 1960s, though political opposition from congressional delegations has typically prevented closures. The conversation also covered the history of the National Space Council, which was established in 1958 but became less active after the 1960s, particularly under Nixon, before being revived by the Trump administration. John Hunt raised questions about military roles in space, noting how the Army developed its own ballistic missile programs while the Air Force maintained separate capabilities, highlighting ongoing challenges in service roles and missions.Roger explained that Space Council issues are now handled through the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House. He discussed the difficulty in finding detailed information about NASA's decision-making process for certain projects, such as the Mars Sample Return mission. Roger mentioned that some individuals, like George Lowe and Bob Siemens, kept detailed records of meetings and decisions, which are now available at Rensselaer and MIT respectively. David asked if there would be a “post-NASA era,” to which Roger responded that there is no known impetus for such a transition. The conversation also touched on the public and intellectual resistance to using Nazi engineers, like Wernher von Braun, in the early American space program, and the debate within the federal government about this issue.Roger discussed the history of supersonic flight, clarifying that Chuck Yeager did not demand a million dollars to fly the X1 and that Slick Chalmers flew multiple supersonic flights. He also addressed a controversy about whether the F-86 pilot beat Yeager's speed record, noting that the evidence was unreliable. Roger emphasized the importance of data-driven decision-making in engineering, using examples from the Challenger disaster and flight readiness reviews. Marshall inquired about decision-making processes, and Roger highlighted the need for comprehensive data and proper training in engineering education.The group discussed historical space program decisions, focusing on the Challenger launch and the X-30 National Aerospace Plane program. Roger explained that while data existed showing risks of cold-weather launches, the decision-making process was complex and the data wasn't presented clearly, leading to the catastrophic failure. The discussion also covered the X-30 program, which was announced by Reagan in the 1980s but ended in the early 90s due to technological challenges and cost concerns, though some research continued.Roger discussed the NACA's contributions to aeronautics, highlighting its approach to research and development. He explained how the NACA hired young engineers and provided them with advanced research tools, such as the variable density wind tunnel, which led to significant advancements in airframe and wing design. Roger also mentioned the NACA's involvement in rocket research during World War II, which eventually led to the establishment of NASA and the transition of key personnel to the new space agency.Roger discussed his friendship with Dr. John Anderson and shared details about a 2009 incident involving Mike Griffin and Laurie Garver at a launch party for John Logsdon's book. He explained that Mike Griffin expressed concerns about Laurie Garver's involvement in the Constellation program, emphasizing her need to step back from technical details. Roger also highlighted Laurie Garver's significant role in transitioning NASA to the commercial crew program, advocating for private sector involvement in space exploration. The conversation touched on the challenges NASA faced in the 1990s, including the cancellation of the X-33 program and the search for alternatives to the Space Shuttle.Concluding Summary: The meeting featured an interview with Roger, a retired NASA historian, who discussed his book on the history of NASA and its predecessor organizations. Roger shared his plans for future conferences and mentioned his current residence in Auburn, Alabama. The discussion also covered the availability of Roger's book for free download from NASA. The conversation ended with thanks to the show's sponsors and participants, and a reminder about an upcoming open lines session.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

50 years ago today - in 1975 - 90% of women in Iceland took part in a nationwide protest over inequality. Instead of going to the office, doing housework or childcare, 25,000 women took to the streets, forcing factories and banks to close. It was known as the 'Women's Day Off' and fifty years on, Iceland still leads the world in gender parity, topping the Global Gender Gap Report for the 16th straight year. Anita Rani is joined by Tatjana Latinović, President of Icelandic Women's Rights Association and on the organising committee of today's strike, and Kristín Ástgeirsdottir, former Women's Alliance MP and former director of the Icelandic Centre for Gender Equality. Tiggy Walker was married to the legendary BBC broadcaster Johnnie Walker, for 23 years before his death last year. Johnnie presented his 'Sounds of the 70s' show on Radio 2 right up until two months before he died. Tiggy was his full-time carer and joins Anita to talk about the emotional toll of caring for her soulmate Johnnie after his terminal diagnosis, as described in her new book, Both Sides Now.Former NASA astronaut Anna Fisher talks about becoming the world's first ‘mom in space'. In 1978 Anna, an American emergency doctor, was accepted by NASA onto their astronaut programme, during the space agency's largest and most diverse recruitment drive. In 1984, Anna took off on the Space Shuttle Discovery, leaving behind her 14-month-old daughter. Anna joins Anita to talk about how that decision triggered intense media scrutiny and looks back on her trailblazing career, as featured in a new BBC 2 documentary, ‘Once Upon a Time in Space.'Stephanie Travers is a trailblazer with an impressive list of firsts during her career. She became the first black female trackside fluid engineer in Formula 1 after beating 7,000 other applicants. She is also the first black woman to stand on an F1 podium after being personally invited by the team to collect the Constructor's Trophy at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix. Today, she's moved into a new role as Senior Impact Manager at Mission 44, Sir Lewis Hamilton's foundation which is focused on diversity and inclusion. Stephanie joins Anita to discuss diversifying motorsports and making STEM and motorsport careers more accessible to young people from underrepresented backgrounds.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

In this episode Melanie Boylan chats with former NASA astronaut Daniel Tani and Head of Research at MTU and Head of of Blackrock Castle Observatory Niall Smith about their Space Week Tour on "Living in Space" that has already become fully booked throughout Ireland.Hear the answers from Daniel about life on the ISS, the psychology, the food and more. Niall talks about the future of space and where Ireland fits in.
Ireland's fascination with the cosmos takes centre stage from 4-10 October 2025 as Space Week Ireland returns with a new theme, "Living in Space." Coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO), the week invites students, families, community groups, artists, engineers and the wider space community to explore how life on Earth can inform life beyond it - from caves and controlled habitats to stars, galaxies, black holes and supernovas. Many events are free, with others ticketed locally. The programme blasts off with a Space Week Roadtrip, bringing astronauts and science communicators directly into communities across the country to spark imagination and curiosity. Former NASA astronaut Dan Tani will be joined on the road by Dr Niall Smith, Head of Research, MTU and Head of Blackrock Castle Observatory, for a series of public and school engagements across Cork, Kerry and Limerick from Saturday, 4 to Tuesday, 7 October. Space Week Ireland celebrations get underway on Saturday 4 October (10:00-13:00) with a family-friendly Space Week Festival at the Cork School of Music.. Audiences will hear first-hand about life in space from Dan Tani, delve into the hazards of space living with Dr Lisa McNamee, and explore the impact of high-energy particles (like the sun) on human health with Dr Josh Reynolds. Interactive displays and hands-on workshops will bring science to life for children and families. On Monday 6 October, the Road Trip visits Tralee Library, Co. Kerry for a special primary school session titled 'Living in Space, with NASA astronaut Dan Tani and astronomer Dr. Niall Smith' (10 am-1.30 pm) Join NASA Astronaut Dan Tani as he shares his experiences from living onboard the international Space Station (ISS) and Dr. Niall Smith, an astronomer and space scientist about the future prospects of living in space. That evening at 7 pm, the team arrives at the University of Limerick for a public event hosted with the UL Rocketry Society. The Limerick programme continues on Tuesday, 7 October, at Mary Immaculate College, with primary school sessions followed by a general public talk on the topic of living in space (1:10-1:55 pm). Further Space Week events - including talks, workshops and stargazing nights - will run nationwide. Highlights include an ESERO Ireland Space Careers Roadshow at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, a NASA Space Apps event in Athlone, Space Week activities at Galway Atlantaquaria, and "The Stars and the Universe Beyond" evening at Maynooth University. Explore the full programme at spaceweek.ie/events. Each event opens a doorway to larger questions: how extreme conditions shape resilience, how we might design to survive, and how Ireland's next generation can chart unlimited pathways - through the joy of space-related hobbies or through research and careers in STEM and the space industry. "Living and working in space is one of the most extraordinary experiences a human being can have," said Dan Tani, former NASA astronaut. "You see Earth from orbit and realise how fragile and beautiful it really is. Being involved with the Space Week Ireland Road Trip gives me the chance to share that perspective - not just the adventure of floating in zero gravity, but the ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience it takes to thrive in such an extreme environment. I hope it inspires students here in Ireland to see themselves as part of humanity's journey to the stars." Dr Niall Smith commented, "The challenge of living in space is moving from short-term habitability of a small number of people in space stations to longer-term colonisation of villages of people on the Moon and ultimately Mars and perhaps beyond. There are enormous challenges in meeting this vision to become a multi-planet species, but equally, there are enormous opportunities. Rarely has human living in space been more exciting." In addition to in-person events, the public can follow the Space Week Ireland Road Trip virtually via the BCO YouTube channel. V...
Send us a textEver feel one mistake away from being “found out”? You're not alone. Former NASA propulsion engineer Maureen Zappala shares how imposter syndrome secretly affects high performers and provides practical strategies to overcome self-doubt that holds us back from our full potential.Maureen shares her journey from melting equipment at NASA's jet engine test facility to becoming the first female and youngest manager of its Propulsion Systems Lab. Despite her impressive credentials, she constantly questioned her worth, even believing she was hired only because she was a woman.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Maureen's practical framework for tackling imposter syndrome. She outlines five powerful strategies that begin with recognizing the symptoms and culminate in connecting with your deeper purpose. Along the way, she dismantles common misconceptions, explaining why imposter syndrome isn't something you "solve once and for all," but rather a recurring challenge that requires ongoing awareness and vigilance.The conversation explores how imposter syndrome shows up across professions—from healthcare to leadership, creative work to entrepreneurship—revealing both personal struggles and costly organizational consequences, like a supervisor's silence leading to defective products.Whether you're a seasoned executive, an emerging leader, or simply someone striving for excellence in your field, this episode offers both comfort and actionable insights. Her message is clear: imposter syndrome isn't a one-time fix but an ongoing challenge—and one you can learn to navigate with confidence. As Maureen says, “Imposter syndrome is not the end of the road.”Guest: Maureen Zappala, keynote speaker and an incredible authorHost: Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TELEIOShttps://www.teleioscn.org/anatomy-of-leadership/conquering-imposter-syndrome-with-maureen-zappalaThe Anatomy of Leadership podcast explores the art and science of leadership through candid, insightful conversations with thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers from a variety of industries. Hosted by Chris Comeaux, each episode dives into the mindsets, habits, and strategies that empower leaders to thrive in complex, fast-changing environments. With topics ranging from organizational culture and emotional intelligence to navigating disruption and inspiring teams, the show blends real-world stories with practical takeaways. The goal is simple yet ambitious: to equip leaders at every level with the tools, perspectives, and inspiration they need to lead with vision, empathy, and impact. https://www.teleioscn.org/anatomy-of-leadership
An exclusive, sit-down conversation with Dr. Gregory Rogers — former NASA Chief of Medicine and a veteran USAF Chief Flight Surgeon. Ty Roberts gets the full account from the man who worked beside some of the most storied pilots in military and space history. Dr. Rogers recounts the moment he was shown a UFO on a CCTV monitor, the 1992 incident that later drew serious attention, and the weight of secrecy carried by those who served. He also responds to recent disclosures — including the implications of David Grush's testimony — and what military contact with unexplained technology could mean for science, policy, and public truth. Tense, candid, and unflinching, this interview cuts through jargon and secrecy to focus on what matters: real frontline experiences, the emotional toll of withholding the truth, and a clear call for meaningful disclosure. Whether you're a skeptic, researcher, or believer, this one-on-one is required listening.

My Life As A Landlord | Rentals, Real Estate Investing, Property Management, Tenants, Canada & US.
Most real estate investors are taught the same business model: buy an undervalued, distressed property, fix it up, put a tenant in it, refinance it OR sell it. But what if there was a different way? My guest today talks about when the rest of us stabilize the property with a tenant and want to sell, HE's the buyer! Former NASA consultant and hyper-analytical intellect Dr. Scott Stanfield joins me today about a different turnkey real estate model that puts the "normal" real estate investing plan on it's head.
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was a phenomenon in 2014. Set in the future, Earth has been struck by a global crop blight. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is pulled into a NASA mission to transport the human race to a new planet, via wormhole. Back on Earth, Cooper's daughter, Murph (Jessica Chastain), attempts to complete an equation that will allow this mass-transport of humanity from Earth. Many scientists praised the film, particularly for its depiction of black holes. In this episode co-hosts Regina G. Barber and Emily Kwong talk about Interstellar with Star Trek scientific advisor and astrophysicist Erin Macdonald. They walk through wormholes, black holes and all the ways space-time stretches in the film. Interested in more on the science behind science fiction?

Your Infinite Health: Anti Aging Biohacking, Regenerative Medicine and You
Mark Fox isn't your average entrepreneur. Former NASA engineer, creative inventor, hot air balloonist, and now the unconventional mind behind Resona Health, he's challenging everything we thought we knew about how healing works.In this episode, we dive deep into resonance frequency therapy — a form of non-invasive bioenergetic medicine that uses targeted pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to support cellular regeneration, nervous system balance, and the body's natural ability to heal. Whether it's anxiety, arthritis, chronic pain, PTSD, insomnia, or digestive dysfunction, Mark believes frequency is the missing link in modern medicine — and he's backing it with bold ideas, wild stories, and clinical evidence that just might make you rethink everything.We cover:The return to cellular balanceWhat exactly PEMF therapy is and how it differs from other energy modalitiesWhy resonance frequency therapy is helping people (and pets!) reduce pain, inflammation, and emotional trauma — often without pharmaceuticalsThe vagus nerve, emotional memory, and the surprising role of electromagnetic stimulation in regulating the nervous systemWhy Mark refuses to sell his healing tech on a subscription model, and why that's ruffled industry feathersThe story of how a giraffe study helped validate animal applications of frequency medicineWhat it's like to innovate in a space the FDA doesn't know how to regulateHow Resona Health's device delivers over 100 resonant frequencies tuned to support sleep, mood, detox, joint pain, immunity, and moreYou'll also hear how a personal trauma and the search for non-pharmaceutical relief led Mark down the frequency rabbit hole — and why he's now on a mission to give people the power to heal at home, affordably, and without dependency.Whether you're skeptical of alternative therapies or already experimenting with sound baths and red light panels, this conversation will leave you with a whole new appreciation for the science of energy medicine, biohacking, electromagnetic fields, and the art of self-regulation through resonance.https://resona.healthConnect:Dr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

Our chat today is with Dr. Kevin Knuth, who joins us from Albany. He is a Professor of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY). He is a former NASA research scientist designing artificial intelligence algorithms for astrophysical data analysis. His current research interests include the foundations of physics, quantum information, autonomous robotics, the search for and characterization of extrasolar planets, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Like any good scientist, Kevin is truly interested in the weird. He is inspired by space and by gravity. We learn on what is intimidating vs what is scary, what is perceived as magic, telepathy and intuition, “contriving coincidences”, the importance of the subjective experience, investigating UAPs, a story about the Matrix and a hairy raising story about a personal experience that became a catalyst for his sleeplessness and his deep curiosity about the weird.

Today we're going to listen to a conversation between our colleague Lizza Dwoskin and her friend Aisha Bowe, an aerospace engineer who was on the all-female Blue Origin flight that went to space in April. It's about navigating what happens when a dream comes true — and then sparks public outrage. Blue Origin, the space company, is owned by Jeff Bezos. He also owns The Washington Post and is the co-founder of Amazon. Some of the other crew members were celebrities, including pop star Katy Perry and broadcast journalist Gayle King.The flight became a flash point for anger from the political left directed at billionaires associated with the Trump administration.

This week in women: the UK Supreme Court declares that transwomen are not women, and women are lauded for putting on matching jumpsuits and being launched into space for a minute. In Britain, rapists can no longer pretend to be women; in the United States, we are asked to celebrate one of the oldest plays in the book—attractive woman attaches herself to wealthy man and attains power—and pretend that it represents female empowerment, while conveniently forgetting actually skilled women who have come before. Also: a hostage situation in Podcastistan: in which we explore the strange about-face of some prominent free speech warriors. Finally: the amazing institution that is Ralston College, whose themes are truth, freedom of inquiry, beauty, and fellowship.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.
