From 2009-2015 Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests to convince customers to buy 11 million VW cars they thought burned clean diesel. Kimberley Kinsley says “Dieselgate” was the largest ever case of corporate greenwashing. Also: Big tech companies often boast they're using technologies that can save the planet. But Jesse Goldstein argues that the allure of AI–which requires energy hungry data centers–will lead to more and more excuses for why they have to keep fossil fuels flowing. Later in the show: The can-do innovation that emerged after World War II came to define American identity. In his new book, Every American an Innovator, Matthew Wisnioski traces how that culture of innovation we once celebrated is facing a backlash. Plus: For decades, children have traveled with a wacky teacher named Miss Frizzle, who drives the Magic School Bus. Michael Meindl explains how The Magic School Bus became one of the most successful informal science education initiatives ever.

Last Saturday, teenage girls from across Ireland gathered at Portershed, a modern co-working hub in Galway's city centre, for the launch of Teen-Turn's 2025 Innovators programme, which is backed in part by BNY. The event marked the beginning of a year-long initiative designed to help participants turn promising afterschool projects into viable tech start-ups. Each year, several Teen-Turn teams develop ideas with real commercial potential - projects that could be brought to market or at least developed into minimum viable products (MVPs). The Innovators programme supports these teams through incubator and accelerator phases. By offering expert mentorship and hands-on support, with guidance from industry and academic professionals, participants are taken through the early stages of the start-up process - from concept to MVP, and, in some cases, company formation. "I'm really looking forward to this year's Incubator and the opportunity to work with such a talented and driven group of young women," said Iseult Mangan, Regional Manager for Teen-Turn. "It's a privilege to be part of a programme that helps transform those ideas into real-world solutions with impact - empowering these girls to become founders, build sustainable companies, and contribute meaningfully to society." The projects in this year's cohort are solving problems that are both personal and surprisingly universal - the kinds of ideas that don't always come from the tech industry, but should. Examples include, from Shannon, Caoimhe, Chloe and Biella are building Focus Future, a platform to help families manage the day-to-day challenges of dementia care. From Claremorris, Ema and Simona are developing Evolve Era, an AI-powered health journal that helps track, analyse and potentially flag skin conditions before they escalate. Michaela (Galway), Orlaith (Mayo), and Flourish (Limerick) are behind Own It, an app designed to help girls and young women navigate menstrual health alongside their sporting and academic lives. And Laila (Longford) and Sofiia (Wicklow) are working on Sweet Health, a diabetes and sugar intake management app. At the launch, the 2025 cohort had the chance to meet alumnae from previous years of Innovators - and get a glimpse of where their own projects might be headed next. Companies from the 2024 year group, who have graduated from the Incubator to the Accelerator phase, are now introducing to the market their tested MVPs. Donna Mae (Clare) and Dana (Mayo) created Gestura, a sign language learning and translation app. And Nora and Elizabeth, both from Galway, developed UNDump, an app encouraging the reuse and recycling of clothing and household items. From the 2023 Innovators cohort, Mary Lillibeth, Katie and Aoibheann, all from Mayo, will now embark on the final programme phase of the Teen-Turn initiative, known as Vector. Vector groups benefit from PayPal supports. Their app, HerdSync, is a farm management tool designed to digitise how Irish farms are run. What started a couple of years ago as a Technovation project after school is now being adopted by target users. At Saturday's launch, the girls had the chance to work with mentors Joe Smyth, SVP of R&D, AI, Digital and Journey Management at Genesys and Co-founder of Altocloud, and Alice Shaughnessy, Clinical R&D Engineer at Luminate Medical and Co-founder of Mirr. Both entrepreneurs shared their own journeys to startup exits and offered guidance throughout the day. Providing young founders with the opportunity to meet people who have actually built something - those who have taken an idea and turned it into a real product, a real company - is a key part of the Innovators programme. "It wasn't a huge event - just a small, focused group of teen girls and mentors in a hub - but it felt like the right space to start something meaningful," said Laila Faissal, one of this year's participants. For those girls entering into the incubator phase, in particular, the day marked their first step into the...

In this episode, John Collins provides a thought-provoking and direct follow-up to episode #94, which covered the Oregon appellate court ruling in State v. Adams. In Adams, the court rejected the science of firearm identification and reversed the conviction. John explains the recent historical forces that have made forensic science a target of criminal justice reform activists, while providing encouragement to forensic practitioners in maintaining their professionalism and credibility as expert witnesses. He also calls out what he describes as “courtroom science activists” who've made it a professional mission to eliminate credible, legitimate forensic methods from America's courtrooms. In doing so, he poses a daunting question to these activists: Should James Fulton Foster, the innocent man whose conviction was overturned thanks to a firearm identification, been put to death?

What does it take to completely reimagine your career in a new country? Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang proves that it's never too late to bloom where you're planted—even when that means leaving medicine behind to become a transformation coach. In this powerful episode, Dr. Ekaette shares her remarkable journey from practicing internal medicine in Nigeria to becoming a sought-after growth and transformation consultant in the US. Her story challenges every assumption about "safe" career paths and demonstrates how embracing your intersectional identity can become your greatest professional asset. Meet Our Guest Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang is a healthcare executive and a growth and transformation consultant supporting individuals and organizations that are looking to embrace innovative growth paths. Her expertise in self-improvement and professional development has her curating training programs that are often described as "the most life-changing training" that the participants have had. A physician by training, an entrepreneur by passion, and a teacher by calling, she is highly sought after for her transformation coaching programs. In her book "No Late Bloomers" coming out this August, she details the story of her midlife pivot when she immigrated to the US, and how she transmuted situations that could have been described as midlife crises to periods of transformation and elevation. Known for her life-changing program, the A.C.T.I.O.N Pathway, she uses the acronym ACTION to teach her clients how 6 bold moves could lead them to live up to their maximum potential. Dr. Ekaette is also the founder of RiteBridge Consultants, specializing in Clinical Documentation Integrity, Risk Adjustment Solutions, and Value-based Care strategy for healthcare organizations. The Intersections That Shaped a Leader Dr. Ekaette's identity spans multiple powerful intersections that inform her approach to transformation: Nigerian immigrant navigating cultural expectations and career rebuilding in America Career woman, mother, wife, and sister balancing multiple roles and responsibilities Accented professional overcoming communication barriers in corporate America Physician by training who refused to be confined to one specialty Entrepreneur by passion who builds and innovates wherever she goes Teacher by calling who cannot help but educate and elevate others As she puts it: "All of these things come together to make me who I am. In that intersectionality, I have to balance my time, my responsibilities, and make sure no aspect of me gets left behind." The Nigerian Medical Experience Dr. Ekaette provides rare insight into practicing medicine in Nigeria, where the doctor-to-patient ratio means physicians wear multiple hats. "As an internal medicine physician, I would be in the emergency room, I would man the emergency room, I would do minor procedures, stabilize patients, and also be the educationist," she explains. The resource constraints meant developing exceptional diagnostic skills: "We understood signs and symptoms through what we call the IPPA way—inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Half the time, we made diagnoses without the help of equipment. It really sharpened our diagnostic acumen." The Catalyst for Change Dr. Ekaette's transition from clinical practice to healthcare policy began with a professor's challenge: "One of you should go do policy, because the reason doctors are suffering is because the policy makers are not clinical people." This sparked her move into healthcare administration and eventually her immigration to the US. Upon arriving in America, instead of pursuing residency again, she discovered the CDC's Applied Public Health Informatics Fellowship during the transition to electronic health records. This became her entry point into the intersection of healthcare, technology, and policy. The A.C.T.I.O.N. Pathway: Six Steps to Transformation Dr. Ekaette's signature framework provides a roadmap for career transitions and personal growth: A - Analysis: "Analyze where you are in your career. Think of everything you've done—all your degrees, experiences, skills. Put it all down." C - Clarity: "Gain clarity about who you are, your perspective, your natural inclinations, what you love to do. This is about self-awareness." T - Transitioning: "Take training. Add technology. You must know the technological tools relevant to your field and in general." I - Integration: "Bring it all together—your personality, your career, your training—so you can give yourself a name and say 'This is who I am.'" O - Ownership: "Begin to tell your story through your resume, your pitch, your LinkedIn, your social media. Only you can tell that story." N - Niching: "Define your unique space. Ten people may have the same degrees, but we're all different. Find what makes you uniquely valuable." When asked about sharing a cultural dish with coworkers, Dr. Ekaette chose Ukang Ikong—a traditional Ibibio plantain porridge from her native Akwa Ibom State, made with half-ripe plantains and seafood proteins. "It's super unique. No other person cooks it," she says with pride about her tribe's culinary heritage.

We also touch on the impact of Metal Gear Solid, Mortal Kombat, and more. Which games do YOU think changed the game?
Are you a disruptor or do you go with the flow? Clearly, most of the world goes with the flow, the status quo. But there are those among us who see something that needs changing and we act. Thank God for the disruptors. Innovators move the world forward—governments either resist, exploit, or try to co-opt their success. Trump is the political disruptor who proved the system can be broken."Change doesn't happen by asking nicely—it happens when someone flips the table. From the steam engine to the iPhone, disruptors force the world to adapt… while governments scramble to tax it, regulate it, or claim credit for it. Today, we're taking a ride through history's biggest ‘table-flippers'—and yes, we'll talk about how Trump fits right into this legacy."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SPECIAL EPISODE: In a June 2025 decision, the Oregon Court of Appeals delivered a controversial ruling on forensic evidence admissibility in State v. Adams, a case involving a 2018 shooting in Portland. The ruling has been interpreted and reported as a categorical rejection of the method of linking spent shell casings to a particular firearm—commonly used for decades. The court argued that the State failed to establish the scientific validity of the method under Oregon's rules of evidence. In this special edition of Crime and the Courtroom, John Collins shares his thoughts on the ruling, how important it is, and what it might mean for the future of not only firearm identification, but of all of the forensic pattern identification disciplines.
