Podcasts about Invention

Idea: A game show where women in an abortion clinic waiting to get an abortion complete in a series of games, such as silly carnival-style games or American Gladiator/Wipeout-style events (because if they get smacked in the belly and lose the baby, they were going to abort it anyway). Also: they could compete for a free abortion or better painkillers or risk having to carry the baby to term if they lose; a "Real World"-style reality show with 9 pregnant women living together in a house, and questioning whether pregnancy side effects would sync up in a similar way to how women's periods supposedly sync up; questioning whether female comics would participate in this dark humor and what they might say; using pregnancy/abortions to binge on food and use the calories to grow a baby and then abort it to lose weight, or to increase breast size temporarily for an acting role Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Quand la nuit tombe en été, on peut profiter de la fraîcheur et observer le ciel. Lève la tête et ouvre grand tes oreilles ! Julien répond aux questions de sa fille Lisa et t'explique ce qu'est un satellite naturel ou fabriqué par les humains, dans un nouvel épisode du podcast “Qui a inventé ?”La Lune, un satellite naturel de la TerreLa Lune est un satellite naturel de la Terre. Elle tourne autour de notre planète depuis 4 milliards et demi d'années. Il y a très longtemps, une petite planète a percuté la Terre. Le choc, terrible, a arraché une partie de notre planète. Ces blocs de roches se sont regroupés pour former une grosse boule qui s'est mise à tourner autour de la Terre. Voilà comment est née la Lune ! Évidemment, ça a pris beaucoup beaucoup de temps !Spoutnik, le premier satellite envoyé dans l'espace par les humains1957. À cette époque, deux pays très puissants s'opposent : les États-Unis et l'Union Soviétique (aujourd'hui on dit “la Russie”). Les Américains et les Soviétiques se sont lancés à la conquête de l'espace : chacun veut être le premier à envoyer un satellite autour de la Terre.Serguei Korolev est un ingénieur génial. Il est responsable du programme spatial de l'Union Soviétique. Le 4 octobre 1957, une fusée soviétique s'élève dans le ciel, avec à son bord une sphère métallique de 58 cm de diamètre, environ deux fois plus grosse qu'un ballon de basket. Arrivé à une certaine altitude, Spoutnik se décroche et poursuit sa trajectoire autour de la Terre. Le satellite Spoutnik est resté 92 jours dans l'espace avant de retomber sur Terre. C'est un événement très important, car pour la première fois, l'humain a réussi à envoyer un objet dans l'espace. Aujourd'hui, il y a des milliers de satellites qui tournent au-dessus de nos têtes à des distances et sur des orbites différentes… Les plus bas volent à 250 km du sol, les plus hauts à plus de 40 000 km !À quoi ça sert un satellite ?Les satellites nous permettent de prendre des mesures, faire des observations scientifiques et mieux comprendre ce qui se passe sur Terre. Par exemple pour prévoir la météo. Ils sont aussi utiles pour les GPS, qui permettent de connaître notre position en temps réel. Les militaires, eux, s'en servent pour espionner ce qui se passe dans d'autres pays. Aujourd'hui on est même capable de fabriquer des satellites-télescopes qui peuvent observer la voie lactée, notre galaxie !

How did the addition of lifeboats after the Titanic shipwreck contribute to another tragedy in Chicago harbor three years later? How efficient are wild animals as investors, and how do dog breeds become national symbols? Why have scientific breakthroughs so often originated in the study of shadows? How did the file card prepare scholarship and commerce for the rise of electronic data processing, and why did the visual metaphor of the tab survive into today's graphic interfaces? Why have Amish artisans played an important role in manufacturing advanced technology? Why was United Shoe Machinery the Microsoft of the 1890s? Surprises like these, Edward Tenner believes, can help us deal with the technological issues that confront us now. Since the 1980s, Edward Tenner has contributed essays on technology, design, and culture to leading magazines, newspapers, and professional journals, and has been interviewed on subjects ranging from medical ethics to typography. Why the Hindenburg Had a Smoking Lounge: Essays in Unintended Consequences (American Philosophical Society Press, 2025)--named for one of the paradoxes that can result from the inherent contradictions between consumer safety and product marketing--brings many of Tenner's essays together into one volume for the first time, accompanied by new introductions by the author on the theme of each work. As an independent historian and public speaker, Tenner has spent his career deploying concepts from economics, engineering, psychology, science, and sociology, to explore both the negative and positive surprises of human ingenuity. Edward Tenner is an independent writer and Distinguished Scholar in the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and teaches the course Understanding Disasters at Princeton University. Caleb Zakarin is editor of the New Books Network.

What do all of these inventions have in common: The erector set, fire sprinkler, the frisbee, the hamburger, the lollipop, intravenous chemotherapy, and the stone crusher that literally paved the way for asphalt highways? They were all invented in just one city and they all have very interesting back stories about how they came to be.

Idea: A comedy contest where the contestants comedically brag about themselves instead of roasting an opponent. Also: avoiding downsides of roasts, including deeply hurting someone's feelings and having to do research about an opponent before the show; the two rules of "smug of war"; a concept of a "smug of war" where topics to brag about are provided to the contestants before the show (so the jokes are better and it doesn't feel like an improv game); why AI might be useful for writing jokes specifically for this show Jeff Teed (instagram.com/jeffteed23 instagram.com/say_what_open_mic_at_hearsay) Jack Cuncannan (instagram.com/jackc_comedy) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Matt Hoopes is back on the show! Blake and Matt catch up on all things Relient K—from packed DIY shows at Brown's Diner to opening for Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan. They dive into what it means to be a touring musician as a grown-up, the joys of building a “new boat” for the band, and why some of the most meaningful shows don't happen on giant festival stages. They also nerd out on pedal design, with Matt revealing the evolution behind 1981 Inventions' DRV and LVL circuits (spoiler: the new stuff is weird in the best way), plus boost pedal obsessions, collabs with Big Ear and EAE, and that legendary Tele Deluxe of his. If you're a fan of Relient K, boutique pedals, or Nashville pizza (yes, that too), this one's for you.

Nikola Tesla didn't just invent the light bulb and wireless electricity—he created the most terrifying weapon in human history, a device so powerful it could obliterate entire cities from hundreds of miles away. His "death ray" wasn't science fiction, it was a functioning prototype that government agents seized after his mysterious death, and the technology has been secretly developed for decades by forces that want to use it for global domination. This explosive investigation reveals how Tesla's final invention was far more advanced than anything the public was ever told, how his laboratory notes describe weapons that could manipulate weather, control human consciousness, and deliver targeted electromagnetic pulses that could kill millions instantly. We're talking about technology that makes nuclear weapons look like firecrackers, and it's been hidden in government black sites for over 80 years. Our comprehensive exposé uncovers never-before-revealed FBI documents showing how Tesla's death ray prototypes were immediately classified and moved to underground facilities, how his research into scalar energy and wireless power transmission was weaponized by intelligence agencies, and how modern "natural" disasters might actually be tests of Tesla-based weather control systems. Mystery enthusiasts and truth-seekers know that some inventions are too dangerous for public knowledge—and this episode proves Tesla's final creation is the ultimate doomsday device. From the mysterious circumstances surrounding Tesla's death to the government agents who raided his hotel room within hours of his passing, we expose how the most brilliant inventor in history was silenced because his discoveries could have given any nation the power to rule the world. The death ray wasn't just a theoretical weapon—it was a functioning device that could have ended World War II in minutes. We'll reveal how Tesla's weapons research connects to modern directed energy weapons, how his consciousness manipulation experiments laid the groundwork for modern mind control programs, and how his free energy discoveries were suppressed to maintain control over global power structures. This isn't just about one inventor—it's about understanding how revolutionary technology is systematically suppressed to protect existing power systems. From the underground bunkers where Tesla's prototypes are still being developed to the classified military programs that use his discoveries for covert operations, this episode exposes how the greatest genius in human history created technology that could either free humanity or destroy it completely. The choice of how to use Tesla's deadly intelligence may determine whether our species survives the next century. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about Tesla's classified research, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about Tesla death ray), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their technological reality checks. Some inventions are too dangerous to reveal—this episode shows you why.

Croquet may conjure images of British lawns and cucumber sandwiches. Or, if you've read Alice in Wonderland, you might recall the phrase “Off with their heads!” - with the Queen using flamingos as mallets, hedgehogs as balls, and playing cards as hoops. These aren't images typically associated with South Africans, who are more known for their sporting prowess on rugby fields, cricket pitches, and in swimming pools. And yet, one of the world's greatest croquet players, Reg Bamford from Cape Town, who first picked up a mallet at the age of four in Rondebosch, has just claimed his 13th British Golf Croquet Open Championship title - adding to a glittering list of accolades that includes multiple world championships. Although he has lived in the UK for years, Bamford continues to represent South Africa on the international stage. Most recently, he captained the national team at the World Croquet Championships in Tasmania, securing their place in the sport's top tier. Bamford, who is also the founder of immigration specialists Sable International, told Biznews in an interview that he's becoming an inventor, developing a sleek, portable swing trainer designed to help players perfect their technique. A prototype, he tells us, will be available soon.

Episode Description: When a poetic message in a bottle leads Max and Molly back to 1835, they dive into an underwater mission to help Charles Darwin collect marine life for scientific study. Outfitted with SCUBA gear, they descend 99 feet into the ocean, facing rising pressure, nitrogen limits, and even a whale song or two. Along the way, they explore the invention of the aquarium and how light and sound behave underwater. The real treasure turns out to be a mysterious fossil—possibly linked to the POGs' cryptic code. Math Concepts: Volume of a rectangular prism (Length × Width × Height), atmospheric pressure increases per 33 feet of depth, calculating percentage change (SCUBA air pressure reduction), estimating time and depth limitations based on pressure/nitrogen absorption, basic division with decimals and scientific notation (e.g., .00735), concept of buoyancy and neutral buoyancy as a balance of forces History/Geography Concepts: The Theory of Evolution & Charles Darwin's 1835 voyage aboard the HMS BeagleGalapagos, marine iguanas and biodiversity, Invention of the aquarium by Jeanne Villepreux-Power (1832) Marine biology: coral, plankton, cephalopods, SCUBA mechanics, how light and sound waves behave differently in water vs. air Color absorption in deep water and its effect on perception, Early women scientists and scientific credit, Use of SCUBA gear: tank pressure, regulators, gauges, buoyancy vests

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Massachusetts civics teacher Kelley Brown interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jack Rakove, Coe Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. Prof. Rakove explores the origins of the American Revolution and U.S. Constitution through the lives of the nation's Founding Era figures. Reflecting on young John Adams' vivid depiction of his schoolhouse in colonial Massachusetts, Rakove offers context for the political and social landscape of the 18th-century America. He discusses the central constitutional dispute between the British Parliament and the American colonies over political authority, which escalated after the Stamp Act crisis and the Boston Tea Party. Prof. Rakove traces the emergence of the Continental Congress as a revolutionary governing body and its role in declaring independence. He also shares the moral contradictions of liberty in a society dependent on slavery and explains how internal debates over slavery shaped politics within the Continental Congress. Additionally, Prof. Rakove highlights the contributions of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison in building a durable federal constitutional system and explains Madison's critical role in drafting the Bill of Rights. He closes with a reading from Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America.

David Leavitt David Leavitt, acclaimed gay novelist, essayist, biographer and short story writer, discusses his book  The Man Who Knew Too Much: Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer, recorded in the KPFA studios November 28, 2005. David Leavitt has written ten novels, including The Lost Language of Cranes, Why England Sleeps and The Page Turner, four collections of short stories, and two non-fiction works. He's also served as editor for several anthologies. His next novel, Bright Monday, will be published in 2026. His novels frequently, though not always, deal with issues in the gay community. In the interview from 2005, along with the story of Alan Turing, David Leavitt discusses his other work to that date. Alan Turing was one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians. Along with leading the team that created the enigma machine, which broke German codes, his later work on the nascent world of computers has never been fully recognized. The post PRIDE MONTH: David Leavitt: Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer appeared first on KPFA.

In episode 89 of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron McManus joins his father, Erwin Raphael McManus, to discuss the release of two powerful podcast episodes, including a now-viral clip with Tim Ross. The episode, originally recorded at the Mosaic Conference in Los Angeles, sparked massive engagement online, drawing millions of views and hundreds of thousands of interactions. Aaron reflects on the confusion surrounding its release timing, while Erwin offers a behind-the-scenes look at the discussion's origins. The episode sets the tone for a thought-provoking exploration of theology, mythology, and the radical act of questioning long-held assumptions.The viral clip, centered on the provocative question “Did Eve Sin?”, ignited waves of online dialogue. Erwin dives into the story's complexity, challenging how traditional interpretations may have oversimplified it. Aaron highlights how the clip's traction signals a cultural appetite for deeper, less dogmatic conversations around faith. They tease another clip in which they question whether humans may have once possessed capabilities like flight or aquatic life, referencing the biblical mandate to rule over land, sea, and sky. These conversations push the boundaries of conventional theological thinking, inviting listeners to engage their imaginations.Building on these themes, Erwin and Aaron speculate on the human condition before the biblical fall. Erwin suggests that stories like Aquaman or Superman might be more than fiction—they could be remnants of ancient memory. The act of Adam naming every animal becomes a focal point for exploring humanity's pre-fall brilliance and creative authority. Erwin stresses that exploring such possibilities is not heretical but deeply biblical when approached with humility and curiosity. Rather than seeking to prove mythologies, he emphasizes the need to rediscover wonder in the scriptural narrative.A core tension in the conversation is between systematic theology and biblical theology. Erwin critiques systematic theology as a structure of invented truths that can exclude or delegitimize those who don't fit its mold. In contrast, biblical theology is framed as a pursuit of discovered truth—a lived relationship with God that transcends doctrinal rigidity. They share stories of theological gatekeeping and reflect on how some religious systems elevate intellectual frameworks over genuine spiritual transformation. Erwin advocates for a theology that starts with love and leads to relationship, not just belief.The episode culminates in a passionate defense of free will as essential to love and God's character. Erwin challenges deterministic frameworks like Calvinism, arguing that a God who orchestrates everything for His own glory alone is not consistent with the radical love of Jesus. He expresses a deep trust in the truth of scripture but resists the layers of orthodoxy that have ossified around it. As Aaron reads a quote about the difference between belief and truth, Erwin affirms that Jesus is the truth he builds his life on—not a theory, but a living foundation that invites constant growth, humility, and the freedom to ask better questions.
