Here's an idea: Around 2012, YouTube was undergoing a profound transformation from a novelty economy to a loyalty platform. This was largely driven by vlog culture, but another format was emerging: The video essay. But would Internet audiences (notorious for their ShOrT aTeNtIoN sPaNs!!!) watch longform, Socratic discussion of math, democracy, quantum mechanics, and Pokémon? Turns out: Yes. Through the power of public broadcasting, an extremely innovative YouTube show emerged called PBS Idea Channel. It was produced by a talented team of writers, researchers and producers, and its host – Mike Rugnetta – became the face of Internet curiosity during its 5 year and 400 video run. Today, you can't swing Schrödinger's dead cat without hitting a video essay with millions of views. Their popularity can be traced back to Mike and his colleagues, who in-turn credit the vloggers and comedians who inspired them in the early days of Web video. Mike joins Matt to discuss this rare time for Internet creativity, what it was like to build a large and intellectually curious community on YouTube, why he returned to his first love of audio design, how modern social media makes us so passive, and why he's thrilled that his many ongoing podcasts don't pay the bills.

Feedback and Shoutouts (2:10) Update! Thank you to everyone who reached out after the news I shared at the end of episode 178. The follow-up to that bit of personal news took an interesting turn my surgery had to be postponed because I experienced a delayed allergic reaction to the MIR contrast which I need to have done as part of the pre-op procedure. That lead to fighting off a massive full-body rash which I am almost done treating. The new date for my surgery is June 16 and I will certainly keep you posted about everything and I sincerely appreciate all the well wishes. It means a lot. Featured Content (5:36) What Is Blended Learning? Blended learning is what we need to focus on as we enter the post-pandemic lockdown world of 2020 and 2021. We need to reevaluate the human component in the learning experience. A blended learning approach ensures that students are engaged and driving their individual learning experience. This approach also helps cater to the individual needs of the learner, every student has a unique learning style and a blended approach is more likely to cater to those needs than a traditional classroom teaching experience. Why Is Blended Learning Important? Blended learning is important because it breaks down the traditional walls of teaching, ones that don’t work for all students, and now with access to present-day technologies and resources, we can tailor the learning experience for each student. Blended learning also offers flexible time frames that can be personalized to each person, offering them the ability to learn at their own pace. Benefits of Blended Learning Blended learning makes education more accessible Teachers can become more engaged with their students Blended Learning is more fun for everyone Tools for Blended Learning Learning Management System Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Edmodo, etc. Online Texts and Resources OER Commons, Project Gutenburg (60K Free EBooks), Planet EBook (free EBooks) Tools To Create & Organize Video Content YouTube, Google Drive, Flipgrid Video Content Smarter Every Day, YouTube Learning, Veritasium, AsapSCIENCE, Crash Course or Crash Course Kids, MIT Open Courseware, MIT K12 Videos, Bozeman Science, PBS Idea Channel, Numberphile, Vimeo Instructional Videos House of #EdTech VIP (28:32) Scott Nunes - Teacher, coach, #MIEExpert, #schoologyamb, Google cert. lvl 1 & 2, @wakelet amb, #cccue board, @nearpod cert., host of @tntedtech & @EducationToday8 #podcast! https://www.tntedtech.com/ https://twitter.com/mrnunesteach

We talk about fiction in moral terms all the time, from saying certain movies are inappropriate for kids, to claiming that video games aren't political. But when you think about it, how does fiction function morally if it's just made up? To answer that question, we have to ask a couple others: What is fiction? And what is moral? In this first episode in a series about the moral function of fiction: Harry Potter, evangelical Christianity, literary theory, and fake news, and other sundry characters.

In February 1943, hundreds of German women joined in a spontaneous protest in central Berlin. They were objecting to the roundup of some of the city's last Jews -- their husbands. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenstrasse protest, a remarkable example of civil disobedience. We'll also ponder whether a computer can make art and puzzle over some unusual phone calls. Intro: Between 1946 and 1953, British wordplay maven Leigh Mercer published 100 immortal palindromes in Notes & Queries. In 1933 English sculptor John Skeaping recorded his opinions of his contemporaries inside a horse of mahogany.

Berättelsen om hur en ung artist skapar ett uppseendeväckande alter ego som både hånas och hyllas. Redan från start är Lana Del Rey en omstridd figur många kritiker hävdar att hon är en fejkad produkt skapad av musikindustrin, att hennes pappa köpt hennes karriär och att hennes låttexter är alltför banala. Menar den unga kvinnan som poserar framför den amerikanska flaggan och putar med sina läppar att hon är en seriös musiker?  P3 Musikdokumentär om Lana Del Rey tecknar ett porträtt på en mytomspunnen artist som än idag är omgiven av rykten om sin bakgrund. Om en ung kvinna som skapat ett filmiskt universum som bygger på drömmen om Amerika och en nostalgi till det som en gång var. Men det är också en berättelse om en artist som går sin egen väg, oavsett om det handlar om åsikter, videos eller konstnärligt uttryck.  En dokumentär av Axel Winqvist Producent: Vendela Lundberg Exekutiv Producent: Ulla Svensson  Tekniker: Fredrik Nilsson Programmet är en produktion från Tredje Statsmakten Media  Ljudklippen i dokumentären är hämtade från Brittiska Pathetone Weekly, Popcandies TV, MTV, Index Magazine, NME, Q Magazine, MySpace, Holländska FaceCulture, Saturday Night Live producerat av NBC, PBS Idea Channel, BuckHollywood, Fox, Billboard Magazine,  Wochit Entertainment, Clevver News, TMZ, NBC, NEWS 24 och The Ryon Show.

With all the hype behind Stranger Things Season 2, Adrian and Austin discuss how narrative forms have changed with new media. We will try to decide if binge watching shows are good or bad and discuss the effect it has on how stories are told.

After a long dormant period inside the volcano, Mike Rugnetta from PBS Idea Channel returns for a reasoned discussion about the nature of games and our media. In addition to talking about his work with PBS and podcasting, we look into the obtuse nature of non-DS Zelda, the corruption that nostalgia can throw on your game replays, and the persistent ear-plugging of the angry gamer bros.[MP3 AUDIO]Mike on TwitterPBS Idea ChannelReasonably Sound PodcastTry out Loot Crate and support the show!My latest Unboxing video[LINK] Mike's tweets regarding Feminist Frequency[LINK] Equality is the worst thing that could happen[LINK] Passing off Anti-Feminist Nonsense as Critique[LINK] Jim Sterling: Social Justice Warriors and Ganondorf[LINK] League of Legends critics are trying to sell themselves, not fix the game[LINK] The Note 4 VR Rig[LINK] Explore Destiny with Google Street View[LINK] What happens if you op everyone on a serverFor a video of this episode go to: http://youtu.be/iZpRNPDbP6Q

Here's a proposition: a three-hour long Mike Rugnetta extravaganza! In the wake of his appearance on 'Crash Chords: Autographs', in CCA Ep. #43, we're pleased to re-introduce the one, the only, Mike Rugnetta for the full Crash Chords experience. Famed for hosting the PBS Idea Channel, a popular internet series that examines "the connections between pop culture, technology, and art", Mike sits in for a 30 min. follow-up interview, during which we prod into some new features on the Idea Channel, Mike's long-held interest in critical theory, the re-launch of his Reasonably Sound podcast, and fittingly, his own compositions. Finally, @ 0:29:20, we commence with the big tamale: quality time spent in a succulent critical analysis of Mike's album of choice, Without My Enemy What Would I Do by Made in Heights. With Mike fully in his element (and the rest of us seated & caffeinated), all that's missing is a dutiful audience! To join in, just chew on the album a bit, strap in, ponder, and play.

Today we do something weird, in honor of the end of the second season! Instead of coming up with a future and then finding experts to talk about it, I asked an AI to write a future for us. And the AI apparently wants us to talk about space travel, witches, and the occult.    So here’s what happened in this episode. I asked Mike Rugnetta, the creator and host of PBS Idea Channel and Reasonably Sound, to help me create a script for Flash Forward. Mike had done this for his own channel a few months ago.    Around the same time that Idea Channel video came out there was this short film that came out called Sunspring which was written by an AI named Benjamin. The guys behind Benjamin fed a neural network a huge corpus of science fiction scripts, everything from Avatar to Armageddon to Resident Evil to Spiderman. And they asked that AI to write them a script. And then they spent one day with a cast, filming the movie that Benjamin wrote for them. I totally recommend watching it.    And so I thought, what if, I fed an AI all the future scenes we’ve ever done on this show, and asked it to write one for me? And then, I have to figure out what that future is, and how we would get there. So that’s what we’re going to do on this episode. I compiled all the futures we’ve ever traveled to on this show, and sent them to Mike, and he fed them to this neural network he already had set up to make his video. And he then sent me the results. And what came out that first time was just complete nonsense. Because the system really needs more material than I had to feed it. On the show we’ve traveled to 41 futures, which in the grand scheme of things actually isn’t all that much text. So on top of all the futures we’ve done, I added two big chunks of text: the script for The War of the Worlds, and the script for the 1979 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio play.    And here’s what the AI wrote. You can see the full script (and leave your interpretation of the AI future) here.    I will confess that my first thought when I read the script was: “what the hell am I supposed to do with this?” But, I am never one to back down from a challenge, even if that challenge is self imposed, so I sent this little intro to a bunch of smart people, and asked them what future they saw here.     First we talk to Miriam Kramer, the senior space reporter at Mashable, about how easy (or hard) it would be for witches to travel to and from Mars.     Then I called up Annalee Newitz, to get her take on the witches and how the themes in this scene fit in with the broader science fiction landscape. (Fun fact, Annalee is the person who first asked me to do a podcast for Gizmodo, and thereby birthed Flash Forward! Yay Annalee!)    Then we turn our attention to the witches, and bring back Damien Williams, who you heard on our episode about conscious AI. Damien writes a lot about technology and the occult (I recommend this 2015 Theorizing the Web panel about it, featuring him and lots of other smart people) and he weighs in on the future of witches, how tech and magic aren’t all that different, and what the AI might mean by “behanding.”    And last but not least, we talk to the brains and voices behind Spirits Pod, a new podcast about mythology. Julia Schifini and Amanda McLoughlin have been best friends since childhood, and co-host a podcast all about myths and legends that I very much enjoy. And the two of them had all sorts of fun and interesting stuff to say about this witchy future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The University of Chicago recently announced that the school officially does not support "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces." The question this week is: DO TRIGGER WARNINGS AND SAFE SPACES BELONG ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES? YES, THEY CAN BE HELPFUL or NO, GROW UP? This week, the super talented Kristen Brancaccio, finalist on HBO's "Project Greenlight." I found out way too late into the episode that Kristen was Italian, so most of the stereotypes were directed towards Sean and his pending spaghetti mixer. Kristen is also one of the producers of Screen Junkies' "Gamer Fights," a video game debate show I was a guest of recently. Spoiler: I won. She also launched a new site, Surviving and Thriving in LA, an insightful compendium of information for people coming to Los Angeles. I'm also joined by the always delightful Robin Higgins. She drops some chemistry truth bombs and we discuss the history of heroin on her YouTube channel. Plus deputy moderator, Rucka Rucka Ali is back, and keeps us on track with the big debate this week about trigger warnings. Sean has my real opinion in a sealed envelope, and we had a surprisingly robust debate about the topic. Surprising to everyone but me because I predicted that it would be excellent and my prediction came true. Here's the "Trigger Warning" by Sunrise Skater Kids / Jarrod Alonge that we mentioned in this episode: https://youtu.be/rqMrZlLJXRA And here's the PBS Idea Channel discussion on trigger warnings: https://youtu.be/XvoYtUhjRWM We also discussed Rush Limbaugh's theory that the federal government is encouraging gay people to become farmers to make red states more blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBW5H8Hcik0 madcastmedia.com Sources: NPR - University of Chicago tells freshman it does not support trigger warnings - http://www.npr.org/2016/08/26/491531869/university-of-chicago-tells-freshmen-it-does-not-support-trigger-warnings Vox - I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me - http://www.vox.com/2015/6/3/8706323/college-professor-afraid MSN - Company turns kids drawings into real-life dresses - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/offbeat/this-company-turns-kids-drawings-into-real-life-dresses/ar-BBw5Q0K "Mining by Moonlight" and "Music to Delight" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
