Podcasts about Roaches

The human body is invincible—at least from the perspective of modern medicinal innovation. Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Stiff and Fuzz, follows the astonishing evolution of body part replacement, from sculpting noses from brass to crafting body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3-D printing. While these advancements are miraculous lifesavers, it begs difficult bioethical questions: When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Roach offers an insightful discussion and potential answers to these questions with her uniquely characteristic verve and infectious wit. Join us for a fascinating conversation with Mary Roach as she investigates the moral, medical and metaphysical implications of remaking ourselves from the inside out.

Replaceable You: Skin Grafts, Bioprinting Organs, and the Science of Replacement Anatomy. Mary Roach discusses how third-degree burns destroy regenerative cells, causing severe disfigurement unless patched with allografts (temporary substitutes like cadaver or cod skin). Researchers are attempting to 3D print organs, currently in the "Wright Brothers stage," using specialized bio-ink and support gel. Xenotransplantation involves genetically editing pigs to grow human organs (chimerism) that the body would accept without rejection. 1956

Challenges in Pig Organ Xenotransplanting Trials Mary Roach Mary Roach discusses xenotransplanting, the use of nonhuman organs, such as those from a pig, to replace failing human organs. This field is very new, with fewer than 10 xenotransplants performed. While one patient survived nine months with a pig kidney, most patients in the eGenesis pig kidney trial have only survived a couple of months.

From there, they clean things up with a story of a wedding that went off without a hitch — a rare success in the unpredictable world of open bars and dance floors. Just when you think things are safe, the conversation circles back around to the unsettling rise of adult pacifiers.

Science writer Mary Roach is fascinated by the human body, especially, she says, the "gooey bits and pieces of us that are performing miracles on a daily basis. Roach has done deep dives on human cadavers, the digestive system and the science of sex. Now, in Replaceable You, she chronicles both the history of body part replacement (including prosthetic noses that date back to the 1500s), and more recent medical breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. Roach spoke with Terry Gross. This month marks Terry's 50th anniversary as host of Fresh Air. To commemorate the milestone, Sam Fragoso interviewed Terry for his podcast Talk Easy.

Joseline Hernandez, the Puerto Rican Princess herself, pulls up to Lip Service for one of her wildest interviews yet! From eating a $50,000 roach

Like any machine, bodies occasionally break down, and it's natural to go in search of a replacement part. Ancient societies featured simple prosthetics for teeth, noses, and limbs, while modern medicine pursues more advanced ways of replacing internal organs and microbiomes. But what is striking is not just the impressive ingenuity of our attempts to replicate human anatomy, but the surprising level of difficulty involved in doing it well. I talk with author Mary Roach about the many ways in which humans have chosen to replace bits of themselves, as told in her recent book Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/09/15/328-mary-roach-on-replacing-parts-of-our-bodies/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Mary Roach received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Wesleyan University.
