Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Eeks is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Dwayne Godwin and cartoonist Dr. Jorge Cham, the creative duo behind Out of Your Mind, a book that makes neuroscience both fun and digestible—perfect for Nerds and Nerd Nots alike (yes, that's my podcast tagline). They kick things off with love—what it is, why we fall for some people and not others, and whether science could create a love potion that turns romance into a biochemical hostage situation. From love, they move to hate and how some people actually get addicted to hate. They'll also discuss AI—whether it could ever develop consciousness and what that might mean for humanity—before diving into addiction and the ongoing debate over how much of it is choice versus biology. They'll talk about happiness, whether money can actually buy it, and a bizarre true medical case of a man who, after a brain surgery gone wrong, was left permanently stuck in the present moment.  Finally, they'll explore what happens when we die and whether the authors ever get existentially bummed out thinking about how fragile and robotic we really are. If you like science with a side of humor and deep, slightly absurd questions, this episode is for you. Dr. Dwayne Godwin is a neuroscientist, educator, and professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. His research focuses on abnormal brain rhythms, exploring calcium channel function, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury to develop potential treatments for neurological diseases. Beyond the lab, he is passionate about science outreach, co-creating Mind in Pictures for Scientific American Mind and contributing to blogs for the Society for Neuroscience and the Museum of the Moving Image. Dr. Jorge Cham is a Daytime Emmy-nominated, best-selling cartoonist and the creator of PHD Comics, a popular online comic strip about academia. He is the co-creator, Executive Producer, and Creative Director of Elinor Wonders Why, a top-rated PBS Kids animated series. Cham has co-authored several popular science books, including We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe and Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe, as well as the children's book Oliver's Great Big Universe. He also co-hosts and co-creates the hit podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. Originally from Panama, Cham earned his Ph.D. in robotics from Stanford University and was a researcher at Caltech.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

Is there life in the Universe? It doesn't get deeper than this, does it? And yet, why do we care about that? In the very small chance that there is other life in the Universe, we have even less chance to discover it, talk to it and meet it. So, why do we care? Well, it may surprise you but Bayesian statistics helps us think about these astronomical and — dare I say? — philosophical topics, as my guest, David Kipping, will brilliantly explain in this episode. David is an Associate Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University, where he leads the Cool Worlds Lab — I know, the name is awesome. His team's research spans exoplanet discovery and characterization, the search for life in the Universe and developing novel approaches to our exploration of the cosmos. David also teaches astrostatistics, and his contributions to Bayesian statistics span astrobiology to exoplanet detection. He also hosts the Cool Worlds YouTube channel, with over half a million subscribers, that discusses his team's work and broader topics within the field. Cool worlds, cool guest, cool episode.

Ever wonder what’s out there in the universe, but tired of being bored to death by bookworm scientists? Well today I’m speaking with Daniel Whiteson. He is a professor of physics and astronomy at The University of California, Irvine and is the co-author, along with Jorge Cham, of my favorite physics and astronomy book of all time called We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.I wanted to have Daniel on the show because in his book he blew me away by his ability to not sound like a scientist but instead speak in everyday terms while explaining complex stuff like dark matter, dark energy and other spooky things lurking out there in the cosmos.In this interview Daniel shared how much we don’t know about the universe (which is a ton), the likelihood we could find life right here in our solar system, the 3 particles that make up just about everything (including you and me), what is dark matter and dark energy and how we know it exists, he touched on quantum mechanics, and much more.LINKS:Book: We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown UniverseWebsite: http://phdcomics.com/noidea/Podcast: Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe Contact: UCI Twitter: @DanielWhiteson---I’d love to hear from you!

As a young adult, Vincent Genna suddenly found himself blessed with keen psychic and mediumship abilities—a gift that came with tremendous responsibility. Each time he works with clients, he never forgets that he holds their soul in his hands. The journey to a deeper understanding of self can be uplifting, but it can also be gut-wrenching. It requires a gifted psychic and medium guide who is not only sensitive and compassionate but also highly skilled in how the mind works and how to lead those in pain through—and out—of the darkness. For Vincent, helping his clients process and use otherworldly messages is as important as divining those messages for them. To this end, Vincent pursued and added a set of key educational credentials to his skillset as a Psychic by earning a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. Vincent is also a practiced Hospice Clinical Social Worker, an experience that allowed him the privilege of helping more than 500 patients peacefully transition through their dying process while comforting and supporting their families and friends.Vincent Genna, MSW is known as the “tell-it-like-it-is” and “truly authentic” Spiritual Teacher and Psychic Therapist. He combines his extraordinary psychic abilities, academic credentials, and genuine all-loving approach to provide healing for body, mind, and spirit. As a Psychic Therapist, Vincent uses his more than 36 years of training, research, and experience in the Metaphysical, Psychology, and Spiritual fields to dive deep into the psyche where true transformation takes place, helping clients to examine their beliefs and leave behind whatever is blocking them from the empowerment to heal their own weaknesses, imbalance, or lack.Vincent also has an amazing capacity to explain the messages he receives in a way that not only resonates with the individual but also with an entire audience.   

During the first half of the 20th century, the Peoria State Hospital was the premiere mental health facility of its day. Dr. George Zeller instituted the eight-hour workday for his staff, removed patient restraints, and made the asylum into a model for the care of the mentally ill. Today, there are only a few buildings of the hospital left. Some of them are still in use, others are inhabited only by ghosts. Our guide to these ghosts - and the history they represent - is Sylvia Shults. In Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital, she brings a passion for paranormal investigation to her adventures at this haunted hotspot. The spirits come to life once more as Shults explores their former home. Other voices help her tell the story: This is a collection of people's experiences at the Peoria State Hospital. Ghost hunting groups, sensitives, former nurses, and ordinary people share their stories with us, their voices resonating to create a panoramic view to rival the vista of the Illinois River. To visit the remaining buildings of the Peoria State Hospital today is to visit a small piece of history. A ghost story over a hundred years in the making, Fractured Spirits is narrative nonfiction at its finest.

The autobiography of Sebastien Martin rings with the intensity of a well-turned action novel and the rigid clarity of an academic study. Through the mysteries surrounding his birth to the awareness gathered along the way, his story spills from these pages with the honesty and passion of someone who has seen the tragedies of our world and communed with ancient beings, ranging from archangels to Sumerian gods. Sebastien has plowed through life, connecting the dots from his varied and exciting experiences to make him whole again. This allowed him to remember everything from his past lives to his soul origin. Traveling through the cosmos and receiving sacred information has assisted him in his goal on of how to share what he has learned. Remaining grounded, he has learned greatly from his time as the CEO of a multinational corporation as well, from and raising a family with his wife of almost twenty years. He has walked through the Quantum lines of space and time, traveling through the intricacies of the multiverse, which offers a glimpse of hope in how to change the world we live in. He can now bring a realization to the role we have to play as a species in the cosmos, instead of just trying to survive through the illusory idea of our made-up world.

A burgeoning family required more space so we bought a larger home in Cumberland, R.I. In June of 1970 she found a glorious farm, then she and my father moved mountains to buy what was known as the old Arnold Estate; It was the perfect place to raise a family, according to the owner, though he failed to disclose a crucial element of the experience he endured as an occupant. The day we moved in, he told my father: ".leave the lights on at night." A rather cryptic message. Thus began an incredible odyssey; a supernatural excursion through dimensions of time and space as the history of its characters from the ages began to reveal themselves to seven mortals who could not conceive of and never anticipated such events transpiring in our lives. For almost a decade our family lived among the dead. There we came to understand that we are not alone and there is something beyond mortal existence. I've spent my life since engaging in a variety of endeavors. In 2007 I began writing the manuscript which has now evolved into the trilogy "House of Darkness House of Light" and relocated (again) to Georgia to be with my family while embarking on such a major project involving all of them as well. It has proved to be quite an excursion in its own right, spawning some nightmares while exhuming our memories of the dead. Often painful, it has been a healing process as well, as each revisited a past impacting our present, clearly mapping the future of a family. There was no escaping unscathed, though we thought we has successfully done so at the time. This is a story whose time has come. Now is the time to tell the whole truth about what happened in a house alive with death as we lived an illuminating decade of life. It is a tale worth telling because it is true.

This program originally aired on May 9, 2017. What is time? Why does it always seem to move forward? Why is the earth made of matter and not of anti-matter? Are there really just three dimensions? Are we alone in the Universe? How big is the Universe? The short answer is, "we have no idea," and that's the point of a new book by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. During this hour of River to River , host Ben Kieffer talks with Cham and Whiteson about their new book We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe.

My life-long interest in the paranormal began in the late 70s with the original Project Blue Book series that aired on Sunday night television. In 2003, I was introduced to The Mothman Prophecies movie, and it truly changed my life. Since then, I have read nearly all of John Keels research, as well as the works of similar authors including Gray Barker, Andrew Colvin, and Brent Raynes. Since 2016, my wife Jaci and I have visited Point Pleasant regularly, and we have become friends with several area residents, including the late Carolin Harris, co-founder of the Mothman Festival. Presently, I am completing my PhD in psychology, with a focus on post-traumatic growth. Additionally, Jaci and I are also in the preliminary stages of a phenomenological study that will examine the correlations between paranormal experiences and post-traumatic growth. We reside in Northern Illinois.  

As you know, Joshua and Jason like to take a detour from whisky now and again. In previous episodes the boys interviewed Garth Ennis (writer of the cult classic comics Preacher and The Boys, now major TV shows on AMC and Amazon, respectively), Adal Rifai (comedian and Chuntttttt from Hello from the Magic Tavern), and Matthew Rhys (Emmy Award winning actor from The Americans, The Post, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood). Today's detour takes us out of this world! Well, out of the whisky-world and into the great wide world of particle physics and The Universe... The guest today is famed Particle Physicist Daniel Whiteson. Daniel, and his good friend Jorge Cham, creator of PhD Comics, co-host the podcast "Daniel and Jorge Explain The Universe". They're also the co-authors of We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe. If you'd like, you can watch Daniel's TED Talk HERE.  So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Pod-Crashing Episode 54: Unknown Universe Is the new movement becoming more vibrant? The project being podcasting. According to Edison Research’s Senior VP Tom Webster, “Podcast listeners have spent the past two months checking into episodes for 6.5 hours a week.” Wait wait hold on. Before we pull out the party bus and champagne, we need to look at the larger picture. The past two months have been February and March 2020. We were just getting into the Coronavirus experience. According to Tom, a lot of decision makers and podcast performers were expecting larger listening habits but the shutdown is proving to put performers on a different path. Compared to January 2020 there’ve been no changes. Listeners were still checking in at 6.5 hours per week. The biggest change is when listeners were getting locked into the episodes. On a normal business day it was during the commute or while at work or school. Being shut in at home totally took away that one on one alone time between the hosts and passenger. So what’s changed with podcasting? The biggest audience grabbers. Leading the pack right now are news driven podcasts crammed with endless content about the virus and how to survive in an ever changing community. According to Edison Research News features are up 25% to 39% over the past two months. Also checking in with a bigger following are podcasts that lean on religion, self-help and philosophy. Sport shows not so much. Those that are getting the hits have redesigned their layout in the way of bringing forward more stories about the athletes and less about building a better game. Even NPR has seen a 4% drop in listeners but maintain their strict policy of staying true to the format of each episode being no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. According to Ana Grundman her audience knows how much time they’ve got available and having such programming fits into stay at home cluttered day. If you’re just getting into podcasting this is something to keep close to your heart. Adopting that shorter format and staying true to who and what your listeners are doing during the shutdown is speaking their street. It’s something they can not only relate with but grow with. Knowing that there are no long drawn out commutes means listeners puts you ahead of the curve in the way of showing respect to your followers by way of recognizing the house the full of kids, the spouse is doing business in the kitchen while the others in a guest bedroom are trying to keep their head above the company expectations. On a personal experience level. I saw a slight rise in listenership in April 2020. Mainly because of the huge drop I was experiencing a month earlier. I didn’t drop podcast episodes but I reconditioned them in the way of making them more about what the globe was experiencing. Like Edison Research mentioned, shows that were religious based, self-help or philosophy were gaining in strength. The way I moved around that on the other podcasts was to make small shifts in my conversation format with artists, authors and actors. Don’t be afraid to talk about reality. I also began an entirely new series called Play It Forward which puts a ton of attention on everyone in the entertainment industry affected but not infected by the Coronavirus. Plus, on my podcast Creativity The Addiction I began to reword how I described what creativity is. It’s not just artist thing but a huge part of our business world. Nothing gets done without creativity. Being shut down with no work doesn’t mean you can’t still feed that beast. If you don’t you’re setting yourself up for a hard hit of anxiety, depression, guilt and shame. My biggest worry is Coronavirus burnout. How far do we as podcasters go before listeners start seeking a more up tempo escape? Let’s look into this. The deeper we get into this shut down while experiencing several attempts at rebuilding the business world, in the end the employee is still gonna be the one taking the financial hit. Meaning… How long can the average person hold onto their internet connection? Those endless date plans on the smart phone are awesome when you can afford to pay the bill. How hard will the impact be on podcasting if internet use takes a dump? I can hear the experts now. Not going to happen. We live by being digitally connected. If people are having a tough time paying the rent two months in a row, how much longer before they drop what they love most. That content connection? This is where NPR and iHeart Radio win big. They know they’ve got an empire of podcast followers that are amazingly faithful. Both companies also have terrestrial radio. It’s free. Will always be free. I’m not saying they’ll do it but they’ve got the stage to bring those podcasts forward to that hardcore fan base. So what’s the moral of the story? Embrace for the change. Listening habits are on the move. Stay closely tuned to how your listeners are living life without having to jump the shark, or drop the podcast. Being aware is your biggest tool. Maybe it’s time we learn from the people of fame and begin a new process of doing live shows on Instagram and Facebook. The goal should always be to re-engage.

The deeper we get into this shut down while experiencing several attempts at rebuilding the business world, in the end the employee is still gonna be the one taking the financial hit. Meaning… How long can the average person hold onto their internet connection? Those endless date plans on the smart phone are awesome when you can afford to pay the bill. How hard will the impact be on podcasting if internet use takes a dump? I can hear the experts now. Not going to happen. We live by being digitally connected. If people are having a tough time paying the rent two months in a row, how much longer before they drop what they love most. That content connection? This is where NPR and iHeart Radio win big. They know they’ve got an empire of podcast followers that are amazingly faithful. Both companies also have terrestrial radio. It’s free. Will always be free. I’m not saying they’ll do it but they’ve got the stage to bring those podcasts forward to that hardcore fan base. So what’s the moral of the story? Embrace for the change. Listening habits are on the move. Stay closely tuned to how your listeners are living life without having to jump the shark, or drop the podcast. Being aware is your biggest tool. Maybe it’s time we learn from the people of fame and begin a new process of doing live shows on Instagram and Facebook. The goal should always be to re-engage.

Dr. Daniel Whiteson is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine. He is also co-author of the book We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe. As a particle physicist, Daniel is working to discover how the universe began and what things are made of at their most fundamental levels. When not in the lab, Daniel engages in experimental baking to create a wide variety of desserts. He’s currently perfecting his recipe for chocolate babka, a type of sweet bread. Regardless of how his kitchen experiments turn out, it’s fun to share them with his wife and two kids. Daniel received his B.S. in Physics and Computer Science from Rice University, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and he went on to earn his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley. He conducted postdoctoral research afterwards at the University of Pennsylvania before joining the faculty at UC, Irvine. Daniel has received various awards and honors in his career, including an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship, an Outstanding Junior Investigator award from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research from UC, Irvine, and a Webby Award in Experimental and Innovation sites for developing a smartphone app called Cosmic Rays Found in Smartphones which uses a cell phone’s camera to detect ultra high-energy cosmic rays. Daniel has also been named a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Daniel joined us for an interview to talk more about his life and science.

  Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson have co-authored We Have No Idea: A Guide to The Unknown Universe. Jorge Cham is the creator of PHD Comics and Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at the University of California Irvine. In this book they explain everything we DON'T know about the Universe, from Cosmic Rays and Dark Matter to time travel and the Big Bang. Filled with their popular infographics, cartoons, and clear and entertaining explanations, this book is perfect for anyone who's curious about science and all the big questions we still haven't answered.  Plus, a new segment, Progressive Short, a five minute news report on issues that matter. This week, Les Jamieson talks with John Shuck about Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that is set to expire on Dec. 31st, 2017. This is the language which allows for warrantless spying on all Americans by the NSA. According to Mr. Jamieson, there is legislation before congress to extend Section 702 and make warrantless spying legal and permanent. More information about the call to action to end this extention is found at his website, HR14.org.  Les Jamieson 3:41 - 9:37 Cham and Whiteson 9:37-53:00   

PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up on We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe, an entertaining and lucid explanation of particle physics—what little we know of it. Exploring the biggest unknowns in the universe, they ponder why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). They also work to demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With humor and relatability, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that’s still ours to explore. Watch a video.
