You've heard us reference the work of Jay Springett (aka @thejaymo) on nearly every pod this year — so with his new book Slop Machines of Loving Grace near completion, we invited Jay on the show to chat through some of its themes. The book takes 2008 as a breaking point, a moment where the late-20th century financial system imploded and, in its place, society was given a new operating system: one optimized for exocapitalism and shaped by “smartness,” a forceful symbiosis of finance and software. On the ep, we discuss the rise of American “code-spaces” (e.g., apps, platforms, etc) and hyper-fragmented “data subjects” taking the place of the modern “individual.” "What happens,” Lil Internet asks, “when AI agents become not just tools but inhabitants of the world of human culture?

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
She doesn't design clothes—she designs stories. 3-time Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan shares how storytelling, instinct, and courage—not fashion—have shaped a career spanning over 70 films. This episode focusing on her most recent film, The Choral. In this deeply inspiring conversation, Jenny reflects on growing up without television, building entire worlds from cardboard boxes, and how a single childhood encounter with Shakespeare set her life's direction. She traces her unconventional path from theatre and opera to film, revealing how saying yes to uncertainty—and embracing fear—became one of her greatest creative strengths. Together, Jenny and host Catherine Baumgardner explore the true role of costume design as invisible storytelling: creating characters audiences believe in without ever noticing the clothes. Jenny breaks down her process—from script analysis and historical research to building costumes in full 3D on mannequins—and explains why collaboration, humility, and learning every craft on the way up matter more than titles or awards. She opens up about working under extreme pressure on films like Mad Max: Fury Road and Cruella, why failure is essential to growth, and how leadership in creative fields is less about control and more about trust. Packed with life advice for artists, filmmakers, designers, and students, this episode is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and staying curious—no matter how far you've come. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner. Audio available wherever you get podcasts. https://voiceofcostume.com/
On Episode 214 of The AEW-some Pod, the gang—Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico—are joined by special guest Brock Lesnar Guy himself, Michael Corcoran, to go bell-to-bell on AEW Worlds End 2025, a Chicago PPV where MJF sneaks his way back to the top and Jon Moxley bleeds, limps, and chokes his way through the Continental Classic to grab the new crown. The crew breaks down Okada vs. Takeshita and why that screwdriver finish might be the dumbest way possible to end a dream-match semi, Mox vs. Kyle Fletcher nearly going off the rails with a terrifying head-drop before turning into a tournament classic, and Mox vs. Okada in a final that proves sometimes pure grit beats “greatest tournament wrestler of all time, bitch.” They also hit FTR and the Bang Bang Gang turning a Chicago Street Fight into a stiff, beautifully ugly brawl, Willow & Harley hanging onto the Women's Tag Titles against Mercedes & Athena, and Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd trying to murder each other in 13 minutes. Plus: Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter's head-drop-heavy thriller for the Women's World Title, Toni Storm's “Mixed Nuts Mayhem” chaos, MJF pinning Samoa Joe in a four-way that rewrites the main-event picture, and of course Dick of the Week, Hero of the Week, and Showdown of the Week from one of AEW's wildest PPVs of the year.

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, OPEN BORDERS, AND ELITE DETACHMENT Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. The discussion turns to domestic turmoil, using H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds as a metaphor for the modern refugee crisis and the rejection of border enforcement by Western elites. Gaius argues that the recent election results served as a mandate to halt undocumented migration, questioning the logic of those who vilify ICE while romanticizing open borders as if invaders were victims. Germanicusidentifies this opposition as stemming from the "Equites" or ruling class, who profess a "universalism" that views all people as identical labor units while hypocritically insulating themselves in gated communities. He describes this elite mindset as a "fictive reality" akin to Marie Antoinette's detachment, where actual consequences are ignored in favor of a self-destructive, anti-nationalist "religion." The speakers contrast this elite "bubble," characterized by cognitive dissonance regarding the sources of their own wealth, with the harsh reality of global migration. They conclude that the ruling class's refusal to acknowledge cultural borders threatens the nation's cohesion, comparing the situation to the Martians in Wells' novel overwhelming the established order. NUMBER 2 1906 WAR OF THE WORLDS

Latin waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks with Robert Jensen about our “dead culture” of state Fundamentalism. Jensen says that absolute beliefs that ignore life's complexities are used to support the politics of empire. He gives examples of these, including market fundamentalism (capitalism), moral fundamentalism (of spreading ‘democracy'), or technological fundamentalism – the belief that technology will solve the environmental problems it causes. Jensen claims that capitalist fundamentalism is in fact incompatible with Christianity, which. like many the other great religions, are calls to recognize the universal human family. He describes alternative types of power that can lead to a hopeful future. Support Latin Waves by becoming a member for as little as $1 per month. https://latinwavesmedia.com/wordpress/

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop talks with Umair Siddiqui about a wide range of interconnected topics spanning plasma physics, aerospace engineering, fusion research, and the philosophy of building complex systems, drawing on Umair's path from hands-on plasma experiments and nonlinear physics to founding and scaling RF plasma thrusters for small satellites at Phase Four; along the way they discuss how plasmas behave at material boundaries, why theory often breaks in real-world systems, how autonomous spacecraft propulsion actually works, what space radiation does to electronics and biology, the practical limits and promise of AI in scientific discovery, and why starting with simple, analog approaches before adding automation is critical in both research and manufacturing, grounding big ideas in concrete engineering experience. You can find Umair on Linkedin.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Opening context and plasma rockets, early interests in space, cars, airplanes 05:00 Academic path into space plasmas, mechanical engineering, and hands-on experiments 10:00 Grad school focus on plasma physics, RF helicon sources, and nonlinear theory limits 15:00 Bridging fusion research and space propulsion, Department of Energy funding context 20:00 Spin-out to Phase Four, building CubeSat RF plasma thrusters and real hardware 25:00 Autonomous propulsion systems, embedded controllers, and spacecraft fault handling 30:00 Radiation in space, single-event upsets, redundancy vs rad-hard electronics 35:00 Analog-first philosophy, mechanical thinking, and resisting premature automation 40:00 AI in science, low vs high hanging fruit, automation of experiments and insight 45:00 Manufacturing philosophy, incremental scaling, lessons from Elon Musk and production 50:00 Science vs engineering, concentration of effort, power, and progress in discoveryKey InsightsOne of the central insights of the episode is that plasma physics sits at the intersection of many domains—fusion energy, space environments, and spacecraft propulsion—and progress often comes from working directly at those boundaries. Umair Siddiqui emphasizes that studying how plasmas interact with materials and magnetic fields revealed where theory breaks down, not because the math is sloppy, but because plasmas are deeply nonlinear systems where small changes can produce outsized effects.The conversation highlights how hands-on experimentation is essential to real understanding. Building RF plasma sources, diagnostics, and thrusters forced constant confrontation with reality, showing that models are only approximations. This experimental grounding allowed insights from fusion research to transfer unexpectedly into practical aerospace applications like CubeSat propulsion, bridging fields that rarely talk to each other.A key takeaway is the difference between science and engineering as intent, not method. Science aims to understand, while engineering aims to make something work, but in practice they blur. Developing space hardware required scientific discovery along the way, demonstrating that companies can and often must do real science to achieve ambitious engineering goals.Umair articulates a strong philosophy of analog-first thinking, arguing that keeping systems simple and mechanical for as long as possible preserves clarity. Premature digitization or automation can obscure understanding, consume mental bandwidth, and even lock in errors before the system is well understood.The episode offers a grounded view of automation and AI in science, framing it in terms of low- versus high-hanging fruit. AI excels at exploring large parameter spaces and finding optima, but humans are still needed to judge physical plausibility, interpret results, and set meaningful directions.Space engineering reveals harsh realities about radiation, cosmic rays, and electronics, where a single particle can flip a bit or destroy a transistor. This drives design trade-offs between radiation-hardened components and redundant systems, reinforcing how environment fundamentally shapes engineering decisions.Finally, the discussion suggests that scientific and technological progress accelerates with concentrated focus and resources. Whether through governments, institutions, or individuals, periods of rapid advancement tend to follow moments where attention, capital, and intent are sharply aligned rather than diffusely spread.
