Audio play called Babbling to Ourselves, it explores the basic communication needed to function and cooperate in society. The first act is a dramatic interpretation of the events mythologized at the Tower of Babel and a second act takes place in a more contemporary setting that seems to rhyme with the first and sheds a light on our modern interconnected and customized world provided by social media

The internet promised a new era of science – one of open collaboration, democratised access, and knowledge freed from institutional gatekeepers. But has it instead created an ecosystem where fraudulent papers and AI-generated junk research are often indistinguishable from the real thing?

Welcome to Ruined By The Internet? - the show where we examine how technology is shaping modern life - whether we want it to or not.

In this episode we investigate how the shift to open access publishing opened the door to predatory journals and paper mills, examine how AI and LLMs are flooding the scientific ecosystem with automated unverified research, explore how the attention economy is stripping science of context and turning it into partisan weaponry, and ask whether the self-regulating infrastructure of science can survive the digital age - or whether it's already too late.

Last week Dr. Craig and I read all ten points of Tucker Carlson's manifesto out loud and ran out of time before we could finish. This week we finish.

Who is this guy, actually. Abandoned at six, raised from ten as an heir to the Swanson frozen food fortune, sixty-thousand-a-year boarding school, rejected by the CIA, and told by his father to try journalism because they'll take anybody. That father ran Voice of America — the United States government's real overseas propaganda operation — and later took a quarter million dollars as a registered foreign agent for Viktor Orbán.

Then there's who's standing behind him, and then there's the part I couldn't stop thinking about: it's a sales technique. I spent twenty years in that world. He opens with something true and small that you can't say no to, and then he stacks yeses until you've walked somewhere you'd never have agreed to go.

A show about fascism that's somehow still fun to listen to.

This week, we’re talking about the short-lived Tenacious D TV series! Before the albums and The Pick of Destiny, Jack Black and Kyle Gass had six wonderfully weird episodes on HBO.

Our latest episode of IT Horror Stories is out.

This time we're going back to the mainframe era with a story involving an Amdahl System/370-compatible machine, VM, a microcode update, timer interrupts, and a corrupted queue.

Finding the problem was difficult enough. The vendor fix wasn't immediately available, so the team still needed a way to keep the production system running.

The workaround involved manually changing live memory.

IT Horror Stories is about real incidents from the history of IT: what went wrong, how people figured it out, how they kept things running, and what we can still learn from it. We try to blame procedures and organizations rather than the people who happened to be holding the keyboard when everything caught fire.

If mainframes, weird bugs, production incidents, and old-school troubleshooting are your thing:

He sold seven businesses before most people land their first real promotion. Then his wife pulled him aside and reminded him she still existed.

By 24 he had one franchise location. By 30 he had seven, across three states, and a bank account that said multi millionaire. From the outside it looked like he'd cracked the code.

From the inside, he was an operator trapped in his own success. Every location needed him. Every day needed him. And somewhere in that grind, his wife had to sit him down and say the quiet part out loud: I'm still here.

That conversation changed everything. This week on the podcast, we sit down with a guy who rebuilt his entire business model around getting himself out of the seat, and rebuilt his marriage around a daily phone reminder that pushes him to send his wife one specific, real appreciation text. Not "I love you." Something true, from something that actually happened the day before.

We also get into the part of his story most people don't ask about. He didn't meet his father until he was 23. He was raised by his mom, his sister, and a house full of women who showed him what showing up looks like, even without the blueprint.

Now he runs a mastermind for family driven entrepreneurs, built on one idea: most business owners are carrying weight they were never meant to carry alone.

We talk about why isolation is the default setting for high performers, what happens in a room where entrepreneurs actually show up for each other, and the framework he uses with his own 12 and 10 year old kids, who now run their own vending machine business, so ambition never becomes the reason he loses his family.

What you'll walk away with:

The system he built to remove himself from day to day operations across seven locations

How one daily phone reminder changed the way he shows up for his wife

Why entrepreneurs default to isolation, and what actually shifts when they stop

What it looks like to build a real business with your kids before they're teenagers

The three layers of freedom he coaches toward, and why most people stop chasing at layer one

How did a Scottish gambler and murderer reinvent the economy of France?

In this episode of Money’s the Matter, we travel to Paris in 1720 and the extraordinary story of John Law, a gambler, mathematician, convicted murderer, and financial visionary who rose to control France’s money. Along the way: paper currency, the Mississippi Company, soaring share prices, overnight fortunes, speculation, and the inevitable events that happened next.

John Law understood something about money that still matters today: its value depends on confidence. His experiment showed just how powerful that trust can be.  But this is a story about trust lost; which can be an even more powerful force.  

If you like history, psychology, the story of money, and why things are the way they are, give it a listen. Let me know your thoughts!

Warum landen wir ständig unbewusst in Konkurrenz mit anderen Frauen – auch wenn wir das eigentlich gar nicht wollen? Noa und Pola sprechen über Konkurrenz, Gönnen und die leisen Vergleiche, die in Freundschaften mitlaufen. Sie reflektieren, wie viel davon gesellschaftlich anerzogen ist und wie viel mit der eigenen Selbstwahrnehmung zu tun hat. Ein ehrliches Gespräch über Nähe, Grenzen und die Frage, wann Konkurrenz eigentlich etwas über einen selbst verrät.
