What does it mean to "politicize" science? How is this different from just acknowledging the real political issues that science touches on?

Plus Maddie Stone explains the history of Sim Earth and how this most unusual game inspired her love of geoscience.

Our latest episode!

It's the end of science as we know it in America. As the U.S. government dismantles science agencies and slashes budgets for health and environmental research, we talk about what it means to politicize science. How is that different from the time-honored tradition of analyzing the politics of scienc...

Our latest episode is about the second season of Severance -- is this show holding up? Plus we talk about a host of new TV shows about corporate dystopias.

Meanwhile, we talk to science journalist Carl Zimmer about our new age of airborne diseases.

Welcome to the new dystopian era. The series Severance, which just finished its second season, is perhaps the best-known of a fresh crop of dark, absurdist stories that tackle the horrors of high-tech oligarchy. We discuss why the imaginary future is mutating before our eyes. Then we are joined by c...

In our latest episode, we're talking about recent movies like The Substance and The Wild Robot. How are movies using weird science to talk about coercive femininity? And why are so many fictional robots cute and femme?

We're catching you up on all the movies we've been watching recently, from The Substance to The Wild Robot, and a few themes emerged. One is that there are an awful lot of feminists who are mad about being forced to be and act feminine. And the other is that cute robots might eventually destroy you....

"We live in a simulation."

It's a fun idea to contemplate — but many tech titans now believe it's likely true. Which is ludicrous.

We talked to Damien P Williams and Paris Marx to make sense of this nonsense, and why it appeals to CEOs.

It's a fun thought experiment: what if the universe is a simulation, and nothing around us is real? But lately, some of the most powerful people in tech (and politics) have been saying they believe this is true. Why would they think that? To understand, we talk to Damien P. Williams at the Universit

History is on our minds lately. In this episode, we talk to two incredible authors who recreate history in their work.

Our latest episode is about massive bewildering objects in space. Like Ringworld. Or Rama. We talk about why these gorgeous macrostructures add poetry to an otherwise prosaic story. Plus we talk to Sarah Parcak about space archeology!

From Ringworld to Rama, space is full of mysterious giant objects created by ancient civilizations. Do these gorgeous macrostructures bring poetry to the prosaic genre of space opera? Or do we love them for some other reason? Also, we talk to  archeologist Sarah Parcak about space archeology an...

Loneliness has become a huge problem — but where does it come from? In our latest episode, we discuss tropes and myths about the loneliness epidemic.

Plus we talk to Peter Pomerantsev, who studies authoritarianism and propaganda.

Are we getting toxic messages from speculative fiction about what it means to be alone? We're tackling troubling tropes and eviscerating myths about where loneliness comes from. Later in the episode, we're joined by Peter Pomerantsev, a researcher who studies authoritarianism and propaganda. He’s ...

Lately it feels like fantasy books come in two flavors: super cozy, and ultra dark. Why are we going to extremes? To find out, we talk to Nghi Vo, author of The City in Glass. Plus we talk about writing white characters without centering whiteness.

Lately, it feels as though a lot of fantasy books come in two kinds: cozy, or extremely dark. During a scary time in the world, we seek either comforting sweetness, or violent catharsis. To find out more, we talked to Nghi Vo, whose recent books include The City in Glass and The Brides of High Hill....

Our new episode is about the tenth anniversary of Over The Garden Wall, one of the most wondrous animated TV shows ever made. Why doesn't anybody make shows like this anymore?

Plus we talk to author Michele Berger about scary scientific experiments:

We're taking a cozy, autumnal trip back in time to "peak television," when animation was truly feral and we had shows like "Over the Garden Wall." We'll talk about this otherworldly tale of singing frogs, sibling rivalry, and nice witches, as well as the ways that animation has changed since the mid...
