It's the latest episode of Our Opinions Are Correct!

Annalee and Charlie Jane both have new books coming out in August.

Find out why Annalee wanted to write a cozy tale of robots making noodles, and how they challenged robot tropes. And how writing about propaganda shaped this book.

And why I was drawn to write about a young trans witch teaching her mother magic. And why she included a book within a book from the 18th century.

It's a double book birthday! Annalee has just released Automatic Noodle, a wonderfully cozy book about robots who've survived a devastating war and now just want to run a noodle restaurant. And in 12 days, Charlie Jane is releasing Lessons in Magic and Disaster, about a trans witch who teaches her h

Plus we talk to Natasha O'Brown at Rutgers about everything we've learned lately about the Blood-Brain Barrier and how both pathogens and drugs can get past it.

Public health is a vital part of keeping all of us safe — but what does it mean, and where did the concept come from?

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.

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

Welcome to the new dystopian era.

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

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...
