Noraly Schoenmaker was a thirtysomething geologist living in the Netherlands when she learned that her live-in partner had been having a long-term affair. In desperate need of a new beginning, she decided to quit her job and jet off to India. But her plans were dashed when she fell quickly and helplessly in love: with a motorcycle. Behind the handlebars, she felt alive and free—nimble enough to trace the narrowest paths, powerful enough to travel the longest of roads.

In last week’s episode, we traced the history of fluoridation (and the anti-fluoridation movement) to its roots in the early 20th century, but we left you wondering whether there’s anything to back up the health claims that anti-fluoridationists make. Today, we get deep into the weeds of the fluoride literature, explaining how this mineral works, the difference between topical and systemic fluoride, and whether fluoridation has been linked to any health issues. The details matter, and don’t you worry - we’ve got plenty of nitty gritty for you to feast on. Support this podcast by ...

Three women vanished without a trace from a quiet suburban home in the early hours of a summer morning in 1992.

Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery. At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?

This episode of The B-Word is all about the c-word... Context. We all like to think that humans are predictable and consistent, but when you look closer, we're often anything but. What can men's underwear teach us about problem solving? What do dating apps tell us about the importance of context? And how does time influence human behaviour? James is joined by Prakash Sharma to learn how context is the key to predicting and influencing human behaviour.

Is the world around us real—or is it a construct, a mirage generated by a powerful and incomprehensibly advanced intelligence? This question, once confined to the pages of science fiction novels and speculative late-night discussions, has in recent years migrated into the heart of contemporary philosophical and scientific inquiry. The idea that our universe might be an elaborate simulation, running on an immense computational substrate, is no longer dismissed as a fringe hypothesis. Instead, it is now taken seriously by physicists, cosmologists, computer scientists, and philosophers alike.

Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet." Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, ...

Did a private aerospace giant assassinate antigravity researcher Amy Eskridge to steal her world-changing UAP secrets? This isn't just an Avonetics rumor; it's a bombshell allegation submitted to the Congressional record, suggesting a shadow war over technology that could rewrite physics itself. The theory is chilling: Eskridge was on the verge of a breakthrough with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and advanced propulsion, and powerful entities silenced her to keep humanity chained to old tech for their own financial gain. But a darker, more personal story lurks in the shadows. Skeptics point...

The skies over Sacramento erupted in chaos on June 14, 2025. A user on the popular Avonetics platform shared a video that would divide the internet: a bizarre, shape-shifting object performing impossible aerial maneuvers. They called it an "EBANI UFO," insisting its erratic, intelligent movement was proof of otherworldly technology. The footage went viral, and the battle lines were drawn. The Avonetics community exploded. Thousands debated what they were seeing. Was this the irrefutable evidence UFO enthusiasts have been waiting for? Or was it, as skeptics viciously argued, just a plastic bag?...

Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged.

Passengers get bumped from flights. Phone menus disconnect. Automated financial trades produce market collapse. Of all the challenges in modern life, some of the most vexing come from our relationships with automation: a large system does us wrong, and there’s nothing we can do about it. The problem, economist Dan Davies shows, is accountability sinks: systems in which decisions are delegated to a complex rule book or set of standard procedures, making it impossible to identify the source of mistakes when they happen.

Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees.
