Why Lithium Batteries SUCK

Can Hannah convince Michael that the lithium-ion battery is one of our most overrated inventions to ever happen? Hannah makes her case using a surprising energy source hidden in your fridge, a bell in Oxford that's been ringing since 1840, and a metal that is useful… but prone to bursting into flame from the inside out. Tracing the battery's strange history, from a twitching dead frog to the executed man who helped inspire Frankenstein. But the real point runs deeper: we don't have an energy problem, we have a storage issue, and until we crack it, the clean energy future stays just out of reach. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠ Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

This week, we revisit a favorite conversation with researcher Amy Edmondson. She explains the difference between constructive failures and those we should try to avoid. Then, John Dinsmore answers listener questions about the psychology of debt, in our latest installment of Your Questions Answered.

Mindscape Ask Me Anything, Sean Carroll | August 2026

Welcome to the August 2026 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy! Blog post with questions and full transcript: https://preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/08/03/ama-august-2026/ Support Mindscape on Patreon.

Free Will: Does It Exist?

Will you hit play on this episode?? It feels like that decision is totally within your control — but what if it’s not? What if free will is just an illusion? Lots of people are using science to say that free will is a trick of the mind, that whether or not you listen to this episode, or eat a taco, or do a silly dance right now — it’s all predestined. But do we really have science receipts for that? We find out by talking to neuroscientist Prof. John-Dylan Haynes and theoretical physicist Prof. Sean Carroll. Find our transcript here: https://tinyurl.com/ScienceVsFreeWill Check out Sean Carroll’s podcast, Mindscape, here: https://preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/ In this episode, we cover: (00:00) When you remember you have free will (02:21) What is free will?

The Shoe Thrower

When no one seems to be listening, how far do you go to be heard? In December 2008, George W. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad for a press conference. And at the very end of his remarks, a shoe came flying past his head. It was “the shoe heard around the world,” and countless jokes and memes ensued. But in the pandemonium, many missed the story of the man at the center: Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, a weary journalist trying to get the world to see the Iraq War in a different light. Even fewer people know what happened to him after. Nearly two decades later, Radiolab reporter Sarah Qari tracked Al-Zaidi down to learn the story of his life. What she found was a story about grief, anger, and the line where journalism ends and protest begins. Special thanks to Azmat Khan and Mustafa Salim.

Ep165 "What's a Doom Loop & How Do You Escape It?" with Jonathan Downar

Have you ever spent hours with a thought cycling around in your head? What happens when the brain continuously worries, craves, or replays something without finding the exit? Where does the feeling of being “done” come from? Might depression, addiction, OCD, and PTSD all share the same problem? Is mental freedom just the ability to change states? Join Eagleman with neuroscientist and psychiatrist Jonathan Downar to talk about doom loops and how we might break them.

Pulmonale Hypertonie – eine Erkrankung, zwei Disziplinen

Die pulmonale Hypertonie (PH) tritt an einer spannenden Kontaktzone zwischen Herz und Lunge auf und fordert Kardiolog:innen sowie Pneumolog:innen gleichermaßen heraus. Epidemiologische Daten zeigen dabei eine überraschende Relevanz: Rund 1 % der Gesamtbevölkerung und sogar jede/r Zehnte Über-65-Jährige ist von einem Lungenhochdruck betroffen – eine Prävalenz, die durchaus mit der von COPD oder Brustkrebs vergleichbar ist. Dennoch vergeht oftmals wertvolle Zeit bis zur Diagnose, da das Leitsymptom – die Belastungsdyspnoe – im Alltag häufig fehlgedeutet wird. In dieser Folge von KardioBeat wagt Moderator Prof. Dr. David Dunker den Blick über den kardiologischen Tellerrand und spricht mit seiner Kollegin Prof. Dr. Karen Olsson, Oberärztin der Klinik für Pneumologie und Infektiologie an der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover (MHH). Gemeinsam beleuchten sie die PH aus den fachlich unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln und diskutieren, warum eine enge interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit für die Patient:innen überlebenswichtig ist.

#487 — Is AI Already Conscious?

Sam Harris speaks with Cameron Berg about whether AI systems are or could become conscious. They discuss self-reports in LLMs, what models say when deception is switched off, the "bliss attractor" state, consciousness and sentience, the hard problem of consciousness, parallels between neural networks and biological brains, the moral risk of building minds that can suffer, possible parallels to factory farming, moral patienthood, the alignment problem, and other topics.
