Cryogenics: Futurists Hoping for Immortality

In this episode, we explore the cutting-edge field of cryogenics, which involves the freezing and preservation of living tissue at ultra-low temperatures. We begin by examining the science of cryogenics, including the technology used to freeze tissue and the challenges of preserving it over long periods of time. We also delve into the ethical considerations surrounding cryogenics and discuss the complex issues of consent, personal autonomy, and the rights of the deceased, as well as the broader implications of using cryogenics to extend human life. We even take a look at some current “patients” who have been frozen, and some celebrities who have expressed interest in the field. Throughout the episode, we explore the possibilities and limitations of this fascinating technology, and consider the impact that it may have on society as a whole. Whether you’re a curious skeptic or a believer in the potential of cryogenics, this episode is sure to leave you with a new appreciation for the science and ethics of this emerging field.

The Real Peaky Blinders: The Bloody Gangs of Birmingham

In this episode, we’ll be exploring the real-life Peaky Blinders gang. Originally a street gang in late 19th and early 20th century Birmingham, England, the Peaky Blinders have since become a pop culture phenomenon, thanks in large part to the hit television series of the same name. We’ll delve into the history of the Peaky Blinders, including their origins, their rise to power, and their eventual decline. We’ll also examine the gang’s tactics, including their signature weapon, the “peaky cap,” and how they used violence and intimidation to control the city’s streets. Throughout the episode, we’ll hear from experts on the Peaky Blinders, including historians and criminologists, who will offer their insights on the gang’s history and legacy. Join us as we uncover the true story of the Peaky Blinders, a gang that has captivated the public imagination for over a century, and explore the historical context that gave rise to their infamy.

Cryptids: Lake Monsters

For our fifth episode in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about lake monsters! A lake monster is a purported form of fresh-water or saltwater dwelling megafauna appearing in mythology, rumor, or local folklore. A well known example is the Loch Ness Monster (which we did a previous episode about in June 2021, check it out!). Lake monsters’ depictions are often similar to some sea monsters. Many lake monsters were considered to be dragon like sea serpents in the early sightings, however, most of all lake monster sightings in modern times describe the beasts to have long necks and large bodies with flippers. (Hint: Better watch where you’re swimming this summer!)

The NCAA's Use of Title IX as a Shield for Bad Business Practices

In today’s episode, we talk about how the NCAA has engaged in bad faith efforts to use Title IX to shield it from being held accountable for business practices that exploit and discriminate against college athletes. Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree in sport management, Sam worked as a sports agent, consultant, and immigration attorney so he brings a wealth of experience and insight to this topic as a lawyer and scholar.
