Trekking into Anime Part 1

Samantha Inoue-Harte calls herself Neurospicy - but talking to her for more than a few minutes reveals that the brain works is definitely a superpower. She's a showrunner - but when that gets boring she dabbles in animating (for Disney among others), voice acting, writing, and whatever else keeps her remarkable brain from being bored. When I met her, we quickly bonded over Star Trek. In this conversation, we go through what makes Staar Trek different, and how storytelling can change the world.

Indiana's Space Economy

Dr. Barrett Caldwell has been the head of the Indiana Space Grant Consortium for 20 years, interfacing Indiana concerns with NASA programs. He leads Purdue University's GROUPER lab, and had been teaching in the aerospace program for decades. He came into this work, in part, because he grew up fascinated by space in both fact and fiction. It's always a joy to talk with Dr. Caldwell, and I hope you find it equallly enjoyable to listen to our conversation.
