    Making Gay History: A Chat with Eric Marcus

    Today we hear from Eric Marcus. Eric hosts one of my favorite podcasts of all time: Making Gay History, a podcast that has been downloaded more than 6 million times. In addition to hosting the podcast, Eric is a writer, historian, journalist and activist.  Making Gay History is a total treasure chest of archival recordings of activists, some famous, some behind-the-scenes, and all fascinating. So it's a real thrill to sit down and chat with Eric, and to share our conversation with you.  This podcast comes with a content warning. So that's exciting.

    The Passion Industry: A Chat with Jeremy Lasman

    Jeremy Lasman thinks deeply about how imagination and passion operate, and he's working on a sort of engineering manual that we can adopt. So we talked about that. Twice.  This episode combines two conversations recorded eight months apart. And you can hear an interesting evolution in thinking and approach that i think you'll enjoy. We get pretty heady here in a talk about consciousness, AI, quantum computing, SpaceX (where Jeremey worked as a teenager), engineering, happiness, freedom, parents, work, founding The Passion Company, and other stuff too. So have a listen.

    Walkin': A Chat with Mike Crowly about Life, God and Taking Care of Your Shoes…

    Mike Crowly was a veteran of the real estate industry and living the life in Irvine, California – the heart of Orange County. Then, one day, Mike sold his house, gave away everything, and started walking.  Because God told him to.  We talk about that fateful decision, the message he's sharing, and some of the things he's learned along the way.

    The Certainty of Uncertainty: A Conversation with Mert Esencan

    Mert Esencan joins us today for the third and final conversation in a quantum computing trifecta.

    Quantum Computing and Emerging Technologies: A Conversation with Daniel Goldsmith

    Daniel Goldsmith joins us today to talk about Digital Catapult and his role as Quantum Computing Technologist. What's a quantum computing technologist? Daniel tells us all about that and about his role as a quantum computing ambassador to the world on behalf of the United Kingdom.  This is the second in a series of conversations that covers quantum and emerging technologies, which I think would be rather amusing to all those science teachers who nearly prevented your intrepid host from graduating high school. One note. Listeners are promised a link to the Quantum Data Center of the future. Curious listeners, here you go: https://kets-quantum.com/2021/11/05/9m-quantum-data-centre-of-the-future-project/

    Tuning In and Turning On: A Conversation with Jesse Jarnow

    Jesse Jarnow. If you know, you know.  Jesse is the author of three books (so far). These are: Heads: A Biography of Psychadelic America, and Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock, and Wasn't That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the Soul of Ameirca. He's also the co-host of the official Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast and the host of the Frow Show on WFMU (Mondays, 9pm to midnight). This means that listeners get to hear about all of this with hero doses of chatter about Yo La Tengo, The Weavers, socialism, Phish, bootleg culture, battles for the soul of America, LSD, the Grateful Dead, and Jesse's grandmother. Plus other stuff too.
