  • Where Have You Been All My Life?!?

    This is just my kind of podcast. Intelligent but not presumptuous, funny but not silly, well-researched and thorough but not rambling. I am totally fascinated by the psychology of conspiracy theories, but a total non-believer. It’s hard to find content on this topic without falling into crazy rabbit holes. I love it! Keep up the good work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's in a Name? The Shakespeare Authorship Debate
Q: Did Shakespeare write Shakespeare?
Scott Jackson believes that Shakespeare wrote his works, backed by his extensive research, although he acknowledges there is reasonable doubt about Shakespeare's life.
Us vs. Them: Antisemitism Goes to School
Q: Why do you think the protests are so focused on Israel and Hamas specifically, and not addressing other global issues?
Shea argues that the protests are driven by deeper issues, where students focus on a tangible topic amid their frustrations on various societal problems, revealing long-held biases.
Power Is Power: The Vulnerable Electrical Grid
Q: Have you thought of different ways that we can sort of bolster and shore up the power grid infrastructure?
Absolutely. They got to throw a lot of money at it. That's really what it comes down to, is trying to tighten up communication through the internet and improving security.
Power Is Power: The Vulnerable Electrical Grid
Q: What made you think this is a really uncomfortable situation? This is some place I want my head to be for a while.
I was very concerned about these sorts of things back in, I don't know, it was about 2010, 2012, when I first started writing it. And it just seemed that the grid was on the news a lot.
