From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between.

“What is life?” In her Long Now Talk, astrobiologist and theoretical physicist Sara Imari Walker explores the many dimensions of that seemingly simple question. Starting from the simplest precursors, Walker assembled a grand cathedral of meaning, tracing an arc across existence that linked the fundamentals of organic chemistry, the possibility space of lego bricks, and the materialist philosophy of Madonna. As the leader of one of the largest international theory groups in the origins of life and astrobiology, Walker has worked an interdisciplinary team of researchers to devise assembly theory: a theory of life and its origins that finds that life is the only way to create complex objects, and that the existence of complex objects is fundamentally and quantifiably rare. Assembly theory’s focus on complexity and countability allows astrobiologists like Walker to grapple with the sheer vastness of combinatorial space — the set of all things that could possibly exist. https://pod.link/186908455/episode/ac33284df78590ef8712d9f26c8d8841…
Follow along as Jon and Andy do a hard-target search of James Newton Howard’s score to the 1993 man-on-the-run thriller The Fugitive. How do this film and its music match this cultural moment? What technical rule does Howard break, and why doesn’t it matter? And, wait a minute, does this plot actually make any sense? https://www.settlingthescorepodcast.com/69-the-fugitive/…
A second instalment of Ambient Country tunes, featuring Ry Cooder, Yo La Tengo, William Tyler, Jim Wallis, Hayden Pedigo and Yasmin Williams. https://hicks.design/troika/troika-56-ambient-country
Where did the Internet go wrong, and how do we fix it? To find out more, we talk to entrepreneur and activist Anil Dash about the alternate history of technology. But first, we talk about why Doctor Who is better than ever, and why we're loving the current season — but where is this venerable TV show headed next? We explore our hopes, dreams and anxieties about our favorite Time Lord. https://www.ouropinionsarecorrect.com/shownotes/2025/5/1/too-bad-about-the-internet-with-anil-dash…
EPISODE 250. JASON CONCEPCION. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. THE GREATEST LETTERS SEGMENT IN THE HISTORY OF PODCASTS. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU. https://podbay.fm/p/escape-hatch-formerly-dune-pod/e/1746364475
Developers are constantly testing how online users react to their designs. Will they stay longer on the site because of this shade of blue? Will they get depressed if we show them depressing social media posts? What happens if we intentionally mismatch people on our dating website? When it comes to shades of blue, perhaps that’s not a big deal. But when it comes to mental health and deceiving people? Now we’re in ethically choppy waters. My discussion today is with Cennydd Bowles, Managing Director of NowNext, where he helps organizations develop ethically sound products. He’s also the author of a book called “Future Ethics.” He argues that A/B testing on people is often ethically wrong and creates a culture among developers of a willingness to manipulate people. Great conversation ranging from the ethics of experimentation to marketing and even to capitalism. https://podcastaddict.com/ethical-machines/episode/196738491…
We return to speaking to Joseph Haughney about his recollections of the Arpanet and its long-term impact. We ask other founders how they feel about what the internet has become. We also speak to internet early founder Hans-Werner Braun’s daughters about how they reconcile themselves to the world their father helped create. https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-6…
It is the late 1970s and early 1980s and the Arpanet is in decline. NSFnet is on the rise in its place. Why did the Arpanet get eclipsed by other networks, and is that OK? https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-5
Louis Pouzin is a French academic who some experts say deserves more credit for his contributions to the internet. But is that true, and should any one person be give all the credit? https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-4
It’s the 1970s and both the government and academia are doing everything they can to spread the word of the Arpanet. But as the Arpanet gains popularity everywhere after its 1972 coming-out ball in Washington, D.C., through its new phone book, it also faces detractors who don’t want it to be available to all. https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-3…
Many historians say the Arpanet (and ultimately the internet) was born on October 29, 1969. But is that really when the Arpanet began, and who should be given credit for this key moment in internet history? https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-2
After World War II, the U.S. had to change the way it communicated if it was going to keep up with the Soviets in the Cold War, especially once Sputnik was launched. It was the vision of a Missouri boy called Lick that would solve those communication issues and spark the creation of the internet. https://www.inc.com/computerfreaks#episode-1…
It’s back to the Oscars stage for Jon and Andy, to talk about this year’s nominees for Best Original Score, and it’s back to some age old questions: Do we want our music made out of notes or blobs? Does reading up about these scores get in the way of our curmudgeonly opinions? And, how much music should a musical’s music music? https://www.settlingthescorepodcast.com/68-2025-oscars-special/…
To start 2025, we’ve chosen another selection from Tony MacMahon’s and Tom Davis collections, featuring among others sessions from the 1973 Fleadh Ceoil in Listowel. In 1973, Tom was in Listowel and managed to record a variety of well-known musicians, including Joe Burke (1939-2021, this time on tin whistle) playing a haunting air An Droighnean Donn. A young Paddy Glackin teamed up with brothers Paddy and Michael Gavin for two lively reels. Likewise, a young John Regan was in great form playing a couple of classic tunes on the box. We are fortunate also that Tom was on hand to record the distinctive voice of Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh (of Altan fame), only a teenager at the time. https://www.itma.ie/playlists/padraics-picks-february2025/…
