Fire in the Hull!
March 14, 2016 05:00 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBFire behaves very differently in zero gravity, and NASA wants to study it. The problem? It is very, very foolish to set fire to something inside a spacecraft, and there are specific rules prohibiting flammable material even being on board.

March 02, 2016 06:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBAn 18-year old in Florida posed as a doctor for a year without, apparently, any qualifications whatsoever.

High Fructose Corn Worship
February 26, 2016 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBWriter Jeff Wilser ate nothing but processed, packaged junk food for an entire month, and still managed to lose 11 pounds.

Sleeper Agent
February 24, 2016 06:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBNew research published in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that being an early riser is in some people's DNA -- and not in others'.

English as a Sullen Language
February 22, 2016 06:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBWhile investigating non-English words associated with positive emotions and concepts, a British researcher recently discovered 216 foreign words for which there is no English translation.

Jeff and Anthony are both fascinated with language, but argue about whether this observation has any merit. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported! To k...
Southern Cuddle Circle (LIVE from PAX South 2016!)

Anthony and Jeff take this chance to rant against the alarmist nature of faux science news, and advocate for readin...

February 15, 2016 06:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBThe prairie vole, unlike 97 percent of mammals, are monogamous, forming bonds that last long after mating, and scientists have been doing experiments to try to understand if the hormone they share with humans - oxytocin - may be the reason.

This episode was recorded LIVE at PAX South 2016 in San Antionio. Thanks to everyone who ca...
Spectacular Spider-Plan
February 13, 2016 01:19 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBJumping spiders, members of the Salticidae family of arachnids, have a level of cognizance rarely seen in creatures of their diminutive size, which enables them to plan ahead and work out the most appropriate route to catch their prey.

No Croaking Zone
February 03, 2016 06:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MBIn the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen, it is forbidden to die. The reason? The Arctic region is so cold year-round, that bodies simply do not decompose.

Mantis! 3D
February 01, 2016 06:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBThe praying mantis is the only known invertebrate with 3D perception, so, of course, scientists have created tiny 3D glasses and a tiny theater to test whether the same kinds of 3D techniques used for humans will work on them, too. Did the mantises perceive 3D? Were the glasses able to work? Did they stay for a second showing of Avatar? Jeff and Anthony answer all these questions and more.

Jail Bird
January 29, 2016 06:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBOn the barren Moroccan island of Mogador, falcons seem to imprison small birds by trapping them in crevasses, presumably saving them to eat later.
