Mario Livio & Jack Szostak - The Quest for Cosmic Life
Every few months I like to run some fun ideas I see on YouTube by a couple of renowned scientists who then puzzle over me like a talking chimpanzee. This week I talk with author and astrophysicist Mario Livio and Nobel Prize-winning biologist Jack Szostak about their book Is Earth Exceptional: The Quest for Cosmic Life. We discuss the possibility of life in the universe and what that might look like. We also discuss the possibility that 3i Atlas is a nickel-plated spaceship, if intelligent life on Mars was possible, and whether we're equipped to perceive life within our limited understanding of dimensional reality—and do dolphins communicate through a shared consciousness? Spoiler alert: the answers will not surprise you.linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison

Thomas Kohnstamm - Supersonic Man
Today I sit down with author Thomas Kohnstamm to talk about his wild ride from grocery store deli worker to grad student, Lonely Planet travel writer, and now celebrated novelist. In the early 2000s, Thomas made global headlines after an Australian tabloid twisted an interview claiming that he'd written about places he'd never visited. While what he’d said about the truth of travel writing was more nuanced, it effectively ended his travel-writing career. But he turned that setback into a second act — spending the next decade reinventing himself as a fiction writer. With acclaimed novels like Lake City and his latest, Supersonic, Thomas has built a new literary identity rooted in humor, grit, and determination. It’s a fascinating conversation with an all-around great guy.linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison

Ruth Whippman - Boy Trouble
Raising a teenage boy today is not easy. Young men face intense pressure to navigate conflicting models of masculinity. They're told that a real man should strive, win and dominate but one misstep could lead to being cancelled online without recourse. For many teenager boys, isolation feels safer than engagement with the world. Today I talk with author Ruth Whippman about what it means to raise boys in these complicated times. Her book Boymom offers an exploration of this landscape from the perspective of a feminist mother of three boys. https://www.ruthwhippman.com/linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison
