The Daily Signal - Ep. 296: A Faith-Based Alternative to Obamacare

Obamacare's heavy requirements have hit businesses hard. They've also burdened the consciences of religious Americans who cannot in good faith pay for certain drugs and products. It's no surprise, then, that since Obamacare's passage, thousands of Americans are turning to an alternative to mainstream insurance called Liberty HealthShare. We sit down with the founder and chairman of the company, Dale Bellis, to discuss his health-sharing concept that has gained such traction in recent years. We also cover these stories:* Leaked video shows Google executives grieving with employees after Trump's election victory.* U.S. officials suspect Russia in 'mystery' attacks on diplomats.* Hurricane Florence threatens the Carolinas.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

the memory palace - Episode 131 (Lost Locusts)

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.

Music

  • The music on this one comes from High Aura'd, a project from my old friend, John Kolodij. The main drone piece is All the Spirits that Dance. The beginning and end were composed specifically for this episode.

Notes

  • I read a lot of articles from a lot of sources on this one, but the linchpin here is Jeffrey Lockwood's book that, to my mind, convincingly solves the mystery of the vanishing locusts.

Undiscovered - I, Robovie

A decade ago, psychologists introduced a group of kids to Robovie, a wide-eyed robot who could talk, play, and hug like a pro. And then, the researchers did something heartbreaking to Robovie! They wanted to see just how far kids’ empathy for a robot would go. What the researchers didn’t gamble on was just how complicated their own feelings for Robovie would get.
