In the process, she learns what the curse means to her.

Philosophers In Space - 0G22: Gattaca and Genetic Determinism

Our first ever patron selected episode topic, and suspiciously Thomas's favorite. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it winning the tie vote over Aaron's choice, Minority Report. Kidding! We love all our topics equally. This is a really fun one and we cover several important ethical and philosophical issues relating to genetic programming.

Also, we're happy to announce the winners of our book raffle:

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.
