The Ark of the Covenant is the legendary wooden chest said to hold Ten Commandments, engraved on stone tablets. For thousands of years people have searched for the Ark with little to no success. However, according to the guardians of The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, the ark itself has been hidden in Ethiopia for millennia.

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:

In this episode, the Goods Boys are joined by guest host comedian Scott Howard and the Grand Poobah of the Unpopular Opinion Podcast Network: Adam Tod Brown! For this episode, Rivers unfurls the story of the first, last, and only government-sponsored music festival: Vortex I: A Biodegradable Festival of Life. Vortex I was held for a week at a state park outside of Portland, Oregon. The ulterior motive behind the festival was to lure hippies away from the city so they would not interfere with an American Legion Convention and its guest speaker: Richard Nixon! This is one of the craziest, and most under-reported stories in American history. You've never heard a tale like this one and it's all TRUE! Follow Adam on all forms of social media @AdamTodBrown Song of the week this week is "Cocaine" by Chris Stalcup & The Grange.

THIS IS UPLIFTING, I PROMISE. And it might just make you switch careers. As a bookend to last week's Oceanology episode, Conservation Technologist Shah Selbe chats about saving the planet with some well-intentioned technology. Wind turbines, solar cars, and all the ways in which sensors, drones, recycled smartphones and real-time data reporting can help conserve species, spaces and communities that are threatened. Hear inspiring tales of travel, art, adventure and putting engineering to good use from a former rocket-science turned professional do-gooder.
Also discussed: crocodile astrology, fishing vests and hippo power displays.
