Episode 13 – Heather Wright and Katie Sanders pt. 1

Heather Wright and Katie Sanders (@BioCuriousKatie), who are each pursuing PhDs from UC Irvine in Cancer Biology, were nice enough to drive up and bring their own beer. We sat down with some Victoria Ale from Allagash Brewing and chatted about what we know about cancer, and what we can do to better understand it. A call to RJ (@cabbagetits) kicks things off, and a song from Matthew Robins closes it out. It's another from his album 'Noah's Ark' and it's called "Are We Alone?"

The lyrics from the song are vaguely tangential to the conversation, and cancer research is particularly important to me after the passing of my friend Andy Ritchie on Thanksgiving. I hope we can find a way to beat this stupid disease.

New Music from Rob Crow

Rob Crow (@rob5d4), who you may know from Pinback, Goblin Cock, Optiganally Yours, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable, and a slew of other bands, as well as the composer of the theme song for this podcast, and the music of One-Headed Beast, has a new band called 'Rob Crow's Gloomy Place' which should resonate with Winnie the Pooh fans and particularly Eeyore. They have a new record, and they are taking it on the road. Here is an article about the new project, and there are also tour dates. Get your tickets while you can, and if they pass through your town, try to go see them. And stay tuned to the show. We'll try to get some sneak peeks of some tracks before the official release. I have seen this new endeavor perform live, and they are great.

Episode 12 – Sam Mandegaran pt. 2

sam-mandegaranSam Mandegaran, who studied at Princeton and Cal Tech, is back this week to continue our conversation about start-ups, electrical engineering, computer chips, film, and more. Sleek Zeke from El Segundo Brewing is the beer this week. It's a nice pale wheat ale. A call to Keith Blomberg, who directed One-Headed Beast, gets it started, and a song from Matthew Robins (a Snake Bit my Hand) closes it out. You can buy the album Noah's Ark here.

Episode 10 – Wes Campbell pt. 2

Harvard physicist Wes Campbell is back this week to discuss more about his research with atoms, his research project through UCLA, and many more quantum things. We sit down with some Pechish, a sour beer from Cisco Brewers, and get to the bottom of it all. A quick chat with my old pal Vern kicks it off, and music from Casual Strangers sends us out. They are based out of Austin, Texas, and the song is entitled Holocene Dream.
