Humanoid Robots & Drones: How...

Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

“Humanoid Robots & Drones: How the Age of Smart Machines Will Revolutionize Our World” is a 24‑lecture audio expedition for anyone who likes their wonder with measurements. We chase robots, humanoids, and drones through restaurants, farms, warehouses, hospitals, disaster scenes, stadiums, and city skies—treating each as a solvable puzzle. How does a drone hold position in wind? Why does a humanoid’s shape matter for doors and stairs? When does a non‑humanoid robot beat a humanoid? More often than you’d guess.

You’ll learn the working grammar of the field: motors, cameras, lidar, batteries, and the ugly truth about friction, glare, and radio noise. You’ll see how a drone’s navigation, thermal views, and geofences turn into defect lists, not pretty video; how warehouse robots schedule intersections; why “stop distance” and “payload versus endurance” make or break a plan; and how soft‑skinned humanoids handle the “last ten centimeters” that buildings were designed for human hands. We translate regulation and risk into simple playbooks you can actually use—what the rules permit, what insurers demand, and what keeps neighbors calm.

Expect case studies with receipts: drone light shows that replace fireworks with quiet pixels; roof and bridge inspections before breakfast; farm rigs that spray where plants actually are; hospital runners and delivery bots that save steps and shoulders; telepresence poles and companion robots that help real people on real Tuesdays. The tone is sharp, funny, and unromantic: we puncture hype, celebrate craft, and name failure modes out loud.

By the end, you’ll be able to read a spec sheet like a mechanic, design a credible first deployment, and argue—politely but mercilessly—about the next 10, 25, and 50 years. If you want an operator’s guide to the robots, humanoids, and drones that already work (and the ones that almost do), buckle in. The robots are clocked in, the drones are charged, and class is wheels‑up.

Endangered Eating - America's...

Sarah Lohman

Apples, a common New England crop, have been called the United States' most endangered food. The iconic Texas Longhorn cattle is categorized at critical risk for extinction. Unique date palms, found nowhere else on the planet, grow in California’s Coachella Valley, but the family farms that caretake them are shutting down. Apples, cattle, dates?these are foods that carry significant cultural weight. But they’re disappearing. In Endangered Eating, culinary historian Sarah Lohman draws inspiration from the Ark of Taste, a list compiled by Slow Food International that catalogues important regional foods. She travels the country learning about the distinct ingredients at risk of being lost: in Hawaii, she learns the stories behind heirloom sugarcane; in the Navajo Nation, she assists in the traditional butchering of a Navajo Churro ram; in the Upper Midwest, she harvests wild rice; in the Pacific Northwest, she spends a day reefnet fishing; on the Gulf Coast, she devours gumbo made with filé powder; in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, she tastes America’s oldest peanut. She learns from those who love these rare ingredients: shepherds, fishers, farmers, scientists, historians, and activists. And she tries her hand at raising these crops and preparing these dishes. Animated by stories yet grounded in research, Endangered Eating gives listeners the tools to support community organizations and producers that work to preserve local culinary traditions and rare, cherished foods.

Allow Me to Interrupt - A...

PhD Gilly Kahn

For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.
