We'll be back in July; check out our other podcasts Death & Friends, The Poor Proles Almanac, and the Gastropocene in the meantime!

We've all snuck a look at porn as a young adult, and no one's browser is innocent; porn is as human as breathing and drinking water. It's existed in a number of forms and across time. Today, however, porn exists in increasing access and with new professionalism. We're joined by Vibe Ryder to discuss sex work, the future of sex work in porn, and the new challenges porn in the digital streaming era faces, even with the growth of platforms such as Onlyfans. Check out Vibe's work on Instagram:...

In this episode we're joined by Peter Michael Bauer of Rewild Portland to discuss the  authority of academia and the development of narratives. Many recognize the shortfalls and the politics academia injects into how research is done and how outcomes are presented, but how bad is it, really? How can we present an alternative to this model, and is there any validity in the authoirty that comes with the academic authority assigned through degree-granting institutions?

The strained relationship that humans have cultivated with death over the previous 2 centuries became painfully evident as Covid took hold these past few years. As folks were unable to sit beside their loved ones as they died, death anxiety continued to accelerate and an entire generation has begun to reassess its relationship with death. Coming to terms with death as it is, not as what we want it to be, is a complex personal relationship that demands vulnerability and honesty. In this...

The role of corn in our diet cannot be overstated, whether it's through animal feed for meat production, ethanol to transport our food, high fructose corn syrup, corn flour, or any of the other ways it has been introduced. Corn is a staple for good reason; it stores well, grows incredibly efficiently, and we've gotten really, really good at growing it. Despite this, there's an underbelly to this industry that often gets overlooked in the conversation about what the future of our food looks...

In this episode, the Tomorrow, Today team sits down with Dr. Chris Fuchs, founder of QBism, to discuss the intersections of philosophy and science. What are the limits of our ability to understand physics, and is objectivity even real? If it's not real, what are the implications and how does it impact our interactions with the world around us? To read more work from Dr. Chris Fuchs and other physicists, visit: https://arxiv.org/ To support this project and to get early access to each...

In this episode, the team at Tomorrow, Today is joined by Marisa Renee Lee, author of "Grief is Love", to discuss the impacts of Covid-19 & death under quarantine will have on the future of how we relate with the process of death.

It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment...

In this episode, we discuss the concept of community-- what is community, how do we define it, how do online communities fit into this space, and what does the future hold for the idea of community? The question of community also offers some interesting insights into the idea of citizen science and decentralized sources of knowledge, such as wikipedia. What are the larger implications of this model for content sourcing, and how does it compare to individual specialists? Dr. Amy S. Bruckman...

We chat with infectious disease specialist Dr. Ayesha Khan about superbugs, drug resistance, climate change, and how all of these things are exacerbated by one common denominator-- our economic model of growth. How does climate change reinforce the speed at which drug resistance is spreading, and what solutions are out there around solving the riddle of protecting people from these dangerous bacteria and fungi? Tune in to find out. To hear more from Dr. Khan, take a listen to her podcast...

Moors is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Faculty Affiliate in Engineering at Chapman University. She serves...

In this episode, we discuss the concept of death and how it is understood differently across the animal kingdom. If we turn towards the natural world, we can see that the minimal cognitive requirements for a Concept of Death are in fact met by many nonhuman species and there are multiple learning pathways and opportunities for animals in the wild to develop a Concept of Death. We explore this further and what this means for the way we live today and moving into the future. Check out Dr....
