Hey, everybody out there in podcast Land. It is I, your host, Ryan, and here is also Abe.

Also I.

You know, Abe, I've been wanting to tell you that a few months ago, a podcast called American

Innovations came out. And it gave me a different outlook on how science and technology we used

today came to be. You like innovations, right?

I love innovations.

Well, this podcast is hosted by popular science author Stephen Johnson, and he talks about innovations of things that you might even have thought about as being innovative, like how we figured out how to map the human genome using DNA, or why we all have computers in our homes and things like artificial intelligence.

Interesting.

I'm deathly afraid of artificial intelligence.

It might be the thing that scares me more than just about any other prospect out there.

I think I would agree with that.

I mean, just the capability of our computers nowadays is kind of scary.

Well, maybe his podcast series about artificial intelligence will actually make us

less scared of it once we've listened to it. Or,

or like your idea better. Yeah, I mean, it could, yeah, could go either way, really. Sometimes

knowledge is power and power is scary. But, you know, American innovations is not your typical

science podcast because you are not only going to hear about the science of some of the greatest innovations of the last century, but it's a very dramatized retelling of those.

You get a lot of the personal stories of the people behind those innovations and those aha moments that you and I know as scientists are where the real meat of the matter comes from when you're like,

huh, what's going on there? That's usually when the good stuff's about to happen.

Yeah, this is the big, uh, big discovery lead up.

So this is a podcast produced by the fine folks over at Wondry, and they've sent us a preview

to play for our listeners here.
