Wow, what a fun show this week! Besides some great stories, we have many amazing guests, including one of our favorite visiting co-hosts, Gabriel Cianfrani, visiting and escaping from the current freeze on the East Coast.

After the news, we speak with  Alan Schaefer, CEO/Founder of Banding People Together, who teaches groups and companies ways of improving collaboration from his experiences in leading a musical band. 

And in the second hour we have Mary Flodin, author of a new CliFi eco-thriller that takes place in our area, “Fruit of the Devil.” In case you are wondering, the fruit in question are strawberries, and as you listen to Mary, you’ll soon know why..

We also have a moment with Cosmic Joe, who shares with us info on the cosmic alignments currently happening in the sky (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn).  

And there is our catnip research report with Gabriel, who is a cat whisperer.  Do cats really get high from catnip? We explore the evidence, as we do with some new research suggesting that the act of thinking can burn a lot of calories! Enjoy..

A series of reports have come in on the nature of the very boundaries of our solar system; we give you an update. We think you’ll also appreciate hearing about the tranformative technology conference coming up next week in Palo Alto, all about tech and people that plans to permanently move a billion people into a state of wellbeing and flourishing by 2030. We talk to the co-founder of the event, Dr. Jeffery Martin to find out how.

Also this week is a follow-up report from our firetracker, Frank Schwartz, on new wildfires, and the massive Kincaide Fire near Santa Rosa, and what we are learning from PG&E’s preventative blackouts and evacuation strategies.  And, after a rather serious discussion on this and related topics, we delve into some research on stress, where rats were trained to drive little cars. Their findings, male rats like to drive for relieving stress, go figure..Enjoy!

This week has been tough for us Californians regarding wildfires and preventative blackouts, and our listeners had a lot to say about it, including some good preventitive suggestions for future scenarios, like reducing the forest fuel loads and more trimming and closer monitoring of the transmission lines. Our firetracker, Frank Schwartz checked in briefly, as his bandwidth was very limited in the blackout zone known as Sebastopol. He’ll be back next week for a more comprehensive report.  

Other news includes the landing of the X37B spaceplane after two years in orbit, the 50th anniversary of the Internet, a new lunar rover mission to look for water ice, sperm in space experiments, the asteroid Hygieia is now recognized as a dwarf planet, a new telescope at Kitts Peak in Arizona will observe thousands of galaxies in studying the nature of dark matter and why the Universe is accelerating it’s expansion, and how powerful short pulsing lasers can reduce the radioactive half life of nuclear waste!
