#025- Should You Prepare

It seems that since the inception of civilization, people have been predicting how it will collapse. A common trope in mythology, religion, and science fiction has been that of apocalypse and the ensuing struggle for survival in the aftermath. In the episode, hosts Dexter and Shannon explore evidence for possible cataclysms of the past and potential calamities of the future. The conversation ends in a debate that you are not going to want to miss.

#017- Societal Guardrails

Highways allow us to get where we’re going at high speeds, but this convenience doesn’t come without risk. We have the ability to easily travel between locations, but we now have to worry about high speed car wrecks. Our modern lifestyle creates new hazards. Thus, the guardrails were designed to offer protection and minimize risk, but what are other areas of society that need metaphorical guardrails? In this episode, we discuss societal trade-offs - trading in one risk for another. We talk about distinctions between Eastern and Western thought, the advancement of modern medicine, and the emergence of fitness centers. Have we traded in our humanity for the guise of progress?

#015- Cultural Residue

Do you own your culture? Or does your culture own you? I have always been curious about the line between cultural characteristics and genuine persona. Where does your culture stop and the individual start? In this episode, we explore the way cultures around the world modify their bodies to participate and play a role within their culture. We then turn the lens onto our own post-internet culture to see the parallels and contradictions.

#014-Master of Linguistics

#014-Master of Linguistics

This episode was years in the making. Shannon has been in graduate school at Texas Tech for the last 5 years, and she is now officially finished. She has been an inspiration to me through this process, and I couldn’t be more proud. For this episode, we really just wanted to talk about her experience in school and explore the world of linguistics. Shannon nerds out about topics such as linguistic hegemony, the wug test, and optimality theory. Consider this a toe dip into the vast ocean of Linguistics. We’re sure there will be more in-depth episodes over these topics in the future, but for now, consider this a teaser.

#013-Metrics

This episode is following up on some concepts introduced in the last episode, The Zero. When people talk about metrics, it’s usually used to discuss something quantifiable…things like money or data. What if we instead applied it to other, less-quantifiable things as well - things like happiness or time well spent. Shannon and I explore how metric and data collection, when applied outside of the normal metrics, can reveal aspects about ourselves that are often hidden from view. Join us in rethinking some of the metrics around us as we head into 2023!

Thank you for the support over the past few years, we launched this podcast at possibly the worst time for us with living situation and life responsibilities, However… we are now ready to pursue The D_program Podcast with the enthusiasm that it, and you, deserve. We have goals for this next year which include more consistent content!

#009- You're in a simulation

#009- You're in a simulation

The emergence of the “Meta Verse” represents a new stage of the internet, dubbed “Web 3”. This new platform presents a new level of virtual existence, which just so happens to feel eerily similar to many dystopian novel plots. With virtual reality at our doorstep, Shannon and I felt intrigued to look into simulations and how they relate to society and to humanity as a whole. In this episode, we introduce simulation as a concept and dig into Nick Bostrom’s Simulator Theory. We also discuss varying degrees of abstractness within the concept of simulation. We hope this is only the first of many episodes to come covering simulations. What do you think? Are we in a simulation?

#004- Crypto with Kishore (part 1)

#004- Crypto with Kishore (part 1)

This is part 1 of a 3 part story exploring the topic of crypto currency and DeFi. This was a barn burner of a recording at over 3 hours, which sets a record as our longest interview, and I honestly felt like the conversation could have kept going, the topics were far from exhausted. Our guest, Kishore Yalamanchili, is a pulmonologist by trade and gained a large Facebook following as he gave updates on the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. After attending a crypto meet-up at Dream Chasers Cafe, which he host, I knew I needed to have him as a guest on the podcast. I hope you enjoy this episode. Be on the lookout for part 2 & 3 which will follow soon.

#001-The pilot episode

#001-The pilot episode

This is the pilot episode. I, Dexter, am joined by my cohost and wife, Shannon, and special guest Milky Mike. We cover what we hope this podcast will be, what is prompting us to do this show, and some of the social context which will influence and impact our conversations going forward. This was the first time we recorded with all our new gear, and as can be expected with Murphy’s Law, some things went wrong. But, a lot of things also went right, and recording and editing this show was a great learning experience. I am excited by this show’s potential and am motivated to do my best to reach for it. Please like, follow, and share wherever you listen. Tell a friend. Reach out to us through our website, or connect with us on our subreddit. I really hope you enjoy the show and join us in this new project. Our number one goal is to start conversations and make connections. Cheers, Amigos!
