Industry won't fund further research on drugs close to their patent expiration

It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain anonymity in our technological culture, but some secrecy and mythology can still be achieved not in spite of, but because of those advances. @mad_genius is a collective of audiovisual experimenters that twist the sounds of our everyday or collective experiences into musical moments that encapsulate a time, place, person, or event. The elusive "Magnus Genioso" will introduce you to the collective and even offer you a special invitation.


49: Mad Genius

Jukeboxes have fallen out of favor as time and technology marches on, but they still serve as reminders of a different time with respects to music and culture. Berry Bell shares information about jukeboxes and walks us through his collection on this week's show. Put a few quarters in the machine and listen to learn more about the "jutebox" confusion, the Gullah roots of the machine's nickname, and how jukeboxes changed radio programming forever.

1- The Rise And Fall And Rise And Fall And Rise Of Thomas Alva Edison

A few years ago your host took a pilgrimage to Copenhagen to walk the streets the great Dane Søren Kierkegaard once walked. He wanted to understand  the meaning of Kierkegaard's religious stage so he decided to ask the experts at the Kierkegaard research center. Also Photographer Dina Litovksy tells us about the history and some of the secrets of the modern bachelorette party. And Michael Holmes tells us about life's final stage - death.

Stages On Life's Way

For our fourth and most delicious Bite yet, we take a journey through the five basic tastes guided by Dr. Gary Beauchamp. Together we investigate why the things that we eat and drink have different tastes, and what it means to taste something in the first place. 


CTOR Bites- Episode 4 - Taste and Taste-ability

Think of your favorite song. How does it make you feel? What images do you see when you hear it? Before reaching the brain to create those feelings and images, those musical sounds take a strange, physical, mechanical, and sometimes violent path through the ear. 

A large part of how we perceive the audible world depends upon a set of tiny, vibrating bones--bones that often get overlooked until something goes wrong. In this episode, you’ll hear the story of these unsung skeletal heroes. We’ll talk about the role they play in hearing, and how unforeseen circumstances can cause irreparable damage.  

Episode 3 - Good Vibrations

In this episode, a team of researchers disprove a decades-old dogma. The result? The first ever FDA-approved drug for primary-progressive multiple sclerosis. In this inspiring story spanning decades of research, you’ll hear all the science, and all the dramatic twists, behind this radical new treatment.

Clinical Trials and Tribulations: Steve Hauser's quest to cure MS

Eyewitness

Science is one of the most powerful influences in our lives. The medicines we use, the foods we eat, the technologies we have – they are all products of the scientific process. But many people are disconnected from that process. They see science as something foreign, done in secret labs by strange people. And that’s wrong! Science is an open discussion, and scientists are regular folk who happen to be curious about how things work. But how can scientists show that to the public? 

That’s where Carry the One Radio comes in.

CTOR is a podcast designed to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public. We give scientists a platform to talk about their work, their motivations for being scientists, and what gets them out of bed in the morning. We try to find researchers who are passionate about their work, and who are operating at the edge of their field. That way, listeners get to hear about cool discoveries directly from the researchers (sometimes even before the discoveries are made public). We post 1-2 news episodes each month, along with information about the scientists we interviewed. And because we let the scientists speak directly to the public, listeners get more than sound bites and pretty pictures; they get the whole story. 

We bring science straight to your ears.
