Science or Whatever

We welcome back the show based around the interests of our collective friend and honorary Small Bean Griffin Rowell. Basically, everyone here at the Small Beans find him fascinating so we felt you should hear him too. In this miniseries, Michael and Griffin look into the metaverse, the technology behind it, its inevitability, and the possible forms it may take in our future. This first episode introduces us to the concepts of what makes a metaverse, the blockchain, those apes we’ve all seen, and why we should care. Resident dummy Michael asks all the questions you may have had but were too afraid to (or just had no interest in) asking about whatever all of this is.

Betcha didn’t expect a brand-spankin' new podcast! This one takes us to the wonderful world of the physical. Science! Or whatever.

This episode takes us to 1666 and the “wonderful year” of Newton. Oh hey, he did all these things in quarantine. So listen and immediately feel like you’ve been squandering your stay-at-home year.
