Shell Game: Minimum Viable Company – Radiolab

A year ago we brought you a show called Shell Game where a journalist named Evan Ratliff made an AI copy of himself. Now on season 2 of the show, Evan’s using AI to do more than just mimic himself — he’s starting a company staffed entirely by AI agents, and making a podcast about the experience. The show is a smart, funny, and truly bizarre look at what AI can do—and what it can’t. This week we bring you the first episode of Shell Game Season Two, Minimum Viable Company.

High Blood Pressure – StarDate

Storms on the Sun can cause all kinds of problems. They can knock out satellites and black out power grids. They can interfere with GPS and disrupt some radio broadcasts. They can even have an impact on human health. Solar storms happen when the Sun’s magnetic field gets tangled up. Lines of magnetic force can snap, then reconnect. That produces outbursts of radiation and charged particles. When the particles hit Earth, they’re funneled toward the surface by our planet’s own magnetic field. And that’s what causes the problems. Among the health concerns, particles and radiation can penetrate deeper into the atmosphere around the magnetic poles. That zaps anyone who’s flying at high altitudes in those regions. It’s not a fatal dose, but it’s enough to cause concerns. So airlines divert flights to avoid exposing passengers and crew. There’s also evidence that these bouts of “space weather” can boost people’s blood pressure. In one study, researchers in China looked at half a million blood pressure readings taken over six years. And they found a definite jump around the time of solar storms – especially among women and those with hypertension. An American team found similar results among older men. There’s no consensus about how space weather might cause blood pressure to spike. For now, all we know is that stormy skies on the Sun can cause lots of problems for the people on Earth.

(9 minutes)Act One: Jad Abumrad tells the story of the "ideological genealogy” of Fela Kuti’s anti-colonial politics–his mother. In late 1940s Nigeria, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti found herself at the center of a big, historical moment: an uprising led by thousands of women selling goods in Nigeria’s markets. Jad goes searching for who she really was, and how she became the person who galvanized a movement when history demanded it of her. (45 minutes)Transcripts are available at thisamericanlife.orgThis American Life privacy policy.Learn more about sponsor message choices.
