The MacArthur Foundation awards the "Genius Grant" every year to the most compelling scientists, educators and artists in the country. But who are these "geniuses," really? Host Bob Garfield sits down with fellows, including writer and producer David Simon, radio producer Jad Abumrad, and inventor Amy Smith, to learn what events shaped their life, how they became leaders in their fields, and what they imagine our shared future looks like.

Story
Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.

Story
Edison era un paraculo e Tesla un sociopatico, Lavoisier ha assassinato l'alchimia e Curie ha scoperto una nuova chimica, Einstein era un disagiato che ce l'ha fatta e Galileo un provocatore, Darwin assaggiava la natura mentre Spallanzani la seviziava. Otto storie di scienza raccontate da Barbascura X a sé stesso... letteralmente! Ecco cosa succede quando si affida un podcast ad un pirata affetto da personalità multiple.

Story
“We are as gods and might as well get good at it.” These are the opening lines that radical thinker, environmentalist, and technologist Stewart Brand wrote for The Whole Earth Catalog. His thesis—that humans should use our god-like powers to build a better way to live—is at the core of his extraordinary life. At key historical moments in the 20th century, Stewart Brand was behind the scenes shaping things. As founding editor of Wired Magazine Kevin Kelly says, “Stewart has a Forest Gump-like superpower—he can sense where the future is and be there.”

Story
La voce di Gabriella Greison, fisica, scrittrice e attrice teatrale, racconta la vita di Marie Curie, tracciandone gli aspetti più umani e meno conosciuti, pensando di averla di fianco nella vita di tutti giorni, e parlando con lei come se fosse presente, come se fosse una sorta di amica immaginaria. Ogni episodio segue uno stato d'animo o un lascito indelebile che ci ha lasciato la grande scienziata polacca, e da questi Greison parte con dei voli verso altri luoghi. Le contaminazioni con arte, cinema, musica, attualità e quotidianità sono la base di questo curioso podcast.
