Once upon a time, a Dutch pilot became the unwitting flight instructor to two 9/11 hijackers. Once hailed as an American Dream success story, he was soon branded a national villain, hunted by the media, and hounded by the feds. AND THINGS GET WEIRDER FROM THERE.

Lindsey has type 1 diabetes AKA T1D AKA The Big Stupid Kahuna. You have probably heard of type 2 diabetes -- your grandma might have it; that's why she's always popping those sugar-free caramels -- but there's a lottttt about this disease that remains in the dark.
SO: We're hear to talk about the different types of diabetes, the (very reassuring, not at all disturbing) history, and, of course, INSULIN! The thing that can kill us, either way.

This true-to-the-bone cowboy fought in the Civil War, escaped slavery, learned several indigenous languages, became a U.S. Marshal, was a legendary sharp shooter, captured thousands of dangerous outlaws, and never sustained a bullet wound. Ever heard of him? Neither have we.

Space is full of stuff: Gas, dust, rock, more gas, more rock. But there is one region of the universe that is so empty, so completely void of matter, light, or detectable energy, that cosmologists refer to it as The Great Nothing.
At 330 million light years across, astronomers expect to see thousands of galaxies swirling around, but The Bootes Void has about sixty.
Why is this region of space so empty? Is it proof of the multiverse? Did an alien vacuum out all the stuff? Is it Tom Cruise's fault? Lindsey is here to answer all of these questions and more. She's also here to talk about her weird roommate.

Picture this: You're in Germany, 1828. You're cobbling together a new pair of shoes, maybe eating an afternoon snack of grass and bread germ. Suddenly a teenager emerges from the dark woods. His clothes are tattered. He cannot explain where he comes from. And he's clutching two letters written by his former captors. This boy, you learn a few weeks later, is named Kaspar Hauser.
Where did Kaspar Hauser come from? And, perhaps more pressingly: Why does somebody want him dead?

Somewhere in Medieval England, two children wandered from the mists and into a tiny rural village. They did not speak English, could not explain where they had come from, and -- perhaps most notably -- their skin was bright green.
WHAT?!
Connor as the answers. (Well, some of them.)

In 1910, Captain Robert Falcon Scott set out with a most ambitious goal: Travel to the South Pole -- by foot! -- and claim it for England. He took with him a gaggle of sled dogs, snow ponies, and equally ambitious, "bull-necked" men. This is the story of their journey to the middle of the world, through ice storms and polar nights, to reach a place no man had gone before.
