THE INTERNAL MEDIATIONS OF SAMWISE

A NEW SERIES FROM SLOOM: AN IMMORTAL BEING PONDERS CONVOLUTED HUMAN NOTIONS OF DEATH, TIME, AND EXISTENCE. LISTEN TO THE THOUGHTS OF SAMWISE THE SULLEN.

Which Will Kill Us First: a Supervolcano or Ragnorak?

Special mid-week episode! The world is going to end some day. We brought on Kat to talk about many different painful ends to the universe. We also kind of talked about saving it (but not really). Fun Fact: humans are really bad at doing things that won’t end themselves. For more episodes of SlOOM, click one of the buttons below.

Brains are Strange, Computers aren’t Safe

Jasper, Lucas, and Juleon talk about senses and weird brain things. The audio gets a little strange, but it gets better. Then, we talk about sonic and visual computer hacking, which is cool, but ineffective.

Awkwardly Talking About Awkward Humor

On today’s episode, Jordan and Celia join Lucas in a discussion about just about anything. To be honest, we didn’t prepare and just recorded this on a whim. We eventually get to talking about awkward humor, and when it is good or bad. Then we talk about running and sports because why not?

We Talk About Our Feelings But Actually It’s Just Math

Juleon joins the podcast today to talk about some computer science things. Things very quickly go sideways into a conversation about using math to describe emotions (yay CDM’s) and giving Artificial Intelligence emotions. We finish the podcast by rambling about parallel computing and computer speeds for a bit.

Vodka, Donuts, and Negative Mass

Jasper and Lucas bring Lucas' boss, Ben, on to the podcast to talk about making solar panels with donuts and vodka. We also discuss some of consequences of negative mass. For more episodes from the Sloom series, click the button below!
