Joining and Distinguishing 'BLANK for non-BLANK' Network
00:02:45
Speaker
On this very, very special episode of Breaking Math, I have the privilege of announcing that Breaking Math is now joining a network of other podcasters. The network is called BLANK for non-BLANK. We talked a little bit about this on our last episode, but we're going to go into detail now. The mission of the network is to make expert level subject matter accessible to non-experts.
00:03:08
Speaker
It's the belief of blank for non-blank that education is paramount to a functioning society, and that by doing these podcasts, we can do our part in maintaining it.
00:03:16
Speaker
Blank for non-blank is unlike other networks. While other networks aggregate content, blank for non-blank seeks to create synergy through the cross-examination of content that can only come from cross-disciplinary discourse. You already know that Breaking Math does this. We, of course, had an episode on information theory, which would usually be taught basically at the university level, and we brought it all down to a layman's level by presenting it as a game.
00:03:43
Speaker
Not to mention our episode on physics which brought concepts as it advances Noether's theorem and symmetry breaking to you guys in a way which guided further research and didn't touch upon the most inaccessible aspects of either.
00:03:54
Speaker
And blank for non-blank does this with subjects like linguistics, philosophy, chemistry, quantum physics, and more. You can find out more at www.blankfornonblank.com. It really is where the technical, the scientific, the research-oriented, the cultural, and the arts all come together.
00:04:14
Speaker
So now, without further ado, we're going to talk to you about the other podcasts on Blank for Non-Blank, which you'll probably love if you're a fan of this show. There are currently six different podcasts that we're going to talk about on the network Blank for Non-Blank. These podcasts include two different linguistics podcasts, one of them is about theory linguistics as a whole, and the other is about the history and evolution of individual words in the English language. There's also a chemistry podcast that is also about cultural beliefs and skepticism as well as the scientific worldview.
00:04:41
Speaker
There's a podcast that reads original versions of folk tales every week from cultures throughout the globe. There's a debate podcast. And finally, there's breaking math. In the next part of the mini-sode, we're going to tell you a little bit more about each program in detail and tell you where to find them.
00:04:56
Speaker
The very first podcast that we're going to talk about is called Let's Talk Talk.
Exploring Podcasts within the Network
00:05:01
Speaker
Let's Talk Talk is a podcast all about linguistics. It is hosted by a gentleman and scholar by the name of Seth Wilson. Seth Wilson is an avid lover of all things linguistics. He has his master's degree in sociolinguistics from the University of Mississippi. Seth wanted to bring his love of linguistics to folks who don't quite know what it is. Seth thinks that all people are fans of linguistics of language science. Sound familiar?
00:05:27
Speaker
That's right, actually. We had an episode on language as well. Was it Breaking Math episode five, I believe? I believe so. It was called Word, in fact. So we are also big fans of linguistics. We agree with Seth on that.
00:05:40
Speaker
and fans of saying that people will love our podcast. They just don't know it yet. As I was saying earlier, Seth believes that all people are fans of language science. They just don't know it until you tell them about it. He believes that learning about language is essential to human progression as every human civilization has and uses language.
00:06:05
Speaker
There are many topics discussed on his podcast. Some of these include conceptual metaphor, the concept of morphology, the role of gender in language and society. Also, there are episodes on music and language as well as performing arts in general like comedy and language.
00:06:23
Speaker
Also, etymology, Latin and linguistics, bilingualism, and many other subjects about the nature of language and culture and how we as humans communicate. Now, for those of you who are interested in the Let's Talk Talk podcast, you can find it at letstalktalkpodcast.com.
00:06:42
Speaker
pod dot podiant dot co the podcast is also available on several major podcast players such as apple podcasts overplay pocket casts stitcher and google play in fact all the episodes we're going to talk about on all the shows that we're going to talk about can be found through any major podcast player
00:07:04
Speaker
We're going to talk a little bit about the Mad Scientist podcast. That again is the Mad Scientist podcast. Chris is the founder and host of the Mad Scientist podcast and co-host of the Mad Scientist roundtables. He has a PhD in chemical engineering. The Mad Scientist podcast is a show about the science, philosophy, and history of paranormal, pseudoscientific, and otherwise weird claims.
00:07:24
Speaker
Hosts Chris and Marie delve deep into the series and funny topics with a mix of in-depth, science-heavy episodes on a variety of topics and roundtables featuring both hosts answering listener questions and discussing less serious weirdness. They talk about everything from cannibalism to climate change, flat earth theory to the monsters that live beneath the flat earth, and time crystals.
00:07:45
Speaker
You can find the Mad Scientist podcast at www.themadscientistpodcast.com. Also, it is available at audioboom.com slash channel slash the Mad Scientist podcast.
00:07:59
Speaker
For you the listeners of breaking out podcast audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service Gabriel do you have a recommendation? Yes, yes, actually I was just now browsing audible.com and I found one of my Favorite books of all time that book is surely you must be joking. Mr. Feynman. We even talked about Feynman on a previous episode. We mentioned him on the physics episode I believe we also talked about him on crypto math actually, so He's a fun guy to read about
00:08:28
Speaker
And I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite books also. It's called, um, surely you're joking. Mr. Feynman. Just kidding. I'm going to talk to you about a book. I really love the book too, though. Double recommendation for me. Um, it's called the endurance and it's about a trip to the Antarctic. Um, it's pretty harrowing. Um, there's, uh, people eating dogs. Um, there's decisions that have to be made at the last moment, uh, death, bravery, everything that you need. Wow. That, that sounds pretty intense. I may have to download that one myself.
00:08:59
Speaker
And so now, onto the show. The next podcast that we're going to talk about, the third show that we will mention is called The Cross-Examined Life. The Cross-Examined Life is a weekly audio program that improves the way we disagree with one another. This is a skill that I think we all need, those of us who do anything online these days.
00:09:20
Speaker
In each episode, a guest advances and then defends a controversial position on a social or economic or religious or political or ethical issue. The guest is then cross-examined by the show's host, Chris Tatum. Some of the episodes include Should All Drugs Be Legalized? or Should We Keep Corporal Punishment?
00:09:44
Speaker
Also, are sanctuary cities a good idea? There's also an episode on, is every word of the Bible from God? And many, many other controversial issues. The show also includes a lot of tips for discussing with people on subject matters that you may disagree about. You can find the Cross-Examine Podcast, I'm sorry, you can find the Cross-Examine Life Podcast at
00:10:10
Speaker
www.crossexaminedlife.com. It is also available on Apple Podcasts and Stitcher. Another show that you can find on the network is called Words for Granted. The Words for Granted podcast is a podcast that looks at how words change over time. Each episode looks at the evolution of a single word, but it's not necessarily just an etymology podcast. Host Ray Belli blends linguistics, history, and engaging storytelling to breathe life into the English lexicon.
00:10:39
Speaker
The podcast includes episodes on the history of several words, including villain, weird, comedy, tragedy, tyrant, ostracized, cellular, and the days of the week. It has also a thing on polysema's words and many more bonus episodes on the origin of certain suffixes and things like that. And he talks a lot about Latin and he pronounces it Latin. And it was a whole thing on the podcast. It was very funny.
00:11:05
Speaker
You can find it at wordsforgranted.com as well as Libsyn and Stitcher.
00:11:28
Speaker
There are currently over 200 episodes on the podcast with folklore from cultures all throughout the world, including princess origin stories like Rapunzel and Beauty and the Beast, also Little Redcap, aka Little Red Riding Hood.
00:11:45
Speaker
as well as tales from the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Oscar Wilde, and many more, as I said, from all throughout the world. On the About section of the website, our host Dan explains that he is a father whose greatest joy is passing on his love of folk and fairy tales to his daughter Elle.
00:12:05
Speaker
This podcast is dedicated to her and to everyone else who has a love of the magic that surrounds our everyday life and the way we try to explain it. To listen to this great podcast, you can visit www.folktailproject.com as well as find it on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Google Play, Auto Radio, TuneIn, and YouTube.
00:12:28
Speaker
And I just realized, you know, as we're naming all the places you can find these podcasts, you have a link to them just from the single website, blank for non blank.com. So I wanted to emphasize that as well. You don't have to remember all of these things. You just got one thing to remember. Yes. Yeah. In fact, you can forget about our website if you feel like it, but then you won't see our cool apps. Yeah, that's true. But, but, but, you know, we are linked on www.blankfornonblank.com.
00:12:54
Speaker
When it comes to collaboration, the people who you work with say almost as much about you as the content you provide, and we're honored to work with a group of such dedicated, educated, professional, and passionate people as the folks at blankfornobblank.com. Gabriel, do you have anything to add?
00:13:09
Speaker
I guess if I had anything to add, it would be just to check out the other episodes. I will personally vouch for how much you'll enjoy them, every one of them. If, well, I can't say every one of them. There's so many rich ones, you know, across the board. You know, if this minisode didn't make that point well enough. No, I agree. I sort of feel weird because I've come very quickly thinking about the folks at Blank4DotBlank as friends, and I'm in an awkward position where I'm enjoying friends' podcasts. I don't know, is it really awkward?
00:13:38
Speaker
No, no. I think that building a community is what we're going for and what we're trying to, we're going to succeed in creating this in a very, very short time. True.
00:13:51
Speaker
Um, so I'm Jonathan and I'm Gabriel and this has been a minisode of breaking math. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider donating to our patreon at patreon.com.
