The world is filled with conspiracies and I didn't know that the titanic has so many and I figured I'd talk to past guest Jessica an underwater archaeologist to get her thoughts on it since the same day this episode is posted April 12th in 1912 was the day the unsinkable ship set sail.

The power of information is a valuable tool but what does that mean if its restricted to what they want you to know.

Another episode with past guest Tim as we discuss some academic challenges people face and also hit the theory that dinosaurs are fake him being a paleontologist seems like the proper person to ask.
