Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers are huge. They use water to cool the equipment. Is AI water consumption a problem? And finally! We get to the end of the American Revolution.

014 | The British are Coming!!! & The Florida Keys Reef is healing!

The American Revolution is kicking off! The Continental Congress tries to reconcile with King George, but he's not having it. Lexington and Concord, Fort Ticonderoga, and the Battle of Bunker Hill all happen before George Washington is appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. The Florida Keys Reef has been hurting for many years. Since the early 1900s, scientists have been tracking it and trying to heal it. Stone coral and fish are being reintroduced, and the reef is now on the right track!

013 | How We Got the Winter Olympics & How America Got to the Boston Tea Party

How did we get the Winter Olympics… and how did America get to the Boston Tea Party? In this episode, we trace the rise of the Winter Games from scattered snow sports to a global event — then jump back to 1620 to follow Colonial America from fragile settlements to full-blown rebellion in 1773. Ice, empires, taxes, and tea. Two origin stories. One episode.
