July 4th Special: Washington's Farewell Address, What is a Marimba?

Brett and Brad correct the record from last week by reviewing the differences and similarities between Marimbas, Xylophones, Vibraphones, and Glockenspiels. After that little sojourn, we read George Washington's Farewell Address to the nation, a now little read published speech Washington that he intended to serve as well wishes for the citizens of the new USA. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Reflecting Pool, Iran Deal, The 21st Amendment

We briefly touch on the Iran deal, or some of the details, before moving on. After the break, Brad regales you with the tale of the 21st Amendment that repealed Prohibition and we end with a short, somewhat related Supreme Court case, United States v.

What is Heat?, Flock Cameras, the 19th Amendment

Brett and Brad follow up on confusion from last week with a discussion of what heat is and why phase changes matter for efficiency. We then talk Flock cameras, those ubiquitous automated license plate readers that have spread like wildfire across the country in the last few years. After the break, we talk the 19th Amendment: women's suffrage. Brett relates Danny DeVito's narration of the Matilda movie at Severance Hall. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Data Centers, The 18th Amendment

Brett and Brad go deep on data centers. What are they? Why are people concerned about them? What resources do they use? Who pays for them? Are they good or bad? After the break, we continue our series on constitutional amendments with the 18th: Prohibition. Plus, some movie recommendations worked in. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
