Today James Reed, co-host of the Science Night Podcast, takes a turn at stirring the pot. He sat down with another co-host of the Science Night Podcast, Dr. Steffi Diem, to talk about her second life as a competitive dog agility trainer. Settle in as she tells you about the journey that took her from finding an outlet for a restless pet to competing for a world championship in Madrid, and what exactly dog snooker is. Our Guest: By day, Dr Diem is an assistant professor at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison’s Engineering Physics Dept. and Principal Investigator at the Pegasus-III fusion energy experiment. In her spare time she practices and competes in dog agility training with her furry friends: Dangerboat,Inara, and Starbuck.

Episode 3: Ready, Set, Go!

Odds are you've heard of chess and checkers, but did you know there is a widely popular board game that has remained mostly unchanged for thousands of years? It may not be as popular in the west, but Go (aka, Baduk, Igo, and Weiqi) boasts a huge following all over Asia and in many cities here in the States. I sat down with Andrew Okun--the President of the American Go Association--over Zoom to ask him some questions about the game. Hosted and edited by Cody Sullivan, and produced in part by the Riverpower Podcast Mill. (you can try playing Go yourself at https://www.cosumi.net/en/ [https://www.cosumi.net/en/])

Episode 2: Why be Sweet when you can be Sourdough?

On this episode of The Stone Soup Podcast, I am joined by my good friend, Shelbi Aris! Among many other talents, Shelbi is a baking enthusiast and veritable sourdough expert. I wanted to ask her about how she got into baking, and why sourdough. Then taking that conversation a step further, I wanted to know why sourdough has become so popular during the quarantine-times we are living in. Tune in to hear her insight!
