As you may have heard, Tig was quite ill recently. The technical name of her ailment is Clostridium Difficile, or C Diff for short. And it’s a bastard. It is a type of bacterial strain, that left unchecked, can run rampant and is responsible for over 14,000 deaths per year. How does it spread? How do you get it? Or avoid getting it? Is it like a cat in a hamster ball? We brought back one of our favorite guests, Emily Rittershaus – a PhD student at the UMass Medical School, to give us all the answers. Listen now at earwolf.com

This week we have a doctor in the hatch. A doctor of Physics. We welcome comedian/scientist/PhD Dr. Dave Relyea to clue us in to exactly what it is that happens inside an atom. And how the hell do LED lights work? And what do they have to do with quantum physics? What is quantum physics? Does it tell us anything about the world that might help explain what it is?

This week we invited our friend Dave Hill into the hatch. He is a rocker, a troubadour, a world traveler, and author. His new book Tasteful Nudes is available on Amazon and everywhere books are sold. We wanted to talk with Dave about Human Energy. As an expert in the subject, we were curious how he keeps bringing the heat all day everyday. Journey with us into the mystical, the unknown, and the uncomfortable world of human energy. Now at earwolf.com
