Episode 5
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026
In this episode, Nate and Mike light up a Cohiba Blue Robusto and dive into the stories of remarkable but often overlooked historical figures who shaped science, exploration, and technology. From Henrietta Swan Leavitt’s role in cosmology and Rosalind Franklin’s crucial DNA photo to the pioneering work of Oliver Heaviside in electromagnetism and Margaret Hamilton’s Apollo software engineering, they explore how institutional bias, social norms, and lost narratives have kept these geniuses out of the spotlight. Along the way, they touch on the complexities of history, the cultural context of scientific discovery, and the enduring impact of these unsung heroes. Plus, enjoy their candid cigar reviews and lively banter on everything from politics to keyboard layouts. Join them for a thoughtful and engaging conversation about the power of forgotten contributions.Web | Patreon | Facebook | Instagram
