It's a Microphone, Not a Vibrator

Jann Arden welcomes back friend of the show, scientist Dan Riskin!

Jann Arden, Caitlin Green & Sarah Burke welcome back scientist Dan Riskin! He shares his experiences in the Galapagos Islands and discusses eco-tourism while dropping some knowledge about evolution and natural habitats. The conversation also explores the impact of sound quality on communication, clickbait headlines, and the significance of purpose in senior happiness. Jann and Dan also discuss the influence of AI on our perceptions of attractiveness, the lost art of handwriting, and the therapeutic benefits of journaling. We hope you enjoy Dan's airport mishap as much as we did...
