That’s it, show’s over– nothing to see here– just tons and tons of episodes to listen to! That’s right, The Zipline Show is now on it’s final episode, and it’s been a great year of talking about Rockets, Nuclear Power, Scientists in History, Technology, Programming, WiFi, Digital Publishing, Copyright…. *whew, so much stuff!

Episode 50: Coming to You by Bitstream!

Today we talk about buying things that are sent to you via digital distribution. Well not just anything- movies, software, music, tv, books, apps, movies, etc. Content providers are giving us these things through the Internet with zero packaging and zero guarantee if you lose them. We try to decide if this is good or bad for both the consumer and the company. This discussion then brings us into the wonderful land of net neutrality.

Episode 47: It’s All in Your Head

Today we get in your head and talk a little about Mind Games! Will and I love games, we love puzzles, we love toys– so when I walked into a store at the Mall that sold brain training toys, I knew what our next show was going to be about! As we explored how these toys and games affected mental fitness, we were intrigued about what the benefits of mental fitness were, and that led to research, and that led to the show.
