Awesome podcast for you to stream.  20 minute story about  lucid dreaming.  You've got to listen to the whole thing- to me it was a "jaw-dropper."  Click on the photo to open the link.

Another awesome podcast from the dudes at Radiolab.  This is a long one, a bit over an hour.  It's about being stuck in a repetitive loop.  I think the stories about the woman suffering from short term amnesia and the whale fall are especially poignant.  Click on the photo to open the link. 


A great little funny video about "knowing" and technology.  While this is comedic, it is interesting to think about how technology and the speed of information might actually undermine wonderment.
