#49 - The Great Stench Debacle

This week, we discuss the future of electric cars some more, decide if inappropriate drinking will save, or bring down our civilization, and endlessly debate the worthiness of a smell-detecting patent from Google. This one got a little crazy...

Future Chat #40: Well That Went Well

This week on Future Chat, we did an experiment, ran into a few bumps along the way, but overall had a great conversation.
**FYI, as you will hear, we had some audio issues in this episode (hence the delay from the usual weekend posting). I have cleaned it up as much as I could, but that's what you're hearing.**

Future Sci Chat #4: Beer

We are changing things up a little on Future Chat as of this week. You'll notice that as you read this, the webcast has already happened. If you want to follow the chats live, they normally happen on Saturdays at 12:30 PM. Subscribe to Future Chat on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook or Google+ to keep up to date on when the live webcasts are happening. However, by the time you see this article now, it means that you can watch the video itself, and it also means you'll be able to go listen to the podcast version of the episode. These should in most cases appear within 24 hours of the airing of the show.

I'd love to hear from viewers if you like this system more or less than the old way, and to everybody else, I hope you enjoy our episode on beer, which can be found below!

In this episode, we talked about beer! Nick is brewing his own beer, so we chatted about his experience and results in brewing, how you can absolutely tell beers apart by taste, and how provincial regulations are taking money from beer out of Ontario.
