Show Notes:
Stephen reviewed Run Fatboy, Run and gave it a big thumb's up!
Tales of the Paranormal featured the story of a university inexplicably canceling its course in UFOlogy.
The guys discussed replication technology and the implications for a world without scarcity. Are we heading for utopia, a robot-driven version of Marx's Worker's Paradise? What risks do we face in a world where anyone can make anything? And how will we protect ourselves from those risks?
Astounding Science Facts featured Mysteries of the Deep:
A New "Stonehenge" Discovered Under Lake Michigan
Finally, the guys talked abut how creativity can be encouraged and why we need it more than ever.

This is my favorite and the most insiring, FFRadio show. I particularly liked the part with the talk of the Robotics government. I've got to learn more about what that guy wrote.
