Gary Noesner - Waco, Negotiation, and the Paradox of Power

Gary Noesner spent more than 30 years with the FBI, served as Chief of the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit, led negotiations during the Waco siege, helped reshape modern hostage negotiation training, and authored the influential book Stalling for Time.
In this conversation, Gary and I explore what actually works when people are at their worst. We discuss the lessons of Waco, why negotiation should almost always take precedence over force, how empathy differs from agreement, the psychology of trust, what makes a great negotiator, the dangers of authority without self-control, and how active listening can transform everything from hostage situations to everyday relationships.

Sean B. Carroll is one of the world's leading evolutionary biologists, a bestselling science author, former Vice President for Science Education at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, recipient of the National Academy of Sciences Stephen Jay Gould Prize, and a pioneer of evolutionary developmental biology ("evo devo").

Daniel Whiteson - Are We Discovering Reality or Inventing It?

Dr. Daniel Whiteson is a theoretical physicist at CERN, a professor at University of California, Irvine, and a contributor to the discovery of the Higgs boson. He is also the co-host of the podcast “Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe” and author of popular science books exploring the limits of human understanding.
What if physics isn’t actually “real”… but just the way humans happen to describe reality?
In this conversation, we explore whether our understanding of the universe is objective truth or a human-centered framework. We talk about alien intelligence, the limits of human cognition, why the Big Bang is widely misunderstood, and whether we might encounter truths we’re simply incapable of understanding. This is less about answers—and more about questioning the assumptions we didn’t even realize we were making.

Mark Sargent - Life As A Flat-Earther

Mark Sargent  ⁨@markksargent⁩  is a leading figure in the Flat Earth movement. Rather than focusing on proving or disproving claims, this conversation dives into the experience of belief - what leads someone there, what keeps them there, and what it costs relationally.
From frustration and fear to community and identity, this is a conversation about how humans make sense of the world, even when that world stops making sense.
