Solar? Only good during the daytime. Wind?! What about the BIRDS!? How about a renewable energy source deep beneath our feet, Geothermal Power! Tongue-in-cheek dissing on other power sources aside, geothermal is a kind of renewable energy that hasn't been discussed in the public eye as much as solar and wind, even though it has successfully been powering homes in the US and abroad for decades. Can this power source be deployed in areas outside of geothermal hot spots? How does it make electricity from ground-hotness? Find out in this episode!

Ep. 73 Cheese, Glorious Cheese (Part 1!)
In the European Union alone over 9 million tons of cheese are consumed every year. 9 MILLION TONS! And hey, per capita the United States is second place behind EU denizens, consuming a mere 37 pounds of cheese per person per year. Anyway, what is cheese? How is it made? Why does milk have nanoparticles in it? All this and more on this first episode of a two parter on cheese! I know, I can't believe we had to cut an episode on cheese in two.
