Science writer Rachael Funnell gives the scoop on why our pets eat grass. John Hawkins from The Canberra School of Government proposes that we can learn economics from Star Trek. Experimental psychology researcher Madison Williams reveals how teledildonics are changing the way we have sex with Internet-enabled orgasms. David has a weird fixation with Avatar. Timothy Schultz – host of podcast Lottery, Dreams, and Fortune – describes what it was really like to win a $28M lottery jackpot at age 21 while working at a gas station.
