In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Sun Gazing for Better Vision 30:47

לפני 4 ימים30:47

30:47

Send us a text I did something reckless. No, I didn’t stare at the sun—but I did go deep into the bizarre world of sun gazing, where people genuinely believe that frying their eyeballs is the key to unlocking hidden energy, healing their bodies, and maybe even gaining superpowers. Spoiler: It’s not. In this episode, I break down why people believe in pseudoscience, how even smart people (including me) have fallen for it, and why bad science is sometimes just as dangerous as fake science. We’ll also play a fun little game I call “What Actually Happens When You Stare at the Sun?” (Hint: It doesn’t end well.) If you’ve ever wondered why people believe in obviously bad ideas, how pseudoscience hijacks logic, and what makes something real science vs. garbage in a lab coat, this episode is for you. And if you’re thinking about trying sun gazing? Save yourself a trip to the ophthalmologist and just listen to this instead.…

The Truth About Medieval Alchemy 26:54

לפני 11 ימים26:54

26:54

Send us a text In this week’s episode, Jimmy dives into the bizarre and captivating world of medieval alchemy, inspired by a cryptic fortune cookie that sent him spiraling down a rabbit hole of lead, gold, and questionable experiments. Joined by Alex Carter, a curator and archivist with a love for ancient technologies, the two unravel the mysteries of alchemy, from its philosophical roots to its wildest (and most absurd) experiments. Together, they explore how alchemists believed in transforming not just metals but also themselves, blending science, mysticism, and a heavy dose of optimism. Jimmy and Alex also dig into alchemy’s surprising legacy, showing how it laid the groundwork for modern science while reminding us why skepticism is essential for progress. With Jimmy’s signature blend of humor and curiosity and Alex’s deep knowledge (and chaotic energy), this episode is a chaotic alchemical concoction you won’t want to miss. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the enlightenment, and maybe learn why mixing mercury with ambition can be a recipe for both disaster and discovery.…

With plenty of laughs, a dash of introspection, and more than a few lessons about problem-solving with style, this episode reminds us that creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about having the courage to try.…
