Even if you’re not into wine, you’re gonna love this story about the most notorious con in wine history! Rudy Kurniawan, a young, virtually unknown twenty something from Indonesia, rose to become the leading purveyor of fine wines in a span of only six years. During that time, he sold tens of millions of dollars worth of wine to the American elite.  In time, however, discrepancies begin to appear and crates of Kurniawan’s fine wines are abruptly pulled from auction. It turns out that crates of Kurniawan’s fine wines up for auction are not even supposed to exist!  In this episode, I interview Peter Hellman who was present for these counterfeit discoveries and worked to investigate the case. Tune in to learn why wine is so ideal for counterfeiting, about Rudy Kurniawan’s methods for counterfeiting wines, why Rudy was so successful, and the outcome of his trial and sentencing.   Grab your copy of In Vino Duplicitas On IndieBound at: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781615194957?aff=theexperiment On Amazon at: ht

If you’re not from California, you may not know about the statewide treasure who is Huell Howser! For 22 years, Huell Howser shared California's history, cultural diversity, natural wonders, and amazing denizens through his travel tv shows, "California's Gold" and “Visiting.”  Born in Tennessee with a prominent southern accent, Huell was an unlikely spokesperson for California. But his unwavering enthusiasm and genuine curiosity gave us episodes featuring dryer lint artwork, age-old soda, an oversized 3-foot goldfish, among countless others. In this episode, I got to visit the California’s Gold Exhibit and the Huell Howser Archives in Orange, CA. I spoke to John Carlo Encarnacion, the archives technician, and learned all about Huell Howser, his life, his work ethic, and his legacy. This was a special treat and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!   Check out my tour of the California’s Gold Exhibit with John at https://youtu.be/cvmkuANwUz0 Learn more about the Huell Howser Archives at https://blogs.chapman.e

Las Vegas has gone through some phases. It started out as the Wild West, with saloon doors and wagon wheels. Then it decked itself out in midcentury modern sleekness, and moved on to twenty-story high neon signs. Then came Disney-like theme parks featuring castles and pirates, followed by replicas of Venetian canals, New York skyscrapers, and the Eiffel Tower. More recently, the Strip decided to get classy, with casinos designed by famous architects and zillion-dollar collections of art. Join Stefan Al and myself in this episode as he shares the wonderful history of Las Vegas architecture! We talk about the different Vegas eras, how feverish competition fueled this story, and how the strip not only reflected trends but also magnified them and sometimes even initiated them.   Visit Stefan on his site at https://www.stefanal.com/ And grab your copy of his book, The Strip: Las Vegas and the Architecture of the American Dream, at https://www.stefanal.com/the-strip   Connect with Curiosityness...

Randy’s Donuts has been an LA icon for nearly 60 years! You know it, it’s the building with the giant doughnut on top featured in countless movies, music videos, and television, such as Arrested Development, Crocodile Dundee, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Californication” music video.

Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to? In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail―human-level intelligence. Once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine.   Grab your copy of James' book, Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era, on Amazon at https://amzn.to/33Tbewm Visit http://www.jamesbarrat.com to learn more and connect with James Learn about and support AI advocacy at https://futureoflife.org and https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk and https://intelligence.org   Connect with Curiosityness...

Electric guitars have been around since the 1930’s but had some serious drawbacks including their inability to get very loud. Both Leo Fender and Les Paul strived to achieve louder sounds which paved the way for new music styles including rock ’n’ roll. Leo Fender was a quiet, half-blind, self-taught radio repairman motivated by his curiosity and requests from local musicians. Les Paul was a brilliant but headstrong pop star and guitarist who spent years toying with new musical technologies for himself. Their contest empowered the most inventive musicians of the 1950s and 1960s—including Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton— with a vibrancy and volume never before attainable.   Grab your copy of The Birth of Loud: Leo Fender, Les Paul, and the Guitar-Pioneering Rivalry That Shaped Rock 'n' Roll on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2KzulUC And visit Ian’s website at https://www.iansmithport.com Find Ian on Twitter: https://twitter.com/iPORT And on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iansm

John Oller, a former Wall Street lawyer, tells the story of a new type of “White Shoe” lawyer. These lawyers were architects of the monopolistic new corporations so despised by many, and acted as guardians who helped the kings of industry fend off government overreaching. Yet they also quietly steered their robber baron clients away from a “public be damned” attitude toward more enlightened corporate behavior during a period of progressive, turbulent change in America.

In Episode 051, I interviewed a hunter and asked him if it’s ethical to hunt. So I thought it’d only be fair if I asked the same question of someone who is against sport hunting.  Anne Muller of The Committee To Abolish Sport Hunting (CASH) was kind enough to come on the show and share some of her thoughts and perspective on the ethics of hunting. Anne has some enlightening information to share which I think you’ll find very interesting.  So be sure to check out episode 051 along with this episode to get a fascinating insight into both viewpoints to make an informed decision for yourself!
