And I had the opportunity to talk to Davy Brown. With women, any kind of thing where there might be this underlying edge of self-sacrifice as martyrdom, if you're never filling, you're telling yourself a story and you're actually avoiding what you should be doing. You got to get in. You got to get your hands dirty.

Are there any pictures of you online? Then you could already be in a massive police database without even knowing it. Clearview scrapes together images from Facebook, from LinkedIn, from Venmo accounts. I'm Dexter Thomas, host of Killswitch, a podcast about how living in the future is affecting us right now.

Police, they are trusting the software with this magical ability to lead them to the right suspects. In this episode, we dive into how cops are using AI and facial recognition and sometimes getting it wrong and putting innocent people behind bars. So if your accuser is this algorithm, but you're not even being told that it was used, let alone given any of the details about how it works.

82.193 - 93.662 Josh

Hey everybody, it's Josh, and for this week's Select, I've chosen our episode on sea monkeys that came out in March of 2018. Sea monkeys are one of those things that you just take for granted when you're a kid.

94.122 - 115.86 Josh

There's that one ad that was in every single issue of every single comic book, and for those of us lucky enough to mail off to get them, they became an even bigger part of your childhood when you got to watch them swim around in their cool little plastic tank. But sea monkeys have an even more amazing backstory than this, not just of toy fame, but also of intrigue, too. Hope you enjoy it.
