Astrophysicist Dr. Jesse Rogerson reveals a wild way to terraform the planet Mars. Technology expert Carmi Levy joins David on It's Time For Technology Time and covers stories: Tariff-related Nintendo Switch 2 delays; H&M using AI clones as models; Instagram requiring parental consent for kids to livestream; and more. Psychology researcher Dr. Leah Sharman explains how many young people mistakenly believe choking during sex can be done safely. Dr. Kerry Bowman describes how they've (kinda-sorta) brought back the dire wolf from extinction. Writer Gail Cornwall gives an overview of how her quaker parents were ahead of their time.
