Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, Stuff You Should Know Guys, Discuss Dr. Diane Hamilton’s Book
I am a huge fan of Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant who do a podcast called Stuff You Should Know from HowStuffWorks.com. On a recent podcast, they mentioned my book, The Online Student’s User Manual. For those of you who have read my book, you may have noticed they wrote a nice review that I included on the back where they stated:
“Here’s something you should know—Dr. Hamilton has provided the most comprehensive ‘soup to nuts’ book about online education on the planet. It’s a real hand-holder to get you started, guide you to a degree and beyond into the workforce.” Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant “Stuff You Should Know” Podcast
I try to listen to all of their podcasts. They recently did an excellent one about octupuses (and yes, that is one way you can say it according to their report). I recommend listening to all of their podcasts though. They are extremely informative as well as fun and creative. You can hear the mention of my book at the 34:34 mark on one of their recent podcasts by clicking here.

Inventions: Good Intentions Gone Bad
In my entrepreneurial and foresight classes I teach, we often talk about how some seemingly wonderful or harmless inventions have unintended results. I often refer my students to a “Stuff You Should Know” podcast about Agent Orange. If you are creating a product or idea, have you considered all future consequences. I highly recommend reading Jacob Silverman’s article at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/agent-orange.htm.
