Don't you always want to be the
best you can be. The Frankie Boyer

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.919
Show it's more than a lifestyle show. It's a show about living in today's

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.160
world. I think something is happening. Frankie enthusiastically brings an amazing, eclectic

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.120
mix to the airwaves. One of
the reasons she's earned legions of loyal fans

5
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.640
is very simple. When you listen
to The Frankie Boyer Show, you just

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:29.760
never know what's going to happen.
So listen for yourself. Here is Frankie

7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.840
Boyer and welcome, Welcome, Welcome, it is Frankie Boyer. Well for

8
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:46.560
many of you, for many of
you, you are all aware of this

9
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:57.119
fabulous podcast. It's called it's called
Greeking Out and it is epic retellings of

10
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.760
classic Greek myths and it is from
the creators of National Geographic Kids. The

11
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:12.120
wildly successful Greeking Out podcast has been
I have to ask both Kenny and Jillian

12
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.359
they're with us today. Kenny,
you've you've had more than thirty years in

13
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.840
children's programming as a performer, writer, producer, one of the creators of

14
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.640
National Geographic Kids Greeking Out podcast,
which you're hosting co write alongside your daughter,

15
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.159
Jillian Hughes and she's with us today. And Jillian, you're a professional

16
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.280
writer with your heart in the kids
and family industry. But did you guys

17
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:49.280
realize when you were doing this it
would be so hugely successful. I don't

18
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.040
know, Jill, I don't know
if you had any thoughts about whether or

19
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.000
not it would be successful. I
was thrilled that it has gotten through the

20
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.599
stage where we have a book.
I was happy that the podcast successful.

21
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.719
But you never really know, you
know, you never you're never really sure

22
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.760
what's going to strike a chord with
kids and families. Yeah, we had

23
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.080
no idea it was going to be
this popular and take off the way that

24
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.919
it has. So it's been great
to experience. Oh I bet i bet

25
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.840
okay. So tell us about the
concept where it came from, Julian,

26
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.120
you go first, Okay, Well, it's kind of a roundabout story.

27
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:35.680
So the podcast, the Greeking Out
podcast was actually inspired by another book called

28
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:40.479
Zeus the Mighty, which is also
published by National Geographic Kids by Kristen Boyer.

29
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.360
And in that book, it was
a book about animals a pet shop

30
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:52.840
and they were listening to a podcast
called Greeking Out that talked about Greek mythology

31
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.639
and it sort of made these animals
kind of believe that they were the great

32
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.000
gods. And in sort of like
a marketing emotional idea, Becky Baines and

33
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.120
some other people at National Geographic Kids
thought it would be funny to actually make

34
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.960
that podcast, the Greeking Out Podcast, as a way to promote that book,

35
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.199
because this is the mighty book.
So we were brought on to make

36
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.400
this podcast, and the podcast kind
of took on a life of its own

37
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.840
and became very popular and really resonated
with a lot of people. And because

38
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.960
the podcast was so popular, they
decided to turn into a book. So

39
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.400
this is the book that was inspired
by the podcast that was inspired by the

40
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.439
book. Did I get that right? Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah,

41
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.280
you nailed it. That's basically the
whole story in a nutshell. It

42
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.159
started as a as a book and
then became a podcast and now a book.

43
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.840
So how how is it writing the
book after you've already have done the

44
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.080
podcast, after you've already done the
podcast? You know, it's interesting?

45
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.520
I'm sorry, go ahead, Joe, You're good. Yeah, it is

46
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.960
interesting, it is it? We
really tried very hard to make sure that

47
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.639
the tone of the podcast was carried
over into the of the book and for

48
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.520
listeners of the podcast to really feel
like this was, you know, an

49
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.039
add on, a tie in that
it felt universal to them. But then

50
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.439
at the same time, we wanted
new readers who may not have listened to

51
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.079
the podcast, who had no idea
about freaking out, to really relate to

52
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.519
and resonate with the book. So
it was kind of a challenge to merge

53
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:27.680
those two creative things together and make
sure that it appealed to new readers a

54
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.079
new audience, while also staying true
to the to the tone and the comedy

55
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.399
that we're known for in the podcast. Right, Henny, what's it been

56
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.800
like for you work working on this
project with your daughter? He loved it.

57
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.600
That is a correct answer. It
is rewarding in a way that nothing

58
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:55.199
else could be rewarding. I tell
you it is. You know, you're

59
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.279
you're equally proud and yet at the
same time, your uh sort of worried,

60
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.680
like, you know, I don't
what have I gotten my daughter into

61
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.879
here? You know what I mean? Is this? You know, kids

62
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.560
programming is you know, is a
crazy business where at the you know,

63
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.759
you don't get a whole lot of
props for doing kids shows and things like

64
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.800
that. And I've been in the
kids industry for a long time, and

65
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:20.079
so I was thrilled when Jillian wanted
to do it, and really she was

66
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.360
kind of the only person who could
because what happened was, you know,

67
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.920
I you know, I do three
or four different things. I work for

68
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.439
another podcasting company called tinker Cast.
I'm their head writer. I still host

69
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.879
a show on the kid's channel on
Serious XM. So I'm moving in a

70
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.040
lot of different directions that we needed
scripting, somebody to script for me.

71
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.480
But you know, the first couple
of episodes were written with such a distinct

72
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.639
narrative voice. You know, we're
taking these classic Greek mythological tales and putting

73
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.040
them into contemporary prins and terms and
and cleaning them up for kids and families.

74
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.839
And I remember Jillian saying, I'm
really worried that I won't be able

75
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.839
to write this way, like right
like dad. And then she sat down

76
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:01.240
and she was like, oh,
actually, this is totally fine. I

77
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.639
can totally do this and failed it, and you know, so it was

78
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.920
It's really been a brilliant working process
I've heard his boy with my whole life,

79
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.480
so I've got it down at this
pot, I was gonna say absolutely,

80
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.920
absolutely okay, And the apple didn't
fall far from the tree quite honestly,

81
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.279
Kenny, it really didn't. Yeah, you're not wrong about that death.

82
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.839
How do you find the stories?
That's the question I wonder is that

83
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.120
how do you even know which which
myths to tackle? That is a tough

84
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.279
one. I mean, that is
that is really the tricky thing. We

85
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.560
have an amazing producer. Her name
is Emily Everhart, which might be the

86
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.759
best name for a producer. Ever
Yeah, really she is. She's a

87
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.279
now with Disney, she was with
nat GEO for forever, and she's a

88
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.079
She's absolutely passionate about this subject matter. And you know, as a kid,

89
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.680
I grew up reading the Edith Hamilton
books, and you know, I

90
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.759
was a B and D NERD,
so I knew more than a bit about

91
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.120
this. But really, by the
time we got this season too, I

92
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
had kind of exhausted everything I knew. We were lucky enough to be partnered

93
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.680
with National Geographic and they have a
wealth of experts that they reach out to.

94
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.120
The lady named Diane Klein, doctor, doctor Diane Klein from American University,

95
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.480
and she's a classical studies professor and
she with a with a focus in

96
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.079
Greek mythology and Greek culture. So
she really shepherded us through the first Caught

97
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:28.199
three or four seasons and really get
helped us identify a bunch of different myths

98
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.360
and more importantly, the different versions
of each myth, because the same story

99
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.879
can be told in two or three
different ways. We discovered this about the

100
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.839
Odyssey and the Iliot, the story
of the Trojan War, about how there

101
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.160
are three there are several different verds
that whether you're just spending depending upon whether

102
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.879
you're going with Homer or whether you're
going with Hessy, and just those two

103
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.639
guys right there have different interpretations of
in a different story. So there's a

104
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:55.399
lot of different versions of myths.
But we also are getting into international myths

105
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.639
that aren't Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Mesopota Amien. We have some some

106
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.399
Filipino myth that we're getting into in
this current season of Breaking Out, and

107
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.800
it's really it's amazing and it's very
well received by our audience. We love

108
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:16.120
that we're not just sticking in ancient
Greece. Yeah, yeah, tell us

109
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.079
give us an example of how one
of the myths would be talked about it

110
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.600
if you could. I'm sorry,
meaning like how we would change a myth,

111
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.639
or how do you change the myth? Yeah? Do do? Achilles?

112
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.120
Heel? Okay? So so the
Achilles is a perfect one. That

113
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.200
that's a perfect example the I mean
Achilles wedding, right, Achilles parents and

114
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.679
Jill, I'm gonna need you to
to I'm gonna punt this to you because

115
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.759
I remember you wrote this one and
if I get it wrong, they're gonna

116
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.360
have to correct me. But achilles
mom mother was a senymph, an immortal

117
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.919
goddess, and Ahilli achilles father was
Peleus, a king, And it was

118
00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:00.799
their wedding that actually started the whole
discord of the of the Trojan War because

119
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.519
at their wedding there was the only
goddess that wasn't invited was a lady named

120
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.840
Eris, who is the goddess of
discord, because who wants to invite her

121
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.960
to a wedding? Really, let's
be honest, you don't want you don't

122
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.919
want to. There's enough weirdness in
a wedding. But so she's mad.

123
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.399
She shows up anyway and she takes
this golden apple and writes to the fairest

124
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.799
on the apple and throws it in
the middle of the party, and of

125
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.840
course Aphrodite and Athena and Hera all
think it's for them and they argue over

126
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.360
it. So they go to Zeus
and Zeus says, oh, no,

127
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.639
I'm not gonna pick, So he
picks this random shepherd to choose, and

128
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.919
that random shepherd actually turns out to
be Paris, the Prince of Troy,

129
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:39.000
and he chooses Aphrodite, and Aphrodite
says to him, I'm giving you as

130
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.399
a reward, I give you your
choice of the most beautiful woman in the

131
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.519
world. Well, later on in
life, he meets Helen, Helen of

132
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.320
Sparta, chooses her Aphrodite, makes
her fall in love with her. He

133
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.440
takes her home to Troy, and
that's what starts the Trojan War. Those

134
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.759
the wedding, Those the husband and
wife in that wedding were achilles parents,

135
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.639
right, Joe, Yeah, that
right, yes, okay, so that

136
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.720
their first child was Achilles, and
achilles mom was pretty paranoid about him being

137
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.559
immortal, right Jill, Yeah,
that was me handing it off to you,

138
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.720
Okay, Yeah, honest, My
head over here, like you're doing

139
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.799
great, doing great. Yeah,
so she was worried about that. She

140
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.960
actually took him to the River six, the famous you know river and the

141
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.320
underworld. Hold on hold that thought, guys, I didn't realize. We're

142
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.600
getting engrossed in the conversation. We
have to take a quick break. Tell

143
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.919
everybody how they can find out more
about you, the new book and all

144
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.720
of that, and we'll come right
back with Jill and Kenny. Go ahead

the way, Kenny Curtis, how can

151
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.000
people find the new book, Well, you can get it anywhere you want.

152
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.440
Amazon of course has it for sale, but I always love if you

153
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.039
can go into a brick and mortar
book store. Do that. It's National

154
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.840
Geographic Kids distributed, so it should
be in most places. And it is

155
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.960
called Greeking Out Epic Retellings of Classic
Greek Myths, and it's based on the

156
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.879
podcast of the same name. So
it's a beautiful hardcover book with amazing illustrations

157
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.200
by Heavy Ears. Oh I bet
you guys always do great Yeah, you

158
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.799
guys always do great job. So, as I'm listening to both of you

159
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:58.440
retelling and listening to these stories,
can you all understand why we need these

160
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.759
Greek myths in our lives because they're
they're just so fascinating. The names alone,

161
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.799
and the and the telling of the
stories. Totally agree. I think

162
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.039
it's they're more relevant now in some
ways than they were. Well, I

163
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.360
won't say they're more, they're as
relevant now as they were when they were

164
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.480
told. I mean, these are
this these are the stories you know,

165
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.440
upon which all other stories have been
based. But it's also human beings trying

166
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.200
to make sense of the world around
them. It's what we always tell the

167
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.080
kids that these myths were how early
cultures explained the world and justified the world.

168
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.600
The coolest thing I think about Greek
myths is that the gods themselves were

169
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.919
not perfect. They were not this
benevolent all powerful ally they were mean,

170
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.159
they were mean, they were jealous, they were petty, they're respiteful,

171
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.440
and sometimes they did things the human
beings just because they could, and that

172
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.480
I think sort of help make sense
for why life and the world sometimes can

173
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.279
be so unfair, especially if you're
living in ancient Greece, especially if Yeah,

174
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.360
we've tried to make that kids think
really critically about these myths too,

175
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.639
and the book after each myth there's
a little like takeaway section that sort of

176
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.440
talks about the moral or the reason
we wrote this story, And a theme

177
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.639
that kept coming up was, you
know, not rebelling against authority, like

178
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.200
kind of sticking with the status quo. A lot of these myths encouraged people

179
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.399
to to just be happy with where
they were, and when they did try

180
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.159
to rise up, they would be
punished by the gods. So we're trying

181
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.600
to get kids to kind of think
about, well, why is that,

182
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.559
Like why didn't they want them to
challenge them or to question and just sort

183
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.919
of encouraging kids to really think about
this critically and to understand the reason some

184
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.519
of these myths were told. We're
kind of to keep things, keep the

185
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.519
status quo, keep people from rocking
the boat. So there's kind of like

186
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.919
a deeper meeting under a lot of
them too. So how do you deal

187
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.519
with the pronunciations? How do you
how do you teach kids how to pronounce

188
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.200
these words? Kenny? Oh,
so that is that is always a trick.

189
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.000
In fact, the beautiful thing about
a podcast is that we can say

190
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.519
them and say them wrong. I
have a sidekick that Julian scripts the Oracle

191
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:31.000
of Wi Fi, who is a
bit like It was sort of inspired by

192
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.240
the idea that in all the geo
kids books, there's all these facts in

193
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.559
the margins. Uh. But in
the Zeus the Mighty book series, the

194
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.840
Oracle of Wi Fi is what they
called the thing that they listened to podcast

195
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.279
on. So it became a character
in the book. And I if I

196
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.399
say a name, if I say
a Greek name wrong, it will correct

197
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.679
me. She will correct me repeatedly, and thankfully our experts that we have

198
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.320
through National Geographic really help keep us
grounded. There are many different ways to

199
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.200
say some of the ancient Greek names, depending upon whether you want to use

200
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.039
the hard the k version of the
hard to see or not. Searcy the

201
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.679
Wizard the Sorceress could renounced Kirky.
You could say it kirky, but it

202
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:18.279
has become so colloquialized as Sarcy that
most people say Sarcy, and that has

203
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.840
become acceptable. The one thing that
isn't is Hercules over Heracles. You've got

204
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.399
to call him Heracles because his name
Heracles means because of Hera, which is

205
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.039
the whole reason he has all of
the trouble in his life and all his

206
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.080
trials and his twelve labors. So
we actually have kind of a recurring bit

207
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.559
on the podcast in which I am
frequently saying Hercules instead of Heracles and getting

208
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.440
corrected. I love it. I
love it. And Julian, you were

209
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:54.399
finishing our story of Achilles Heels.
Yeah, yeah, So Kenny was talking

210
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.519
about the wedding of achilles parents and
sort of that's the very popular story of

211
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.720
how the Trojan War got started because
of this apple in this fight over who

212
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.039
was, you know, the most
beautiful goddess. But what we kind of

213
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:14.519
do is also tell the story of
his parents, the backstory and his mother

214
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:22.480
sadus to kill. His mother was
very word about Achilles because he wasn't immortal

215
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.240
because he had immortal father. So
when he was a baby, she took

216
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.000
him to the river stick, which
was the most famous river in the underworld

217
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.440
that you can kind of see seed
depicted in the media as having like the

218
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.480
dead ghosts and the soles all floating
out of it. But well known fact,

219
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.399
if you swim in the river stix
or immerse your body, you will

220
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.120
become immortal. So Fetus grabbed Achilles
and took him down there and held him

221
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.600
by his heel and dipped him in
the river to make him become immortal.

222
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.559
And she was almost finished summer him
in, but then she was caught by

223
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.920
her husband Pelias, who was like, what are you doing with our baby?

224
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:10.519
Why are you dipping him in just
creepy river here? And she was

225
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.680
trying to explain that she was making
memortal, but he wasn't buying it,

226
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.960
so he suck Achilles away. And
that is why Achilles is basically invincible and

227
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.440
only has one weak spot, which
of course is his heel. This is

228
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.599
he and JADUs was kind of paranoid
her whole life that that heel would be

229
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.240
the reason, that that would be
the reason for his downfall. And you

230
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.359
know, she was right. A
mother always knows best, A mother always

231
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.640
knows best. How how true is
that? What I also love about the

232
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:42.880
book is eat like the Greeks tell
us about that, because that's so much

233
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.920
great interstitial parts of this book.
Jillians put a lot of them together.

234
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.599
But the folks from National Geographic this
is there. This is what they do.

235
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.839
This is there. Yeah, I
say bread and butter if we're going

236
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.440
to keep the eat like the Greeks
being going. But this is really what

237
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:04.079
they do. They provide you with
con temporary information that puts the information in

238
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.880
the book in context for kids and
families, and that's what Not to Your

239
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.240
Kids has been doing for decades.
So this is really where we were excited

240
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.880
about the partnership, because you know, we didn't do a whole lot a

241
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.160
deep dive into olives or any of
that kind of stuff, but they have

242
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.720
people on staff that research this stuff
and that know this stuff. But what

243
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.119
we really liked was the other some
of the other interstitials as well, about

244
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.240
the different kinds of monsters and the
different adventurers and things like that, because

245
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:38.160
there's so much information and so many
side stories and great dare I say,

246
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:45.000
cameo appearances of characters in these myths
that you can't get to all of them,

247
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.720
so to be able to put them
in that kind of an interstitial format

248
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.640
is really fun and it's really a
joy for the illustrator as well. Oh

249
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.079
I bet, I bet, this
has been so fun. Honestly, I

250
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:02.240
have to say I'm impressed with both
of you and this is such a great

251
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.119
what a rich, wonderful book and
podcast to a company and give out the

252
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.680
website and how people can find out
more. Well, thank you so much,

253
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.279
Frankie. You guys have been great. The book is called Greeking Out

254
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.079
Epic Retellings of Classic Greek Myths,
and you can get it wherever you get

255
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.680
your favorite books. The podcast is
called National Geographic Kids Greeking Out, and

256
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.680
wherever you get your favorite flavor of
podcast, that's where you can go to

257
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.000
stream that. It's a great fun
thing to stream with kids and families.

258
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.880
And we are hard at work on
a new season of that, so we

259
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:41.079
are. We can't waiting to congratulations
guys, so fun talking with you.

260
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.920
We have to take a quick break
and we'll be back in just a moment.

261
00:19:44.000 --> 00:20:17.839
This is Frankie Boyer's Stay tuned and
welcome back. It is Frankie Boyer

262
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.720
and joining us now as Benjamin Huen, who obtained his undergraduate and graduate degrees

263
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:30.920
from the University of Cambridge in England. He became the first editor of Nature

264
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:37.240
New Biology in nineteen seventy one,
then worked at the National Cancer Institute from

265
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.640
nineteen seventy two to nineteen seventy three. He founded Cell Journal in Cambridge right

266
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:52.079
here in Massachusetts, and in nineteen
nineteen seventy four renamed editor of Cell until

267
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.759
he remained the editor of Cell until
nineteen ninety nine. Cell became the top

268
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.039
ranked journal in the life science and
Doctor Lewin is also the author of the

269
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.920
best selling Jeans textbook and a series
of books on wine. And he divides

270
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.079
his time between New York and London. And we are thrilled to have you

271
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:19.599
with us today and your new book
is out Inside Science, Revolution in Biology

272
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:26.799
and its impact. My goodness,
you've had such a stellar and incredible career.

273
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.640
Where so thrilled you're with us today
and honored doctor, thank you so

274
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:45.480
for centuries now you say that the
human has been driven by intellect, But

275
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:53.400
but will science look like this with
AI now on the burner, it may

276
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:59.839
change. AI has got a lot
of potential because it can synthesize very large

277
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:04.480
amounts of data much more effectively than
human intuition or analysis. But it's worrying

278
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:10.640
because it undercuts one of the basic
principles in science. That's that you publish

279
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.519
your results in such a way that
other scientists can understand how you did the

280
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.880
work and they can repeat them if
they want to. But when you use

281
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.720
an AI program, even the people
who created the program may not really completely

282
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.920
understand how it works. You know, it's artificial intelligence. It is doing

283
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:32.960
its own thing. So if we
don't understand how it works, how can

284
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.079
we validate the results. That is
a real concern as to whether it would

285
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.119
change the nature of science. Already, there have been some cases in which

286
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:48.000
AI has been used to analyze data
and the results have been accepted because basically

287
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.799
it's an AI algorithm and it's as
human to be correct. But if a

288
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.400
realized person had gone through the same
steps and explained what they had done and

289
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.400
got to the same conclusion, it
might have been questioned more. So.

290
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.319
I think this tendency to accept things
more easily because it's AI and it's a

291
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:11.200
sort of black box, that's a
bit worrying. It is, and we've

292
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:17.200
been talking a lot lately about AI
on the show and I have to ask

293
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:23.759
a questions. We have made so
many advances in the world of cancer,

294
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:33.680
so many extraordinary advances. Why don't
you think AI has the ability to finally

295
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:41.359
take it to the next level.
Do you think it will help? But

296
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:48.720
it won't be a solution by itself. For one thing, the notion of

297
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.200
curing cancer is a little bit simplified
because there isn't one cancer. There are

298
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:59.960
many different cancers there. So you
can get some information from AI for its

299
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.000
example, now that we have human
genome sequences available on a large scale,

300
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.279
we can look at those sequences and
say, well, is there some common

301
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:14.119
factor or factors that relate people who
have a particular cancer. That's very useful,

302
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:19.279
perhaps potentially as a diagnostic, but
isn't going to go the next step

303
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:25.319
of saying what we should try to
do to cure it? Is so and

304
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:30.720
so for that we still need human
intuition. So far, AI has proved

305
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:37.119
quite interesting in analyzing results, but
it hasn't, as far as I know,

306
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.079
actually suggested an experiment yet which would
go and find a new important result

307
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:48.160
and to cure cancer, or to
cure individual cancers. We basically need breakthroughs

308
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.319
on a one by one basis.
I don't know that AI is going to

309
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:53.640
be able to do that for us. It may help, may help point

310
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.680
us in the right direction to look, but I think we're still going to

311
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.799
need people, individual scientists to do
that, at least given the present state

312
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:10.920
of AI. I'm grateful that that
we still need scientists and doctors to do

313
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:18.519
that. What about taking the information
so that when we look at different parts

314
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:23.559
of the country and we see the
cancer raids are spite, could AI be

315
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:32.519
used to find out the common denominators, what's going on and why? Could

316
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:40.519
could that help environmental where it would
be very effective? But there's an interesting

317
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.480
precedent here. A few years back, Google introduced a featurical Google Flu Trends,

318
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:51.759
which analyzed the occurrence of flu in
different parts of the country. Very

319
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.440
comfortable to what you were just saying
about cancer, and it did it not

320
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.839
by looking for symptoms of people who
have flu, but for looking at searches

321
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.720
on Google. You know, when
certain terms were used that was associated with

322
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:11.759
flu being being dominant in the area. So for a couple of years this

323
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.960
worked very well. It was very
good at predicting whether the next flu epidemic

324
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.240
was going to occur, and then
for the next two or three years it

325
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.039
didn't do very well. And the
traditional means that the CDC and people like

326
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.599
that use did much better. So
the answer is it's really hard to be

327
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.559
sure. It looked very promising,
it looked like a completely new way of

328
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.960
analyzing an epidemic and in this particular
case, an infectious disease, but in

329
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.559
the end it didn't work very well. And I don't think we know whether

330
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:47.440
it didn't work very well because there
was some basic missdesign in the system or

331
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.160
just because the algorithm needed more tweaking. So in the same way, if

332
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.799
we try to use it to analyze
cancer, it might work, it might

333
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:59.640
not work, but it's really difficult
to know why. I think you have

334
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.759
to be cautious about this because if
you get the wrong results, it could

335
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:10.680
be quite damaging. I absolutely agree
with you and with all of your years

336
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:17.640
of experience, and I know that
Susan Love, the late Susan Love,

337
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:23.039
and it saddens me that she died
ironically from a rear form of cancer.

338
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:33.119
But the breast research that she did
in her life, she was so frustrated

339
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:40.880
because there was no cure for breast
cancer and that The Pink Ribbon campaign kept

340
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.440
going on and on, and she
often asked the question, where's the money

341
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:53.680
going. The research that is needed
takes so much money and so much time,

342
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.599
and I just was hoping that,
because you're so brilliant and you cut

343
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:07.720
through you and you're so eloquent about
ourselves, is there any way that you

344
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:15.160
think in the next ten years we
might be able to shortcut some some of

345
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:21.880
the tedious work that needs to be
done for cancer, especially breast cancer.

346
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.759
It's very hard to predict. One
of the characteristics of science is that you

347
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.839
can't predict what's coming next. And
this is why something like I don't know

348
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.400
if remember President Nixon's War on cancer
many many years ago. Yes, but

349
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:41.720
this type of approach tends not to
be very effective because finding a cure for

350
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.799
breast cancer or for any other cancer
probably depends on some discovery that we haven't

351
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:51.079
made yet, and we don't know
where that discovery is going to come from.

352
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.680
It may not come from people working
on cancer research at all. It

353
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.759
may come from some other area quite
distant from cancer. Could be something you

354
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:03.400
do with cell biology, it could
be somebody's doing lecular biology, could even

355
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.759
be a discovery in bacteria. So
my point about sciences you just have to

356
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.720
support science as a whole because you
never know what consequences are going to come

357
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:18.039
from some observation, and you cannot
predict what observation you need to make to

358
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:23.319
get to some particular target, like
curing a cancer or some other infectious disease.

359
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.759
You just have to I mean,
obviously you can put money into areas

360
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.200
that look promising, but no guarantee
that that is actually where the breaks is

361
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:38.000
going to come from. May come
from somewhere else quite different. Insight Inside

362
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.799
Science is your new book, Revolution
in Biology and its Impact, And Doctor

363
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:48.640
Benjamin Lewin, when an honor and
a pleasure to talk with you today.

364
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.799
This has been so great And how
long did it take you? I just

365
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.279
have to ask how long it took
to write this book? About a year

366
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.680
because it has been in my head
for quite a long time before that,

367
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.960
and so once I started writing,
it came together really quite quickly. Oh

368
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.720
I'm well. We're so thrilled and
thrilled that you were able to come on

369
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.359
and talk with us today. Thank
you so much, and give us the

370
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.519
best website on how people can find
out more about you and the work that

371
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.960
you're doing, doctor Benjamin Lewin.
Well, the book, of course is

372
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.559
available on Amazon and in bookshops.
I have a website which deals with my

373
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.440
writings on wine, which is called
wine specific dot com, and I haven't

374
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.480
yet set up one for science.
All right, is this going to be

375
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:41.319
a good year for wine? Well, it's been rather hot, so you

376
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:47.599
know we'll be too powerful. We'll
see, yea. It's like science,

377
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.240
you never know till it's over.
We'll have to have you on just to

378
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.680
talk about the wine. Thank you
so much, doctor, and we'll take

379
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.880
a quick break and be right back. This is Frankie boy your stay tuned.

380
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:19.599
Thank you, and welcome back.
It is Frankie Boyer and joining us

381
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:27.559
once again Matt Blashaw, HGTV Star
real Estate and building expert. Matt,

382
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:33.200
welcome, welcome back. It's always
hey, frank you thanks for having me.

383
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.960
Always a pleasure. Oh no,
it's our pleasure. You know.

384
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.240
It seems that losing power during,
during, or after a severe weather event

385
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:51.720
has become the norm now, and
those power outages are lasting longer than you

386
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:59.759
know one can ever imagine. So
this is national prepared preparedness in a month,

387
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:07.200
and this is a good time for
homeowners to consider a more diverse energy

388
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.920
mix. So what do you have
in mind? Yes, you know,

389
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:16.319
I had a heaping dose of reality
when I moved from California, which had

390
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.440
rolling blackouts, and you know,
we had it wasn't you know, it

391
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:23.640
wasn't That was the last for a
couple hours. And then I came to

392
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:29.359
Kansas City where I lived now,
and we had an EF zero tornado,

393
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.240
which is still scary, and all
of I mean, the trees were down,

394
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.720
power was out, and for three
days we did not have power.

395
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:43.440
And I'm a guy that has built
homes for years and I can fix anything.

396
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.119
I'm like mister Candy around the house. I could, I couldn't put

397
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:49.880
the power back on. I didn't
know what to do. I was almost

398
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.160
oh, I mean I was,
I was. I was in a panic

399
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:59.119
mode. And it just made me
realized, we need an emergency plan.

400
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:04.000
We need something that I don't have
to worry about because there's so many of

401
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.680
the things to worry about. Oh
my god, yes, absolutely absolutely,

402
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:15.279
So tell me what can we do? Seriously, what are the options?

403
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.559
So, I mean, I recommend
a propane powered backup generator, you know,

404
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.880
the reliable, versatile, and and
and where do you start with that?

405
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.920
Okay, you can go to propane
dot com forward slash you know for

406
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.880
my home that that is going to
be a great resource for you. Call

407
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.559
your license electrician. He's going to
be able to to you know, find

408
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.319
the right size for you. He'll
even recommend a good generator. And it's

409
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.160
not life is normal, Frankie with
a generator, right, you don't.

410
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:47.039
Everything doesn't turn back on that generator
is size just for the elements that you

411
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:52.039
need. And these are things like
the refrigerator, the freezer. This is

412
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:58.279
like your alarm system, security for
medical devices for some people, you know.

413
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.599
So it's if you know, these
are things that you know, we

414
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.960
don't think about until we lose them
and then absolutely and I think for some

415
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.199
insulin needs to be refrigerated, you
know, little things like that that we

416
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:14.159
don't always think about. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's and for

417
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:15.920
how long? Right? And that's
the the uncertainty is what I want to

418
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:21.119
kind of take out of the equation. The propane service provider that's going to

419
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.440
power you know, give you the
propane for the unit. They'll be able

420
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:29.719
to size the appropriate tank for you. And you know, I gotta tell

421
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.639
you when we were, you know, out of power. My street was

422
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.039
littered with trees. I could not
get my truck out of there, so

423
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.000
I couldn't go down and get gas. I couldn't, you know, there's

424
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:43.679
no way. And I tried to
give you a generator. They were triple

425
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:47.840
the price. I couldn't find one. So that propane is right there when

426
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.760
you need it, right and that
it's not just a little tiny, little,

427
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.360
you know, canister that we think
about with barbecues. These are huge

428
00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:00.480
tanks that you can have that are
very very safe, stored on property.

429
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:06.280
And even these transfer switches that they
have with the generator now are fantastic,

430
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.519
meaning that when the power goes out, the transfer switch realizes that it's out,

431
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:14.920
it switches right over, turns on
your generator and starts powering it.

432
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.440
You don't have to go out into
the elements. Such a great thing for

433
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:22.400
the home. Oh my gosh,
is it ever? And I have to

434
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.960
tell you we had a really bad
I live in in Boston right and downtown

435
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:34.000
Boston on the harbor, and we
had the remnants of the hurricane that came

436
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:39.199
up the coast and the winds,
Oh my goodness, the winds were just

437
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:49.280
crazy, really crazy, and the
debris everywhere from falling and objects just blowing

438
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.039
all over the city. And you
know, I'm fortunate I'm in an apartment

439
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:59.239
building, but for many that have
a home, they were not so fortunate.

440
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.920
And those winds really did severe damage
and cause the trees to fall down.

441
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.400
You know, it's just like this
ripple effect, Matt. Yeah.

442
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.400
And and and to kind of piggyback
on that, you know, my wife

443
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.559
she thinks I'm nuts because you know, we have so many trees around,

444
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.199
you know, our neighborhood, and
no one trims them, no one limbs

445
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:24.039
them, because I know that they
love the shape, right, it's fantastic.

446
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.039
But if you have a big limb
that's sitting over your power line,

447
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:34.639
sitting over your house, sitting over
your car, those trees, the leaves

448
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.440
on those branches, that's that's a
giant sail, right. So the more

449
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.920
resistance that it has, the more
that that branch is gonna you know,

450
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.599
it just can't take it. It's
going to snap off. So you know,

451
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.400
consider one of those items to do
is to go around and limb your

452
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.159
trees, you know, cut your
trees, and you know, to cut

453
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.800
it down just just you know,
just make sure that they're nice. Yeah

454
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.840
yeah, just trim and take much
because we have that same thing. We

455
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:02.320
had eighty mile on our winds just
like three weeks ago, and trees were

456
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:07.440
full. I mean it was just
incredible because no one lives their trees.

457
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.840
So you know, not that much. You can do it yourself. Make

458
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.000
sure you take care of that before
the winter buns. Oh absolutely, you

459
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.480
know, Matt, I have to
ask you, what are you working on

460

on safeguarding the homes and all of that.

461
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.360
What other projects are you do you

462
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.679
