GESPONSERT
For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Google. Tumblr. Twitter. Zaarly. They’re all successful companies, but where in the heck did their names come from? When determining the name of your startup, there are a lot of things to keep in mind.

There are multiple ways to go about naming your business, but before you do, be sure to ask yourself these 9 questions. http://www.thinkbigpartners.com/mp3/043NamesThinkBigRadio.mp3…
A long time ago (and we mean a long time ago) we developed a top 10 list of some of the best online and offline resources for entrepreneurs and startups in Kansas City. Now that almost three years have passed, it’s about time we update this list with some of the newest and best entrepreneur and startup resources in the Kansas City area.

A lot of things have changed in the past three years—especially when it comes to the progression and creation of new startup resources in the Kansas City area. http://www.thinkbigpartners.com/mp3/042StartupResources.mp3…

Kansas City isn’t just experiencing big things this summer…it’s experiencing fast things, too. This summer, Google opened its very own home in KC and the location quickly became known as Google Fiber Space. Google Fiber Space is a modern, techy place full of Google Fiber demonstrations, interactive video, hands-on activities and even free food! It all sounded too good to be true…so we decided to take a look at Google Fiber Space for ourselves. And it was better than we imagined. We even had the opportunity to sit down with Google Fiber Community Manager Rachel Hack and ask her a few questions about Google Fiber’s implementation in Kansas City…and what we can expect next. We asked Rachel about Google Fiber for business, the ins-and-outs of Google TV, Kansas City as the home of Google Fiber and we even took questions from people on Facebook and Twitter who had interesting questions about the high-speed Internet. Want to hear what Rachel had to say? Give episode 23 of Think Big Radio a listen!
