Love the podcast and will be regularly listening! As someone who also has had the RF ablation to spinal nerves (also known as a Rhizotomy) it's a huge game changer for quality of life with people who suffer from back pain. I hope you start to feel relief soon!
I had a cryoablation of my heart. That is what you are talking about Branan but they can use radiofrequency and that used to be the only way but now they are also using cryo.
It works really well for most. I lucked out in that mine is only an electrical problem. Love the pod cast. Thanks
Best wishes on your back surgery, Anson.
Thanks again for your podcast and for all of the work you put into producing it. This episode seems to have been recorded a while ago, as later episodes were after Anson's back surgery and 'The Holdovers' has done well during the award season. If I remember correctly you had also said that you had a lot of material waiting to be put together for release. Your two programs on Out of Darkness and the interactions between homo sapiens and neanderthals prompted me to look at some of the more recent material on why the neanderthals died out (I read Sapiens and some other books on archeogenetics a few years ago). This is another field where more and more is being discovered all the time which makes us rethink our understanding of an issue. There was a good program released two months ago which is on UA-cam called 'Decoding Neanderthals' (by Nova and PBS America) which thought that there was a lot of interbreeding with humans so they were effectively bred out. This was even more so because of the small number of neanderthals (around 10,000) to the large number of homo sapiens (100,000). As Andrew Cumming's said, there was also a long period of co-existence (3-5,000 years), so I don't think it was superiority or that we killed them off. I know what you mean about so many comic book movies (if you are on a good thing stick to it), but there are also some great movies and shows coming out. I recently watched 'Oppenheimer'. WOW. Did you know that there was only three weeks between the Trinity test (on July 16) and the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima (Aug 6). And Netflix recently screened 'The Three Body Problem' (yet another example of your show deserving the credit for pointing me to interesting things to read). Similar to Jules Verne, Cixin Liu wove real science into his writing. So now I need to read the next two books in his trilogy. I always keep an eye out for new podcasts from you. I like to listen to them while I am cooking dinner. Best wishes.
Doctors and Plumbers?
Did you finde a thousand dollar bill between pages of an olde daddy's book, which may be one upped with finding an uncashed savings bond still collecting interest. Which could be a nice surprise for the intended recipient.
Anson's chair squeaks too loudly when he's squirming through a thinking processes.
We hopes Anson haves put screens over all the gaps outside, in the haus. Because when you keeps bees, Bees can weigh down the haus with other hives filling in the nooks and crannies in the hollow spaces of their haus.
But bees are an excellent passive deterrent in keeping prowlers and paparazzi off of your property.
super nice
Mr. Mount, have you considered using an inversion table for your spine? It can be used as often as needed, even daily. You'd find it gently stretches the spine and relieves the pressure which is causing pain.
So enjoy your podcast. Lots of interesting things to check out, thanks! Journey to the Center of the Earth was by Jules Verne, but please check out a contemporary author, Edgar Rice Burroughs. There was a not so great version of his John Carter of Mars series created, but I think a gentleman from Tennessee could do much justice to portraying a gentleman from Virginia😊. Highly recommend reading all of his books, including his Tarzan series. Idea for another well podcast, Michelle Yeoh please.
Hope your back is better Anson. New technology is really a great thing. I did know that about coffee. They said the industrial age would never had happened if it wasn't for coffee. I do check out some of your suggestions. If I didn't I would be watching Star Trek all the time. I guess I need to branch out and be more rounded. Thanks for all the work you do. A lot of people enjoy "The Well."
Indeed, coffee is the culprit of technological civilization... consequentially, over population with popular culture, and indirectly civilization accelerated global climate change - which may be the cause of mutually assured extinction of mankind, because the erth is turning into Venus.
Hope the surgrey went well and the recovery isn't too painful Anson
Meridians. They are crucial in back surgery. Ask about them. Very important.
Forgot to mention... isn't getting older wonderful LOL. I spent 3 years unable to walk more than 1/2 block, until a new Dr. prescribed cortisone shots. Life changer. Turns out it was osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Keep going for second opinions.
I may be a little late to the party, but how do I get my hands on a "The Well" coffee mug?
Is Toronto unsafe?
Hope this reaches you, and or your fans. There are a handful of fake Instagram accounts that are purportedly private Anson accounts. It's totally fraudulent. I've reported this to Instagram.
