Famed lithium-ion-battery pioneer and Nobel Prize–winner John Goodenough has achieved yet another milestone—a century on Earth. Goodenough celebrates his 100th birthday on July 25, 2022. In honor of the occasion, Stereo Chemistry host Kerri Jansen and C&EN reporter Mitch Jacoby revisit their 2019 interview with the renowned scientist, recorded at his office at the University of Texas at Austin just prior to his Nobel win. In the expansive and candid conversation, Goodenough tells Stereo Chemistry about childhood adventures, infernal exams with Enrico Fermi, and his path to the innovation that enabled an electronics revolution.

The Jack Benny Program Inception Point AI "The Jack Benny Program" was a long-running American radio and television show that starred comedian Jack Benny. The radio program debuted on May 2, 1932, and ran until May 22, 1955, while the television version aired from October 28, 1950, to April 16, 1965. The show was a cornerstone of American entertainment during its time and remains an iconic example of classic comedy.Format and StyleThe show was a comedy-variety program that featured a mix of skits, monologues, musical performances, and guest appearances. It was known for its well-crafted humor, which often relied on timing, recurring gags, and the chemistry between cast members. The humor was often self-deprecating, and Jack Benny's on-air persona was that of a vain, miserly, and somewhat petty man—character traits that were exaggerated for comedic effect.CastThe ensemble cast was a significant part of the show's success. Key members included:- Jack Benny: The star of the show, playing a fictionalized version of himself.- Ma The Field Recording PodCast by Thijs Geritz Th.
