In this debut episode of Uneducated Guesses, Kaden launches a new series designed to spark curiosity in STEM-minded students who love math and science but have no idea where they want to take those skills. Kaden interviews his first-ever non-parent fan, Logan Nate—a junior chemical engineering student at Oklahoma State University—to explore what studying chemical…

Captain’s Log – Stardate 7681.42 U.S.S. Nikola – NCC-4242 Mission Report: “From Oil to Oilithium: Because Real Science Is Too Boring” This week’s mission took an unexpected turn. While en route to conduct a routine survey of speculative energy phenomena in Sector 9, the crew of the Nikola encountered an anomalous signal—one not logged in any official…

In Kaden Unscripted and Afraid, apparently I’m ditching the script—because someone stole it—and answering the top 10 energy questions teens and young people are actually asking. No notes, no prep, no safety rails. Just me, my spiraling anxiety, and whatever half-baked, overly-dramatic, possibly-incorrect answers explode out of my face. So buckle up. Or don’t. I’m…

Okay… so… we need to talk. This episode — Episode 31 — should not exist. It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t scheduled. It wasn’t even supposed to be possible. Episode 30 was meant to be the grand finale — thirty reasons to hate energy, a nice round number, a tidy wrap-up, a neat little bow tied around…

It finally happened. Kaden has spent 29 episodes teetering on the edge of an electrical meltdown, and now he’s jumped straight into the power plant cooling tank. For this milestone episode — number thirty, the big three-oh — he’s dedicating an entire two-part special to the only thing holding the universe together and simultaneously ruining…

Get ready to experience the episode that won every award for everything ever like you’ve never heard it before — on YOUR EARS™. We’re…

A note from M.O.T.H.E.R.B.O.A.R.D.:Dearest listeners. It brings me great joy—or whatever passes for joy when forced to narrate human incompetence—to present this very special broadcast. Today’s episode features your host, Kaden, stumbling his way through a carefully curated series of energy trials. Each designed not only to measure the limits of technology, but to highlight…

This episode is a respectful roast—an affectionate, comedy-forward tribute to Nordic and Arctic brilliance in energy and culture—delivered with care, zero malice, and a promise of no spoilers. It’s framed seriously and honestly: the jokes aim upward at reputations for efficiency, innovation, and quirky national myths, never at people or identities. The goal is to…

This episode is easy. Simple. Totally casual. We’re not overthinking anything here — just a light little stroll through the energy that keeps everything running. Cities, houses, burritos, laptops, maybe even your dog’s heated bed — nothing complicated. But here’s the thing: when you start adding it all up, the question sneaks in — how…

Case File: “The Family Business” (Classification: Open Investigation) The assignment came in quiet, late at night, the kind of job nobody wants but somebody’s gotta do. A series of unusual fatalities. The cause? Power. Not the political kind—the kind that runs your lights, your stove, your car. Every suspect was already on the board: Coal, Oil,…
