Worst marriage ever! The story of Jason and Medea

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Data centers are a problem for Alberta Premier Daniel Smith. I'm Kathleen Petty, host of West of Center, and on this week's show, new polling shows deep disapproval for the government's plan to attract AI investment. As an Albertan, I don't have a lot of faith in the government, and so whatever they tell us about this plant, I'm skeptical. Could a big data push shake up support in conservative strongholds? Join us for a deep dive into the politics of data centers.

Find and follow West of Center wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. Jason and the Argonauts, the classic story of an epic voyage that has been told and retold since the birth of Western civilization.

The ancient Greek story of Jason and the Argonauts is the story of a quest and one of the first ever told, a man, a ship, and a team of sailors all in search of a miracle. And where will you find this miracle? I have heard there is a tree at the end of the world, with a fleece of gold hanging in its branches. Jason also shows up centuries later in Dante's Divine Comedy, and centuries after that, in the 1800s, in a poem by William Morris, and a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
