Countless books, movies, and TV shows explore time travel. This hour, we talk about the hold that time travel has on pop culture and the philosophy, ethics and science of time travel.

And, we hear from an author about how to create and utilize rules of time travel in fiction and the idea of memory as time travel.

GUESTS:

Sara Bernstein: The R.L. Canala College Professor of Philosophy at The University of Notre Dame
Amanda Gefter: Science writer, MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow, and author of Trespassing on Einstein’s Lawn
Emma Straub: Novelist and bookstore owner, whose newest book is This Time Tomorrow
