Our hosts discuss the mechanics and science behind modern trends, and answers lingering questions concerning the safety, legitimacy, and impact of modern technologies. These include the treatment and insemination of farm cows, the physical explanations behind roller coasters' accelerated improvements in safety and experience, and an internet baby-sitting service that allows remote chaperoning via direct surveillance.

Our hosts delve into the recent advancements in technology that have enabled the FBI to create a genetic database in the ongoing fight against sexual predators, doctors to create unprecedented health options to give those suffering from physical disabilities to lead fully functional and self-dependent lives, and even allocating, retrieving and restoring shipwrecked artifacts formerly believed to be lost.

The hosts dedicate this week's episode to such unprecedented technological progress as astrophysicists using models to recreate and make sense of the matter and complexities of the vast universe, a 100-year-old doctor who has the strength and resilience to work a demanding full-time job with a smile on his face, and an American toddler with an incurable illness (which will most definitely conclude with a premature and untimely death) whose parents take him to an Australian laboratory for what appears to be his only hope at a healthy life (let alone survival).

The hosts interview various experts on such exciting topics as the possibility of time travel in a practical sense and what requisites are necessary for it to occur, skunks and their fascinating family and group dynamics, and the science behind nuclear waste and the methods used to safely rid the Earth's surface and population from conceivable leaks and subsequent damage from the highly dangerous materials.

Scope's hosts delve into such captivating topics as Jane Goodall and her historic relationships with wild chimpanzees, as well as her longtime adventure photographer whose daring shoots have been seen in innumerable publications around the world. Their combined efforts have had historic results, successfully informing the public on the realities of the remote fauna life in some of the most primal animal environments on Earth.

Scope's hosts detail such awe-inspiring stories as a multi-decade project from a perpetually rotating team of sculptors to replicate a lost Da Vinci masterpiece, a material used for canoes that could conceivably be used as a cheaper and more effective alternative to common and finite resources, and an amateur pilot whose homemade airplane successfully traveled intercontinentally.
