Holzinger’s Rabbit Hole
Hosted by Prof. Marcus Holzinger · ENGLISH
**Podcast Summary:**
Welcome to *Holzinger’s Rabbit Hole*, where I explore whatever fascinates me at the moment. There’s no set order, no strict theme—just my curiosity leading the way. As the Negler Professor in the Smead Aerospace Engineering Department at CU Boulder, I’ve spent my career thinking about space, strategy, and technology. But my interests go far beyond that.
One episode might dive into astronautics and space policy, the next into wargaming and deterrence theory. One week, I’ll be deep in the mechanics of geostrategy, and the next, I’ll be mapping out the hidden layers of cartography. From history to AI, workflow to wellness, and everything in between, this podcast is a journey through the ideas that capture my attention.
There’s no grand plan—just an open-ended exploration of the concepts shaping our world, our future, and the way we think. Expect deep dives, expert insights, and thought-provoking discussions as I follow my intellectual rabbit holes, wherever they lead.
