About

I am Ann Clark McFarland, author, screenwriter, and mother of five. My co host and husband is Dr. Tim McFarland. Together, we like to talk about UNEXPECTED STORIES in STEM and Faith. STEM fields, science, technology, engineering, and math, affect aspects of our world on a daily basis.

Our podcast idea came from the many hours I’ve spent researching topics for my speculative fiction stories— a genre where “world building” is a necessity. As I gathered tidbits from the STEM fields to bolster my story, I became fascinated when I uncovered a specific STEM development that did not go as planned or seemed contradictory to the initial scientific prediction.

Our podcast name, Paradoxifi, comes from the idea that despite what is proposed- “If I do this ….then this will happen,” we sometimes find an entirely different result arising, and yet it still delivers the truth.

Paradox events can happen in our lives, too, and those events often unsettle us. Our stories will show how we survive, thrive, and even change through such times.

ALSO, in every episode we will start with a riddle or question and listeners can try to solve it. We will give them the answer by the end of the episode.

Join us as we dive into these unexpected stories.

Let’s get started.
