The power here isn’t just the fact that the listener is along for a conversation that might spark a deep dive. It’s that in these two 30 minute episodes you have a level of realization and humanity that isn’t selling you something that will magically change your life in five payments of $19.99.
This podcast is a brilliant work of science communication that touches the clinical of science while reaching across the aisle to the humanity of it all.
This podcast is wrapped up in mystery and emotion. It is about the feeling of the journey, the mystery of it all, and the wonder of discovery. Every episode is masterfully crafted, with a hook at the end to get you sucked right into the next one.
