Sean Carroll is just an incredible science communicator. Sometimes it's a little terrifying that he's able to hold this much information in his head without falling over, but fair play to him.
Excellent podcast!

I really like this podcast. wide range of subjects, friendly but deep conversation. l Sean Carroll is able to frame excellent questions and to recap concepts in a way which clarifies it all.
Must listen to get smarter !

Great podcast. SC explores very interesting topics with great people, sharp, lucid and on the pulse with current life.
Couple of points for me: his utter devotion to materialism restricts some of the discussions (and maybe topics too). Too sure of his own personal conclusions. Lastly, the advertising style is horrible!! Shoving them down your ears without caring that you may be deep in thought (which is obviously why he does it like this). Pity.

Sam Harris runs intellectual circles around this clown. Sean never even talks about how neuroscience has made a fool of Hume and his so called is ought distinction.

Description
Ever wanted to know how music affects your brain, what quantum mechanics really is, or how black holes work? Do you wonder why you get emotional each time you see a certain movie, or how on earth video games are designed? Then you’ve come to the right place. Each week, Sean Carroll will host conversations with some of the most interesting thinkers in the world. From neuroscientists and engineers to authors and television producers, Sean and his guests talk about the biggest ideas in science, philosophy, culture and much more.
