I want to take a second to rep my absolute favorite podcast, Physics Frontiers.°
It's not a "pop-sci" podcast - they take a couple of interesting modern physics papers and discuss them; no more, no less. A lot of it is way over my head as a chemist, but that's part of what makes me love it. The topics are always understandable, even if it takes self-study to get the nuances.
One guy is a physicist and the other is a sculptor who, I assume, taught himself physics.
Just a thing that would likely appeal to one who cares about particle physics and is not well satisfied by the preponderance of 'physics' podcasts that endlessly re-explain what entropy is or what wave/particle duality means.
I wish more science podcasts dealt directly with modern research, and this one is a great example...even if they're skeptical about Copenhagen and prefer pilot-wave "realism".

- RosanaAnaDana 8y agoI'm very intersested in the idea of a podcast that does the same for topics in climate science, biology, natural sciences. Know of anything you could point me at?
- nabla9 8y agoSean Carroll's Mindscape Podcast is good general podcast from a physicist. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/ https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/
- est31 8y agoI've found talks on youtube to be very interesting. You can often just listen to them without watching the video. Some links: Allen institute lectures about neuroscience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtPgW1ebxmE&list=PLOpjORaUU74zmq6Pmo3O6dzhxFBtaGsdt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtPgW1ebxmE&list=PLOpjORaUU7... A talk about the insight Mars lander by the guy who proposed the mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXyLaER23aU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXyLaER23aU Climate change (focused on Boston but he really knows his stuff): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToNKd6RQhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToNKd6RQhk
