That's the pinnacle of global podcast production. Thank you Lex and your team and your guests for the high quality conversations

This is honestly the first scientist I have came across that I can really understand what he is saying. I am obsessed with space and everything that has to do with it. In 2.5 hours this man has single handily influenced me to learn far more than I already do, to download his books and to consume as much content as I possibly can inside of his podcast. Truly inspired here. What a wonderful guest. Would love to meet him myself and pick his brain for hours. What an interesting and intelligent human being you have brought onto this podcast.

I have learned so much from Dr. Carroll through all these years, the easy way to explain such difficult concepts seems like a gift..

this is the shit i pay my internet provider for

This may be the best podcast duo of all time. Could listen all day to Lex’s amazing questions and Sean’s brilliant answers

I’m not sure if I’m getting smarter, or this guy just teaches his craft extremely well and then breaks it down to where the audience can understand it, but wow, I learned so much. What a brilliant guest. Could listen to him speak all day.

Anyone else watch this video many times in the evening? It’s my comfort video.
