An hour of science corner each week would be the best part of the pod

Friedberg needs his own pod just for science corner, would love to see Cleo as cohost. Maybe a Wednesday episode and then all in on Friday? This needs to happen. Science corner is the most valuable part of the pod but it deserves its own space

I want to thank you Dave for bringing Science Corner to the big Audience. In the weekly shows it always gets drowned because it's hard to grasp for most of the viewers but the topics you pic are always mindblowing! I would love to see a yearly growing science Corner with you as the host. Go deep into the topics and speak to the people in the fields. Thanks again.
