This was a great one. I really appreciate the 1 on 1 conversations. They are always deeper, more historical, more coherent, and more educational in my opinion, than the big panels are.

Amazing Talk. James Peebles is fantastic! So clear and simple in the way he speaks and so wiling to say there are things he can't even guess at. One your best guests, Brian.

Combining enlightening Information with subtle humour, great guests and conveying the content in a understandable way makes this a special channel to me (and so many !) 👏 Thanks a lot from Germany for promoting science in times when facts are so often disregarded 👍
