Customer Reviews
Educational and enjoyable
Russ does a great job choosing intriguing, forward-thinking guests and guiding the conversation in a way that reveals a lot in a relatively short time. The episodes provide fascinating insights into where we are headed, and how our scientific leaders are getting us there. Both Russ and his guests tend to be understated in the ‘wow’ factor of what lies ahead. It’s a refreshing change from most media, which errs on the side of overstating.
