Customer Reviews
Sean Carroll is a national treasure
I was introduced to Sean Carroll when he first appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. His fluid and simple way of breaking down extremely complex concepts made me an instant fan. He's also very objective and doesn't care about being right or wrong, he wants people to think and find out how things work.
This podcast just shows how curious he is about other subjects outside of his profession. This is a recipe for a successful podcast!
