Detecting Disease Outbreaks from Internet Traffic | Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
This is closely tied to a 4-hour collaboration between Sam Harris and me, which Sam is posting to his podcast's feed. I strongly recommend that episode too! But it's not "required" for you to get everything out of this fascinating conversation with Seth.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful conversation
Rob Reid’s podcast is simply brilliant. The topics are compelling, the guests are preeminent voices in their field, and the conversation is thought provoking. If you want a deep dive, this podcast is perfect.
My new favorite
Over the last 10 years, I've tried at least a couple dozen science related podcasts. This is the best.
Great depth, well produced, very knowledgeable host and very little politics. Even the titles are descriptive so I can easily find what I want to listen to. My only complaint is nit picky; the title "After On" is not exactly descriptive or memorable.
Keep it up and I'll continue to support it.
Fave!
I’m generally a fan of nonfiction history and science podcasts. Mr. Reid has a well balance voice, excellent audio on all his recordings, seemingly endless and appropriate follow up questions, and a wide variety of guests. If I could give more stars I would.
