Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
Brady has such a personable approach to a broad array of people. I’ve been listening to Numberphile for a while and every episode is quite good. I’ve just listened to the Third Cornet with Katie Steckles while out riding my bike. Very interesting and a pleasure to hear.
Brady brings out the best in his guests
A great look into the lives and careers of professional mathematicians.
Making Math accessible to all....
Brady has a gift. The interviewees have a gift. Both parties come together to give the listener a peek behind the curtain of their lives. Mathematics, Astronomy, Science...real subjects....with real people making each subject accessible to all levels of listener.
Thank you Brady!
