About this listen
A sterling roster of natural and social scientists in conversation with top-flight journalist Stefan Klein - shedding new light on their work, their lives, and what they still hope to discover.
When acclaimed science writer Stefan Klein asks Nobel Prize-winning chemist Roald Hoffmann what sets scientists apart, Hoffmann says, "First and foremost, curiosity." In this collection of intimate conversations with 19 of the world's best-known scientists (including three Nobel Laureates), Klein lets us listen in as today's leading minds reveal what they still hope to discover - and how their paradigm-changing work entwines with their lives outside the lab.
From the sports car that physicist Steven Weinberg says helped him on his quest for "the theory of everything" to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, these scientists explain how they find inspiration everywhere. Hear from renowned scientists including: evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on selfishness, anthropologist Sarah Hrdy on motherhood, primatologist Jane Goodall on animal behavior, neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran on consciousness, geographer Jared Diamond on chance in history, and many other luminaries.

Interesting and accessible
The interviews are enjoyable, I just wish that Leonardo, sounding like a Italian version of Dumbledore, had been left out.

Interviews with the biggest names in science
Loved this. Some of the biggest names in science were interviewed for this. Interesting to hear, though it's not their actual voices. I may listen to it again. Some of the interviews were a bit rubbish and uninformative. But most were great. For more detailed and informative interviews, I recommend theoretical physicist Sean Carroll 's podcast.

Interviewer boring, scientists interesting
Got the uneasy feeling that the interviewier was trying to catch the scientists lying. Much unnecessary arguing when the scientist is the actual specialist in the field. Well narrated.

Not a comfortable listen
The content of the conversations was interesting enough. However, the presentation and, in particular, the performances were unnatural and sounded artificial.
