with Yogi Reben Understanding Science can be difficult. Yogi helps make sense of current topics in science and related nerdy stuff. “A Week in Science” reviews and explains news stories. “Nerdin’ Out” interviews people about their areas of expertise and how STEM got them there. “Life, Bro” is non-science interviews. “Rambling” is exactly what it sounds like. This may or may not be science oriented. We try to make this down-to-earth and not stuffy (like science usually is). Sorry if we curse.

Check them out! @therookband … He is also a huge nerd and a lawyer and an accountant and a mythology aficionado, but we somehow managed not to get to any of that in our 90 minutes. We catch up about being dads, the PR-NY connection, and honestly we reminisce alot about the music scene on Long Island from ‘93-‘03.

    Josh has been a good friend for nearly 3 decades. He teaches Writing and Literature in Denver (but he's a NYer). We talk about a variety of topics, but focus on Games (and Gaming) and the human mind (including how we learn, why we like the things we do, mental health, etc).   Some background: I've given Josh (and others) crap about D&D for many years, and here we really get into an analysis of why some people like it and others don't. Also get into video games, having kids, etc. Life, bro.  Josh is what I would call a “Bibliophile” or “Literati”, and he uses a lot of big words; I commend him on his patience when talking to a math/science guy like me.   Lastly: Yeah, this is a really long episode. I thought about splitting it into two, but decided to leave it as one. I do suggest you take it in pieces of a size that work for you.   Intro song - “Knowledge” by Operation Ivy --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/applied-science/message
