  • Thoughtful conversations

    I’ve been a fan of Alan Alda since my teens when I was obsessed with M*A*S*H. How delighted I was to discover his podcast featuring thoughtful discourse with people from all walks of life. Alda’s intellectual curiosity is palpable in the way he asks his guests questions, and the ensuing conversations are invariably fascinating and engaging. What a calming oasis amid the chaos of the times! Alda is a national treasure!

    Loved Alan Alda in Everything. Thes are so unpretentious. We now watch MASH every night. Agree with his wife. “The key to a long marriage is a short memory.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leanne Guy: A New Eye on Space
Q: Is more going to be learned about dark matter because of this observatory?
Yes, it will help us to understand what dark matter is by observing a very large part of the sky over a long time period.
Leanne Guy: A New Eye on Space
Q: Do I have this right that in the first view we had using the telescope, something like 2,000 asteroids were found? How many of them were coming our way?
Fortunately, none of them. But it's a good point that you bring up. One of the key science drivers and motivations for building Rubin Observatory was to detect potentially hazardous asteroids.
Michael Osterholm: Can We Stop The Big One?
Q: What gives you confidence?
I believe that people are more good than they are bad, especially during crises when the best of humankind tends to surface.
Michael Osterholm: Can We Stop The Big One?
Q: How do you tell someone they have their facts wrong?
You can't be condescending; it really needs an approach of engaging them and asking them to explain their beliefs, so you can gently respond with differing information.
Herman Pontzer: Diversity: Humanity’s Superpower
Q: How do you tell someone they have their facts wrong?
You can lead them to a place where their own facts would result in a different conclusion, creating a journey together to understanding.
