  • The Mr Feynman series is outstanding

    Thank you Stephen Dubner for bringing Mr Feynman into my life, I kept bumping into his name in the places where I like to listen and read, I had it in my list of “people I need to know what the fuss is all about”. Oh wow, did I find out listening to this series. Thanks for the wonderful journey, we certainly need to bring and inspire more of his brand of open hearted curiosity. He is now probably going to be filed under “One of those teachers for life I never knew, but now I have”. Fantastic.
