Apple Podcasts5ZachinBostonUnited States2 years ago - Great podcast, terrible title
Learning more about the research of some of the world’s most creative scientists and engineers, along with hints about the personal factors that led them to their chosen fields, is a treat.

Give the podcast a feed of it’s own, removed from the rest of the MIT News audio content, and find a new name.
