I was looking for something like this! They're interested and informed, bring in the expertise, but never with a narrow, blinkered focus. Expansive, inspiring, funny and interesting.
Presented by professionals you can trust and who make understanding very complex fields of science much more digestible and lighthearted. There you go!
