It's a curiosity party, and you're invited. Every Tuesday on SGDQ, Nayeema Raza asks simple Qs about big ideas trying to make sense of life. Some of our faves? Neil deGrasse Tyson on how we'd know if we're in a simulation, Esther Perel on why love gets harder with age, Diplo on why every guy I date is a DJ, and two 11 year olds on what it's like to grow up right now. Send us your dumb (and smart) ... more

We asked Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning Godfather of AI: what happens when AI gets smarter than us? Can it unlearn bad behaviours? Break out and release a model that even Sam Altman acknowledges is dangerous? Under what circumstances can we... more

1 star because of the Suzy Welch episode. I was excited to try the “free” test they talked about all episode but it’s one of those dumb scammy websites that makes you spend all the time filling out the information then at the end it wants $50 to actually see the results.
I’m trying to like this show and some episodes are better than others, but this woman talks way too fast, and often cuts off her guests before they can finish their sentences. It’s a bit smug and rude. I get she’s trying to be edgy, but sometimes it’s just cringy.
From a globally thinking girlie like you we would like guests that are knowledgeable about climate change and plastic pollution AND political willpower to solve it
You’re obviously a very smart person but what language are you speaking? Even at .8X speed you are difficult to understand. Are you late for an appointment?
If I could negatively rate one episode it would be the one from Jul21 2026. I know you try and be apolitical but the mindset they have about rage baiting is what makes any political discourse regardless of affiliation frustrating. I hate their approach to conversation.
