“There is nobody like Alan Alda who can conduct interviews with philosophers, scientists and authors. He engages with the topic and makes me question my world. I usually laugh out loud—The interviews are delightful even though the topics are quite serious.”

“I love this show by Alda! In the latest episode, Alan Lightman said nobody has been able to describe consciousness but this is not true. Scientists live in their own bubble and don’t realize there is a whole body of work on the study of consciousness. The great transcendence of the mind is to...”Read full review »
