Shared whiteboard leads to energizing math podcast focused on ideas
Had a great time watching this show! It is hard to discuss technical content in a podcast format.

It does not feel overly technical or heavy! Looking forward to more episodes

An amazing podcast from a researcher at DeepMind. Timothy’s explanations are very clear, and the content is intriguing. Highly recommended.
