A new fortnightly Podcast, the first episode will launch on 1st June with an interview with Humans Origin titan Professor Donald Johanson. I decided to record these podcasts because my career filming documentaries­ has given me unique and privileged access to some incredible scientists and thinkers. I have often had an opportunity to share conversation and to satisfy my natural curiosity for learning, experiencing and exploring people, places and ideas. When you are on location with people, you aren’t seeing them in formal, lecture settings or trying to condense their thoughts for the restrictive format of a tv programme. You get to have a proper conversation and exchange. Whether with people I have met or worked with, or strangers whose ideas interest me, I want to re-create that atmosphere and dialogue. With that in mind, don’t expect an interview, these are rolling conversations which cover topics close to my heart and close to the heart of the interviewee. I am keen to engage and learn from anyone who listens. Help me get better at what I’m doing, direct me to other sources of learning, suggest other interviewees. Drop me a line on twitter @piers_leigh
