Podcast Recommendation: Talk Nerdy with Cara Santa Maria
Cara Santa Maria is popular science communicator and one of the co-hosts of The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe (SGU), one of my all-time favorite shows.
Talk Nerdy is Santa Maria’s long-running interview show, and this episode with Steven Novella is a great listen for anyone interested in science and critical thinking.
I really liked Novella’s concept of what a skeptic is (visualized at the top): “Being an expert in science doesn’t make you an automatic expert in bullshit. You need people who are both.”
It’s worth looking through the vast archive of Talk Nerdy because it’s full of interviews with some of the smartest scientists and science communicators out there.
Check out the episode right here: Talk Nerdy: Science-Based Medicine w/ Steven Novella.
