I really like Led’s interview with Douglas Murray.
What number is that one?
He's putting them out faster than I can listen to them. His lates is #364 and I am about to start #358.

Maybe 274? After my Asperger’s score, I would think I’d know the number, but you can just type the names into youtube and you’ll find it.
I remember it’s from about 8 months ago, originally.
Edit: It’s #296, Vinny.
Here you go -

Will have to check that out.
Btw, Fridman also did a fine job of playing ‘Black Betty’ on his guitar while in the front seat of a self-driving car

I don’t have anything against Joe Rogan at all, but I never saw him much after he played that musclehead on Just Shoot Me. Or was it NewsRadio? Never followed him after that. But, he seems to be an open-minded guy who gives everyone a platform and all the time they want to talk — like Howard Stern did before podcasts existed.
Fridman is incredibly smart, asks intelligent questions, and has an impressive background. Now that I’m used to his accent, I like listening to him just as much as to his guests.

Lex F is also incredibly humble for all he has to offer the world.

@Smithers: I don’t know if he’ll be in the same city as you, but maybe you can have coffee with Led. I genuinely think he’d like you.

Vinny, thank you so much for introducing this podcast series. Speaking as someone who doesn’t sleep well, I really enjoy popping in an earbud and listening to the scientists.

You are welcome. Lex is truly a gem in so many ways.
Sorry to hear about your sleep issues.
Perhaps something here can be helpful?

#201 Konstantin Batygin is the man.
I loved listening to his reminiscing about the Soviet Union in the 90s and coming to the U.S.
Pepsi soviet submarines!
Need to look that up.

Well done!
I'm sure that Lex's well-developed sense of humor will cause him to appreciate it.
I'd not been able to listen to any Lex's for weeks on end until yesterday when I was able to listen to a full 4 hour podcast.
I think that still leaves me at least 8 behind his current segments. I wish he'd date when the podcasts originally come out. It seems like he does about two a week?

Be sure to catch Lex's latest interview with John Mearsheimer to finally hear some common sense talk about Ukraine.
All it took was 400,000 dead Ukrainians and another 400,000 permanently maimed Ukrainians before it became acceptable to talk some common sense on the matter. Oh well, life is cheap in those Slavic countries anyway, so no big deal right.

That is #401. I am just about to finish #395 so will get there soon!
