an interview with a

Psychiatrist

Mark Goulston MD

Dr. Goulston is a psychiatrist, but a rare kind of. Throughout his career he worked with the police and the FBI as a negotiation trainer, he consults CEOs of big companies and wrote a book about how to get through to absolutely anyone. And you know what? He does this. He gets through and he can teach you how to do it. This interview is 1 hour long, but it's definitely worth the time.

an interview with a

Sleep-Breathing Expert

Steven Park MD

Do you snore? Well, even if you don't, I bet someone you know does. Then make him see this interview and learn from Dr. Park all about sleep-breathing problems. Being an otolaryngologist Dr. Park knows everything there is about how we breathe. Combine that knowledge with his deep interest in sleep and you get an ultimate specialist. One thing I definitely learned from this conversation is that we shouldn't really take breathing and sleeping for granted. It is indeed a fragile matter.

an interview with an

Airline Pilot

Paul Volle

For me airplanes have always been something I was truly amazed and fascinated with. And so, talking to a pilot, who managed to make 150 carrier landings and is now flying Boeing 737 was definitely something I was looking forward to. Mr. Volle's confidence and attitude towards his profession would probably make everyone convinced that we are safe as long as pilots like him are in charge. It was an interesting discussion with lots of new stuff to discover about airlines.

an interview with a

Professor Of Cybernetics

Kevin Warwick

I guess it would be no exaggeration to say that Mr. Warwick works on the future. Matrix-like future, where humans are super-humans with brains plugged-in and augmented by the network, and AI is actually more intelligent than a human brain. And the craziest thing is that this future is a few steps away from us - Mr. Warwick has already successfully connected his brain to the internet and merged living brain cells of a rat with a robot. Want to know how? Check this episode, it may as well change your future.

Classical Music Composer

Melissa Dunphy

Meet Melissa. She's an award winning modern classical music composer who played in a rock band! She took the trouble of explaining why classical music is still so relevant today, what's the future of classical music, why you must really learn how to read musical notation and if seeing orange or smelling coffee while you listen to Beethoven means you may have a perfect pitch.
