The Most Important Podcast
A show about saving the world, because we have to -- and about rock and roll, because I want to.
The Most Important Podcast takes a serious look at a few, simple questions: What is the most important problem in the world? How would we find it, and How do we solve it? It interviews politicians, academics, journalists, musicians, and more, to try to get the answers that will set us, as a species, in the right direction.
Expect occasional swearing.

The Most Important Problem: Prologue and Introduction
This episode contains the pre-Chapter 1 material from the current draft of my book, The Most Important Problem. It gives the origin story of my current research, including the interviews I do on this show. If you're new, this is a good place to start.
In this episode, five mysterious men nearly cause a nuclear war, a pioneering Ottoman launches himself into the ocean, and the Director of the National Science Foundation makes weird faces at me.
