58: Adam Savage Live on Stage in San Francisco

I first realized that I was a science communicator, and then I realized that what that means is I’m just telling stories, and I’m trying to tell stories that have truth to them instead of great stories with a bunch of lies on top of them—which I’m also really good at telling.
— Adam Savage

On the show this week Indre talks to Adam Savage about the future of science communication (and why it’s terrifying TV networks), why he’s worried Elon Musk might become a Marvel supervillain, and why it’s so important to him that women be better represented in his field.

Indre also talks to host of The Story Collider, Ben Lillie, about the Antares Rocket explosion, flavonols, and Ben explains why he's fascinated by institutional review boards.

This episode was recorded live on stage in San Francisco as part of the 2014 Bay Area Science Festival.
