very uncomfortable

interviewer starts saying how fit and un-nerdy typical scientist this guy is. There must have been better ways to phrase this and seem less like a fan girl.

Swearing, gimmicks and good content

What a shame, this could be perfect listening for all about some fascinating (American) people. Unnecessary f words cut out the younger generation sadly. The presenter is professional if you set aside his uh-noy-ying phrasing and ovccas

Cracking insight

I didn't know anything about the chemist before listening to this but wow - what an amazing man. Fun, intelligent, hard working and inspirational. Worth a listen
