The MacArthur Foundation awards the "Genius Grant" every year to the most compelling scientists, educators and artists in the country. But who are these "geniuses," really? Host Bob Garfield sits down with fellows, including writer and producer David Simon, radio producer Jad Abumrad, and inventor Amy Smith, to learn what events shaped their life, how they became leaders in their fields, and what they imagine our shared future looks like.

When you add The Genius Dialogues to your library you will receive all 12 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 35 minutes.

Enjoyed listening to this series very much. The Geniuses featured have interesting insights on the world and of course on problem solving. Found the quasi-Proust questionnaire particularly thought provoking. Wish there were more episodes!

I can’t listen to this book around my kids because of the language. Every so often they drop the F word and for no real reason. Deleting. Sad because it is something I would have liked
