Professor Blastoff podcast
Broadcasting from an abandoned hatch underground, four friends -
Tig Notaro, Kyle Dunnigan, David Huntsberger, and Mormon researcher Aaron Burrell - with nothing more than a layman's understanding of complex concepts and theories, attempt to discuss topics none of them can fully grasp. Luckily, they always have an expert guest, so that when they are done cracking wise about these deep topics - such as quantum physics, immortality, or morals - the hosts as well as the listener will come away with a better understanding of it.Their lack of expertise is quickly forgotten due to their charm and smart-alecky questions and comments. Lighthearted and with arguably the best chemistry of any current podcast hosting team, they end every show with personal messages for people who donated, read listener emails, proudly declaring their love of swamp rock, encouraging everyone to don a Tig Wig, and contribute a few chaotic ad readings and random barbershop quartet choral breaks.
Available at the Earwolf Site. Update: This was actually written back in June, prior to Tig Notaro's cancer diagnosis. Obviously, the entire dynamic and scope of the podcast has changed into one with moments of inspiration and hope, in addition to the humor. We wish Tig a speedy recover and send all the goodwill possible in her direction.
