The Universe with Dr. Katie Mack and John Green

I’m not a big fan of podcasts for anything other than falling asleep to but I have been thoroughly enjoying this long-form explainer of how the Universe was formed and how we know what we know about it. The format is the key - John Green is utterly bemused by the most basic cosmological facts so Katie Mack has to explain everything as if talking to a child. And then every so often John summarises what she’s said in his own words, showing that he gets it. This double explainer is perfect and I now fully understand stuff like dark matter. Highly recommended.
