 You really have to like science for listening such a podcast. 

Can you shill some science podcasts? 
 I like Theories of Everything, Quanta podcast, sean carroll. I need more tbh, I only have a small list I follow atm. 
 Tried Tokcast?  
 were you following  the new pi formula discovery through string theory a few days ago ? 
 no but that sounds interesting, makes sense that pi would show up in closed loop of strings! 
 apparently they found a new connection between string theory and quantum field theory, under certain open superstring condition (beta = 1) and might lead to new ways of understanding the quantum theories because it goes back to the first particles (tho my understanding of string theory is mainly based on sheldon cooper and the big bang theory sitcom!)
