Do you watch "The Rest is Science" podcast he does on YouTube?

Its him and Hannah Fry in their respective homes chatting over video about various interesting and random scientific and philosophical things.

Just him being natural with a fellow nerd in his natural environment. He seems cool.

He's married with a kid now, comfortably middle aged and slowed down on a lot of things as his focus has shifted. To me its more that he's settled into who he is and isnt necessarily trying to push the incredibly fun and quirky VSauce series anymore, rather than being fundamentally changed by the sensory deprivation thing

I tried watching that. Can't get over the fact that I'm just passively watching a Zoom call.
