My guest on the podcast this week has been called the most famous astrophysicist of our time. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist and the author of the #1 bestselling Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, among other books. He is the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, where he has served since 1996. He is also the two-time host of the beloved TV series Cosmos — rebooting the original 1980 series was hosted by Carl Sagan. Dr. Tyson is also the host and cofounder of the Emmy-nominated popular podcast StarTalk and its spinoff StarTalk Sports Edition, which combine science, humor, and pop culture.

In our conversation, we talk about his new book Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization, anti-intellectualism, gender and identity and more! He’s dynamic, engaging, and shoots from the hip.
