Sean Carroll

Voices that are out there on the internet or on the airwaves or what have you who are saying lots of things about lots of different things and saying it in a way that you might be fooled into thinking that it's really intelligent but is just not actually engaging with the best –

intellectual discussion on these issues.

That's why it tends to be professors that I have, because it's their job to be serious about these things.

That's absolutely not a requirement, but I also don't want someone who is just very, very articulate and very, very smart even, but not really a subject matter expert at the highest level.

That's really what I'm looking for.

So the Pope, Pope Leo,

Absolutely a subject matter expert at a certain subject.

I would love to have him on the podcast.

If anyone literally knows how to get in touch with him or the relevant people, let me know.

I mean, don't just email me saying, I think you should Google it or whatever.

You know, I can do that.

But if you have some special in, then let me know.

It probably won't happen.

I know this is a long shot.

So if you're listening, Pope Leo, I do appreciate your work, even though we don't always agree about everything.

And I appreciate all of the input that I do get from listeners and the support.
