Giant Leap is a new podcast hosted by nuclear physicist Taylor Wilson and journalist Joey Lovato. Shot in Taylor's lab, the show digs into hard science, big ideas and possible futures by speaking with the people making those futures reality. In between guest episodes, Taylor and Joey will talk about advances in science and technology, or more accurately, Joey will ask Taylor questions and Taylor will answer them. This podcast is made with listener support. Thank you this week to Adrian Davis and John Lawson.
