GEEK CHIC/TMI/FUTURE MONEY (feat: Bill Nye) – Think Again Podcast, ep. 4
“I embrace the geek.” – Bill Nye
Was Einstein a fashion genius? Why is Malcolm Gladwell unimpressed by search engines? What will money look like in 500 years?
In this week’s episode of Big Think’s Think Againpodcast, host Jason Gots is joined by beloved actor/educator Bill Nye the Science Guy. Big Think interview clips from Simon Doonan, Malcolm Gladwell, and Kabir Sehgal launch Bill and host Jason on a spirited discussion that spans continents and centuries.

Think of a podcast as a radio show you can get on the internet, so you can listen any time you want. You have two options: you can listen through a website (this is called streaming). Or, you can download a podcast, which means you’re saving it on your phone, or tablet, or computer, and you can listen to it anytime, even without an internet connection.
To Stream: Go to a website, like www.bigthink.com/thinkagain, and click the play button.
To Download: Get it delivered to your phone or tablet each week using an app.
For iPhones and iPads, use the Podcasts app. You get it from the App Store (it actually comes installed on newer devices). In the Podcasts app you search for Think Again and then hit subscribe.
For Android phones and tablets, try the Stitcher app. Get that from Google Play. In Stitcher, search for Think Again and click the plus sign (+), to add it to your Favorites List. Now go to the Favorites List. Tell it to download new episodes by clicking the gear in the upper right corner.
Have fun!
