  • hmm, Julius Sumner Miller... whenever I hear that name I get a mad craving for chocolate, for some reason.

  • Although I have never seen the Curiosity show I will probably seek out and watch every episode I can find now. Thank you for introducing Dr. Morrison in to my life. Wonderful, warm interview with a lot of good points made on media coverage on science.

  • Even though I am not Australian and have never seen The Curiosity Show, I really enjoyed the enthusiasm for the topic and the obvious warmth between the interviewers and the interviewee. Looking forward to the next episode.

  • I didn\'t recognize the face on my iPod screen at first, but as soon as he started speaking the voice took me back to the 80s. To this day, I still empty water from bottles by spinning them upside down like Rob & Dean showed me.

    That ear-splitting \"Curiosityyyyyyy\" theme song though... I\'d be happy never to hear it again :)

  • The Curiosity Show helped kindle fascination for the wonders of the natural world in an entire generation of Australians, and Rob and Dean are true Aussie icons. Who can't remember lying on the floor in front of the TV, trying not to spill their Milo on the carpet, slack-jawed with amazement at these guys' demonstrations? In this episode, Rob waxes lyrical about the early days of this momentous science show's beginnings, revealing timeless wisdom pertinent for those of us trying to achieve similar goals with newer forms of media. Especially touching is Richard's obvious adulation for Rob, and his excitement at recalling watching the events being recounted. Thanks for another great episode, Skeptic Zone!
