The Modern Lyceum Podcast

The transfer of knowledge of contemporary topics in science and history.

These discussions draw inspiration from the Lyceum of ancient Athens where the thinkers of old brought to light a new frontier of thinking; debate about the universe around us, the human condition, and the contemporary frontiers of science.

On this channel I chat with scientists that are actually doing the work, artists creating amazing things, and historians/anthropologists uncovering new facts about our past.

Each episode is a conversational back and forth about a topic and that the guest is currently focused on in their career as a researcher or author. Each topic is focused primarily around world history or modern scientific breakthroughs.

This solution serves individuals around the world who would like to learn more about these topics through a more unique method. 

I have an access to a network that enables me to interview great guests. I also have the technical knowledge and interest in the topics to keep the conversations smooth and educational. 

The channel is picking up speed and getting exposure from YouTube’s algorithm.

The more assistance and exposure I can get to spread these conversations the better! 

The methods of learning have evolved. Gone are the days of obtaining contemporary scientific knowledge solely from research papers, textbooks, magazines etc. Anyone from around the world is now able to hear the thoughts of the researchers directly from their own mouths, in conversational manner,  from anywhere in the world. This new method of knowledge transfer is what I am trying to help with.

The more people that show interest and find my show the better it will scale and get to even more people. There is an interest in these topics so the only thing left to do is the work to get more episodes out there. 

My impact is directly measurable from views and subscribers.

My guest list is diverse and I try to recruit educators and researchers from all walks of life.

All of my revenue from this if any will be funneled directly to the National Center for Science Education.

There is no cost but time from my end. Production quality could improve in the future which can be a cost.
