George skillfully blends comedy, music, science, and an amazing storytelling ability each and every week. It's super-smart without being pretentious, which makes it incredibly approachable even for people who haven't (yet) developed a relationship with him. First-time listeners may be surprised by the 10-20 min "cold open", but just pretend you walked into a party and saddled up to the most interesting person in the room just starting to tell a story. It'll be worth it!
