ohhh... let me introduce you to the wonderful world, of CGPGrey and Brady Haran (Numberphile, Periodic Videos and a lot of other channels). They together make the podcast Hello Internet (H.I. for sort), where they talk from Copyright and viewjacking (or freebooting), to Flag design, plane crashes, Iphones, kindle ebooks, movies, making youtube videos and more.
