The podcast I chose is entitled "Interview with Big Bang Theory's Mayim Bialik." This podcast episode is part of The Learning Series, which is produced by Engineering.com, Inc. The host of The Learning Series is Katrina Devine, but the interviewer in this episode is Todd Sierer. He is interviewing Dr. Mayim Bialik, one of the stars of the hit TV show, "The Big Bang Theory."
This podcast was recorded at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. Mayim Bialik, a successful actress who also has a Ph.D. in neuroscience, was invited to speak at the festival. In this interview, Sierer asks Dr. Bialik various questions about how she became interested in neuroscience after she had already started an acting career and if she has any advice for young people who aspire to become involved in science. Bialik offers her input on how to get started in the field of neuroscience and having the confidence to pursue dreams. She emphasizes the fact that hard work, dedication, and passion are the keys to success.
I would say that this podcast fits best into the technology/science genre because the interview focuses on Dr. Bialik's neuroscience career more than it focuses on her acting career. It highlights her achievements in the field and presents her acting talent as just another job she has taken on that makes her success in the science world even more impressive. According to other episode descriptions, this podcast seems typical of the genre. Many of the other descriptions say things about other scientists who have made additional achievements outside the world of science.
This podcast was somewhat engaging. I believe someone who is especially interested in becoming a neuroscientist would enjoy this podcast. The interview was professional and the sound quality of the podcast was good. The only technical error that I observed was the fact that about halfway through the podcast, the audio didn't match up with the video. The words came before Bialik's mouth moved to speak them.
