Thank you!
I'm not a fan of "watching" a youtube video which has only audio. Listening to Professor Copeland is the exception though, I can never get enough of listening to him.

No being constrained by video allows the audio to be edited in an optimal way, to make lots of micro-improvements - an advantage of the podcast format... And this is first and foremost part of a podcast series... Will continue making long form interviews with Ed too though - seen these? bit.ly/CopelandGoesLong

Even worse are the video with obnoxious sound bars flashing constantly.
Yay! Finally professor Copeland!
At the very end Ed said he congratulated a cricketer on the Centenary Test and the man was ''bowled over!'' Inadvertently being funny.
Imagine taking a lecture on quantum mechanics from Ed.... 😌
That was a lot of fun. Thank you.
Ed is amazing. Thanks for this.
17:57 - Oh, this is fun, but a little silly. Situations like that Oxford exam not only reflect "your real quality," but also just what you "happen to know at the time." You just didn't have the necessary knowledge to do well on the test at that time - it says very little about "you" per se.
I'm not surprised they love STRING theory at the University of KNOTTINGHAM
You should do an interview with Professor Lenny ‘The Guv’nor’ McLean.

Find a positive integer k between n and 2n such that 2(k-n) is a product of two consecutive positive integers. NB: n is a positive integer

The podcast is made primarily as an audio format and put on KZread as a bonus. As such it is very highly edited. Like hundreds and hundreds of tiny cuts and snippets. That makes video impossible.
Really should be an D-Class Reject - He almost failed at being rejected The A-Class Rejects failed spectacularly The F-Class Rejects were accepted - They failed at being rejected
Not enough.
