aboutlogic podcasts
Thorsten Altenkirch (staff)
Dear all,
We’re happy to announce the launch of aboutlogic, a new bi-weekly podcast where logic, mathematics, philosophy, and computer science meet.
About Logic features in-depth conversations with people working in and around the foundations of these subjects. We talk about topics ranging from the foundations of computer science and set theory to critical thinking, puzzles, and what academic life is really like—its motivations, frustrations, and surprises.
The podcast launches on January 14 at 18:30, with three episodes released at once, featuring:
