Robin Ince’s brand new book The Importance of Being Interested: Adventures in Scientific Curiosity is out TODAY! Go grab a signed copy from our bookshop now! To celebrate we did a livestream launch event early this week with Robin talking about the book with our Shambles chum, musician, composer and comedian Tim Minchin. So we’ve made that conversation available on the podcast this week complete with bonus introduction from Robin and his Science Shambles co-host Dr Helen Czerski. You can watch the full livestream on our YouTube channel here. Robin and Tim chat about what they love about science, cosmic vertigo, putting big ideas into song and why you should definitely get the vaccine.

The Cosmic Shambles Network is only possible due to the generous pledges of our Patreon supporters. There’s lots of great rewards available for supporters including extended editions of episodes every week, behind the scenes access and bonus shows. Subscribe below.
