Trains.
My kid is a train kid, I’m already listening to it non-stop, I won’t make things worse for me or him.
I had to listen to a guy talk about the fanfic he was writing for 4 hours. So anything but that I suppose.
Astrophysics/cosmology. I’m more artsy geek than STEM geek, but there is a tremendous amount of beauty found in what we know and don’t know about the universe.
My husband talking about something he’s passionate about and makes him happy. It doesn’t matter what, I love how excited he gets when he’s explaining something that matters to him.
Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.
Honestly, nothing. No matter how strong my interest is in something, it will eventually shift dramatically and I’ll have trouble listening to any other thing.
I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation
Do we get to pick the person? I’d say Nigella Lawson talking about cooking.
Sam Harris about moral philosophy.
I find his reasoning to be incredibly logical and easy to follow. On top of that he has a really pleasant voice.
