Lulu Miller of NPR’s Invisibilia joins us this week to talk about curiosity. Well, she really wanted to talk about adventure, exploration, and discovery; but for reasons we discuss in the show, Brett just couldn’t let curiosity go.
Simply by asking, “What is curiosity?”, we find ourselves confronted with another whole set of questions: How curious are you? How do you measure it? Could one believe they are curious, and then discover they’re not? Could curiosity be something different than you think?
Plus, we tip our hat to the great comic strip Calvin & Hobbes, which debuted 30 years ago this November and rode off on a toboggan 20 years ago this December.
Well, if we want to get any answers to these questions, there’s only one thing left to do: Let’s go exploring!
Lulu Miller is a writer, artist, and science reporter for NPR. National Public Radio. She is one of the co-hosts of Invisibilia, a show about human behavior. It’s a show that is curious and beautiful. (Also, she didn’t write this bio, so you can take our word for it.) In her words, Lulu would say, “I am on the hunt for stories in which Duct-Tape Solves the Ethereal Sadness. To hear more about that, take a listen here.” She has recently finished her first book, set for publication in 2018, entitled ‘Why Fish Don’t Exist’
