Thanks for doing this interview with Avi Loeb. Please Mr. Fidias, try not to interrupt the person you are interviewing. Let her/him get to the point, and then ask your follow-up question.

[rickgomezphotography]

Aví-Your patience is beyond belief. Thanks for keeping your composure and exposing a youthful audience to your brilliant mind.

[davidbradshaw]

The best interviewers ask a good question, then, listens.

[slobodank]

Fidias sounds like Borat, I enjoy listening to Avi 😁

[hilgo_velomobile]

Avi is THE expert on analogies: "reality is under no contract to make you happy". Love it!

[robertchaffee]

I'm not even close to an astrophysicist as him, but because of my experience I totally understand what he is saying.

[SindriLevi]

Awesome podcast as always Fidias! Would absolutely love to reach out to you! You are a huge inspiration to me, I am a 23 year old entrepreneur from Iceland and I would LOVE to get 5 mins with you :)

This is fantastic, amazing that you managed to get an interview with him. Another 2 people I can recommend regarding this subject with are Ross Coulthart (investigative jouranlist) and Dr Garry Nolan. Perhaps you can setup a discord or reddit in which you can ask the public to think of questions for the guests.

There’s so much more we could’ve learned if the interviewer didn’t interrupt him over and over and over again as if at times he was trying to be funny and not letting it flow. I like many can appreciate a good joke and laugh but if the guy he was interviewing wasn’t so much of a interesting guy with a brilliant mind I would’ve switched to a different video minutes in. Hopefully he learns from this video

[StevenWilliams]

I absolutely love how our best scientists know off the top of their heads the names and dates of other scientists who made major discoveries.

[robertchaffee]

My experience was in late 1995 and my conversations with Hawking was in early 1996. I told him we should look and listen to space but not send messages or signals from our location. Just before his passing he relayed that message to SETI.

[robertchaffee]

I also had a very constructive argument Mr. Hawking

[sadfish]

this lad gives Ali G a run for his money.

[randomwithtitan]

Yay another podcast. More things to learn 👍 Thanks Fidias

[colinpatterson]

I am a scientist and guided by evidence... I am a scientist and guided by evidence.... I am a scientist and guided by evidence

[virgiliustancu]

This boy, who interviews Avi Loeb, was in school?!? If he passed, it seems he didn't learn anything. He asks questions as if he is 5 years old.

[MaxB]

The interviewer is so hard to listen to I had to turn it off love avi tho

[seanspring]

Amazing! I guess these days any idiot with a microphone can access some of the great/most accomplished people out there. This guy Fidias is the new Ali G.

[joebaby]

The guy doing the interview is not too bright 😂😂

[robertchaffee]

ObObviously this has been photo chopped to manipulate his hands and wrist. But his knowledge is right on point!
