A New Chapter of Breaking Math: Get to Know Your Hosts

Speaking of the new season, I'm a new co-host, and I'd like to get to know you a little better, and I think you'd like to get to know me a little better.

I think, think we know each other off-camera pretty well.

Well, I'm sure there's plenty of surprises left in store, so let's see.

Oh, of course, especially y- after learning that you have 12 chickens.

Well, you know, let's play a game, and let's ask each other a few questions.

You have been a co-host for a while, but now you have this new title, I forget the official thing.

You're the CEO of Breaking Ba- Breaking Math.

I was gonna say Breaking Bad, [laughs] not quite.

See, that's actually where the show was started, was Breaking Bad, so-

Well, it's an excellent show, so I think it's an excellent start.

Yeah.

So I always thought it was breaking news about math, and now I realize you're just talking about math and math, but that makes sense.

Okay, moving on.

So I wanna get to know you.

You are now the CEO of this media company behind Breaking Math.

So what are the things you're most excited about moving into this role, where you have a lot more kind of power to shape things beyond just in the chair in your conversations?

Behind the camera.

Most people didn't realize that I actually am a media and tech consultant, along with being an engineer.

As I'm formalizing Breaking Math as more of a media company and not just a podcast, that means that we have clearer editorial vision, better production workflows, stronger partnerships with other associations outside of here.

But that also, for me, investing in storytelling.

That might be better audio, better visuals, and more of a narrative cohesion across platforms.

I'm also having the ability to dive deeper and wider into some topics.

So with that, you might see me doing a talk about science communication or working with other people, whether it's authors or illustrators.

I've worked on various media over time, so being able to shape the needs of the community that we're working with and also expanding other things for future science communicators, I'm really hoping to do that without telling a lot of details right now.

Well, I, I think we'll discover those details as we go.
