How AsapSCIENCE peddles a delightfully geeky 'gateway drug'

Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown say questions people want to answer are more interesting than concepts they're forced to learn.

What would happen if you stopped sleeping?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 
What's the science of orgasms?

AsapSCIENCE founders Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown join guest host Piya Chattopadhyay to discuss their mission to broaden the appeal and accessibility of science — or, in their words, to peddle a "gateway drug" to potential geeks. 

Their award-winning and wildly popular YouTube channel, as well as their new book, tackle everyday questions in a way that educates but also entertains.
