April Patreon...podcast?

The BEC video was great, I love it when you talk about specific scientists and not only about their work but also the context, what brought them where they went, like with Bose, such a cool story. The audio message format is also something I like, so whenever you feel like sharing some thoughts but don't want the hassle of a video and editing etc, just shoot, I think we patrons here would love it! Oops I just saw that I already commented on this last month. Whatever.

Ooh, Seinfeld and saudering! The diner in the show (Tom's Restaurant) is around the corner from my university.

Honestly this was great. If you ever wanted to quit video and just do Oakley car guy rants I'd pay to listen. Is that weird?

Happy quantum quantum quantum everyone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Quantum_Day

BEC = home run. I watched on Nebula. Patreon memo is great too. You can be self-conscious looking at yourself talk if that's how you roll, but for me, it's all good. I love your body language, particularly your hand gestures. Also, I see it sorta like when we're hanging out with our friends, we aren't all judgy. What we do together matters, what we talk about matters, what we say matters, but we don't score our routine. We had some time, we hung out. People on YouTube who like you, they'll like what you give them. They're friends. People who don't like you there, I don't know. Are you afraid of them? Just my 2c.

The BEC video and the black holes video are among my favourites of all! Since you're really into the history of science and physics, I think it might be fun to tell stories of specific institutes or universities, and how the fact that some key people ran across each other there was influential for the advancement of their subject. In one recent video from you, you briefly mentioned two guys who weren't US-born but ended up in the US later on, and what caught my eye is that for both, their "alma mater" was the Uni of Leiden, and I thought: is that the reason that they collaborated / contributed both to the same step? It might be a challenge to research this stuff.

I'm interested in seeing a Seinfeld video. We are living it upsetting times. I'm in my sixties and lived through the 60s, Vietnam, Nixon and Reagan and 911, the Iraq wars and the Trump first act. and COVID. I thought those were all huge disasters. This is way beyond anything I've known before. Looks to me like the American experiment with Democracy is in the worst peril ever since the Constitution was ratified. It's as bad as the Civil War if it's not worse. I encourage everyone reading this to show up to the next protest or demonstration. It might be the most effective way we have to express support for preserving the United States. If we can get millions of feet on the ground protesting the current regime maybe Congress will wake up. Maybe Congress, Billionaires, Universities, Giant Corporations, the News Media, the apathetic Voters will stand up and resist what's happening.

Loved Seinfeld in the day. Would love to view it through your lens because it comes from that era just before the internet or very early internet.

I generally love you videos on shows/movies. Even if I haven't watched them, you manage to make it interesting

oh I need to hear your take on Seinfeld!

Really nice to hear from you, I like the audio format because I can listen while doing other things (my list of podcasts is daunting).

I really enjoyed this - just riding in the car next to you, having a chat - cheers.

If you're staying in Queens checkout The museum of the moving image. Its in Astoria. Also UES where most of the famous museums are located is a quick subway ride from Queens. Please do the Seinfeld video. I'd love to get your take as I'm someone who watched in period and also recently rewatched.

acolleirastro from the car podcast could totally be a thing ❤️ can we gift patreon membership somehow?

If any other YouTube creator said they were going to do a Seinfeld vid, I would have voted no. However, I just know your take will be how I would want to hear it, and likely a unique and compelling perspective, so go for it!

You should make that Seinfeld vid! The first video of yours I came across was your Star Trek Picard one, fed to me by the youtube algorithm, which I passed over due to length numerous times before checking your channel out to see if you had a show or movie review that wasn't 4 hours long (since I assumed that was your normal output). I then proceeded to fall in love with your physics videos and here I am! Also please read Hard to Be a God and tell me if you like it! It seems more relevant every day. Thanks!

What would happen if you spilled Bose Einstein Condensate on your hand?

I need to hear your Seinfeld hot takes

Have a good month, enjoy the travel!

Angela - if you think a Seinfeld video would be fun, I think it's reasonable to assume that Patreon will also enjoy it.... Also, we are here to support you making the content that YOU want to make! If you can't make a Seinfeld deep dive on Patreon, where can you make it?!

I rewatched the first few seasons of Seinfeld when it was on Netflix or Amazon. realized that I really liked the earliest 2 seasons or so, but as the characters gelled into their later form I hated them more and more... So I stopped watching. Some funny jokes but I didn't want to watch unlikeable characters anymore. I realize that closes off a lot of TV shows in the prestige era, but eh...

Dr C doing a deep dive on 90s sitcoms is the palate cleanser I didn’t know I needed until just now

I'm envy on you that you (not just you, but everyone who mentioned it) can resist watching the news. To me it's like a burning building, it's way too mesmerizing. The "government funding for science" video was okayish, it's the usual "you should form your opinion after thinking for five minute instead of parroting some random propaganda BS from X" kind of video. I usually run these in the background when my mood is dim.

If you think you have something interesting to say, whether it's about a science topic, a piece of media or whatever, I'm interested in hearing it. That's the whole reason I'm here.

Would love the Seinfeld vid!

I'm a major Seinfeld fan (born in 1943). Also major Angela fan.

Youtube link doesn't work

Video link does not work.

The SpaceX video was awesome and a Seinfeld one sounds fun! Media analysis is my bread and butter and your Picard video was SO GOOD. I re-watch it from time to time and still pick up little details like how the intro perfectly sets up the characters, plotlines, and ideas you come back to later in the video so people who haven't watched the show(s) can still follow along. One of the benefits of a background in writing professional academic papers I guess.

I and everyone I know are with you on the fact the world has gone haywire since January 2025 or November 2024. If you like the movie Electric State, you'll get it when I say, Always remember, Kid Cosmo is your pal!

A Seinfeld video has potential of 1 mi views I believe

I usually just listen. And I really like listening to this feed. If there is video, it'll be playing on one of my side monitors. I won't check the video unless the audio tells me there is something to see.

I've never watched Seinfeld but I hadn't watched Picard either and I loved that video. I'd love it if you read Dawn by Octavia Butler at some point! No pressure though

I can ofc only speak for myself but I'll gladly support your videos, doesn't matter to me if they are public or private. Have fun in NYC!

BEC video shows as private when I click it. Does that mean it's still processing? Anyways, it was a fateful morning this last November that I opened the news, and just thought "I'm done", and I basically haven't opened a news site since. My only social media usage is YT and Strava, so something trickles through, but not a lot. I'm constantly surprised at how positive I'm able to be now that I'm not doomscrolling.

Seinfeld talks would be fun

It looks like the video uploaded but it's set to private instead of unlisted.

I'm the same way with the news, because i'm on social security. so I just listen to audiobooks all day while I do online puzzle games, mathy art, and sit with my cat. .

I’m sure everyone knows by now how shitty he is, but even when you mentioned just the name “Seinfeld” I flinched for a second 😮‍💨😭 A sexual pest and predator and a disgusting genocidal Zionist piece of shit, and somehow I’m yet to hear about him having any drawbacks in his life as consequences 🤷‍♀️ talk about “cancel culture🤪”

I’m really down with whatever format you decide to post, I’m just happy whenever there’s a new video So I hope you’re not stressing yourself too much over this 🙏❤️ Sending you lots of love and support in these unhinged times! Gonna have to keep going one day at a time 🥺 Have a good trip to NYC!

As a millenial who grew up on Seinfeld reruns, I am fully onboard with a Seinfeld video

Haven't watched video yet, but listening to the voice memo I agree that a podcast sounds cool. Perhaps it's time to water this seed. Can't think of any co-hosts that immediately jump to mind though.

A Seinfeld video sounds great actually

omg got excited that we might be getting acollier pod for a moment 😭😂 but this was actually nicer, like getting a voice message from a long distance friend 🥹
