Each episode, Mayla will interview a researcher or scientist about what questions excite them, what questions they’re currently pondering or working on, and the broader impact of these questions. The guests’ specific job and field will not be revealed until the end of the episode, as the point is for listeners to get a picture of the guest based solely on the questions they are asking.
