Summary

We recently visited Dr. James Steele, Dr. “Pak”, and Milo Wolf at Solent University to film some of their research methods and interview them about the innovative, high-quality approaches they take.

0:42.9	than you. The only thing you can do is try to assert some dominance in your podcast hosting
0:47.7	position in a video screen on a camera. And I think we've done that and it's clear that that's not
0:52.6	an attempt to, you know, compensate for anything.
0:57.3	So definitely not. And let me just say, James, I feel terrible because in this episode today we're about attack science and justifiably so. And we have no personal grudges against this. I actually already feel they have a comrade in arms because I see this man
