Kickstarting a season of monthly Relatively Primes, a great math podcast

Cory Doctorow 8:51 am Wed Feb 24, 2016

Samuel writes, "The mathematics podcast Relatively Prime (previously) is currently running a Kickstarter to fund a third season, this time with monthly episode. The episodes will features stories about how network theory can help better understand cancer, how a marijuana dispensary license lottery is designed, and the act of mathematical vandalism which liberated algebra from the shackles of arithmetic. There really aren't any other mathematics podcasts out there like Relatively Prime and if the Kickstarter is not funded there really won't be any at all."

I love this podcast and hoover up every episode! They're looking for $24k to produce 12 episodes. Pledge $5000 and Samuel will come to your house and do yardwork!
