Question 18: Have you guys considered doing a show on religion and/or terrorism (obviously considering the scientific aspect of them like Scott Atran’s work)? I’m curious because it’d likely be controversial, of course, but I’m wondering if you guys have given any thought to these timely topics. Thanks, and I love show.

never considered terrorism. but religion seems to worm its way into many of our shows, because i guess that’s one of the places where Robert and I see the world differently. we’ve discussed a show on “evil” but haven’t gotten too far in our thinking.
