    Awesome resource!
    This podcast is an excellent way to stay informed about the amazing work being done by the MIT community
  • Hadley66
    Great podcast, terrible title
    Learning more about the research of some of the world’s most creative scientists and engineers, along with hints about the personal factors that led them to their chosen fields, is a treat. Brief, informative, interesting, BUT the name — Curiosity Unbounded — is the most awkward turn of phrase I’ve heard in ages. Give the podcast a feed of it’s own, removed from the rest of the MIT News audio content, and find a new name.
