Hello everyone, welcome to the December 2025 Ask Me Anything edition of the Mindscape podcast. I'm your host, Sean Carroll. A little bit later in the month than usual with the AMA, but there's a whole bunch of things that happened in the scheduling of a podcast. As as many of you know, uh, it's just me here. There's no team, there's no social media apparatus, there's no editor, it's just
Me doing all the podcasts, which I like it that way. I can control everything. Um, but sometimes you just have to juggle things and the AMAs came out a little bit late. As as longtime listeners know, at the end of the year, uh next week you'll get a little holiday message from me, kind of a mini solo episode, and then we go dark for the one week. uh that is sort of right after Christmas, I guess, this year.
I forget exactly what it is, but other than the holiday message next week, the next you'll hear from me is regular episodes coming in January, and there's no AMA in January for that reason, because we're taking off uh the holidays. So the next AMA will be in February. Uh so there's this one. And I don't have a lot to say to get into it. I just have two quick things to say.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (217 minutes, 40,416 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
