Pint of Science Podcast E11: Special with Randall Munroe, author and XKCD cartoonist!
Welcome back to a very special episode of the Pint of Science podcast! We had a chance to catch up with XKCD creator and author of 'How To' and 'Thing Explainer' Randall Munroe. Like this episode? Please share it with your friends and on social media! Randall is the brains and artistic hand behind https://xkcd.com/. His website gets some 70 million hits a month, and is a huge presence online, especially among communities on Reddit. He also has a book out, How To, which explains how to do everyday things in wildly inappropriate but scientifically valid ways. He was kind enough to give us his time as he passed through Manchester on the How To book tour, so we took him to Pint of Science Podcast favourite The Salutation Pub. The Pint of science podcast meets scientists and science writers in pubs around the UK to find out about their lives, their universe, and everything. From *how* fruit flies love to *why* humans love, via jumping into volcanoes, winning Olympic medals, where we came from and more! Like what we do?
