It's been a wonderful and amazing run--thanks so much for listening!
1We welcome science book author Mary Roach back to the show to catch up and talk about how the past year has affected her research and book writing.

What are your hopes for this show and the slate of Star Wars shows going forward?
We're joined by one of our favorite people in the world this week--maker and YouTuber Laura Kampf! We catch up with Laura about her recent projects, moving workshops, hardware organization, and what it's like to work in shop on the countryside.

With just two more episodes to go in the second season of The Mandalorian, we get together for an extended spoilercast discussion of the season so far, going episode by episode to discuss our favorite moments, reveltations, and portrayals.

Jesus christ, how could u have this person on the podcast??? This is the only episode I had to skip, as the prospect of jamming sharpened chopsticks in my eardrums became more and more appetizing.
Soooo, I wonder when Adam is going to address the allegations that he was a “rape blob” and raped his sister for years when she was a kid???
p.s. what kind of idiot needs a book to teach them how to not be racist?
I support BLM and deplore police violence towards anyone, minority or otherwise. I do not support rioters looting private businesses under the guise of righteousness nor do I support censoring someone on Twitter because you don't agree with their political alignment. get bent.
favorite episode so far
Related to the Gallipoli discussion Norm says it was in Italy, it was actually on the coast of Turkey.
The Raid is my favorite movie!
Thank you for doing what you love. You are often the eyes and ears for the subjects that we love.
Someone please fix the audio. Adam is often very low volume and everyone else is loud. I often find myself raising the volume when Adam is talking only to be blown out when everyone else starts talking. It's almost as if Adam doesn't talk into the mic all the time. Can't be that though since he is a seasoned professional.
Meh
why are they uploaded backwards
Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project is an excellent source of commentary on the latest film, progressive political, and technological news. The hosts, Adam, Will, and Norm, are always working on exciting projects/presentations/events/etc, and are often joined by guests working on their own unique creations. If you're looking for a lighthearted, nerdy podcast that's socially conscious and atmospherically friendly, look no further!
love tested and love mythbusters and Will, Norm and Adam are great every episode, keep up the great work. and always be testing
Love the insights into Adam's life. Topics are interesting and fun. Great length as well.
This weeks episode is full of great advice. Adam, Norman, and Will put it in plain words how slacking will not help you succeed.
