When it comes to sleep, most of us know what to do, we just don’t do it. We know we should put our phones down, create a bedtime routine, and skip the late-day caffeine. Yet one in eight Americans has chronic insomnia, and over half report frequent sleep difficulties. So what’s the disconnect?

In this episode, I sit down with Morgan Adams, a certified sleep coach who spent years battling insomnia herself. After two breast cancer diagnoses forced her to take her health seriously, Morgan cracked the science of sleep and created her SleepEasy Method™, an approach that’s helped countless people escape the insomnia trap.

Together, we explore what’s really getting in the way of good sleep, the misconceptions that keep us stuck, and the practical, sustainable solutions that actually work, beyond the advice we’ve all heard a thousand times.

What can the dying teach us about living well? In this episode, I sit down with Micaelah Morrill, a death doula who helps people and families navigate the final chapter of life with grace and meaning. We met at a Death Café, an open forum where strangers talk honestly about mortality, loss, and what it means to make peace with death.

Our conversation explores what it’s like to sit beside the dying, the lessons we can learn from their most common regrets, and how confronting mortality can bring clarity to the way we live. If you’ve ever wondered how to live more intentionally—or how to find peace after loss—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we step inside Boston’s Aeronaut Brewing Co. with head brewer Mark Bowers for a behind-the-scenes look at how great craft beer comes to life.

Mark shares his journey from PhD chemist to brewmaster, and together we explore the artistry and science of brewing — from the evolution of IPAs and experimental recipes to the equipment, techniques, and philosophy (“brewed with curiosity and backed by science”) that fuel Aeronaut’s unique beers. As we sample our way through lagers, IPAs, seltzers, and sours, we uncover why beer has remained a cornerstone of human connection since colonial times.

At this year’s Cambridge Science Carnival, hosted by the MIT Museum, I set up with one big question: “If science could solve one problem for humanity in the next 50 years, what would you choose—and why?”

Fourteen curious minds, from ages 11 to 64, took the mic to share their answers. From eliminating waste and ensuring clean water, to achieving world peace and even resurrecting dinosaurs, their responses reflect a wide spectrum of hopes, challenges, and dreams for our future.

In this special live episode of Curiously, I bring you their voices, their ideas, and even my own take on this thought-provoking question.

In this episode, we’re venturing far beyond Earth with geneticist and computational biologist, Christopher E. Mason, author of The Next 500 Years: Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds. In his ambitious and fascinating book, Dr. Mason argues that humanity has a moral obligation to safeguard life by expanding into space, and he lays out a 500-year roadmap to make it possible. From genetic engineering to deep-space missions, his vision challenges us to rethink what it means to be human, and how far our creativity and science can take us.

In this episode, I’m trying something new with the podcast: more conversation, less script. Inspired by the “Talk of the Table” format from morning shows, I wanted to see what would happen if I stepped out from behind the interview questions and just reacted in real time on timely and topical subjects.

To experiment, I brought back past guest Katie Concannon, who many listeners liked for her humor and authenticity. Armed with topics that grabbed our attention, we went back and forth: sharing takes, trading stories, and letting the conversation flow wherever it wanted. It’s timely, spontaneous, and a chance for you to get to know us a better.

If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what’s out there, or why it matters, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Dr. Dan Coe, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins’ Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) to talk about the origins of the universe, the search for extraterrestrial life, dark matter, and the role of AI in space science. We also explore something even bigger: how to find meaning in a universe where we often feel small.

At STScI—the operational home of both the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes—Dan helps unlock some of the deepest cosmic mysteries. He splits his time between studying distant galaxies with his team, Cosmic Spring, and supporting fellow astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRSpec instrument.

Our conversation began at STScI’s mission control and ended over beers at a local pub. Throughout, Dan brought not just insight, but kindness—a trait that turns out to be a theme in both his science and his worldview. Learn more about his work here.

Today, more than ever, we find ourselves in front of a camera—whether it’s a Zoom meeting at work, a video podcast, or content for social media. We live in a visual age, and if you don’t stand out on camera, your message may not reach your audience.

This episode explores how to show up effectively on camera and why it matters. I talk with my friend Anthony Thomas—actor, model, video podcast host, and YouTuber—who shares valuable tips to help anyone improve their on-camera presence. This conversation isn’t just for actors or public figures. In today’s world, the ability to engage on camera is essential for making an impact.
