David Pogue and his quest to make scientific achievements relatable - "The Takeout"
CBSN
David Pogue has a mission for his new podcast series "Unsung Science": to make significant scientific achievements relatable.
The five-time Emmy winner and CBS News "Sunday Morning" correspondent delves into stories like efforts to reduce the spread of deadly mosquitoes, Deep Fake video and audio abuses, and how mRNA vaccines were created.
"The concept is each week we tell the story of the behind-the-scenes story of a breakthrough in science or technology, that is something that everyone's familiar with, but doesn't know who did it, who made it, what the hard parts were, and so on," Pogue told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett in this week's episode of "The Takeout" podcast. "The best episodes are ones where it was not at all sure that the outcome would be a good one, you know, they thought it could flop."
