Maths podcasts

[sphenisc]

I've spent a large chunk of our lockdown watching Mathologer, Numberphile and ThreeBlueOneBrown.

They all manage to leave me feeling really clever until about 30 seconds afterwards when I couldn't even attempt to explain what I just watched.

So
a) any recommendations for podcasts in a similar vein.
b) how do I go about getting more out of the ones I'm watching.

Cheers

Take notes. Watch them twice. I can recommend several science based channels if you wish. Try this one for starters

b) how do I go about getting more out of the ones I'm watching.

There is also the channel Numberphile2 (and I think Mathologer2) which is a second channel with more in-depth videos. The videos on Numberphile are cut-down versions with the rest of the video appearing as a companion video on the Numberphile2 channel. I think it's similar with the Mathologer channel.

my favorite podcast has an occasional Math segment:

brace yourselves, everyone
Paul is doing Kentucky Math

An amusing geometry problem that stumped the ancients and even Galileo.



Youtuber is an Aussie, btw.

You have the top ones. The production values go down after that. There are a lot of good tutorials, but that is a bit different from the channels you mentioned.

You might want to check out Singing Banana and Stand-up Maths. You can see them working together here to demonstrate that they are anti-psychic.
