Robyn Williams in conversation with Richard Dawkins, or is that Emma Watson?

Richard Dawkins, apart from being the popular face of atheism, is a highly regarded scientist. Recently Dawkins spoke to Robyn Williams about the ideas underpinning his new book, The Greatest Show on Earth, in particular the intricacies, patterns and anomalies produced by the process of evolution. Dawkins then takes further questions from the audience about the theory of evolution, genetic determinism, the climate change denial movement and the place of religion in the world of science.

This video below comes courtesy of SlowTV, a free internet TV channel delivering interviews, debates, conversations and public lectures about Australia's key political, social and cultural issues. It is produced by The Monthly and there is an impressive amount of science content. You can subscribe via podcast. Before taking in the video however, have you ever seen Emma Watson and Richard Dawkins in the same place?

The rest of the series can be seen at SlowTV. I reviewed Dawkins's book The God Delusion a few years back - I think my thoughts on the topic have probably evolved since then.

    1. My roommate saw me watching a match without cable and asked how. I told him it's worth trying Xuper TV—sent him the download page. He sideloaded it that evening and texted me at halftime saying the 4K streams were insane. Now he's hooked and won't go back to paid services.

  7. A friend with a Samsung smart TV hated YouTube lagging on big derbies. He tried Yassine TV sideloaded via Downloader, gets live matches directly on the big screen in full HD. Multi-language options, backup links if one dies. Family loves it for weekend games—no more cable bills.
