Does anybody watch these? They're super interesting. Some are straight science, others are just: 'holy shit that was cool'.

Essentially, somebody who is an 'expert' in something comes and talks to people about that. Anything from Nintendo Wii's to wingsuit flying to geckos.

What i found cool was not everyone were public speakers. They got people that just knew what they were doing to come talk even if they weren't great at doing it in front of big crowds. The wingsuit flying one is a perfect example.
