SARAH HANSEN: Why would MIT students

bring their toenail clippings to class?

And how do 100 people learn how to fly airplanes in three days?

Could a film experience really be

more important than learning quantum physics?

This is Chalk Radio, a podcast about inspired teaching at MIT.

We have conversations with some of the professors

that make some of the most interesting courses

on campus come to life.

The conversations we have with our guests

are candid, funny, serious, and personal.

They're the kind of conversations

you'd have if you bumped into your favorite professor

in the Infinite Corridor and walked with them across campus.

And that's why we're doing this.

We want you to feel like you're right here with us

walking underneath the Dome, experiencing the buzz that

happens when people who love science, learning, and teaching

all come together to think, talk, and dream.

I hope you listen to Chalk Radio.

It's really the closest thing to being here.
