I had so much fun interviewing Science Rapper Greydon Square for an episode of our podcast, "Consider the Cosmos." Greydon is an MC, music producer, rap educator, and the leader of the Grand Unified Theory Creative Collective, of which I'm a member. We had a wide-ranging discussion about music, sci-fi, space travel, theoretical physics, Carl Sagan, and Greydon's inspiring life journey. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
