Giant Leap is a new podcast hosted by nuclear physicist Taylor Wilson and journalist Joey Lovato. Shot in Taylor's lab, the show digs into hard science, big ideas and possible futures by speaking with the people making those futures reality. In between guest episodes, Taylor and Joey will talk about advances in science and technology, or more accurately, Joey will ask Taylor questions and Taylor will answer them.

A few years back, Taylor Wilson snowmobiled into Yellowstone National Park in the dead of winter with Ellen Stofan, then chief scientist of NASA, now undersecretary of science at The Smithsonian. Ellen joins Taylor and Joey to dig into the future of scientific exploration, and what the Smithsonian is exploring--both in the depths of outer space, and here on Earth.
