Yes, and I am looking forward to reading his new book when it comes out next week.

Hi Ginger --
Have you thought about having Prof. Robert Sapolsky of Stanford as a guest? I listened to his Teaching Company course and it was great.

Yes! Sapolsky would be wonderful. He is one of my favorite scientists. Very likeable and makes the content he is teaching interesting and delightful.

I definitely second that.

I agree that Robert Sapolsky would be a great guest. I am hoping he will publish a new book soon.

Dr. Campbell, thank you for creating these podcasts. I find the ones about memory and working memory especially helpful to me in the classroom. I really enjoyed the interview with Dr. Scott Littenfeld and the neuropsychologists in the podcast about the brain and magic. Can you provided more podcasts about cognitive memory, and ways to help children in the classroom? Thank you:)
