This inaugural episode of The Privatdozent Podcast is based on the May 19th 2021 newsletter ‘The Unparalleled Genius of John von Neumann‘. Read by Steve King, the episode aims to highlight some of the unbelievable feats of “Johnny” von Neumann’s mind.
I think Johnny is one of the finest specimens our species has ever produced and he has always been the most fascinating scientific figure to me. I've read Norman Macrae's biography of John von Neumann and recently purchased his daughter's book The Martian's Daughter: A Memoir and his selected letters edited by Miklós Rédei. Wish to see more contents about Johnny here :)
