Neil deGrasse Tyson | Your Personal Astrophysicist

On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson from the Hayden Planetarium.  It was a great chat where we discussed his new book, “Welcome to The Universe in 3D: A Visual Tour.”  We also discussed his origin story, his favorite sci-fi and more - including the chance meeting and collaboration with Seth MacFarlane that brought Cosmos back to TV.  Neil is a great educator and guide to many that like to look up to the sky for inspiration.  It was a pleasure to talk story with the dynamic personality that is “Your Personal Astrophysicist”, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
