ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Curiously is a podcast about questions—how we ask them, where they lead, and what we discover along the way.
Host Dustin Grinnell talks with scientists, doctors, artists, and everyday thinkers about sleep, health, imagination, space, therapy, technology, and the search for meaning.
If you’ve ever wondered how science connects to real life, or how people make sense of uncertainty and complexity, Curiously offers context, insight, and new ways of thinking about the questions that matter most.

I’ve always been attuned to movie scores. The way a piece of music can deepen a moment, shift an atmosphere, or quietly break your heart without a single word of dialogue. So I decided to do something a little different. I put together a special radio edition of Curiously, recorded live at the Dale…

There’s an old idea that explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you come away understanding how it works, but the joke dies in the process. Naturally, I decided that was worth spending an hour on.

Can writing be taught? It’s one of the oldest arguments in literary culture, and every year, thousands of writers bet their time, money, and creative confidence that the answer is yes.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV shows was The Magic School Bus. In one episode, Ms. Frizzle shrinks the class down and takes them inside the human body to learn about the immune system.

When we think of imagination, we assume it’s reserved for creatives: painters and poets, actors and musicians. But the truth is, we use our imagination almost constantly: anytime we reminisce, anticipate, plan, or daydream. Research suggests we spend between a quarter and half of our waking hours w…
We all know the basics for sleep: put your phone away, create a bedtime routine, avoid caffeine, keep the room cool. We’ve heard it a thousand times. And yet, one in eight Americans has chronic insomnia, and over half report frequent sleep difficulties. So, what’s the disconnect? Why do we know wha…
Most of us spend our lives pretending we have forever. We push off difficult conversations, delay dreams, and take tomorrow for granted. But the truth is, we don’t have forever. We have about 3,200 weeks, according to average life expectancy. Knowing this can make us work a little harder, love a li…
Beer has been part of the human story for millennia. It helped fuel debates in revolutionary taverns, followed soldiers to war, brought strangers together in colonial alehouses and modern taprooms. From the Founding Fathers’ home brews to today’s experimental IPAs, beer has been a constant companio…
I’ve always believed that the questions we ask reveal as much about us as the answers we give. So when I had the chance to set up a booth at the MIT Museum’s 2025 Cambridge Science Carnival, I brought one question with me: “If science could solve one problem for humanity in the next 50 years, what …
There’s something both terrifying and oddly comforting about knowing we have four billion years left. The sun will expand, swallow Earth, and explode. We need to leave. The question isn't whether we should go, but how we'll survive once we do.
I’ve always been drawn to stories about humanity’s futu…
