Laura Deutsch and I met at the free-wheeling and thought-provoking Tucson Science of Consciousness conference this past April. It's held at the gorgeous Loews Ventana Resort, in the heart of saguaro country, with canyons, puffy clouds, prickly cactus, and road runners all around.

There are also really great talks and discussions and after Laura and I realized we had a shared love of noodling the nature of time (and reality more generally, of course), we decided to try a podcast interview. We really enjoyed it and we hope you like it too.
