Today’s release is the second experiment in making audio versions of our articles.

The first was a narration of Greg Lewis’ terrific problem profile on ‘Reducing global catastrophic biological risks’, which you can find on the podcast feed just before episode #74 - that is, our interview with Greg about the piece.

If you want to check out the links in today’s article, you can find those here.

And if you have feedback on these, positive or negative, it’d be great if you could email us at podcast@80000hours.org.
