ABOUT US

The Materialism Podcast was born out of a shared desire between Andrew Falkowski and Taylor Sparks to offer an educational resource for the materials science community. Later joined by audio producer Jared Duffy, the Materialism team records in a small studio at the University of Utah.

The podcast seeks to find a balance between accessible explanations of fundamental concepts and in-depth discussions about advanced materials and techniques. Topics are contextualized using a narrative structure that helps listens understand the critical role that materials have played in society and even glimpse into what the future may hold for new materials.
