Name Taken Podcast: Who Else Out There Is Named Michael Marshall?
According to the US Census records there are at least 2900 Americans that share my full name (Michael Marshall). Unsurprisingly there are many more across the greater English-speaking world. So, I decided to set out and interview the other Michael Marshalls to see what they're all like. Why not right? And it's actually been a riot. Michael Marshalls are rad! Among us are authors, pro athletes, activists, journalists, artists, really cool dads, architects, carpenters, inventors, actors and so much more. Each week I speak to a different Michael Marshall about their own experiences as well as their shared experience of our name.

I interview former science writer for New Scientist and the BBC Michael Marshall about his career highlights. In particular we hop down a variety of rabbit holes reflecting on the role technology plays in being a Michael Marshall or having a common name. We also get deep into the the details behind Michael's new book 'The Genesis Quest', a popular scientific history about the study of life's origins on Earth.
