If one is to understand “the great mystery” one must study all it's aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the force.

The mechanics that rule over that cassette spinning make no sense. Oh wait now I get: the right side is almost empty (pulls) and the left is rolling the rest of the tape.

Equitable. A word I never want to hear related to science. Thank god you’re all women. So inclusive. Genuinely I can’t believe this, I hoped that this type of thought process and treating people like they are children (talking to them like that as well) had damaged the less practical universities only. Turns out rather than realising the value of hand on experience, they want to make the separation from practical workers and engineers to theoretical peeps even larger. Unbelievable. Basically saying “we don’t look for anything, other than the fact they are a minority..” wow.

From what I can tell, it seems like the target audience for this podcast is a general public audience, particularly including people who are unfamiliar with the field of material science. So the scaffolding happening here-explaining in general terms that are really accessible for a broad audience, before delving into specific aims of the program, seems well suited to what I take to be this podcast's purpose. On the equity and inclusion side, I'm hearing in the episode itself an explanation for why that approach and that focus has the potential to bring value to the field of material science. I brought to this conversation the awareness of how medicine was transformed by finally including more women as researchers and physicians, something touched on here as well, and I gather that the idea here is that even beyond the social justice reasons for expanding access to the field, there may potentially be tangible gains, even transformative ones, to be found by taking a field that had only had self-selected participants and purposely working to bring other kinds of worldviews, brought by different individuals with different experiences, into the fold. I don't really take this episode to be condescending in tone or the program's aim to be harmful to anyone or any group. It seems not just benign but potentially very beneficial, imo.
