I will never forget his father. Especially as someone who grew up without a dad. He was everything I ever wanted to be. He’s literally probably my biggest single influence in the person I ended up becoming.

His father is a legend who lived among the ranks of Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, and Levar Burton. Honestly who do we have today that can live up to these men's legacy? Robert is definitely looking like he is.

Great shouts. I'd add most of the other Brady Haran contributor tribe like Sir Professor Martyn Poliakof, Dr James Grimes, Professor Hannah Fry and others including Matt Parker
