Professor Dillard Gibson

Host Paul Cuminale is joined by Justin Pallini and resident “bad boy” Dan Perry to examine the strange and controversial life of Professor Dillard Gibson. The panel chronicles Gibson’s rise to prominence among fringe researchers, explores his many eccentricities and unconventional theorems, and attempts to make sense of the long list of malfeasances that ultimately overshadowed his academic career. Along the way, they speculate on what could drive such a brilliant mind toward a life of crime and consider the thin line between genius and complete self-destruction. They cap it all off with a rousing game of “Guess the Star: Astronomer Edition.”
