Ethics. It touches on every other subject.
I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation
Carl Sagan or Richard Feynman talking about physics or astronomy.
Feynman. No question.
Food. I love cooking and baking and recipe planning and eating and thinking about food and talking about food
I’m going to metagame this one and say “current events”.
‘history’ maybe even more apt as even or estimations of the future are based on it

I’d listen to the Verizon commercial guy explain how if he can hear me now, that it’s good. A simple subject, a search for truth. Is it good to always be able to hear someone? I don’t know, yet. This is the kind of Hell I can get behind, just me and that sorry son of a bitch. Decades, millennia—CAn yOu HeaR Me nOW?

Warhammer. There is so much lore and battle reports out there you could fill your life.
Also I am being cheeky by not specifying Fantasy or 40K so I get both.
Touhou lore I think.
Link for people who don’t know what it is?
Do we get to pick the person? I’d say Nigella Lawson talking about cooking.
Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.
My husband talking about something he’s passionate about and makes him happy. It doesn’t matter what, I love how excited he gets when he’s explaining something that matters to him.
Story telling I’d ask them to improvise or use known stories to give me examples, I now have stories for a lifetime
Sam Harris about moral philosophy.
I find his reasoning to be incredibly logical and easy to follow. On top of that he has a really pleasant voice.
Trains.
My kid is a train kid, I’m already listening to it non-stop, I won’t make things worse for me or him.
Hello fellow parent. I feel your anguish. I have star wars and dinosaurs. Tbh I’m not even mad, most of the times… I’d just need some more time in the morning before the uninterrupted stream of words!
Exactly. He’s turning into a Lego kid, but uh, did you know that Lego has trains? (They recently put out a gorgeous Oriental Express train that even I want now.). My biggest gripe about trains is they take up so so so much space.
I am excited for his teenage years for when he wants to sleep in and I get to wake him up.
But today is Christmas, and if you celebrate, Merry Christmas. (Mine is waking now, and it’s 430 am, time to stall him for 2 hours, as my daily gift to momma)
