This week on the GeekWire radio show and podcast, we’re revisiting a few of our favorite guest segments with highlights from some of our most interesting interviews over the past several months.

Matt Harding: Even if you don’t recognize Matt Harding’s name, you’ve probably seen one of his videos. He’s the globetrotting YouTube star behind the site WhereTheHellisMatt.com. His videos, showing him dancing with people in countries around the world, have been viewed millions upon millions of times. (Hear the full interview on the original episode: Aug. 4, 2012.)

Graafstra, the author of the book RFID Toys, explains how he uses the tags, how he responds to critics, and where he thinks RFID is headed long term. (Original episode: Aug. 17, 2012.)
Adam Bruckner, professor of aeronautics and astronautics at the University of Washington.
