In case anyone is interested: here's a podcast I did with Vaden Masrani and Ben Chugg, who have a podcast series called Increments. The series is dedicated to philosopher Karl Popper and the critical rationalism he launched, but the omnivorous Masrani has also a deep and wide passion for Nabokov, who has been featured regularly on the series. They have also done an episode on my On the Origin of Stories: Evolution, Cognition, and Fiction, apparently. For this new episode they wanted to focus mainly on the Popper biography, but as I didn't want to steal my own thunder or to have to formulate tricky ideas orally that I haven't yet resolved in written form, I asked if we could focus more on Nabokov, with side-glimpses of Popper.
