I found this video very strange, it looks heavily cut, with an odd conversation that comes across as a bit awkward and forced

As a professional interviewer and reporter, I agree that the production values and the questions were poor. But as a form of marketing and a way to connect to the Nobel "minds" through the web, it's not a bad first step to a more richer program.

AMAZING and inspiring.

I didn’t like the host or the questions at all. I feel as if had they just put all the scientists in a room and speak about whatever they felt like talking about, it would have been richer, more human, and more enlightening

Couldn't agree more, by the end it was readily apparent that the host was on a strict time schedule and was required to talk with each Nobel laureate about their specific work.

A real loss considering that some of the conversations were just heading somewhere interesting before they got cut off.

As far as I can tell, this was aired by Swedish TV as "Snillen spekulerar" (they have been doing a programme like this every year since approximately the dawn of TV time), and by the BBC as "Nobel Minds". So, it has to fit into a TV schedule slot, and be appropriate for a general audience, not just science nerds.

Yes, the original title of the post included Nobel Minds 2018, but it was modified to emphasize the description. I discovered the Nobel Minds series a few years ago. I think last year's was better, but I agree, the episodes can be hit or miss. They should let Joe Rogan do the interviews -- he's been interviewing a bunch of leading scientists of late (Sir Roger Penrose a couple weeks ago) -- Rogan's our modern day Charlie Rose -- he let's them talk and it evolves into interesting conversations.
