To Australians of a certain age, Adam Spencer will always be the guy from the Triple J breakfast show. For six years from 1999, he and Wil Anderson started their day with the national youth broadcaster, before Spencer went to helm that prime-time slot on 702 ABC Sydney.
Outside his radio gigs, Spencer is a self-described maths geek who has written seven books on the endless possibilities of numbers.

The pair plan to discuss spacey topics like the likelihood of discovering other life on other planets.
