One of the last interviews Stephen Hawking ever gave was with fellow astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on his podcast, StarTalk. In honor of Hawking’s death, Tyson has made the interview free for anyone to watch. The episode, StarTalk‘s season finale, featured a summary of Hawking’s life and work, mention of his many cameo appearances, and information about his likes and dislikes. Apparently, he loved oysters and Pimm’s.

If anyone can attempt to fill the vacuum that Stephen Hawking left in his wake, it’s Neil deGrasse Tyson. Read ahead for what a Silicon Valley star had to say about Hawking and his influence.
