Note! Near the top of his talk, Jad showed the first five minutes from Harris Savides' (RIP) film "Birth." We've edited this down to ~30 seconds in this audio file, and here's a short excerpt of the movie clip to give you a taste of what the audience was watching. (The full five minutes continue in much the same manner.)
Also, the session wraps with a spontaneous singalong inspired by this Radiolab story. Memorable, to say the least!
