A from a mathematical viewpoint rather unprofessional claim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww) made considerable waves in the community of math-interested viewers, leading newspaper articles, rebuttal videos and small-scale shitstorms. The whole issue is summarized here: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/great-debate-over-whether-1234-112-180949559/ I think it is worth putting that info at least as a small note with accompanying links in the article.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. —Granger (talk · contribs) 09:37, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

In the list of mathematicians to have appeared on the Youtube channel Numberphile, add Japanese mathematician Tadashi Tokieda (known for his collection of videos known as "Tadashi's toys"). MThompson1995 (talk) 00:39, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Add details of Numberphile Podcast

Brady has recently started another podcast, the Numberphile Podcast. Blog post detailing it and providing links is here: https://www.bradyharanblog.com/blog/the-numberphile-podcast

Given he now co-hosts three separate podcasts, it could warrant separating them from the YouTube channels in a new subheading.
