I'm dreaming that someone will remake Connections some day. The quality of the recordings are quite bad, and while I think retelling the stories with a new production would be great in itself, I'm sure there's many new stories that could be told with additional research.

I think Robert Murray-Smith would be a great host. He has some of the same energy as Burke and he has some history-related videos on YouTube that has some of the same style of storytelling.

Kathy Joseph would be great for the research side. Her book "The Lightning Tamers" is pretty good at describing some of these weird connections and interesting stories throughout the history of electricity.
