The Scientific American podcast features Justin Siegel from UC Davis. He's leading the research team, and is another product of the Baker Lab. He was a lead author of "Increased Diels-Alderase activity through FoldIt player guided backbone remodeling", Nature Biotechnology 2012: 30: 190-192 DOI: 10.1038/nbt.2109. (That paper also cited "Foldit players", or at least "Players F", as an author, along with Drs. Cooper, Baker, and Popovich.)

Sadly, the BBC in its finite wisdom limits the time you can listen to its World Service broadcasts online. The interview with Dr. Shapiro and Susume are now in the digital dustbin.

I was able to capture Susume's interview using a technically flawed (really horrible) speaker-to-microphone method. I'll put out a transcript in the near future.
