Question: An American theoretical physicist who worked in particle physics and cosmology, she was also known as the Frank B. Baird, Jr., was a former guest on a podcast that was described as "a think tank promoting science, reason, and secular values in public policy and at the grass roots"; when was that podcast started?

Abraham (Avi) Loeb is an American theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology.  Loeb is the "Frank B. Baird Jr.  Professor of Science" at Harvard University.  He serves as Chair of the "Harvard Astronomy department", Chair of the Advisory Committee for the "Breakthrough Starshot" project - which aims to launch lightweight spacecraft towards the nearest stars using a powerful laser, founding director of Harvard's "Black Hole Initiative" - the first interdisciplinary center worldwide dedicated to the study of black holes and director of the "Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC)" within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.  Loeb is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Physical Society, and the International Academy of Astronautics, as well as Vice Chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies.  Within Harvard, Loeb serves on the President's Task Force on Diversity and Belonging, the Provost's Allston Academic Planning Committee, and the FAS Dean's Faculty Resources Advisory Committee.  In December 2012, "TIME" magazine selected Loeb as one of the 25 most influential people in space.  In 2015, Loeb was appointed as the Science Theory Director for the Breakthrough Initiatives of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. <SEP> The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a U.S. nonprofit public policy think tank based out of Washington, D.C. The organization focuses on public policies that spur technology innovation.  The University of Pennsylvania rates ITIF the most authoritative science and technology think tank in the United States, and the second most authoritative science and technology think tank in the world, behind Germany's Max Planck Institutes.  Ars Technica has described ITIF as "one of the leading, and most prolific, tech policy think tanks." <SEP> Point of Inquiry is the radio show and flagship podcast of the Center for Inquiry (CFI), "a think tank promoting science, reason, and secular values in public policy and at the grass roots".  Started in 2005, "Point of Inquiry" has consistently been ranked among the best science podcasts available in iTunes.  It has been celebrated for its guests and for the quality of its interviews.  Former guests include leading scientists, writers and public intellectuals such as Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Paul Krugman, Lisa Randall, Brian Greene, Oliver Sacks, Susan Jacoby, David Brin and Temple Grandin. <SEP>  She is the Frank B. Baird, Jr.  Professor of Science on the physics faculty of Harvard University. Lisa Randall (born June 18, 1962) is an American theoretical physicist working in particle physics and cosmology.  Her research includes elementary particles, fundamental forces and extra dimensions of space.  She studies the Standard Model, supersymmetry, possible solutions to the hierarchy problem concerning the relative weakness of gravity, cosmology of extra dimensions, baryogenesis, cosmological inflation, and dark matter.  She contributed to the Randall–Sundrum model, first published in 1999 with Raman Sundrum.
