Power, prestige and fame are often mistaken for fun. On this edition of IEEE Spectrum Radio, Spectrum's editors look at ten technologists who have created a dream career for themselves in engineering. Having a dream job is all about doing the things you love, even if that means disproving urban legends or tracking lions in South Africa.

Listen as Spectrum's Jean Kumagai, Steven Cherry and Glenn Zorpette profile the people they've been following and discuss the wide range of elements which make a dream job. They talks about Myth Busters' Grant Imahara; Manni Wong, who is a Disney Imagineer; Wade Bortz, who hop-scotches around the Pacific's tiny island paradises; and Louis Liebenberg, whose curiosity about tracking animals was strong enough to set him off into the South African bush.
