Customer Reviews
A Delight
This fantastic show is produced in Australia, but takes a worldwide approach to science news. Robyn William's vast knowledge on seemingly every subject (and his humor) make every article a joy to listen to. My only disappointment is that I've missed thirty years of this wonderful show.
Excellent
One of the best science shows there is. Truly fascinating subject matter and a charming host. Thanks ABC
Essential
I have been a listener in the UK for 7 years and this has provided some of the most memorable radio moments of my life. Great science coverage with a sense of humour.
