Customer Reviews
Not 60 Seconds?
Ok, why is this called 60 second Earth if it's not 60 seconds?..... I'll give it a 5 just because I'm in a good mood.
Agenda Science
A political, not science, commentary by the podcaster. So far, not so good. Unlike the other 60 Second Science podcasts from Scientific American, this did a poor job in examining either the scientic issues or political issues at stake in the upcoming election.
Quite nice
As with the other sixty-second (or so) podcasts, this one does a good job of briefly raising scientific issues in terms that lay people can understand. If it's political, so be it - environmental preservation is a political issue, one that political leaders have addressed very poorly in recent years.
