Customer Reviews
Great Conversation Starter
I love these 60-Second podcasts from Scientific American. They're always full of interesting information which is guaranteed to make you sound like the smartest person in the room when you casually throw it into a conversation with friends. This new Psych series sounds promising - the announcer has a great voice!
one of the best minutes of my day
Not sure what andhfhgfhg is on about but he's obviously gone off his meds. This podcast is a little gem and teaches me something new almost every day. Bravo to SciAm for its aggressive podcast strategy.
Psych-O-Licious
I really enjoy this podcast... It's compact running near 2 min., (though I wouldnt mind it to be twice that long), is produced well, the information is very interesting and I enjoy the fact I get something meaty out of it. Oh, and the attitude of the voice artist as well as the overall production is appealing, likeable and professional. Keep up the good work and if anything.... add episodes 'more' often, simply not enough of them. And... you could even double the length and I'd be as pleased as a pea in it's pod. Good job
