Customer Reviews
great!
I'm surprised noone has reviewed this podcast yet. Its classic Dr Karl - informative, funny, interesting, all with a twist. One of the best science podcasts out there.
Dr. Karl - He's the best.
Having moved from Australia to the USA one thing I missed was Dr Karl. His books are great, and these podcasts are awesome. So glad I can get my Dr. Karl fix here in the US without having to deal with streaming audio!!!
Great podcast!
Dr. Karl always does a terrific job. Thanks for the great work.
