Customer Reviews
Much needed podcast
This is just the kind of podcast I've been looking for. Sure, podcasts and radio shows exist to tell us that human space travel to the moon wasn't possible 40 years ago and that Mars has a spacecraft as one of its moons, but now and then it's nice to hear what scientists actually know about these things. Dr. Stuart Robbins is well spoken and his podcast, while in its infancy, seems to be efficient and easy to listen to. I'm very much looking forward to future podcasts from him. Especially one covering the moon hoax conspiracy.
I like!
Really enjoyed the first two so far. I hope to see as much detail into the science involved as possible. Seems like it will only get better as the host gets more familiar with podcasting and as the listening base grows
Well done, and thank you!
This is a great podcast. Dr. Robbins is doing a great service. I love that he uses psuedoscience as a springboard to explain actual science. I hope that he expands his 'cast, perhaps to include guest interviews, for example. I hope he steps out of "Pseudoastronomy" and gets into the (related) popular misuse of Quantum Mechanics some day.
Again, many thanks!
