Customer Reviews
Some good info, but so far hard to listen to.
Give this one a while to come into its own. Science jumps into the podcasting race with an offering that seems to be similar to Nature's podcast. However, Nature went with a real radio personality as host, where science used members of their staff. Unfortunately, these hosts need some "radio lessons." Their delivery is so obviously scripted that they sometimes sound like people uncomfortably giving speeches. When interviewing, their scripted questions (and sometimes scripted answers -- if the whole thing is scripted, it isn't an interview!) miss opportunities to expand upon really interesting points the guests make. The information is good, but the assumed science literacy of the audience is different from segment to segment. They've only done a couple of shows, but at this point I wouldn't listen regularly. They are a good journal, so with work, they will probably have a good podcast.
News on the Cutting Edge of Science
Kudos to the Science podcast!! The short but interesting segments offer news and expert perspectives on cutting edge research and opinions. I enjoy hearing about the current issues that are mentioned in society, and I hope that they will continue to do segments on "hot topics" in the media.
Excellent content, mediocre delivery
This is one of the "smarter" science podcasts; it doesn't shy away from using technical and sometimes esoteric language. This podcast is for scientists who want to find out what scientists in other disciplines are up to. My main gripe with this podcast is that the interviewers sound like they are reading questions from a script. (Often, their pitch rises long before the end of the question.) Otherwise, a solid podcast with lots of interesting content; I will keep listening!
