Now it all makes sense...

by annemac

Who would've thought one could understand both Moore's Law and dark matter in just a couple of minutes? I never did! Good stuff -- funny, quick, to the point. Will keep tuning in so I can wow friends with my newfound geek knowledge!

WOW! This is so awesome!

by arra rael

What a great podcast! It completely breaks down complicated ideas into little bite sized chunks that the average joe or jane can easily digest! I can't wait until more of these come out!

60 Second Science Gets Better and Better

by xty70

Brilliant! Topics I'd never understand this fast from anywhere else...not only clear, simple, they also make it funny. Looking forward to more. (And it's REAL people - not some prescribed web host. Awesome.)
