Worth the time!
This is a great podcast. You don't need any special background knowledge, but the guests are very educational and from all over the world. The host is great at moving interviews along so the conversation don't drag and he asks plenty of questions to clarify for listeners. Very cool!
Great
What's not to love: a wide variety of interesting topics, it's super-informative and it's great that you can either download the entire show or segments. Thanks!
Show is great but . . .
I have been listening to the show for a few months and found the content both interesting and informative. The show is also entertaining and easy to listen to. My older kids love it. Unfortunately in the last few weeks it has been almost impossible to listen to it because it constantly crashes my IPOD. Only a few of the segments work and those that do often crash before you can listen to whole thing. I first thought this was only a glitch of some sort but it has become the norm. Until the program is fixed, find another science show.
