Awesome

Love this show!

Some reviewers may have felt a sense of competition between the host and some guests. Well, that’s just comes with the territory, it’s energetic conversation that moves the discussion forward and many time goes beyond the question.

Scientists challenge each other all the time, that’s how science progresses.
