This is an excellent podcast and deserves five stars. Unfortunately, I had to remove a star because Dr Aderin-Pocock talks at 1.3x speed! She is difficult to understand at best and a distraction to the discussion at worst. I hope before next season someone will work with her on cadence and...Read full review »

Very much enjoying all the interviews and getting the science explained and meeting the cast. Great job.

Impossible to listen when one of the hosts speaks so quickly. It’s completely bizarre.

Why drop all the episodes at once and then have a weekly companion podcast? I had to find the answers I was looking for weeks ago from other sources.

the rest of the season?

While the podcast is good, like some others I finished the season several weeks ago and would really have liked this discussion closer to the airing of the episodes. There are so many complicated issues and human stories, it would have been more helpful then.

I had to stop listening when on Ep 3 they started talking about crackpot conspiracy theories like UAP and the nonsens the UFO community is trying to introduce as something with some credibility. I do have to say that the first two episodes were pretty good. It was fun to learn about the cultural...Read full review »

But I don’t understand why it wasn’t explained that the story of little red riding hood is called a fictional story and is used for entertainment purposes. So how would those aliens feel about actors? Would they be the worst form of liars? It should have been explained by Mike Evans — he should...Read full review »

This universal podcast is alive and they are in the know, wink, wink! A wonderful, cultural, educational and in depth look at the journey of the story, methodology and inspiration of the episodes and where necessary the books. The hosts are always entertaining, their fandom is very appealing and...Read full review »

I empathize with the difficulty of English speakers pronouncing pin yin. But worth it for the hosts to take the time to learn the right way in this audio format. Otherwise, love the books and Netflix show and excited to hear more

In Episode 3 of this podcast, the hosts asks whether the former CIA agent whether the CIA is concerned with “intergalactic” threats to the earth. Do the hosts (and the guest) understand the difference between “intergalactic” and “interstellar?”

Jittery, chaotic hosts speaking a bit too fast. You’re neglecting your international audience, Netflix! Show is saved for me thanks to the guests!

I had no idea this was the Netflix review with the title of the podcasts. I thought it was the book or some class. Great with Jason as usual, but I think a lot of people don’t know this is for Netflix. I only found it on my fourth search and read a little deeper.

Jung Chang has too specific a political axe to grind it won’t be fun to reduce this drama to her agenda. Other than that it is a very good show so a pity that you let someone like that speak as an authority.

Dr Maggie and Jason are wonderful hosts, sharing their enthusiasms while leaving plenty of space for their guests. The guests are well chosen to illuminate the themes of the show, from scientific concepts to film production and character development. This could easily be as big as Game of...Read full review »

In the first episode, the segment with Woo, Weiss, and Benioff was great, as was the interview with a survivor of the cultural revolution. I almost stopped listening whenever one of the hosts tried unsuccessfully to pronounce Ye Wenjie’s name. It’s not “Yay Whingy” or “Yeee Win-jeee”. Especially...Read full review »

Enjoying the show, but the host of this podcast is just too shouty. My ears were bleeding by the time I got to the end of the podcast. Please just review the episode, discuss what’s happening and what you think is going on. There’s no need to be loud, brash and shouty in an attempt to be funny...Read full review »

Looking forward to an interview with the original author, Cixin Liu

Hope we get into details and explain the physics of the story in layman’s terms. Annoying when Dr. Popcock says regarding the fatal beating that he was “literally thrown under the bus “…which of course he wasn’t. She also says Einstein was responsible for helping “make the nuclear bomb..”. Makes...Read full review »

Why would an alien civilization and foe allow any efforts to progress at all if they had the technological advancement, superiority, and capability to stop them?

I pretty much watch and read anything Jason recommends ever since X Ray Vision. This show is amazing so far and I’m very thankful to have two excellent hosts hold my hand through the more complicated scientific aspects of this story and plot. So much to unpack and dive into! My dog walks just got...Read full review »

Concepcion does it again. Excellent way to follow along with the show.
