“Sorry Chris Smith but you aren’t a patch on Rhod Sharp and the whole show misses Dr Karl like the third wheel on a Reliant Robin!
It pains me to say it but I find the now desert dry presentation and it’s more brassy / bright sonic tone so off putting.
The lovely late night homeliness of Rhod...”Read full review »

“I generally like the host but he does sometimes put his own knowledge/understanding above that of the expert. Really just showing off. But my blood boiled when he asked Prof Julie Williams what she has been doing “after dabbling” in politics as Chief Scientist Advisor for the Welsh government....”Read full review »

“I used to listen avidly to the BBC Science Podcast. But since they stopped working with Dr. Karl I stopped listening and started listening to Dr. Karl’s Tripple J Science Podcast from Australia”

“The framing and glad-handling of the Fauci interview was inexcusable. Ask the man why he ROUTINELY made up “facts”, switched his positions on masking and vaccination based on public perception, and just generally lied and misrepresented knowledge throughout the pandemic. I unsubscribed from this...”Read full review »

“Long gone are the days when I would jump on this podcast the moment it was released. The old presenters brought character and humour to the podcast and made it an easy fun listen. I would pick up and retain so much information.
Now it’s very earnest. Lots on the current pandemic (of course) and...”Read full review »

“Used to really enjoy this show.

As someone who has nearly completely reversed my high blood pressure (now medication...”Read full review »

“Fantastic podcast and one of my most anticipated regular downloads of the week.
Only criticism is that the episode title is not always reflective of content. Eg. Episodes titled "Dr. Karl: ..." are sometimes regular 5 science episodes that do not feature Dr. Karl at all.”Read full review »

“The moderator thinks that he is so funny, but he should keep most of the jokes to himself. The explanations by the experts are very interesting, but he keeps making stupid comments. It is ok to make a joke a two, three or may be four times during a program, but he must be doing like ten or more.”

“Dr Karl you are awesome but this pommy show is awful! I could only manage a few minutes of listening and there is no life on this show at all. The other guy sounds like he is bored. Big thumbs down guys, fellow aussies stay away because the poms on this will drain you.
