“You have got to slow down your speech. Not everyone listening is a gen Z. People listen in noisy environments. And Rachael, you Need to work on your "radio voice". l listen to a lot of podcasts with female hosts-Shortwave, Planet Money, The Indicator...
I know you can.

“I've listened to this podcast since 2007 when it highlighted hard science and health discoveries. Over the years it became longer and longer - which was no problem! - and shifted to more soft, social sciences. It seems 2020 broke the editors and staff of Scientific America. They officially...”Read full review »

“This podcast is what I wanted from Short Wave- quick, relevant science bits told in an interesting way, without feeling condescended to like Short Wave does. (Seriously, whoever writes their scripts should write for pre-schoolers. Please talk to adults like adults!) I’m sure it helps that I love...”Read full review »

“This show was better before they brought in the new host. I really don’t like her!
I also don’t like the new format.
I don’t understand why they changed the show, it wasn’t perfect before but the changes have made it worse, feels like they didn’t really think this one through.
I am...”Read full review »

“Who asked for a multiple week series on sexuality? No other topic has had so many episodes in a row, with no other subject to break it up. I wasn’t even interested in one episode on the topic, but this is ridiculous. I’m unsubscribing until it’s over.
The vast majority of the positive ratings...”Read full review »

“This is a fantastic podcast with insightful science, good editing and thoughtful subjects. But, there is one crew that is unbearable: Tanya and Josh, the senior health editors are THE worst voice actors in the history of podcasts. Replacing them with an over-zealous and pedantic 4th grade...”Read full review »

“I like the information and the hosts. My main dislike of this podcast is it used t be super short and concise, a nice way to stay up to date on scientific things. Now it’s every other day and 10-15 min podcasts. I May stop listening regularly for this reason. Too frequent and too long for what...”Read full review »

“In the “Thunderous Goose” episode, Flora states that humans have been in Australia for 50,000 years, but in reality, the evidence shows they have been living there for about 125,000 years and in North America for at least 23,000 years. Cancel this woebegotten purveyor of misinformation! Flora...”Read full review »
