Customer Reviews
What a great show
Think that the good people at Naked Scientists have a strong sense of how much good they do. Bite-sized pieces of science, informative, well presented, and mostly fun—this is a public service. The Jo-berg radio hosts are terrific too, I love them all. They bring the best to the subjects, interested and pithy comments, it’s downright enjoyable: science banter. No
stuffed -science -shirts— these people make science fun. Its like a board game—fast moving fun. We in the audience must do our part. It’s so easy to email forward the shows. Do that. Setup for an older relative to use while exercising. Play these shows with kids in the car, they’re bound to get interested in finding out more.
And we must donate to NS through the website, have to keep them busy bringing us more excellent content.
Amazingly informative
