This Podcast Will Leave You Misinformed

“This podcast is not one I would recommend to anyone, much less anyone who is very much interested in learning more about space and space adjacent topics. The conversations are framed very poorly and can in turn mischaracterize the subject matter at hand, leading to people likely coming out with inaccurate understandings of the topics discussed.
In particular, there’s an entire episode dedicated to solely the side effects of renewables. It’s was incredibly disingenuous and disappointing to frame the quote-unquote “complicated” topic of climate change by only discussing the side effects of each piece of renewable energy. A proper discussion should evaluate the pros and the cons to come at a holistic understanding of the subject at hand. This podcast just doesn’t quite do that though and mishandles some of the subject matter, in turn misinforming people. Some of the talking points used by the podcast can be dangerous, and are perpetuated by climate change deniers.
-Why would we only focus on the side-effects for any given thing, most especially for renewables?
-Do the benefits still outweigh the cons?
-Are things being overstated or not?
For starting off by qualifying the topic as so “complicated” the podcast takes a particularly uncomplicated stance and effectively just serves to misinform listeners.”

“This show takes different topics in astronomy and gives a nice overview. Even when the topics are complicated, Astronomy Cast explains them in a way that can be easily understood. Very well done!”

“I found this cast a couple of weeks ago and have listened to every archived episode twice now. Extremely educational, easy to understand without being "dumbed-down" to a child-like level, and engaging. I love it!”Read full review »
