So interesting!

I love the dynamic on this podcast. Science is so much more interesting than what we learn in school!

Coincidence or Gravity? Or something.

So cool that I started down this space rabbit hole, big time, about a month ago. So cool this podcast just comes out!

I’ve Never Felt Dumber

I’ve always suspected that I’m an idiot, but thanks to this show I know it.

I can’t even understand John’s liberal arts decoding sessions of what Dr Mack is talking about.

Thanks for bursting my bubble. Great sound btw
