It's a Taxpayer-Funded Platypus

“It's got to be the weirdest job in the world to popularize the ideas of (push the agenda of?) a departmental-level federal agency... through a podcast. All things considered, this is a LOT less terrible than it otherwise could have been. In fact, it's really quite palatable. I mean, all of the screaming guitars and "DJ" something-something trying to make it "cool" is the least cool thing in the world. And the goofy sound effects and stupid jokes... don't get me started.
But you can definitely tell that whereas 99% of the other podcasts out there are scraping and scrapping to make a marketable podcast that will gain an audience, this podcast is a fully funded bump on a log. At least it was under the last administration. How the heck has this not been scrapped yet when Secretary Perry is slashing jobs at the national laboratories?
Not that I'm necessarily opposed to the existence of such a podcast. I think that an informed citizenry is one that is better equipped to vote responsibly. I seriously doubt that this podcast has a listenership of more than a couple hundred, though. Which is sad. If more Americans were keeping tabs on what the agencies were doing and voted accordingly, there'd be more accountability for those in power.”Read full review »

“The episode on the solution to acid rain and the parallels to climate change was a great and moving episode. It also came out just when their budget for solving this problem is likely to be drastically cut. I hope the podcast (and more importantly the DoE) comes back.”
