“Planetary Radio used to be my #1 favorite podcast. The original host is epically talented. The original host retired, and sadly the new host gives the show a fluffy feel. The new host obsessively proclaims “I’m so excited” but then struggles to explain any interesting scientific and technical details.
The new show’s lack of gravitas is made acutely noticeable by the insistence of the host to explicitly convert metric into imperial. The unit conversions are distracting. Everyone interested in space is familiar with metric. For the younger listeners considering careers in STEM, this show will harm their numeracy essential for career success. Imperial has no place in science and space.”
