“I have listened to this program for years, and I was very sad when the host Mat Kaplan left. However, I stuck it out for as long as I could. Now I am looking elsewhere. I think the problem is that it’s missing a lot of relatable and tangible content that the show used to have. A lot of it is just the host expressing excitement but rarely conveying it. When I listen to her voice it just kills all my interest. And then if I force myself to listen to it anyway it just it feels like I go through the episodes having heard nothing at all.
She’s very nice and I’ve seen her on videos and she seems very cool and sweet, and I really like her. But she just shouldn’t be hosting such an important science program.
Now I’m searching for something with the same energy and material as this show used to have. Also I see they’re losing the trivia segment and I’m not surprised. That guy sounds so sad that he is no longer riffing and just trudging through the material now. Feels like it’s ending altogether.
Maybe something better will come in and replace it? I hope soon.”
