“I listen to many science shows, such as Sci Fri, BBC, etc. But they pale in comparison to our own Quirks & Quarks.
It has just the right mix of intelligent & layman questions along with letting the scientist or reporter talk.
And… they focus on the right stories & why they’re...”Read full review »

“The “science denier” segment is one side. It assumes that there cannot be two view points or two opposing group of scientists. The speaker defines anyone who disagrees with him is a conspiracy theorist. Speaker is a single minded thinker who only see the social media narrative. “Inductive...”Read full review »

It's always been a good listen, although I have noticed lately that the Journal Nature often covers exactly the same stories with similar interviews. My main peeve with this show is its recent tendency to...”Read full review »

“I listen to many science podcasts, and this is the only one that relies so heavily on participants reading from a script, with questions pre-submitted to guests and then read off from a script by the host, and interviewees reading back answers from a script. The lack of spontaneity is so obvious...”Read full review »
