Exceptional and compelling. Radio as it should be.
I first heard this program by accident travelling through Baltimore. It was the episode on space. I found the sound and the production so captivating that I immeadiately looked it up and became hooked. I love how Jad and Robert peel back the layers on scientific questions that you think you knew about. They educate without ever making you feel like you are being educated or talked down to. The episode on sleep is a great example. We all do it, but no one really understands what goes on there, so they consolidate the latest science in the area, and proceed to blow you away with something so mundane. Bravo.Read full review »
