“I'd rate this 4 stars, but I suspect anything less than 5 is considered harsh.
Surprisingly good. Topics are good, good length, solid guests. And surprisingly, no politics; at least for the 5 episodes I've listened to. One strong recommendation. When I look at the list of shows, I see the title and episode number then the guest's name, then a word or two on the topic "Are ideas ...". I already know it's Rationally Speaking and don't care what the episode number is. But it's hard to find the topics but having to drop in to the podcast, listen to the same greeting, find out I'm not interested, then go out again.
It's not perfect. Some endless debate over the definition of terms. One recent one, the speaker said Gain of Function was not accurate and Julia fell over herself to make sure she used some term that he probably invented. A tip: no term is perfect. There are not fluffy clouds in cloud computing but everyone is ok with the term. And sometimes the guests are far too academic. One (can't remember the episode) spent ages talking about the problem and when asked for the solution, said it's very complex. But all in all, very good.
I thought her voice would bug me. I've always found the vocal fry to be annoying and makes me think I'm listening to a teenager. But Julia's doesn't bother me much; maybe I'm growing up.”Read full review »

“Because listening all episodes from the beginning and if I find myself drinking coffee together in a Starbucks, I’d probably embarrass myself to act like I have never listened one episode. She can outsmart not only me (who learned English when he was 13 for the first time) but people like...”Read full review »

“I'm a big fan of the Rationally Speaking blog, but I worried that it wouldn't translate to audio. I worried the arguments would become jumbled without having them laid out on the page - Will I have to take notes? I haven't been this pleasantly wrong about something in quite some time....”Read full review »
