“I listened to this in 2019 , it was wonderful! Then with much of life shut down in 2020 I’ve revisited it and love the rapport between the hosts. I know how that helps the young and the old folks also enjoy it, I’ve recommended this podcast far and wide.”

“We listened to about 20 episodes on our recent trip from Wellington to Tauranga. The kids (8 years old) were fascinated. We all were. This is top notch material from a radio station that has reinvented itself for the digital age.”

“Awesome, but I recommended this to a bunch of friends in the U.S. Alison’s ultra-kiwi accent makes it difficult for them. Had to explain when she says ‘bin’ that she’s saying ‘been’.”

“I am a second year in UoA, and listen to this so I can remember the symbols for the elements better for my exams and it’s actually really fun and entertaining and educational especially if you don’t know a lot about chemistry I think!
Highly recommend and my friend in my class told me”

“If chemistry had been taught like this when I was in secondary school, I might have retained more of the lessons as a kid! Lively, engaging, clear, friendly.”
