Lovely to hear - quirky is good when smart and lacking ego. STILL TRUE.
I really like the show. He's funny, smart, not an academic, not grinding any axes, just a man with a plan and a Martian canal. I don't want to be insulting, but I would rather hear him alone than have him add his current girlfriend/fiancee, although despite my wondering her actual interest in the matter, she makes some very good points and at times keep the dear boy from tangentializing too far. But, honestly, I don't listen for the last-word critiques. I listen because of the tangents, the personal passion, the occasional self-aware silliness, and the commitment to SF. If I can understand some of the other kinds of comments here, it doesn't make me enjoy the podcast any less. The snarky reviews show their hands immediately, because it is such a demanding niche field. But this is one podcast I look for updates.

However, when Luke doesn't like the book, the reviews tend to become whiny, annoying rants in which he mocks the parts...Read full review »
