“I first started listening to SciFri on NPR, back home, but once I was back in school, I wasn't often able to catch it. The show covers a diverse range of scientific topics from SpaceX to climate change to bio-electronic implants. It's completely worth the subscription. Flatow is a great host who doesn't claim to be an expert in the topic being discussed, unlike some news commentators today, and leaves the details to people who should genuinly know about the topic.
One of the biggest problems is that NPR seems to be kind of slow in uploading new episodes. The show airs on Friday (as the name would suggest), and NPR has sometimes been so slow in uploading updates that the new episodes won't show up until the following Friday. However, despite this shortcoming, it's worth it.”Read full review »

“I love the content, but it's time for Ira to retire. Too many interruptions, too much stammering, too many reintroductions of guests, just get on with the interview! Joe Palca is much better.”Read full review »
