Not always science
As I do not have radio access during airtime, I listened to the podcast for about a year. Sometimes the topics were interesting and sometimes they were not. I am a chemist with an abiding interest in many subject matters.

I dislike the way the topics are broken up into random length. This may appeal to the general population, but I do not recommend it to working scientists.
