Quality has gone downhill
I’m not sure what’s going on there, but Science Friday’s quality has really been slipping lately. Far too many over-produced “reports” by writers for pop-science magazines, and not enough discussion with actual scientists. Most recently, the coverage of Covid has been atrocious and biased: the same, half-true, panic hot-takes I can read on the New York Times, while important, detailed discussions of what we know and don’t know are missing entirely. I don’t need a podcast to reiterate what I can get from headlines in the mass media. If this podcast doesn’t stick to the details of the science, I’ll listen to something else.
