Host can be very annoying

“I really enjoy the contents of this podcast, the topics of discussion are usually very interesting and the discussion itself is usually well conducted--props to Ira Flatow for that. On the other hand, I hate his interruptions--not when he stops his guests to ask fo a quick definition, for example, that's perfectly acceptable and actually contributes to how great this podcast is--sometimes he will stops a guest in midsentence and say "we have to take a break." He literally chooses the worst possible time for a break, where it isn't a question of suspence but is just confusing and really takes away from the flow of the discussion. After the interruption, he spends a long time trying to summarize the sentence he'd interrupted, often getting it wrong. It's extremely annoying and actually makes him appear quite rude. I also dislike his conduct of technology-specific discussions, as he doesn't appear very tech-savvy himself. He's not even comfortable with the language and will often use widely accepted terminology incorrectly, making me chuckle and distracting me from the discussion at hand. I know this show is supposed to appeal to a wide audience, but sounding like a technophob is not as endering as you might think--other technophobs likely won't notice your terminology blunders, but technophils will be annoyed by them. Overall, great podcast with a not so great host.”Read full review »

“I've got a new drinking game... you drink every time Ira Flatow uses the term "climate change." That's about six times per program. It doesn't matter what they're talking about, Ira will always find a way to work climate change into every conversation.”Read full review »
