“I'm not sure why so many people are criticising Ira Flatow. The reason he asks some questions (ones which might seem to be begging the obvious to the more informed listener) is because he is trying to reach a very broad audience. How do you do that? Well, on occasion you have to pause for a minute and have your expert guest define a term or two or clarify what he or she means. It's not because Ira is an idiot.

Ira Flatow also tends to interrupt the guests at rather...”Read full review »

“If you have a general interest in science and seperating a lot of the rhetoric from the facts surrounding current issues in science I highly reccomend this show.”
