“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. It's because he wants listeners of all walks of life to be able to participate in listening and understanding these shows. Let's not forget that many people also enter the discussion midway through (this is a radio show for most people-not an afterthought podcast). I consider myself a bit better informed than the average and also rather impatient but I have never found Ira to be a hindrance to the show. He's actually part of the reason it's so freaking good! Listen for yourself. These short science discussions are both brief (as they are menat to be, hence having to cut it off or move it along) AND effective in communicating relevant issues to the public.”Read full review »

“I know I am a bit of a science nerd (ok, a confirmed science nerd), but this is my favorite podcast. Other faces are 'Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me' and 'Car Talk'.”Read full review »

“Flatow is himself very knowledgeable about most areas of science, but, without simplifying, he makes sure non-specialists can understand the topics well.”

“Science Friday is a great show. I have no formal training in science but I find it interesting to learn on my own, and this show has really helped me do just that. Thanks Ira!”
