“Excellent programme as always.
Your programme is excellent, but you didn’t mention that the wild fires where believed to be caused by the poor utilities as was the cases in California in the past, albeit they were made worse by the wind and the dry grasses introduced.”

“How refreshing to hear proper empirical analysis. Well worth listening to. I have recently listened again to back episodes as it gives perspective on what is happening today. Pity decision makers aren’t listening.”

“Thanks BBC I am trained as a scientist back in the 90’s but today my vocation is more industrial oriented. This podcast keeps me updated on a lot of different parts of science and often reignite my interest in a topic. And then I get home and read a couple of hours original research papers. Joy...”Read full review »

“Unusual for a bbc production this podcast is severely biased and not open to any critical thought. Expressing that will just earn you verbal abuse.
I’ll stick to crowdscience instead”

These are the only 2 subjects on the entire planet happening in science.
Lucky for us, this is the only program that reports on these 2 subjects. There is nowhere else to...”Read full review »

They do a bunch of short interviews per episode on science that’s still a work in progress instead of just celebrating people after they have had an established career....”Read full review »
