Their delivery is so obviously scripted that they sometimes sound like people uncomfortably giving speeches. When interviewing, their scripted questions (and sometimes scripted answers -- if the whole thing is scripted, it isn't an interview!) miss opportunities to expand upon really interesting points the guests make. The information is good, but the assumed science literacy of the audience is different from segment to segment. They've only done a couple of shows, but at this point I wouldn't listen regularly. They are a good journal, so with work, they will probably have a good podcast.Read full review »
