Painfully Amateurish - An Enormous Waste of Time
I'm a 40 year old engineer who was searching for another interesting science podcast. I'll admit that the cute logo pulled me in for a listen. Oh the pain! It was like stepping back 5 years in the podcast time machine. 5 minutes into the podcast (1/4 of my commute time) and not one word of interesting content! They spend way too much time in sickening personal babble about what they are drinking and how everyone is feeling. First piece of advice... NOBODY CARES BUT YOU!

Brutal editing is a good thing. If you aren't into real content within 60 seconds, I'm out. For examples of excellent podcasts, see "Skeptoid" (short and sweet, 100% content), and "The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe" (roundtable with minimal banter).Read full review »

Listening to this podcast is like a night kicking back with your buddies, drinking and BS-ing. You definitely learn, and they do inspire you to go...Read full review »

This is quite possibly the best podcast out there for people who love science with a side of humor, and a little brew. These guys are smart, funny, and always have great topics. But the best thing by far is the trailer trash segment. Rock on guys!
