“I love a good science podcast. I’m happy to discover a new science podcast. But I was looking forward to working my way through the archive of Science Talk. I do not appreciate having Science Talk replaced with the new Scientific American podcast. I do not care if I’m 15 years behind on the...”Read full review »

“So disappointing that this science institution takes “the narrative” over really considering all the alternative scientific evidence that disagrees with it, as well as the evidence to quiet the voices of differing views.
I love science and I’m a very scientific type of person, but they...”Read full review »

“A thoughtfully considered, beautifully produced inquiry into an essential, yet often overlooked aspect of science. In an age where many studies are vulnerable to the taint of funding bias, finding true answers depends on scientists who value humility and possess the openness to live in the...”Read full review »

“I’m a fairly recent subscriber; started listening in 2016 and looked forward to each week’s release. But since Steve Mirsky’s departure, it’s not worth the effort. Several weeks of nature sounds? Really? And now book musings?
I’ll continue to subscribe just in case they manage to turn...”Read full review »

“Steve, I cannot imagine why you did not contrast Dan Schwartz‘s book with the Pope of physics book which came out here earlier.
In the book review episodes, I like the musical beats to emphasize the major points before the discussion.”

“Many of their stories are quick hits, unlike most science shows that are an hour long.
The nature walk series is unmatched!
They aren’t just talking about the same things as other science shows are; an independent voice.”

Sadly both the host and the interviewee were too proud and even the progresses of air pollution reduction in China were attributed to the need of stability of governing China by CCP based on their American-centric views.

Whether he's talking about white water rafting on the Colorado River or the battle...”Read full review »
