“SciAm's Science Talk was one of the first science podcasts I started listening to several years ago. I've listened to many podcasts over the years, some stay and some go, this one is a keeper. Steve Mirsky is an excellent host. He is humorous and has a good rapport with guests. The topics range from current science to oldies-but-goodies, and intriguing to dull. The weekly quiz is always a fun challenge. A regular feature is an interview with John Rennie, editor in chief, to discuss the current issue.
The podcast existed early on without advertising, but as with many podcasts, has started including advertising in recent podcasts. It is not over-bearing, though. Politics are included in the podcast because SciAm is a magazine that believes science needs to be in politics. It is also important to keep in mind that SciAm is a magazine and not a scientific journal.
Overall, I highly recommend this podcast for people interested in science.”Read full review »
