“I love the new science issues discussed. Lots of information but not too much. I can get ideas on science stories to research futher.”

“Bob has such a frustratingly patronizing manner that the whole podcast is almost unpalatable.
Apart from that, it's great!”

“I wish the negative reviewers from some years ago would come back to have a second look/listen to these podcasts. They are very well done and most worthwhile. Subscribe.”

“This podcast does a great job of delivering science news in away that is not dumbed down, but still understandable for the average layman. The topics are varied and interesting, and give a wonderful glimpse into the developing world of science.”

“This podcast is aimed at the general audience, not scientists. A little cheesy in presentation, it was one of the first science for the masses podcasts available to listen to. I have been listening since being introduced to it by the Naked Scientists. I am a AAAS member and a chemist. I enjoy...”Read full review »

“This podcast is extraordinary. I am not a scientist but I find that I understand what the discussion is about because Ira is very careful to ask probing questions. The format is polite and instructive. I highly recommend this.”

“I enjoy this podcast and the Science Magazine podcast. For some reason, they don't seem to cross promote. Some reviewers expressed disappointment that the stories here aren't in depth. I enjoy this broadcast when I don't have a lot of time. When I want to hear longer bits I jump over to the...”Read full review »

“I like how they keep things simple and to the point. I learn a lot from listening to this podcast. I also like how they mix up the topics. It was great to meet you at the AAAS Family Science Fair here in San Francisco. Keep it up you guys! I do love your podcast!”Read full review »

“This is my new favorite podcast. The pace is brisk, the content is great, it's delivered clearly and with enthusiasm. It's quick and concise enough to make it an easy listen, but it's long enough to be worthwhile.”Read full review »

“Sorry to be so critical but were are you (AAAS) thinking? I am so disappointed. This is horrible! Your podcast is way too short (~5 minutes!!!) and way too simple (subject-wise). Please give "the masses" some real science beyond the ten second one liners. Go read a copy of Science News and...”Read full review »

“Science Update Podcast tops the list of my downloads: NOVA|PBS, NOVA Science, Science Magazine, Scientific American...etc. They have short, interesting vignettes, and I could care less about the transition music or the occasional premature cutoff. It's the (insightful and authoritative) content...”Read full review »

“I guess I was so busy listening to the excellent, professional delivery of the science news that I didn't notice anything detrimental about the music. This is a good mix of heavy, serious science for regular people. It's not as esoteric and heavy as Science magazine can be, but it's not as...”Read full review »

“The music is indeed cheesy and the transitions between segments play horrible tunes as well. Still, it is not annoying by any means, and the content is really great and coming from the AAAS, highly legitimate. I do recommend it, and I'm sure the producers will eventually change the music. -Rudy”
