Fracing episode (season 2)
The first episode of season 2 is all about fracing (and yes, I spelled that right). I will admit that I am in the oil and gas industry, but I have always been open to the possible dangers of fracing. Overall I think that the episode covers a lot of good topics and presents evidence from both sides. I do have one major problem with the word fracing is used throughout the episode; they say fracing whenever they refering to any process that has to do with natural gas extraction. It may seem like a minor thing to those that don't understand, but to have conversations about climate change we need to consider all natural gas extraction and not just wells that are fraced (although that is many of them nowadays). Anyways the point I am trying to make is Wendy sometimes glosses over and makes light of details that she doesn't feel are important, but to have a credilble science podcast you should take the time to get at least a decent understanding of the terminology.Read full review »

More reviews of Science Vs
I listen to about a dozen science podcasts and Science VS is by far the most entertaining (radiolab isn't always about science...). I'm very happy the show has joined Gimlet. Hopefully they won't tone down the science too much. I also hope Wendy will drop the point scoring at the end...Read full review »

I rated this based on Season 1 before it went to Gimlet FYI. However, gimlet does such great work that I know it will only improve. I really hope they go a little more in-depth than Season 1 (I think Wendy already said they would though). Can't wait!Read full review »

I saw you picked this up so I went to listen to season 1... It's terrible. Why do you want to put your name on this opinionated garbage trying to be science? I've listened to every episode of every other Gimlet Media podcast and I was a huge fan.. But I'm out now.Read full review »
