Very political
I used to love this podcast, but over the last few years I’ve noticed that they insert political views about race and gender in nearly every episode. These are certainly valid topics to talk about, but it feels very forced and detracts from the actual science. For example, in the latest episode “What is Math?” they go from talking about what imaginary numbers are straight into talking about how math was historically dominated by “European white men”. A good few minutes were spent on that topic instead of talking about how cool math is. Why is that necessary in a science podcast?

More reviews of Short Wave
I listened to their story called “can global shipping go carbon free?” It was on planet “the indicator” They failed to mention that there is no free hydrogen on the earth (unless we create it, which takes more energy then you get out of it. ). A very important omission.

Great way to reach high school students ... my assistant principal put a link to Short Wave out to our students and staff due to the big increase in vaping this year.

Love Short Wave! It is now part of my morning ritual. It’s always super interesting and insightful with some humor.
