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?
