“I try not to miss an episode. Always interesting and always reminds me of how much I love space exploration since my childhood so many years ago. I remember hearing Sputnik live as a kid in my elementary school science class.”

“Carrie gets a wide variety of guests, people you are not likely to hear anywhere else. It’s great when they do a deep dive into that person’s work. I think it’s hard to set the level correctly for this kind of show, but she tries. In my opinion, it could be improved by setting ir a bit higher.”
