Where’s the science?
I’ve been listening to Science Weekly for a long time. It started going downhill after Alok Jha left the show. It has interesting episodes every now and then but seems mostly focused on topics that are politically hot at the moment. Case in point: the week after the 2022 Nobel prizes were announced, did Science Weekly cover the prizes related to science? NO! Instead, they had a show entitled “Why does Elon Musk want to buy Twitter?” Are you kidding me?! We are now 3 weeks after the Nobel announcements and still no coverage. Instead we have episodes on the ethics of putting human brain cells in rats, how to grieve for the natural world, and concussions. I imagine that sometimes it is hard to come up with topics, but every year the topics for 2-3 episodes are given to you on a platter. My advice to the producers of this declining podcast: pick the low hanging fruit that is right in front of you.

This podcast discusses scientific, unifying ideas in-depth and authoritatively more consistently than any other pdocast.

Agree. Music and phone and Skype ringing before tedious waste of listening time.

Please please please can we have voice audio without back ground music tracks. There is also the issue of over lapping voice tracks. Both issues ultimately greatly distract from the interesting content.
