“I love these guys.
And as hard as they work on interviews, I skip them. Audio is so poor because interviewees are on speakerphone. Too bad. Good info, but can’t listen.
Five stars nonetheless.”

“Actual space flight events are less important to the hosts than leftist social justice agitprop. There’s nothing wrong with a leftist political podcast, it just shouldn’t masquerade as a space flight podcast.”

“This podcast used to be very informative, but since about 1year, they ignore to discuss the juicy topics within the spaceflight scene.
Like in the episode 324, a "short and sweet"-topic is that there have been more cracks found in one of the modules of ISS.”Read full review »

“Frustrating to listen to this podcast when they aren’t up to date and accurate on the subject matter. It is easy to monitor twitter/reddit/NSF these days to compile a better understanding of the happenings in space. This podcast should deliver best available accuracy but it does not.”
