“I always appreciate the turns this podcast takes to explore the known and bring forth the intricacy of the seemingly unknown connecting it back to relative terms. See plankton to mountains. Enjoy!”

“Good to hear Marnie Chesterton again, since years ago when she was with Radio Netherlands and then my favorite broadcaster. She seems to have found an even better niche now.”

“Audio levels during the episode “on the seabed” made the episode unpleasant to listen to. One minute presenters are whispering, next they are shouting, then whispering, and so on.
Please pay attention BBC !!!”

“"Science in action" and "crowd science"were reasonably good programs. The new format is superficial and , quite frankly, trivial rubbish. It is not worth your time to listen to it.”Read full review »

“Could be a good show but the BBC’s neo-Marxism constantly shines through. They are more interested about how science interacts with social justice and the relationship between historical oppressor/oppressed. Typical neo Marxist agenda - the presenters are probably so indoctrinated they don’t...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been a long term staple for me. Keep up the great work.
The two halves marry nicely. The presentation of scientific research and findings is easily understood.
The crowd science segment alway gives me a new perspective on how to look at scientific problem.”

“I usually like the podcast but the last episode was sponsored by Saudi Aramco, one of the biggest science deniers on the planet. This is absolutely appalling. A disgrace. If you think it’s worth taking their money to continue making this programme, then I won’t be part of it, even as just a...”Read full review »

“I feel this show repeats too many stories/articles I’ve already heard from the other science podcast shows I listen too weekly. If you only have time for one show then this is for you, unfortunately though, for me, I would wish for more original/exclusive content.”

“I’d gladly change my rating to five stars after you have 4 episodes in a row that don’t focus on COVID-19 or climate change. There are far too many podcasts in my feed dealing with these 2 issues, please tone it down a bit. The other episodes from this podcast are great.”
