“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.”

“What can I say this podcast is perfection, I listen every week. The science in action is such a nice edition to it. I also listen to CBC Quarks and Quirks, they are similar in scope but not in topics or guests so they supplement each other well. But where as CBC naturally focuses on Canada,...”Read full review »
