“Should be on everyone’s pod list. Especially time short policy makers and that strange breed of people called politicians who might find some good interesting facts instead of their ideological echo chambers. Challenge your ignorance!”

“The mixing of arts and politics only serves to underline the presenter’s skill and the central place science occupies in our broader world. Has been covering global warming for 50+ years. Doesn’t treat you like an idiot. Wonderful broad science show with great pieces on wildlife, physics, and...”Read full review »

“Having listened to the science show since a child, first on Radio National and more recently via podcast. I am unsubscribing in the hope that it re-focuses. What has great potential and still delivers occasionally (e.g. the summer series) as a forum for new science reporting from overseas and...”Read full review »

“Globalist preaching about climate change, how wonderful our response to Covid is and a bit of sneering at non-Socialists.
Disappointing.

“I came for science but instead I got poetry about emus wanting to fly, seaweed art projects, University politics, and endless sermons about climate change. A few informative “sciency” moments but generally lacking in substance.”

“Robin continues to do a great job. I see several reviews critical of perceived politicisation of the program content. Surely it is within the purview of a general science program to discuss it’s political place in the world?”

“The Science Show is one of the ABC’s gems, one of those that make the ABC our greatest national institution. Australia would be a much better place if politicians on all sides were required to listen to every episode. (Equally, they and in fact all Australians, should watch Landline). Both shows...”Read full review »
