“Too long intro/outro, forced humor that is frankly childish, not natural feeling or in touch with the guests or the audience. The content can be amazingly interesting, but the level package needs a lot of upgrading. I've stopped listening because I couldn't bear it anymore”Read full review »

“As an engineer building space junk, this podcast alleviates my spirits during the daily commute. It instills a proper sense of wonder around topics that are easy to overcomplicate.
EDIT: I miss your wonderful podcasts. However your recent-ish politically laden preamble was a big turn off. ...”Read full review »

“Global standard scientists explain it all in the style of a Big Bang take away at Sheldon’s. No maths. All plain talking descriptions and conjectures.”

“Great bedtime podcasts. Nothing like trying to parse the mysteries of neutron stars, black holes, and anti-quarks to make you forget about the day’s hassles, marvel at the universe, and help you go to sleep. Plus, I’ve learned a ton of physics!”

“This gives intelligent though somewhat simple explanations of lots of physics. The science is good but the few minutes of idiotic personnel introduction and discussion at the beginning and ending is very annoying, and should be skipped. The guest science experts are really good!! But the humor...”Read full review »

“This podcast is unreal!
Somehow Ben is able to present very complex topics in a way a simpleton like me can understand, without dumbing it down!
I’m absolutely addicted, I think it’s driving my girlfriend mad but I’m keeping science in my heart!”

“The whole intro of this podcast is so ridiculous that it reminds of circus shows from my childhood and is totally unfitting to the topic of the podcast.
Also I, as I am sure many others, listen to the podcasts before going to sleep and the music and creepy voice... stop it please, just stop!”
