“I listened to the first 30 minutes of the podcast hoping the sound effects made between the two women, would stop after they introduced headlines (e.g., "CRISPR alert!", "CRISPR alert!", "Bing!", "Bing!", "CRISPR alert!", "Bing!" (the " Bing!", "Bing!"s sounded more like something kids do at Star Wars movies). It did not. ne of them did her best to read with a sexy voice, but would end up tongue tired. The thing is, it was great when she simply read things normally because there was more substance here on one topic than on another top science podcast.
The guy, for his part, tried to keep pace with the women -- reading about a marine science study like a cross between a game show host and cartoon character. It didn't work. He got so tongue tied that he finally couldn't even articulate acronyms.
Maybe this is geared more towards kids or people who don't fancy themselves as being particularly interested in science, but beneath the antics the substance was very good. That's why I suffered through 30 minutes of it.
If people affiliated with the podcast were to read this, I hope they'd consider that it's possible to do a great science podcast with humor rather than antics.”Read full review »

“I adore this show. I have been downloading podcasts since they pretty much began and this is one of the few that I still devoutly listen to. I rarely bother to buy the monthly science magazines as all the up to date science news is condensed into their topical yet often highly amusing show....”Read full review »
