It's hard to estimate the value of this podcast
06/01/2006
This podcast stands out as pretty much constantly astounding. As someone who writes about science for a living, the 'scientific' concepts here are rendered in an enviably fascinating and pretty much idiot-proof way. It's a testament to the skills of the hosts in their use of the audio format that they can cruise through really complex stuff and give the ordinary listener entertainment and learning in a single scoop. This is the best. Now if they would only get season one on itunes....

The last few shows have been great. I admit I was getting a little frustrated with all the reruns. I imagine it’s hard to come up with new material all the time. Big shoes to fill with Jad and Robert. But the Quantum Birds episode knocked it out of the park! Mind blown! Hopefully more like that to come. Jonathan

This podcast is great to break up my more news-focused ones. The stories are always interesting and the production is awesome.
Decay

A disaster. Lulu sounds like a preschool teacher. You’re speaking to adults lady. Episodes are half as long as before. Publishing as many archived shows as new ones, and publishing new episodes erratically. Maybe ever other week or so. Put Soren out front and keep your producers but between Lulus’s baby talk and Latif’s incessant “gee whiz” reactions. Tough to listen to. Jad and Robert were NEVER boring. The current hosts have done a disservice to this show’s brilliant legacy
