Customer Reviews
I wish this podcast was every day
I love this podcast but for reasons unknown new shows have not been dropping. It’s my hope that this is temporary because this in an interesting knowledgeable show that has fact based science found using the scientific method not a bit of the sudo science that is found invading the airwaves. That’s why I give it the max 5 stars 🌟
Thanks for the download. But when downloaded automatically or manually on my apple podcast app I could not get the program to play. 😢
Very informative with a side of humor
Scientific American has a stellar reputation so I expected this podcast would be amazing. I love the variety of topics and the way the information is delivered with a touch of humor.
Wait for the pun
Besides providing interesting information in short segments that can easily be a part of a daily routine they always seem to wrap it up in a laudable pun. Well done
