Usually very interesting, even about subjects that on the face of it should hold no interest for mel. Case in point, episode about robot baseball umpires. I care nothing for sport and this is about a game played by school girls in the UK and grown men in the US, I am neither a British schoolgirl or an American but the episode was good, except. What is the purpose of all the background music? Pointless distraction.
Incredible Podcast. Great stories, great research, great sound design. My #1 recommendation for anyone looking for a podcast
