  • Good but too infrequent

    I have followed base pairs since first episode . More serious but posted irregularly. The initial series was logical and progressive but recently sporadic and not linked to a logical sequence . A better planned series is needed to reach 5 stars.

  • Too much silly blather.

    Guests are intelligent and interesting bur the hosts “cute”and inane blather make it far too difficult to focus on the science. I had to stop listening. The hosts undermine the entire enterprise.
