  • Good podcast but

    The AI narrators are kind of creepy. And they mispronounce basic astronomical terms like Type I-a supernovae. Lessens the overall credibility.

  • Don’t bother

    It’s garbage AI and it’s obvious. Pick a podcast that supports talent.

  • Educational

    Very interesting topics and educational. I listen often before bed to help distract my mind from daily dramas. However, I like the older ones are better. The new hosts talk too fast and too loud for bedtime and relaxing. If the goal is to relax before bed, the calm slow voice is much better
