Reviews

2.7 out of 5 stars from 337 ratings
  • Effective at putting you to sleep until the ads wake you up a few minutes later.

    I want to give this show five stars but giving it only two due to the high-energy ads that kick in mid-sentence at twice the normal volume.

    Would gladly pay for a premium ad-free version.

  • Spookily good

    The dexterity of these Gemini based AI voices is incredible. They by no way sound anything other than the genuine article. This is, of course, mildly terrifying. But the content is so rich and engrossing that I really don’t let it worry me too much. It works. They cover some great topics and break them down into relatable nuggets of information. Just interesting enough but also oddly soothing too. I’m in.

  • AI narrators, Human content

    Excellent podcast

    Makes highly complex cutting edge cosmology easily understandable.

    This is described by the producers as human generated content delivered by AI voices.

    I recorded 100s of voice over talent over 20 years but this fooled me at first. Synthesized voice has gotten quite good.

    I must admit that I can’t object to the final result.

    Pacing is good with minimal advertising and duration seems determined by topic and not arbitrary.

    Closing with :90 seconds of space music is ... more

    This show is amazing! But…. It’s really hard to listen to it at bedtime with commercials that are so loud and boisterous! Please choose calmer advertisements <3

  • Go listen to real sci-com elsewhere

    Sloppy, glitchy AI voices, no sources cited to check the facts. Go spend your precious listening time elsewhere with Ologies, The Supermassive Podcast, Airspace, or so many other good pods produced and created by real people. Leave the slop.
