    Seems like it’s made for children. What could’ve been a hugely interesting subject proved to be boring and badly presented. A more capable and interesting presenter might have saved this episode. The researchers should be given an award for amassing the most boring interviewees imaginable. Yawn.

    Although they are a tad politically correct and right-on, they are still worth listening to and well worth the download.

    I particularly liked the episodes on urban-foraging & watch-making.
