Exposing PseudoAstronomy

A shame he gave up on such a promising podcast, but I'm sure his work was more important.

Somehow Dr Stu makes concepts I have no real knowledge of completely approachable. I am fascinated by astronomy and physics... I have listened to many of the ‘coast to coast’ type programs over the years. This show covers so many topics I’ve been skeptical, but honestly curious about. I have listened over and over while working, picking up little concepts of scientific formulas Dr Stu throws out as a foundation for exploring the shows topic. Apologies if this review is choppy, I planned on writi... more

It’s been inactive for a while and I’ve been re-listening to it.

Good job.

It is informative and entertaining. Made by a scientist about science 👍🏻 Please keep up the good work !

Astro/Geophysicist Dr. Stuart Robbins doesn’t suffer fools. He’s as nerdy and dry as can be on the surface, but as you listen you start to realize that underneath his brainiac exterior beats the heart of a droll, take-no-prisoners comedian and social commentator. I was surprised to discover that Dr. Robbins doesn’t like Monty Python, because his 100th episode special was so spoofy and funny that I laughed out loud through the whole thing. But don’t be misled. Dr. Robbins’ intent is serious. His ... more

I have been powering through the back catologue of these episodes for a few weeks now and I have yet to find an uninteresting episode. Dr. Stuart Robbins does an amazing job of making serious science understandable. I will be hoenst and say there are plenty of things that go over my head, but ultimately I can follow along.

I love that he uses interesting and far out wacky claims to find an "in" to explain real science to people like me who need the controversial hook to be interested. I have le... more

Awsome

Perhaps the most genuine podcast out there. Certainly a labor of love... that you will love, too.

Ever listened to Coast to Coast A.M.,

The Unexplained, etc. and thought, “No. No that isn’t right...that can’t be... what a load of ....”? Well, rather than yelling, listen to this.

Yeah, you know they are full of it, but Dr. Robbins takes the time to research and prove it with facts and an occasional beat down with logic.

All the Astro-crazy from the shows above, without the “buy gold” or ”ta... more

I have been binge listening to the podcast and have been enjoying it both informative and entertaining

A review from a land down under

Just wish I had heard about you/your podcast before your Australia trip

That is something I am making a habit of. Started reading bad astronomy after Phil visited here

Found Scott Sigler podcasts novels just after his Australia tour. SGU was working through from the start while they were at tam Australia the And now. Yours. Sigh

I stumbled upon this a few months ago and am really pleased with Stuart Robbins's discussions on a rather wide range of subjects. Much of what he says is not really new to me, but he's a professional and I'm not, and I've learned something new from every one (and there have been some about topics that I didn't even know that I was unwarare of).

His style is very relaxed and entertaining but he also seems determined to be very accurate. The mix is just right: people with very different leve... more

I have been going over the archive for several weeks now and enjoying it greatly.

Awesome show debunking conspiracies as a good means of teaching science

Although Stuart is considered a "skeptic" it appears to me that he is only laying out facts in a scientific thoughtful manner. Those on the non-science fringe consider him a main stream scientist which, as we all should know is a back handed compliment at best. Bravo for him challenging these absurd carnival barkers. I listen because I learn something new every time.

Stuart, thank you!

Wonerful podcast combines my two favorite things.. Astronomy and skepticism. The content is always thoughtful and well researched. The topics are engaging.
