  • Really Great!

    The host actually does her homework. Thoroughly enjoyable without getting it wrong. All too often I find the podcaster has only a Wikipedia level knowledge of this subject. This host is one of the exceptions. If I have any criticism at all, it’s that I wish the shows were longer. 5 BIG GOLD STARS!!!!!

  • Interesting

    Karly’s voice is very soothing. I do not consider myself to be a “science person” however this podcast does a great job at keeping me interesting in the topics that are discussed. Karly is very knowledgeable, and I am looking forward to the next episode! more

  • Great Podcast

    I really enjoyed the most recent episode. Lots of humour and a very interesting subject. It is great to hear about the reality behind working for NASA but also comparing it with popular movies. Go Princess Leia!
