Wish he’d cover science topics more but really good show, the guests tend to be really interesting and Adam is good at grounding the conversation

Originally the podcast introduced me to a lot of cool science work. Now Adam shoves his half baked political opinion down my throat.
Apple Podcasts1MagackiUnited States5 months ago - Dissolving into Notjingness
Always appreciated this podcast, but more and more it’s just repetitive and jingoistic. Last episode promised “science”….then proceeded to spend two hours with gender signifying and culture clash. It’s tedious and depending on the guest, completely boring. Sorry. i think I’m done.
