- Someone being angry in my ear
Originally the podcast introduced me to a lot of cool science work. Now Adam shoves his half baked political opinion down my throat.

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.

You could tell she taken aback by his attit... more
