What a podcast! Science can be interesting and useful, and these guys do an amazing job of explaining that concept.
The content of the show is GREAT A+. Please work on the thumping sound from one or both of the microphones and adjust the volume so both hosts are more balanced. Everyone interested in current science trends and topics should give this show a listen.
