Reviews
- Be warned!
We’re fortunate that there are so many science podcasts out there, however, after listening to 3-4 of these episodes you quickly realize what effort, research, and expertise it takes to present a truly informative well rounded topical discussion. You may, like me, find many other podcasts quite wanting for content after this.

United States2 months ago - Need more variety
A great informational podcast but they only focus on scientific advances that took place in Europe. Quite whitewashed. Africa, South America, Asia, Russia are NEVER mentioned.
Apple Podcasts3SnappyDaniUnited States6 months ago - Fantastic
Love Melvyn. We need more like him, can’t think of anyone younger who could replace him. He must do so much research for each of the wide ranging topics as he always asks relevant and focused questions, keeping the conversation interesting. He’s a less well known but nevertheless absolute national treasure. Thanks BBC, nobody does it better!

Melvyn Bragg uses unacceptable behavior with women: rude, domineering, interrupting, and foolish, useful questions. Please seek another host.
Apple Podcasts1Benji X.United States10 months ago - A brilliant array of topics
The range of fascinating topics curated by the excellent Melvin Bragg and the very-well chosen guests is a treat.
