Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 48 ratings
  • Five star content. Two star sound.

    Great content, but terrible sound quality. If they get the audio issues (volume consistency and background noise) figured out this would be a five star podcast.

  • Thank you

    Thanks for all of the information guys, This is helpful and well presented. One of the hardest things I find about meat science is that it is so multifaceted with so many unique approaches and areas of study that it can be a confusing field to study later in life after having studied in other fields. Appreciate the ways that you show some of these different approaches and areas of study at a high level!
