Thanks to these podcasts, I've read some great books and I'm excited about maths for the first time in my life (age 43). I'm learning, I'm playing and I'm having fun with maths. I never thought that would happen! I really enjoy the host Jim Stein. My only complaint is that I want more new maths books podcasts. Read more Jim!
You don’t have to be a mathematician to enjoy these interviews on life, the universe and everything in between.
These are fascinating. Just finished listening to an interview with Ian Stewart. My only quibble/ suggestion would be for the interviewer to get a headset or microphone. Interviewees' audio is fine, interviewer's could be better.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
