  • Amazing podcast

    I absolutely loved the friendly atmosphere that the hosts create and the passion with which they talk about their respective research fields. The same goes for the people being interviewed. Very informative and made so that even people with no background in physics can understand the vast majority of what is discussed. To this day it is the best science popularization work I’ve seen (and heard). Thank you for your amazing work!
