Started from the very beginning a couple of years ago and now I'm up to October 2019. The pandemic episodes promise to be interesting. Very interested in the science and the comedy but not so much the politics. Thankfully, by 2019 the Trump obsession seems to have subsided though I'm anticipating a repeat when I get up to 2024.

I started from the very beginning and I'm now up to August 2017. They were great all the way up to the 2016 election cycle when Probably Science turned into Probably Politics. I'm interested in science and comedy and would love for this to be the advertised Comedy/Science podcast. I don't care about the hosts political views one way or the other. I don't care about anybody's political views to the point that I don't want to hear about anybody's political views. You don't like Trump? Great. Even... more
