  • Just started and can’t stop

    I recently started listening to podcasts and have been scrolling through many. However, Science Friday with Ira Flatow stands out as a reliable and educational source of news. I listened to one episode and was instantly hooked. Now, I can’t stop. Thank you!

  • Politically Woke

    I followed this show because science is fun and fascinating. On a semi-regular basis I ended up getting a science themed woke political lecture instead of science, and that was disappointing. This show has a definite ideological bent, which I believe has no place in real science.
