Reviews
- Bravo for “Science in Action”
I’ve followed Mr. Pease’s podcast for several years and find it a delightful, regular survey of recent developments in areas of general scientific interest. For a non-scientist like myself, it’s a pleasant way to be informed and become curious about topics which I would otherwise never have known about, and Mr. Pease’s earnest demeanor keeps the podcast alive… he’s the Tintin of the science world. :) “Science in Action” is a fine offering from the BBC.

France2 months ago Roland Pease is a star, really gets the science, and explains it so well. I don't understand why this program isn't on radio4..
Podcast Addict55 months agodd- Great content - irritating delivery
Really interesting content but the ‘forced’ ‘growling’ tone of the delivery between segments can be very, very, annoying to listen to!
