I stumbled across this little gem of a podcast, but noone else had heard of it. Really interesting people come on talking about a wide range of topics. You'll definitely learn something. Only wish they released more!
Listened to the one episode on Rugby and concussion. I found the episode to be anything but "scientific" as it was 1) totally one sided, and 2) presented by a person who is far too invested in the topic both personally and financially. Awful!
Thoroughly recommend. I work in applied science yet I learn something new every week from this show. Excellent choice of interesting young guests.
Great podcast covering a wide range of science with a great variety of guests each with an interesting story to tell. Very easy to listen to, yet engaging and fun! Would absolutely recommend
Great show full of fresh scientific talent and getting the inside persective on goings on in the world of science and tech. Combine some on-air experiments and you've got a something really different to the standard science podcast offerings.
