  • Reliable and conveying

    As a physics student I did not find inconsistencies. She explains complex notions in a simple way in order to be understandable by other people outside of the world of physics, and she does this perfectly.

  • I admire her skepticism.

    Sabine is a great antidote to those many other testosterone fueled over the top science podcasts out there. I like that she keeps it real and doesn’t talk down to her audience.
