  • Good Content marred by too many ads

    Jorge Cham is great and I find that I can’t keep track of the science talk because the ads are long - 1/3rd of the total length of the episode seem to be ads - by the time the show starts again, I’ve forgotten what the talk was about. Go find a better podcast - don’t waste your time on iheart podcasts.

    Only 3 out of 5 because 60% is about how far I got with it. Was listening to the NDE episode which started to get interesting about the same time the pretend tape machine start and stop noises became too annoying to continue.
