    Great mixture of hard science and fun and fanciful dialog. Not so sure all the facts presented are in fact factual, but enough of them were to make this podcast very listenable.

  • 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.
