    Lots of vocal fry and high horses makes it very difficult to listen to.

  • good information sometimes poorly delivered

    love the topics and the information being explored - the interviews with actual scientists are well done and thorough. however the “interviews” with sanchali feel really weird and forced, like some scripted PSA about the topic. they just feel unnatural and corny.

  • What a relief

    Great podcast that is informative and action-oriented but doesn’t leave me feeling hopeless. The microplastics episode is especially great — anything touching that topic usually sends me into the stratosphere with anxiety, but this made the issue feel accessible and actually worth trying to tackle. Thank you!
