Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 17 ratings
  • Often really interesting, but please improve audio quality

    I really like the content, details and information about current missions and discoveries.

    Unfortunately, it’s more often than not really difficult to listen to and follow due to low recording quality. I understand that not all guests have good equipment, but the hosts could maybe invest a little to improve quality. For starters, that‘s possible for well below 100 bucks. ;-)
