- Weird how people respond to different things
All this concern about delta 8 and pot but everyone run out and get a vaxx that has hardly been tested. pot has been around forever I’ll tell you delta 8 is great for pain.. especially since the government makes it tougher to get pain meds, but we can give disadvantaged people free crack pipes and kits. The FDA is a joke

Love the intro with Emily Kwong the little tiny music soothes me and I actually look forward to it. Aaron Scott came in and removed the intro? Why oh why Aaron Scott. I'll listen to an old episode instead 😝
Apple Podcasts5ScatchNsniffUnited States2 months ago - Great science fact in a short amount of time
Love I’ve the format of just giving a quick take and enough science fact to wet the appetite
Apple Podcasts5St venJUnited States3 months ago - Very little science
Very little science… like they we’re told to do a science podcast, but are not interested in science. So 60% or more of the episodes, or more, are only marginally related to science. Even the science episodes have only one or two science facts. Anything that cannot be explained in a single sentence is just avoided. Exception: they might use multiple sentences to explain something, if it was taught already in middle school.
