Canada2 months ago - Done after Curry episode.
Didn’t find this the most entertaining science podcast but I’m done after giving the multimillionaire mouthpiece Judith Curry a platform without any real pushback. I listened all the way. She had the gall to call another out for cherry-picking. But to throw in that installing solar panels contributed to the Hawaii fire because they weren’t there to cut grass, is cash check from the fossil fuel industry. There are none of those on the island so make it not make sense.

The hosts ask the kinds of questions you wish you’d thought of, and the guests? Absolute rockstars in their fields. They explain complex ideas in a way that feels accessible, not overwhelming. There’s a clarity and ease to the conversations that makes you want to lean in and learn more.

Apple Podcasts5las-heatUnited Statesa year ago - The Science Podcast to Rule All Others
STEM-Talk are indepth interviews with really interesting scientists and engineers working right at the front edge.
These episodes are in-depth discussions with really fascinating scientists and engineers. The health related episodes are particularly interesting as the hosts and the guests go pretty far down some deep rabbit holes. Also, I love the episodes about space exploration. AMA episodes are also wonderful. Thanks!
