Reviews
- Fantastic!
I love the style of podcast: edited interview with an interesting expert with ample cutaways by a charismatic and knowledgeable host to either summarize something, explain a detail, or add a relevant personal story. I’ve learned so much and keep sending links to various episodes to different people in my life. This is an excellent example of great science communication!

Apple Podcasts5M Ready WW OperatorUnited States7 months ago - Storytelling and science = great show
This podcast brings together great production value, fantastic guests and a host that can bring you along the journey with excellent narration. As I was listening, a question would come to my head and it was like she was listening to me, she know what her audience wants. The conclusion feels so natural. A great science podcast tied up with a nice little bow at the end. Definitely worth a listen.
