  • Bleeps lol

    2 episodes in a row, & the guests got “bleeped” for their frank potty mouths. So funny! I feel a voyeuristic thrill to get to listen to this, since it’s light-years above my head. P.s. If anyone’s looking for another engrossing show, “Causality” analyzes engineering disasters.

  • As long as the host and guest are talking about science it's interesting. However when they start venturing into self promotion or politics the content becomes deplorable ( see Leslie Vosshall's episode where she had a lot of illuminating things to say about mosquitos but then went off the deep end with her rant in dude walls)
