  • Had to quit. Annoying ads.

    Short version: 45 seconds of sponsor content per 90 second episode? Nope. >>>>> Details: This lovely little 90 second brain blurb has been a fav of mine since it first started playing on my local NPR station years and years and years ago. Sadly, I’ve found myself deleting new episodes from my feed, unheard, for the past few months. Why? Obnoxiously intrusive sponsor content. Please understand: I absolutely do not begrudge content producers finding ways to fund their material. HOWEVER… being forc... more

  • Ads are WAY to long

    Used to love this podcast but now it is not worth my time. Each podcast episode is ~ 60 sec. Ads lately have been 3 min; 3 times longer than episode. This is ridiculous. KPCC stop using this podcast as an Ad platform. Stop trying to encourage me to listen to some sociopolitical saga of a podcast, I just want to listen to Loh’s upbeat and punny take on the latest science.

  • It's a great short little bite of science with at least one pun per episode. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you like puns and science, this is the mini daily podcast for you!

  • Each episode is only a minute and brings you an interesting tid bit about a recent science study or news item. It's a nice break in between longer podcasts. Sometimes the intro and outro feel longer than the episode itself but it's worth it.
