Of all the podcasts I subscribe to (mostly public radio shows, but not exclusively), “The Pulse” is the one I find consistently interesting and worth hearing to the episode’s end. The subject matter is fresh, even unexpected at times, and well produced. The host, Maiken Scott, is easy to listen to. Other podcast producers, who seem to think just throwing a couple talkers before a microphone to improvise, would do well to study this one to see how it’s done.

United States6 months ago - Evolved in the wrong direction
I started listening years ago, the topics are always interesting, showing things under various lights. It’s been almost a year that the quality has declined. Each story told to illustrate a topic drags on for 10-15 min before getting to the point, not bringing anything interesting to the table while doing so. Each episode has become a drag. Sad, as this show used to be so interesting.

The Pulse is now my favorite science podcast. Radio Lab is next. Funny, I majored in English and taught it. However when it came time to declare majors, I chose between biology and English. So this podcast is helping fulfill my need tone up on science information. Finding the Pulse this year, I’ve listened to many of the shows in the archives. more
