Good to hear Marnie Chesterton again, since years ago when she was with Radio Netherlands and then my favorite broadcaster. She seems to have found an even better niche now.

Audio levels during the episode “on the seabed” made the episode unpleasant to listen to. One minute presenters are whispering, next they are shouting, then whispering, and so on. more

United Kingdom5 months ago - The new format
"Science in action" and "crowd science"were reasonably good programs. The new format is superficial and , quite frankly, trivial rubbish. It is not worth your time to listen to it.
