  • Not so intelligent

    Gave the latest episode a listen after being recommended this podcast. The hosts gleefully agreed on punishing doctors for sharing “misinformation”; one of the hosts timidly brought up the paramount question of who decides what misinformation is, but was patently ignored. Will never be coming back to this.

  • Great science and skepticism

    I have been listening for years because of the entertaining and enlightening discussions, the scientific news, interviews, games and other. They also, sometimes, review movies.

  • The show remains a skeptical go-to, but I feel the format may be overdue a shakeup. And Cara Santa Maria's vocal fry begins to make her contribution unlistenable as it harshens over time.
