Reviews
- Great stories, not so great audio
As a former geology student, I really enjoy the stories and topics they cover. However, the sound effects are often so loud that they make it difficult to hear the interviewee or startle me when they come in. More subtlety in mixing, please!

I am a non scientist but I have an interest in science-related topics. This podcast is fun to listen to and informative without being overly technical. Very interesting topics and fun hosts — Nanci and Shane!

Third Pod from the Sun connects with scientists in environmental fields about their work and the experience of doing it. I think AGU has really filled a niche with this podcast - this is exactly the kind of stuff I want to hear about! Keep up the good work!

As a non-scientist, I find the interviewers and interviewees incredibly relatable and the science fascinating—and fun! Thanks to AGU for promoting science in a human way.
Apple Podcasts5Tacoma S-HUnited States7 years ago - Fun and easy to understand science morsels
This podcast is excellently made and covers interesting and exciting science in an accessible format. As a geoscientist, it's inspiring to hear other scientists talk about their work, but this podcast is very well geared towards anyone interested in knowing more about Earth, current science and the people doing it, or simply some silly science facts. Keep it up AGU team!
Apple Podcasts5sarahstrandedUnited States7 years ago - the perfect organization to sponsor a pod cast.
AGU has the breadth and depth to cover current reserach. Kudos to providing a public format for research.
