I love this show. The show drops on Fridays. I look forward to my commute home every Friday.
Apple Podcasts5Mikeology 101United States3 years ago - Well thought out and fun to listen to
This Week In Space is entertaining and well planned. I enjoy the up to date and latest news, and the guests are experts in their field who do not condescend. In other words, this show can come down to a layman’s level - thank goodness! What I also really respect is that the show does not interject politics- very refreshing- and I attribute and compliment that to the two hosts. Thank you for an educational, yet fun listen.
