While most of the science content in podcasts is too shallow, this one gets a at least a bit more into the core of it all. Great content!

United States2 months ago - Way to talk above the average person.
So I listened to the episode on quantum computing and was just lost. This would be fine if I was a post grad or doctoral student, but I am not. So maybe not waste our time and just put that out front that you only want listeners who have a PhD. No wonder most people can’t stand eggheads…
Apple Podcasts2John VerValenUnited States2 months ago - Big ideas explained clearly
Big ideas explained clearly. Love the clear vocals and good audio - obviously important for a podcast. This is unabashedly one of my new favorite cosmology podcasts. The 2 presenters speak clearly and simply about deep and complex topics proving relevant background. A must listen!
