Schlossie 79Waste of timeTotal waste of time. Instead of scientific podcast this is a political brainwashing.

hydroxypropyl MethylcelluloseI think I’ll try something elseThe inclusion of “ CultureLab” and “DeadPlanetSociety” in the weekly feed is just too much. After I skip these, then skip the Climate doom stuff I’m only left with -10% of content. Then the space lady laughs after every 3rd sentence like she’s nervous to be doing a podcast or something. I’ll just look for a science show without all this stuff, thanks for trying too hard. (fyi: MORE content doesn’t really matter if it’s not GOOD content) *unsubscribe*

Greybird17Why give us an American? America is already too loud!This may be superficial but it is true for me. I am from the US and our country is presently so divided and acrimonious that one of the pleasures of listening to this podcast was the prevalence of British accents and a point of view that lay outside of US craziness. I know that the content has not changed, but I no longer get the feeling of an audio vacation when one of the hosts busts in with that horrible accent. What were you thinking? This may seem frivolous and unreasonable but it’s true for me: the addition of an American sounding voice dropped the star count from five stars to three. (And I’m being charitable, as my own enjoyment dropped from 5 stars to 1 or even less. Somehow it’s harder to listen to that single nasal American accent amidst the Brits than it is to listen to a group of my fellow citizens. But I do actually enjoy the content.)

moving on-missuCut the weak limbsYour 30000 year old amputation story is not worth saving and should be removed. It was 100% speculation and below par for the show and for inebriated 21 year olds at the bar or a dungeon and dragon Tuesday night meeting. Please review before posting or we’ll all need to cut the podcast off to save our dignity.

HaraldSI there is only one podcast to listen to, it’s this one!The only bad thing about this intelligent, informative, and entertaining podcast is that it’s only once a week. I would love it daily. It’s the one podcast I never miss.
