Science education is a fine investment. However, this program frequently displays it's radical political bent instead of portraying clearly the educational realm of Science, and it's disingenuous to mislead the audience. I will unsubscribe now and check back again perhaps in one year's time.

This has been my place to go for the current science news for years and often shared by the reasearchers' themselves.

I normally enjoy this podcast, but the latest edition is causing me to consider unsubscribing. It is hard to sound intelligent with so many mispronounciations. For example, in 30 seconds the host mispronounces "contingent" and then the expert guest mixes up "adopts" and "adapts".

I've loved this show for years and it's great to have a podcast so I can listen to it in my own time, especially as I don't live in the US.

not much science. Mostly, climate change lobbying, social justice issues and science politics. Better science podcasts elsewhere.
