Customer Reviews
My favourite podcast in the whole (known) universe!
EDIT: The first two seasons are phenomenal! So many learnings, but sadly the latest season is more of a discussion about politics rather than science. I get that things evolve, but this season should have been a completely new podcast so as to keep the original in tact.
Original review: Such an informative and exciting podcast. I get inspired to learn as much as I can about the universe and they present it in such a 'down to earth' way. Alan and Amanda have really nice voices to listen to. I keep re-listening to the same episodes while I desperately wait for new ones, but I'm still hearing bits I must have missed!
First 2 seasons were amazing!
Really loved the first two seasons. Perhaps my most favourite podcast of all time. But, the last season sucked. So sadly can only give 3 stars overall, which robs the first two seasons as they are 100% 5 stars! Please Alan and Amanda could you make another season?
Loving the new episodes
Excellent podcast - loving the new hosts! Learning lots and enjoying the chat, super interesting topics :)
