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!
Loving the new episodes
Excellent podcast - loving the new hosts! Learning lots and enjoying the chat, super interesting topics :)
Last season not so great
Sorry but the latest season is more about politics than the cosmos.
Used to be astounding in the first few seasons to hear the universe layed out in a beautiful fashion.
Just hope they get back to the core of the show and try to induce that vertigo again!
