Pretty much perfect bite-sized science
Short shows packed to the gills with facts and lucid explanations of things. I also still love the conversational shows from Wired, and sure hope they’re not going away forever, but these shorter more focused podcasts are an excellent addition. Now if only I still read print magazines, I’d actually subscribe. You know what, maybe I’ll do it anyway.
