Customer Reviews
Is got better as it has widened its focus
Sean Carrol was good when he was talking mainly about cosmology and particle physics but his move to JH and his new direction has brought extra depth and interest to this podcast
Physics explained
Sean Carroll tries to get guests on his podcast but unfortunately I have to say I really enjoy his solo podcasts far more. They are packed with information and explanations as dense like a neutron star. I just got the first volume of Biggest Ideas but eagerly waiting for upcoming volumes. Secrets of Einstein’s equations was a great podcast. Thanks Dr Sean Carroll

Fantastic podcast
I love everything about this podcast. The guests are great, the discussions are more technical than other podcasts of this kind, and the questioning by Sean is fantastic.
