Just a great show

Just a great science show, not quite deep enough but time is an issue. But you get the facts as they see them in an honest grounded format. Keep up the great work Guys👍😊

Wonderful

The mixing of arts and politics only serves to underline the presenter’s skill and the central place science occupies in our broader world. Has been covering global warming for 50+ years. Doesn’t treat you like an idiot. Wonderful broad science show with great pieces on wildlife, physics, and advances in medical technology. Outstanding presenter is one of the best interviewers on all radio.
