Customer Reviews
Good newsy podcast
Despite the jarring theme music it is a good, solid podcast on dense topics and the host is great. Good work!
Eclipse
Watching this eclipse does not make scientist. It is a very temporary item we do not become totally dark
I agree that watching this is very dangerous if not properly protected. Probably better left alone. Let the real scientist view this and write on it. It happens across the world a lot more often than 300 times in 2000 years.
Take what you can get
If you’re looking for an unbiased news podcast this isn’t it but there aren’t a lot of options for Canadian News Podcasts, so you take what you can get.
