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!

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.
