Customer Reviews
Excellent
All the episodes are great, but I really love the deep dives this podcast goes on with its interviews. It’s a joy to listen to.
Wonderful
Fraser does such a great job explaining the wonders and mysteries of the universe. I’ve been listening for years now and it never gets old.
So Fantastic!
I’ve be listening to Fraser’s podcasts for the twelve years. Recently I decided to take an astronomy course. It’s the only university level class I’ve ever taken. I’ve learned so much from Fraser that I aced the class. It was really awesome to feel so confident in an academic setting. Thanks Fraser!
