It’s great to have essentially a research paper presentation that is well produced and well cited. And the diversity of the fields also helps me understand what the hot topics in other fields are. Great stuff , can’t believe this is all free !

Never has a magazine made knowledge as accessible as Quanta. Wonderful podcast
Really well written!
I am not a scientist but find the ideas fascinating and the applications and implications of what’s covered here range wide. The writing so clearly makes it understandable. As Feinman said, even the most complex ideas are communicable in plain language. I’ve had many fascinating hours listening through the archive. Don’t change a thing! Just more please... and Thank You!
