Customer Reviews
Another great podcast from Andrew Dunkley
As on the Space Nuts podcast, Andrew blends science and humour, always entertaining and informative. Halley the AI is fun, and some of her pronunciations are quaint, but an Aussie accent would be better 😊
Thanks also for the ad free production.
