New Scientist Podcasts

Great content and really useful but please try to put facts into context eg piece on inability of geological carbon capture gave no idea of how significant this was as proportion of total capture. Also please pronounce scientific terms properly- many examples but latest was tinnitus (both short i)

My Dad has followed New Scientist almost his whole life. My grandma put him onto the magazine when he was young. She was a biology teacher and told him; “This is a good publication, follow this.” He went on to study natural science at Cambridge university. Inspiration is the key. The podcast team have nailed it. Always exciting, digestible and interesting. The podcast has well structured dialogue and themed segments that keep you eager for more. So then you have to go and read the articles! New Scientist and the team are a force for good.

I have been a subscriber to New Scientist since it began in the ‘60s, and regard the magazine as an important part of my news and current affairs information. This podcast is maddening however, dumbed down and interrupted by advertisements. Reading one can ignore an advert which is of no interest, here you have to endure it or break concentration to skip it.

It has extremely liberal woke leanings. In the pockets of big pharma and constantly pushing the global warming political/industrial complex agenda. It’s not what the new scientist was back in the 80s, purely about science. It’s a hopelessly infected organism, sign of the times.
