Customer Reviews
The Cosmic Shed brought me here...
The 'Tracking Neutrinos' episode was great. I found it really entertaining and informative, a great balance of expert insight but delivered and presented in a way I could understand without feeling spoken down to.
The host Andrew Glester also does The Cosmic Shed podcast which I have heard and liked. Hope he continues to produce the IoP Physic World podcast too!
Just right
Just Good science well spoken…no music thank goodness.
Wonderful
Brilliant guests, fascinating science topics and really accessible without being dumbed down at all.
Keep them coming!
