Part of the family

Yes you get science and facts and clear thinking and sanity.

But as you get to know them you also get a new family, with all the interplay of personalities and points of view, gentle Mickey taking and running jokes.

Incredible podcast

My favourite thing to listen to whilst working in the lab. This podcast has really helped me to think critically about the world around me. Couldn’t recommend more!
