Customer Reviews
Full score but still....
Hi,
Really really love your podcast!! If I can put my little finger on one thing, it must be the absence of the use of the metric system. Yes, I know you probably have more listeners from the states who are used to the customary units, and it might be wrong to have the majority of listeners having to rewire their heads instantaneously when all these facts and figures are pouring out from the earbuds.
Anyway, I don’t expect you to change this, but now I’ve at least said it
PS: But I really hope one day that we all can agree on one system (metric that is), at least in the field of science.
Love
