The guardian science is one of the best podcasts out there. They’re pretty short, well written, detail and character, they make science come alive, and they also tackled some of the biggest challenges of our world today – aging, the environment, climate, food and agriculture,sustainability and technology, the brain, etc. The journey with our thoughtful and it’s clear they worked really hard. You should definitely drive!

love the podcast, am a guardian subscriber, and the guests - excellent info on supplements and multivitamins, recently, for young and old alike

So sad, yet not surprised, about the global decline in the sounds, the bird call etc, the Biophony of the woodlands. And so glad to have learned the word and its meaning, and the impact human activity has had on the natural world.

All of the hosts are brilliant

My experience with this podcast was far from satisfactory. It lacked the key elements necessary for an engaging and memorable listening journey. Regrettably, the hosts' monotonous delivery, coupled with subpar production quality, absence of structure, unnecessarily lengthy episodes, and unimpressive guest selection, contributed to an underwhelming and forgettable experience. In today's vast landscape of exceptional podcasts, this offering failed to meet even the most fundamental standards of quality and entertainment. I strongly encourage exploring alternative options that feature engaging hosts, well-produced episodes, and valuable insights to make the most of your podcast listening time.

SCIFRI science Friday was a go to but they became political and now lacks real discussion and learning. This program well worth your time.

I’ve been listening to Science Weekly for a long time. It started going downhill after Alok Jha left the show. It has interesting episodes every now and then but seems mostly focused on topics that are politically hot at the moment. Case in point: the week after the 2022 Nobel prizes were announced, did Science Weekly cover the prizes related to science? NO! Instead, they had a show entitled “Why does Elon Musk want to buy Twitter?” Are you kidding me?! We are now 3 weeks after the Nobel announcements and still no coverage. Instead we have episodes on the ethics of putting human brain cells in rats, how to grieve for the natural world, and concussions. I imagine that sometimes it is hard to come up with topics, but every year the topics for 2-3 episodes are given to you on a platter. My advice to the producers of this declining podcast: pick the low hanging fruit that is right in front of you.

Pretty basic and too often lacking in depth. It’s not a bad source for the latest conservation/environmentalism news, but expect overviews rather than deep exploration. Too much time is wasted with bumper music, foley effects, and other forms of padding. If you have a strong knowledge base of the topic at hand, you’ll more often than not come away unimpressed. Oh, and and some of it is just pop drivel—“Why does Boris Johnson want to bring back imperial units?” “Why do we grieve the death of public figures?” A more important question is: why should I care?

1) if you label yourself a science show, don’t talk about Russian - Ukrainian info wars. No pretext of science at all 2) DEFINITELY don’t be a buncha British people trying to analyze US politics. We actually have free speech here, but that doesn’t make it in good taste.

I understand scientists need government funding to live, but at least don’t give up the principles of science. Invest the problem please! Not tell the factor you like but cover the factor you don’t like! This is real disinformation!
