Customer Reviews
Best science podcast
Covering virtually every interesting topic you can think of, Mindscape is by far the best science podcast I’ve come across. Sean is the perfect host: he speaks fluently and articulately, he knows enough about each topic to ask the right questions (and to sometimes challenge the guest), and most importantly, he is intensely curious about how the world works.
5* highly recommended!
