This is me and my review
Hi my name is Pandora and I’m 12 years old and I LOVE astronomy and science so I discovered this podcast and I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you for making this podcast and expanding my mind, really thank you so much
How Did They Know?
This podcast brings together two of my favorite things: the enigmatic universe and John Greene’s commentary.
From someone whose focus is usually literature and education, the way these two hosts collaborate to explain something that feels so incredibly dense is quite engaging. And, yes, I still had to listen to each episode twice, but it was worth it. Thank you. I am so grateful this is being made!
Literally awesome show
What a wonderful podcast, wherein John Green tries to find the fault in our… terms for concepts in astrophysics
