Customer Reviews
Great pod! Great info from great hosts!
Been listening for years now. I never get tired of this podcast. Daniel and Jorge manage to keep the episodes fresh and informative. If you have any curiosity about astronomy, cosmology, physics or anything related you will love this pod. The chemistry between the hosts is very likable and seems natural. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested about our natural world and what it’s made of.
Terrific!
Great, fun and so informative! If you are reading your comments, can you do a podcast on: Gravity - how can there be gravitons if gravity is just a bending of space-time. Whats up with that?
Y’all are the best!
Comedy
Guys just don't push on the comedy part. Daniel's fake laugh reminds of infamous Jimmy Kimmel. Jorge is not witty though he's smart, makes good points and ask right questions.
