Customer Reviews
Opening my eyes to physics!
This podcast has been such an essential part of my journey into physics. I love the challenging concepts that they talk about and the back to basics explanations. The exposure to Matt Strassler has been eye opening as well. A must listen to anyone who seeks more knowledge about our universe!
Interesting topics, annoying banter
Most episodes are 15 minutes of extremely annoying back-and-forth before anything gets discussed, and the extremely low, bass-boosted whispering of Daniel chuckling constantly makes me want to move on to a different show. It’s like an NPR smooth jazz radio station meets TED talk.
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.
