Customer Reviews
Started off solid, then faultered
Don't be deceived by the production dates -- this is NOT a 2009 podcast.
The four 2006 episodes available are good, but Exploratorium failed to follow through. This is sad because the subject potential is as vast as the earth. Because they faultered in their production, I must give Faultline only 2 stars. Perhaps they can get their feet under themselves sometime in the future, but for now Faultline is not worthwhile.
