Customer Reviews
Informative and Fun!
It's a wonderful setup. Doug takes his young nephew Brandon on a journey every episode, each time exploring a new scientific concept in a way that is both engaging and entertaining. The listener can take heart knowing that Brandon is getting an education he could scarcely find anywhere else, but the real secret is that we're learning just as much as he is.
