Customer Reviews
Recommended by Science Friday
Any podcast recommended by Science Friday is going to be good, but having Jess Phoenix as host has made it outstanding!
Better with Scientists

Que interesante que estén presentando entrevistas en español, que la población latina pueda entender y buscar la forma de aportar con ideas y soluciones a la problemática climática en general. Esperemos que se extiendan las entrevistas a presentaciones en general sobre esta temática tan controvertida pero necesaria para la sobrevivencia de nuestro planeta.
