Customer Reviews
Oof. John Philip “Sow”-sa?
Sousa. Hence the “Sousa”-phone. Those are those huge, marching tuba you see in marching bands, with the bells facing forward. they actually look much larger than a regular tuba. Also MOOG is pronounced Moge, rhymes with rogue. Other than that keep up the outstanding work. Voices of reason and inquiry in a desert of foolishness.
Research better
For a show about science communication, the easiest way to show you don’t fully research is the constant mispronunciations. I can get it in the moment, but for a researched piece it shows a lack of professionalism.
Bob is the only one worth hearing from - physics and all. Evan tries to be funny but falls flat, as does Jay. Steve is just a know it all who seemingly needs to out his approval on everything, and Cara is even worse with her constant interruptions and holier than thou comments.
It used to be good, but I’m losing interest in spending the time, even at double speed.
Andrea Jones Rooy
Been a an avid listener for a year. Today, I heard Andrea Jones Rooy—who easily equals my wife. She should be a mainstay.
