Love the podcast. Great information. Rock solid topics of discussion
Audio quality is everything to a podcast
While the information is good, one would think that a physics podcast would pay attention more to the audio quality to convey the message.
Love the topic, sad about some of the content
I love the stories you present, and the episode about life on Venus is one of my favorite episodes of any podcast. Unfortunately, after listening to the episode on self driving cars, I am thoroughly embarrassed for both you and your guests that you had on. If I had no knowledge on the subject I would take away from the episode that full autonomous cars are at least 10-20 years away. Tesla literally has a full self driving beta out right now that seems no more than a few years from perfection. This reminds me of the people who said flying vehicles were hundreds of years away, only a few days before the wright brothers flew for the first time. I wish you would offer a correction for the guests you had on that had no knowledge of their own industry.
