Customer Reviews
Excellent and uplifting
I listen to a lot of news and climate podcasts, which can be a bit sad. This is an excellent podcast that catalogues some of the awesome stuff that comes with living in this era. And Sarah has done a great job carrying on from Mat!
Mea Culpa
Back in the early 1980’s near Cal Tech I asked Carl Sagan if he’d say “Help me Mr. Wizard.” He didn’t see the humor in my bit of snark. When I asked Richard Feynman what he thought about my comment he laughed. These days I find myself wishing that I’d just kept my mouth shut…. What’s the point of this name dropping confession? This: I love astronomy and I endorse this podcast.
Too much unnecessary laughter
Not to be a jerk, but I find the new host, nervous, laughter, annoying and I basically quit listening..
