It's hard to estimate the value of this podcast
06/01/2006
This podcast stands out as pretty much constantly astounding. As someone who writes about science for a living, the 'scientific' concepts here are rendered in an enviably fascinating and pretty much idiot-proof way. It's a testament to the skills of the hosts in their use of the audio format that they can cruise through really complex stuff and give the ordinary listener entertainment and learning in a single scoop. This is the best. Now if they would only get season one on itunes....

Let the interviewee talk
3d ago
Tremendously interesting subject. Unfortunately, the host kept speaking over the interviewee telling the listener what the interview is saying. Would much have preferred to hear the man talk himself.
Once upon a time, consistently insightful and fascinating. No longer.

The current hosts are no match for the originators. They don’t seem like serious people.. They can’t speak the language without sounding like uneducated teenagers. They compromise their credibility with up-talk, and verbal ticks… ‘like’ seems to be every other word. Also, it seems the focus has turned from science to social issues. It’s just plain boring now. If it weren’t for the rehashing of old shows, which are like revisiting, old friends, I have to say the new version doesn’t deserve to be called radio lab. i’m sorry to write this negative review. Because this truly was a seminal podcast.. But it’s become so mediocre. I’m sure the hosts mean well, but they’re just not prepared to fill the shoes they’re trying to fill.
