Customer Reviews
Science Friday
Love the new format. I understand the commercials…matches most other podcasts
Long time listener missing full episodes
Long time listener missing the full length episodes that guided me through a mix of stories that I might not listen to if I had to select each individually.
Don’t mind the commercials, but please go back to the full format!!!!
A gem
Science Friday has been a "go to" for me for years. Often while cleaning up at the lab, we'd play it on NPR and it was a good intro for my undergrad students, to the nerdy, funny, gee-whiz aspects of science. Thanks for a real gem of a program!
