Science Quickly

Great listening. Science quickly is a breath of fresh air.

I guess it’s a SciAm thing. I may have to find a real, hard science news podcast somewhere else. The level of left leaning snark and commentary in the news reports has increased since 2018. I’m personally sick of it. I want to learn about new advances in science. Not hear an editorial slant in either direction. I get enough of that from every single other media source I’m exposed to. Bring the science back to Scientific American.

I have been listening to this podcast for the last few years and truly enjoyed the little snippets of information they pack into each episode. In one of the “Your Health Quickly” Episodes, I was disappointed to hear the name calling that targeted two people as “anti-vaxxers”. Without actually researching the folks they “called out” (to see if it is indeed accurate), to understand their views, and perhaps even learn that at least one of them is NOT actually an “anti-vaxxer”, they followed the “mainstream narrative” and labeled them. The Episode still would have been just as informative if they left their names out. The information in the episode was timely and accurate about everything else. I would have thought name calling was beneath this good Podcast. Since then…your Podcast has turned into a mouthpiece for politics. I was interested in the Science that is in your title…not the political junk. We hear enough of that garbage on all of the other platforms. I originally wanted to listen to this Podcast to learn new, refreshing things, but you haven’t stopped the barrage of politics. To keep my sanity, I am no longer following your Podcast. Do better.

I love this show! Very fascinating science news, while also respecting the edge of fact and theory. This is one of my favorite podcasts.
