The Disappearing Spoon: a science history podcast with Sam Kean

The concept of this show is great, but it’s too short and has too many commercials.

Good podcast but too many adds

I like the research and content, but have had to stop listening due to the production choices to use sound effects and foley, especially the eating and drinking ones. If you have misophonia you can regularly, suddenly be triggered by some unnecessary sound ( if you don’t have misophonia, just to understand, it activates fight or flight, makes me want to jump out of my skin. Think nails on a chalkboard.)

My initial thought after listening to my first episode was ‘I WANT MORE’ and said episode wasn’t long enough! But no, I quickly realized this could be by design and that I’ll be able to dip my toes in many different areas that I may not normally be exposed to. SUCH a refreshing find.
