This Is Science with Jess Phoenix

Any podcast recommended by Science Friday is going to be good, but having Jess Phoenix as host has made it outstanding!

The episodes where we speak with scientists vs book authors or lawyers are defiantly better.

Que interesante que estén presentando entrevistas en español, que la población latina pueda entender y buscar la forma de aportar con ideas y soluciones a la problemática climática en general. Esperemos que se extiendan las entrevistas a presentaciones en general sobre esta temática tan controvertida pero necesaria para la sobrevivencia de nuestro planeta.

As a longtime UCS member, I was excited when the “Got Science?” podcast first came out a few years ago. Unfortunately, things were pretty shaky back then and the was hardly worth a listen. The interviews were stiff, robotic, and amateurish. I decided to stick it out, however, and keep listening. Things began to change when Colleen MacDonald was brought in as podcast host. Her more natural, genuine, and spontaneous style elevated the show’s appeal. Better, more articulate guests began to appear, and Colleen was good at asking the kinds of questions any concerned citizen would want to ask. The choice of topics has been solid and the show has finally hit its stride. Nowadays, I look forward to each bi-weekly episode. Brian Middleton’s theme music is cool, especially that thumping bass guitar. The occasional episodes in Spanish are a welcome feature as I enjoy a chance to work on my Español. Keep up the good work UCS!
