Customer Reviews
What an awesome podcast
I drifted over here from StarTalk after the conversations continuously moved away from science into attempted humor. I have enjoyed every episode tremendously. I especially enjoy the Q&As, but everything so far has been interesting. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic!
Fraser’s Q&A episodes are fun and educational. I find myself listening to each one several times. This is quality programming at its best.
Excellent
Fun and educational - good job !
