Love this

I just listened to my first episode about the deaths of howler monkeys due to extreme heat. Great content which examines not just the science of the subject but includes discussion about the economic aspects and issues surrounding it. I loved the everything about the episode and I'll be back for more. I'm looking forward to the episodes about phage therapy for resistant bacterial infections, lab grown chicken for sale, research on saunas fighting depression and the episode about the role of volcanism in the extinction of the dinosaurs. Great narration with the host's relaxing voice. Some reviewers mentioned sound quality. The sound quality is now excellent. This podcast needs to advertise on other science and medicine podcasts. It's not as well known as it deserves to be.

WIRED Science - good stories, lousy sound recently

Please keep up the good work. Consistently interesting. Lately, though, the recording is much too faint to hear, with advertising at regular volume levels! Help -I can only listen in very quiet environment.

Best of WIRED on the go

It's great to be able to digest articles on the go thanks to this service. The half-dozen vocies that read me the latest WIRED articles have become SO familiar to me, I often hear their voices when I'm reading articles on my tablet!

Thanks for everything you read, you guys.
