Short Wave

From this ‘Short Wave’ episode of the Volvos and how their oxytocin help them to pair with another (preciously, regardless of interference), there are times I feel I experience slight too often, but at such rate it teaches you things if you pay really close attention to whatever episode you may encounter. It disciplines you, and at same is very much appreciative. - s.jxn - ga

The little girl voices oohing over “hard” or “new” basic scientific words is nauseating. I’ve finally had enough.

What is up with the music during the dialogue? Why don you guys find the compulsion to play it? It’s distracting and detracts from the dialogue. I often find myself focusing on the music as the main part and the dialogue becomes background noise, especially when the guest speaker is not loud and clear and English is not the first language. Please stop the music during dialogue! And please stop playing that infuriating, and odious “space music” whenever there’s a show about the cosmos; don’t need it. The cosmos is mesmerizing enough on its own. Just let the dialogue overwhelm the ears with crisp, clear, loud, vociferous sounds. For example, with the Something you should know podcast, or Money Matters with Ken Moraif podcast. Learn from those!!!

Great delivery of science-oriented facts and education for the non-professional in a quick 10-15 minutes. a wide range of topics. a good balance between serious info with just a touch of humor or silliness.
