ccshatzGo back to original styleWe can get giggly dialogue anywhere. I miss Sarah’s nice voice simply delivering information. Aug 1st Pompei made me cringe
-
Pmomof3I was hoping for science - I was misledI was wanting to listen to science, cutting edge research etc… instead I heard a monotone lecture about colonialism and another jab at our culture. If you want to have those conversations, fine… put it in a different podcast. Don’t get me here under false pretenses.

Mad grape seedProvide scripts please?As iOS Podcast rolled out this new feature, it would be great helpful if we can view the scripts.

Manny CampsNPR style narration but way more boringI listen to quite a few science podcasts and this one is by far the most boring one. The presentation of each topic is boring. I want more authentic narration, not the ridiculously animated NPR-Planet Money style of narration

eb ramírezInformativeSo easy to follow, awesome topics

ASPD1More time!Thanks for the show all! I love having a science news podcast to learn about stuff I hadn’t really thought about I wish more time was spent on the interviews-they are great topics! For example the latest episode about the cartels, I’d rather have 11 more minutes (or more!) of that interview than to hear about new fall games… seems like conflicting shows to me.

mondomando🍺I Prefer multiple topicsIn case the main topic does not interest me.

pcf0080One topicI agree-3 topics are too many Better to concentrate on only one

The Devonian KidChanges not for the better.I have changed my review from 5 to 2 stars because of two unfortunate changes. Rather than interviewing the authors of original papers, the host frequently just interviews another Science reporter. This produces a “scripted” effect and the enthusiasm of the real scientist-authors is missing. The podcast has also become very heavily committed to the current “woke” fashion, further reducing scientific content and approach. Really disappointing.
-
Abu ShibshibOne TopicIt might be worthwhile to focus on just one topic per episode. Sometimes I find myself interested in only 1 out of three of the topics discussed and therefore don’t listen to the episode
-
etherdogThalidomideThe problem with thalidomide is that there are two forms, left and right chirality and one form is fine and therapeutic and the other is mutagenic. When mass production began there was little understanding of the difference. Not describing this difference when discussing this drug is irresponsible.

Ron JL.Needs improvementYou need to improve your audio Fidelity. The sound quality must be improved. Discard anything but the best microphones. We live in a free society. This suggestion that someone cannot compete in this free-for-all society is absurd. Claiming victimhood is an easy way out For anyone who does not want to compete.

M DodgeSarah Crespi SuperstarSarah Crespi is one of my favorite interviewers and science communicators. She’s beyond amazing. When she interviews researchers, her questions are well-crafted and insightful, and she asks terrific follow-up questions. Any time I feel a little confused by an interviewee’s explanation, she asks exactly the right question to clarify things. All of my respect and admiration to such a skilled science communicator!

hydroxypropyl MethylcelluloseLove Sarah CrespiIn a toxic ocean of vocal fry and uptalk Sarah Crespi is a beautiful tropical island to save us all. It is so refreshing to listen to a science podcast that isn’t singularly focused on COVID-19 and climate change. Sarahs interviews are weaved flawlessly with insightful questions and innocent humor. She is supremely intelligent and confident during the interview. The shows are expertly edited and the sound quality is excellent. If my daughter displays an interest in journalism or any professional audio career I will play this podcast for her and say “this is how to do it”

Jdw alaskaJoel wGreat podcast. I really wish it was longer with more shows !! Quality science :)
-
Flex BrusquehardUnbefitting the journalWatered down pop science, overly political
-
VovveLennierEntertaining but misleadingAnother “popular science” podcast that entertains by dumbing down, oversimplifying, and flat out ignoring facts that contradict a chosen narrative. Critical (skeptical) thinking is fundamental to science but is utterly lacking in these stories.
-
听不了啊啊啊Nice content but too much ads!I just listened to the Dec 11th episode. After 10min of info came straight 2.5min of ads! I was biking and didn’t want to stop to fast forward. Those were painful 2.5min! I won’t listen to this podcast again when my hands are busy.
-
Babydust1974Won’t let me listen to episodes.Hello! I love your podcast and I always like to listen to them from oldest to newest. For some reason it won’t let me listen to the next episode I am on which is from 2014 about down syndrome. Can you please fix it so I can continue to listen to your podcast? Can you please fix your podcast so I can listen to the rest of 2014 episodes and then move on to 2015? Please?

Groucho the manConstant political BSA few good episodes, then nothing but political brainwashing and political bashing. I can’t rate it anymore. I like science because it is unbiased and refreshes my brain, this podcast puts a spin on every subject I just unsubscribed. Later
-
sarahgoldyIn depth and fascinating science newsThis is a great podcast that goes in depth into science and explains stories in detail. Topics include covid19 and also lots of other interesting areas from ecology to anorexia, ancient societies and neurology.
-
alisa wellsGreat podcast!Super informative!
-
ImnotanofficerSuch a wide variety of topics.It’s very interesting.
-
bm289458696Solid Science NewsCan be a teeny bit dull at times but very useful, informative and reliably intelligent. Info is made accessible to a wide audience.
-
raulatWow podcast!I am glad I get to listen to the science podcast as I get to work. Quick way to catchup on the latest. Love it!!
-
Go Army Beat Navy 2019Diverse and Intellectual Stimulation!Bottom Line: Highly recommend for anyone who is curious about world around them! From reports on beehive viruses to racial biases in algorithms, to observing cancer cells in dogs from antiquity, this is a very informative podcast! Easy to listen to, and you don’t have to be a scientist or STEM person to love!!! Recommended to me by a friend with PhD in organic chemistry!

resworb2091802AspirinI hope they take time to talk about the data for aspirin and wether it really helps Or hurts populations where it is used prophylactially in assymptomatic people despite being sponsors by Bauer aspirin !!!!!
-
AAASFanAAASFanScience podcast used to be great but it has really slipped.
-
Uh needs a lot of fixingGoodI like how you will tell a lot about the topic and details instead of skipping over them. It allows me to have a much better understanding of the topic.
-
DobzhanskyMilquetoast ScienceI want to like this podcast but it has all the personality of a beige wall, slowly drying. It’s not as if they don’t choose subjects that should be interesting, there’s plenty of potential, but it’s just not showing through. Where is your passion for your subject? Are you reading the questions and answers from auto cue? And what’s with that crap segue music? Yawn.

blehblahlah...PoorPleb access, dull. Not useful.
-
StamfordNewbyWeekly updateIt's great to find these well-produced podcasts that recap the last week of interesting science news. Casual, friendly delivery makes it accessible to non-scientists.
-
Matt?!Informative but...I find approximately 1 in 3 pieces very informative and fascinating. However, Science has succumbed to political correctness, putting a progressive spin on many stories by injecting opinions on top of the facts. Unfortunate.
-
gilledfreakThe BestSarah is amazing. Love this podcast
-
From the United StatesDownloading problemsHaving problems subscribing, i click on the link but nothing happens??

dbendyExcellentBy far my favorite science podcast and I listen to a lot of them. Love the host--she asks smart and intriguing questions and the content is always delightfully varied so you get an excellent snapshot of what's going on across various disciplines. Keep up the great work!
-
Margot Brinngreat programI love the interviewers excellent questions and the interviewees well researched answers.
-
FlipflappingflopperfaceSooo much funThank you for the brain material
-
ScottWatersGreat show but it's TOO LARGE!This deserves to be better. Why is this podcast 320bps? 64 would work just fine. Does anyone there understand the science of audio production?
-
OstiumPodcastGet Your Science Here!I listen to a large and growing number of science podcasts and this is definitely one of the good ones. I feel I'm getting a great dose of important science news from a variety of people each week.
-
PerryBorensteinGood information, wide array of topicsThis is a good podcast. It's a good overview of science topics. . The podcast also gives a rundown of articles in the current issue of Science Magazine. I'd love to hear a little more detail about those articles. While others have commented on how dry the delivery can be, my only issue is more the audio quality of some of the interviews.
-
ListenedToYa1Keeps Me CurrentFull of interesting information.
-
68NGreat varietyI love the variety of topics and listen to this podcast in my lab. I love this podcast as there isn't much annoying distracting sounds. The science is good, relevant, and the hosts get to the point. Hosts also seem interested in their topics whereas the guys from Nature seem bored half the time.
-
KarmaLee1235678975445775467Interesting!I love this podcast because you guys, along with "Nature" help me stay updated on new and interesting information!
-
michael.kavanaughI wish I could recommend itI read the journal. It's excellent. But it's painful to listen to to editors read scripts in an excruciatingly awkward fashion. I suppose they are trying to dumb down the content but that is not why I listen, I want to hear the undiluted content. I'd recommend the producers listen to the nature podcast, and take notes.

pimp of pixelsNo, women do not get paid 77c on the dollar for "the same work"That figure has been debunked a thousand times. Even when you control for full-time workers, women still work fewer hours (due to the definition of full-time being 35 hours), and tend to work in different professions. Accounting for all of these sorts of factors, there's still something around a 4 - 6 cent deficit unexplained, but is certainly not 77% for the "same work". 77%: true. Same work: false. Still 5 stars because I love the show, but that love is conditional on the continued impression that the show is unpolluted with political rhetoric. I just hate to hate to hear false information repeated by smart people, especially in the name of science.
-
Neuro catLove listening every weekThe stories are usually pretty intriguing, and leaves me filled in on the latest science news. Sarah Crespi keeps it entertaining and funny as well!
-
DanyulsonPays no mind to the phrase, "Make science fun".This podcast presents interesting topics and information in maybe the most boring format imaginable. The conversation between host and guest sounds like computer voices in a QA QA... format. The hosts' response to answers is typically, "interesting" then next question. They could definitely benefit from a producer with experience at startalk radio, stuff you should know, radiolab or similar shows. With a quick glance at the reviews I can see I'm not the only one that feels this way. Hopefully they take these reviews into consideration and change the format in the future because it has all the content in the world and tons of potential, it just needs a better show format.

isra54A decent podcastThe delivery isn't perfect but it isn't bad either, I didn't notice it until I read these other peoples' reviews. A podcast worth getting.
