Just listen to the rant about Trump’s “attack on science”. First you attacked NOAA data missing! Then admitted that it was routine maintenance! (Not Trump) Then you attacked the review of health related grants. But “admitted” that they were running again. Finally you said that you don’t know why programs and grants were being reviewed. 77 million voters in the US have asked why we are $37TRILLION in debt! Is there any reason why programs are being reviewed? USAID is still flowing to true humanity aid!! Next ‘story’ was about songs of the whale. Well, that has been researched for 30 + years and your story said research is still being conducted. End of story, so that is a waste of time Finally we heard about cooking eggs. That is the only reason I gave you two stars instead on one.

Since when has new scientist become so political? You’ve lost a listener here. Stick to science

Total waste of time. Instead of scientific podcast this is a political brainwashing.

Really intetesting and no wasted time.

Kolbert is an alarmist spouting nonsense

The inclusion of “ CultureLab” and “DeadPlanetSociety” in the weekly feed is just too much. After I skip these, then skip the Climate doom stuff I’m only left with -10% of content. Then the space lady laughs after every 3rd sentence like she’s nervous to be doing a podcast or something. I’ll just look for a science show without all this stuff, thanks for trying too hard. (fyi: MORE content doesn’t really matter if it’s not GOOD content) *unsubscribe*

This may be superficial but it is true for me. I am from the US and our country is presently so divided and acrimonious that one of the pleasures of listening to this podcast was the prevalence of British accents and a point of view that lay outside of US craziness. I know that the content has not changed, but I no longer get the feeling of an audio vacation when one of the hosts busts in with that horrible accent. What were you thinking? This may seem frivolous and unreasonable but it’s true for me: the addition of an American sounding voice dropped the star count from five stars to three. (And I’m being charitable, as my own enjoyment dropped from 5 stars to 1 or even less. Somehow it’s harder to listen to that single nasal American accent amidst the Brits than it is to listen to a group of my fellow citizens. But I do actually enjoy the content.)

Your 30000 year old amputation story is not worth saving and should be removed. It was 100% speculation and below par for the show and for inebriated 21 year olds at the bar or a dungeon and dragon Tuesday night meeting. Please review before posting or we’ll all need to cut the podcast off to save our dignity.

The only bad thing about this intelligent, informative, and entertaining podcast is that it’s only once a week. I would love it daily. It’s the one podcast I never miss.

Great content, Tiffany is annoying - annoying voice, annoying questions not sure why she is in the podcast

enough with the corona talk

We subscribe to the weekly New Scientist magazine as well. Enjoy listening to NS podcast while waiting for new issue!

i’m not a scientist but love new scientist magazine. you get the latest academic journal news condensed in a way the merely curious (not trained) can grock. this podcast is a great addition. likeable, interesting hosts with a fun bit about sci fi come true each week. don’t miss!

So stoked this publication finally made a podcast. I’ve been hoping for this. Really well done, I just wish the eps were longer! Cheers!
