Good

Good, fun, informative show talking about science. The only downside is the silly sound effects.

eitak55 ,

Background noise?

What is with the sporadic background noise? It is so distracting and annoying; I can’t concentrate on the content

James99999 ,

Informative and entertaining

Dr Jack and Leanna Byrd pick interesting articles from science journals, digest them and discuss them in an entertaining and easy to understand way. I’ve been listening for many months now and I really enjoy every episode.
