burnbizzleExcellent podcast and great hostThis is an excellent podcast with great topics and well hosted. It’s nice when the host covers the topic with enough knowledge to ask intelligent and insightful questions that allows the key elements to be covered. Keep up the good work!
-
blindGuyJoeThanks for a GREAT show!Thanks Roland for a GREAT presentation & thanks to the producer for a GREAT podcast!
-
mondomando🍺Beat all aroundBest all around science show out there. I’ve been listening since the start and I never cease to be amazed at our world. I’m glad the Covid coverage is minimised now though.
-
OskiBearHomiePleasure for a scientific omnivoreThe range of topics on the show are delightfully varied, with conceptual depth, timeliness, and moderation by a knowledgeable host.

hydroxypropyl MethylcelluloseTired of theBeen listening for two years now , apparently the only thing worthy of reporting on has been Covid 19 and climate change. These are the only 2 subjects on the entire planet happening in science. Lucky for us, this is the only program that reports on these 2 subjects. There is nowhere else to get this information. I’ll check back in in two more years, maybe they’ll have found a third subject by then. As for now… unsubscribe.

etherdogGreat science podcastI am so glad the BBC gave Pease a chance.

Irving679My favorite science podcastI like to listen to this podcast while commuting to my work at the lab to get myself excited about the nitty gritty of science. They do a bunch of short interviews per episode on science that’s still a work in progress instead of just celebrating people after they have had an established career. They are great at interviewing people and pick a wide variety of guests.

1000laurieThank you!Sadly my government can’t clearly (truthfully) tell me the scientific benefits/risks & how safe/effective convalescent plasma is. This episode was clear & scientific. So happy I can rely on the BBC.

Must for Droid convertersPure, unfiltered, unbiased, scienceIf you’re looking for science that’s not watered down so you can be informed in ways the news media cannot offer, this is the place for you.
-
Mantis79GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES EVERYTHINGEverything is caused by climate change and CO2 is toxic deadly gas plus astronomy - that pretty much sums it up. Do scientists focus on real toxins on earth at all I wonder? How about new technologies to clean up the earth from industrial waste?

JayGeeEssThe BEST science reportingThe stories are timely and important. Roland Pease is an excellent science reporter. He asks informed, thoughtful and pertinent questions. I listen to several science podcasts and this one is the best. I look forward to each and every episode.
-
Jack_McCoyAmazing Science ShowIt can be tough to keep up with the latest science findings, but this show has you covered. It’s a great recap of the biggest and most interesting science studies and stories, delivered each week. It goes into plenty of detail, great for science enthusiasts and curious minds in general. In many cases you get to hear from the scientists and researchers themselves. Sometimes there is overlap between this show and the BBC Inside Science program.

brainzmatterIn my top twoEven if a segment has already been covered in another Podcast, I always find Roland Pease (adore that name!) will be worth listening to for his own insightful take on the subject.
-
mhodginsNot bad...Overall, I love this podcast and its part of my normal group. They cover a wide range of topics, always very interesting and informative. Unfortunately, they've started letting the producer get involved and she's obnoxious. It seems like they are trying to make part of the show more conversational, but it's a failed attempt. It was better when it was just the host and the interviews.

Davo91Great podcast! Love every episode of it.Great podcast! Love every episode of it.

Jack E. Holt IIIConcise, exciting showGood science excites the mind. A good science podcast does the same thing. This is a thumbnail sketch of recent scientific breakthroughs and conundrums which makes the listener say "Hmmmmm. That's funny. . . ." And go find out more. Isaac Asimov would be proud.
-
Uptown LakesGreat for science-phobes like me!Thank you for making science so accessible. Love it!

Gudrun11GudrunIf you are interested in science, this is a good program. Things are thoroughly explaned but never boring. It´s worth trying out.
