The irony of the title hasn’t escaped me btw....

I love this guy, he entertains and educates about all things space. I have always had a curiosity about the universe and science in general, but have never really been able to explore that curiosity until recently, until watching and reading everything with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I feel I’m expanding my horizon and learning every time I tune in.

Neil is great, I really like him but the choice of music is the worst one ever, most of the times I have to keep skipping forward because the music is so crap! Beginning with the intro ! Terrible ! Honestly !

The noise of my hoover as a intro/outro music will be a great improvement compared with what you have at the moment !

But I still love you, keep up the good work

A absolutely amazing podcast for learning new things and things in depth. Really is mind blowing stuff at times

inspiring every generation

Why do you have to try to be so smartarsed and ‘funny’. It’s a science podcast - so why do we constantly need the kind of pathetic comments that you would get if having this discussion after 3 hours in a bar.

I’m off to a more serious and less cringey science podcast.

A show with some of the worlds greatest minds can sometimes (for me) be a bit of a struggle to follow the concepts. This isn’t surprising. But what is, is the other end of the spectrum when it can be pitched towards the lowest common denominator and the humour is often below the level of the (often top end) stand up comics.

The subjects or the political message can be lazy and uninteresting.

I would like to block anything with Bill Nye or the Crappy Science in sport thing.

;)

If you're a science fan, then this is the podcast for you! The brilliant and elegant Neil Degrasse Tyson joins a host of great comedians, celebrities and colleagues to explore, discuss and debate the universe around us.

It's a great listen that will keep you thoroughly entertained and keep you thinking.

As a Star Talk listener for years I can't believe I haven't gotten round to a review sooner. I really love the pop culture tie-in Cosmic queries but I've been listening so long for a reason.

Have to say as a personal preference I'm not really into the recent Sports editions; but that's not a reflection on the quality of the show just a lack of interest and knowledge of sports in general so found myself giving up half way through.

While there is some invaluable nuggets of information to be found in each episode, the comedians are a constant source of annoyance. The humor is extremely infantile and the guests constantly are fighting for attention with bad jokes and embarrassing comments. Maybe this is necessary to attract the less educated to topics like physics and astronomy. For anybody with even a baseline understanding or interest, this show will be highly frustrating

I did listen to this and gave it a chance, Bill Nye and Neil are naturally funny and great communicators. so I really don't see the need for the many so so comedians that seem to feature on here. Plus these last few months, there seems to be a segment about 3D printers at the end of every tedious, and it's just not interesting. Some of the older episodes are well worth a listen though

I've wanted a podcast about science/astronomy for so long. Being hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson makes it all the more better!

Great mix of comedy and science.

Neil Degrasse Tyson is superb as is Bill Nye when he's featured! Very informative program that succesfully fuses pop culture with the current trends and discoveries occuring within modern science.

To Neil and his team

I absolutely love the whole team and the show is really well put together! Structure, length, content and guests are perfect!

Keep it going!

I listen every time, funny and interesting :)

Makes big scientific concepts easier to understand

I didn't realise this literally was a radio show....in this instance, interviews with interesting people, constantly interrupted by banal radio banter. Couldn't make it through one podcast.

Really disappointing. 😞

Great content but the format is hot fiery garbage. Excessive and unnecessary breaks and voiceovers. Annoying punny song clips. Ads every ten seconds. It's like TV or radio show and I'm on the Internet because I hate those shows. Cut the format rubbish and it would be good

If you want to know about the universe in a fun and enjoyable way you can't go wrong with this podcast. Just skip through the adverts.

I love shows of this ilk….Infinite Monkey cage and so on. But sometimes they are almost unlistenable due to the constant interjections from incredibly unfunny guest comedians…Eugene Mirman, Jermaine Clement and Michael Che on StarTalk Live! Climate Change for example.

They where actually embarrassing to listen to. I cringed every time they interrupted the guest scientists. I am sure Bill Nye was as well as can be heard in his responses and forced polite laughter.

Please either get comedians that are actually funny or tell them to shut up till the grown ups have finished speaking.

I can't get enough DGT. I love the content, the delivery, the geeky humour and the great guests of the podcast. I'm a science layman but this show should appeal to most people. DGT makes thinks accessible to the average person and if that's increasing a public interest in science it can only be a good thing.

I will admit I'm a little upset that since the expansion to the TV show I don't get a separate podcast - it's just the same recording. I was hoping for double DGT!

Some interesting topics but presenters are obsessed with their status. Try counting how many times Bill Nigh lets you know he's the CEO. Annoying. What a shame.

Its Neil, its science, its further expanding the true nature of humans - exploration and the mysteries of the universe.

Neil Degrass Tyson = science god.

incredible

Way too much advertising.

Some episodes are interesting, but increasingly the advertising takes over. They will try to sell you anything. The astonishing greed behind the decision to include so much advertising is so disappointing, especially considering Tyson's regular lucrative media appearances. I gave them a good run, hoping they'd calm down with the advertising, but no. If anything, they've become worse.

This man is a legend. I don't think any show mixes science, humour and entertainment so well as Dr Tyson's does. Long may it continue.

Every single podcast that has been released by Startalk gets an easy 5 star rating from me. Each podcast consistantly lets listeners happily swim around the glorious mind of Neil d. Tyson, who never fails to engage in talking in a manner so satisfying it leaves novices and experts of science delighted. Tyson is a superstar.

Startalk's mix of Tyson and comedy induced from fantastic co-hosts Eugine Mirman and Chuck Niiiiiiice is one of the most successful recepied ever. What a joy.

I hope Startalk runs for as long as possible.

Never though science could be so interesting! I now have an obsession with it and I find myself muttering random facts at people which I got from this show!

Very good to listen to on the way to work or whenever really :)

NDT makes everything simple and interesting, would highly recommend :)

On paper this should be a great show: competent hosts, some excellent guests and cool subjects. And yet, StarTalk is surprisingly boring and uninteresting. Disappointing.

A long advertisement session with a great podcast interspersed throughout. Great Host and content, terrible format.

Listening is hard work.

Not much is really said. It's more about mind numbing adverts and mundane conversations with a (purposefully?) challenged co host. This could just be because I'm english and not at all used to the was American radio shows are produced.

This show is really inspiring, enlightening and educational especially with the one and only astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson hosting it, along with his group of comedians making the show much more funny to listen to. Keep up the good work and keep these podcasts coming!

.

Dr. Tyson has made a great show balancing science, humour and great guests. Please keep the show going :)

He helps me get to sleep,no offence :)

Such an interesting show with a lot of good humour thrown in to boot. Professor Tyson's voice is so silky smooth, I'd choose him to narrate my life story (if it wasn't so dull).

Tyson, with the help of his co-hosts/guests, injects your dullest mornings with laughter and some great scientific facts. He never takes himself too seriously; he simply encourages you to sit back and enjoy being in the company of the most charismatic of scientists. I listen to this through speakers so the whole house can enjoy it - and they do.

What can I say? Neil Degrasse Tyson is one of the greatest public science educators of our time and this production is a great example of what he does best. While often a little pedestrian for people that have a good grounding in popular science it makes up for it in buckets with it's eloquence and it's hilarity.

What a show. If your into science then this is the best show ever. Neil Degrass Tyson is just amazing. Download and don't even think about it. Brilliant

Is what I say whenever I see neil degrasse tyson! Humour, learning and such an ease at explaning amazing topics!

When's the next show coming out guys??? I miss it loads !!!!!! Great show ..... Hope to see more of the same !!!
