Really enjoy listening to this quality podcast and have learnt a lot from listening .Although I did like the segmented system.One of the best science shows you can find.

Still good but there are more musical interludes and station idents - why aren't they being editted out?

Ira Flatow - Still the guvnor!

I'm been listening to the back catalogue of these and can honestly state that they are brilliant.

My only criticism would be that I preferred it when they included the episode numbers so I could order them in to transmission order as often there are forward previews of what is coming up or back references which don't make sense.

Highly recommended!!

Ira Flatow (and guest hosts with the same voice) covers many different apects of science news to a level that should be accessible, yet informative to all. Where possible he goes to the horses mouth, speaking to the actual scientists involved in the work.

A masterpiece; better that the New Scientist's SciPod which went from being over-Americanised to being cancelled.

Topics are both varied and interesting; these are well worth the download.
