Interesting topics and well researched. My problem is with way it is curated. The frequent shift of interlocutors back and forth makes it hard to follow at times.

An exceptionally good scientific podcast. As a researcher of 7+ years, I am astonished about the accessible presentation yet highly accurate scientific content. The podcast quality is also very high, with audio and interviews.
