Very entertaining and informative. Pogue is a great presenter (despite his deliberately dad-jokey style) who weaves a great tale around every subject.

I've learned so much from this podcast! Every episode is interesting and well researched. I'm a big fan of David's story telling style. I recommend it to everyone. Please tell me there will be more seasons!

David is one of my favorite science contributors on television programs like Nova and CBS Sunday morning. Unsung Science is a great combination of entertainment and education!
