Best Podcast Ever!

Respectful interviews, factual reporting and unashamed to admit if wrong on previous episodes. A great weekly listen for staying up to date on various topics and fields of scientific study. I personally love the "Science or Fiction" segment at the end of each episode.

Unbiased and Fair
