Interesting topics but too much effort spent making jokes

Bing Bong the Circus Monkey•10/6/2026

In general I like the topics presented, but I find that the amount of time given to guests to talk is not enough, while the amount of time Neil and Chuck (and usually it’s Chuck) spend riffing on a joke is waaaaay too much.

Longtime fan of the show

I’ve learned so much from this show / Neil, and even the Cosmos. My mind is always pushing past humanly limits listening, learning, and thinking about the concepts and topics discussed on STR. Great guests as well - keep up the amazing work!

Get Rid of Chuck Nice

WebWraith•7/28/2026

He always comments that the scientists that are discovering or have, must be taking drugs, weed, LSD, etc. These scientists are using the scientific method, sober for decades. Why does Chuck Nice have to diminish their discoveries as coming from a mind altering drug experience!!! Instead of pure steadfast genius???

Close to awesome

I love the topics and I love the guests. I love the energy and curiosity. But it’s hard to listen to Neil & other hosts interrupting everyone else. The guests can’t even finish their sentences - even as they’re saying fascinating things.

Fascinating

I love all the different topics and listener questions. Tyson is The Science Mind of these times, yet he is humble and really cares about helping listeners connect with ideas and concepts. Love this show!
