A lot of good info but …

Psdan5/4/2026

Good info and guests and, unfortunately, a lot of people trying to be funny. I rarely get as much as a chuckle out of the humour that disrupts the flow of the science I came to hear. From the start I have come back once or twice a year hoping for some change and been disappointed. Listening to someone trying to be funny is like listening to someone trying to play the violin. There is a reason that comedians work so hard on a routine over the course of weeks/months. They don’t make it up as they go because most attempts fail and lead to people cringing rather than laughing.

Disgusted with BBC bigotry I support Ince

Poppy Corn3/2/2026

I am heart broken to have to leave one of my favorite shows due to the anti-science decision to push out Robin because he has integrity, and the anti-trans bigots at the BBC have none. I believe Brian Cox also needs to walk away from the BBC BIGOTS!

Corporate Bigotry

TwoBuckHowie1/14/2026

Love this show but the BBC has reared its ugly head once again. Robin Ince will be sorely missed but I believe in a person who stands by their convictions in the face of corporate bigotry! I know good Karma will flow to you! Stay strong Robin

BBC is transphobic

markpa1/9/2026

Not listening to any more podcasts from the transphobic bigots at the BBC after they deny the scientific evidence for transgender individuals and force Robin Ince from this show. Instead they accept they bigoted and unscientific findings of a TERF.

Fix the ads timing

The ads always come at odd times and cut in half-sentence while someone is still talking. Some minimum post production is needed BBC.
