I learned lots of information about lots of fish!

I learned tons of interesting facts about various kinds of fish listening to this show.
Fish of the Week brought many interesting fish to my attention that I previously did not know about.
I just wish more time could be given to each guest and each fish. Sometimes episodes seem to end right as they get interesting.
It would be nice to get more scientific information such as the cladistics, but each episode acts as sort of an introduction to a species, and encourages me to do more of my own reading/research on the fish that interest me most.
I hope they keep making these forever.

Informationally good not impressed with Dr. Mike Armstrong

Informationally this is a pretty good podcast but not impressed at all by the entitlement of Dr. Mike Armstrong, his cocky demeanor was unpleasant and annoying to listen too. Would of been more enjoyable if he would have taken it a bit more seriously.
