Best Podcast Ever!

This is the one that started me down the rabbit hole of podcasts and is still my favorite after 10 years of listening.

Evidence based science

A podcast for critical thinkers. If you want fluff this is not the podcast for you.

Unbiased and Fair

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.

Good intoduction to future science.

Science Fiction can give us the illusion things like space travel will be easy. This dispells that notion, but gives hope on other sci-fi promises.
