  • Insufferable

    Academics are insufferable. They are so self aggrandizing and everything they say sounds like a commercial. Spoiled brats need there ivory towers burnt down so they can toil in the dirt like the rest of us. You are not special. Stop fooling yourselves.

  • We see the zipper

    Good show, quality content. It’d be great if it didn’t sound 100% scripted, though.

  • Episode 29

    This an amazing podcast. Very comprehensive. It clears all the stupid things the news casters put on the evening News. It answers all questions very well and objectively. Only wish, Mega could speak a little slower. That’s the reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 start rating. Sharing it liberally with friends and colleagues

  • Stereo Chemistry is great

    The topics are all really interesting. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the Heemstra Lab's grant writing/dissecting workshop discussed in Episode 16
