  • Kind of a mixed bag

    Some Episode are quite interesting and informative, some are more of a advertisement for companies and some are just blatant Chinese propaganda. That ones are especially disappointing.

  • Information overload

    I’m a PhD student working in the molecular biology field yet find myself drowning in acronyms and esoteric terminology throughout these podcasts that totally cloud the take home messages. Totally wrong style for a podcast- for an academic review one can sit down and take notes on, yes. But for a podcast? Nooooooo
