  • Dsolsko
    High quality, interesting interviews packaged well!
    This show is a great addition to the library of space/science enthusiasts, hobbyist or professional. Quality interviews and a good production value!
  • spaceh0gg
    Excellent
    Great scientific discussion of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
  • Pineapple458
    Good Podcast
    With all the dips going on lately it would be great if this podcast would have more episodes. It seems like it has gone by the wayside.
  • sflicht
    Great podcast for astronomy fans
    Paul has provided the best coverage out there (by far) of Tabby's Star on this show. The episodes that delve into other non-astronomy/SETI topics are also pretty cool. My only quibble is that you won't like the (sometimes quite long) musical outtros unless you share the host's enthusiasm for weird jazz.
  • j355ga
    Thought provoking
    A refreshing take on SETI and space exploration and technology. The host and guests discuss subjects from a rational science based perspective. A refreshing podcast that thankfully avoids the media-hyped hysteria around UFO topics. The recording quality of the older podcasts tends to be poor (drops, heavy breathing, poor phone connections) but this problem has been eliminated in the newer episodes.
  • Shifty189
    Good podcast
    The sound quality could be better, but over all a very good podcast. The host is very like able, But comes off as inexperienced. Final words. Good podcast that will get even better with time 4 stars.
  • Tyler Kokjohn
    The Stars Have Aligned
    The timing could not be better for this podcast - each day brings new scientific revelations about our Universe and the prospects for intelligent life. Calling on technical experts and opinion leaders, listeners will get new perspectives on the situation and searches from fresh voices. I recommend taking this journey.

    Terrific!
    Excellent, informative podcast.

    A logical approach to an important question
    For more than a century, talk of extraterrestrial life has mostly been the domain of science fiction and crackpots. Scientific discoveries over the last couple of decades, however, have brought us to a point where it appears quite unlikely that we are alone in our galaxy. The host presents the topic matter from a logical, rather than sensational, viewpoint. This podcast only has 4 episodes as of today but they are off to a great start.
  • Freakwater
    Not off to a good start
    The first episode was an mostly uncritical interview with an amateur UFOlogist. Also, a lot of heavy breathing and sniffing sounds from the podcaster. He needs a pop shield in front of his microphone or better equipment. I'll listen to a few more episodes before rendering my final opinion.
