Beautiful Combination of Knowledge and Humor

This is by far my favorite podcast ever! Neil and Chuck have great chemistry and are always super funny while being extremely informative. The topics are always really interesting and very varied. Cosmic queries have quickly become a favorite too! Its special episodes where Neil brings experts to answer really interesting questions from the public. This is not just his podcast - its all of ours! Super recommended :)

I've read 3 of Dr. Tysons books and always enjoy his insight and knowledge. Adding Chuck alongside Dr. Tyson is brilliant! The show is extremely informative, entertaining, and easy to listen to!
